The Mu Stellar King wasn't a fool or else he never would have taken this throne.
As soon as he saw General Wu's expression change, he knew that this situation was very bad for him.
He knew that General Wu wouldn't reveal this kind of expression unless he felt that this situation was dangerous, which meant that he felt that this cloaked figure that had stood out was someone that was his match.
Even if the Mu Stellar King's cultivation wasn't that high, he could still sense the pressure coming from this cloaked figure.
He could guess that this cloaked figure was most likely in the Peak Planet Realm just like General Wu.
But that made him even more confused.
Where did his second son find a Peak Planet Realm Expert to be his subordinate?!
These experts were usually the top experts in any Stellar Kingdom and would normally hold very high positions. They would also have very high pride since they were top experts in any Stellar Kingdom, so they would only work for those that had the highest position in the Stellar Kingdom.
Why would this one work for a prince that didn't even have succession rights?
But he didn't have time to think about all of this…Right now he had to do something to fix this desperate situation.
So the Mu Stellar King cleared his throat as he forced himself to calm down before saying, "You in the cloak, why are you working for my foolish son? You should know that you have nothing to gain from this."
The cloaked figure turned to face the Mu Stellar King and just stood there in silence as if they were waiting for the Mu Stellar King to speak.
Seeing this, the Mu Stellar King saw a glint of hope and continued, "As long as you're willing to pledge your loyalty to me, I can grant you the title of duke in the Mu Stellar Kingdom. I will even marry one of my daughters to you so you can join our Mu Stellar Royal Family."
This was a very generous offer, but it was worth it since this was a Peak Planet Realm Expert.
Even General Wu was surprised by this offer since he had never received something like this, but he commended the king for having this kind of determination at this time.
If they were able to solve this matter with words and some benefits, then it would be the best scenario for them.

The cloaked figure just looked right at the Mu Stellar King and didn't say anything.
After a long period of silence, the cloaked figure suddenly burst out in laughter before turning to the second prince to say, "Your highness, you were right. This king really is a waste of space."
The second prince gave a nod without saying anything else.
The cloaked figure turned back to General Wu without even caring about the Mu Stellar King and said, "Shall we?"
The Mu Stellar King's expression fell when he heard this.
Just what had the second prince promised this person that he would be willing to do all this for the second prince?
Just what did he not give that this person wasn't moved?
After all, marrying one of the princesses meant that they had the right to become a duke that was part of the royal family. In the future, they could be considered part of the royal bloodline and their children would have the right to compete for the throne in the future.
This was an honour that anyone would be flattered by, but this cloaked figure just ignored it?
General Wu didn't have time to say anything as the cloaked figure suddenly attacked him.
With this, it was clear that there was no way of talking this out.
So the Mu Stellar King turned his attention to his next trump card as he shouted at the nobles, "Anyone who takes down the second prince will receive a first grade commendation and receive an increase in title."
The nobles that were here watching were some of the most powerful nobles here and as long as he could convince them to stand with him, he wouldn't have a problem. After all, since they were powerful nobles, they would be followed by powerful bodyguards.
He just needed to stall for time so he could contact the various generals and have them send their experts to take down the second prince.
But not a single one of these nobles made a move.
The Mu Stellar King looked around himself with a stunned look before shouting, "I'll give you treasures as well, just take care of the second prince already!"
He had already lost his composure as the king since he knew that he was in trouble, but still none of the nobles made a move. There were even some that had started laughing at him, as if they didn't care about the consequences.
They…most likely thought that he would be replaced by the second prince, so they wanted to flatter the second prince while there was still time.
Seeing that he had no choice at all, the Mu Stellar King suddenly took out a token and crushed it.
With a flash of light, there were several figures that suddenly appeared in front of him.
This was a special spatial law token that could only be used when the lifeline of the empire was in danger. To the Mu Stellar King, that meant that if his life was in danger, he would use it.
After all, he valued his life more than anything.
The figures that had been summoned were the generals that had been posted around the various parts of the kingdom.
Of course this could only be used in a crisis because by summoning all the generals, the defenses of the various parts of the kingdom would be weakened.
The Mu Stellar King didn't care about any of that as he shouted, "Take care of the second prince, he's rebelling!"
But even then, none of the generals made a move.
They just stood there staring at the Mu Stellar King as if they couldn't hear him at all.
The Mu Stellar King's eyes popped out when he saw this and he shouted again, "Did you not hear me? The second prince is rebelling and trying to start a coup! Stop him!"
But even then, none of the generals made a move.
One of them said in a calm voice, "Your majesty, it's time for your reign to end."
The Mu Stellar King's chin dropped to the ground when he heard this.
"This…This…This…" That was the only thing that he could stutter out when he heard this.
The top generals and top experts of the kingdom were actually colluding with the second prince to seize control of the throne! Just when had the second prince done all of this!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Mu Stellar King started backing away when he heard this and in his panic, he backed into the guards that were behind him. Seeing them, he pushed them at the generals and ran away from the arena.
The Mu Stellar King was going to run into the palace because his last trump card was there.
The foundation of the Mu Stellar Kingdom wasn't him, the Mu Stellar King, but rather the ancestors of the Mu Stellar Royal Family living deep inside of the palace. These were experts that were in the Sun Realm, the very peak of the World Realm.
They were the ones that protected the kingdom and ensured that the kingdom existed.
They were also the ones that appointed the king and ensured that he was safe. So they were the only ones that he could turn to now.
As long as he had the help of those ancestors, then he would be able to take care of all of these traitors.
So the Mu Stellar King was planning on running to hide where the ancestors were.
But to his surprise, the guards that he had pushed suddenly turned around and grabbed him by the hands, not letting him go anywhere.
The Mu Stellar King was shocked to see this, but then he roared out in an angry voice, "What do you think you're doing?!"
The guards turned the Mu Stellar King to the generals who used their domains to suppress him.
The Mu Stellar King's heart was filled with a chill as he realized that there were even traitors among his own guards. So with no other choice, he took out another token that he was about to crush.
But before he could crush it, there was a layer of light that appeared around that token.
This token was a token that could summon an ancestor to protect him when he was in danger and was the final trump card. If he wasn't forced to use it, he wouldn't have because this was the only one that he would ever get. The ancestors had made that very clear.
But now that he had no choice, he had been planning on using it.
A voice suddenly rang out that came from the token that said, "Huang'er, it's over. It's time for you to abdicate. Let Yong Li take the throne."
Then there was only silence that followed this voice.
That was because this was the voice of one of the two ancestors and it was telling the Mu Stellar King to abdicate, as well as giving the throne to the second prince!
Since the ancestor had spoken, there was nothing that anyone could do…
The Mu Stellar King could only just say, "This is?! This is!? This is!?"
It was as if he was a broken record as he couldn't understand what had happened.
Even the ancestor had abandoned him?
