The Great Yan Dynasty's Ninth Prince had been a fool for seven whole years.
Imprisoned in the Cold Palace, everyone considered him useless.
The Empress Dowager sent poisoned wine, and the Third Prince dispatched the imperial guards.
The Imperial Preceptor sealed the palace gates. Tonight, the whole family would die.
Just as the wine reached his lips, he suddenly laughed, and his foolish facade fell away.
A flick of his finger sent the deputy commander flying. His forehead split open, and he died.
Another flick, and the crossbowmen all dropped, blood streaming from every orifice as they died in silence.
He raised a hand, and the courtyard walls crumbled to dust. The bodies in the courtyard lay perfectly still.
The Empress Dowager collapsed, unable to stand. The new emperor was so terrified he wet himself.
The Imperial Preceptor struck the alarm bell, trembling all over. Its warning rang throughout the imperial city.
Dead silence filled the hall. Everyone in the capital was gripped by fear.
The Immortal Emperor opened his eyes, and the Myriad Worlds were turned upside down.
He'd played the fool for seven years. Tonight, he would finally drop the act.
I have returned.
