Chapter 493 Sword of the Emperor (2/2)

Shen Lian brushed out from the school light as smoke. He wanted to take the opportunity of Lei Jing's slumber to travel around Diqiu. Actually, Diqiu had many hidden secrets but the average person dared not investigate these secrets. Or rather it could be said that those who dared to investigate do not exist anymore.

Because of the major event that had happened this morning, Diqiu's security became very strict. But in actual fact, this was the moment when Shen Lian was like a duck in the water.

In the account of Emperor Xia who was angered by the incident, all chancellors were gathered and were having their morning audience with the emperor. The core strength of Xia Kingdom was assembled within the Xia Palace. Regardless whether it was the clan leaders of the twelve aristocrat families, or the other chancellors, or even the monks from the Xuanzhen Hall or the Da Jue Temple, all of them chose their own spots in the hall and dared not make a peep.

Xia Kingdom was the center of the Netherworld, even the Asura Clan within the blood-red Asura Sea could not deny this fact. This was because the ancestors, great-grandfather, and grandfather of Emperor Xia used their fists to brutally have them admit that.

As for Emperor Xia's father, he had not even been the Emperor for a day before he died out of a blue.

No one knew how Emperor Xia's father passed away but rumor had it that the current Emperor Xia once said that he did not wish to become the prince-consort even just for a day.

It was rare for Emperor Xia's words to not be honored.

The current Emperor Xia intimidates those around him. When he became the emperor, there was not a day in Xia Kingdom that the war stopped and Xia Kingdom's authority had never been this profound in all places.

Most of the countries such as the Northern Barbarians, Eastern Barbarians, Southern Barbarians and Western Barbarians, also known asfor visiting.

Furthermore, there were envoys from different countries in Diqiu. When the news of this matter spread out, Diqiu would naturally become the butt of the joke.

At this moment, Emperor Xia's face was expressionless but from the looks of it, the volcano within him would erupt any moment. There was a huge pillar extending from the ground to high above the ceiling in the middle of the main hall. Yinglong was sitting on top of the pillar and it was dozing off with its eyes closed.

When Emperor Xia was in a foul mood, only Yinglong would dare to be in a good mood.

Everyone else did not share Yinglong's good mood as they were shaking. They dared not lift their heads and did not even dare to lower their heads too much.

Emperor Xia eyes swept through his chancellors and said, ”Useless, all of you are useless.”

Every blue stone and glazed tile within Xia Palace reverberated the angry voice of Emperor Xia and did not subside for a very long time.

”Come out, Lei Nuo.” Emperor Xia simply pointed and pointed towards his own brother-in-law, which was the Prefect Grand Usher who was standing behind Lei Hong, the Youhu's clan leader.

Lei Nuo groaned inwardly as he said, ”I am here, my king.”

Emperor Xia looked deeply at Lei Nuo and he slowly began, ”What is the matter with you? I ordered you to investigate that person's tracks. Not only did you failed to do so, you allowed him to display his demonic tricks under my nose.”

Lei Nuo immediately knelt down and exclaimed, ”A thousand deaths will not atone for my crime.” He truly understood Emperor Xia's temper. If he had reported to the king from the beginning then he would have been fine. Now, if he were to reveal just about anything related to Shen Lian's matter, not only did he have to face the destruction of the Prohibition within his body, he would also need to face the punishment of the enraged Emperor Xia.

This was because Emperor Xia could never tolerate people who lied to him. Since he had decided to keep it a secret from the beginning, he could only take this secret to his grave.

He could only continuously kowtow. The blue stone within the main halls was broken by his kowtow and fresh blood pooled the floor.

Lei Hong looked on as his son suffered and he could not bear the sight at all. He stepped out of line and said, ”It is my incompetence in teaching my son, please deal with me too, my king.”
