Recreate a piece of Jade Token, and this matter must not be known to anyone else, understood?
He glared fiercely at Eunuch, an aura of killing intent radiating from him.
Eunuch was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, fully aware of the Emperor's meaning.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty. This old servant understands; I will never speak of it even if it costs me my life."
Only then did the old Emperor retract his killing intent and waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
Eunuch let out a sigh of relief, his back already drenched in sweat, and respectfully retreated slowly.
Once he was alone, the old Emperor could no longer contain himself and furiously smashed everything in sight to pieces.
He felt even more apprehensive about Black Mountain. The one who could kill Royal Uncle was not someone he could provoke at this moment, unless he summoned everyone from the forbidden area.
He had originally planned for Royal Uncle to take Zhang Zhu into the forbidden area, but now that seemed impossible.
With this turn of events, his plans were completely thrown into disarray, which was the root of his fury.
The National Master arrived shortly after; upon seeing the Emperor's expression, he paused for a moment.
"Your Majesty, what is wrong?"
The old Emperor shot a glance at the National Master, harboring some resentment towards him as well. "You said that demon couldn't be killed."
The National Master was taken aback and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I was just about to inform you that there was a demon crossing tribulation outside the city just now; it might be that very demon."
"What?" The old Emperor stood up abruptly. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
His heart was filled with shock; crossing tribulation—no wonder Royal Uncle had died; they had kicked a hornet's nest.
The National Master hadn’t anticipated such a strong reaction from the old Emperor and replied solemnly, "I only just discovered it myself."
The old Emperor regained his composure and noticed the National Master's tone; now that he had lost Royal Uncle, he could not allow the National Master to distance himself from him.
Taking a deep breath, the Emperor's voice softened somewhat. "National Master, I was simply too shocked; I didn't expect anyone would dare to cross tribulation."
The National Master's eyes flickered as he nodded gravely. "And he succeeded in crossing tribulation."
"National Master, do you know where he is now?" The old Emperor asked urgently.
Pu Du Ci Hang thought for a moment and replied, "He should have left; I no longer sense any dangerous aura."
The old emperor let out a sigh of relief; as long as he could leave the capital, everything would be fine. Zhang Zhu and Guan Mama had also witnessed Hei Jiao undergoing its tribulation, but Zhang Zhu was indifferent; after all, it was the emperor who should be worried.
Guan Mama, however, sensed a familiar aura. It felt so much like that of the Black Python. Yet, she wasn't certain, so she kept her thoughts to herself and stayed close to Qing Feng, waiting for the Black Python to appear. At that moment, she would know if it was indeed him.
When Guan Mama saw Qin Feng, she felt that he seemed to have changed in some way, though she couldn't pinpoint exactly how. Qin Feng noticed the look in Guan Mama's eyes and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Guan Mama snapped out of her reverie and whispered, "Young Master, you need to be careful lately. A powerful demon has appeared in the capital and has successfully passed its tribulation." After saying this, she fixed her gaze intently on Qin Feng.
Qin Feng merely glanced at her and replied, "I understand."
Guan Mama was taken aback. Was that all?
Qin Feng had already started heading outside; he still needed to go to the palace today for the grand procession of the top scholar. Ning Caichen and Zhu Fang followed him toward the palace. Ning Caichen appeared radiant; he never expected to achieve such success himself—he felt as if his ancestors were smiling down on him from beyond.
