Mo Yunxuan's Response

As Hong Yu, Ji Ruxue's personal maid, watched Ji Ruxue's distraught state, she felt uneasy.

Qing Li spoke up directly, "Your Majesty, with just one word from you, we can kill this imposter on the spot."

Hearing this, those around them twitched their eyelids. This girl was still so reckless!

The Empress, hearing this, broke free from her immense sense of loss and said with fierce eyes, filled with hatred:

"No, he's useful for now. Once everything settles down, I'll make him wish he were dead!"

Then, as if remembering something, she instructed Hong Yu, "Inform Mother Empress about this matter and tell her... to take care."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll go now."

"Mm, go."

After speaking, Ji Ruxue rubbed her temples. This was the first time she felt so tired since her ascension to the throne.

Meanwhile, when Jun Tianxiao returned to the Anle Marquis Manor, Mo Yunxuan also received intelligence from a Nascent Soul Realm Imperial Guard.

After reading the intelligence in his hand, Mo Yunxuan looked at the Imperial Guard standing rigidly and said with a disdainful laugh:

"Jun Tianxiao actually wants to scheme for the position of Commander of Left Wei Guard? Is he treating our Wei State Duke Mansion as if it doesn't exist!"

The Imperial Guard lowered his head without answering. Mo Yunxuan didn't care and continued speaking, "Although our Wei State Duke Mansion has lost all its powerful experts, we still have two hundred thousand Imperial City Imperial Guards."

"And the Jun Family is left with only a Spirit Transmutation Peak Stage ancestor. Where does Jun Tianxiao get the guts to scheme against our Wei State Duke Mansion's Left Wei Guard?"

The Imperial Guard slightly raised his head and said calmly, "Perhaps it's that cultivator named Zhao Yun."

"According to Commander Li's observation, with his Spirit Transmutation Peak Stage cultivation, he can win, but he's not confident he can take down Zhao Yun in a short time."

"Furthermore, analyzing Jun Tianxiao's movements today, Jun Tianxiao is likely connected to that person in the Imperial Palace."

Hearing this, Mo Yunxuan's eyes showed a hint of seriousness, but only a hint. Mostly, he was surprised.

"Good heavens, Jun Tianxiao and Ji Ruxue have been hiding their tracks quite deeply. When we studied together at the Imperial Academy, I never noticed anything."

"What about Jun Tianxiao's scheme for the Left Wei Guard?"

The Imperial Guard asked tentatively, his tone hesitant, as this matter involved the Empress.

The Wei State Duke Mansion, having always been a staunch supporter of the Imperial Faction, indeed needed to be cautious about this matter.

However, Mo Yunxuan had no such scruples. Mo Yunxuan lacked emotional intelligence and didn't understand subtlety.

In his opinion, since they had decided to make a move against the Wei State Duke Mansion, they were enemies. And if they were enemies, why hesitate?

"Heh, with Jun Tianxiao's Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, there's no way he can get the position of Commander of Left Wei Guard. So, it must be Zhao Yun beside him."

Mo Yunxuan slammed the intelligence in his hand onto the table and leaned back in his chair, laughing disdainfully.

"Give it to him! Since the Empress wants it, we, as loyal ministers of the state, naturally cannot refuse."

In Mo Yunxuan's eyes, he held two hundred Elite Vanguards who could infinitely fuse essence to strengthen themselves rapidly.

With the power of the Wei State Duke Mansion, it wouldn't take long for the Elite Vanguard to fully advance to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

At that time, he would have two hundred Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators. Looking across the entire Great Gan Dynasty, only the Imperial Enshrinement Pavilion could rival this number.

But the Enshrinement Pavilion needed to help the Empress suppress the entire Dagan Dynasty, and they couldn't possibly fall out with him, a staunch Imperial Faction supporter, over a mere Left Wei Guard.

Moreover, Mo Yunxuan had no idol worship. He didn't have the habit of becoming a sycophant just because he liked a certain character.

He also didn't have Cao Cao's appreciation for talent. As someone who could also summon troops through a system.

He understood the system's nature very well. This Zhao Yun would never be of use to him.

Rather than letting him shine and cause trouble for him on the enemy's side, it was better to destroy him personally.

Once Mo Yunxuan's two hundred Spirit Transmutation Realm Body Cultivators were in place, even if he presented Zhao Yun's head to Jun Tianxiao, Jun Tianxiao would probably smile and serve him tea.

Therefore, Jun Tianxiao's current actions of vying for power and profit were, in Mo Yunxuan's eyes, those of a clown.

But the Imperial Guard didn't know Mo Yunxuan's confidence. From his perspective, he could only feel Mo Yunxuan's arrogance.

Although the Left Wei Guard had Fang Liang as an anomaly, the loyalty of the other officers was unquestionable.

But to just give up the Left Wei Guard like this, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the Left Wei Guard's officers!

Moreover, the Wei State Duke Mansion was indeed in a weakened state, without even a single Void Refinement Realm Expert.

Retreating at this time might also make others think that the Wei State Duke Mansion was weak and easily bullied, showing signs of decline. Then everyone would come to step on them, which would be troublesome.

Therefore, even the Imperial Guard, whose duty was to obey the Duke's orders, couldn't help but remind him:

"Duke, does your subordinate need to arrange for other generals of the Left Wei Guard to sideline Zhao Yun?"

Mo Yunxuan didn't understand his concern and was startled by his words, quickly stopping him:

"No! No need to sideline him. What if he pulls a 'kill the chicken to scare the monkeys' move, just like when I took office today?"

"At that time, not only would our generals die in vain, but Jun Tianxiao's side could also unscrupulously insert his cronies. It would be a complete loss."

"What we need to do now is to ensure Zhao Yun can't find any loopholes and drag this out for a month."

"With the situation of the Imperial City Imperial Guard, this can be easily accomplished. Using other methods would be gilding the lily."

After speaking, Mo Yunxuan looked at the Imperial Guard, who seemed to want to speak but stopped, and felt uneasy. He ordered emphatically:

"Pass down my command: the Left Wei Guard shall not conflict with the temporary Commander assigned by the Imperial Court. Wait patiently for one month until the new Commander takes office."

"Anyone who violates this will be executed immediately. That's all, you may go. This order is to be passed down before the end of tomorrow's morning court."

The Imperial Guard heard Mo Yunxuan's command and felt the firmness in his tone. They knew the Duke of Wei's will was not to be questioned. They bowed and took their leave.

After the Imperial Guard left, Wang Yuan knocked on the door.

"Master, the first batch of collected Fierce Beasts has been delivered. They are currently stored centrally in Training Ground No. 3 within the manor. Would you like to inspect them?"

Hearing Wang Yuan's words, Mo Yunxuan jumped up from his chair, opened the door in a few steps, and casually said, "Let's go."

He then took the lead and walked directly towards the training ground.

Upon arriving at Training Ground No. 3, he saw cages and containers of various sizes neatly arranged in the enclosed training ground.

Wang Yuan, who followed, began to introduce, "Master, due to the tight schedule, only three types of Fierce Beasts have been collected so far: the Giant Strength Ant, the Qingyan Turtle, and the Soft Bone Rabbit."

"These captured Fierce Beasts are all at level three, equivalent to cultivators in the Golden Core Stage."

"However, these three types of Fierce Beasts reproduce extremely quickly and have large populations, making their capture relatively simpler compared to other Fierce Beasts."
