Xu Jiawei was not angry about the incident itself. After all, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had had its name dragged through the mud, and the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao, had lost all standing. That was actually something worth celebrating.
After all, this was something Xu Jiawei had dreamed of seeing.
But the problem now was that a mysterious force had infiltrated the entire Star Luo Imperial City-and perhaps even the entire Star Luo Empire-until it was riddled with holes like a sieve.
Overnight, the news had spread throughout the Star Luo Imperial City, and it was rapidly spreading beyond the city as well.
Even he could not achieve such terrifying efficiency.
And yet, a force this frightening had appeared on his own territory, right beneath the emperor's nose.
This was simply outrageous, and far too frightening.
"Brother, we still don't know. It seems to be a force that appeared out of thin air." Princess Xu Jiujiu looked helpless. They had uncovered nothing.
After all, the beggars and orphans they had caught knew practically nothing. They had merely taken money to do a job. As for who had paid them, all they said was that it had not been a person.
Not a person? Then what, a ghost?
"Investigate this at once. You must drag them out into the open for me. I will not tolerate two different voices in the empire, right under my very nose."
"From now on, this matter takes the highest priority. Compared with this, both the plan to weaken the Sun Moon Empire and the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament can be set aside for now."
His very rule was being threatened. What else was there to say? He had to resolve this before he could turn his attention to anything else with peace
