1364 Treasure, Here We Come! 2 (1/2)

How did the Dark Emperor die? And who was it that killed him?

No one had a certain answer to those questions.

The was once a rumour in the Middle Realm that said that a portion of the powers in the MIddle Realm had been unhappy with the Dark Emperor's reign and they had colluded together and employed some insidious methods to murder the Dark Emperor.

But that rumour had not been widely believed.

For if that had been true, with the kind of absolute loyalty the Night Regime held towards the Dark Emperor, it was impossible that they would not be able to determine who the culprits were through a thorough investigation. If it had really been certain factions among the powers in the Middle Realm who murdered the Dark Emperor, it won't just be the Night Regime, but the entire Dark Regions would have been up in arms and would not have spared them. It would have resulted in an highly insane revenge.

But after the Dark Emperor fell, the Dark Regions had instead secluded into themselves and not carried out any acts of vengeance.

It was hard for people to imagine that the people of the Dark Regions would be able to tolerate such an act if it had been true as even after the Dark Emperor fell, anyone who spoke ill of the Dark Emperor would still be eradicated, what's more for the culprit behind the murder.

The fact that the Dark Regions had not made any moves at all only made all the whole thing even more suspicious.

Within the Dark Emperor's tomb, highly lifelike stone murals could be seen everywhere. For the group of youths who had heard so much about the Dark Emperor, they could not help but be irresistibly drawn to all their contents where they could seemingly see the one man who had stood at the pinnacle of the Middle Realm a very very long time ago.

Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao walked side by side within the Dark Emperor's tomb, the unimaginably heavy stone doors seemingly light as a feather under Jun Wu Yao's hands.

Jun Wu Yao's eyes did not fall much upon the things decorating the Dark Emperor's tomb but were on Jun Wu Xie most of the time instead, as if all those that glittered and shone around him, was not as worthy of his attention as a strand of hair upon Jun Wu Xie.

Jun Wu Xie looked at Jun Wu Yao who had a smile upon his face, that impeccably handsome countenance that had become so highly familiar to her. With him at her side, everything just became so simple.
