"True Dragon Son of Heaven." That was a unique symbol. Only one person in the entire Starfall Dynasty could use these four words, and that was the current Emperor of the Starfall Dynasty.
* Plop *
"This commoner, Xing Jue, greets Your Majesty."
Xing Jue had already heard that the True Dragon Son of Heaven was the Emperor's unique symbol. With his intelligence, Xing Jue already understood everything in front of him.
This person must be Princess Xin Xin's father, the current Emperor. The reason why he had disguised himself as an Embroidered Uniform Guard and acted out the previous show was to test Xing Jue. He wanted to test if Xing Jue was someone worthy of Princess Xin Xin's trust and speak up for him.
"Hehe, not bad. My silly daughter didn't misjudge you this time."
"Get up." Seeing this, the Emperor smiled and helped Xing Jue up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xing Jue did not dare to show the slightest bit of disrespect to the number one person in the Starfall Dynasty.
"Xing Jue, I only have one question for you. Do you want to stay in the Imperial City or return to the Secret Unit?" After helping Xing Jue up, the Emperor asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, if possible, I prefer to return to the Secret Unit." Xing Jue replied respectfully.
"Good. Get up from where you fell. You've got guts."
"How about this. I will appoint you as the chief commander of the Secret Unit. When your strength reaches the War God level, I will appoint you as the general of the Secret Unit." The Emperor patted Xing Jue's shoulder and said with a smile. He was obviously very satisfied with Xing Jue.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Xing Jue's face was brimming with an excited smile. Since the Emperor was willing to come here and made an exception to appoint him as the chief commander of the Secret Unit, everything went much smoother than Xing Jue had imagined.
The headquarters of the Secret Division was one of the two largest organizations in the Luck Dynasty. However, compared to the extravagance of the Imperial City, the buildings of the Secret Division only had one feeling — sturdiness!
Early in the morning, when the ray of light pierced through the clouds and landed on the ground, the shouts of soldiers could already be heard coming from the headquarters of the Secret Battalion. They were currently training in an orderly manner.
The Heavenly Secret Battalion's soldiers were a true army. They didn't pursue individual qualities, but overall combat power. Therefore, apart from normal individual cultivation, they also focused on overall training.
Their formations were the sharpest weapons on the battlefield. Those guards in the slave camp who only knew how to abuse slaves were like heaven and earth when compared to the guards here. They were incomparable.
The headquarters of the Secret Division was a massive palace. Both sides of the palace were filled with golden statues of valiant and imposing figures in armor. These were all warriors who had made great contributions to the Secret Division. However, they had already passed away long ago.
In the middle of the hall, there was a three-meter-wide, ten-meter-long golden plaque. On the plaque, there were four words engraved: "Loyal to the Imperial Court"!!!!!
At this moment, a dozen or so generals were sitting below the plaque. Each of these generals exuded an extraordinary aura because they were all Wargod experts. Moreover, Zhang Hong, who sealed Xing Jue's power, was also among them.
In reality, there were far more generals in the Secret Division. However, many of them were stationed at important border posts, and even more were stationed in the Imperial City. The ones here were merely the ones in charge of the Secret Division. In times of peace, these generals were more than enough to guard the Secret Division.
In the main seat of the palace sat an old man with white hair who exuded a powerful aura. This old man's eyes were like a hawk's, but he only had one eye. This person is the Great General of the Secret Division, an intermediate stage wargod.
This Great General of the Secret Division also came from the strongest continent in the mortal world, the Iron Blood Continent. However, unlike Zhang Hong, this Great General was a just and impartial person. He strictly abided by military law and never showed favoritism to anyone.
As a result, the soldiers of the Heavenly Secret Battalion were both respectful and fearful of him. Even Zhang Hong, who had Prime Minister Wang Qiang backing him, was no exception. This was because this Great General did not care about Prime Minister Wang Qiang at all.
At this moment, the Great General's brows were tightly furrowed as he scanned the token in his hand. Zhang Hong and the rest below him were solemnly watching his every move. However, they did not dare to utter a single word, and could only guess what exactly had happened.
"Zhang Hong, have you caused any trouble recently?" Suddenly, the Great General slowly raised his head and cast a sharp gaze at Zhang Hong, who was sitting below him.
"Reporting to the General, this general has always stayed in the headquarters and never left. How could I have caused trouble?"
Zhang Hong, who was deep in thought, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard the Great General's question. This was because he knew that the military plaque definitely had something to do with him, which was why the Great General would ask such a question. However, he couldn't think of what he had done wrong. After all, he had done things like Xing Jue too many times!
"You went to watch last month's test, right?"
"Was there a brat called Xing Jue who became the champion of the test, but you sealed his power and reduced him to a slave?" The Great General suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked again with a strange smile.
"There's no such thing. The champion of the last test was Haoyan of the Iron Blood Continent. General, you know this!!!"
At this moment, Zhang Hong's expression changed greatly. His originally extremely uneasy heart began to beat extremely quickly. He already knew what the Great General was referring to when he said that he had caused trouble. He didn't expect it to be related to Xing Jue.
However, at this moment, he didn't have the time to think about how this matter had been exposed. He had to clarify it as much as possible. Otherwise, with the Great General's methods, punishment was unavoidable.
"Heh, Zhang Hong, oh Zhang Hong, what do you want me to say about you?"
"I've already advised you to stay away from Wang Qiang. This person is scheming and will affect the future of my Starfall Empire. However, you didn't listen to my advice and colluded with Wang Qiang to suppress the people of the Mortal Realm."
"Today, I will also let you understand why you are going to die. Take a look for yourself." The great general waved his sleeves as he spoke. A bright light shot out from the token in his hand. That light formed a fan shape as it shot out. Moreover, a row of large words actually surfaced on the light.
"This …"
When Zhang Hong saw the words floating in the air, he was even more shocked. He discovered that the process of him framing Xing Jue was actually written on it. Moreover, he had ordered the Great General to execute him immediately, and the person who gave the order was the current Emperor!!!
At this very moment, Zhang Hong's hands had already started to tremble violently. The trembling continued to spread, and very quickly, it spread to his entire body. At this moment, he was already completely numb, because he did not dare to believe the reality before his eyes.
He couldn't understand how an ordinary mortal like Xing Jue was able to pass the news to the current Emperor. What he couldn't understand even more was why the Emperor would order him to execute an ordinary mortal. After all, he was a War God and a General of the Divine Secret Unit. Compared to Xing Jue, the difference was like heaven and earth. There was no way to compare them.
"Zhang Hong, do you have anything else to say?" At this moment, the Great General's ice-cold voice suddenly rang out. It was as if he was pronouncing a death sentence, causing Zhang Hong to panic.
"General, you must believe me. Someone has definitely wrongly accused me."
"You must believe me. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Prime Minister. Yes, I will tell the Prime Minister about this. He will definitely testify for me."
When the Great General's ice-cold voice entered Zhang Hong's ears, he already knew that the situation was bad. He hurriedly took out his communication token. As he spoke, he began to use the communication token to report the current situation to the Prime Minister. He wanted this person, who was second only to the current Emperor in the Starfall Empire, to plead for him.
The Great General did not stop Zhang Hong's current actions. Even though he knew that Zhang Hong's actions were extreme, they were both people of the Ironblood Continent after all. He also did not wish for Zhang Hong to die in his own hands. However, whether or not there was a chance would depend on Zhang Hong himself.
After conveying the current situation to the Prime Minister, Zhang Hong tightly grasped the token in his hand with his trembling hands, waiting for the Prime Minister's reply. To Zhang Hong, this moment felt extremely long. It was only a short moment, but he felt like he had been suffering for several years.
"Sigh ~ ~ ~" At this moment, the Great General, who was seated at the head seat, suddenly sighed. His sigh caused everyone's gazes to converge on him once again.
"Zhang Hong, see for yourself."
Suddenly, the Great General once again floated the communication token in his hand. As a ray of light shone out, another few large words appeared in everyone's line of sight.
At this moment, when everyone present saw these few large words, they were all greatly shocked. Zhang Hong's eyes even widened. His face was lifeless and he did not dare to believe the reality before his eyes.
Written on the large words were "Kill Zhang Hong." And the person who issued this order was actually the current Prime Minister, Wang Qiang, whom Zhang Hong wanted to ask for help!
* Swoosh * Suddenly, Zhang Hong's figure suddenly turned and turned into a stream that shot out of the palace. He was actually trying to escape!
* Puchi *
However, at this moment, the Great General suddenly waved his sleeves, and a dark red gas burst out. This gas was like a blade, and it was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it had already pierced through Zhang Hong's neck.
There was no blood splattering, nor was there a decapitated corpse. There was only a red sword mark and Zhang Hong's bewildered and disbelieving expression. At this moment, all signs of life had been severed from him, and he was completely dead.
However, until his death, he still did not understand what was going on. Why did he only offend an ordinary person, Xing Jue, and he would be killed?
