Everyone was startled. The people of the Xumi Temple in the hall were all part of the royal family clan. They were usually high and mighty, but most of them lived in the Xumi Temple, so they certainly didn't want to be the servants of the Great Moon Sect.

Under such circumstances, they had no choice but to accept reality and surrender to the Great Moon Sect. However, some unrealistic illusions still remained in their hearts, intending to conserve their strength and live a life of wealth and honor in the future.

The steed was Xumi's weak point, and also their last hope and trump card. If they were to hand over their trump card, they would truly have no hope and would never be able to make a comeback.

The moment Tuoba Fei took control of their territory, he would never give them another chance to escape.

The several Elders' eyes flashed with a thick chill as they glared at the Xumi Army, full of killing intent. They clenched their fists tightly.

All around the hall, the elites of the Da Yue branch were silently guarding the surroundings. Beside Tuoba Fei were a few generals standing with their hands on the hilt of their sabers. Their bodies emitted a murderous intent, making them not dare to act rashly.

The words that had just come out of the Sumeru soldier's mouth were a sneer. His swollen purple face twisted slightly in a sinister manner.

In order to protect the Xumi Clan, he didn't hesitate to become Tuoba Fei's servant. These elders had always been his sore spot, always opposing him. These people would stay in the Xumi Temple all year round. Because they were from the royal family and the elders of Xumi, they held great authority.

Over the years, he had made a few preparations and even married Han Congan's wife, Guli, in order to weaken the elders' power and authority.

It was just that it was impossible for him to eliminate all of the royal clan and elders. Those elders saw that the power and prestige of the Sumeru army was increasing and began to retreat, forming a tacit understanding with each other.

Now that they had encountered such a major event, they had followed the orders of the Xumi Army and surrendered to the Great Moon Branch. However, since this matter was related to the Xumi Clan's top secret and life or death situation, they refused to back down.

Her cold gaze was like a poisonous snake that was hibernating in the dark, emitting a faint coldness that caused one's heart to palpitate.

The long and narrow eyes of the Xumi Army were filled with killing intent. If these people didn't get rid of them, they would cause a great disaster. Their stubbornness would bring the entire Xumi Clan to a dead end.

He had already decided that from the moment he swore an oath before Tuoba Fei's feet, he would henceforth let the Xumi Clan live under the sun in a proper and honorable manner, peacefully enjoying their prosperity.

Yue Chanjuan's words had been ringing in his ears the entire time. It was worth it for him to use his dignity to bring back the prosperity of the entire clan.

He was thinking about the future of the Xumi race, the future of his children.

He raised his eyes and looked at Tuoba Fei, who had a cold yet not smile on his face. He could not help but feel a sense of respect as he lowered his head.

In his heart, there was only one hope, but he couldn't say it now.

"Xumi Army, you are the Xumi King, I'll leave this matter to you."

The Sumeru soldier knelt on the ground, "With your highness here, this servant would not dare to defy you. Please give your order, your highness. This servant will obey your orders."

"No matter. I'll let you handle it. You can handle it."

Tuoba Fei lazily leaned back in his chair, his playful eyes sweeping across everyone's faces. Everyone hastily lowered their heads, and the few Elders that were glaring at the Xumi Army secretly clenched their fists, not daring to display any of their anger.

"Your highness, your servants beg your highness to be merciful. While it is true that Xumi Qingfeng offended your highness, I beg you to forgive him this time. Your servants are eternally grateful."

"The Xumi Clan is becoming more and more unruly. Xumi Army, this is the Xumi Clan you taught me."

This soft sentence caused everyone to involuntarily prostrate themselves on the ground, heavily kowtowing and making loud banging sounds.

They were Tuoba Fei's slaves. There was no need for a reason for Master to punish them. Even if it was death or heavy punishment, Master had supreme authority over them and had the right to punish them as he pleased.

Slaves were the owner's private property, a lowly existence like goods and horses.

Just now, Tuoba Fei had asked Xumi Qingfeng what crime he had committed. This was already reason enough, so he didn't feel too awkward about it. But now, they were pleading for mercy on behalf of the Godly Mt. Xumi. In their words, there was even a threatening intent. They were offending their masters, surpassing the boundaries of a servant and being disrespectful to their masters.

Just this crime was enough to severely punish them, or even to grant them death.

In front of their master, they could only respectfully obey. Regardless of whether their master was right or wrong, or if they were kind or violent, they could only silently endure.

The Xumi Army heavily kowtowed as they lowered their heads, feigning fear as they whispered, "This servant is incompetent, please grant me punishment."

After all, most of them were his seniors. It would be a good thing if he could get rid of them with the help of Prince Xian of the Left.

Tuoba Fei gave a faint smile as his gaze swept past everyone who was kneeling on the ground. It was as if he was feeling a chill down his spine, causing everyone to break out in a cold sweat.

Only now did they finally come to their senses. They were only Tuoba Fei's servants now, existences that could execute people, give them away, and sell them at will.

He used to be a member of the Royal Family and a noble family, but now he was just a lowly slave.

The several Elders couldn't help but look at the Sumeru army with eyes full of killing intent. They had pushed all of the blame onto them.

"Your highness, your servant is bold, I dare to ask Your highness to allow your servant to speak in front of Your highness."

Xumi Feng crawled forward two steps, his heart was filled with hatred, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only respectfully ask Tuoba Fei to allow him to speak.

In front of his master, even if he didn't get his master's permission, he would be disrespectful when he spoke privately.

"What if This King doesn't want to hear it?"

"Yes!" Tuoba Fei replied flatly. Sumeru Xiong Feng originally wanted to push all the blame onto the Xumi Army. He even had a plan to get rid of the Xumi Army and make the Xumi King his successor.

Hearing Tuoba Fei's words, he could not help but grit his teeth. He could only kowtow deeply and said, "This servant has overstepped his bounds. This matter is extremely important. I humbly request that your highness allow this servant to speak."

"Oh, if that's the case, regardless of whether or not This King wants to hear it, This King will have to hear it from you."

"Bang bang …"

Xumi Feng kowtowed heavily to the ground, "Your servant does not dare, your servant goes overboard. Please grant me your punishment, Your Highness."

"Then tell me about it."

"Yes, reporting to your highness, joining forces with Hun Rong to fight against the Great Moon Branch, offending the heavenly might." Yes, reporting to your highness, joining forces with Hun Rong to fight against the Great Moon Branch, offending the heavenly might. Ever since the Xumi Army had ascended the throne, they had repeatedly offended only the might of the heavens. They had invaded the branch of the Grand Moon and could not be stopped by servants or servants alike. In this matter, the servants and others have spoken up several times, but several Elders were killed by the Sumeru Army. "

Xumi Feng's cold eyes glanced at the Xumi Army and simultaneously shot a look at the people behind him.

"Your Highness, this servant does not dare to speak false words. All the elders can bear witness to this matter!"
