Pushing the Blame

Since ancient times, imperial emperors have been the most ruthless.

To the Empress, wiping out family influences entirely was for the best. That's how imperial power could remain secure.

But Muchen was just a lazy prince, albeit an elder of the seven star sect, and his heart wasn't hardened enough.

Though he put on a tough front, there was some guilt festering deep within.

"Brother Li Sheng, at this point, it's not about decisions. I didn't expect that dragon to suddenly attack the ancient ship. The Emperor didn't inform anyone before leaving, there must have been hidden reasons!" Elder Muchen explained reluctantly.

But the head of the Li family wasn't easily fooled. He retorted coldly, "So many people died, and you're just brushing it off with 'at this point'?"

At this moment, even the Universe Master of the Qingyun Sect wasn't siding with Muchen.

Seeing this, Jian Wushuang pulled Jinchen aside.
