The Lord's Manor has been slaughtered! The Fourth Prince has been killed! The Emperor's words were like a bomb thrown into the Council Hall, leaving everyone stunned.
Each Lord's Manor in the cities represents the official authority of the Silver Moon Kingdom and symbolizes national power. The fact that it has been destroyed is an act of extreme treachery!
Since the founding of the Silver Moon Kingdom, such an event has never occurred! Not to mention that anyone who can become a lord possesses extraordinary strength; the Lord's Manor itself is heavily guarded, filled with experts.
Ordinary people cannot even approach the Lord's Manor, let alone threaten the safety of the lord. Only masters of martial arts could possibly breach the manor, and even they would not easily attack such a place. While the Silver Moon Kingdom may not have the strength to suppress martial arts masters, it is backed by a powerful sect, the Silver Moon Sect.
Although the overall strength of the Silver Moon Sect may not match that of colossal super sects like the Demon Sect or Fuzong, it is still considered first-rate among sects. Within its ranks are super strong masters at the level of grandmasters, capable of intimidating any petty criminal. Even martial arts masters would think twice before provoking them.
Thus, there has never been a precedent for a city lord being assassinated in the Silver Moon Kingdom. Now, upon hearing such news, everyone in the Council Hall was momentarily shocked.
No wonder the Emperor was so furious; since the establishment of the Silver Moon Kingdom, such a heinous act had never occurred. Moreover, his most beloved Fourth Prince had also been killed!
Some cunning old foxes in the court thought more deeply about this. They understood that the Emperor's anger stemmed not just from his beloved son's death but also from how this would threaten his rule!
Although the Silver Moon Kingdom is ruled by royalty, it is fundamentally subordinate to the Silver Moon Sect! The current royal family governs only because of their connection to the sect leader.
The Silver Moon Sect holds an exceptional position and usually adopts a hands-off approach to governing its affiliated countries. They do not interfere excessively, even regarding succession to the throne.
The so-called competition for the throne among princes is merely a joke in the eyes of a powerful sect; who becomes emperor is not something they care about too much.
However, there is one prerequisite: regardless of who becomes emperor, they must ensure that no major chaos erupts in the country, especially guaranteeing stable cultivation resources for the Silver Moon Sect!
Otherwise, even if one becomes the emperor, it may not guarantee a stable position.
Just like now, although Qingyang City is located in a desolate area and is a small border town, it is adjacent to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and is an important source of herbs for the Silver Moon Kingdom. Every year, it is responsible for supplying more than twenty percent of the medicinal materials to the Silver Moon Sect. With the current turmoil, there will likely be significant issues with the supply.
If such a situation arises and the Silver Moon Sect becomes enraged, although the royal family may not face immediate danger, Emperor Qing is likely to be replaced. After all, in the eyes of the Silver Moon Sect, the emperor is merely a spokesperson.
"This is treason!" Emperor Qing declared firmly, his voice echoing throughout the council hall, shaking everyone's hearts.
In fact, those below had guessed correctly; he was indeed worried about his throne. The situation was even more serious because shortly after he received secret reports, the Silver Moon Sect had already sent someone to convey their message regarding this matter, which contained warnings.
This indicated that although he was a ruler of a nation, his grasp on information about this country was not as weak as he had imagined.
Luo Fu's face turned pale. He had originally thought that His Majesty's inquiry about Lufan was out of concern for talent. Therefore, his earlier words included praise for Lufan, but unexpectedly, this had backfired on him.
Fortunately, Emperor Qing did not seem to hold it against him and did not pursue his earlier comments, allowing Luo Fatty to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Is there really such a thing! This person is simply lawless! May I ask Your Majesty what the actual situation in Qingyang City is now?" Zhao Gong said angrily. As someone in power, he despised such disregard for rules.
"The situation is urgent; the information in the secret report is limited. All we know now is that Qingyang City has fallen into chaos. Loose Cultivators have already revolted and are no longer under control. That traitor named Lufan has committed such atrocities but has not left; instead, he brazenly resides in the academy with an extremely arrogant attitude!" The more Emperor Qing spoke, the angrier he became, nearly losing control of his emotions.
"How outrageous! I didn't expect there to be such a lawless person! Your Majesty, please allow me to personally lead men to Qingyang City to capture this traitor and bring him back for your judgment!" At this moment, a young man in golden armor stepped forward and bowed to request permission.
Everyone looked over and realized it was Li Qianyuan, the leader of the palace guards responsible for protecting the imperial palace!
He was just over twenty years old and had already reached the peak of Sixth Rank in martial arts cultivation. He was considered one of the most outstanding young talents in the capital and was regarded as one of the most promising individuals in the Silver Moon Kingdom to break through to Seventh Rank and achieve mastery.
When Li Qianyuan stepped forward to take command, the ministers all nodded in agreement, believing that with his involvement, it would be sufficient to capture the criminal.
However, Emperor Qing shook his head. "No, do you know what kind of combat power that rebel displayed during the battle? According to intelligence reports, the Lord of Qingyang City, Li Zheng, has already reached the Bone Resonance realm. Yet even so, he, along with the Crown Prince and Elders Chen and Liu, were still defeated and killed by that rebel. Do you still think we have a guaranteed chance of winning?"
"Bone Resonance! Four people attacking together were still killed! How is that possible? Is that rebel a core disciple of another sect?" Li Qianyuan exclaimed in shock.
Bone Resonance is a level he himself was still a bit short of achieving. Not to mention the Fourth Prince, but both Elder Chen and Elder Liu were seasoned Sixth Rank experts. To have a Bone Resonance expert killed by a mere youth was something he could only associate with the prodigious disciples of major sects.
"Regardless of whether he is just a lucky youth who stumbled upon an unknown inheritance or a disciple from some sect, he has crossed the line this time and must die! The reason I summoned you here is to mobilize your respective forces and do everything in your power to uncover this rebel's background while keeping track of his movements. He must not escape!
Rest assured, if it truly involves another sect, the Silver Moon Sect will handle it. But you must act swiftly and not be perfunctory!
Remember, this time we must make an example out of him to deter others. The incident in Qingyang City cannot be allowed to happen again. If we fail to eliminate this rebel smoothly, the consequences will be severe. In the future, loose cultivators may no longer regard the authority of our nation with respect, leading to chaos in Silver Moon Kingdom!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" everyone responded in unison.
"Then may I ask Your Majesty, since that rebel is so formidable, who can guarantee capturing him? Is the Silver Moon Sect going to send someone?" Li Qianyuan asked. At his level, he understood that someone like Lufan was beyond what ordinary strength could handle.
"No, this time we must strike with overwhelming force to eliminate this rebel. After the court session adjourns, I will personally go to the residence of Prince Yu and request his assistance!"
Prince Yu! Upon hearing this name, everyone displayed expressions of shock.
