Lord Zhu clearly sensed Han Mozeâs earth-shattering angry, so he immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed non-stop. âI was wrong! Please calm down, Your Majesty. Please calm down.â
Han Moze squinted his deeply ruthless eyes and posed a question in his resounding voice. âAre there any other officials here?â
Lord Zhu lowered his head and answered respectfully. âY-Your Majesty, the high official Zhong and Lord Wen of the ministry of justice, as... as well as the military generals Weiwu, Bingzhong, and Hulie...â
âStop...â Han Mozeâs face looked completely ominous and his enigmatic eyes burned with rage. He stopped Lord Zhu from continuing, then continued to ask, âWho ordered you to do this?â
Lord Zhu slightly raised his head and glanced at Han Mozeâs grim expression with cold sweats down his back. âIt was... Bea... Beauty...â He answered in a respectful voice.
Han Moze tightly clenched both his fists until his knuckles turned white. His entire body unleashed a violent, cool breath and he spoke with a deeply furious voice. âI order you to gather all the officials who took part in this, here as soon as possible!â
Lord Zhu sensed a gust of cold air waft towards him and couldnât help but shudder all over. He was so frightened that he didnât dare take a deep breath. âYes, yes Your Majesty! I will gather all officials right away,â he replied as he nodded frantically.
Lord Zhu was about to get up but was stopped by Han Moze.
âWait! Lord Zhu, I have another order for you. Immediately send people to save the criminals from inside the mountain! Also, you are forbidden from sending the criminals into the mountains!â Han Moze continued to give orders. In the calmness of his deep voice, there was the expectation of strict obedience.
It was unclear what was going through Lord Zhuâs mind, but he couldnât help but hesitantly say, âB-but...â
âBut what? Unless, you want to disobey my orders Lord Zhu?â Han Mozeâs cold, sharp, sword-like eyes looked down at Lord Zhu from his horse with his handsome and majestic complexion. Han Mozeâs furious aura was frightening.
Every single chilling word that leaped between his teeth carried a clear and intense intent to kill that anyone could sense. Lord Zhu didnât dare fight back and spoke with a trembling voice. âI-I dare not. Iâll go order... order the men to escort the criminals out of the mountain.â
A penetratingly cold aura entered Han Mozeâs enigmatic eyes. âHurry and go! If you canât make it happen within an hour, then your head will be brought to me!â He said chillingly.
âYes, yes Your Majesty!â Lord Zhu heard the eerie orders given above his head and felt even more alarmed. Cold sweat drenched his forehead and he got up with trembling hands and feet, then spun around to carry out Han Mozeâs orders.
Han Moze glared coldly at the depths of Mount Jade Cloud, as an earth-shattering angry emitted from his body. His eyes revealed an intense urge to kill.
Hmph! Did those wretched cat demons take humans as mice to be captured?
Fortunately, his listening skills were several times more powerful than the average human. Otherwise, who knows how many innocent citizens would have died tonight within Mount Jade Cloud.
âI beg you, Lord Zhu! Let me go! Have it in your heart!â When the criminals saw Lord Zhu head back, they crept up to him once again and pleaded endlessly. The sound of their heads crashing to the ground was heard.
Lord Zhu suddenly turned his head and shot Han Moze a glance. He realized that Han Mozeâs entire body released the chilling, domineering vibe of a ruler which made people feel endlessly on edge with just one look.
Lord Zhu didnât dare disobey his orders, so he hurriedly ordered the six-rate officials around. âHurry and send my word. Quickly go into the mountains and save the criminals. Also, no one is allowed to send criminals in there anymore!â
That tall, muscular, and tanned leader looked clearly unwilling, but paused for a moment and spoke with a determined voice. âLord Zhu, please forgive me but I cannot obey your orders!â
