For so many years, it had been peaceful and normal people and ordinary powers would never dare to go against the Shadow Moon Palace.
But Elder Yue was now saying that someone in the Hill City was openly going against the Shadow Moon Palace. That was no longer a simple matter.
"Your subordinate is still investigating. According to the disciples who escaped from the Hill City, those people launched an attack on the branch during the night. Not only did they set the branch on fire, they even killed many of our disciples." Elder Yue said bitterly.
"How dare they! Investigate it! Find out who did it and I will definitely let them know that the Shadow Moon Palace is not one to be trifled with! " The Shadow Moon Palace Lord sobered up from his drunken stupor. Setting fire to the Shadow Moon Palace's branch within their territory and injuring countless of their disciples, was a blatant provocation!
If they did not handle the matter properly, where would the Shadow Moon Palace put their face?
"Reporting to my Lord, your subordinate has already ordered people to investigate and I believe that it will not be long before we find out who did it." Elder Yue said.
"How are the losses from the branch?" The Shadow Moon Palace Lord's brows were twitching. No matter who did it, the matter was a slap to the Shadow Moon Palace's face. How could he tolerate such humiliation?
"The losses were heavy and only one disciple from the branch managed to escape. Many of the other disciples are either dead or missing. After the fire, the corpses could not be identified and we are unable to ascertain which disciples lost their lives. But your subordinate has already compiled a list of all the disciples in the branch and will my Lord please take a look." As he spoke, Elder Yue handed a list of names he had prepared to the Shadow Moon Palace Lord's hand.
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord quickly flipped through the list. The Hill City was not considered to be a large city and hence, the Shadow Moon Palace did not have many people stationed there and most of them were not any important disciples. That made the Shadow Moon Palace Lord feel a little more at ease.
Yue Ye stood beside the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, pretending to casually glance over the list.
Although the Shadow Moon Palace was not as powerful as the Flame Demons Palace, they were not weak. Throughout the entire Middle Realm, there were not many powers that dared to challenge the Twelve Palaces' authority, besides the Nine Temples. But the Nine Temples' sphere of influence was very far away from the Twelve Palaces' sphere of influence and the Shadow Moon Palace was relatively low profile among the Twelve Palaces. Even if the Nine Temples wanted to strike at the Twelve Palaces, they would not choose the Shadow Moon Palace.
Yue Ye could not help but feel that something was not right with the news that Elder Yue was reporting. Of all times for something to happen, it just had to happen at this moment.
Just as Yue Ye was wondering what Elder Yue was thinking, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord had already flipped the name list to the last page.
And on the last page, two words suddenly appeared, causing Yue Ye's face to turn pale in an instant, her legs giving way and she almost fell to the ground.
On the last page, there was only a single name. Just two simple words, but it made Yue Ye feel as if she had been struck by lightning, her heart suddenly wrenching up.
"Yue Yi? Why would he go to Hill City? "The only name on the page was Yue Yi! When the Shadow Moon Palace Lord saw those two words, he was stunned for a moment, and he immediately saw Yue Ye's deathly pale face.
"Your subordinate deserves to die. I had heard that there had been some small commotion in the Hill City and your subordinate had thought that with Yue Yi's powers, he would be able to handle the matter but I had not thought that things would develop out of all my expectations. Yue Yi had just reached the Hill City when the incident happened." Elder Yue's face was filled with regret, like he was very worried for Yue Yi.
