Chapter 6048: I Am Doing This for Your Own Good

Since things have reached this point, it must be related to Shangguan Hongwu.

But Xiao Fan felt no fear; instead, he was reminding the Emperor.

Rashly believing Shangguan Hongwu's words would not end well.

Previously, Xiao Fan had feared Shangguan Hongwu because he didn't know his whereabouts, but now that the man had appeared, everything was easier to handle.

"A traitor?!" The Emperor frowned slightly and glanced at Shangguan Hongwu.

The other ministers did the same, all looking toward Shangguan Hongwu together.

Undoubtedly, the traitor Xiao Fan spoke of was Shangguan Hongwu.

"Hehehe… Lord Xiao, are you referring to me?" Shangguan Hongwu looked Xiao Fan up and down with a faint smile.

"As expected, a traitor has self-awareness." Xiao Fan turned around and looked at Shangguan Hongwu coldly.

"I said there was a traitor, and you admitted it immediately. You are quite clever."

"Xiao Fan! You… I am the Old Immortal of Tianshan. How dare you slander me like this?!" Shangguan Hongwu said in a rage.

Hearing the word "immortal," everyone was shocked.

"Old Immortal?!" Xiao Fan sized up Shangguan Hongwu.

Xiao Fan believed that Shangguan Hongwu had recovered some of his Divine Abilities.

But for some reason, the man was unable to attack him.

After all, Immortal King Ting Yue and Wu Tongtian must be monitoring everything.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan had nothing to fear.

He took a step forward, stood in front of Shangguan Hongwu, and spoke in a cold voice.

"You say you're an Old Immortal? Ridiculous. An immortal? Come! Then use your Divine Ability to kill me!" Xiao Fan stretched out his neck, leaned into Shangguan Hongwu's face, and pointed with his finger.

"Come! Do it."

"Xiao Fan! You… don't push me!" Shangguan Hongwu gnashed his teeth and glared at Xiao Fan.

"Hahaha… Push you? I'm just stating facts. If you dare, then do it! If not, you're just a fraud who deceives the world!" Xiao Fan laughed wildly, looking at Shangguan Hongwu with contempt.

Shangguan Hongwu was so angry that his fists were tightly clenched.

He wanted to attack too!

But the problem was, he couldn't do it at all.

Shangguan Hongwu had no Divine Ability at all; everything was Wu Tongtian helping from the shadows.

Seeing Shangguan Hongwu's gloomy face, Xiao Fan confirmed his suspicion.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Fan turned and bowed to the Emperor with his hands clasped.

"Did you see that? This so-called Old Immortal! Hehehe… is just a fraud! He doesn't know any Divine Abilities. He is openly deceiving you in the main hall. Wouldn't you call this the crime of deceiving the monarch?!" Xiao Fan shouted loudly.

Seeing this, the Emperor's brow furrowed, his expression shifting uncertainly.

Indeed.

If he were an immortal, why wouldn't he just wave his hand and kill Xiao Fan?!

But if he weren't an immortal, how did he make him unable to speak last night?!

Seeing this, the ministers looked at each other and then all knelt down together.

"Your Majesty! Lord Xiao is right!"

"Your Majesty! This person must be a fraud!"

"Your Majesty! Lord Xiao is right! This person dares to deceive the monarch! He must be severely punished!!"

"…"

The ministers in the court naturally knew Xiao Fan's strength.

Seeing this, Shangguan Hongwu was stunned; he hadn't expected Xiao Fan's influence to be so great.

"Xiao Fan, you… don't slander me!" Shangguan Hongwu roared, his voice trembling with rage.

"Slander? Hahaha… Ridiculous. Am I not speaking the truth?!" Xiao Fan turned and looked coldly at Shangguan Hongwu, walking toward him step by step.

Xiao Fan was a head taller than Shangguan Hongwu, and he looked down coldly into the other's eyes.

"Your name is Shangguan Hongwu, right? A swindling fraud! Deceiving Your Majesty! You deserve to die ten thousand deaths!"

Xiao Fan directly reached out and tightly gripped Shangguan Hongwu's neck.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

With one hand, Xiao Fan lifted Shangguan Hongwu off the ground.

Shangguan Hongwu's face turned red, and he was suffocating from the grip.

"Daring to deceive Your Majesty! Today is the day you die!" Xiao Fan spoke coldly, intending to strangle Shangguan Hongwu to death.

"Mmm-mmm… you…" Shangguan Hongwu stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Seeing this, the ministers' expressions changed.

"Xiao Fan, you…"

"Your Majesty, I am doing this for your own good." Xiao Fan turned his head and looked at the Emperor calmly.
