“Lord Dark Guard, isn’t the Grand Tutor’s decision too harsh? That Ji Fengyan…” The guard tried to argue.

But the dark guard said coldly, “That is the Grand Tutor’s order.”

This sentence rendered the guard speechless.

The Grand Tutor’s order.

Within the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, the Grand Tutor wielded absolute control over the Terminators. Even the Emperor could not argue with him.

Now, the Grand Tutor had issued an ultimatum that none of the Terminators were to take part in the battle. This undoubtedly reduced the strength of the pursuing forces.

One must understand that even a thousand elite soldiers could not compare with a Terminator.

Although all the Terminators were shocked by the Grand Tutor’s order, no one dared to say a word.

No one could understand why the Grand Tutor had issued such an order, but they had no choice but to obey.

The guard had no choice but to hurry back to the palace and report the news to the Emperor. Under the command of the Grand Tutor, all the Terminators in the capital had to stand obediently outside the Grand Tutor’s residence. Until the matter was resolved, they could not leave, or they would be defying the Grand Tutor’s orders and would be disqualified from being a Terminator.

On one hand was the shocked and angry Emperor. On the other hand was the Grand Tutor, who wielded absolute power.

As for the Terminators, they would rather offend the Emperor than infuriate the Grand Tutor in his dignity.

After the dark guard had passed on the message, he returned to the residence.

In the main hall, Xing Lou was sitting upright in a chair, his face cold and reserved. Only the slightly wrinkled brow betrayed his current state of agitation.

Qin Muyao was standing silently by the side. He looked thoughtfully at the morose Xing Lou.

“Lord, the command has been given. None of the Terminators will participate in the battle.” The dark guard advanced and said.

Xing Lou nodded slightly. His five fingers that were placed on the arm of the chair tightened slightly.

“The Emperor is growing bolder and bolder.” Xing Lou narrowed his eyes.

The dark guard lowered his head and did not dare to say a word. When the Grand Tutor had returned a few days ago, he had sought the Emperor at the first opportunity. However, the Emperor had remained closely guarded regarding Ji Fengyan, and had revealed nothing.

If Qin Muyao had not hurried over and revealed the series of plots that the Emperor had directed at Ji Fengyan, Xing Lou would still be in the dark.

“Lord Grand Tutor, the Emperor has already issued three successive royal decrees, urging you to allow the Terminators to enter the battle. If you insist on refusing your permission, I am afraid…” Qin Muyao frowned slightly, and could not help but remind the Grand Tutor.

He had originally intended to seek the Grand Tutor’s help. The Grand Tutor had previously taken extensive care of Ji Fengyan, and only the Grand Tutor had the ability to rescue Ji Fengyan from her imprisonment.

But Qin Muyao could not have imagined that just as he reached the Grand Tutor’s residence and told the Grand Tutor the news of Ji Fengyan’s imprisonment by the Emperor, on the other side, news would arrive of Ji Fengyan creating havoc in the palace and killing the Eldest Princess.

This upheaval stunned even the usually calm Qin Muyao.

He had never imagined that Ji Fengyan would act so crazy.

Xing Lou’s handsome face showed no trace of expression. His cold eyes swept over Qin Muyao. “What about the Emperor?”

Qin Muyao was taken aback.

In the entire Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, only Xing Lou would dare disregard the Emperor like that.

Although Xing Lou had used the Terminators’ rules to restrict the Terminators from pursuing Ji Fengyan, but… his actions were clearly aimed at obstructing Ji Fengyan’s pursuit.
