Chapter 6046: Imperial Preceptor

Zhang Yiteng and his group didn't even last half a day against Xiao Fan before their entire army was wiped out!

Of course.

Wu Tongtian also admired Xiao Fan; despite being in a brothel and acting as a pimp, he actually managed to come up with such a method!!

"Lord Wu, then what should we do?!" Shangguan Hongwu asked.

"Hehehe… It's simple." Wu Tongtian chuckled and waved his hand.

In the next moment, Shangguan Hongwu's beggar clothes vanished, replaced by a purple robe and an air of transcendent elegance.

"This…"

"Shangguan Hongwu, I will now use invisibility to help you enter the palace. When you see the Emperor, say…" Wu Tongtian whispered, outlining a despicable plan.

Shangguan Hongwu nodded repeatedly, clapped in approval, and kowtowed to Wu Tongtian.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Wu! Thank you!"

"Mhm, rise." Wu Tongtian spoke indifferently, the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably.

He didn't believe that once this plan was set in motion, Xiao Fan would still have a way to turn the tide!!

Soon, with Wu Tongtian's help, Shangguan Hongwu entered the Imperial Palace directly.

Without alerting any Imperial Palace Guards, he went straight to the Emperor's palace.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

With an air of transcendent elegance, Shangguan Hongwu appeared before the Emperor.

"You… who are you?!" The Emperor was startled and roared, "Someone, come quickly! An assassin! There's an assassin!"

"Silence."

Shangguan Hongwu waved his hand.

With Wu Tongtian's help, the Emperor suddenly found himself unable to speak.

The Emperor was terrified and looked at Shangguan Hongwu in shock.

"Do not be afraid, Your Majesty. I am not a bad person; I am an immortal who cultivates the Dao on Tianshan Mountain." Shangguan Hongwu spoke calmly.

Hearing this, the Emperor showed a look of astonishment.

"Do not be afraid, Your Majesty. This old Daoist has come to help you." Shangguan Hongwu spoke calmly and gave a light wave of his hand.

In the next moment, the Emperor found he could speak again.

"You… you're really an immortal?!"

"Indeed." Shangguan Hongwu nodded. "If I wanted to harm Your Majesty, you would be dead already, wouldn't you?"

Hearing this, the Emperor's heart trembled, and he nodded.

"Then, Old Immortal, your purpose for coming this time is…"

"To help you." Shangguan Hongwu placed his hands behind his back and let out a soft sigh. "This old Daoist observed the celestial phenomena at night and discovered that Your Majesty is in danger! Someone wants to kill you! They covet your throne!"

As a ruler, this was what he feared most!

"Who… who is it?!" the Emperor asked in astonishment.

"Your Majesty! In recent years, who is the person you trust the most?!" Shangguan Hongwu's expression was grave as he spoke in a deep voice. "This person is your confidant! He is deeply trusted by you! The person who will betray you… is him!"

"The person I trust?!" The Emperor froze for a moment, a name surfacing in his mind.

"Xiao Fan!!"

"Exactly! It's him!" Shangguan Hongwu nodded heavily.

"Your Majesty! This person has been calculating and plotting just to harm you! You must be on your guard!!"

"But why would he?"

"For a rebellious official and a traitor, what 'why' is there to speak of?!" Shangguan Hongwu sighed softly and flicked his finger.

In the next moment, a scene of Xiao Fan's betrayal and him personally killing the Emperor appeared in the Emperor's mind.

"He… killed me…"

The Emperor was startled and slumped onto the ground, murmuring in shock.

"Your Majesty! You understand now, don't you? This Xiao Fan… must be eliminated."

"Damn him!" The Emperor was furious and wanted to immediately issue an imperial decree to kill Xiao Fan.

But after hesitating for a moment, he felt it was inappropriate.

Currently, Xiao Fan controlled the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Palace Guards.

If Xiao Fan were driven to desperation, he would be in real danger!

After hesitating, the Emperor spoke in a deep voice, "Old Immortal! Are you willing to become the Imperial Preceptor and help me eliminate Xiao Fan?!"

"Ah? This… I am willing." Shangguan Hongwu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Originally, in Shangguan Hongwu's view, the Emperor would have directly ordered Xiao Fan's elimination.

But as it turned out, the Emperor didn't have that kind of courage.

He planned to dismantle the power in Xiao Fan's hands bit by bit!

This was one of the restrictions placed on Wu Tongtian by Immortal King Ting Yue.

Which was that he could not directly interfere with anyone's actions.

Since the Emperor decided to slowly contend with Xiao Fan and eliminate him bit by bit, Wu Tongtian could not interfere.
