Celestial Overlord - Chapter 99 Annoying Bat!

“We have a new announcement here!” he said with a frown. But it came down as a royal order, thus he thought it was the Emperor decision.

After reading the scroll, even the Black Thunder sect’s Patriarch frowned. But he did not mind as it was a problem between clans. So he started announcing it.

“It has come to my attention that, Young master of Lee clan has moved against one of the Elder of Hon clan. Not only he publicly shamed him, even made serious injury to his manhood. Those who go against a royal faction’s family would have been executed by now. But as Lee family has offered a great military service, to our country. I order Tian Lee to publicly kneel and apologize to Old Hon for his action and have his arms severed – Queen Xiu Hon”

As the old Patriarch finished reading. The crowd went in uproar. “Hey! Is that mean when those old men were kicking each other was because of Lee clan Young master!” someone among the crowd yelled out.

“But isn’t he a mortal, how can he do such things to a cultivator?” another one questioned back. “May be he has some treasure, you know right, after all he is a young master of Lee clan!” he replied back.

“The Lee clan has been in the limelight recently, after the Crown Prince died in their clan, so the royal family is using this chance to show their authority” some of the imperial city people said. “Are you an idiot! Everyone now knows the Crown Prince was killed by the Supreme one” someone retorted back.

“Well whatever the reason, I pity the poor guy though! Being used as a scapegoat here” the crowd were going nuts hearing this announcement. This announcement was a indirect threat to all clan which were plotting against the royal faction. A showdown of authority, after all the Lee clan was one of the military based clan in Taing country.

People in the crowd were guessing and speaking out their thought. But nobody really knew about the second queen intention. The second queen was known for her ferociousness and arrogance. There was three faction among the royal family.

The Crown Prince, the Second Prince and the third Princess. Each one of them were fighting for the seat of the next Emperor. But after the death of Crown Prince, it was the second Prince and third Princess chance to shine.

Just when she was searching for a chance to show off her factions strength to gain more people under her daughter. She found the incident of her uncle. “The young master of such a military lineage clan, if he begs and have his arms severed in front of uncle Hon, not only the Nobles even the other clans will think before joining the second Prince faction ; my dream as Empress will soon bloom!” she was overjoyed.

“The Lee clan won’t be stupid enough to fight back for a single mortal, after all even they are weaken now, Blame your fate for this brat! You will be one of the pawn in my game” she grinned thinking about it as she looked towards Tian Lee. The fear and shock, she expected to see on his face were not present. Instead a tranquil expression was there.

“Young man! Aren’t you being too much spoiled! To think you would do something this cruel to a senior! Aren’t you scared !” the Old Patriarch of Black Thunder sect said, looking at the mortal young man.

Seeing there was no reaction from him. Even the Old Patriarch was angered, “Even if he is a young master of the Lee clan, he was nothing but a puny ant before him!” he thought.

“Scared! What scared? When corrupted people are so free and brazen doing the evil deeds; why would I be scared of giving justice!” hearing Tian Lee reply the crowd was stunned.

“Such a arrogant tone! You puny mortal! Do you have death wish or do you think, you are the Supreme being!” the second queen shouted from the stage in a cold voice. Her anger was already over her head. Now, she wants to kill that mortal brat, no matter what.

Just as the tension was increasing. A evil laugh sounded followed by a cruel voice, “kekeke! You humans seems to be having fun without knowing the upcoming disaster!” a folk of bats started spreading through out the arena. And among them a pale white humanoid demon appeared in the fighting stage.

The unexpected turn of event flabbergasted everyone. The Old Patriarch of Black Thunder sect was getting ready to attack the demon. Seeing him Jiangshi laughed. “Kekeke! You can’t attack me! After all I am just a messenger here! The Evil clan Elder has asked the human race to hand over the former Princess of the Demon Kingdom! If you do so he will grant you a painless death! Or else” he paused and made a evil grin.

Hearing this the crowd were going crazy. After all this was the first time, a demon was threatening so brazenly in front of their Emperor. Hearing the Evil clan name, even the Old Patriarch was surprised, they were someone from the above realm.

When he saw the the Emperor and the other two Patriarch. They all looked as if their soul left their body. Each had a pale face, trembling all over.

He expected this after hearing the Evil clan name. But what shocked him was, they were looking at the mortal young master of Lee clan.

“Kitty! Kill that annoying bat!” Tian Lee ordered, as a middle aged man stood. He jumped from the Lee clan place in the arena to the fighting stage. Looking at Jiangshi with a look of pity.
