Chapter 541: Fallen Genius
From the outside looking in, the mansion of the king looked quite serene, no different from an ordinary day.
The black walls and majestic gate were still there. Guards with arrows and sentry towers were ready with beasts flying overhead.
All of this was an illusion.
The towering walls have crumbled; the palaces a complete mess with corpses everywhere. Not a single eunuch and maid were left alive. Even the hired cultivators have been assassinated.
The old followers of the previous Divine King were dead as well. Blood gathered in the pond and turned the color red. This was a scene of hell without the screams because no one was alive.
No one could imagine how the mighty mansion had fallen.
Anyone who entered the mansion for any reason would be eliminated instantly. No living being shall enter nor get out.
Long Shenya was feeling quite good standing from a high vantage point watching the whole thing. Grasping the lives of others in his hand was an amazing feeling. He found himself becoming a god looking down at the world.
“You’re all suicidal for going against me. Die already.” He was quite handsome with a strong, eagle-like nose. He held a jade ruler looking like his symbol of authority.
The air rippled nearby and a black-cloak old man walked out. He had a Black Tortoise Stick and was in a foul mood.
“Feng Feiyun activated the seals of the Divine Kings so we lost many excellent assassins, one was a supreme elder, a Giant. Five were half-step Giants, all died for nothing.”
Top assassins were hard to train. Grooming a half-step assassin was three times harder than three ordinary half-steps and required more resources. Grooming a Giant took it to a whole new level.
