Situ Feng and his son had their limbs broken in succession as they were thrown out from the Cangming Academy, and even the thousands of well-equipped city guards that Situ Feng had brought along were all carried out by them. Such a huge piece of news quickly spread throughout the entire Star-moon City, and even the current Great Monarch Of Star And Moon of the Star-Moon Empire was no exception.

This time, the Great Monarch Of Star And Moon was called Murong Xi, he was around fifty years old, with a tall and sturdy stature. It was probably due to his good cultivation, although he was already over fifty, from his appearance, he did not look to be more than forty years old.

Every single Overlord unwittingly exuded an aura of dominance, and Murong Xi was no exception. Under his two slanted brows was an exceptionally sharp pair of eyes, making people feel as if they did not dare to look straight at him.

Murong Xi was currently looking at the information his subordinates had sent over about Situ Feng and his son being thrown out from the Cangming Academy when they were injured.

"Bastard, this Situ Feng is simply outrageous. He actually dares to lead his troops and rush into the Cangming Academy. Does he not want his head anymore? " After looking through the information in his hands, Murong Xi immediately shouted in anger.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Situ Feng loved her son so much that he committed such a heinous crime. Now that Sir Situ's hands and feet have been broken by the criminal, he will probably become a cripple for the rest of his life. Your Majesty, this criminal is simply too audacious. If he is not punished, then who knows what sin he will have to create in the future. " Seeing Murong Xi angry, a fat old man immediately begged for mercy, and as he spoke, he changed the topic.

Hearing the Fat Old Man's words, Murong Xi's eyes flashed with a cold glint, the Fat Old Man in front of him was the prime minister of the Star-Moon Empire, he wielded power throughout the empire, and his Zuo Family was a great clan with numerous experts. It was said that the patriarchs of the Zuo Family were all super experts who had reached the peak of the Fifth Level Of Innate Stage, and for such a huge clan, even Murong Xi, the emperor of the Star-Moon Empire, had to be slightly fearful of them.

"Did you find out who the criminal was?" Murong Xi asked.

"No, but according to the investigation that this humble subject sent, this criminal seems to be friendly with Principal Ji Wujiu, who is in charge of Cangming Academy. As long as His Majesty invites the President Ji, he will naturally know the identity of the culprit." Zuo Hsingyun said.

"Have a relationship with the President Ji?" Murong Xi muttered to himself as his brows knitted once more.

Ji Wujiu was different from ordinary people. Even though he was called his subject, the backing of this person was extremely terrifying, not only was it the Supreme Elder of the Ji Clan, the strongest clan in the Star-Moon Empire, there was even a rumor that this Ji Wujiu was related to some expert in the Mystic Moon. Even though it was only a rumor, it couldn't be disbelieved. Once this rumor became true, it would be too late for regret.

"Your Majesty, do you need this humble subject to send someone to bring the President Ji here?" Seeing the unsettled expression on Murong Xi's face, Zuo Hsingyun asked.

"Humph!" Prime Minister Zuo, there's no need to worry. Just as Zuo Hsingyun finished speaking, an extremely cold snort came from the entrance of the Imperial Palace's great hall. After that, a white-robed Ji Wujiu walked in with large strides.

"This subject, Ji Wujiu, greets Your Majesty!" Ji Wujiu who had walked into the great hall cupped his hands and greeted Murong Xi who was standing above the great hall.

"Exempt. Exempt." Why did Senior Ji come here? I am truly lacking in manners. I have to trouble you to come over for such a small matter. It's truly a sin to disturb Senior's cultivation. " Murong Xi who was sitting in the great hall said with a friendly expression.

"Your Majesty, it's alright. Your subject has come here to tell Your Majesty about the brawl that happened in the academy earlier." The matter that happened in the Cangming Academy was something that Situ and his son brought on themselves. They can do whatever they want just because they are officials of the imperial city. If it wasn't for someone who took action before this old man arrived, this old man would have definitely broken their hands and feet. " Ji Wujiu said with a face full of anger.

"I'm afraid that President Ji's words are a bit inappropriate, no matter what, Situ Feng is still an important subject in our Star-Moon Empire, and now that he has become a complete cripple, the perpetrators will definitely not put His Majesty in their eyes." Zuo Hsingyun who was standing at the side said in an insidious manner.

"Zuo Hsingyun, stop trying to cause trouble in front of His Majesty. Everyone in the capital knows that your Zuo Family and the Situ Family are people who are in the same boat. This old man only came here to inform His Majesty about the situation because I respect his majesty, in order to prevent others from turning black into white in front of him." Ji Wujiu said without a trace of politeness.

"You —" Zuo Hsingyun pointed at Ji Wujiu, so angry he could not speak.

"You what? If you have something you don't want to accept, then don't hesitate to stand up for the Situ Family. This old man will take it, it has been many years since I last unsheathed the Bloodthirsty Sword, I don't know if it will still be as sharp as it was back then." Ji Wujiu said with a cold smile. After he finished speaking, he then respectfully turned to Murong Xi and said: "Your Majesty, may I speak with you for a moment. This old man has some secret he needs to tell Your Majesty." After speaking to here, Ji Wujiu intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zuo Hsingyun, who was standing to the side, and then continued: "As for those who are unrelated, it's better if they left."

When the trembling Zuo Hsingyun heard Ji Wujiu's rude words, the anger in his heart grew even stronger. If not for the fact that his strength was not a match for Ji Wujiu, he would have already started a fight with Ji Wujiu.

"Zuo Qing, you can leave for now." Murong Xi said to the pale Zuo Hsingyun.

When the emperor spoke, no matter how big the anger in Zuo Hsingyun's heart was, he could only forcibly swallow it down.

"Yes, Your Majesty. This humble subject shall take his leave!" Zuo Hsingyun cupped his hands and said respectfully to Murong Xi, and then left the palace.

Only after Zuo Hsingyun had left did Murong Xi open his mouth to ask: "What does Senior Ji have to say to us?"

"Your Majesty, this humble subject pleads that you do not pursue the matter today. Let this matter rest." Ji Wujiu said.

"Why?" Murong Xi frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty, today's attack on Situ Feng and his son was this humble subject's Youngest Junior Brother. A few days ago, this humble subject received a letter from my benefactor, saying that this Youngest Junior Brother will be studying in the academy in the future, in which my benefactor repeatedly reminded this humble subject to take care of Youngest Junior Brother, so, this humble subject does not want this Youngest Junior Brother to be in any trouble." Ji Wujiu said in a serious tone.

Senior? Youngest Junior Brother?

Hearing Ji Wujiu's words, Murong Xi's heart fiercely jumped. The Ji Wujiu in front of him was already an unrivalled super expert in the eyes of the world, and the reputation of the Bloodthirsty Berserk Sword decades ago had resounded throughout the entire Mystic Moon Continent. He had to give him face. But if he did not deal with this matter, then where would the prestige of the emperor go? For a moment, Murong Xi's heart was in a mess.

Your Majesty, there are some things this humble subject does not want to tell Your Majesty at first, but over these years, Your Majesty has taken great care of this subject, and this subject is born with profound strength, so this subject does not wish to see Your Majesty suffer any more. Honestly speaking, this humble subject's Youngest Junior Brother is not only his benefactor's flesh and blood, the strength of the servants by his side is also extremely terrifying. Seeing the unsettled expression on Murong Xi's face, Ji Wujiu continued to add fuel to the fire.0

"He's even inferior to senior?" Murong Xi shouted out in shock. Ji Wujiu's strength was already impressive in his eyes, but he admitted that he was inferior to the servant of the Youngest Junior Brother. Murong Xi's heart was already filled with raging waves. However, he was still the emperor of an empire, and his shrewdness was much stronger than ordinary people. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately asked Ji Wujiu with a friendly face: "Senior Ji, may I ask, who exactly is this senior that you are talking about, your respected benefactor?"

Ji Wujiu did not directly answer Murong Xi. Instead, he smiled and extended a finger towards the roof of the great hall.

Seeing Ji Wujiu's actions, if Murong Xi still did not understand his intentions, then he was not fit to be the emperor of a large empire. Ji Wujiu's intentions were extremely clear, his master was one of the elders in the Heaven Climbing Ranking.

Heaven Climbing Ranking, that was an existence at the very peak of Mystic Moon Continent. It was said that every single one of the people in the Heaven Climbing Ranking were like gods of the land, being able to destroy a super empire with just a wave of a hand.

As he thought about it, Murong Xi's expression became serious as he said: "Alright, since Senior Ji is going to be lenient, we will not pursue this matter any further. However, we also hope that Senior can properly control your junior, after all, I am the emperor and should have some prestige."

"Thank you Your Majesty. Please be at ease, this humble subject will definitely control the Youngest Junior Brother and prevent him from acting recklessly." Ji Wujiu said.
