Chapter 2146: Chapter 2146: Directly Annihilated
The Eunuch Supervisor responded and then retreated. Shortly after, a guard followed and entered.
The guard had traveled for many days, his face pale and his appearance disheveled. Both his eyes looked lifeless. Upon seeing the Emperor of Beikun, he knelt down with a ‘thump’.
“This humble official pays respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live in peace and prosperity.”
“You came from Gui Ting Manor. What kind of powerful figures have the Yiinn Family called upon to support them? How did it end up with everyone else killed except for you?” the Emperor of Beikun coldly stared at the guard and asked.
That bloodthirsty glint in his eyes seemed as though, should the guard speak what he did not wish to hear, he might have his throat slit at once.
“Your Majesty, news of the Yiinn Family’s near annihilation reached the people of Wulong Mountain. The one who came to support the Yiinn Family was the High Priest Demon Heart of the Demon Heart Hall,” replied the guard.
The pallor on the guard’s face could not mask his frightened expression and the dull, lightless look in his eyes.
If it were not for the need to have someone come and report back, his life would probably no longer exist. The High Priest Demon Heart is truly cruel; after Gui Sihu confessed, he was immediately exterminated.
In Gui Ting Manor, ninety percent of the people were eradicated. The blood, it flowed everywhere.
“What did you say?”
The Emperor of Beikun suddenly stood up from his seat, disbelievingly staring at the guard.
Had he heard wrong? What kind of existence is the High Priest Demon Heart? Far busier than he as the Emperor of Beikun Kingdom. How could she personally come into the planes to support such a minor clan like the Yiinn Family?
The law of the jungle is a principle well understood by everyone; it’s normal for the Yiinn Family, with their waning strength, to be replaced by others.
“Nonsense! How could the High Priest Demon Heart possibly come into the planes? Those people are liars, all of them are liars! As a guard of the Beikun Kingdom, how could you have believed those deceivers? This is utterly preposterous!”
He couldn’t believe it; how could the Yiinn Family with just those three lame soldiers possibly invite the High Priest Demon Heart?
Is it possible that a few strong individuals have been set up inside to intentionally use the name of the High Priest Demon Heart to cause trouble? After all, who wouldn’t yield at the mention of the High Priest of the Demon Heart Hall?
“That old immortal Yiinn Wanli, he dreams of leveraging the name of the Demon Heart Hall to make a comeback!”
He would certainly not allow Yiinn Wanli to succeed. It’s just about having stronger figures, right? There are plenty of powerful figures maintained within the Beikun Imperial Palace. Sending a few over would surely suffice to directly exterminate Yiinn Wanli.
“I should have killed that old immortal back then, it would have spared me from his delusions even now!” he said fiercely.
Killing all the adults of the Yiinn Family, leaving only the two young ones. Raising them for a few more years would be enough, as all past affairs would be forgotten, and they could then be useful to him.
He really regretted, if only he had known…
Even if he had agreed, the other two emperors, who only wish for chaos under the heavens, would not have consented to him keeping those two children.
Moreover, two children would not be enough for the Three Kingdoms to share. Initially, their disagreement benefited Yiinn Wanli, preventing them from directly exterminating him.
“Your Majesty, those people, they really are led by the High Priest Demon Heart. They… are very formidable.” The guard, hearing the Emperor of Beikun’s words, quickly voiced an explanation.
He had witnessed firsthand how ruthless those people were, quick to kill at the slightest contradiction.
And their strength was indeed formidable; he had seen those powerful figures maintained within the royal family before.
