Transcending the Nine Heavens

Within the Oath Management Bureau of Eastern Sovereign Heaven, the enigmatic high-ranking official of the bureau was currently having tea with the Prime Minister, whose presence had been secured after much effort.

The official had prepared numerous questions to ask and was determined to extract some valuable information from the Prime Minister today. These past few days had felt like walking on thin ice, leaving him confused and at a loss, which was incredibly uncomfortable.

“Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I say, could you give my little brother just a hint? Just a little…” the official said with a fawning smile, flattering the Prime Minister as he personally poured the tea.

“It’s not that I can’t, but I really can’t…” the Prime Minister calmly sipped his tea.

“Ah, Your Excellency…” The official intended to press further, but suddenly, he felt a tremendous shock throughout his entire body, leaving him dazed and motionless.

“Hey?” The Prime Minister was taken aback. “What’s wrong with you?”

The official sat there dumbly, his face pale as if he were scarcely alive. This sudden change was too abrupt, with no warning whatsoever. However, even greater turmoil was yet to come; the next moment, blood gushed from his seven orifices, and with a “wah,” he spat out a mouthful of blood, filling the room with a mist of crimson, before collapsing backward, scarcely making a sound.

The Prime Minister was startled: “Ah? What happened?”

Could it be that this guy was trying to threaten me with his life? He thought to himself that if he didn’t tell him the truth, he would commit suicide?! This... this... this is not forcing me!

Damn it, I’ve never seen anyone handle matters like this.

You say you’re the official of the Oath Management Bureau and a prominent master of Eastern Sovereign Heaven, how can you use such despicable means... is it worth it? Hurting others and yourself, what kind of situation is this?

At that moment, the Prime Minister’s heart was in turmoil.

So, after much effort, he finally managed to revive the official. Before he could say anything, he saw the official staring blankly at him, uttering a shocking line that sent chills down the Prime Minister’s spine: “Your Excellency, please quickly investigate whether the Holy Sovereign and Heavenly Demon Emperor have arrived in Eastern Sovereign Heaven, and whether a decisive battle oath has been established. This matter is of utmost importance and must not be delayed. If delayed, I fear it will lead to grave consequences…”

Upon hearing this information, the Prime Minister felt a buzzing sound in his head, and for a moment, he almost felt dizzy…

He immediately sprang into action.

Gone was his earlier frail demeanor; he vanished in a flash.

If it really is those two, one fight could nearly destroy half of Eastern Sovereign Heaven! And it’s only those two who could make this official so flustered…

The official gasped heavily, his face showing signs of lingering fear.

If it weren’t for I having the protection of Eastern Emperor your majesty's royal aura, wouldn’t this have been…

Damn it, who the hell has come to Eastern Sovereign Heaven to make trouble? I’m scared to death.

Is this meant to kill me?

Just the power of the oath nearly overwhelmed me…

I... I... I am a celestial level being, one of the notable high-ranking figures even in the entire Nine Heavens Pavilion…

After a long while, the Prime Minister returned with a gloomy face.

The official impatiently asked, “Your Excellency, which powerful beings have come to our territory? Is a cross-border war about to occur? Please, don’t let me guess wildly!”

The Prime Minister’s face was almost twisted in anger: “Bah! Nonsense about a cross-border war, powerful beings my ass! Nothing has happened at all! You old rascal, you’re just trying to make me suffer, and I will not let this go!”

How could he not be furious?

Earlier, the Prime Minister had believed half of what the official said due to his anxious tone, but he did not dare to slack off, quickly inquiring about the whereabouts of the Holy Sovereign, Heavenly Demon Emperor, and a few other rulers, just in case the official’s assessment was correct. However, the answers he received were all the same: the officials were in the palace! They hadn’t gone out.
