Chapter 729: 327
"If it were him, he would have probably killed all those of the Mu Family on the Vault Star," Qi Yuan said. "I am very kind, I only kill the ringleader... um, and those who are hostile towards me."
After speaking, Qi Yuan vanished.
Ningtuo’s charming voice came to his ears.
"Husband, they say the Eye of the Sky is very powerful. Do you want me to take you up there and tear the Mu Family’s Eye of the Sky to shreds?"
"Hmm... okay," Qi Yuan nodded, holding Ningtuo’s hand tighter.
After all, he was afraid of falling.
At this moment, inside the hall, after Qi Yuan had left, the remaining officials all took a deep breath and slumped to the ground.
While Qi Yuan was there, they had been too nervous, feeling as though their heads weren’t their own.
The senior official of the Province Cabinet turned to Han Kang and demanded, "What exactly is going on?"
He was naturally referring to Qi Yuan questioning the secretary.
The secretary was now limp on the floor, his eyes lifeless, still not having recovered.
Han Kang hurriedly explained, "About this matter..."
He reported the original incident as it had happened.
He couldn’t help but criticize in his heart.
Why did this secretary have to be so damn talkative and say that one sentence?
Yet, the head of the Province Cabinet’s eyes lit up, "Your brother... is he close to him?"
Han Kang’s heart stirred with some excitement, and then he said, "A few days ago, the Mu Family wanted to move against Mr. Qi, but somehow my brother caught wind of it and informed Mr. Qi."
"Good!" the head of the Province Cabinet slapped his thigh, a joyful expression on his face, "You did well. Come on, tell me more about your brother and Mr. Qi."
Seeing this, Han Kang knew this was his opportunity.
Now that he had already offended the Mu Family, why not board this big ship?
"My brother and Mr. Qi are both martial artists..." Han Kang relayed everything he knew to the head of the Province Cabinet.
The leader’s eyes shone even brighter, "With this connection, things will be easier... but..."
Upon thinking of something, he began to worry again.
"The Eye of the Sky... controlled by the Seven Martial Stars Clan... It’s too powerful.
No, I must report to His Majesty immediately. We must stop the Mu Family from using the Eye of the Sky!"
...
Capital City.
The most prosperous place in Qin Yuan Nation.
Within the Mu Family.
The old clan chief sat in the main seat, his expression extremely grim.
Standing beside the old chief were many middle-aged men, whose expressions were also rather poor.
He glared at the seventh prince and Gongyi Cai, showing a displeased look on his face.
"Do the Royal Family and the Gongyi Family intend to meddle in our Mu Family’s affairs?" the old chief’s voice carried anger.
The Royal Family was in decline, not even comparable to any of the major clans among the Seven Martial Stars.
The Gongyi Family was even more so faded, only their control over a Heavenly Eye keeping them from being ousted from the Seven Martial Stars.
Facing the seventh prince and Gongyi Cai, Clan Chief Mu showed no courtesy.
The seventh prince stood up, his voice refined and dignified, showing no dissatisfaction with the old Mu’s attitude, "Clan Chief Mu, we can sit down and discuss the matter. Recklessly using a mass destruction weapon like the Eye of the Sky is detrimental to the nation and can easily provoke conflicts."
Old Chief Mu snorted coldly, "It seems you from the Royal Family fancy him and want to woo him?
Humph, he killed my grandson, and we just let him go—how can the Mu Family stand firm within the Seven Martial Stars?
You want to sit and talk? Simple. As long as he kneels down, surrenders everything he owns, cuts off his own arms, we will let bygones be bygones.
Otherwise... the Eye of the Sky will certainly descend upon him."
Old Chief Mu was furious.
This time, if they don’t really take action against Qi Yuan, where would the Mu Family face remain?
How would the other families of the Seven Martial Stars Clan view the Mu Family, treating them like a soft persimmon?
The Seventh Prince said without haste, "Clan Chief Mu, according to the treaty signed between the Seven Martial Stars Clan and the Royal Family, the use of a weapon of the Eye of the Sky caliber requires an application to higher authorities and the consent of the Royal Family.
If Clan Chief Mu is preparing to make a move against Mr. Qi, please proceed according to the treaty."
Originally, the Royal Family had not yet completely declined and still held some authority when they signed a similar treaty with the Seven Martial Stars Clan.
But now, with the decline of the Royal Family, many of the Seven Martial Stars Clan don’t even take this treaty seriously.
Or rather, some might follow the treaty and apply upwards, and the Royal Family generally only goes through the motions and does not refuse.
At this point, the Seventh Prince bringing up this treaty signifies the Royal Family’s determination to win over Qi Yuan.
It is also to make the Mu Family wary of the Royal Family, so as not to use the Eye of the Sky and to end this conflict.
"Heh." Clan Chief Mu sneered coldly, "Treaty? Royal Family? We of the Seven Martial Stars Clan regard you as the Royal Family if we choose to, and if we don’t, you are no different from any dog on the street.
Without your own Eye of the Sky, does the Royal Family... even deserve to be called the Royal Family?"
Clan Chief Mu was directly tearing off the pretense and not even pretending anymore.
Decades ago, a man married a princess from the Royal Family. That man, young and promising, was seen as a rising star of the Royal Family, which strongly supported him, hoping to rejuvenate the Royal Family’s prestige.
But who knew that in the end, that man seized control of the last three Eye of the Sky authority access from the Royal Family.
As ridiculous and unbelievable as it sounds, it is true.
Since the loss of the Eye of the Sky access, the Royal Family can truly be considered to have completely declined.
At this moment, Clan Chief Mu showed no regard for the respect due to the Seventh Prince; he was openly defiant.
And what he said was the truth.
The Royal Family existed in name only.
Their power barely extended over a few provinces.
As for the army?
They didn’t control even a single military district.
They had no Eye of the Sky either.
This Royal Family... what is it if not a mere mascot?
Hearing Clan Chief Mu’s humiliating words, even with the Seventh Prince’s good temperament, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists, his nails digging into the flesh, and he raised his head with a smile still on his face, "Clan Chief Mu, the world is changing greatly now, the Immortal Path is resurging, and Mr. Qi is considered a guide on the Immortal Path. His survival benefits us all.
Moreover, the Eye of the Sky cannot be used indefinitely. Its energy will be exhausted and will be difficult to replenish, so..."
"Hmph, I hold the authority to the Eye of the Sky, I’ll use it as I wish!
Oh, I forgot, a certain Royal Family seems incapable of even preventing their Eye of the Sky access from being fooled away, haha." Clan Chief Mu laughed loudly, showing no respect to the Royal Family or the Gongyi Family, "And you, Gongyi Cai, if your Gongyi Family doesn’t make an effort, in less than a hundred years, you might end up like the Royal Family, losing even the last of your Eye of the Sky authority."
Clan Chief Mu attacked Gongyi Cai again, his eyes showing contempt as he snorted coldly, "Weak mice... only cling together."
As one of the top three families of the Seven Martial Stars Clan, Clan Chief Mu had the right to say this.
Even daughters from the great families on Canxing would choose to marry into their Mu Family.
It could be said that among the ten most powerful people on Vault Star, he held one of the spots.
"Mu system 01 to 13, Eye of the Sky, heed my command, operate at full power, activate war mode..." Clan Chief Mu spoke directly.
He was covered in various nanobots.
The password lock to control the Eye of the Sky was his voice, modulated in a special way that could not be replicated or falsified.
The network, too, was independent from the shared Internet.
"Order number one, activate Heavenly Eye, locate Qi Yuan’s position!"
Clan Chief Mu continued to issue commands.
Today, he was determined to show the world the Mu Family’s authority, unchallengeable.
However, at that moment, a mechanical voice came through.
