Chapter 288 The Emperor of The Feng Empire!

Somewhere in the Feng Empire,

Inside a well-lit hall with no decoration, five people sat surrounding a round table. There were three men and two women in the group, each exceptional in their own way.

They all seemed to be talking with each other, making jokes.

*Clank!*

Hearing the gates of the room open, everyone turned their attention towards the person who entered the room. When they saw the man entering the hall, not a single person dared to even breathe in his presence.

The man was adorned in expensive clothes and beautiful ornaments, while his face was covered in a black cloak. Despite the cloak, from his posture and skin tone, one could tell that the man was young.

He moved his head as if looking around the room, scanning through the people present. They all followed his figure and saw him sit on the main seat at the table.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Seeing him, everyone stood up and bowed in unison with reverence and fear on their faces. The man seemed to nod and walked towards the vacant seat at the table and faced the others.

He removed the cloak from his face, only to reveal a dashingly handsome face. The sharp look in his eyes kept everyone on their toes. After all, the man in front of them was not only stronger than them, but he was also more cruel to his enemies.

"Let's start the meeting." Upon taking a seat, the Emperor of the Feng Empire announced most seriously.

"If I may, Your Majesty, why are you not discussing this with the noble families of your empire?" an old man with a benevolent look on his face decided to ask the question that was on everyone's mind but they did not have the confidence or willpower to ask it out loud. "Why ask us? We may be the most powerful sects in this place, but we are not part of the empire's force."

The others looked at the old man with different kinds of looks on their faces. Some thought that the old man was admirable, while others thought he was an idiot digging his own grave.

Hearing the question, the Emperor of the Feng Empire smiled as if he expected such a question from the same man.

Seeing the smile, everyone was stunned because they did not expect someone like him to smile like that.

"The reason I am meeting with all of you is that this concerns you all just as much as it concerns me." He leaned forward on the desk and took the support of his hands before he announced things carefully.

"Before I go further with anything, do both of you remember the major incident that happened a couple of years ago?"

Upon hearing the emperor's question, everyone became tense as if they were struck by lightning.

How could they not remember what the major incident was that happened in the past few years? After all, it was the very incident that had scarred their reputation among the people of the empire. Several cultivators and mortals were killed under their watch, and they lost several of their elders.

"That… you are talking about that incident?!" one of the women almost jumped up from her chair, her eyes flaring with anger and killing intent.

Others started to sweat profoundly in fear of her anger. Her hair was just as red as her face when she flared in rage.

No one dared to mess with her sect because unless they were prepared for the grueling pain of having a screaming and raging loose cannon in their sect looking to rip their head off.

"Ahem! The very incident, this meeting is for me to confirm that they are back. But this time things are worse than the previous time. You must have gotten the news about the blast in the royal city a couple of days back, right?" The Emperor coughed, sweat dripping down his back seeing the look in the redhead's eyes. He then rolled his eyes, seeing them pretend how they were not aware of anything.

"The person who was responsible for it was confirmed to be related and similar to the people who were missing back then, and what's worse, he was freely running in the royal city."

Hearing his words, everyone except a single person looked confused.

"How does that have to do anything with us?" the one who asked this time was the other woman, who was adorned in a beautiful cheongsam, and her hair was tied up in a bun with the help of a hairpin.

"The reason it concerns us is that the person who entered the royal city had help from someone living inside it." One of the men sitting behind the old man sighed and leaned back in his seat. He rubbed his temples in annoyance. Hearing his words, the old man's eyes flashed.

"But doesn't that mean that he has a problem and not us?" a burly man sitting on the other side of the old man scratched his head innocently. "I do not want to waste my time and lose another one of my elders because of this."

"You buffoon! Can't you understand what Wuji—" The redhead yelled once again, "what's there to say if someone managed to sneak inside his royal capital, which he keeps so tightly guarded? They won't be able to sneak into our sects."

"Hey, I am not a buffoon!" the burly man slammed the table in annoyance, scaring some of them before he sat back down while muttering slowly, "I am San Ji."

Wuji, the same person who spoke previously, also known as Chen Wuji, raised his hands placed in front of them, intertwining his fingers, which made it impossible for others to see his face. But the Emperor, who could see his face, saw him smiling like an idiot while looking at the redhead. He shook his head before speaking up.

"Alright! I want you to clean any bugs that may have entered your sect! I don't care about what you do with them or how you do it, but they are not to be seen in my empire. I will sweep through the major families of the empire by myself.

~woosh~

I am not making you forcefully submit to me, but I also don't want something to happen to my Empire. So don't do anything to disturb the peace of the empire, and we will be fine!"

His cold voice and merciless words sent shivers down their spines, and the tremendous aura coming from him did not help them at all.

"That is all I want to—"

*Buzzz*

Before Feng Wuhan could complete his sentence, something started causing a sharp vibrating sound, catching everyone's attention. The Emperor noticed that the voice was coming from his robes. He frowned and looked for the source of the voice.

He did not remember having something like that in his robes. While searching, his hands touched a sheet of paper, and suddenly the sound stopped coming. What followed next made him wish that the buzzing had not stopped.

"Hey, you little shit!! Where are you? I am looking for you all over the place!"

!!Silence!!
