Legend of the Ruler Sword
60. I'm Back Already, My Dear Brother.

"Report Master, Jili was decapitated in front of the well."

"What did you say?" the question was to ascertain whether he had heard wrongly or not.

"When I came out earlier found Jili had been decapitated," he said again.

The aura of anger emanating from the demon god, Jili or the cloaked person whom he had assigned to take life energy had now been killed. Jili was one of his subordinates who was quite great and smart in hiding their headquarters all along. Of course the demon god could not take Jili's death for granted.

"Who dares to kill my subordinates?!" the sound was heard with a jolt full of horror.

"It's definitely not an ordinary person who can defeat Jili easily, fearing that person would also already suspect our headquarters."

"Find out who he is, if you've met just kill him!"

"Good sir."

"Find Jili's replacement as well as a new place, no one should know of my whereabouts because my plan to appear is not now."

"Okay sir," said the loyal subordinate.

"Then what about Qiu Yue? Is he going to ascend the throne, and give me more sweet blood?"

Every month Qiu Yue would send out a tumblr for the demon god, the collision came from slaves and people who he said he would make servants in the palace tepati instead he brought to the demon god to drink his blood there is also some energy taken into his life like citizens villages.

"Maybe it won't be long to ascend the throne, just waiting a matter of days."

"Good, go!"

"Good sir."

Black Hanfu was now installed on Bai An's body, the imperial hanfu made Bai An look dashing. Actually it was the clothes that he was supposed to wear, being part of the empire even inheriting it, Bai An had the right to it.

A heavy sigh shot out, as soon as his eyes caught the spacious building that was the meeting hall. The hall was where the ranks of palace officials faced the emperor to report problems or just regular meetings. Whatever happens, it must be reported to the emperor as to the workings of the empire.

In front of the meeting hall was a group of high-level soldiers guarding, indicating that there was a meeting inside the hall. Bai An's steps were intercepted as soon as he had already approached the entrance of the meeting hall. Bai An showed his identification, making the soldier salute Bai An immediately.

Bai An opened the big door easily, leaving the people inside who were having a meeting shocked. Some of those who were new and did not know who Bai An was were were naturally looking at the man with wondering gazes, whereas those who already knew who Bai An was giving off their shocked gazes.

Bai An walked confidently past the ranks of the palace officials and ministers who were lined up neatly. Qiu Yue clenched her hands as soon as she saw the person she hated so much that today came.

"How's fifth brother doing? Don't you miss me?" he said it as he walked, echoing in the hall and causing whispers from palace officials.

Now that Bai An had reached the stairs leading to the imperial seat, he climbed up the stairs and was now standing beside Qiu Yue.

"I miss the imperial atmosphere so much, I seem to have now decided to stay here again, what do you think eunuch Li?" Bai An now straightened his gaze at Eunuch Li.

This eunuch Li was a person belonging to Qiu Yue, he used to be a private eunuch serving Qiu Yue. But after the emperor became ill, Qiu Yue made eunuch Li an imperial eunuch and made a slander for the previous eunuchs in order to get rid of. The role of the eunuch is very important, as the right hand of the emperor and will only be loyal to the emperor, not others.

"Of course the Prince, we are all delighted to see the 19th Prince now back again." despite his upset heart but eunuch Li covered him with a smile as sweetly as possible, he said, he had to pretend as well in front of the entire palace officials.

"Fifth brother is also happy, isn't he, your brother is now back?" bai An asked with a sneer.

Qiu Yue nodded, the annoyance he felt that he put away first because he also did not want the palace officials to know about it, "Welcome, Brother. I'm glad you're back."

"Honor the nineteenth prince." that eunuch Li's remark made everyone bow down as a sign of respect.

"Honor the 19th Prince, welcome back to the empire" officials said in unison.

Bai An smiled looking at that, he put his lips closer to Qiu Yue's ears, while speaking softly. "I'll take back what's rightfully mine, you can only take it for a little while my dear brother."
