"How can this be?"
The men of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction looked at Zhu Tong, who was rolling on the ground and screaming in pain.
Even the First Prince and the Third Prince could not help but wear astonished expressions.
Zhu Tong's cultivation rank was already at the peak of the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm and he was not far from the Sage-to-be Realm.
However, the young man from Firmament Palace had defeated Zhu Tong with just a glance. How could they not be shocked?
Furthermore, the young man's cultivation rank was at the Rank 8 Martial Emperor Realm.
It was unbelievable that a Rank 8 Martial Emperor Realm martial artist could defeat a Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm martial artist in seconds.
The men of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction were shocked. How could Firmament Sect have such a godly talent? He was even more terrifying than Su Mo!
The burly guard had thought that the two princes would be able to defeat Su Mo easily.
However, Su Mo had completely disregarded the two princes and had defeated Zhu Tong in an instant.
"You had better invite the King over. If not, I don't mind if you end up like him!" Su Mo pointed at Zhu Tong and coldly stared at the First Prince and the Third Prince.
It was too easy for him to defeat Zhu Tong. After all, his mental strength was much stronger than Zhu Tong's.
However, he still had to study the usage of the Ancient Demon Eye. At the moment, he could only use his mental strength through his eyes to form an attack. He had yet to unleash the full power of the Ancient Demon Eye.
"Who are you? Are you really from Firmament Sect? "The First Prince's face darkened as he stared at Su Mo.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not figure out Su Mo's strength, let alone identify Su Mo's real identity.
"I am someone you cannot afford to offend!" Su Mo lightly replied. He could not be bothered to argue with the First Prince and the Third Prince. The two of them could not decide anything.
"Presumptuous. Firmament Sect is just a small force. We are generous and have given you five quotas every month. Now, you are greedy. Do you really think that we do not dare to touch you?" The First Prince shouted coldly as his face was filled with killing intent. Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
As soon as the First Prince's voice fell, the men of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction surrounded Su Mo and the rest in a flash.
As long as the two princes gave the order, they would immediately take action and take down the 100 Firmament Sect disciples.
Bai Yin 'er, An Nuan, and the rest of the people from Firmament Palace started to get nervous. Although Su Mo's strength was unfathomable, they were still worried about him going against the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction.
"If you're looking for trouble, I don't mind letting you end up like the one on the ground!" Su Mo said calmly without the slightest hint of fear. These people were like ants in front of him.
"You …!" Hearing this, the First Prince was enraged. However, he did not act rashly. After all, even Zhu Tong could not defend himself. Even though he was stronger than Zhu Tong, he was not much stronger.
Just as the two sides were about to cross swords, a deep voice sounded above the crowd.
"Invite them to the Cloud Dragon Hall!"
A clear voice rang out. When everyone heard this, their faces turned cold, because this was the voice of the Saint Emperor.
The First Prince took a deep breath. Since the Saint Emperor had given the order, they had to obey.
"Follow us!"
Looking at Su Mo, the First Prince's eyes flashed. With that, he turned around and walked out.
With that, the group of men from the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction led the way as Su Mo and the disciples of Firmament Palace followed.
He was not afraid. He had to make things clear with the Saint Emperor to prevent any future trouble for Firmament Palace.
Furthermore, the relationship between him and Firmament Palace would definitely be revealed. After all, there were too many people around and he had to make sure that the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction would not dare to have any ill intentions.
He had not thought it through. He should not have sent the disciples of Firmament Palace to the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction. In other words, he should not have sent too many people. He should have only chosen a dozen talented disciples.
However, he was not worried. The Imperial Ancestor Court Faction would know what to do.
Not long later, the group arrived at the so-called "Cloud Dragon Hall". The Saint Emperor, who was wearing a dragon robe, sat on the main seat.
Below the Saint Emperor was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe. This man looked very similar to the Saint Emperor.
Su Mo led the group of Firmament Palace disciples into the hall. He sized up the Saint Emperor and the middle-aged man in a yellow robe. He did not bow to the Saint Emperor and his gaze was neither servile nor overbearing.
"You have hurt my men. Tell me, how should I punish you?" The Saint Emperor looked at Su Mo and the group and went straight to the point.
Su Mo sneered in his heart. Was the Saint Emperor trying to take them down a notch? However, it was obvious that he had used the wrong method. If the Saint Emperor was not afraid of them, he would have already attacked them. There was no need for him to waste time and invite them here.
"Your Majesty, we have something to discuss. Ask the people who are not involved to leave!" Su Mo said in a deep voice.
"Oh?" The Saint Emperor squinted his eyes and carefully sized Su Mo up. However, he did not see anything.
After pondering for a while, the Saint Emperor waved his hand. He wanted to see what the lad from Firmament Sect wanted to do.
If he did not give him a reasonable explanation, these people would not be able to leave today.
When the group of Imperial Ancestor Court Faction saw that the Saint Emperor had asked them to leave, their faces instantly turned gloomy.
This was especially so for Zhu Tong. He was no longer in pain, but his face was pale and his Spiritual Soul had been severely injured. He would not be able to recover in a year.
He had wanted to see the Saint Emperor punish the men from Firmament Palace, but he did not expect the Saint Emperor to ask them to leave.
The group did not dare to disobey the Saint Emperor's orders and they all left Cloud Dragon Hall.
However, the First Prince and the Third Prince, as the princes of the Holy Dynasty, did not leave.
The Saint Emperor looked at Su Mo and said in a deep voice, "Young man, what do you want to talk about? Speak!"
"Your Majesty, Su Mo helped your Imperial Ancestor Court Faction obtain the Ancient Dragon's Vein. Is this how you treat Firmament Sect?" Su Mo coldly asked. He would not reveal his identity.
"I have already done my best!"
The Saint Emperor squinted his eyes and looked at the cold-looking young man in front of him. Although the young man's cultivation rank was only at Rank 8 Martial Emperor Realm, the Saint Emperor knew that the young man was not simple.
Otherwise, a mere Martial Emperor would not be able to face the Saint Emperor so calmly, let alone injure Zhu Tong so easily.
The Saint Emperor had personally investigated Firmament Sect and he had a clear understanding of Firmament Sect's background.
As such, he could understand why Su Mo had asked Firmament Sect to come. However, the men from Firmament Sect had gone overboard and they had affected the development of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction.
Admittedly, it was thanks to Su Mo that they were able to obtain the Ancient Dragon's Vein. However, since the Dragon's Vein belonged to the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction, they had to protect their own interests.
"Done my best?"
