The death of the unknown man was considered an execution for trying to kill an ordinary person like Feng Jing. This is why Feng Wu and Xue Ran's actions were considered justified as the Oberion Empire's laws were backing their actions.
The descended silence in the area had spread. Everyone was either standing stiffly to where they were or running to some corner to vomit. The scene of someone's gory death is still quite different from the deaths of an alien race like the Zergs. This is a human being. A dead person.
The one who broke the silence is none other than Feng Jing. His expressions didn't change even when seeing such a thing before him. His expression looks innocent and silly like usual but this just made things.
Feng Jing said, "Ah~ I-I…I really almost die ba~ My dear nephews~ how are you going to explain the situation to this Imperial Uncle~"
It was Prince Rigel who wanted to explain the situation.
"Imperial Uncle… This is not really our fault, it was an accident! Nephews weren't really trying to harm the Imperial Uncle." said his highness the first prince.
But Feng Jing continued to smile and didn't accept any of the words Prince Rigel was saying. In the eyes of Prince Naja, Feng Jing's actions are the case of bullying with his standing as their elders and Navi Naja hated that feeling the most especially when the elders of the Navi Clan act the same way towards him. He had forgotten all decorum and shouted out his real feelings.
Navi Naja said, "This is your own fault for being an idiot! Or else how the hell would you get pushed by someone in the middle of sentinels fighting each other. You should have just died!"
Not only was everyone surprised even Prince Rigel didn't expect his younger cousin brother to say such words. Moreover, telling it to the face of the person itself made it worse. At this moment everyone's expressions were a collection of anger and disbelief, even Prince Rigel's face was dark with ugly emotions itself. What is more surprising is that Feng Jing's smile didn't disappear, instead, it got brighter as if he heard something extremely funny.
Such an expression just made the latter even more beautiful as his phoenix-shaped eyes narrowed in amusement and his eyes were full of mirth. This isn't obviously one of his usual innocent and silly expressions but something more fitting to someone who is even more unreadable.
Prince Rigel was dumbfounded, 'H-He is smiling!?' Thoughts of the First Prince.
'W-What is this? His smile makes me extremely uncomfortable.' Thoughts of Navi Naja.
Feng Wu's thoughts, 'Ah~ these two would definitely not have a good ending.'
Among everyone in the area who is currently seeing Feng Jing, only a few could read his real emotions. Among the ones in the area, only Feng Wu could understand his lord's current mood. Those who were watching outside the planet were even more stunned as they never expected such expression to appear on someone who is supposed to be a waste. To those who could read the expression, they couldn't help but shudder. This is the smile of a devil.
Outer Space, beyond Planet Citlali's hemisphere.
At Fire Phoenix Battleship, Feng Yang and Feng Ran were rendered speechless and looked at each other's shocked expressions. They also could believe that the little treasure of their family has this kind of personality. Though they knew that he acted adorable and silly for the elders' sake, no one would expect that their little baby happens to become someone this devious.
Feng Yang said, "Ran, do you think those two princes would still be able to come out of this planet alive?"
"…. My Lord… Please don't speak anymore or your crow's mouth would definitely come true," replied Feng Ran, his aide, and right-hand man.
Feng Yang said, "Who had a crow's mouth!? I don't have it. But this… you do think Brother Zenith and Brother Sirius are watching as well right?"
"They… Your Highness and Sire should be watching? Is there a problem?" asked Feng Ran.
Feng Yang, "N-Nothing much. I just wanted to make sure they would help me with the burying of bodies."
"My lord, they would definitely help," said Feng Ran.

At the battleship owned by Crowned King Zenith.
The reaction of the Crowned King and Crowned Queen upon seeing their adorable younger brother's expression.
Feng Yue, the crowned queen said, "My~ it seems like Jingjing would have enough playmates in this competition~"
"Um, I should make the necessary preparations just in case." said the crowned king, Zenith, already picturing the scene of the future where the other Kings and Queen came over to his place to complain. Especially about the First King and the youngest Queen.
The crowned princess was delighted by her husband's words. She knew that no matter what the situation was, her husband would definitely side with her and her family. After all, Regulus Zenith before becoming the crowned king is someone unlovable. He was born with a weak physique and everyone in the palace thought he would die young. At his lowest, Feng Yue and the Feng Clan were the only ones who sided with him. They protected him and cared for him the same way as a real family does.
To Regulus Zenith, it was the Phoenix Clan who sheltered him and gave him the family love that the royal family is supposed to give him. This is why Zenith would always side with the Feng Clan because of this crowned king, it was the Feng Clan that took care of him and treated the cold-blooded royal family as just a tool to protect his family.
Feng Yue happily hugged her husband and gave him kisses, "My husband is the greatest!"
Regulus Zenith joyously accepted the love his wife is giving him. This is the woman who will love the whole Interstellar world. His own family.

White Tiger Unit's Battleship.
Lin Tang and his son, Lin Velvet were silent as they watched the whole scene of their eldest descendant acting without thinking and even talked back towards the royal descendants like the First Prince and the Youngest Prince, Navi Naja. They were about to contact the administrators of the competition to ask Lin Tian and his team to forcefully forfeit when they witnessed their lives being endangered by the descendants of the Empire they are protecting.
Lin Tang with a dark expression ordered his son, "Son. Call the organizers of this team for me. They had installed protective gear on the students just in case they were put in danger right. Ask them to activate A'Tian's protective gear we are forfeiting."
It seems that all participants are given safety gear that would protect their lives from danger but once they've used it they would be considered disqualify or had forfeited from the event. It can only be activated by the student on his own choice which for cases of split-second incoming danger the student had to relay on their own instinct.
Lin Velvet, the father of Lin Tian and Lin Yven, also had an ugly expression on his face. When he saw his eldest son being surrounded and beaten up in such an open way. Moreover, everyone connected to the star network saw the tranny the two princes ordered for this to happen.
"Yes, Father." But before he could even connect his light brain to the Planet's command center, his father stopped him as they saw Feng Jing suddenly appear in front of Lin Tian.
Major General Lin suddenly said, "Hold it. Let's watch for a bit longer."
Anyone could see that Feng Jing's arrival is an unexpected one but for this old general who is famous for his sharp eyes noticing the static split-second pause of his monitoring video whenever Feng Jing is alone or not. Obviously, he had been observing this supposed to be a waste young lord of the Phoenix Clan.
Within the whole Oberion Empire, three authorities stand at the peak and at the same time hold power as well as fame. The Federation, the Regulus Family, and the Altair Family. But within the Oberion Empire, there is a special clan that isn't completely affiliated with any of the three big powers. They might be connected by marriage with the royal family but the married crowned king of the Regulus Family sides more with them instead of the crown.
This family had few generals working for the Federation but they've never integrated themselves deeply with this organization. They stood at Neutral Position. They had a business partnership with the Altair Family but the Altair Family never restricted them and let them do whatever they wanted freely. Moreover, they weren't like any noble clans or family, they did not look down on people with a common background and would righteously sometimes protect the weak.
Major General Lin Tang stayed in the Oberion Empire because he wanted to observe this family. This family with an almost immortal bloodline is still down to earth. Friendly to those they like and cruel to their enemies. The other noble clans considered them aberrant. They were lunatics in their eyes. But everyone can see that this clan considered their family as their topmost priority against anything. The deviant Clan of Phoenix, the Feng Family.
Lin Velvet was startled for a moment when he saw Feng Jing suddenly appearing, "This is… the youngest lord of the Feng Family? How did he get in there?"
"Hm~ you've also didn't noticed? I didn't even see how he did it as well."
"Even father didn't notice him?"
"I think our monitoring channels are being controlled by something. Can you send some to check on it?" said Lin Tang.
Lin Velvet's expression turned serious after hearing this. "Please leave it to me, father." before stepping out to issue some orders to their subordinates.
Major Lin Tang's eyes squinted at the figure of Feng Jing with a solemn expression and mumbled, "I wonder how long you could hide your claws, young phoenix."

Black Star Unit's warship.
Major General Nova Selen was quietly watching everything on her screen. She left most work to her subordinates. This includes them screen some students that are eligible to enter their unit but in the end, she is only here to substitute for her master which is Janus Stellan. Her real orders were different from the rest. The goal she had for coming to this Planet is different from the others.
Her monitoring perspective was only on Feng Jing's team. She is watching Feng Jing and Xue Ran closely under the orders of her master. With an expressionless face on herself, Nova Selen zooms in the camera focusing on Xue Ran and Feng Jing.
"One is to observe while the other is to protect. The Lord's orders are absolute," murmured Nova Selen in silence.

Black Turtle's battleship.
Major General Navi almost suffered from a stroke when he saw Navi Naja cursed Feng Jing to death. Even if Navi Naja has considered a prince thanks the blood of his mother, he is more considered as a Navi Clan's descendant more as his surname is still Navi. But Feng Jing is not only someone from that lunatic clan of Feng but also the brother-in-law of the Crowned King, Regulus Zenith. There is no way Regulus Zenith would forgive Navi Naja even if he is his nephew.
Navi Naja's mother, Queen Aurora is after all only a half-sibling of this crowned king. Between a brother-in-law from the Feng Family and a nephew like Navi Naja with only a quarter of royal blood obviously, the Palace knows which side to choose.
"Send a message to the Palace and tell them about this situation to the First King, his highness Regulus Aera. Moreover, send someone on the planet to protect Naja," ordered General Navi with an ugly and tired expression on his face. "Sigh~ I don't want to believe that a direct descendant of Navi Clan would die because of his loose mouth. I don't care how you do it just make sure to protect Navi Naja."
"Yes, General!"
