Inside the Hezheng Hall, the stench of blood reached the heavens.
The mutilated corpse of the Inner Court Grand Steward Li Teng lay scattered; red, white, yellow fluids spilled all over the ground, terrifying the Qian'an Emperor.
The Qian'an Emperor had killed many men and had seen blood before, but to see the National Master kill his Grand Steward in front of him still left him deeply frightened.
It was only upon seeing the old Steward protecting him that the Qian'an Emperor felt somewhat relieved and began to scold furiously.
"National Master, are you rebelling?"
The old Steward did not speak, yet still hunched over, but his gaze and aura turned extremely sharp, and his presence firmly locked onto National Master Cheng Yuxiao!
"Your Majesty, your servant is merely purging the traitors from your side," said Cheng Yuxiao with a slight smile as he stepped over Li Teng's corpse, his eyes sweeping towards the new Inner Court Vice Chief, Sun Rang.
