I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1098 406: Electrified Kid! The Might of Chen Mo’s Family Discipline! (Part 3)

The Six Ministers were naturally overjoyed, while Chen Zhuo and the other officials looked grave.

Standing at the forefront, Lv Huaiyu and Zhuang Jingming kept their eyes lowered in silence.

As the boisterous atmosphere gradually calmed, Emperor Wu Lie spoke, "Today's court session is merely to put your minds at ease. I am well aware of the state of my health, and I fear my days are numbered... cough, cough, in these tumultuous times, until the Crown Prince can shoulder the responsibilities alone, the affairs of the court will still trouble the Empress."

"..."

The faces of the Six Ministers turned red as if their throats had been clutched.

At that moment, Emperor Wu Lie seemed to recall something and said, "Speaking of this, I have heard that a newcomer has risen in court, achieving remarkable feats, unmatched in fame. It seems to be the Thousand Households of the Sky Scale Guard, named... Chen Mo?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuo's heart trembled, and he sidestepped to the forefront, stating, "That is indeed my son, Your Majesty. You overpraise him; it was merely luck that he managed to solve a few cases by chance."

Emperor Wu Lie waved his hand, smiling warmly, "Luck itself is part of one's ability, Mr. Chen, you needn't be modest... cough, cough, I wonder if Chen Mo has come to court today?"

Chen Zhuo replied, "In response to Your Majesty, my son has gone to the Southern Border to eradicate the Gu God Sect and has yet to return."

"Is that so?" Emperor Wu Lie slightly raised an eyebrow and looked at a man in a fur coat, pale-faced, asking, "Mr. Wei, what is the situation in the Southern Border?"

Only then did the crowd notice that Wei Xuan, the Heavenly Qilin Guard Commander who never meddled in political affairs, had actually come to court today?

It was just that his presence was too restrained, and the ministers at the back had not noticed!

Wei Xuan adjusted his robe and spoke calmly, "Based on the current information, Chen Mo has demolished several strongholds of the Gu God Sect in Tiannan State, killed thousands of Demon Sect demons, and then consecutively defeated four Grandmasters in the state city of Nantu State, personally executing a First-Grade Gu Cultivator, Yin Tiankou..."

"By the way, this also included a Mystic Armor Guard Commander who was turned by the Demon Sect."

Whether intentional or not, he didn't mention the Barbarian Slave affair.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Peizhi and others were shocked!

If they remembered correctly, Chen Mo himself had only recently broken into the Third Grade, hadn't he?

To have consecutively defeated four Grandmasters? Including a veteran First Grade?

Isn't that a bit too exaggerated!

Besides, the Mystic Armor Guard is after all the elite of the Imperial Court Guards, how could the Gu God Sect, a mere Jianghu sect, extend its reach so far?

Slam—slam—slam—

"Good, very good! Indeed, heroes emerge young!" Emperor Wu Lie clapped his hands in admiration, "Such talent must be entrusted with important responsibilities, coincidentally, a Mystic Armor Guard Commander's position has become vacant, why not let him take it, and stay by my side for careful nurturing..."

"No!"

The Empress's expression changed drastically!

Just as she was about to rise in protest, suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps accompanied by a guard's shout came from outside the hall:

"Halt!"

"Who dares trespass the court?"

Then, a clear female voice sounded, "I am Lu Shuangge, Personal Guard Commander of Princess Xuanhuang, urgent report from the border! It must be reported immediately!"

"Urgent report from the border?"

Emperor Wu Lie was momentarily stunned, his brows furrowed, and he glanced at Lv Huaiyu, saying, "Permit her entry."

Beside him, the old eunuch announced loudly, "Allow Lu Shuangge to enter."

Accompanied by two guards, Lu Shuangge, holding a military token, strode in.

Upon seeing the Emperor seated on the dragon throne, a glint flickered in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it, kneeling and bowing, "This subordinate pays respect to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

"Rise and speak," Emperor Wu Lie tapped on the armrest with his fingers, "I'm curious to hear, what urgent matter at the border requires such a grand entrance?"

"As you command." Lu Shuangge stood up, took out the report, unfolded it, and read word by word, "Yesterday afternoon, Heavenly Qilin Guard Thousand Households Chen Mo, in collaboration with Xuanhuang Army Assistant General Ye Linghan, carried out a surprise attack on the Barbarian Tribe's camp in the Southern Wilderness!"

"After our army forces surrounded them, Assistant General Ye first took action, killing a Half-step King Realm Commander."

"Subsequently, Chen Qianhu killed a King Realm Commander, captured a King Realm Witch alive, and single-handedly eliminated over 3,200 Barbarian Tribe warriors!"

"Thus, one of the five tribes of the Barbarian Tribe, the Bone Erosion Tribe, is left with not a single survivor, completely eradicated!"

As these words came out, the ministers were once again left dumbfounded.

The air in the grand hall seemed to freeze, and a pin drop could be heard!
