Chapter 9: Chapter 9 - Reaction from all parties

Several days after Song Yang went into retreat...

"Shura Palace!!!" A roar echoed like deafening thunder throughout the Blue Lotus Sect; all the disciples recognized the voice of the Sect Master.

"What happened to the Sect Master?"

"Is this the Shura Palace that recently became famous?"

"Did Shura Palace offend the sect master?"

The disciples talked in whispers, trying to understand the reason for the sect master's roar.

Inside the main hall, Sun Donghai asked the elder next to him, with a terribly gloomy face:

"Was that token really delivered by Shura Palace by stealth?"

"That's right," the elder next to him nodded. He remembered that the sect master had been away for a few days, probably looking for his daughter. From the look on his face when he arrived, it seems he couldn't find her.

Although he realizes that the sect master is probably in a bad mood, he can't put this matter off. After all, a token appeared out of nowhere in the main hall of the sect. This is a very important matter that needs to be reported urgently to the sect master.

Thinking about it, the elder couldn't help but consider that the sect master would take his anger out on Shura Palace. However, the sect master's next sentence stunned the elder.

"Well, well, that Shura Palace dares to capture my daughter and sneak into the sect while I'm away," Sun Donghai laughed furiously. "Looks like we're destined to have a life and death rivalry."

"Resign immediately from the position of deputy commander of the imperial guard," announced Song Tianyu coldly, determining Song Fanyu's punishment.

"Yes, Father Emperor," replied Song Fanyu in an extremely respectful manner.

He knew he was being punished unfairly, but complaining would do no good. Clearly, his father was trying to suppress him, and his suspension from the position of deputy commander of the imperial guard would drastically reduce his power. But what could he do apart from accept it?

At the same time, he knew that his father was extremely irritated by the arrogance of the Shura Palace, because even with his father's methods, he probably couldn't discover its origin. That's why he delegated this responsibility to him, which made him consume a lot of resources in an attempt to investigate Shura Palace.

Unfortunately, even after using all his means, he was unable to discover anything. He even fantasized in his heart that this investigation wouldn't be a waste of resources, because if he managed to discover this organization, he could secretly try to make a deal or even subjugate this force, if possible. After all, just the fact that they had sneaked into the palace showed their potential.

After announcing Song Fanyu's punishment, Song Tianyu asked, turning his fierce gaze on the ministers below: "Do any ministers have any matters to report?"

Each minister who was observed by Song Tianyu instantly lowered his head, afraid of attracting Your Majesty's attention.

Clearly, they had matters to report, but who would dare to do so at this time?

Over the last few days, the Emperor had been furious with the Shura Palace, because somehow even the civilians were aware that this organization had dared to offend the imperial majesty. Even so, he was unable to discover the origin of this force.

The only thing he did find out was that today, the 15th of this month, Shura Palace will start accepting assassination missions.

This is probably why the emperor is so furious. He didn't manage to find out anything about this organization before it became active in the eyes of all civilians, which is a disgrace for him as Emperor of the Zhenfang Dynasty, one of the Five Great Dynasties of the Eastern Region.

"Since no one has anything to say, let's close this morning's meeting," said Song Tianyu, noticing the silence of those present and clearly annoyed, he closed the meeting.
