You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 427 Tell the person behind you that I want to see him
Dynasty.

The head of the Mu family couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when he saw that the emperor had stopped at the crucial moment and hadn't killed him immediately.

The emperor's attitude seemed somewhat strange.

Logically speaking, after seeing the aura of the demonic seed on him, this emperor would not have held back.

Even if you want to pry more information about the demons out of him, you can leave him alive; there's no need to hold back.

However, just now, the emperor held back, withdrawing his hand at the crucial moment.

This attitude clearly indicates that they do not intend to kill him; rather, it seems more like a test, forcing him to reveal the aura of the demonic seed.

The head of the Mu family looked up at the emperor.

He wanted to know what the emperor's intention was in doing this.
How did the Emperor know about the matter between his Mu family and the Demon Clan?

"Hmph, this is the imperial dynasty. As the ruler of the dynasty, what can be hidden from me?"

The emperor snorted coldly.

As the ruler of a dynasty, the entire dynasty was under his control. How could any disturbance within the dynasty possibly escape his notice?
No matter how well the Mu family concealed it, it was impossible for them to completely hide it from the emperor.

If this emperor couldn't even do this, then the dragon throne he sat on would have been snatched away by someone long ago.

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, the Mu family patriarch's heart sank to the bottom.

From the Emperor's words, the head of the Mu family already knew that the Emperor had known about the Mu family's affair with the Demon Clan for a long time, rather than just recently.

This would put his entire Mu family in danger.

Given the emperor's methods, the Mu family is now completely trapped, with virtually no chance of escape.

"Your Mu family colluded with the demons, joined forces with them, betrayed the dynasty, and betrayed the human race. Your Mu family truly deserves to die."

The emperor looked at the head of the Mu family with an extremely cold gaze.

"Tell me, what do the demons want?"

What are they planning?

Meeting the emperor's extremely cold gaze, the head of the Mu family felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Since Your Majesty knows that I have a demonic seed within me, why ask this old man these questions?"

The head of the Mu family forced himself to speak, his heart sinking to the bottom.

They originally thought that the Mu family had hidden themselves very well, and that the imperial dynasty would not be able to discover them easily.

But he hadn't expected that he was being too complacent; his Mu family's little schemes had long been exposed to the Emperor.

From the emperor's icy gaze, the head of the Mu family knew that his Mu family was doomed.

"boom……"

No sooner had the head of the Mu family finished speaking than a hand slapped over.

The head of the Mu family was sent flying by the slap.

"I will remember your Mu family's crime of colluding with the demons."

"Go tell the person behind me that I want to see him, that I want the person who is truly in charge."

"otherwise."

"I will do everything in my power, at any cost."

After the emperor slapped the head of the Mu family away, he said in a cold voice.

He cannot kill the head of the Mu family now.

But that doesn't mean he'll let the head of the Mu family off so easily.

This slap was his punishment and warning to the head of the Mu family.

"puff!"

He coughed up three mouthfuls of blood in succession, and the face of the Mu family patriarch was extremely pale.

This palm strike caused the head of the Mu family considerable injury.

However, upon hearing the Emperor's words, the head of the Mu family disregarded his injuries and looked up at the Emperor in disbelief.

"Your Majesty will not kill this old man?"

The head of the Mu family stared at the emperor in shock.

Originally, the head of the Mu family thought he was doomed. After all, associating with the demons and betraying the dynasty was a grave taboo, something no emperor could tolerate.

However, the head of the Mu family did not expect that the emperor would not kill him or arrest him, but instead wanted to meet the person behind him. How could the head of the Mu family not be shocked?

"get out!"

"If your Mu family dares to run away, then your Mu family has no reason to exist."

The emperor said no more nonsense.

His main purpose in summoning the head of the Mu family to the palace was for this purpose.

As for the Mu family's collusion with the demons, these exposed pawns are no longer a threat.

"The old man retire."

The head of the Mu family realized what was happening, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and quickly bowed before leaving.

The head of the Mu family dared not linger here for even a moment longer.

Who knows if the emperor might suddenly change his mind and kill him?

It's better to leave first.

As the head of the Mu family left, the emperor's eyes flickered.

If given a choice, the emperor would never do this.

Unfortunately, circumstances are beyond our control.

According to the information obtained from the Grand Ancestor, the Emperor has realized that the current situation of the Dynasty is not optimistic.

The dynasty had just lost an ancestor and two saints on the Great Zhou battlefield, which had caused the dynasty's overall strength to decline by a level.

Therefore, the emperor had to make preparations for both possibilities.

If the imperial court is truly unreliable, then preserving the imperial power of the royal family will be the priority.

As an emperor, he could not allow the legacy of his ancestors to be squandered in his hands.

……

Mu family.

After leaving the palace, the head of the Mu family hurriedly returned to the Mu family.

Inside the council chamber.

The head of the Mu family sat in the main seat, with the elders of the Mu family seated below him.

"Patriarch, does this mean the Emperor already knows about our Mu family's dealings with the Demon Clan?"

Upon hearing the words of the Mu family patriarch, everyone present changed their expressions.

None of them expected that the patriarch's trip to the palace would bring back such a devastating piece of news.

"I never expected that despite our best efforts to conceal it, we still couldn't hide it from that emperor."

The head of the Mu family sighed and glanced at Fifth Master Mu sitting below.

If it weren't for Master Mu, the Mu family wouldn't have ended up like this.

However, it's too late to say anything now. The Mu family has reached the edge of a cliff, and there's no turning back.

"Gentlemen, our Mu family has reached a critical moment of life and death. I have summoned you all here so that you can make two preparations. Those of the younger generation of our Mu family who can be sent away should do their best to send them away secretly!"

"That way, if something were to happen to our Mu family, we wouldn't be wiped out and our lineage wouldn't be cut off."

The head of the Mu family glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice.

Although the emperor had just warned him, the Mu family could not sit idly by and wait for their doom without making any preparations.

These people are high-profile targets, so they can remain still.

However, the younger generation can be secretly sent away first, in case of unforeseen circumstances.

After saying this, the head of the Mu family looked at Fifth Master Mu again; "Fifth Master, go and contact the Demon Envoy! Tell the Demon Envoy that the Emperor wants to see the person who is truly in charge of them."

"Yes, master."

Master Mu nodded, his expression unchanged, utterly calm, showing no remorse whatsoever for causing the Mu family to fall into such a predicament.
