Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Trouble at the Imperial Palace!
His complexion was a bit pale, looking as though he had suffered immense trauma — Lucifer.
Sitting in the chair beside him.
He also saw Gu Jue’s figure on the screen.
Lucifer chuckled lightly, "How about it, isn’t he exceptionally handsome, exceptionally strong?"
The blonde woman nodded slightly, "Indeed, he is much stronger than you."
Lucifer’s mouth twitched.
"Gu Jue is a naturally born Super S-class Beastman, and he possessed superpowers from a very early age, in this regard, I certainly cannot compare. But he is already married; that woman beside him, she is his wife. Oh right, they also have a Super Beastman baby."
Towards the end, Lucifer’s voice filled with schadenfreude.
Lucifer: "Plus, even if he wasn’t married, he wouldn’t be willing to help you propagate your descendants."
The blonde woman’s gaze, somewhat hazy, still lingered on the screen.
However, this time, her gaze shifted from Gu Jue to Su Wan.
The woman tilted her head, "I feel like she, seems familiar."
Lucifer too was propping up his chin with one hand.
Watching the young beautiful woman on the screen.
He said: "Of course she’s familiar; this is the person you once insisted that I must kill. Regrettably, several times, I was about to kill her, yet, she always escaped. This young lady has a tough life indeed."
The blonde woman was startled, "Why did I want you to kill her?"
Lucifer shrugged his shoulders, "How would I know, you’ve forgotten a lot of memories with this awakening, haven’t you? But if you have really forgotten, then let’s not kill her. Rather than killing her, I actually want to do something else."
The blonde woman glanced at the evil light in Lucifer’s eyes.
Her gaze once again fell on Su Wan.
Why did she want to kill her?
**
Universes Alliance conference had been convened for several days.
Representatives from various planets eventually formed two camps.
The conservative camp believed that since the Insectoids had not made any move,
they probably just wanted to rescue the captured Star Thieves.
Since the specific situation of the Insectoids was not known,
it was more important not to act rashly at this time!
But people from another camp believed that it was better to strike unexpectedly while the Insectoids’ power was not yet formidable.
Otherwise, if they became more powerful later, they would definitely be harder to deal with!
The two camps, each sticking to their own view, argued incessantly.
In the end, all eyes turned to Emperor Gu Zilan of the Empire.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Gu Zilan looked at his uncle Gu Jue sitting beside him.
He spoke slowly, "What is the Insect Beasts’ greatest instinct?"
Someone replied, "These damn bugs have an especially strong reproductive capability! Every time they occupy a planet, they breed rapidly and without limit!"
Gu Zilan nodded, "Therefore, if we let them occupy our planets, by then, our resources, our citizens, will become nourishment for their reproduction."
Proponents of war immediately nodded in agreement.
The faces of the representatives from the Peace Faction slowly turned very ugly.
In the end, Gu Zilan stood up and said slowly, "During the recent inter-academy exams, in fact, the students’ performance was nowhere close to their predecessors from decades ago."
"That means, our military strength is actually declining."
"The war with the Insect Beasts will be a long-termed struggle, it’s either you die or I survive."
"So if you disagree with waging war against the Insect Beasts, then leave the Universe Alliance!"
As the leader of the Universe Alliance and the ruler of the Empire, he had the power to make such a statement.
Let’s not talk about the representatives of the planets that were for the war.
The expressions of the members of the Peace Faction turned ugly.
This was a matter of picking sides.
Either war or peace.
Gu Zilan turned off the video conference, giving these people time to think.
He turned to Uncle Gu Jue beside him and said, "I predict that one-third of the planets will leave the Universe Alliance."
Gu Jue: "This is within our expectations. During the previous joint campaign to exterminate the Star Thieves, at least half of the planets that fought half-heartedly are against attacking the Insect Beasts this time."
Gu Zilan: "These people are really stupid. If you don’t attack the Insect Beasts, does that mean they won’t attack you?"
Gu Jue: "Not necessarily because the Insect Beasts have evolved, and the cunning Star Thieves are over there, they might want to ally with these cowards first."
Gu Zilan: "But that’s tantamount to conspiring with a tiger for its skin!"
Gu Jue chuckled lightly, "Can’t help it, there are always fools."
At that moment, Aiwei suddenly issued a warning to Gu Zilan!
"Report to Your Majesty! Someone is besieging the Imperial Palace!"
Aiwei was responsible for the entire Imperial Palace’s security measures, so he was the first to issue a warning!
Gu Zilan was stunned, "How could this happen? Who is attacking the Imperial Palace? What’s the situation inside right now?"
Aiwei: "It’s Prince Gu leading people, and they have surrounded the Imperial Palace! Two-thirds of the guards have been drawn away, and most of the remaining third are already dead!"
"Inside the Imperial Palace right now are Queen Luo Manya, the little Princess, and the Princess with the young master, Gu Chen."
Uncle Gu Jue’s eyes narrowed.
Wanwan said she was going to see Queen Luo Manya this afternoon to discuss some matters and took Xiaochen with her to the Imperial Palace!
Damn Gu Tao!
He must have planned this all along!
Ten minutes later, Gu Jue and Gu Zilan arrived at the Imperial Palace with people.
The security system outside the Imperial Palace had been activated, and the entire Imperial Palace had become an isolated island.
The people inside couldn’t possibly escape.
At this time, Gu Zilan’s communicator rang.
He answered it immediately!
Gu Tao was sitting on the throne, his face covered in wrinkles, with a crazed smile.
"Gu Zilan, are you anxious? Actually, if you hadn’t pushed people too far, I wouldn’t have done this."
Gu Zilan gritted his teeth: "Gu Tao, what on earth do you want to do? Let me tell you, this Imperial Palace is impregnable. You can’t escape. If you surrender now, everything is negotiable!"
Gu Tao sneered, "Negotiable? No no no, we have nothing left to talk about."
"I thought I had a chance to bring you down. It’s a pity that you are too vigilant, and those scoundrel Star Thieves are also unreliable."
"Also, during this time, you’ve not only captured Vida but many of my people as well."
"It’s you, Gu Jue. Don’t think that because you arrest people quietly, I won’t know about it!"
Gu Tao’s aged eyes looked around greedily. "This Imperial Palace is indeed impregnable, so nice. But why, even though we are brothers, you get to sit on the throne, your son sits, your grandson sits, why can’t I have a turn!"
Gu Jue watched him coldly.
He then instructed the White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird to confirm if Su Wan and the others were safe.
Meanwhile, Gu Zilan glared at Gu Tao and said, "What exactly do you want to do!"
Gu Tao: "Me? I want this throne. Either give me the throne, or let your wives and children, along with this great hall, go boom and blow up!"
