This low question immediately shocked Jiulong and Xi Yan on the spot!
"Emperor!?"
The two looked horrified, their previous arrogance immediately disappeared, replaced by deep awe.
"Why are you here?"
Jiulong's face turned pale.
What did he say to the emperor just now!
No wonder he felt something was wrong when he saw this figure from behind.
This back, this aura... He didn't even recognize it!
In fact, Jiulong cannot be blamed for this.
Over the years, he has seen the emperor only a handful of times.
On the one hand, the emperor does not show up most of the time. On the other hand, based on his and Xi Yan's seniority rankings, they are usually far away from him.
It can't be called familiar, let alone - they never imagined that the emperor would appear here!
Rong Xiu raised his eyes slightly.
From a very far distance, three figures could be vaguely seen.
It was Chu Liuyue and the other three.
Their strength is not as strong as Jiulong and Xi Yan, the two revered gods. In addition, Qi Han and Lu Feng are still in the realm of gods and are injured, so their speed is even more restricted.
So much so that in such a short period of time, the two sides actually opened such a huge distance.
But this also happened to be convenient for Rong Xiu.
This little time was enough for him to solve the problem between these two people.
Thinking of this, Rong Xiu withdrew his gaze and looked at the two of them again.
Feeling that indifferent and cold gaze falling on them, both Jiulong felt deeply pressured and their whole bodies were tense.
"Didn't you already guess why this palace is here?"
He said quietly.
The two of them were stunned for a while before they suddenly realized what they were saying, and they were shocked.
Wait, what does the emperor mean by this
He really came here with Chu Liuyue!
But with Chu Liuyue's background, when did she have contact with the emperor?
And it seems that the relationship between them is quite unusual.
Otherwise, when Chu Liuyue mentioned the emperor just now, her posture and tone would not be like that.
Xi Yan suddenly thought of something and took a breath:
"Emperor, is Shangguan Yue one of yours?"
He asked this because he was guessing that Chu Liuyue was Rong Xiu's subordinate, not anything else.
However, Rong Xiu didn't bother to correct him and only raised his eyebrows lightly.
There is nothing wrong with his words.
It's his.
His reaction, in the eyes of the two people opposite him, was obviously acquiescence.
For a moment, both of them didn't know how to react.
Why didn't Chu Liuyue say anything about such an important matter before?
As long as she reveals even a little bit, she will definitely not be treated like that in the Huanshen Palace!
Jiulong and Xi Yan couldn't figure it out.
The only thing they knew clearly was that they had offended Chu Liuyue before, and this undoubtedly meant that they had also offended the emperor!
"Your Majesty, I am too blind to see Mount Tai, so I offended you for a moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Jiulong came to his senses and quickly begged for mercy.
Apart from begging for mercy, he couldn't think of anything else to do now.
He had rushed over excitedly before, intending to find the last piece of music score before Chu Liuyue. Even if she couldn't be found, it would still be a good idea to deal with the person who conspired with her first.
Who knew I would bump into this guy!
Isn’t this asking for death?
When Xi Yan saw this, he immediately followed suit, feeling very uneasy.
Although they had met the emperor very few times, they knew very well that the emperor's temperament was not easy to mess with.
The mistake they made today was enough to give them a good drink.
Rong Xiu said nothing.
The surroundings fell into dead silence, as if even the air was frozen at this moment.
The two of them held their breath, and their hearts felt like they were about to jump out of their throats.
Finally, Rong Xiu spoke:
"Go to the Sea of Illusions and accept the punishment yourself. You are not allowed to come out without the permission of this palace!"
Hearing this, Jiulong and both of them were stunned.
"What does the emperor mean? Now?"
Rong Xiu's eyes moved slightly, and his thin crimson lips raised a very light and cold arc:
"If you can continue to stay here, it will be considered as your ability."
The two of them shuddered at the same time!
This means that if they don't leave immediately, the emperor will take action himself!
Even if the two of them were brave enough, they wouldn't dare to take such a risk - wouldn't this be a direct collision with the knife?
But
"Emperor, it's not that we and I deliberately disobeyed your order. It's just that this time, we came here under the order of the first divine envoy to find the last piece of music score. If we can't complete the task, I'm afraid it won't be good after we go back. Explain to the first divine envoy "
Jiulong gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty.
As long as they have some way, they will not choose to go against the emperor.
But in this situation now, they really can't help themselves.
After all, all the divine envoys came from the Illusion Temple, and they dare not disobey the orders given by the first divine envoy.
Although the emperor has a noble status, in most cases, he will not interfere with the affairs of the Illusion Temple.
And the music score is also a thing of the Fantasy Temple, so it stands to reason that this matter has nothing to do with the emperor.
Why did he come here in person
Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why, the order of this palace is no longer worth the words of the first divine envoy?"
"Don't dare!"
Jiulong and Xi Yan almost lost their minds and hurriedly denied it.
Don't mention them, even the masters of the Illusion Temple must be respectful when meeting the emperor. How dare they say that
After weighing the matter, the two struggled for a while and finally nodded with difficulty.
".I will obey the emperor's order! However, the last piece of music score—"
Rong Xiufeng narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The musical score comes from the Temple of Illusion, and it will eventually return to its original place."
Hearing this, Jiulong and the others just thought that he promised to send it back to the Illusion Temple after finding the last piece of music score, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, they can give an explanation to the first divine envoy when they return.
"Then the two of us will retreat now."
After saying that, seeing that Rong Xiu's expression remained normal, the two of them bowed respectfully, then turned around and left in a hurry.
The speed was actually faster than when he came here. He was afraid that if he took a step too late, his life would depend on it.
After a while, the two figures quickly disappeared into the distance.
At this time, Chu Liuyue and the others finally arrived.
Seeing that Rong Xiu was the only one here, Chu Liuyue was stunned:
"What about the two divine envoys?"
