Chapter 176

With an eager expression on his face, the captain of the city guard hurriedly reported the recent events to Ji Wuhui, his voice flustered.

Listening to his subordinates' reports, Ji Wuhui's usual demeanor of joy and anger showed some fluctuations.

Lightly tapping the back of his chair with his index finger, Ji Wuhui furrowed his thick eyebrows, indicating that his mood was not as calm as it appeared.

"You're saying that the Palace Lord of Silver Moon Palace came to Jiuyao City in person?"

"Exactly! Your Majesty, the subordinates witnessed it firsthand! There were four others with him, all practitioners of the Inquiring Dao realm!"

The captain of the city guard spoke in a deep voice, sweat dripping from his forehead and stinging his eyes, but he dared not wipe it away.

The power emanating from Ji Wuhui was definitely not something he could resist!

Ji Wuhui felt a headache coming on.

While he anticipated that Yinyue Mansion would seek revenge for Luo Chuan's actions against them, he hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

Chu Yangping had personally come to seek vengeance, accompanied by five questioning masters. It seemed that the higher echelons of Silver Moon Palace were nearly empty now.

"Very well, you may leave! I will handle this matter accordingly," Ji Wuhui waved his hand.

"Yes!" The captain of the city guard breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty's response indicated that there was a plan in place.

Once the captain departed, Old Bai appeared beside Ji Wuhui.

"What are your thoughts on this matter, Old Bai?" Ji Wuhui inquired.

"In my opinion, there is a high probability that Chu Yangping will head straight for the imperial city," Old Bai replied, narrowing his eyes.

Chu Yangping likely didn't know the identity of the one who had killed Chu Yunfei. After all, a destroyed Soul Projection couldn't transmit information. However, given that Jiuyao City was the capital of the Sky Star Empire, it was likely that news of the incident had spread.

Ji Wuhui sighed, "Yes, that's what concerns me. While I'm not afraid of facing five questioning cultivators myself, if we were to engage in battle within Jiuyao City, the consequences could be dire."

The power of a battle in the questioning realm could easily span over a hundred miles, wreaking havoc on its surroundings. With Chu Yangping and his companions within the city, there was no point in activating the city's defense formation.

Regarding the revelation that the one who ordered Chu Yunfei's death was the owner of Origin Mall, Ji Wuhui didn't dare confront them. The boss's strength far surpassed that of five Wendao practitioners, and betraying them would incur far greater consequences.

"Let's inform the boss and seek their advice," Old Bai suggested after a moment of thought.

Ji Wuhui's eyes lit up, a smile spreading across his face. "That's an excellent idea!"

Taking a deep breath, Ji Wuhui retrieved a jade pendant from his waist.

This jade pendant possessed the ability to transmit information.

Pouring his spiritual thoughts into it, the jade pendant suddenly emitted a bright light...

Meanwhile, at Origin Mall.

Luo Chuan, basking in the sun, suddenly sensed movement within his system space.

Curious, he opened it and found a glowing jade pendant.

Puzzled, Luo Chuan wondered aloud, "What's this?"

Then, realization dawned on him.

He remembered that Ji Wuhui had given him this jade pendant when he first arrived at Origin Mall.

Initially reluctant to accept it, Luo Chuan eventually relented to Ji Wuhui's insistence and took it.

According to Ji Wuhui, the jade pendant could transmit information.

Luo Chuan hadn't paid it much attention before and had simply stowed it away in his system space.

"Could this be a message from Ji Wuhui?" Luo Chuan speculated.
