Chapter 65: Return to the Capital_1
"Your Highness, it has been confirmed that after King Gaoyang took control of the Imperial Capital, he issued an order to seal off the inner palace. There have been no signs of misconduct!"
In the Imperial Palace, Qin Wudao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Jia Xu’s report.
The imperial harem was the Emperor’s exclusive domain. If anything went wrong, it could lead to bloody turmoil; after all, an emperor’s wrath could result in millions of corpses.
"Has King Gaoyang been found?"
Once he was assured of the safety of the inner palace, Qin Wudao asked.
"Your Highness, the Hidden Guard found King Gaoyang’s body at a cliff three hundred miles east of the Imperial Capital. They also discovered millions of corpses beneath the cliff!"
Jia Xu answered solemnly.
Qin Wudao’s gaze hardened, a potent killing intent flaring in his eyes. Millions murdered in just a few days! This King Gaoyang deserves death by a thousand cuts!
To put it in perspective, even when the Qin Dynasty resisted the Holy Fire Sect’s invasion and pursued them to Demonfire City, the number of soldiers sacrificed did not exceed one million.
But then, an even greater question arose. How did King Gaoyang die? Suicide? Or was he murdered?
