Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The Emperor Returns

Three days later, before the Imperial Palace gates. Xiao Tianci led one hundred thousand War God Legion, completely surrounding the palace. This scene shocked the entire Imperial Capital! One must know, the palace was the center of the empire, where the Emperor lived! Xiao Tianci daring to lead troops to surround the palace, was this rebellion?! The palace gates slowly opened, the Emperor walked out under the protection of numerous guards. His face was unpleasant, but facing Xiao Tiancis hundred thousand troops, he could only force himself to remain composed. "Xiao Tianci, what is the meaning of this?" The Emperor asked deeply. Xiao Tianci rode on horseback, looking down at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I came to demand justice." "What justice?" Xiao Tianci said word by word: "Back then, the late Emperor believed slander and executed the entire Xiao family in cold blood. This debt, I have not settled yet! Now, I want to demand justice!" The Emperor face changed greatly: "Xiao Tianci, are you rebelling?!" Xiao Tianci laughed loudly: "Rebelling? Your Majesty truly knows how to joke. Back then the late Emperor wronged loyal ministers, does that not call for redress? My Xiao family was full of loyalists, yet was labeled with the crime of treason - is this fair?!" He dismounted, walking toward the Emperor step by step: "Your Majesty, I give you two choices. First, hand over the remaining Four Great Families people for me to deal with. Second, I go in personally to catch them." The Emperor face was livid, but facing Xiao Tiancis might, he did not dare act recklessly. Just then, a voice came from within the palace: "Your Majesty, let me meet this Xiao family successor!" A white-haired old man flew out from within the palace, emitting a terrifying aura. "It is the Royal Dark Guard leader!" someone exclaimed. The white-haired old man was precisely the Royal Dark Guard leader, whose martial arts cultivation had reached War God Realm ninth level! "Young man, you are very arrogant." The white-haired old man sneered, "But before this old man, you are not qualified!" Xiao Tianci said calmly: "Is that so? Then let us try." The two struck simultaneously, a loud explosion rang out in the sky! Xiao Tianci, relying on the mysteries of the War God Scripture and the power of the War God Sacred Body, was actually evenly matched with the white-haired old man! This battle shocked the entire empire! Everyone learned that - Xiao Tianci, this once-mocked waste, had now become the most powerful existence in the empire! In the end, the white-haired old man still could not defeat Xiao Tianci, knocked falling to the ground. Xiao Tianci stood before the palace gates, looking down at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, your choice is?"
