He Yutian mind raced as he rapidly searched for ideas. He knew that Old Man Ji Yin had his life in his hand. Whether he could evade this disaster, it all depended on his powers of persuasion.
Suddenly, Old Man Ji Yin grinned evilly and a trace of mocking emerged on the corner of his mouth. From his observation, most likely this He Yutian was playing tricks!
Still, rather believing it had existed than not, Old Man Ji Yin pointed to the air and caused He Yutian to fall. Speaking with a strange tone: "Regardless of the secrets, the people of the Redwood King Mansion must die! As for you, I will let you live for a few more days. It would not be too late until I come back from the Bai Yue Country to deal with you. If I discover that you were lying to me, you will certainly suffer a little, haha…"
After he had finished speaking, he lifted He Yutian in his hand and threw him into the cave. Then, he passed his order: "Disciples of the Ji Yin Sect, listen well, I am going out. Guard the gates, I will be back soon."
After giving out the order, Old Man Ji Yin‘s body flashed and he disappeared without a trace like a ghost.
…
In the capital of the Bai Yue Country, and inside the palace, the Emperor of the Bai Yue was feeling tormented.
The news of everything that had happened at the Heavenly Royal Mansion had been delivered to his ears. He had known about the Redwood King conspiring with foreign enemies and trying to destroy the Royal Qin.
If it was only a conflict between the Royal families, as the Emperor, of course, he could step out and mediate between the families. However, the Redwood King had conspired with foreign enemies from the Mother Country. It had become an issue of extreme taboo.
Although he wanted to ask for forgiveness, he knew it would not change much. After all, from the information he had received, the one who had captured the Redwood King was not the Martial Saint, but Marquis Wushuang who was also a powerful warrior at the Upper Sky now!
The combination of these factors had made the Emperor understand his impotence over the control of the situation and the severity of the enmity between the two.
He could voice his opinion, yet it would carry much weight. Basically, he already knew that it wouldn’t do much.
Either of the two Upper Sky Warriors could ignore him, despite his position as the Emperor. Not to mention these two Upper Sky warriors stood on the same side.
Most importantly, the Redwood King had conspired with foreign enemies and in fact, he should receive a death sentence.
Honestly, in the recent years, the Redwood King’s ambition and arrogance attitude had almost caused the Royal Family to take action themselves.
Since a matter had occurred today, the Emperor’s mood could be said to about seventy percent happiness and thirty percent anxiety.
He was happy that someone had finally brought down the Redwood King, the thorn that could have bitten the flesh. He felt anxious that the newly-made Royal Qin had a great temperament and made him uneasy.
The Martial Saint’s intention was clear that he must execute all the people in the Redwood family. Only this way, would it impose the effect of intimidating those powerhouses who had any thoughts of colluding with the foreign powers.
To execute the whole family up to the third generation was a brutal punishment.
The Emperor did not feel it was inappropriate. When that slaughter knife comes down, it would be killing all the He offspring. In the end, it would not look good for his reputation.
Thus, the Emperor had a clear train of thoughts. He must never reveal any shred of mercy or the intention to ask for forgiveness. Or else, besides courting a rebuke, it would show his weakness over decision making.
On the contrary, if he had maintained his forceful attitude from the beginning to end and upheld his responsibility of the Redwood King’s fate, everything would appear harmonious as he would be seen standing on the same side as the two Upper Sky Warriors. As a result, he could also maintain his reputation.
Next day, the Emperor passed his order to place all people of the Redwood Mansion into prison and set the day of their execution for some time after Autumn.
…
To a drowning dog, Qin Wushuang would never waste the opportunity to hit it hard. To people like the Redwood King, one must destroy them completely and never give them the slightest trace of hope to redeem themselves.
And executing the entire family up to the third generation was the most thorough method.
Only, it was suspicious how the Redwood King could get people from the Ji Yin Sect to come. The Ji Yin sect was a major sect in the Great Luo Country, he could not have just been connected to them by sending a few girls.
Surely, someone had facilitated the connection.
This person who had facilitated the connection was crucial. Qin Wushuang estimated that he would have a deep relationship with the Redwood King. If this person did not get taken out, surely he would become a troublemaker in the future.
On this day, just as Qin Wushuang was returning from the Great Cang Mountain, a servant came over and shouted: "Young Master, a few guests would like to see you. They have waited for a while."
"Guests?"
"Yes, they were not willing to say where they had come from. They said they would only say when they see you."
"The King is not here?"
"The King was greeting them, but they only wanted to meet you."
Qin Wushuang nodded: "Ok, I got it. You can go."
"What kind of people would want to see me? Inside the Bai Yue Country, it is impossible for someone to hide their status, and only ask to see me." Qin Wushuang thought about it, and still, he walked casually and calmly.
When he came to the front of the living room, he already noticed four traces of breathing.
One of them came from his father, the other three were obviously guests. And they were unfamiliar guests.
All the guests appeared overjoyed when they saw Qin Wushuang had appeared.
One of them who was sitting down appeared to be a stout man in his fifties. The other two stood on both sides of that stout man, and apparently, they were his lackeys.
