Chapter 1097: Chapter 491: Adding Another Red Innate Energy Luck, Explosive Increase in Strength!_3 Chapter 1097: Chapter 491: Adding Another Red Innate Energy Luck, Explosive Increase in Strength!_3 By the time he reached the end of that sentence, his expression was full of amazement.

Then he muttered to himself, “No wonder my junior brother is preparing to become a Saint! However, how can my junior brother even bring about the Saint’s Tribulation to ascend to sainthood? I have no idea.”

“The common heavenly tribulations haven’t appeared in the world for a million years, let alone the Saint’s Tribulation!”

“I wonder if it’s true or false!”

“Considering the uniqueness of my junior brother, it should not be false!”

“When the time comes, I must go and observe, while also escorting and protecting my junior brother!”

…

Central State.

Inside the Imperial Palace study.

“Becoming a Saint after passing the Saint’s Tribulation in seven days! My Emperor, what do you think Jiang Yuan means by this?”

In front of the desk, a firm-faced, burly man holding the message in his hand was full of confusion.

Ji Hao laughed heartily, “My great general, what else could it mean! Jiang Yuan is about to become a Saint!”

“But!” The firm-faced, burly man spoke, “Why would Jiang Yuan announce this widely?”

“Does he not know this will attract the attention of the Demon Tribe, and even the Southern Ridge Demon Emperor, that Golden-winged Dapeng Bird, might obstruct his ascension?”

Ji Hao said, “Jiang Yuan has reached this point; he is certainly no fool! He must have foreseen this outcome long ago!”

“But now he has decided to announce it to the world, perhaps the interference of the Demon Tribe is exactly what he wants?”

The burly man said, “If it is as my Emperor suggests, is Jiang Yuan trying to lure the snake out of its hole?”

Ji Hao smiled, “Who knows! I’m not him! If you want to know his intentions, you will find out when you observe the event!”

“Is my Emperor planning to leave the Eastern Region?” The man’s expression turned solemn.

Ji Hao smiled nonchalantly, “Having been cooped up in Central State for so many years, it’s time to take a walk and step out of this cage!!”

Upon hearing the confidence in Ji Hao’s voice, the firm-faced, burly man instantly turned to astonishment.

“My Emperor, have you taken that step?”

Ji Hao smiled without saying a word and did not elaborate further.

At that moment, he burst into laughter again.

“My precious princess has come to find me!”

“Shall I leave for now?” the burly man asked.

“There’s no need for now!” replied Ji Hao.

The next moment.

Squeak–
The door to the study was instantly pushed open.

“Father Emperor, I’ve come to see you!” Ji Yueyue hopped over the threshold, full of youthful vivaciousness.

“Ah! Uncle Xiong is here too!”

When Ji Yueyue saw the burly man in front of the desk, she exclaimed in surprise and then quickly moderated her demeanor.

“I’ve seen the little princess!” The burly man made a respectful nod as a gesture of respect.

Ji Yueyue hastily waved her hand, “Uncle Xiong is too formal! It’s I who should be paying respects to Uncle Xiong!”

Hearing this, Ji Hao immediately burst into laughter.

“My precious princess really has grown up if she can talk like this now!”

“Father Emperor! You’re so mean!” Ji Yueyue protested sweetly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Hao’s laughter only grew louder instead of subsiding.

Seeing Ji Yueyue stamping her feet repeatedly, Ji Hao finally curbed his laughter.

“Alright! I won’t laugh anymore!”

After Ji Hao stopped laughing, he continued, “So, my precious daughter, is there something you need from me at this very moment?”

Ji Yueyue said, “It’s about Jiang Yuan!”

“Jiang Yuan?” The burly man at the side immediately spoke out, his face showing surprise.

“My precious daughter, continue,” said Ji Hao calmly.

Ji Yueyue said, “Jiang Yuan is currently at the gates of the Imperial City, wanting to pay his respects to Father Emperor!”

Upon hearing Ji Yueyue’s words, Ji Hao’s face showed a look of astonishment.

“Jiang Yuan is at the gates of the Imperial City now?”

Ji Yueyue nodded repeatedly, “Yes, Father Emperor!”

Hearing this, Ji Hao’s eyes suddenly narrowed, a hint of a smile on his face.

“Since he has come, we definitely should meet!”

Ji Yueyue, excited by the response, “Father Emperor, then I’ll go to the gates of the Imperial City to invite Jiang Yuan over.”

“No need!” Ji Hao shook his head, then continued, “I shall go myself. I would like to see why Jiang Yuan has dared to make such a sensational move!”

…

Meanwhile.

At the gates of the Imperial Palace.

The air was filled with swirling golden light, and Jiang Yuan instantly saw a mass of golden light gathering in the sky in front of the gates of the Imperial City.

At that moment, such a phenomenon immediately drew the attention of the Imperial Guards on duty at the location.

Their gazes swept over, filled with vigilance.

The next moment, the golden light coalesced into a figure.

Ji Hao, with a dignified face and an air of nobility, stepped out from the midst of the golden light.

“Greetings to the Human Emperor!”

Amongst the guards, the one leading immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted upon seeing Ji Hao’s face.

“Greetings to the Human Emperor!”

“Greetings to the Human Emperor!”

“Greetings to the Human Emperor!”

“…”

Seeing this, the rest of the guards quickly reacted and knelt down in unison.

Clangs from their metal armors echoed around them.

“Rise,” Ji Hao said indifferently.

Then he turned his gaze to Jiang Yuan, his eyes warm and friendly.

“Jiang Yuan my friend, it has been a long time!”

Jiang Yuan smiled and bowed, “This junior has seen the Human Emperor!”

Ji Hao smiled, “If we go by the rules, the next seat of the Human Emperor is yours to take!”

At these words, the guards at the gates of the Imperial City instantly looked up, their faces shocked as they turned to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan bowed, “The Human Emperor jests!”

“I am not joking!” Ji Hao said.

He then shook his head, “Never mind, this is not the place to discuss this! Follow me first!”
