C2976 Monitoring Group arrival
The third edict came from the Federal Overwatch Council, the headquarters of the Wanluo Federation. It was personally issued by the Senior Inspector General of the Federation, which was also the Great Emperor Uncle, Dragon Huai.
Thus, the value of this edict was much greater than the two edicts that had been given by Mei Fei.
She was just a favoured concubine of the undying emperor, but Dragon Huai was different. He had the status of an official, and in the royal family of the undying empire, he was the emperor's uncle, the elder brother of the undying emperor, and was an important figure in the royal family.
In the Miluo Empire, he was the dean of the Federal Overwatch Council, and he held a high position of authority.
The content of the third edict was also very simple, but the deeper meaning behind it was captivating, and even terrifying. The edict indicated that the Federation Overwatch Council of the Undying Star had already sent out an investigation team, and was on their way to the underworld to investigate the disappearance of the Xuan Prince. At the same time, they requested the Xuanyuan family's Naples stronghold fleet to remain on standby, and no one was allowed to leave until the arrival of the Federal Overwatch Council's investigation team.
On the surface, this edict seemed rather normal, but upon careful examination, everyone could tell that something was amiss.
First of all, the missing Xuan Prince should have been sent over by the undying imperial court, not the Federal Overwatch Council.
Whether it was the prince disobeying the imperial edict of Mei Concubine, the prince escaping from his marriage, or the prince getting kidnapped due to an accident, none of them should alert the Federal Overwatch Council to investigate. This was an internal matter of the imperial family.
In addition, if they were really here to investigate the disappearance of Prince Xuan, then the target of investigation mentioned in the edict should be the officials of the Empire of Tian Ming. Not the Xuanyuan family and the Neapolitan stronghold fleet.
Moreover, behind this edict, there was even a special mention of Prince Xuan being deducted ten billion contribution points.
This was even more unusual. It was obvious that the matter of Prince Xuan being deducted 10 billion federal contribution points had been tied to his sudden disappearance this time.
To put it more bluntly, the hidden meaning of this edict was that the Federal Overwatch Council was suspicious of Prince Xuan. Even the matter of him suddenly disappearing from Tian Ming Star had been incorporated into this.
All of this disobeying Esteemed Empress Mei's orders and disobeying the orders to escape the marriage was just an excuse for the Xuan Prince to hide his fear of his own crimes.
Most citizens of the Federation might not be able to see through all of this. However, as long as one had some experience in the government, they would be able to understand it after some thought.
Of course, since the Supervising Longshen had a special identity, he had always supported the First Prince. Thus, everyone was well aware that there were some private grudges involved in the investigation of Prince Xuan's Overwatch Council. However, no one dared to lightly discuss this matter.
However, due to the arrival of this edict, the previously frightened Emperor of the Underworld gradually calmed down. The officials of the capital were all intelligent people, so they could tell at a glance that the nature of the matter had changed.
Even on the other side, after their royal uncle, the dragon locust, gets involved, their attention and resentment will be drawn away from the Empire of Tian Ming to their royal uncle's dragon locust.
It was said that when immortals fought, imps would suffer.
It was impossible for it to be too intense, at least on the surface it could not be too obvious. Thus, both sides would restrain themselves, and in this case, when the immortals were fighting, the imp would instead become the spectator.
In short, the Empire of Tian Ming's crisis had been averted.
But for Naples and the Xuanyuan family, they became nervous.
One was a large family in the imperial city, the other was a high ranking military officer who had been with the imperial army for a long time.
Even though he understood, he dared not to say a word.
The Eldest Uncle Dragon Huai had all the reasons and excuses he could think of on the surface. Even if this investigation was indeed a struggle for power, no one dared to rashly poke holes in this window.
Even the undying Emperor would keep silent.
On one hand, it was related to the prestige of the imperial family. On the other hand, the dragon locust was his royal brother, and it held a high position in the Wanluo Federation. Even if the undying emperor didn't like this sort of fierce struggle for power, he couldn't bring himself to take the initiative to express his stance and get involved.
No matter when, when the struggle for the imperial power appeared, as the rulers of the imperial power at that time, they would always maintain a detached attitude. Unless the situation had reached a difficult situation, the controllers of the imperial power would only step in and pacify the unrest.
In fact, this sort of battle for power, in the eyes of the undying emperor, was also an excellent opportunity to test the First Prince and Prince Xuan, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere like a dark horse?
With regards to this point, Great Emperor Uncle Dragon Huai was also well aware of it. Hence, he had confidence that as long as she could master a speed, she wouldn't cause a huge ruckus and make the imperial family too embarrassed. The Undying Empire wouldn't step out to interfere.
Naples and the Xuanyuan family were both aware of this, so the current Naples and Xuanyuan family were all calm on the surface, but their hearts were no longer calm.
Other than anger, most of it was worry.1
The methods of the Federation's Overwatch Council were not ordinary. If Eldest Uncle Dragon Huai was determined, when Prince Xuan was heavily smacked down this time, they would suffer and even die together with him.
Other than the undying imperial court, the headquarters of the Wanluo Federation, which was located within the undying emperor, similarly they wouldn't express any opinion towards the dragon locust's use of power to seek for personal gain.
The Wanluo Federation was a place belonging to the human race of the third universe and many other races of the second universe. In the headquarters of the undying planet, besides the human Strongman, there were also many upper echelons of the other races of the second universe.
There were even some important departments that were not controlled by the human race but by the second universe's other races. The human race and the other races basically maintained a relative balance.
Moreover, although the humans and these Federation races were on the same side with regards to the matter of the Heavenly Mystery Realm, within the Federation, the competition and even struggles had never ceased.
This point could be seen from how the top ten rankers on the Heavenly Rankings were so sensitive as to be able to manipulate the heartstrings of the two great universes.
And this time, although the Director of the Federation's Overwatch Council, Longshu, had the suspicion that he was using his power for personal gain, this was, after all, a struggle within the human race.
It was in this situation that the Federation's investigation team from the Immortal Star arrived at the planet Tian Ming a day later ?
