Chapter 562: Thirteen steps of gods and devils (1) (2/2)
The walls turn into finely chopped dust with one sword strike from the Sword God
There was only silence and disbelief when they saw that scene.
It wasn't until now that the world truly believes that Sword God was the one that executed that sword light that ended the life of the Emperor of Yong and Zhou
Azief sighed when he was in front of the emptiness that used to be the city walls.
Azief did not want to kill the new young Emperor. Emperor Wen seems like an enlightened Emperor, generous and benevolent and caring about the plight of the common people
Since he came to power, he tries to emulate the conduct of the past wise Emperor so Azief was reluctant to kill him.
There is no great enmity between them and Azief is not some manic killer that kills everything that moves.
The Emperor is so young and Azief would find that it would be in bad taste to kill such a young kid. And he himself is not that angry that the Emperor tries to kill him.
He after all di kill that young man father. It is only reasonable that the son would try to avenge his father.
So Azief chose mercy. He chose mercy because he is powerful.
Only the strong could have ether power to grace a person with mercy.
That has always bene the case.
He did not worry that the Emperor will keep trying to kill him.
In fact, Azief even respected him doing so. Everyone had said that he could kill anyone regardless of where they are and where they are hiding.
But the young Emperor, to avenge his father has risked his life knowing full well that he could have executed another sword strike and kill him on his throne.
Still he perseveres. That is not a quality that Azief detested. It is a quality in a person that Azief find very admirable.
So, instead of prolonging this enmity, Azief gave him advice on how to rule the world, his voice reverberated all over the Imperial city for one hour.
Azief is qualified to give such advice because he used to be an Emperor in one of Azul lives.
He spoke about the state, about governance, about the people, about life and death about prosperity and the trend of time.
His words could be heard by all the scholars of the imperial city and could be heard by the young Emperor inside his Imperial Palace
When he was done lecturing, he and his disciple leaves the cit. even Xi Feng and the Three Devils of Han did not think that this would end like this.
The Sword God did not kill the young Emperor instead lecture about the world and the path of Emperors.
The Emperor Wen is said to marvel at the content of the words that comes out from the mouth of the Sword god.
As the Sword God and the Sword Demon and the Three Devils left the imperial city, no soldiers seem to be coming out again to fight them
The Emperor cancel his orders to pursue him and he could finally go down to the river that one said the most beautiful in this continent.
