~7 min read 1,211 words

The road Wang Jian took to the Imperial Palace of Xianyang was exceptionally calm.

Even with his son on his back, Wang Jian's steps were exceptionally steady.

He did not look like an old man at all.

As he drew closer to the Imperial Palace of Xianyang, Wang Jian heard the clamor coming from within.

And this clamor sounded like a one-sided slaughter.

As an old general with rich combat experience, Wang Jian immediately judged the situation inside.

Looking at the heavily guarded Imperial Guards standing at the city gate,

how could Wang Jian not understand who had completely seized control inside?

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

In fact, even he did not know what he was thinking.

If Ying Zheng truly failed, would he regret killing Wang Ben?

Wang Jian had been pondering this question on his way here.

But upon seeing the guards at the gate, he knew

that this question no longer needed to be asked.

From the day their Wang family chose to rebel, the outcome had been destined.

Perhaps from the day Wang Ben chose to rebel, Ying Zheng's gaze had already been fixed upon him.

A look of remorse appeared on Wang Jian's face.

If he had discovered it earlier, could he have prevented this from happening?

If he had taken action to suppress his son completely when he first discovered his son's anomaly,

would Wang Ben not have been seduced by that man in black to participate in this rebellion?

Wang Jian's heart felt as painful as if it were being gnawed by ten thousand ants.

"Old General Wang, without His Majesty's decree, no one is allowed to enter the palace."

The leader of the Imperial Guards naturally saw Wang Jian and coldly blocked him.

For those under his command, although they did not know what had happened tonight,

those with political sensitivity had long since sensed that something was wrong tonight.

Wang Jian nodded silently and stood straight on the spot.

It was at this moment that Feng Quji and Li Zhen hurried over from afar.

From a distance, Feng Quji saw the figure standing at the city gate.

When he walked closer, he had already been discovered by the Imperial Guards guarding the gate.

When Li Zhen and Feng Quji saw that figure, the expressions on both their faces changed simultaneously.

Wang Jian!

The commotion behind him naturally also attracted Wang Jian's attention.

Wang Jian turned his head to look, and saw Feng Quji and Li Zhen walking over in a hurry.

Upon seeing these two, a look of suspicion appeared on Wang Jian's face.

Tonight.

Was a long-planned scheme by the group behind them.

Why would Feng Quji and Li Zhen appear here?

Could it be that the two of them were also involved with that group from tonight?

Doubt arose in Wang Jian's heart, and his gaze carried a hint of scrutiny.

Meanwhile, Feng Quji and Li Zhen on the other side had come to a complete stop upon seeing the figure behind Wang Jian.

The two parties stood far apart, gazing at each other from a distance.

A deathly pale look immediately appeared on Li Zhen's face, and beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Feng Quji, what on earth is going on? Why is Wang Jian also here?"

Li Zhen lowered his voice, though his head remained perfectly still.

Feng Quji's confusion at this moment was even deeper than Li Zhen's, and at the same time, a trace of anxiety emerged in his heart.

Li Zhen was only wondering why Wang Jian would appear here.

But as an involved party, he knew clearly that Wang Ben was also one of the planners of this event.

Now, Wang Ben's pale complexion.

And the spots of blood on his body.

All served to tell everyone that he had already been dead for some time.

Wang Ben's death made Feng Quji realize that something seemed wrong.

Subconsciously, Feng Quji wanted to leave this place.

But the moment he moved his feet, he was interrupted by Wang Jian.

"Since Lord Feng was summoned by His Majesty along with me, in that case, why not wait with me for His Majesty's decree?"

Wang Jian spoke coldly.

Although he did not know what these two had come for, he subconsciously felt that they could not leave.

The leader of the Imperial Guards guarding the entrance also fixed his gaze upon these two lords.

That tiger-like, predatory gaze made Feng Quji and Li Zhen feel immense pressure instantly.

"General Wang, we only received news and came to check the situation."

"Since there is no abnormality here at the palace, it would be better for us to leave early."

Feng Quji's expression shifted a few times, and then he revealed a faint smile.

"Lord Feng, Lord Li, it would be better to wait here."

Wang Jian's tone deepened, and his gaze, filled with oppression, fixed upon the two of them.

The expressions of Feng Quji and Li Zhen stiffened simultaneously, and the figures they had just prepared to move came to an immediate halt.

The atmosphere among the few people outside was exceptionally strange; within the Imperial City,

ever since Donghuang Taiyi was brought under control, the generals who had come with him were all slaughtered.

For those who intended to rebel, Ying Zheng did not hold back.

As an emperor holding great power, how could his hands not have been stained with blood?

It was only after becoming the sole Emperor that he killed fewer people for the sake of his reputation.

In a secluded palace within the Imperial Palace.

A graceful figure was sitting cross-legged in a magnificent room.

One could see the brows of this graceful figure furrowing slightly, while her eyelids twitched a few times.

Her body trembled violently for a moment, and then she suddenly opened her eyes.

In those eyes, there seemed to be an incredulous sense of astonishment.

Luna was stunned.

She had just unconsciously foreseen a scene that would happen in the future.

She had foreseen the future of the Yin-Yang School.

The powerful Yin-Yang School would actually be destroyed at the hands of a young man.

Having foreseen all this, Luna felt somewhat restless.

She had entered the Imperial Palace and become the State Preceptor of Great Qin to leverage the power of Great Qin to make the entire Yin-Yang School even more powerful.

Having been questioned by Ying Zheng some time ago, she had chosen to go into seclusion and no longer intervene in any outside matters.

Yet she did not expect that during her seclusion, she would unconsciously foresee this scene.

Luna's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a look of contemplation flashed in her eyes.

She was somewhat unsure who that young man was.

Moreover, the young man's face was somewhat blurred,

but the young man's powerful strength still left her somewhat shocked.

But what surprised Luna was that in that scene, the leader seemed to be absent.

When that youth destroyed the entire Yin-Yang School, the leader did not appear in the scene at all.

This was the point that left Luna feeling confused.

Why did the leader not appear, and why did he not protect the entire Yin-Yang School?
