Creating the Shura Palace in a Fantasy World

Chapter 9: Chapter 9 - Reaction from all parties

Several days after Song Yang went into retreat...

"Shura Palace!!!" A roar echoed like deafening thunder throughout the Blue Lotus Sect; all the disciples recognized the voice of the Sect Master.

"What happened to the Sect Master?"

"Is this the Shura Palace that recently became famous?"

"Did Shura Palace offend the sect master?"

The disciples talked in whispers, trying to understand the reason for the sect master's roar.

Inside the main hall, Sun Donghai asked the elder next to him, with a terribly gloomy face:

"Was that token really delivered by Shura Palace by stealth?"

"That's right," the elder next to him nodded. He remembered that the sect master had been away for a few days, probably looking for his daughter. From the look on his face when he arrived, it seems he couldn't find her.

Although he realizes that the sect master is probably in a bad mood, he can't put this matter off. After all, a token appeared out of nowhere in the main hall of the sect. This is a very important matter that needs to be reported urgently to the sect master.

Thinking about it, the elder couldn't help but consider that the sect master would take his anger out on Shura Palace. However, the sect master's next sentence stunned the elder.

"Well, well, that Shura Palace dares to capture my daughter and sneak into the sect while I'm away," Sun Donghai laughed furiously. "Looks like we're destined to have a life and death rivalry."

As soon as he noticed the Shura Palace token, Sun Donghai immediately recognized that there was a breath that was also present at the place where his daughter disappeared. So he put the pieces together and deduced that the Shura Palace had kidnapped his daughter.

In the capital of the Zhenfang Dynasty, inside the palace, there was an extremely oppressive and frightening feeling. Song Tianyu, the current emperor, was clearly angry, with an expression of discontent on his face.

Song Tianyu is a middle-aged man, dressed in a golden outfit adorned with the symbol of a dragon, which represents imperial majesty. However, unlike usual, his face was terribly gloomy. Noticing this, the ministers below bowed their heads even lower, not daring to look at the visibly irritated emperor.

It's not known how much time passed, but Song Tianyu finally sighed and addressed a young man kneeling before him in disappointment: "Fan'er, have you really discovered nothing?"

Hearing this question, Song Fanyu felt like scolding all the generations of his father's ancestors. Clearly, he hadn't offered to investigate this matter, which was obviously impossible to find out.

And as he expected, he didn't get a good result, and his father is discussing it at the moment, clearly wanting to blame him.

"Reporting to Father Emperor, I was unable to discover the origin of this Shura Palace," Song Fanyu hid his dissatisfaction with his father and replied in a humble manner.

"Humph." Song Tianyu snorted coldly when he heard this, his imperial aura spreading and making the ministers bow even more.

When the emperor is angry, it's clearly mere 'mortals' like them who suffer.

A few days ago, a mysterious token bearing the inscription 'Shura Palace' suddenly appeared in the imperial hall. The emperor was furious when he discovered it and ordered the second prince, Song Fanyun, to investigate.

After all, the token spelled out that Shura Palace was an assassination organization that, for sufficient payment, would assassinate anyone regardless of their status.

This clearly showed the emperor that he himself is not exempt from this threat. As the ruler of a country, how could he not be furious when faced with such a blatant threat?

"Humph, I usually don't mind these murderous organizations, but it seems that now they've become so arrogant as to slap me in the face." Song Tianyu thought coldly in his heart, while at the same time being a little surprised. "But after all, it takes skill to sneak this token into my palace. Due to the protection of the royal fortune, even a saintly king wouldn't be able to sneak in easily."

"Resign immediately from the position of deputy commander of the imperial guard," announced Song Tianyu coldly, determining Song Fanyu's punishment.

"Yes, Father Emperor," replied Song Fanyu in an extremely respectful manner.

He knew he was being punished unfairly, but complaining would do no good. Clearly, his father was trying to suppress him, and his suspension from the position of deputy commander of the imperial guard would drastically reduce his power. But what could he do apart from accept it?

At the same time, he knew that his father was extremely irritated by the arrogance of the Shura Palace, because even with his father's methods, he probably couldn't discover its origin. That's why he delegated this responsibility to him, which made him consume a lot of resources in an attempt to investigate Shura Palace.

Unfortunately, even after using all his means, he was unable to discover anything. He even fantasized in his heart that this investigation wouldn't be a waste of resources, because if he managed to discover this organization, he could secretly try to make a deal or even subjugate this force, if possible. After all, just the fact that they had sneaked into the palace showed their potential.

After announcing Song Fanyu's punishment, Song Tianyu asked, turning his fierce gaze on the ministers below: "Do any ministers have any matters to report?"

Each minister who was observed by Song Tianyu instantly lowered his head, afraid of attracting Your Majesty's attention.

Clearly, they had matters to report, but who would dare to do so at this time?

Over the last few days, the Emperor had been furious with the Shura Palace, because somehow even the civilians were aware that this organization had dared to offend the imperial majesty. Even so, he was unable to discover the origin of this force.

The only thing he did find out was that today, the 15th of this month, Shura Palace will start accepting assassination missions.

This is probably why the emperor is so furious. He didn't manage to find out anything about this organization before it became active in the eyes of all civilians, which is a disgrace for him as Emperor of the Zhenfang Dynasty, one of the Five Great Dynasties of the Eastern Region.

"Since no one has anything to say, let's close this morning's meeting," said Song Tianyu, noticing the silence of those present and clearly annoyed, he closed the meeting.
