Chapter 6050: Deceiving the Public with Lies

At this moment, Xiao Fan had to suppress Shangguan Hongwu.

Otherwise, once the winds of the imperial court shifted, he would be the one in danger.

In the imperial court, most people were those who trimmed their sails to the wind.

Especially the Emperor's view; although he was a Powerful Minister, he was not the Emperor.

Xiao Fan knew clearly in his heart that he had to suppress Shangguan Hongwu firmly.

"You, you, you…"

"You what? Shangguan Hongwu! Just who are you? Why have you come to deceive the public with lies and trick Your Majesty?!" Xiao Fan spoke in a low voice.

"I…"

*Slap*

"Speak up!" Xiao Fan backhanded Shangguan Hongwu with another slap.

Shangguan Hongwu was old and frail; he was no match for Xiao Fan at all.

"You, you…"

"You what? Use a Divine Ability to kill me! Go ahead." Xiao Fan gave a wicked smile and winked at Shangguan Hongwu.

Shangguan Hongwu was furious, thinking to himself that this Xiao Fan was indeed not simple.

He had seen through at a glance that he was unable to perform any Divine Ability.

The one performing the Divine Ability was someone else.

Standing behind Shangguan Hongwu, the always-invisible Wu Tongtian sighed softly and rubbed his forehead in frustration.

This Shangguan Hongwu was truly like rotten wood that couldn't be carved.

He had already helped so much, yet the result was that the other's Aura was completely suppressed by Xiao Fan.

Outside.

Ting Yue Immortal King chuckled and shook her head.

"This Xiao Fan is indeed not simple. Shangguan Hongwu, sigh… how did he ever become the Captain of the Personal Guard?"

In front of Xiao Fan, Shangguan Hongwu was like a child; all his methods had lost their effect.

…

"Kill me! Come! Kill me!"

*Slap*

Xiao Fan slapped Shangguan Hongwu hard across the face.

The slap made blood spray from Shangguan Hongwu's nostrils, and he nearly fell over.

"Xiao Fan! You!!"

"Wave your hand," Wu Tongtian's voice rang out.

Without a word, Shangguan Hongwu immediately waved his hand.

With a "boom," Xiao Fan was blown back by a gust of Astral Wind.

Shangguan Hongwu rubbed his nose and gritted his teeth, saying, "Xiao Fan! I cannot strike a Mortal! Otherwise, you would be the first one I kill!"

"Mortal? Hahaha… Ridiculous. What kind of old immortal do you think you are?!" Xiao Fan shook his head disdainfully and looked at the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, this man is a fraud! Kill him!"

"This…" The Emperor's expression was troubled.

The slaps Xiao Fan had just given Shangguan Hongwu had left the Emperor in a daze as well.

If he were truly an immortal, how could he willingly let himself be slapped?!

Do immortals have such good tempers?!

The Emperor didn't believe it either.

Just as the Emperor was hesitating whether or not to believe Xiao Fan,

Suddenly,

The scene before his eyes changed, and an image emerged.

In the image, Xiao Fan was clad in armor, leading a great army into the palace, decapitating him with a single stroke, and declaring himself king!!

*Gulp*

The Emperor swallowed hard, drenched in sweat. The look he gave Xiao Fan was filled with terror and rage.

Xiao Fan was stunned; the Emperor's gaze had suddenly changed.

What had happened?!

"Xiao Fan! You… how dare you! My decision! My honored guest! Is it up to you to decide?!" the Emperor roared.

Hearing this, the expressions of the ministers changed again.

The wind today was very strange and difficult to read.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty!" Xiao Fan cupped his fists and bowed deeply to the Emperor.

Xiao Fan suspected that the Emperor's sudden change was the work of Ting Yue Immortal King or Wu Tongtian playing tricks.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain it.

"You, you, you…"

"Your Majesty, this person is deceiving the public with lies!" Xiao Fan pointed at Shangguan Hongwu and spoke in a low voice, "He must be severely punished!"

"Severely punished? Xiao Fan! I think you are the one deceiving the public with lies!" The Emperor exhaled and spoke in a heavy voice.

"Your Majesty, I, Xiao Fan, have exhausted myself in your service. How am I deceiving the public with lies?!" Xiao Fan looked up, staring coldly at the Emperor.

"Hehehe… My dear ministers, what do you say?" The Emperor sneered, scanning the kneeling ministers in the hall.

The ministers were terrified and remained silent.

One was a Powerful Minister, the other was the Emperor.

It was hard to choose a side!

If they weren't careful, they would lose their lives.

Shangguan Hongwu was still watching the show when Wu Tongtian's scolding rang in his ears: "What are you looking at? Speak up!!"

Shangguan Hongwu was startled and took a breath.

He could sense a deep resentment in Wu Tongtian's tone.

To be honest, if he were Wu Tongtian, he would probably resent himself too.

After all, Shangguan Hongwu's current performance was indeed too useless.

"Xiao Fan! You are a Traitorous Official!" Shangguan Hongwu glared at Xiao Fan with bristling eyebrows and then looked at the Emperor.

"Your Majesty! You are the Son of Heaven! Naturally, you are different from the masses! This man is arrogant! If he is not eliminated, he will surely rebel in the future!!"

Rebellion was a crime that would lead to the Extermination of Nine Generations in any dynasty.
