Chapter 2226: Never Thought of Slaughtering Your Majesty

Chapter 2226: Chapter 2226: Never Thought of Slaughtering Your Majesty

“If what Your Majesty said turns out to be true, then we are truly in for disaster.” The chancellor’s expression was heavy.

Rong Xingye’s face didn’t look any better. No one knew the true purpose of the Dark Token left behind by the Late Emperor. Was it for military power, money, or perhaps a combination of both?

“Wasn’t the Dark Token entrusted to the Late Emperor’s most trusted person? How could it possibly fall into the hands of the Former Sovereign Emperor?” Rong Xingye’s brows furrowed tightly.

He couldn’t fathom how the Former Sovereign Emperor managed to obtain the Dark Token. What kind of capability did he possess?

“So, Your Majesty, are you asking me to go find the Dark Token?” he asked.

The Monarch Emperor: “!”

Hadn’t they been discussing how the Dark Token was in the hands of the Former Sovereign Emperor all along?

If it was truly in his possession, and no one could even locate him, then how could the Dark Token be found?

“He’s asking you to pass down orders to your soldiers, instructing them to guard all the strategic passes and towns carefully, to ensure the owner of the Dark Token doesn’t find an opportunity to strike.”

Suddenly, a strange voice broke the flow.

“Exactly. That’s precisely what I meant.”

The Monarch Emperor nodded subtly, only to realize that he had never heard this voice before. Even more shockingly, it was a woman’s voice.

“Who’s there?”

His expression darkened as he stood up from his chair, his gaze sweeping across the vast imperial study room. Yet, he saw no sign of anyone entering the space.

However, the voice he’d heard moments ago was undeniably real. Moreover, it wasn’t just him—others in the room had heard it as well.

“Who is in here? Show yourself! Don’t hide in the shadows!” The chancellor shouted sternly.

This was the Monarch Emperor’s imperial study room; how could anyone enter as they pleased and speak so at liberty? Who was behind this voice?

Although Rong Xingye held no weapons, he had already moved to stand in front of the Monarch Emperor, shielding him protectively.

“Relax. I have no intention of assassinating your Monarch Emperor; he’s not the Former Sovereign Emperor.” The mocking tone rang out again as, outside the imperial study, An Jiuyue strode in casually, cradling a little baby.

She was followed by Qian Jiyun and three others.

The Monarch Emperor & the chancellor, along with others: “…”

Could they possibly not be nervous? These people had infiltrated the palace unnoticed and found their way directly to the imperial study room. With such skills, claiming anyone’s life would be an effortless endeavor.

Indeed, the Former Sovereign Emperor’s decision to flee was justified. When faced with people like this who wanted his death, staying would’ve been the bizarre choice.

“Who are you…”

The Monarch Emperor’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat as he stared at the group walking in so nonchalantly.

The earlier words had already revealed their identities—they were here for the Former Sovereign Emperor. That could only mean they were representatives of the Yiinn Family, led by the High Priest Demon Heart of the Demon Heart Hall, right?

“Greetings to the High Priest Demon Heart, greetings to you all.”

The Monarch Emperor pushed Rong Xingye aside slightly and bowed to the group.

He then signaled Rong Xingye and the chancellor with his eyes, urging them to quickly pay their respects as well. These individuals were not ones they could afford to offend.

“Greetings to the High Priest Demon Heart, greetings to you all.” The chancellor, snapping out of his trance, quickly bowed to them as well. The other State Knights followed suit, offering their greetings.

“I’ve only come to find your Former Sovereign Emperor. There’s no need for the formalities.”

An Jiuyue gestured for them to dispense with the bows. Their visit to the palace was primarily to ascertain whether the supposedly ‘deceased’ Former Sovereign Emperor had actually been located.
