Chapter: 872
“... Lord Chun. That is no simple suggestion, do you think that His Majesty will accept that offer?”
No matter how much the Emperor saw the Blade God Six Martial clan as culprits, he would never forget the humiliation he’d faced in the underground hall of the Royal Shrine.
‘You even killed his escort...’
He was wondering if the suggestion would be accepted.
If it was him, he would never accept the suggestion put forth by Chun Yeowun.
But Chun Yeowun’s reaction was different.
He seemed confident.
“The Emperor won’t refuse.”
Two days later.
As agreed, Chun Yeowun visited the throne room in the palace.
The Emperor, who considered it a shame to make an official document whilst stamping it with the seal, hadn’t called for the other officials.
Chun Yeowun had told Zhu Taikhan that it was a suggestion and not a request.
“... Ugh. If Your Majesty refuses, we can proceed with the non-aggression treaty as spoken about before.”
The emperor had a strange expression after listening to the unexpected proposal.
‘...This isn’t a request but a suggestion that I can refuse?’
The Emperor was silent for most of the time, and after thinking deeply about it, he answered.
At the end of the long deliberation, the corners of Chun Yeowun’s lips rose with satisfaction.
Two days have passed since the incident at the Royal Shrine.
A meeting was being held in Henan Province in the main building of the Forces of Justice.
Recently even the Forces of Justice had suffered huge damage because of spies, and due to the threat from the Blade God Six Martial clan, only the leaders with selected disciples from their clans were allowed to enter the building, thus only half the seats in the hall were filled.
The person who’d requested to convene this meeting was none other than Elder Cheong-su, a long-time member of the Forces of Justice.
“I don’t get it, Elder, is it really true?”
A middle-aged man with a short grey beard, seated on the farthest seat, opened his mouth and spoke in a serious voice.
He was one of the seventeen leaders of the Forces of Justice, Peng-gyu.
Elder Cheong-su was reporting the incidents which happened in the Imperial palace during his journey as Yulin’s envoy.
However, due to the unexpected details of his report, the people present were quite confused.
“The Lord of the Demonic Cult? He appeared in the Imperial palace?”
It was absurd to hear that the Lord of the Demonic Cult had appeared in the Imperial Palace.
Although they had formed an alliance, free passage was only allowed within Wulin. This act of entering the palace had been done without prior notice.
“I’m not absolutely sure, but it seemed like the second prince was the one who brought him in.”
