Chương 772: Chapter 768: Shocking the Court!_1
Within the imperial court of the Xingluo Empire.
The courtiers gathered, splitting to either side, enduring the wrath of the Star Luo Emperor.
Crown Prince Davis had been missing for many days, and after a long fruitless search, the aging emperor had lost all patience.
He was in the midst of scolding his courtiers.
Fearing the emperor's anger might turn his way, Patriarch Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and said that his own two daughters had also gone missing, their whereabouts unknown.
"Bang!"
The great hall doors flung open, and in walked two women and a man.
The women were stunningly beautiful, with figures so enticing they could be described as peerless.
The man was gracefully handsome, as if a Banished Immortal had descended to the mortal realm.
The ministers were shocked, staring at the three young people who suddenly appeared, utterly dumbfounded.
What was this?
How could someone dare to barge into the palace without notice?
This was an offense not even several lives could redeem.
Meanwhile, Patriarch Zhu was completely bewildered.
"Zhu Yun, Zhu Qing?"
"How come you've suddenly appeared here?"
The Star Luo Emperor, in the throes of his enraged interrogation, was also stunned by the unexpected intrusion.
It was unprecedented in the history of the Xingluo Empire for someone to dare interrupt the emperor during his court.
Nobody had the audacity to do such a thing.
And yet, here were three youths, breaking in.
At this moment, an eunuch by the Emperor's side regained his senses and, with an angry tone, chastised:
"Audacious!"
"Who dares to barge into the palace like this?"
"Where are the guards?"
Luo Yu paid no attention to the little eunuch, following behind the two women, appearing relaxed and surveying the surroundings.
He couldn't help but curl his lips.
"What's this, it's not even close to the Sky Dou Imperial Palace."
This comment instantly incited everyone's anger.
"Impudent!"
"Who dares utter such madness here?"
"Insolent youth, it seems you have a death wish," exclaimed the ministers and princes one after another, all criticizing Luo Yu, berating him for his reckless words.
You may not mind dying,
but if you anger the emperor, they would all suffer from the fallout.
"Tch."
Luo Yu glanced at them indifferently, neither replying nor caring to reply.
In the eyes of the common folk, these people were powerful figures, entities not to be trifled with, yet in his eyes, they were nothing more than ants.
Do you retort when ants gesture at you?
Of course not.
Ignore them when you're feeling magnanimous,
crush them when you're not.
Right now, Luo Yu couldn't be bothered with them, after all, it was the old home of the Zhu Zhu Yun sisters; he'd let them handle it first.
After all, one must give face to his women.
"Zhu Yun, Zhu Qing, weren't you missing? How did you suddenly show up here?"
Patriarch Zhu turned into a shadow and appeared in front of the two sisters.
The sisters had thought Patriarch Zhu was worried about their safety and cared for their well-being.
But the next thing Patriarch Zhu asked was:
"Now that you are back, where is Crown Prince Davis? Why didn't you return with His Highness?"
Upon hearing this, realizing that Patriarch Zhu was actually concerned about the Crown Prince instead, the glint of joy in their eyes once again turned cold.
The Star Luo Emperor sitting above naturally heard the conversation below and asked:
"Zhu Zhu Yun, where is the Crown Prince?"
Zhu Zhu Yun glanced at Patriarch Zhu and looked up at the majestic emperor above.
Her heart was filled with emotion.
There was a time when she had to be timid in front of her clan leader and even her father.
Now, she stood with full confidence, fearless.
Was this courage of her own making?
Of course not, it was all because her beloved was by her side.
"To report to the emperor, Zhu Yun knows of Crown Prince Davis's whereabouts."
The ministers all let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Phew!"
"The Crown Prince has been missing for many days, and finally, there will be a conclusion."
"Yes, His Majesty has been angry for so long, and now he can finally calm down."
"We can have a few days of peace now."
The Zhu Family Patriarch wore a joyful expression, no longer fearing being implicated as long as the Crown Prince was unharmed.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome.
The furrowed brows of the Star Luo Emperor relaxed.
"Speak, where is the Crown Prince? I can forgive your sin of barging into the great hall without permission."
Zhu Zhu Yun stepped forward and said with a respectful bow:
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is dead."
A minister who had just sighed in relief subconsciously said:
"Oh, so the Crown Prince is dead, that explains why there has been no news."
But quickly, his body trembled, his scalp tingled, and a chill ran from his feet up his spine to the Heavenly Spirit Cover, shaking him to his core.
The Crown Prince...
The Crown Prince is dead?
He looked at Zhu Zhu Yun in shock. Shouldn't you be utterly distraught if the Crown Prince is dead?
Shouldn't you be mourning and reminiscing?
Shouldn't you be fearful and reverent?
Why is it that not only are you not afraid, you even seem to want to laugh?
This is absolutely preposterous!
The ministers were all shaken to their core, trembling with fear as they gazed at the emperor seated above, thinking everything was over, that a tremendous change was imminent.
The Patriarch Zhu desperately wanted to silence his own daughter right then and there.
"Zhu Zhu Yun, how dare you! What are you saying to His Majesty?"
"You must not speak nonsense in the grand hall."
Zhu Zhu Yun turned her head:
"You have to believe me, Crown Prince Davis is truly dead."
"Dead as can be."
Patriarch Zhu turned white and wavered.
He wished he could immediately retreat a hundred feet and sever any relation to Zhu Zhu Yun.
"The Crown Prince... if the Crown Prince is dead, then why are you still alive to come back?!"
The faces of the sisters Zhu Zhu Yun turned particularly ugly.
"Are these the words of a father?" Zhu Qing exclaimed angrily.
Zhu Zhu Yun also coldly said, "You have never acted like a father!"
"Boom!"
From the high seat in the hall, an explosive aura burst forth as the Star Luo Emperor rose, with eight Soul Rings swirling at his feet.
"What did you just say?"
"The Crown Prince is dead?"
"Who dared lay a hand on my son? I will make him and those behind him pay a price in blood and tears."
Before the overwhelming might of the Star Luo Emperor.
The sisters Zhu Zhu Yun stood tall and proud, unafraid.
"Crown Prince Davis was depraved and lecherous, spoiled and tyrannical, the heinous acts he committed in secret are countless, he deserved to die!"
"What?"
The ministers were petrified.
How could they dare to speak to the emperor like this? Are they truly fearless of death?
"You beasts, how dare you speak to His Majesty like this? Today, as the clan head, I will execute justice upon my kin!"
Patriarch Zhu's face showed urgency, his Soul Douluo Cultivation burst forth, his form flashed, and he aimed a palm strike right at Zhu Zhu Yun's chest.
"Bang!"
Patriarch Zhu staggered back several steps, disbelievingly looking at Zhu Zhu Yun.
"How... How have you become so powerful!"
Zhu Zhu Yun stood there with an Aura surging around her, seven Soul Rings rhythmically orbiting her body.
"Impossible, at your age, how could you possibly have broken through to Soul Sage?" Patriarch Zhu shook his head again and again, doubting his own eyes.
Though the Star Luo Emperor atop the high seat was shocked, his dignity repeatedly provoked, and now with the tragic news of his son, he was already enraged to the point of nearly losing his reason.
"Zhu Zhu Yun, who exactly killed my son!"
"You, as the Crown Princess Consort, why have you come back with a strange man!"
"Don't think being a Soul Sage is a big deal. Today, I, the Emperor, will have you killed, and no one in the world can stop me!!"
