Chapter 63: Rebellion_1
From a mountain about a hundred miles away from Demonfire City, Qin Wudao, along with Jia Xu and Zhao Yun, witnessed the entire battle.
Without power, one doesn’t even qualify to join the fray!
Looking at the city reduced to ruins, Qin Wudao was overcome with emotion, realizing once again the importance of strength.
Is the Qin Empire strong? Not weak, exactly. But because of a single statement from the Changeable Mansion, they had to abandon the fruits of victory, leave tens of thousands of corpses behind, and retreat disgracefully. The root cause is still a lack of strength. The Holy Fire Sect is weak, which is why the Qin cavalry was able to march all the way to Demonfire City, resulting in the fall of their ancestor and the heavy sacrifice of their soldiers. Compared to the Changeable Mansion, however, the Qin Empire appears very weak.
"Your Highness, I have no doubt that you will lead the Qin Empire to greatness!" Jia Xu reassured him. He wasn’t greatly moved, having witnessed far too many instances of big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimp. To survive in chaotic times, one must learn to adapt. The best solution is to become stronger.
Qin Wudao nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sound cutting through the air. A Luo Network Guard flew over and knelt on one knee, reporting, "Your Highness, the King of Gaoyang has revolted and seized control of the Imperial Capital! His Majesty summons you to return immediately to discuss pressing matters!"
"What?"
Three astonished exclamations sounded. Qin Wudao, Jia Xu, and Bai Qi all looked grave.
The King of Gaoyang!
His real name is Qin Zhuangze. He holds a high position in the Qin Family and is the Emperor’s uncle. His fief is Gaoyang. He usually keeps a low profile and has never been prominent. Why would he rebel?
Without time for further thought, Qin Wudao shot into the air, his heart filled with anxiety. His biological mother, Willow Orchid, was still in the Imperial Capital. If anything happened to her, he would never find peace.
