When Elder Yue saw those men, his mind immediately exploded and he stood frozen in his spot, not moving an inch.
"Tell the Palace Lord who you are and what is your relationship with Elder Yue." Elder Ying said in a deep voice as he stood at the side.
The men's backs were hunched, as they looked at the Shadow Moon Palace Lord timidly.
"My Lord, I am the Vice Clan Lord of the Frenzied Gang. The Clan Lord asked me to seek recruitment from the esteemed Palace Lord. Your humble servant was not able to see my Lord and could only contact Elder Yue through connections. Elder Yue said that to join the Shadow Moon Palace, we must show sincerity and he asked us to do as he said."
"My Lord, I am from the Maple Pavilion ….."
"My Lord ….."
The ten over men kneeling on the ground introduced themselves one by one. They came from different powers, but they all had the heart to show goodwill towards the Shadow Moon Palace and the person they came into contact with in the end was Elder Yue.
Elder Yue basically gave them the same hint, which was to follow his instructions and his instructions were the will of the Shadow Moon Palace Lord. Only by following his instructions would the Shadow Moon Palace Lord be able to see their sincerity.
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord's face turned uglier the more he heard. Under Elder Ying's interrogation, those men not only revealed the fact that Elder Yue had ordered them to attack the Hill City's branch division, they even revealed the treasures that they had entrusted Elder Yue to deliver to the Shadow Moon Palace Lord.
And those treasures, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord had never even seen them before.
Whose hands those things had ended up in, it was obvious just by thinking about it.
"Elder Yue, you are truly my good Elder. I had thought that you were the Elder with the most seniority and experience in the Shadow Moon Palace. You had once served my Grandfather, my father and I had always trusted you so much. But what have you done? Colluding with outsiders to suppress the other Elders in the palace, not only did you fill your own pockets, you even allowed these people to kill my palace's disciples! What are you trying to do!!! " The Shadow Moon Palace Lord was completely enraged. Towards the Elders' private little schemes, he had mostly turned a blind eye to most of it. But now that they had gone so far, if he were to still ignore it, wouldn't that mean that he would be handing the Shadow Moon Palace over to someone else on a silver platter!
"My Lord ….. I've been wrongly accused ….. Your subordinate's loyalty to the Shadow Moon Palace can be witnessed by the sun and moon. These people ….. These people must have been sent by Elder Ying to frame me. My Lord, you know this as well. Elder Ying has never been on good terms with me and for him to be so proactive in investigating this matter, he is just waiting to see me dead! I have been loyal to the Shadow Moon Hall for many years and I have never once had the heart to rebel! Your Highness! You have to believe me! If I had such thoughts, why would I wait until now? When the previous Palace Lord was gravely ill, Your Highness was still young. This subordinate has always been devoted to Your Highness and never thought about other things. If this subordinate really had such thoughts, wouldn't it have been better to take action at that time? " Elder Yue cried out loudly to redress his own grievances. He knew that if today's events were to be carried out, no matter how much he had sacrificed for the Shadow Moon Palace, there would only be death awaiting him!
No one in power would allow someone to ally with other forces in private to weaken their own power.
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord drew in a deep breath, the rage in his heart unabated. But Elder Yue's words had made him recall all the things that had happened when he was young.
His father had been gravely ill at that time and he had still been very young. At that time, Elder Yue had completely had the chance to coerce the Son of Heaven to command the nobles, but Elder Yue had not done so. The Shadow Moon Palace Lord who was in a rage was pulled back a sliver of calmness by Elder Yue's words, but the expression on his face did not improve in the slightest.
