Chapter 6044: Formidable Enemy

Historian Mu Sui did not hesitate at all and directly betrayed Zhang Yiteng and the others.

The method he used to betray them was also simple.

He stated directly that Zhang Yiteng, Jin Xiangming, and Kong Xiangyu were his accomplices.

These men had changed their names and entered the Imperial Palace to become eunuchs, all for the purpose of assassinating the Emperor.

Upon learning this, the Emperor laughed in extreme anger, unable to close his mouth from amusement.

"Good! Good! This bunch of people all deserve to die! Xiao Fan! You did very well in this matter! I intend to pursue this matter to the end; do you know what to do?!"

"Understood." Xiao Fan nodded heavily.

Afterward, an even more interesting scene unfolded.

Inside the Celestial Prison.

Historian Mu Sui, Zhao Tiangang, Zhang Yiteng, Jin Xiangming, and Kong Xiangyu were all hung up in a neat row.

Xiao Fan held a long whip and paced back and forth in front of them.

Whenever he saw someone he didn't like, he would walk up and lash them with the whip!

"Crack!"

"Ah~~~ Xiao Fan, didn't you just whip me a moment ago?!" Zhang Yiteng roared in pain.

"Hehehe… I just don't like the look of you, is that not allowed?!" Xiao Fan sneered and lashed Zhang Yiteng with the whip again.

"Ah~~~ Fine, fine! It's allowed!" Zhang Yiteng gritted his teeth in pain.

Xiao Fan nodded with satisfaction and walked over to Kong Xiangyu.

"Crack!"

"I don't like the look of you either!" Xiao Fan sneered.

At this moment, these Captains of the Personal Guard had all become Xiao Fan's prisoners.

Xiao Fan smiled, walked to the window of the Celestial Prison, gazed at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and gave a faint smile.

"If I round them all up and lock them in the Celestial Prison, can I take my time looking for them?"

Everyone: "…"

Outside.

"Immortal King Ting Yue! This Xiao Fan is too arrogant! Too arrogant!" Wu Tongtian said angrily.

"He! He has gone a bit too far." Immortal King Ting Yue sighed softly.

In the eyes of Immortal King Ting Yue, this trial was originally supposed to be a well-matched battle that required racking one's brains.

But the result was just inexplicable.

Several Captains of the Personal Guard even went as far as to castrate themselves!!

As a result, they all fell into the Celestial Prison and were constantly tortured by Xiao Fan.

As for the others, some hadn't even thought of a way to infiltrate the Imperial Palace.

In comparison, they were far inferior to Xiao Fan.

"My Lord! It cannot go on like this! We must increase the difficulty for Xiao Fan!" Wu Tongtian said angrily.

"Let me think about it; there is no rush." Immortal King Ting Yue sighed softly.

In a blink of an eye, Xiao Fan had already spent half a year in the Imperial Palace.

Relying on his superb wit, he became the Commander of the Imperial Palace Guard and also gained control of the Imperial Guards.

It could be said that within the Imperial City, besides the Emperor, Xiao Fan was the most powerful person.

The high-ranking official whom Historian Mu Sui had previously sought refuge with had already been executed by Xiao Fan!

Originally, the Emperor had intended to have Historian Mu Sui, Zhang Yiteng, and the others torn apart by chariots.

But Xiao Fan stopped the Emperor, saying that he wanted to thoroughly torture these people.

Locking them in the Celestial Prison to suffer day and night would serve as a warning to those who came after, letting them understand the price of assassinating the Emperor.

The Emperor was satisfied with Xiao Fan's approach, believing that Xiao Fan was like a roundworm in his stomach.

As Xiao Fan's recommender, Emperor Xie Caijun was also doing quite well.

Xiao Fan and Emperor Xie Caijun had a very good relationship.

To ensure he could sleep soundly without worries, Xiao Fan asked Emperor Xie Caijun to help find clues about the others.

In the end, except for one person, everyone else was locked in the Celestial Prison by Xiao Fan.

No one expected that Xiao Fan would actually wipe them all out.

There were a total of 14 people locked in the Celestial Prison.

Besides Xiao Fan, only one competitor remained outside.

Xiao Fan walked with his chest puffed out and head held high in front of Zhang Yiteng and the others.

"Do you regret it now? To have offended me so?" Xiao Fan said calmly with his hands behind his back.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Zhang Yiteng and the others turned extremely ugly.

In order to suffer less physical pain, they each begged miserably for mercy.

Xiao Fan was very satisfied with this and nodded repeatedly.

"Lord Xiao, we were wrong! We were truly wrong!"

"Lord Xiao, we submit to you! Truly!"

"Even if we make it out later, we wouldn't dare to be your enemy! Okay? Please don't hit us anymore!"

"…"

Xiao Fan nodded with satisfaction and gave a dry cough: "Very good. Remember what you have said now, otherwise, hehe… I will definitely make you regret it and pay an even greater price."

Xiao Fan tossed the whip in his hand, put his hands behind his back, and strolled away.

Zhang Yiteng and the others were no longer a threat.

These people were living in misery, regretting their actions too late.

If they had known it would come to this, why would they have offended Xiao Fan?

Now, only one formidable enemy remained…

This person was named Shangguan Hongwu, and his Realm was the Ninth Level of the True Immortal Spirit Realm.

In Xiao Fan's eyes, this Shangguan Hongwu was his greatest formidable enemy.

"He cannot be underestimated. Where exactly is this person?" Xiao Fan muttered.
