Celestial Overlord - Chapter 77 Competition

“Your Highness! We received an emergency transmission from Jiang city’s military force” a soldier came running as he said the news. The Emperor and the Noble were discussing the intersect competition. The Emperor frowned hearing this, “What happened?” a commanding voice echoed in the hall.

“It seems an Expert has arrived at the Jiang city, your Highness!” hearing this the Emperor frowned. Why does an Expert arrival make a big news? He thought. But after hearing the rest of the news, he and the Nobles stood up as some gasped while some trembled.

“Did you said that the whole Xing clan was burned to ashes?” the Emperor asked. The soldier nodded his head in response. “How many experts were there?” one of the Noble asked. “It seems only one young man, my Lord!” the soldier’s reply further stunned the Nobles.

But only the Emperor stayed somewhat calm. He knew the news about Tian Lee going to the Jiang city. The words Tian Lee spoke on the day he executed his first son resounded in his mind : Listen! I will give you Two option : Leave that beast life here, and I permit you to leave, But If you even have a thought of rescuing him, then there will be no more royal family in Taing country”.

Those words sent a shiver to him again. What if he had thought of rescuing his foolish elder son that day, will his family would have turned to ashes just like this. ” Tuff” he fell on the throne on his butt, he did not know the real identity of Tian Lee. He only came to know Tian Lee was brought by his father to Lee clan.

He did not further investigate because of fear. The Nobles were looking at the King with confused eyes, they all knew what Xing clan was doing behind the scene but he neglected them, as a King in power he needed support. A Monarch should be always ruthless and ambitious

He knows the path to of being a true Monarch is filled with blood. So he must sacrifice some innocent lives to achieve it. So he never gave a thought about the poor souls that were dying in the hands of that wicked one. As an Emperor he needed power, so he gave a face to them, when they did injustice to the mortals.

“Am i really worth my title as a King?” he mumbled. He just lost his son, his pride! the genius and it was all due to neglecting his bad behavior. He just understood a single thing from all this, that Tian Lee was on a hunt. A hunt for the evil ones.

A silent atmosphere was present throughout the King’s chamber. No one said a word after hearing this news. To think someone burned the people alive, a shiver went down on everyone.

“Your Highness! What about the intersect competition?” the soldier question broke the silence. Hearing this Emperor went into a deep thought. “There will be no change in that, the competition will commence as planned” he said after some time.

Inside the Lotus sect, in the Supreme Elder courtyard. Tian Lee was sitting as he stared at the black sword in his hands. On the day when he was judging the people of Xing clan. The moment he transformed into his real form, the black sword in his void dimension appeared in front of him.

When he held the sword in his hands, hundreds of sword appeared through void as it pointed in the direction of Xing clan. The swords looked like as if they were waiting for his command.

He didn’t know why but he felt like the sword was just made for him. He tried asking Cheng, but she remained silent. The same happened with others.

“Young master !” Yoshi’s voice came from the other side of the door. Hearing Yoshi voice Tian Lee snapped out of this thoughts. “Come in Yoshi!” Tian Lee said as he saw Yoshi arriving with his breakfast in her hands.

She placed the food in front of him as she stood beside him. Her eyes were full of worry, when she looked at Tian Lee. Everyone was concerned about him including Kitty. The incident that happened last night shook everyone.

The screams of children even made Yoshi cry. Tian Lee saw her eyes which was filled with worries. She was one of the people Tian Lee cared more about. She has always followed him from the day he brought her.

She took care of him, even when people were mocking him, she stood against them. There was one day when she even quarrelled with Han Lee for calling him cripple. The sarcastic words of those people never bothered Tian Lee.

For him they were nothing but ant. He never gave a second thought about them, but Yoshi was different, she takes the abuses if it’s on her, but when they try to mock Tian, she bursts like a volcano.

“Sit down Yoshi!” Tian Lee said as he smiled. Hearing it Yoshi sat beside him. “Did you ate?” Tian Lee asked her. Yoshi nodded in response. “Don’t lie!” Tian Lee said as he stared in her eyes. “I- I… Will eat young master! You have to eat first” she said averting her gaze.

“Hmph! I know, come on eat with me, here say ahh” seeing this Yoshi blushed, but it was not the first time she was fed like this. Whenever she was sick, it was always Tian Lee who took care of her. She slowly opened her mouth as Tian Lee fed her the rice. “Don’t worry Yoshi! See i am alright! Why are you even worried”.

Hearing this Yoshi eyes swelled with tear. She was worried after seeing the actions of Tian Lee yesterday. She feared that her kind young master has turned into someone she never saw before. The aura around him was full of wrath. She thought her young master might take a wrong way, she has heard of stories when people get drunken by power, they do what they wish. They think that, what they doing are good.

Even though her young master carried out the revenge for the innocents, she worried what will happen if her young master walked down in the path.

After all the path to hell was paved with good intentions. Seeing her staring at him continuously, Tian Lee giggled. ” Don’t worry Yoshi! I don’t just kill people, i judge them!”.
