Chapter 720 - 719: Convinced
"Thank you, Master~" In the Eunuch’s Grand Hall, Tyler Nash exuded a chilling aura after successfully forming his Solidifying Pill. He was incredibly excited, having never expected to solidify his pill so quickly and thus joining the ranks of true cultivators.
"Giggle, this is your reward. In a few days, your master will go to the Immortal Mansion, and when I do, you’ll come with me," said the old eunuch with a smile.
"Yes." Tyler Nash bowed deeply to the ground. He had now gained the old eunuch’s approval, and as long as he continued to endure, the day would come when he would soar to great heights and astonish everyone. By then, the old eunuch would die, and everyone else would perish too.
Even the Emperor’s throne, he too would fancy a sit. So what if he’s a eunuch? Could a eunuch not become the Emperor? Once he had the old eunuch’s cultivation level, what would it matter if he was Emperor?
Meanwhile, these days, the Capital City was bustling with activity. Although the old Emperor had died, the new, young Emperor had ascended the throne and proclaimed a general amnesty. Among those honored, Higgins King was appointed as the Admonitory King on the left, assisting the young Emperor, granting him immense authority. Even though he was not the Emperor, the decrees he issued were comparable to those of the Emperor himself.
Of course, the hottest spot in the Capital City was a place called Vegetable Market, where people were executed daily, including the impeached Prime Minister Lincoln Wilkinson and his family.
Lincoln Wilkinson was a senior official; his daughter was the Empress, and Isaac Wilkinson held considerable military power. Unfortunately, the Wilkinson Family had ambitions to control the kingdom and puppeteer the young Emperor, but the royal clergy disagreed, and so did the Lopez Family’s elders. Thus, the Wilkinson Family was executed for treason, destroying nine familial generations.
While the Empress Wilkinson was not put to death, she was confined to the Cold Palace, forbidden to step outside its gates. Hundreds from the Wilkinson Family and their neighbors were beheaded, save for the militarily powerful Isaac Wilkinson, who was rescued by someone and his whereabouts unknown.
But even though he was saved, Isaac Wilkinson’s troops were taken over by men under Higgins King.
Other ministers associated with the Wilkinson Family have also been in constant fear lately, as the Admonitory King has been executing people daily, rooting out dissidents, and establishing his supporters.
