Chapter 918 - 429: Throne Battle! Turing Duo Goes Mad!_2
Upon hearing the news that the King had passed away, Zhi Li was struck by lightning and after a long while, suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, let out a loud cry, and fainted straight backward.
Then, Zhi Li’s trusted samurai hurriedly helped him onto the back of a griffin, following Prime Minister Yan Wuji at top speed to return to Wangcheng Zidu!
Wangcheng Zidu was already in utter chaos.
The King had passed away, and the masses were clad in mourning garments.
Last night, the sounds of slaughter from the direction of the royal city had almost spread throughout the entire Wangcheng Zidu.
Anyone who wasn’t a fool knew clearly who had assassinated the King.
The civil and military officials who had stayed behind in Wangcheng Zidu had divided into two camps.
One camp was in cahoots with Zhi Li, firmly believing that the King had died long ago, and last night’s assassination was just an act; the despicable Suo Lun wanted to frame Zhi Li with the crime of regicide by using the King’s death.
Not only that, it was actually Suo Lun who was plotting to overthrow the throne!
After winning this decisive battle, those shameless nobles and generals, crying "Lord Suo Lun" aloud, would only kneel before Suo Lun, not Zhi Yan.
The other camp claimed with certainty that Zhi Li, having lost his mind, had assassinated the King!
