Chapter 547: Chapter 286 The Fasting King and the Little Emperor in the Imperial Palace_2

Unexpectedly, I didn’t see King Zhai at the Temple of Tianming, but I ran into him in the Imperial Palace.

[What is your next move?]

[1. Pull out the ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ at your waist, stab the woman in front of you with one sword, and possess her through the Shell.]

[2. Killing the eldest imperial princess like this seems too much of a waste. Why not play around with her a bit first and play the role of a royal son-in-law.] 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

[3. Reveal your true identity as a ’Yama Representative’ to get information about the ’Little Emperor’.]

The ’King Zhai Chizujin’ in front of you must be the most powerful caregiver in this Chapter.

The Shell quality of the two lame caregivers in the Shell column is a bit low and can’t show the power of the caregiver’s divine tool, ’Tiansui Blooming Rice’s Harvest Sickle’.

If I could get King Zhai’s Shell, these two caregivers could retire.

However, Lin Xun chose the third option instead of killing for memories of the Shell.

[You quietly pull out the ’Tiansui Blooming Rice’s Harvest Sickle’, a small sickle with rust spots and patterns on it that resemble layers of raging flames.]

[’King Zhai Chizujin’ suddenly lifts her head, focusing intently on the divine Harvest Sickle in your hand.]

[The flame patterns on the small sickle seem to respond to the royal bloodline and suddenly flicker and jump, as if they’re real flames.]

[’King Zhai Chizujin’ is stunned, and her excited expression overflows with tears streaming down her cheeks.]

[She hurriedly drops her needlework and kneels before you, knocking her head repeatedly, wanting to scream, but holding her mouth tightly shut, afraid the guards outside would notice.]

[She whispers softly, Yama has not abandoned His people, and has finally sent a representative to save the royal family and the entire Sakura fall!]

[You help ’King Zhai Chizujin’ up. From her words, it seems she already knows about the General’s downfall.]

[You have a deep conversation with her and understand the course of events...]

[After uniting Sakura fall, the General initially needed the royal family’s name to keep the people subservient.]

[But as time passed, the General gradually revealed a series of governance methods that won over both local daimyos and ordinary people.]

[With a more prosperous and peaceful life, they gradually forgot about the royal family and only recognized the General.]

[Rumors even spread among the people that the royal family imposed heavy taxes and governed with no restraint, so Yama sent the General to bring about a prosperous age.]

[But how could they know that the heavy taxes were due to Sakura fall having to pay tribute to Vermillion Empire every year...]

[After the General obtained the hearts of the people, the royal bloodline was confined to the palace, cut off from the world.]

[The reason the General has not killed her and the Little Emperor is that the Little Emperor is still useful.]

[The embattled Vermillion Empire has sent a slew of envoys and armies which the General wiped out.]

[The confiscated ’Vermillion Flags’ were used to harm Yama’s underlings.]

[With each God falling, fewer can respond to the call, not even using ’Vermillion Flags’ can get a response from surviving gods.]

[If they want to wipe out all the remaining gods, there’s only one way left - the Little Emperor.]

[As the last servant of the royal bloodline, as long as he is willing, he can get a response from the gods through his powerful will.]

[But, could a devout servant submit to a traitor?]

[The General has detained the ’Little Emperor’ and subjected him to torture day and night. If it weren’t for the pure servant’s strong will granted by God, he couldn’t endure such inhuman torture...]

[Even so, her young brother, the Little Emperor, never submitted. However, the General switched to a more sinister method when he saw that months of severe torture did not work.]

[The General implanted the seed of Extreme Evil in the Little Emperor, letting Malice take root and sprout in the body of her young brother.]

[Now her brother is no longer human-shaped; under the torment and erosion of Malice, maybe tomorrow or the day after, the Little Emperor will lose his sanity and become a walking corpse only obeying the General...]

[On that day, everything in the world will fall into Extreme Evil...]

[’King Zhai Chizujin’ weeps uncontrollably at this point, begging you to save the Little Emperor and all living beings in the world...]

[You’ve found out the exact location of the detained Fire-Worshiping Emperor of Sakura fall!]

[You wipe away ’King Zhai Chizujin’’s tears and promise to meet him in the Little Emperor’s palace, and you promise to save all living beings in the world.]

[’King Zhai Chizujin’ gradually stops crying. Perhaps it’s because of the relief from the oppressive atmosphere of being confined deep in the palace, or because you are the "Yama Representative" whom she trusts implicitly - she gradually lets down her guard and falls asleep in your arms...]

[You place the woman on the bed and quietly leave the palace...]

[You use the hiding technique again, blending into the night, and rush to the palace where the Little Emperor is imprisoned...]

Lin Xun checked the time. Only an hour remained before the General would return to the Imperial Palace.

He had to rescue the Little Emperor and call the remaining gods within an hour.

[Strangely, as you approach the palace where the ’Little Emperor’ is held, the number of patrolling soldiers decreases.]

[By the time you are near the palace, there isn’t a single guard in sight.]

[You frown, sensing that things are not simple...]

[The building in the distance looks no different from the other palaces, except for the dearth of soldiers.]
