Chapter 183 No Mercy
In the middle of the night, Wang Mu killed General Wu Lande in his room, and also killed the steward Wu Dahai, the head guard Lü Lun, and dozens of guards.
These people are only at level six or seven, what if they are at level eight?
None of the guards, including Wu Lande, expected him to come. Since they were in a post station in the city and had no defenses, he went in, easily killed dozens of people, and left.
When Wang Mu returned in the evening, Feng Ji had already left. He didn't sleep; he just meditated for a few hours and prepared to leave when it was dawn.
Late last night, the murder of Wu Lande was discovered. The others in the hall knew the seriousness of the matter and that the prince and princess of Red Moon Academy were inside, so they immediately ran to the academy to tell them.
Of course, the Li Yan Clan in the city also knew about this and immediately told the Li Yan Phoenix Clan princess. Xu Ya felt bitter upon hearing this and dared not tell her cousin at this moment.
She dressed and left the academy, just in time to run into Feng Ji, who was arriving. The Dark Sect knew she was only a moment too late.
Although they blamed the emperor for being too reckless, they had to stop him now, lest he do something even more extreme. The prince and princess would certainly not let it go once they learned that Wu Lande had been killed.
The Second Prince, Li Fei, found Li Zhijie and said that his uncle had been killed, which was clearly the work of the Emperor, and that the matter had reached a point where it was irreconcilable.
Even if the two princes are no match for them, they still have to be hunted down and killed, otherwise the two princes will become a laughing stock of the entire continent and bring shame to the empire.
Of course, Princess Lixue was unaware of all this. Her two brothers did not tell her, nor did they want to. When they saw her that day, they knew that their sister still cared for the emperor. It was only because it concerned the interests of the empire that they forced their sister to make a painful choice. As her brothers, they were also heartbroken.
The two princes' actions naturally did not escape the notice of the two sects outside. Upon hearing this, Feng Ji hurriedly left.
Xu Ya feared that if she went to protect the emperor, it would only cause a conflict between the Holy Empire and the Dark Sect, escalating the situation and turning the two sects into enemies on the East and West continents. If this was exploited by those with ulterior motives, the war would soon resume.
The east and west sides were constantly at war and hostile to each other, but it was all within the limits of tolerance. Moreover, the two sects were intentionally stirring up these conflicts so that divine authority could better invade and the imperial power could fall into other hands.
However, in the following years, alien races were about to invade. They had already learned that alien races had invaded various countries and instigated them, just like when Princess Lixue was assassinated, which led to the discovery of the Botton family in the Holy Empire colluding with alien races. Moreover, there were similar incidents in other countries and many other places on the continent.
As the princess of the Li Yan Phoenix Clan, Xu Ya immediately ordered the mobilization of the forces of the Ba Chen Zhong sect. There were thousands of Li Yan disciples in the city. She ordered the road to the Red Moon Academy to be blocked and also notified Emperor Li Ao.
The Illusion Moon Empire is currently purging the forces led by General Li Jiwo and is preoccupied with its own affairs. Upon hearing that this matter concerns the Holy Empire and has nothing to do with its own country, and that the Li Yan Sect is involved, it did a favor by ordering its own forces in the city not to get involved.
After daybreak, the two princes found that they could not transfer manpower from Bachen and learned that it was Liyan Sect's doing. They wanted to go to find Xuya, but they could not find her.
Then they heard that the emperor had left the academy and was about to travel far away. The two thought that the emperor was trying to escape, so they led hundreds of people outside to intercept Wang Mu.
Despite the magnitude of the event, the Divine Phoenix Camp eventually learned of it and rushed to the academy to find the princess. By the time Li Xue hurriedly left the academy, her two elder brothers had already led their men to chase after the Emperor, and she led the Divine Phoenix Camp in pursuit.
"Your Majesty, stop right there!" Li Fei shouted as he caught up with Wang Mu.
Wang Mu walked, and was caught up with more than ten miles from the academy. When he saw the two princes leading hundreds of people to chase him, he knew that they must have come for the matter of Wu Lande's death. At this moment, he remained calm.
Seeing the disdain on the other party's face, the Second Prince Li Fei was even more furious, "You killed our imperial general, and you still want to escape?"
"Do you think I'm trying to escape? Look closely. What does it matter if I kill a general or a few princes?" Wang Mu sneered.
The Third Prince, Li Zhijie, angrily said, "Your Majesty, have you considered the consequences?"
"If I don't kill you, do you think your Holy Empire will let me go?" Then Wang Mu laughed and said, "Since the result is the same anyway, what's wrong with killing a few more?"
Li Zhijie shouted, "Brother, run! He's going to kill us!"
Li Fei, of course, wouldn't run away. He drew his sword, but before he could even unleash his fighting spirit, Wang Mu had already drawn his sword.
Fortunately, the guards behind him were prepared. A volley of arrows did manage to stop Wang Mu, but it only delayed him. The guards quickly surrounded the two princes.
As Wang Mu said, since the outcome is the same, killing one general is no different from killing two princes, so let's just kill them directly.
He showed no mercy whatsoever. In addition, he was still recovering from his injuries during this trip and was afraid that someone might ambush and kill him on the way, so he made thorough preparations.
Wherever the smoke passed, guards fell dead in droves, and the two princes turned pale with fright.
Suddenly, two identical figures appeared, wielding long swords. Although they lacked the emperor's ferocity, they utterly overwhelmed the guards.
What's even more terrifying is that when the two are split in two or into two pieces, they instantly turn into four people, and then into eight. Given Li Fei and Li Zhijie's previous anger and impetuosity, they now only have the thought of escaping for their lives.
Only today did the two realize that the Emperor was truly strong and powerful, so powerful that even hundreds of people couldn't do anything to him, and that killing them was as easy as slaughtering pigs and dogs.
Hundreds of guards were either poisoned or killed, and even hundreds of horses were slaughtered. In the end, only a few lonely guards stood in front of them. Looking at the enemy, they held long swords, the tips of which were still dripping blood.
Wang Mu said with a mocking expression, "I've said it before, killing you is as easy as killing a flock of chickens and ducks. I didn't want to kill you, but you came to me on your own."
"Your Majesty, we are princes of the Holy Empire. If you kill us, you should think about the consequences." Although Li Fei's eyes were wide with anger, his voice was much lower.
Wang Mu laughed loudly, "Are you stupid or brain-dead? I'm killing you right now. Even if I die, I'll make your empire a living hell."
Li Zhijie said, "If you kill us, how will you face your imperial sister?"
"What a joke! What's our relationship? She wanted to kill me too, so why can't I kill her?" Wang Mu sneered.
"You dare!" Li Fei shouted, using the last of his strength.
A flash of white light appeared, turning into a curve, and the last few guards fell to the ground without uttering a sound. Wang Mu stepped forward, about to stab two of them to death, when Li Xue shouted from afar.
"Your Majesty, please don't kill my brother, I beg you."
"Your Majesty, stop!"
"Your Majesty, no!"
Behind them were the two Phoenix Clan princesses who had arrived. They knew that the Emperor was truly going to kill the prince, which was what they were most worried about and most afraid of.
