113 Soaring Cloud Signal 4 (1/2)
The entire Rui Lin Army was mobilised!
Wasn't the wide span of flickering torch throughout the city a show of the Rui Lin Army's complete control of the Imperial City?
”Jun Wu Xie! What is the meaning of this!?” Mo Xuan Fei shouted, standing behind the Emperor, unable to believe the scene before him.
Jun Wu Xie raised her head, under the flickering torchlight, her beauty was breathtaking, except her eyes, which emanated merciless murder.
”The Lin Palace, has under the orders of His Majesty, pursued the culprits who attacked the Second Prince.” Jun Wu Xie replied coldly.
”What nonsense are you spouting!” Mo Xuan Fei stared at Jun Wu Xie with an incredulous expression.
The attack on the Second Prince happened some time ago. The matter was handed to Jun Xian to investigate, but to no avail and everyone had almost forgotten about it.
”The Lin Palace has carried out your orders and executed the culprits.” Jun Wu Xie ignored the outburst from Mo Xuan Fei, her flaming eyes locked onto the lone figure in the dragon robe.
With that statement, the Rui Lin Army soldiers piled hundred of mangled corpses before the gates, their blood still flowing, staining the ground with scarlet pools.
The acrid stench from the pile of bodies wafted with the breeze, filled the air. The whole scene caused the air to feel heavy.
Upon seeing the bodies' dark clothes, the Emperor and Mo Xuan Fei were taken aback.
”These were the assassins that attacked the Second Prince. My grandfather gave orders to apprehend them, and they attempted to annihilate the Lin Palace. In retaliation. I had them all executed.” Jun Wu Xie explained as she coldly looked up where the Emperor and Mo Xuan Fei stood. Other than Mo Xuan Fei and Bai Yun Xian, there were no other witnesses. Only they knew that it was not a group of assassins as claimed, but a single person. Jun Wu Xie knew that it was just a lone Jun Wu Yao.
