Chapter 275
Chapter 275
Hearing Hyrk's words any hope to find a faction of the Hyeran Clan that was loyal to the Revgen Empire disappeared .
After all, anyone who didn't accept the mark on the soul would be forcefully enslaved or would be directly killed . If even Hyrk, who was a weakling in the eyes of a Sage Rank expert like the head of the Hyeran Clan, was tortured personally by the clan head, it was difficult to think that anyone stronger than him could be saved at that moment .
As for those of a status similar to Hyrk, no one believed that they were alive because it was already a miracle that Hyrk had had enough will force to endure the enslavement attempt, and even on that case, he was only alive because the clan head of the Hyeran Clan wanted to use him to harm the Imperial Family .
If Yale hadn't been in the Imperial Palace at that moment, Hyrk would have died together with almost all the Imperial Family . Moreover, the reasons for the death would be the poison that was difficult to detect from the corpses and even if it was detected it was impossible to know how that poison originated .
Thus, even if the people suspected of the Hyeran Clan due to Hyrk going to the Imperial Palace, the Hyeran Clan could just say that Hyrk was a traitor who planned to harm the Imperial Family and that he had already been expelled from the Hyeran Clan . Of course, if the Imperial family tried to blame them for not stopping Hyrk, they would just say that they put him into a jail, but he managed to escape stealing an unknown poison that was found in some ruins by an elder of the clan .
The Hyeran Clan had meticulously planned everything, but they didn't know that the most fearsome existence of the ancient era had reincarnated and was at the Imperial Palace when Hyrk reached the gates, destroying all their plans .
"It seems that the only alive member of the Hyeran Clan that is still on our side is Hyrk . "
Yale sighed because although was happy that Hyrk was safe and wasn't a traitor, the fact that they had lost the whole Hyeran Clan was akin to losing a bit part of the strength of the Revgen Empire, and at the same time, the True Empire had obtained that strength .
"We definitely lost the Hyeran Clan, but you also eradicated all the traitor members of the Larken Clan, so they had also lost a lot of people . Now, more than bothering with the Hyeran Clan we should think about the other three clans . We must clean them from traitors before the traitors obtain the control of them . "
Revgen completely abandoned any thought of dealing with the Hyeran Clan because doing that would be an open war and then the other three noble clans would be in danger . Moreover, he wasn't able to estimate how many civilians would die in such clash, so he wanted to avoid a war until obtaining the full support of all the other noble clans .
If the other four noble clans with the Imperial Family attacked the Hyeran Clan without any advice, the loses would be diminished a lot .
After all, Revgen wasn't like Yale because as the emperor of the Revgen Empire, Revgen cared about his subjects, so as long as saving them wouldn't provoke even more problems to the Revgen Empire, Revgen would try to save them . Of course, the traitors weren't included in that, anyone who had accepted the soul mark of the True Empire was considered an enemy by Revgen .
On the other hand, Revgen wanted to help the enslaved people to reincarnate with the help of Yale's sword . Those people refused to join the True Empire and ended with a life worse than death due to that and Revgen pitied them . After all, it was unreasonable expecting that everyone would be able to endure the pain of being enslaved no matter how loyal they were .
"Wait, Your Highness said that Yale eradicated all the traitors inside the Larken Clan, is that true?"
Hyrk hadn't heard of Yale's true identity, so even after seeing how strong Yale's healing powers were, he couldn't believe that Yale was able to such a feat .
"Indeed, there was even a Sage Rank member of the Larken Clan who died at his hands . You are underestimating him too much . "
Revgen replied to Hyrk politely, but he felt like if he was speaking with an illiterate bumpkin .
"How?"
Hyrk couldn't understand how Yale killed a Sage Rank expert because even if Yale was far stronger than Hyrk himself, Yale couldn't be someone capable of killing people at the level of the clan head of the Hyeran Clan, who had beaten Hyrk mercilessly while he wasn't even able to defend himself from the beating .
Revgen sighed before replying . It was normal that Hyrk didn't know anything about Yale, but in Revgen's mind Yale was someone who couldn't be underestimated even after reincarnation, so Revgen disliked the lack of trust Hyrk had on Yale . After all, Nurvey trusted Yale even without knowing his true identity; for Revgen that difference in insight judging people was very important .
"He is the reincarnation of the ancestor of the Larken Clan, the Zhan Clan, and the Kurk Clan . In terms of seniority, he is position is even higher than mine . Killing a Sage Rank brat? In the past, he could kill them as easy as breathing!"
The Sage Rank was the pinnacle for most people as very few knew about Law Masters and higher levels, but the difference of power between a Law Master with only one law and a Sage Rank expert was too high .
Moreover, Yale's past life was a Law God in three laws, so he had been far stronger than a Law Masters of only one law, so it was indeed true that he could kill people at the Sage Rank as easy as breathing .
In fact, even though Revgen hadn't reached such a fearsome level like Yale's previous life, killing someone at the Sage Rank wasn't difficult for him, but he couldn't do it as easy as breathing .
However, Revgen didn't want to expose himself, and he believed that the True Empire had some powerful backing, or they wouldn't dare to attack the Revgen Empire .
Moreover, usually experts at Revgen's level only act in a critical moment or to attack others of similar power because for them massacring experts who weren't Law Masters was far too easy, and usually, neither side wanted to have everyone in their side was massacred unilaterally by a super expert .
Even though the True Empire wanted to enslave all the people of the Revgen Empire, the only ones that acted were all under the Law Master level; if the background that Revgen believed that the True Empire possessed would have acted, almost all the people of the Revgen Empire would be killed quickly .
Hyrk opened his mouth in shock, but he didn't say anything as he was scared to death after hearing Yale's identity, especially when remembered how initially in the Special Realm, he didn't want Yale in his group .
"Revgen, stop useless explanations to Hyrk . My identity isn't the important here . We must decide our next action . Personally, I think that the Tofesh Clan isn't an important target in the short term because they could still obtain a lot of weapons with people infiltrated in the clan . Thus, I doubt that the traitors would act against them as long as there isn't any sign of the Tofesh Clan discovering the existence of traitors inside their clan . "
Revgen and Nurvey nodded as they also thought the same about the Tofesh Clan .
"As for the Zhan Clan, they wanted to kill me, and although I doubt that the clan head has joined the True Empire, the True Zhan Clan faction had a lot of power in the Zhan Clan . Acting against them would be difficult right now . Thus, I believe that we should start with the Kurk Clan . "
Yale needed to create the Space Bloodline, and he thought that the method of absorbing bloodlines would work well, and there were a lot of traitors that could be killed .
Moreover, Kermu was in the Kurk Clan, and he had a high position inside the Clan, so speaking with them would be far easier than doing it with the other two noble clans .
Nurvey nodded quickly to Yale's suggestion because she also wanted to start with the Kurk Clan .
"Kermu and Serka are there . "
After saying that, Nurvey noticed that Yale didn't understand it well, so he added two more words .
"Already married . "
It wasn't weird being married at their ages and less when both had been engaged since kids and loved each other . Moreover, the faction of Serka in the Zhan Clan wasn't in a good moment, so it was good for her to go to live in the Kurk Clan with Kermu .
"Then, let's start with the Kurk Clan . Nurvey, pass an order to the elders to close the Imperial Palace, no one is allowed to enter or exit . We should give the Hyeran Clan the impression that we are hiding the harm to the Imperial Family due to the poison on Hyrk's body . Also, increase the security in the portals to all the clans except the Larken Clan . "
