Emperor's Death

The voice in the darkness echoed.

"Give me the next one, Han!"

"Good sir, please!"

"What about the boy?"

"He's having problems with his adaptation."

"Hahaha, I've guessed. An unlucky child who usually whines will not produce anything. Why is he so naive, thinking if telling his legends it will stop me, HAHAHAHAHA!"

In a distant place, the darkness grew stronger and stronger lurking the peace of the Yan empire.

"You are always right, sir" said his right hand with a terrible smile.

"Hahhh..hahh.I'm tired of teachers!"

Prangs!

"Ck, how can you reach tier 9 cultivation if you continue this way. Fu Province required that the cultivation gate library guest not die upon entering it. The place was inhabited by many spiritual spirits who were also cultivating. Don't underestimate this!"

"That means..hahh, there are many high-level Wanquan huh?"

"Hm, but most are old because the requirement of the ability to grow fast is prohibited from using ageless techniques."

Qixuan who was Kazuki's opponent smiled lightly. The young man's energy was much weaker than he expected.

'It thickens his face!' kazuki's inner voice was slurred.

"Jing sensei, is there no way to become stronger more easily and briefly?" kazuki asked, Instructor Jing fell silent for a moment.

"There's."

"Huh, is there a sensei?!" Kazuki got up quickly.

"If you manage to tame the immortal dragon sword in the Jade Valley, then all of this will be younger. Decades of training will be possible within a year." Kazuki immediately heard the good news.

"But other than its location is very far away, and as the name suggests the sword is guarded by a dragon that has existed since thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago. If you go there, there will be thousands of adventurers who are also aiming for his sword. So far no one has managed to reach out to the Immortal Dragon sword. The sword was made by the spirits of ancient cultivators who sacrificed their lives while using the weapon to fight and confine Seizen in the lower realms. So even if you can touch it, not necessarily the sword will bow to you."

"The sword will be far more trash than your current sword. Plus the issue of the adventurers saying that the sword is blunt."

"Huh, blunt, then why is it called a sword, not a punching device." Instructor Jing simply stared flatly at Kazuki.

"Alright, I am determined to take that sword alone rather than practicing endless exhausting!" Kazuki as a ninja.

Emperor Gaozo was with concubine Wang to spend the night with the concubine's residence. Unwittingly by the Emperor who was already drunk after finishing a bottle of wine he drank another glass of wine which was already mixed with the deadly poison Meridian by concubine Wang, the woman was still very conscious and almost laughed out loud when she saw the emperor collapsing.

He immediately summoned his two confidants to bring the emperor to the designated place. His hand played his dagger made of sharp white jade. A smile of satisfaction could not disappear from his lips.

"This is all your own fault, Emperor. If only you had played more carefully with me all your harmonious families would not have me destroy, hahaha!"

The cold night atmosphere, the cool breeze blew along the spiritual aura of Emperor Yan Gaozo who disappeared slowly leaving his body. The great imperial leading man had actually died under the moonlight that gently shone on every part of him. Cultivation of many years was unable to save him. Died in the hands of his own wife who has a grudge against him and his family. There were no shadow guards, no one sided with him when an inciting remark came out from the mouth. Every word can control, and every story can sweep away. The concubine instigated the entire shadow guard to be on her side, the inner palace guard completely cracked as the government feared.

The next day the inhabitants of the empire in a scene with the news of the death of Emperor Gaozo, the Emperor was found lying on the open air ground, there was no trace of attack visible, so we can be sure the culprit is most likely an insider. All the inhabitants of the Empire, especially the capital Yan, suddenly mourned for 100 days. No more celebrations, no more announcements. The rightful Empress Xiang ascended the throne while delaying all feasts, celebrations, anniversaries the next hundred days. And if anyone transgresses, they will be punished. The inner palace was so grieving let alone the princesses and princes. All activities other than economic and defense-related in the Yan empire were in a temporary lull.

The funeral was made with a heart-wrenching procession, Fangyin's daughter bowed one last time to her late father with crystal-clear tears falling unstoppably. Her heart was so sore when she heard the news this morning from a servant finding her father's stiff body plus her trauma. Then the imperial envoys immediately reported the news to all corners of the Yan empire.

"Why do you have to go at this time. Why did my father die. This princess will not let the emperor's father's assassins have any fun over this. This princess was going to look for the culprit and-" Her brother Qiaofeng immediately hugged the sister tightly which sobbed pitifully.

The rain fell that morning with great sadness as if to lead the Emperor to his final rest. Kazuki and the prime minister were also present wearing simple black clothes. Because in the time of mourning of the imperial family, no one is allowed to wear colored clothes other than black and white. It is also forbidden to wear fancy jewelry.

"Dad is calm there now. Don't worry Meimei. Qiao Jiejie will stay together, Meimei must be strong. It won't be easy but Meimei Yi is my best Meimei strong!" Fangyin's daughter's sobs were getting louder. The sound of the rain growing more and more densely disguised that deep sadness. His clothes were soaked but did not change the incident, he remained in front of the Emperor's coffin.

Kazuki stared at the imperial family including the emperor's concubines who looked sad. Except for the one figure Kazuki saw was only silent with his flat face staring at princess Yi. She could faintly see that the concubine was just silent and did not seem to cry, but she slightly lowered her head as if sad.

'Is she concubine Wang?' Not without reason this young man concluded so, but as the Prime Minister said if concubine Wang rather problematic. Like that one concubine.

"Kazuki, the matters of the empire will now become more complicated," Mr. Longwei told him.

Kazuki nodded in understanding with an expressionless face. He looks at things that might happen in the future. Maybe not as smooth as he expected.

"I understand Longwei's father very well." The Prime Minister smiled seeing the young man's reaction. Mr. Longwei patted Kazuki's shoulder as if calming him down.

'I feel bad for it, ' Inner Kazuki.
