If the two princes were to die today, the continent would be shaken, and countless people would be killed. Given the emperor's personality, the continent would be turned upside down by him.

Wang Mu hesitated, and the two princes, who were also afraid of death, quickly retreated.

Wang Mu came to his senses, waved his hand, and the palm wind passed by. The two princes were still hit and were knocked several meters away, each spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing the emperor closing in, Lixue quickly stepped in front of him, her chest out to meet his sword, tears streaming down her face as she looked at the man she loved.

Xu Ya quickly used her Li Yan spiritual power to stop the injuries of the two princes, but they still suffered some internal injuries and would probably need to rest for a while.

Having just narrowly escaped death, the two princes know how terrifying this emperor is. The academy speaks of him as a jinx and a demon, and it seems that's true.

Seeing that the princess was about to die by the emperor's sword, the members of the Divine Phoenix Camp surrounded her, even though they were mostly low- to mid-level fighters.

Looking at these young girls, Wang Mu was somewhat relieved that they hadn't used the Five Elements and Nine Palaces technique he had taught them to deal with him. If the Divine Phoenix Camp had used it, he probably would have already made his move.

Seeing the Divine Phoenix Camp dealing with the bad guys, Feng Ji roared, "Who dares to go against the Emperor?"

With a wave of her hand, hundreds of Phoenix Clan princess guards brandished their spears and swords at Princess Lixue and the Divine Phoenix Camp.

Although her numbers were less than half of the enemy's, she was certainly not weak in a real fight. Of course, she was unaware that the Divine Phoenix Camp possessed the Five Elements Nine Palaces formation.

The group faced off. Wang Mu looked at Li Xue with a pained expression and felt a pang of pity.

Although, according to the girls, the person who injured her that day was not the princess; she was forced to oppose her.

He was very distressed and couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. In addition, the divination he had done for the princess and himself suggested that they were destined to be together but not to be, and that the princess would become a calamity in his life. At that time, the two of them could only be enemies. He thought it was better to cut off all ties with the princess now to avoid them developing feelings for each other and suffering even more in the future.

Thinking of this, the sword in his hand trembled. Li Xue seemed to understand what he was thinking, stepped forward, her eyes showing determination, and smiled at him.

Feng Ji, who was watching from behind, shouted, "Your Majesty, hurry, hurry!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu knew that he could no longer kill the princess and prince today, so he put away his longsword in his spatial ring.

He glanced at Lixue with pain, regret, and helplessness, then used his lightness skill to disappear in a few breaths.

After everyone left, Lixue collapsed to the ground, not crying, but filled with boundless sorrow.

At this moment, she remembered what her cousin had said two days ago: that she still had hope for the emperor, but now her uncle was dead, had just killed hundreds of guards, and even wanted to kill her two imperial brothers.

Although she wasn't killed, her brother was injured, and everyone witnessed this. She knew that she and the emperor were no longer a possibility.

Although Feng Ji felt reluctant, he still ordered his guards to block the road in a line, not wanting them to chase after the bad guys or to escalate the situation further. Looking at the hundreds of people who had died tragically, he felt a bitter smile and sorrow in his heart.

After a while, Xuya said to the people of the Divine Phoenix Camp, "Take the prince and princess back."

"Yes, Your Highness, Princess of the Phoenix Clan," Aina said, bowing. She then bowed to Feng Ji and led the prince and princess away.

"Why aren't you telling your people to stop? Do you want to deal with me?" Xu Ya walked up to Feng Ji and said coldly.

"Humph!"

Feng Ji turned his face away, but still waved his hand to signal the Phoenix Clan princess's guards to withdraw.

Knowing the temperament of the two phoenix princesses, the guards immediately kept their distance.

Xu Ya looked in the direction Wang Mu had left and sighed, "Didn't he think about the consequences? Didn't he consider the mess he'd make?"

"Now is not the time to talk about these things, and I don't have the strength to fight you today."

Xu Ya suddenly asked, "Feng Ji, do you want to lead the Emperor to the west?"

Feng Ji naturally had this little thought, and at this moment she said with a hint of anger, "It's a pity he's not going, hmph."

Have you ever thought about the reasons behind this?

"I've thought about the reason before and asked him, but he wouldn't say and we couldn't find out."

Xu Ya felt uncomfortable being too close to Feng Ji. Their spiritual energies clashed, and the closer they got, the more uncomfortable they felt. After taking a few steps away, she asked, "Given the Emperor's current strength, how do you estimate he would fare against a level ten swordsman?"

"Don't even mention level ten, I wouldn't be much worse off than a low-level Quasi-Saint," Feng Ji said proudly.

Xu Ya asked, "Then what is his status at the academy?"

"A level one water element cultivator, and a mid-level one at that. Heh heh, this guy is incredibly stupid."

Xu Ya shook her head. "She clearly has the strength to fight against a sub-saint, but she has to stay in an academy as a level one cultivator and be ridiculed by others."

"Do you mean he has other purposes for being at the academy?"

Xu Ya nodded, "I believe you have also investigated him. All you know is that he came all the way from the far west of the desert to Red Moon Academy. He didn't go anywhere else, but went to Red Moon Academy first. He became a student and a cultivator, but he didn't properly cultivate water-based spiritual power."

"If you say that the academy is a foothold for him, it's more accurate to say that he is lurking in the academy. It's just that we don't know what he's up to, and he hasn't done anything to harm the academy, so the academy has been tolerating him all this time."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ji said, "You mentioning this reminds me of this guy. He acts strangely and won't say anything when asked. He's very mysterious, but he doesn't seem to target any person or any force. He acts according to his own will, and he's indifferent to even matters on the mainland."

Xu Ya said, "So, if we want what's best for him, we should try our best to create this kind of environment for him. He's still in the academy and hasn't left yet, so he must not have finished his business."

"If he is hunted down and killed all over the mainland for other reasons, it will not do him any good, but will only provoke him."

"I'm really afraid that by then, there won't be a place for him to stay on the Ice Moon Continent. Even we might be forced to stand against him, just like Princess Lixue did. Feng Ji, do you want that kind of ending?"

Feng Ji immediately understood what Xu Ya meant, "Then what should we do?"

"Although I haven't spent much time with him, I know a lot about him. Although he is ruthless and kills people like slaughtering pigs and sheep, I know that he has one characteristic: as long as you don't provoke him, he will never take action. Others' lives and deaths are none of his concern. If he takes action, it must be because you have offended him."

Feng Ji asked urgently, "You mean Wu Lande has offended some bad people?"

Xu Ya nodded, "Although I don't know the exact details, I guess it's like this: the incident started when the Emperor promised Princess Li Yili to go south to retrieve the items from the palace. Why would he cause trouble again?"

"Although he likes money, I believe he wouldn't care about those goods. Besides, why would he need those goods? He could just rob the money."
