Chapter 6051: Do You Want to Be the Emperor?

Even for members of the imperial family, as long as it involved rebellion, the outcome was the same—a capital crime resulting in the execution of nine generations of the family.

Shangguan Hongwu was labeling Xiao Fan as a rebel specifically to send him to his death!

If it were anyone else, the Emperor would have already ordered their execution.

But Xiao Fan was an exception.

Even the Emperor did not dare to casually deal with this powerful official.

“Hehehe… Shangguan Hongwu, with just one sentence, you want to make a decision on behalf of His Majesty? You are incredibly audacious.”

Xiao Fan sneered, approaching Shangguan Hongwu step by step.

Shangguan Hongwu was startled and hurriedly backed away: “Don't come over here!”

“Hahaha… What? Are you afraid? Afraid I'll slap you?!” Xiao Fan laughed wildly.

“You! You! You’re going too far!” Shangguan Hongwu stomped his feet in anger.

He was full of hatred!

A powerhouse at the ninth level of the True Immortal Spirit Realm like himself was actually being suppressed to this extent.

Wu Tongtian hated it even more; he hadn't expected Shangguan Hongwu to be such a piece of trash.

The Emperor's expression shifted uncertainly.

He didn't entirely believe Shangguan Hongwu's words.

But whether he believed them or not was no longer important. The seeds of suspicion had been sown, and Xiao Fan had to be eliminated.

Otherwise, he would not be able to eat or sleep in peace in the future.

After hesitating for a moment, the Emperor spoke in a heavy voice: “Fine, everyone withdraw. Court is adjourned.”

Hearing this, the various ministers looked at each other and then bowed in unison before leaving.

Slipping away quickly at a time like this was the wisest course of action.

“Your Majesty, your servant has something to say!”

“Next time. Shangguan Hongwu, you come with me.” The Emperor spoke in a low voice.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan's gaze narrowed.

The Emperor's current decision clearly showed that he no longer trusted him.

It was just that the Emperor was completely unaware of Xiao Fan's thoughts.

Afterward, Shangguan Hongwu followed the Emperor and left.

Xiao Fan let out a breath and turned to leave, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

Xiao Fan had countless informants within the imperial palace.

However, the subsequent conversation between the Emperor and Shangguan Hongwu was held after dismissing everyone else; Xiao Fan received no news at all.

Because of this, the worry in Xiao Fan's heart grew heavier.

Rebellion?!

What a joke!

Xiao Fan's goal was simply Immortal King Ting Yue's disciple token.

Yet this kind of thing had happened for no apparent reason.

…

“Brother Shangguan, you are right. This Xiao Fan is too arrogant.”

Inside the palace, the Emperor sighed deeply.

“Exactly! He must be eliminated! Your Majesty! Currently, the four seas are at peace! If this Xiao Fan is not removed, he will surely become a disaster in the future,” Shangguan Hongwu said seriously.

After a long heart-to-heart talk, the Emperor and Shangguan Hongwu had become sworn brothers, and the Emperor now addressed him as 'Brother'.

“Indeed, he must be eliminated.” The Emperor nodded heavily, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

But to eliminate Xiao Fan, he had to act with lightning speed.

Moreover, he had to guard against the power Xiao Fan held in his hands.

The Emperor hoped Shangguan Hongwu would take action and use immortal arts to kill Xiao Fan directly.

“It won't work. This person is strange; my immortal arts are ineffective against him. Sigh… Your Majesty, this is the terrifying part about Xiao Fan—he actually knows sorcery!” Shangguan Hongwu said earnestly.

“This Xiao Fan! He deserves to die!” The Emperor gnashed his teeth and cursed under his breath.

“Your Majesty! We must come up with a foolproof plan!” Shangguan Hongwu said seriously.

The Emperor took a deep breath and immediately issued a secret decree.

The content was to have the Border Garrison return to the Imperial City immediately.

Xiao Fan controlled the Capital Guards and the Imperial Palace Guards.

Once the other party rebelled, Xiao Fan would be invincible within the Imperial City.

“Wait… once the Border Garrison arrives, we can eliminate him.” The Emperor spoke in a low voice.

“Your Majesty is wise!” Shangguan Hongwu was overjoyed and bowed to the Emperor with cupped fists.

The Emperor let out a breath, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Standing in the corner, Wu Tongtian nodded with satisfaction.

In her view, Xiao Fan was undoubtedly doomed!!

Soon, this secret decree was sent out of the Imperial City.

However, the Emperor had underestimated the current Xiao Fan.

The news of a secret decree leaving the palace was immediately discovered by Xiao Fan's people.

Although they didn't intercept the secret decree, Xiao Fan understood the Emperor's move in his heart.

“Since it's come to this, then don't blame me…” Xiao Fan sighed softly.

At night.

He quietly left the palace and headed to Emperor Xie Caijun's manor.

“Xiao Fan, why are you here?!” Emperor Xie Caijun asked in astonishment.

Regarding Xiao Fan's confrontation with the Emperor during the day, Emperor Xie Caijun was already aware.

Xiao Fan had been introduced to the Emperor by Emperor Xie Caijun.

Now that Xiao Fan was in trouble, Emperor Xie Caijun felt a lingering fear…

Unfortunately, Emperor Xie Caijun could not distance himself from this matter.

He could only secretly pray that this matter would not involve him later.

Xiao Fan got straight to the point and stated his thoughts.

“Brother Xie, what is the nature of our relationship?!” Xiao Fan spoke in a low voice.

“We are like brothers!”

“Very good.” Xiao Fan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: “I'm asking you now, do you want to be the Emperor?!”

“Ah?!” Emperor Xie Caijun was startled and looked at Xiao Fan in shock.

“You… what did you say?!”
