Chapter 937: Chapter 589: The New Emperor of Xi Chu, The Truth Revealed

So it was her.

Just now, when Lu Wanshi was speaking with this woman, Lu Lin did not carefully observe her face. But now that he took a look, it seemed somewhat familiar.

Isn’t she Mo Jianwu?

Sun Xiaorui’s former maid.

Later, during the Battlefield Secret Realm, Sun Xiaorui fell for Lu Lin. Mo Jianwu felt uneasy and wanted to persuade Sun Xiaorui to part with Lu Lin, but Sun Xiaorui didn’t agree, and then she quietly left in the middle of the night.

Since then, Lu Lin had never seen Mo Jianwu again.

Unexpectedly, today, he witnessed this woman’s crazy scene in Lu Wanshi’s bedroom.

At this moment, Mo Jianwu was still in shock and panic.

In a hurry, she wanted to dress and go out to call someone.

But Lu Lin wouldn’t give her that chance.

Hypnotism.

With Mo Jianwu’s ability, without anyone disturbing her, she might take at least three days to awaken.

But if someone discovers her, that would be marvelous.

Mo Jianwu collapsed softly onto the bed, her fair skin revealed under the dim light.

After handling these matters, Lu Lin felt the pent-up anger in his heart dissipate.

So, let’s... leave then.

This Xi Chu Empire was a place of heartbreak for Lu Lin, and he would never return again.

Without telling anyone his whereabouts, Lu Lin disappeared into the stormy Xi Chu Imperial City.

...

Lu Lin left.

But the things he did were quickly discovered.

The ministers waiting outside the Golden Palace waited for a long time without being summoned by the Chu Emperor. The Minister of War couldn’t help but have a guard at the door announce their presence.

Outside the city, there were still thousands who died tragically, and they couldn’t just stand there like fools.

Xiang Chu had always been decisive and never procrastinated, so why was it taking so long today to talk with the twelve generals inside?

The bodyguard entered the Golden Palace through a side door to witness a shocking scene.

On the throne of the Golden Palace, Chu Emperor Xiang Chu’s body slumped to the side, devoid of any aura, as if he were asleep.

The twelve Flame Dragon Guards were also lying sprawled on the smooth ground of the Golden Palace.

Beside Xiang Chu was a black, gold-edged bowl-shaped treasure, now shattered.

"This... this is..."

The bodyguard walked over cautiously, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

The Chu Emperor did not respond.

Seeing the Chu Emperor like this, the bodyguard felt his heart sink straight down.

He didn’t dare to step forward to check but went to the twelve generals instead, "General Sun, General Liu, General Ma, General Zhao..."

He nudged each of the generals’ bodies, but there was no response.

Summoning his courage, the bodyguard placed his finger under their noses.

No breath flowed.

The Star Power within had dissipated.

The twelve generals were dead.

His Majesty the Chu Emperor was dead.

The bodyguard stood up, turned around, and hurriedly ran out of the Golden Palace, cold sweat dripping on his forehead.

"Lord, my lord, something terrible has happened!"

Panic-stricken, the bodyguard ran outside the Golden Palace, and under the eyes of several big shots, he relayed an unfathomable truth.

"Your Majesty has passed."

"The twelve generals have also departed with His Majesty."

"What!!!"

The Minister of War, the Dali Temple Lord, and Xiang Qi from the Ministry of Justice all exclaimed in unison.

Their eyes widened, incredulously staring at the bodyguard, ten thousand doubts in their hearts.

Chu Emperor Xiang Chu was at the Star Emperor Peak level of cultivation. In the Xi Chu Country, who had the power to silently kill him?

Everyone knew that before they came, the twelve generals had only just entered.

This point could be confirmed by all the guards of the Golden Palace and the eunuchs serving in the back.

After they arrived, not even a fly entered the Golden Palace. How could the emperor have died?

"Impossible."

Everyone shouted, disregarding any decorum between ruler and subjects, they pushed open the front door of the Golden Palace and rushed inside.

The scene that the bodyguard saw earlier suddenly appeared before their eyes.

"Your Majesty!"

"Twelve Generals!"

"Who, who did this!"

Everyone shouted in fright and anger.

This was the emperor of the Chu State, just silently dying in the Golden Palace, this matter must have an explanation.

If not, who would be willing or dare to become the emperor of the Da Chu royal family in the future?

Standing at the back of the crowd, Xiang Ruofeng’s heart skipped a beat upon witnessing this scene.

Could it be the work of the Master?

Just before leaving the residence, Lu Lin had suddenly said to him.

"You want to be emperor, don’t you? I’ll give you a chance. Whether or not you can seize it is up to you."

At that time, Xiang Ruofeng didn’t understand what Lu Lin meant.

How was it giving him a chance?

Unexpectedly, Lu Lin’s words became reality in this situation.

To say the Chu Emperor’s death had nothing to do with Lu Lin, Xiang Ruofeng wouldn’t believe it.

But, did the Master possess such strength?

Clearly, he was only at the Star Lord Peak level of cultivation.

Yet he managed to kill the Chu Emperor and the twelve generals silently without even entering the Imperial Palace. Such a method, indeed mysterious and unfathomable.

However, merely killing the Chu Emperor wouldn’t grant Xiang Ruofeng any opportunity to become emperor.

Xiang Ruojun.

As long as Xiang Ruojun, the genius prince, was alive, not just Xiang Ruofeng, but even Xiang Qi would have no chance.

Wait a moment.

Xiang Ruofeng was suddenly taken aback.

Could it be that Lu Lin, while at it, also killed Xiang Ruojun?

If true, then a great opportunity had come to their family.
