Chapter 224 - The Emperor's Name List

A day later, news about the Xue Family’s downfall instantly circulated around the whole of the Silver Wing Empire. Everyone was surprised when they heard about it. After all, the Xue Family was one of the three great noble families with power and authority that was only second to the Silveria Imperial Family.

Stories about the Xue Family’s illegal dealings with the Blue Fang Empire and the Undying Corpse Sect also sparked the hatred of the citizens. They could not believe that the Xue Family had actually planned to start a rebellion.

"Man, I heard that the Xue Family colluded with those crazy people from the Undying Corpse Sect to rebel against the throne! And they even attacked during the annual martial arts competition. It happened at the final part of the competition. Too bad, the martial arts competition this year got suspended because of the Xue Family’s sudden attack."

"Well, I heard from my friend who is an imperial guard that the emperor managed to defeat the Xue Family’s experts with the help of an unexpected person! You guys will be very surprised if you hear this. It is the emperor’s father, the former emperor of our Silver Wing Empire!"

"Woah! The former emperor is still alive? Man, according to my great grandfather, the former emperor was unstoppable all those years ago! If he’s still alive until now, I bet his strength should be at the very peak of the whole Profound Dragon Continent!"

These kinds of conversations were the main topic of everyone, but the most discussed topic was still about the Xue Family’s sudden rebellion. Some of the citizens even joked about them for having been destroyed on the very first day of their rebellion...

Of course, everything about Jiu Shen’s involvement was omitted on purpose. He was the one who told the emperor to do it. Aside from making the citizens feel secured, all outside forces would think twice about invading the Silver Wing Empire if they heard it.

Inside the imperial palace’s throne room.

"Defender Duanmu, lead the Embroidered Dragon Guards to destroy the remaining members of the Xue Family! Kill everyone! We must not leave any roots behind or it might come back to haunt us in the future! Leave!" Emperor Elyk ordered coldly, his tone was filled with rage and fury.

Defender Duanmu saluted and replied. "I’ll get it done as you command, Your Majesty!"

He then left the throne room with heavy strides.

Looking at his retreating figure, Emperor Elyk nodded in appreciation. He then stared at the old man who was standing beside the throne.

This was his father, Elyk Silveria II.

"Father, are you sure that you’ll be able to handle the Undying Corpse Sect on your own? Even if their sect master is already dead, they still have a few top experts in their midst. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you, father." Emperor Elyk said worriedly.

The old man chuckled warmly when he heard that, but he then shook his head a moment after that. "You don’t need to worry about me, Elyk. Your old man is still a peak stage 9th-rank Saint realm expert. Who among their remaining members could possibly hurt me? Just focus on exterminating the Xue Family. I’ll handle things on my end, so just rest assured."

Emperor Elyk sighed and rubbed his temples. He knew how stubborn his father is, so he no longer said another word.

"Just bring the three guardians with you." He said with a defeated look.

"Those three idiots? What help could they even give me? Just let them remain here to protect Sylvia and Dante. I’ll handle the Undying Corpse Sect alone." The old man said confidently.

"You... Sigh! Nevermind." Emperor Elyk shook his head after releasing a heavy sigh.

"By the way, that man Jiu Shen... I want to meet him. We should visit him after we complete things." The old man said with his hands behind his back.

Emperor Elyk was not surprised by this. He knew what his father’s goal was in this meeting with Jiu Shen, so he nodded his head in agreement. "Of course! We still have to give the reward to that Young Lady for helping us yesterday." He chuckled when he recalled the little girl that liked to put on airs. He did not mind her attitude though since her ability was already apparent. In fact, he was quite fond of that little girl’s temperament which was almost similar to Sylvia’s.

Upon hearing his words, the old man also thought about that huge and beautiful tiger with thick and silky white fur. ’That Wine Master Jiu has the support of a Nascent God Realm savage beast. I wonder what is so special about him... I’ll soon find out after I meet him...’

"I have to go now, son. The Undying Corpse Sect might escape if I continue to remain idle here." The old man said and swiftly left the throne room as if he was in a hurry. He wanted to end things faster so that he could meet Jiu Shen at an earlier date.

Looking at his father’s scurrying figure, Emperor Elyk chuckled. He then looked at the empty throne room with a complicated look. "Why does everyone want to claim this place so badly? Becoming an emperor is such a pain in the ass. Sigh..." He muttered as he dragged his exhausted body back to his room.

Inside his room, the emperor sat on a chair and took out something inside a drawer under his table.

It was a piece of paper with words written on it:

Xue Family

Undying Corpse Sect

Blue Fang Empire

Clear Water Empire

Scorching Sun Sect

Emperor Elyk took out a quill pen and a small inkwell filled with dark ink. He then crossed the words ’Undying Corpse Sect’ and ’Xue Family’.

"After my investigations, I came up with the names of those who want to destroy or invade my Silver Wing Empire. Two of them are now destroyed, but there are still a few left... Not to mention the thing that Wine Master Jiu told me during the auction..." The emperor muttered with a cold look. He hesitated for a moment before writing another name on the piece of paper:

Arslan Silveria
