Emperor’s Domination

l for help.
Who dared to pursue a member of Nine-wheel Citadel?

“Your Highness, my ancestral ground is on this island but someone is after it.
I couldn’t take them on so I fled but they still wouldn’t let go.” The man explained.

The crowd became startled after this.

“Such audacity? Are they courting death?” One youth said.

“Right, they’re messing with the wrong person.” Another expert added, wanting to please the princess.

“Who is it?” The princess’ eyes turned cold and flashed with aggression.

Others should be thanking their luck that her sect wasn’t actively expanding.
Who dared to take their territory? She wanted to make an example of these fools to show others the consequences of provoking Nine-wheel Citadel.

Two women then entered the restaurant.
One had a black veil and a stealth technique, making it impossible for anyone to see her true appearance.
The other wore a purple dress, looking slim and graceful.

“Us.” The latter responded to the princess.

“Pendant Sword Maiden!” Someone shouted her title.

The newcomers were none other than Xu Yiyun and Lu Qi.
They were surprised to see Li Qiye and walked over to bow.

“What a coincidence.” He smiled.

The patrons exchanged glances.
The sword maiden’s background wasn’t as impressive as Illusory Princess but she was still one of the Ten Sword Prodigies.
They also knew that she was working for Li Qiye.

“Miss Xu, why are you seizing our disciple’s ancestral land and pursuing him?” Illusory Princess had no intention of being courteous to someone working for Li Qiye.

“Your Highness.” Xu Yiyun responded: “Then you need to ask your disciple why he sold his land to our young noble but won’t actually hand it over once we come for it.
I had no choice but to take what belongs to us by force.”

The crowd had no idea who was telling the truth or not.

The middle-aged man shouted back: “Such lies! They came and took our land for no reason, now they’re trying to make up a story!”

Illusory Princess’ eyes narrowed: “Our members do not lack money.
Even if they do, they’ll ask the sect for it.
This must be a misunderstanding.”

She naturally trusted her sect member over Xu Yiyun and Li Qiye.
Plus, she was being logical as well.
Her sect had enough resources to take care of even external members and side branches.

“Words aren’t enough, you need proof!” Another youth helped the princess.

Yiyun calmly responded: “Your Highness, I have the receipt for the land deed right here.
His signature is on it.”

“She faked it!” The man bellowed.

“Let me take a look to know if it’s fake or not.
Every inch of land here has a rightful owner and a deed approved by me.” A gentle voice suddenly sounded.

An old man came into the restaurant.
Li Qiye had met him earlier at the base of the mountain.

“Tortoise Monarch!” Many got up and bowed towards him.

Though he lacked an oppressive aura, he was still the lord of this island.
Some believed that he was only second to Cloud Dream King in this region.
