Dressed as the last nine-tailed fox

Chapter 342 The Wife You Killed
The palace in front of us is rich and magnificent, and the plaque hanging on it stands tall and majestic, demonstrating the extraordinary status of the palace owner everywhere.

When Pei Enze arrived, the door of the palace was closed. Over the past few hundred years, he had lost count of how many times he had entered this palace. The only thing he remembered clearly was the fear and resentment in his heart every time he stepped into this palace.

"Your Highness." The celestial soldier guarding the palace gate saluted Pei Enze politely, but his tone was as cold as a machine, "The Lord of Heaven has ordered that no one will be seen today."

"I have something important to report to my father."

Seeing that the heavenly soldiers had no intention of helping him to pass the message to Pei Yan, Pei Enze frowned and said in a cold voice: "If we delay the opportunity and our father blames us, will you bear the consequences? Can you afford it?"

Hearing this, the heavenly soldiers on both sides of the gate looked at each other, and one of them asked, "I wonder if Your Highness the Crown Prince has any questions..." After meeting Pei Enze's sharp eyes, the heavenly soldier quickly lowered his head and changed his words, "Please wait a moment, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I will go and ask the Heavenly Sovereign for instructions."

The tightly closed door opened a crack, and after the heavenly soldier stepped in sideways, the door quickly closed again.

The remaining heavenly soldiers outside the door would steal a glance at Pei Enze from time to time, their hearts beating fast. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they felt every second was like a year.

Finally, the palace gate opened a crack, and the heavenly soldier who had just entered appeared from the crack. He nodded slightly to the heavenly soldiers guarding outside the gate. After receiving the signal, the heavenly soldiers quickly opened the palace gate together.

"Your Highness, the Emperor invites you in."

Pei Enze's figure disappeared behind the palace gate, and the guarding heavenly soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter that makes you so anxious? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been gentle and polite. This is the first time I see him look like that." After saying this, the heavenly soldier couldn't help but shudder.

"This is the first time I've seen His Royal Highness be so aggressive."

Seeing that the soldiers were about to start talking, a calmer soldier said, "Shut up! Do you think people like you and me can discuss the Crown Prince? Watch out for your heads."

……

Although the palace was magnificent, there was no immortal servant serving. In the huge palace, Pei Yan was the only one. He sat in the main seat with his eyes closed and his hands clasped, meditating with no emotion on his face.

Pei Enze walked at a leisurely pace, and stopped when he was about to go up the stairs. He did not salute as usual, but looked up and called to Pei Yan above him: "Father."

"Yeah." Pei Yan still closed his eyes, but his tone was reproachful, "Ze'er, what's the matter that's so urgent that you want to disturb me during my retreat?"

"It is...Fuxing City."

Hearing the words "Fuxing City", Pei Yan above immediately opened his eyes, frowned and asked: "How do you know Fuxing City?"

"It was Yi Changle from the Nine-tailed Fox Clan." Pei Enze paused, and continued according to the previously agreed explanation: "She discovered the existence of Fuxing City and the gold mine hidden underground in Fuxing City, and went to the Heavenly Clan to ask for an explanation."

"Did she only talk about Fuxing City and the gold mine?" Pei Yan asked, "Besides that? Did she mention anything else?"

Pei Enze shook his head. "No, she just said that she discovered a city called Fuxing City, and there were countless gold mines under the city. She thought it was a hidden town, but she didn't expect that the owner behind it was the Celestial Clan."

"It is said in the Three Realms that the divine beasts are indifferent to fame and fortune, especially the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. But now it seems that they are just like that." Pei Yan sneered after getting the answer. "They knew about the existence of Fuxing City, but did not announce it to the Three Realms. Instead, they chose to sneak into the Heavenly Clan to ask for an 'explanation'. What they want is - just to get a piece of the pie."

Pei Yan's derogatory words made Pei Enze clench his fists. "By the way, Father, Yi Changle has something else for me to tell you. She said that if she can't get a satisfactory answer, she will do as you wish and make your name resound throughout the three realms."

"Who does she think she is? How dare she threaten me?" Pei Yan did not hide his anger at all, with a dangerous aura surging from his body.

"..." After a moment of silence, Pei Enze spoke again and asked Pei Yan: "Father, what exactly is in the Fuxing City you mentioned? Why are there so many gold mines buried under it? Since it belongs to the Celestial Clan, why have I never heard of the name of Fuxing City?"

"You really don't know anything?" Pei Yan asked suspiciously, "Did Yi Changle tell you nothing about the things in Fuxing City?"

"Father." Pei Enze's tone was filled with impatience. "You know I took the initiative to cancel the engagement with Yi Changle, causing her to lose face in the Three Realms. She has always been irritated with me, so how could she be so kind as to tell me about Fuxing City?"

"Really?" Pei Yan's eyes fell on Pei Enze, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through Pei Enze. After a moment, Pei Yan retracted his gaze, "When you sit in my position, you will naturally know about Fuxing City."

"But……"

"Now is not the time for you to know." Pei Yan stopped Pei Enze from asking further questions and reminded him in a deep voice: "Ze'er, don't forget what I said. Between you and me, in the eyes of the world, one of us must be white."

Hearing this, Pei Enze's eyes gradually became complicated. Even though the matter of Fuxing City was about to be exposed, Pei Yan still refused to tell him the truth. In this way, even if everything was exposed, Pei Yan could take all the blame on him and make himself clean forever. Thinking of this level, Pei Enze couldn't help but be moved, "Father..." "Hmm?"

Pei Enze shook his head slightly, suppressed his inner emotions, and asked Pei Yan: "How should I answer Yi Changle?"

"Why is it always her..." Pei Yan took a deep breath, loosened his clasped hands, and clenched them into fists. It was obvious that Pei Yan seemed to have used a lot of effort to suppress his anger. "Tell her to give me two more days. After two days, I will personally give her a satisfactory answer."

"But Yi Changle asked for an answer today." Pei Enze looked at Pei Yan's expression and added cautiously, "Her attitude is firm. Given her temperament and ability, if she doesn't get a reply today, within three days, the place of Fuxing City will...will be known to all the creatures in the three realms. By then, those gold mines will be targeted by people with ulterior motives..."

"Pah." Pei Yan slapped the armrest of the chair with such force that the armrest had some visible cracks. "She has ruined my plans time and again. I should have killed her right away!"

"What about now?" Pei Enze's gaze gradually moved down from Pei Yan's face, and there was even some expectation in his eyes.

Pei Enze's reaction made Pei Yan very satisfied. After all, ruthlessness was a necessary quality to get to the center of power. However, the direction of Pei Enze's gaze made Pei Yan feel an indescribable weirdness.

Pei Yan moved his hips back nervously and said regretfully, "It's not the right time yet. Keeping Yi Changle naturally has its purpose." "What purpose?"

Pei Yan gave Pei Enze a strange look and said, "Ze'er, you seem to have a lot of questions today."

"I just think that it's better to deal with Yi Changle as soon as possible. After all, she knows the secret of the Celestial Clan." Pei Enze responded calmly, "In this world, only the dead can keep secrets."

"That's right." Pei Yan nodded thoughtfully. "Although Yi Changle's life cannot be changed, I can go and meet her in person. Since she wants to share a piece of Fuxing City, she must show her sincerity. Our Tian Clan is not easy to mess with."

"Is Yi Changle still in the Celestial Clan?"

Pei Enze's face lit up, "I'm waiting for a reply in my palace."

"Let's go." Pei Yan slowly stood up and walked down the stairs step by step.

When Pei Yan reached the last step, Pei Enze quickly stepped forward and reached out to support Pei Yan.

Pei Yan refused Pei Enze's help and said with a smile: "Although I will be a little weaker than usual during my retreat, I am not to the point where I can't get out."

Hearing this, Pei Enze retracted his outstretched hand and took a step back.

Pei Yan walked towards the hall, while Pei Enze walked a step slower than Pei Yan and followed behind him politely. As his sleeves swayed as he walked, a pitch-black dagger was faintly visible at the cuffs.

The change happened at this moment. Pei Enze raised his head slightly and inserted the dagger in his sleeve into Pei Yan's back in a smooth movement.

At the same time, the azure sky outside the house seemed to be suddenly covered with a layer of gray, the wind began to howl, and there were bursts of sharp whimpering in the air, as if the heaven and earth were wailing for the situation of the murder between father and son.

Pei Yan reacted quickly and noticed the moment Pei Enze raised Kaitian, so even though Pei Enze used all his strength, Kaitian only barely penetrated Pei Yan's flesh and blood and did not hit the vital points.

Pei Yan pushed Pei Enze away with one palm, and Pei Enze fell from a height like a rag doll, and Kaitian followed closely behind.

Pei Yan covered the wound on his back with his hands behind his back. He felt hurt when he felt the dampness on his hands. He asked Pei Enze in disbelief: "You want to kill me? You actually want to kill me?"

Pei Enze calmly spat out a mouthful of blood and asked calmly, "Why don't I want to kill you? As the Heavenly Monarch of the Celestial Clan, you disregard the people of the Celestial Clan and only want to dominate the Three Realms. Fuxing City and the Azure Dragon Clan are all your doings. Have you ever thought about how the Celestial Clan will deal with these bad things you have done if they are exposed?"

Pei Enze sneered and said yin-yangly: "By then, even if the Celestial Clan becomes a street rat, it will still be good."

"No, I have always left a way out for the Celestial Clan." Pei Yan spoke with full confidence, and there seemed to be light in his eyes when he looked at Pei Enze, "You are the way out I left for the Celestial Clan."

"Whether it's the Qinglong Clan or Fuxing City, as long as it involves blood, I have never let you interfere. No matter what I have done, you, Ze'er, have always been clean. As long as you are here, no matter what happens, the Tian Clan will have hope and will never fall to the point where everyone wants to kill them."

"This is just an excuse for you to wantonly slaughter other creatures!" Pei Enze looked at Pei Yan in disappointment. "At this point, you still refuse to wake up. Do you really think that with a wicked and extremely evil Heavenly Monarch like you, the Heavenly Clan can still survive in the Three Realms? Won't the people of those creatures you killed avenge them?"

"And my mother." Pei Enze's eyes were dark. There seemed to be grievance, resentment, and ridicule in them...all kinds of complicated emotions intertwined. "Do you still remember my mother? The one you killed with your own hands, your wife."

"So you want to avenge your mother today - kill me." Pei Yan's eyes were so fierce that he seemed to want to eat Pei Enze alive, "But don't forget, I am your father!"

"It's because you are my father that I want to stop you..." The moment the words fell, Kaitian turned from a dagger into a sword. Pei Enze used Kaitian to support himself and stood up, "Don't make the same mistake again!"

Pei Enze waved Kaitian and stabbed at Pei Yan.

"Heh." Pei Yan chuckled, "You really... don't know your own limitations." Pei Yan didn't even take out his weapon. He just used his palm to greet Pei Enze. With a light palm, Pei Enze was knocked to the ground again.

However, Kaitian still managed to cut Pei Yan's palm with great force. Although he was falling, Kaitian was still secretly proud in his heart, as the cut was entirely due to his own ability.

“Divine weapon?” Pei Yan was a little surprised by the stinging pain in his palm. He moved his gaze to Kaitian and saw that Kaitian was completely black and smooth without a single pattern. He asked in confusion, “It’s a divine weapon after all, why is it so ugly?”

"Buzz buzz buzz." Kaitian kept vibrating and making a buzzing sound to express his dissatisfaction.

Pei Yan stared at Kai Tian for a while, as if he wanted to find some traces of identity from Kai Tian, ​​but Kai Tian was just black, pitch black. However, it was not difficult for Pei Yan to guess the origin of the sword. "I guess this sword was given to you by Yi Changle?"

Pei Enze didn't say anything, but kept wiping the blood that kept flowing out of the corners of his mouth.

"Yi Changle is Lan Xun's only disciple. Lan Xun must have left her many good things. I just didn't expect that she would help you. What good will this do for her... No, no." Pei Yan lowered his eyes, "I know everything about your whereabouts since you were born. You have no chance to be with Yi Changle..."

"It was during the time when you came down to earth to experience tribulations." Pei Yan quickly came to his senses. "I originally thought that you slowly took Siming as your confidant after you became a supreme god, but now it seems that you made arrangements earlier than I thought."

Pei Yan looked at Pei Enze with a little more heat in his eyes, as if an artist was looking at his most proud work, "Ze'er, when did you start wanting to kill me?"

"From the moment you killed my mother."

Pei Yan's eyes became even more fervent, and he said happily: "You are worthy of being my son, Pei Yan!"

"When your mother died, you were only three hundred years old. You were able to endure humiliation for so many years just to kill your father!" Pei Yan's joy was beyond words. "Zer, you are even more cruel than I thought!"
