Chapter 33 33: Even If You Want To Die;
Qin Ye didn't stay with the Eternal Emperor all day. In the morning, he had some discussions with the Emperor, as if he was seriously there to get some agreement on trade and cooperation between the two Empires.
Meanwhile, in the afternoon, he went into the city like a proper guest who just wanted to see the culture of the Dynasty.
The Eternal Emperor sent some people to escort Qin Ye and to make sure that no one disrespected their guests. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that the people he sent with Qin Ye couldn't keep up with him at all.
If he wanted, Qin Ye could lose the people easily. However, he didn't do it. Instead, he carefully maintained his speed to make sure that the people sent by the Emperor could see him all the time. He was supposed to be an innocent spectator after all.
He walked through the City, entering multiple shops along the way and even doing some light shopping. For the most part, he looked like a perfect guest. He was kind, and there was not a single trace of arrogance in him despite holding such a high position.
What was even more surprising were the guards of Qin Ye. They were elite guards who weren't walking with him but were following him in the silence without revealing themselves. His guards were so well trained that even some warriors of the Eternal Dynasty were slightly impressed.
In fact, some even felt that Qin Ye's guards were similar to assassins who were hard to spot.
"They should be here soon." Along the way, Qin Ye kept looking around.
He had no destination in his mind. He was just randomly roaming the streets, waiting for the right opportunity when the guests were going to arrive in the city. It was soon going to be the time for chaos... Something which he could enjoy!
After roaming the streets for nearly three hours, he suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, frowning. He could sense some powerful presence coming from the distance!
The aura of those people was different from the aura of the Dynasty Warriors. They were clearly not from the Dynasty.
It might have been hard for even Qin Ye to guess their identity. However, since he was the one who planned it all, he knew everything! The ones who were coming this time were the Elders of the Celestial Palace!
Instead of sending a stronger disciple, the Celestial Palace directly sent some Elders to deal with the matter, which showed just how important Yu Fei was to them. In fact, Qin Ye wouldn't have been surprised even if the Master of the Celestial Palace had personally come here!
"The Celestial Palace must've given these Elders the authority to investigate. Since it's just an investigation, the Palace Master didn't come right away. However, I'm sure he must've given these Elders something that could help them contact him in case of emergency!"
" I'll make sure to drag him into this mess. How else would it become fun!"
There was an amused smirk spread across Qin Ye's face. Everything was according to plan!
He quickly wiped that smirk off his face before turning around, looking at Eternal Dynasty soldiers. "Do you also sense these auras? It looks like there are more guests. I'll go ahead and check!"
Qin Ye disappeared from the middle of the streets, going in the direction of the Third Prince's Palace, where these auras were coming from. Since he was a spectator, of course, he had to be there. How else could he act righteous and fan the flames?!

Xu Shan finished absorbing another person's Celestial Spirit. Just as he had expected, it was getting harder and harder for Qin Ye to find people with five-star or higher grade celestial Spirits that could be brought here without being noticed.
In fact, it was just the second time Zi Huang had succeeded, and even then, he was almost caught!
Thanks to the second person, Xu Shan's Celestial Aura became even denser. He jumped straight from the Seventh Grade Celestial Warrior to Third Grade Celestial General!
Now he and the Saintess of the Celestial Palace were in the same realm. While he was a Third Grade Celestial General, Yu Fei was a peak ninth-grade Celestial General, just one step away from becoming an Earth Celestial.
After absorbing the Celestial Spirit completely, Xu Shan left the room.
"Deal with the mess inside the room." He told his guards without much emotion on his face. However, just as he finished, he sensed something.
In fact, not just him; almost everyone in the vicinity sensed it! A heavy pressure descended from the sky as if a mountain was pushing down on everyone's shoulders!
Even Zi Huang felt somewhat taken aback! These auras... Whoever it was, they were too powerful! However, for these people to act so brazenly in this place, he wondered if these people didn't fear death!
No matter how strong they were, unless they were someone like the Palace Master of the Celestial Palace, they shouldn't have dared to be so arrogant, especially toward the favorite son of the Emperor!
"Your Highness, please stay inside. I'll check outside!" Zi Huang carefully told the Third Prince, worried that the young prince was going to ignore his caution once again and arrogantly walk out of the Palace in anger.
"No need to worry. I will accompany you."
Xu Shan already expected these people to come here. In fact, he already knew that they were going to act so arrogantly. He was waiting for them.
No matter how arrogant, they weren't going to attack him directly! Even if the Celestial Palace Master were here, he would've acted cautiously because of his father.
"It's finally time for checkmate..." With his hands behind his back, Xu Shan walked out of his palace, looking at the sky.
In the sky, there were five people standing! All five had a suffocating aura that made ordinary people feel like they could die just by looking at them! In fact, in the sky, these people looked like gods.
Unfortunately for them, Xu Shan's expressions had no fluctuations. He wasn't affected by their auras in the least, thanks to his Celestial Spirit's protection.
"Your clothes... You are from the Celestial Palace?!" Zi Huang felt his blood turn cold as he finally saw who these people were! The Celestial Palace was already here, sooner than he could ever have expected!
He didn't even know how they found out about this place since the Saintess' aura was hidden entirely. Something didn't add up.
While the Elders of the Celestial Palace were standing in the air outside the Palace, the Saintess who was kidnapped and drugged was inside her room in the palace.
"Are you five tired of your lives? Even if you want to die, why come to the Eternal Dynasty for it?" Unlike Zi Huang, Xu Shan was as carefree as always.
