In his eyes, the emperor of a third-rate force was no stronger than an ant.
Li Mu patted Little Astro Emperor on the shoulder and then looked at Situ Rong.
"I've just come back from the Four Brightness Immortal Mansion. I've met His Excellency Dongfang Yeren, the head of the Punishment Department of the Immortal Court, and I've become his disciple. You'd better do a thorough investigation. Otherwise, it'll be too late for regrets," said Li Mu flatly.
"What?"
Situ Rong's pupils constricted.
The head of the Punishment Department, Dongfang Yeren?
To him, this name was like a thunderclap piercing his ears.
His superior, Shen Wanchuan, was ranked sixth in the military office. The one who was truly in charge of the military office was Duanmu Zhengwu, who was a true giant level character. Situ Rong could hardly even see him normally, but Dongfang Yeren was a major character who was on par with Duanmu Zhengwu. He was also an existence that Situ Rong could only hope to reach.
Although the Punishment Palace didn't have direct control over the Military Palace, and Dongfang Yeren wasn't their direct superior, the Punishment Palace was still in charge of arresting people. It was a department with special privileges among the six Palaces of the Immortal Court, reporting directly to the Great Immortal Lord. They had the authority to deal with those who violated the laws of the Immortal Court.
A middle-level Heaven General like him was most afraid of being arrested and interrogated by the Punishment Department. Once he entered the Punishment Department, especially the Hall of Fame, he would not be able to come out alive.
Situ Rong's heart skipped a beat when he heard that Mu Mu had a connection with such a terrifying big shot like Dongfang Yeren.
However, on second thought, he suddenly realized something.
"No."
"Impossible."
"Haha, I was almost fooled by you. This time, His Excellency Dongfang did not enter the Four Brightness Immortal Mansion. The one in charge of this operation is Duanmu of the Military Department …" Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized something and immediately shut up.
The operation of the Four Brightness Immortal Mansion had not been deciphered until now. This was not information that could be disclosed to outsiders.
However, this was enough for him to be sure that Mu Mu was absolutely bluffing.
Perhaps he had heard the name of His Excellency Dongfang from somewhere and was talking nonsense here.
He was courting death.
He snapped, "Kill him! If he dares to resist, execute him!"
Li Mu was stunned.
"Why is this guy so tough?
A little Heaven General doesn't even respect the big shot of the Immortal Court? "
Was there something wrong with his brain?
However, Li Mu soon realized another reason.
Perhaps it was because Situ Rong's status was too low. He probably didn't know what had happened in Four Luminescent Immortal Mansion. It was very likely that the Immortal Court was still keeping the truth of Four Luminescent Immortal Mansion a secret. Situ Rong and even Shen Wanchuan didn't know that Dongfang Yeren had appeared in Four Luminescent Immortal Mansion. They didn't even know that their superiors, Duanmu Zhengwu and Great Immortal Master Dugu Anran, had died.
That was why he was so fearless even after hearing Dongfang Yeren's name.
It seemed that the current situation could not be explained in a short period of time.
With that in mind, Li Mu stopped explaining.
He released the power in his body slightly, and with a boom, he sent the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals flying. A crack also appeared in the formation that had been formed by the joint attack.
Li Mu's figure flashed, and in an instant, he led Young Chen Emperor and the others into the Imperial Palace.
At the same time, around the Imperial Palace, a visible dark yellow ripple shield was circulating, covering the entire hall.
"The battle in Four Luminescent Immortal Mansion will soon be over. At that time, everything will come to light."
Li Mu's voice came out in the hall.
He didn't want to talk to these greedy and stupid people anymore.
"I'll wait here for a while."
When the battle in Four Luminescent Immortal Mansion was over, and the Immortal Court had almost digested the news, Situ Rong would realize what a big mistake he had made.
But seeing this scene, Situ Rong was instantly shocked, and then completely furious.
Mu Mu's strength was far beyond his imagination. Although the formation was temporarily set up and its power was limited, it was enough to trap any expert below the Immortal King Realm. But he didn't expect that Mu Mu had broken free.
"Is he in the Immortal King Realm?"
"That's absolutely impossible."
"This man is a little strange."
"His escape method is amazing."
"Since he could escape from the Xuan 'ge that day, it's not surprising that he can escape from the formation today."
"I can't let him escape."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to answer to Shen Wanchuan.
Situ Rong, who was furious, ordered the celestial soldiers and generals to besiege the Imperial Palace, but they couldn't break the shield.
That made him even more anxious.
After confirming that there were no secret passages or secret portals in the Imperial Palace, Situ Rong made up his mind and directly rearranged the formation around. He locked the space and took out all the means he used to deal with the rebels to completely seal the Imperial Palace.
"Refine it. I don't believe he can withstand it."
Situ Rong ordered the celestial soldiers and generals to keep attacking and performing the formation to refine the Imperial Palace. He wanted to kill all the people inside and completely silence them. Only then could he complete the task given by Shen Wanchuan perfectly.
"Your Majesty, please ask him to come out."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please advise Lord Mu not to go against General Situ. General Situ is the Immortal General of the Great Celestial Court and has a high status. Our Extreme Cliff can't compete with him. Mu Mu is digging his own grave. He can't drag the Extreme Cliff and Your Majesty down with him."
"Mu Mu, you are a traitor. If you still have a little bit of conscience, just surrender yourself. Don't drag us down with you."
"Imperial Teacher Mu, you have always been loyal, and this old man admires you greatly. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding between you and General Situ. Why don't you come out first and explain things to General Situ? Perhaps you can turn hostility into friendship."
"That's right. If you continue to resist like this, you will die in the end. You will also drag the Extreme Emperor Cliff down. Mu Mu, do a good deed. Think about us innocent people."
Under Situ Rong's coercion, many ministers of the Extreme Emperor Cliff shouted loudly from outside.
But Li Mu just ignored them.
At this moment, Young Chen Emperor's eyes were filled with sorrow.
The dignified Extreme Cliff, the Immortal Dao Dynasty, turned out to be a bunch of spineless cowards. They were all so timid and afraid of death. Even if such a force was destroyed, it wouldn't be worthy of sympathy.
As an emperor, he felt humiliated.
At the same time, the experience these days had broadened his horizons and improved his outlook.
If it was before, he would think that as the emperor of the Extreme Cliff, he would have the power and status to protect his mother. But now, he felt that the position of emperor was a burden and a restraint. It was not good at all. On the contrary, he felt more secure by staying by his master's side.
While the officials outside the palace were shouting, cursing, and persuading, a thought in the mind of young Chen Emperor gradually became clear.
The eyes on his young face gradually became firm.
Time flew.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Imperial Palace was still intact.
Helpless, Situ Rong realized that Mu Mu was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. If he hadn't seen Mu Mu and the others outside the palace, he would have thought those people had already escaped.
"Someone, find out all of Mu Mu's friends and relatives and bring them here. I don't believe that he will be so cold-hearted as to watch those people being tortured without showing up."
Situ Rong decided to take some other measures.
However, very quickly, the reply from the officials of the Extreme Emperor Cliff made him dumbfounded.
Mu Mu didn't have any friends or relatives in the Extreme Cliff.
The only "friends" around him were a dog, a tiger, and a guard. Now, the tiger and the dog were both in the palace, and the guard was nowhere to be found. If there were any close friends, it would be Empress Dowager Yin and Young Chen Emperor in the palace.
According to the unofficial history of the Huangji Cliff, the reason why Mu Mu helped the young Emperor of Chen wholeheartedly was that he had an affair with Empress Dowager Yin. Empress Dowager Yin was young and beautiful, so Mu Mu coveted her. There was even a rumor that the young Emperor of Chen was actually Mu Mu's son, and Empress Dowager Yin had been with Mu Mu for a long time. Even the previous emperor was actually murdered by Mu Mu … The rumor spread secretly.
But some people who were eager to flatter him told Situ Rong all the inside stories.
Situ Rong grinned viciously. Then, he ordered his men to loudly insult Empress Dowager Yin outside the Imperial Palace with all kinds of obscene words and constantly slander her. First, he accused Empress Dowager Yin of having an affair with Li Mu. Then, he selected dozens of handsome guards in the imperial palace and ordered them to vividly describe the affair between them and Empress Dowager Yin, as well as all kinds of obscene scenes. Several guards even took the initiative to say that Empress Dowager Yin was so lustful that she once asked several of them to serve her at the same time, which was extremely obscene and despicable.
In the palace, the young Chen Emperor was almost driven mad.
He rushed to the outside of the palace several times to scold and refute, but was pulled back by the earth gangster tiger.
Empress Dowager Yin was so angry that her eyes turned red. She almost burst into tears several times, but she managed to hold back her tears and comforted her son again and again.
For the sake of the Young Astro Sovereign, she had endured humiliation for nearly ten years. She had endured all kinds of hardships, suffered all kinds of humiliation, and lived in fear day and night. That had tempered her state of mind. The insults outside were nothing compared to those years.
On the contrary, she sometimes thought that it wouldn't be a shameful thing if she could really have an affair with a man like Lord Mu Mu. Not to mention that Mu Mu could better protect the young Astro Monarch, Mu Mu was young, handsome, talented and charismatic. Any woman wouldn't reject the opportunity to have an affair with such a man.
With this thought in mind, Empress Dowager Yin felt even more at ease. She paid less and less attention to the slander and curses outside. She did not even shed tears.
Li Mu woke up from the closed-door training and heard the insults outside, especially the ugly behavior of the guards and ministers. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.
Li Mu thought highly of his disciple, Little Chen Huang.
The kid had a good character and was honest. Although his aptitude was average, Li Mu had long passed the time to teach disciples based on aptitude.
Therefore, he cared about Empress Dowager Yin's feelings.
He stood up and walked out of the palace. His heart was filled with killing intent and he was about to take action.
Suddenly, at this moment, in the distant sky, several giant Xuan 'ge flew over like giant fish in the ocean and landed in the sky above the imperial city. One of the flagships was extraordinary. Even the flagship of Shen Wanchuan, the sixth general of the military office, couldn't be compared with it.
A voice came from the luxurious flagship —
"Where is Royal Preceptor Mu Mu of the Extreme Emperor Cliff? Great Immortal Lord has issued an edict. Mu Mu, come out and accept the edict! "
The voice resounded clearly in the entire imperial city.
