Eps. 290 — Fate of Qilin Empire
"Is everything you reported true, if you lie to me then your head will be floating right now?!"
"Your Majesty, I don't have the courage to lie, Elder Yang Tian and Elder Xiao brothers are indeed dead..."
Two days passed after Jian Chen killed the three pillars of the Qilin Empire, the news was already heard by the Qilin Emperor who was in his palace.
The Qilin Emperor was conducting a large meeting on his throne when suddenly a warrior came and reported what had happened to the Elders who were sent to the Dragon Empire.
The soldier was the only survivor of the massacre Jian Chen had committed, he then reported everything he saw to His Highness the Qilin Emperor.
Of course the news was too shocking to even be unbelievable but after seeing the soldier who reported him was a high-ranking soldier, it was difficult to tell him a lie.
The Qilin Emperor regulated his breath that began to hunt, trying to stabilize his emotions to calm down but still the news of his three Elders being killed really shocked him.
Not only was the Qilin Emperor shocked, the other Elders in the meeting room were similarly shocked when they heard him. No one had ever expected their comrades to be buried there for good.
Not only were three Elders killed but according to the soldier's story, the dozens of Celestial Realm warriors who followed were also killed at the same time and place.
"Who killed him, how could Elder Tian be killed just like that?" One of the Elders did not hold out to ask directly.
"That's..." The soldier hesitated to say it but in the end he reported the actual incident that they were all killed by the same person.
The Qilin Emperor was instantly dumbfounded as well as the other Elders pillars, the information completely shook their souls.
The Qilin Emperor, who was the number one hero in his empire would have a hard time fighting Yang Tian and the Two Xiao brothers at once, even if he managed to kill all three of the Qilin Emperors were sure one of his hands or feet would be a victim.
"The strength of Yang Tian and the others is not too far below me, if he can kill him then he will be a formidable opponent for me..." The Qilin Emperor clenched his hands hard, clearly the situation was not what he had imagined.
According to the soldier, the person who committed the murder of three of his elders was a warrior who looked dozens of years old, handsome and had golden eyes
The soldier was slightly goosebumps when recalling the incident of his comrades being massacred by Jian Chen, the man's golden eyes were actually very beautiful but when the massacre incident he did, his golden eyes became even colder and scarier.
The Qilin Emperor was silent for a moment, seeming to think hard. Before the report from the soldier there was actually another news that was no less surprising to him.
The spies he sent to the Dragon Emperor's palace had not sent word for the past few days when usually the number two assassin would report what happened to him every day.
Not to mention he heard that the Dragon Waves Pirates had vanished in the middle of the sea.
Initially the Qilin Emperor did not pay much heed to the news because it was assumed that they had only lost contact of its existence but after this news he was sure both the Waves Dragon Pirates and their spies had been killed as well.
"Actually who is he?"
Generally a high-level swordsman was always known by the crowd but the young man who killed his three Elders was clearly a mysterious swordsman hiding in the empire.
"Your Imperial Majesty, how are your next plans, the killing of Elder Yang and the Xiao brothers is clearly done by an unusual swordsman, are we going to continue this war?" Ask the other pillar elders.
Out of the ten strongest heroes in the Qilin empire, Yang Tian occupied the fifth position, he was also the second strongest elder among the other Elders. If Yang Tian could be killed just like that in the Dragon Empire then the other Elders would have the same fate if the war would still occur.
The Qilin Emperor closed his eyes for a moment before finally opening his eyes slowly, "We have been preparing for this imperial war for a long time, it should not be an easy matter. If when the war comes, I will face it..."
The Qilin Emperor had already rounded his resolve to take control of the Dragon Empire, his concern for the empire was becoming more and more real with the existence of a powerful figure like Jian Chen.
If it continued to be left for so long then the power of the Dragon Empire would truly rival that of the Qilin Empire could even be more.
One thing the soldier told him along with other occurrences was that the mysterious swordsman had a relationship with the Miou clan or rather their association.
The Qilin Emperor had already obtained information regarding the association, from what he knew, not only did they provide various resource pills but had hidden power.
Upon thinking again everything was reasonable and interconnected, the swordsman who was spying on the Dragon Emperor was killed after there was a report relating to the association, the official said, not to mention the Dragon Waves pirate also vanished in the ocean while trying to kill one of his higher-ups.
Given that the three Elders were harassing the Miou clan then it was no wonder they also had to deal with the mysterious swordsman.
As long as the Qilin Emperor took wise choices and did not offend the association then there was a chance that the mysterious swordsman would not act.
One thing that still made the Qilin Emperor wonder until now was regarding the pill recipe that the Miou clan association had made.
That pill recipe was clearly a high-efficiency resource, even in the Qilin empire even if no one could make it, strangely enough that pill making could exist in a small empire like the Dragon Empire.
The Qilin Emperor thought that there was another mastermind behind the Miou clan Association, perhaps an alchemist who came from the disguised Phoenician empire considering that there was a powerful swordsman inside. If that really happened then the situation was more serious than he expected.
The meeting ended sooner than it should, some Elders along with others immediately left the room except for the Qilin Emperor.
After everything had completely left and the Qilin Emperor was alone then there was a sepuh man who suddenly appeared in void space.
The old man was wearing a golden robe, looking luxurious and dignified with his gray hair and beard, while his strength could not be compared to even the Qilin Emperor.
The Qilin Emperor immediately knelt before him, that old man who was none other than his real father who had been reported dead by the outside world and deliberately faked his death.
The strength of that old man was no longer in the realm of the King Realm, if one looked at it in more detail then they would feel the pent-up great power of that old man.
