The next day;
Imperial Palace, Phoenix Empire;
In the morning court session where all officials are present, the new Zhao Clan's Patriarch, Zhao Yenping was found kneeling before the Emperor alongside his Clan's Grand Elder, a reputed peak stage 6-circle realm expert.
"Do you have anything to say, Zhao Yenping?" Shang Jun, the Emperor looked so angry that he didn't even bother to address the other party with the formal title of the governor.
"We… we have no idea about it, Your Majesty. Please show mercy," Zhao Clan's Grand Elder kowtowed and apologized.
Shang Jun's anger only increased further, "An army of atleast 500 in numbers entered your territory and did such an act, but you are telling me that your clan has no idea?" His voice echoed in the hall, startling the low-level officials.
