Once Liu Xing lost his usefulness, Mark killed him, stole their weapons, loot their storage rings, before throwing all four corpses into an empty storage ring of his.

The storage ring was further dismantled for credits while destroying their corpses for good.

"So, what now?" asked Xie Mei in a bit of worry. The teenager might not who Li Zheng Kang is but she was aware that a Grand Secretariat is one of the most powerful men within an empire in terms of authority. Attacking him is the same as announcing a war against the Emperor.

Mark replied with clear signs of anger on his face, "Now, it's time for the Grand Secretariat to pay for his crimes. However, I don't think he is the mastermind for he gains nothing from killing my parents. There is someone from the imperial family that ordered or requested him to do so. I need that name."

"Bael, go to Imperial City once again and search for your next target of abduction. I'm transmitting my thoughts to you in the form of an image. Bring him here without killing anyone. Just knocking them out would be fine. And also, take the girl with you and drop her at our home." Mark passed his next order to the demon king, using his services as much as he wants to, without any hesitation.

Since it is going to be another bad thing to do, Bael agreed to do it readily and went on to grab Xie Mei's arm as well as touch the head of the griffin.

"Wait." Xie Mei stopped him for a moment and looked at Mark in a bit of worry, "I know that you are strong enough to topple the empire but I hope you also thought of the consequences. Doing this will make you an evil person in the eyes of society.

My grandfather said that if a majority of people are on your side, you will become a hero but if they are against you, you will become a villain and heroes will emerge from the public to defeat you. The more you resist the heroes, the more you become infamous. There's no backing from there.

And eventually, there comes a day when you will fall and no one will come to support you. Think about it once again."

Mark knew what he was going to do and he wasn't interested to make Xie Mei understand his emotions or thoughts.

He dismissed her with a wave of his hand, "I'm not forcing you to stay on my side. You can leave if you want. Bael will drop you and your griffin at Xianshu sect."

Xie Mei didn't know what else to speak to this stubborn fellow. As she took a vow to herself that she won't leave his side at all costs like a dutiful wife would be (in her opinion), she could only reply to him to be careful before disappearing with the demon.

After dropping the teenager at Genesis weapon store, Bael fly higher into the sky up to 1km of altitude and scanned the entire city using his senses.

"Found it." Bael looked in the direction of a majestic palace located in the heart of the city. Even though his maximum power was restricted greatly, with the peak stage immortal realm power, he managed to find his target in mere 6 seconds of time.

The demon then flew toward the imperial palace, alerting a certain Queen Consort when he landed right in front of the entrance door and knocked out the door guards.

Fearlessly, he walked into the imperial palace and started walking in the direction where he sensed the presence of his target.

Meanwhile, in the courtroom, Emperor Shang was still in the middle of a meeting with his ministers, the Grand Secretariat, Bai Xun, and the third prince. None of them were aware of what was going on outside as there is a noise-canceling barrier placed within the room to make sure no spies are listening to their conversation in secret.

And at the moment, the third prince and Nei Rougang were arguing about a matter.

"Minister Nie, don't try to evade it. We have proof that your clan secretly acquired a new type of weapon in several numbers from the Dwarven kingdom. However, the Dwarven King isn't aware of it. Your actions are quite suspicious." Shang Wei accused Nie Rougang on the grounds of corruption, deceit, and rebellion. He further demanded the minister in donating those weapons to the imperial army so that they may be deployed to the border and take down the Kunyu bandits' battle tanks.

This matter was brought up by Lin Wuying when Nie Rougang talked about the imperial palace allocating more funds and setting up a war donation box so that the citizens can also contribute to this war without actively participating in the war. Please visit f𝘳𝐞𝒆we𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟e𝑙. c𝘰𝓂

The revenue minister stressed that this is a better way than raising the taxes. As Lin Wuying brought it up, Shang Wei used this matter to his advantage.

When Nei Rougang refused to hand over them as it is considered private property, Shang Wei countered that the minister can use them against the imperial palace when the army is busy at the border fighting a war.

He also pointed out how it is weird for the Nie clan to gather such funds to buy those expensive weapons and that too, high in number.

In response, Nie Rougang almost roared in anger, "Lies. Our clan served the throne for more than 1700 years. We were also one of the few clans who stood behind the founder while unifying this southern land. Don't dare question our loyalty. We won't sit and listen quietly even if you are a prince."

Seeing Nie Rougang agitated by his allegations, Shang Wei leaned back a bit with a smile on his face, "If you cannot donate them or even sell them, then, you should have no problem lending them to the imperial army. Supreme Commander Bai just now mentioned that if we want to defeat them, we need to attack them at the same time.

Each of those cannons can shoot targets from more than a thousand meters away. We can surely surprise the enemies with an all-out attack."

"But, it is not just our soldiers and Ji clan's main family who are kept as hostages. There are hundreds of thousands of citizens too," commented the Han clan's Patriarch. "Is His Majesty really want to go ahead with the war?" The minister of war is clearly against the war. He wanted peaceful negotiations.

However, the Emperor is very angry. He sharply stared at the war minister, "I would have settled for peace if that Feng Wu hadn't threatened us. His arrogance will be his downfall."

"And we don't have to worry about the citizens, Minister Han." Shang Wei made him understand that Feng Wu look at all the citizens of Western Yan as his own citizens and had a bit of emotional attachment to them.

Bai Xun then voiced his opinion, "The killing of soldiers will only give us the reason to go all out against them. They clearly don't want that either. Hence, it is just an empty. Perhaps, the only lives we have to worry about are that of the Ji clan.

If we could just manage to save Ji Cheng and Ji Guanli, we could proceed with the all-out attack, but, not without Song Tai and other experts of the 8-circle realm.

And while they were distracted, our assassin will have to make sure to poison Feng…"

*Ssssssh*

Just as Bai Xun was about to complete his sentence, all of a sudden, the walls were completely frozen in ice.

"Huh?"

Everyone got up from their seats in a bit of confusion.

But, in the next second, the floor and the ceiling were also frozen in ice.

"What the hell is going on?" "An ambush?" "Ice? It's Lu Zhen…" "How is that possible? The ambassador confirmed Lu Zhen's presence at Eastern Sun yesterday." "I cannot sense anything outside this room"

As various murmurings filled the place, the Emperor roared, "Who is it?"

"Your Majesty, let me take care of it." Bai Xun quickly summoned his semi-divine bow and conjured an energy arrow.

He shot at the place where the door was supposed to be located.

The arrow struck the ice but couldn't even scratch it, making everyone's face dark.

Even Bai Xun was shocked and turned his head to look at Shang Fu. "Your Majesty, my power cannot destroy this. We are trapped for good."

"Not really, Supreme Commander Bai. Let me try." The third prince stepped forward.
