Although Wan Yulin was filled with hatred, he could still keep his cool. Xiao Zeyu had to be eliminated, and there was no time to lose.

However, Wan Yulin had seen Xiao Zeyu’s strength. He had to be able to restrain him before he could personally lead the army. Otherwise, he would be sending himself to his death.

Xiao Zeyu was so powerful that Wan Yulin felt highly uneasy. He, who had always been proud of himself, was no longer confident.

He couldn’t just throw his life away. First, he had to bring a weapon that could destroy Xiao Zeyu, and the person who contributed this weapon was Qian Jinhai.

Wan Yulin ordered someone to bring Qian Jinhai and then the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor.

After they killed Xiao Heng, they were worried that his descendants would come to take revenge, so they buried Xiao Heng and his wife in the land of the extinct family. This was to make their family extinct. Without a successor, they naturally could not take revenge.

The person who did this was the current Imperial Astronomical Supervisor, Sun Ji. He could observe the celestial phenomena and the underground palace. He had personally chosen a barren place to bury Xiao Heng and his wife.

That night, the weather changed. Sun Ji swore that there would be no descendants of the Xiao family. It was also because he believed his words that he stopped searching after Chen Jingxiang fell off the cliff with the siblings. Now, Wan Yulin hated Sun Ji to the core. If it wasn’t for him, how could he give up on chasing after him? If he had killed Xiao Zeyu back then, none of this would have happened.

His son’s death was a massive blow to Wan Yulin, especially when he saw the human-skinned lantern. When he thought of the pain his son had suffered before he died, his heart ached.

Later on, when he heard his eldest grandson say that his son’s head was soaked in feces and urine, Wan Yulin hated him so much that he wanted to kill everyone with the surname Xiao to avenge his son.

Sun Ji was escorted here by the guards. Last night, he saw two dragons fighting for the pearl. The Emperor Star was dim, and he could not defeat the dragon that rose later. He wanted to tell the Emperor, but he was so flustered that he divined for himself.

After seeing that it was a dead hexagram, he did not dare to come. He packed his belongings and prepared to run away. Before he could escape the palace gate, he was caught by the eunuch and his guards. His face was ashen along the way, knowing that he was doomed.

He had helped the Emperor commit many evil deeds these years, and now he could not avoid retribution.

Seeing Sun Ji being brought here, Wan Yulin looked at him with a gloomy expression.

His stare flustered Sun Ji. He wanted to say something to save himself, but he knew Wan Yulin’s temper very well. When he saw the killing intent in Wan Yulin’s eyes, he knew that he would not be able to live. Just as Sun Ji was frightened, Wan Yulin opened his mouth. His voice was as deep as a millstone as it pressed down on Sun Ji.

Are you saying that Xiao Heng won’t have descendants if he’s buried in the Land of Desolation?”

When Sun Ji heard the Emperor ask about the land of the extinct family, he remembered the celestial phenomena he saw last night. As expected, heaven’s will could not be undone. Xiao Heng’s son was the Emperor’s order. How could mortals change it?

Could it be that that piece of land was the dragon vein?

Sun Ji’s face turned ashen when he thought of this. He did not dare to tell Wan Yuhn about the astronomical phenomenon he saw last night. He deliberated for a moment before reporting,

“Reporting to the Emperor, this official buried Xiao Heng in the forbidden land. I was afraid that his spirit would cause trouble and even used a talisman to suppress the coffin.

Men, drag this swindler out and dismember him.”

Wan Yulin was filled with hatred. He vented all his anger on Sun Ji and ordered people to dismember him.

When Sun Ji heard that Wan Yulin was going to tear him apart, he laughed in grief and anger. He blamed himself for being blinded by greed and not cultivating properly. He participated in the struggle for the throne and died without a complete corpse.

People were fearless when they were about to die. Sun Ji looked at Wan Yulin and said sadly,

“Heaven’s will cannot be defied. I’ve received retribution. Emperor, your retribution is coming soon.”

Wan Yuhn became even angrier when he heard Sun Ji’s words. What did he mean by ‘destiny can’t be defied?’ He was the Son of Heaven, the Emperor’s order. He could control everything, including the bullsh * t heaven’s will. He ordered the eunuch to drag Sun Ji away and torture him.

“It’s useless to keep this pair of eyes. It’s useless to keep your tongue.” Sun Ji was dragged away. He no longer said a word and closed his eyes to wait for the torture he was about to face. This was his retribution, the punishment of the heavenly path.

Wan Yulin felt even more frustrated when he heard the screams outside Yangxin Palace Hall. Sun Ji’s words just now still made him feel fear.

All the divmations Sun Ji had divined in the past were accurate, including his father’s ascension to the throne and his ascension to the throne. The timing was also accurate.

“Men, bring Sun Ji back.”

Wan Yulin suddenly stood up and shouted for people to return Sun Ji. He wanted to ask Sun Ji how to get rid of Xiao Zeyu.

Sun Ji was brought back, but his eyes had been gouged out, and his tongue had been cut off. He had already become disabled and could not provide Wan Yulin with any methods!

“You… Can you write it?”

Wan Yulin was highly regretful. Why was he so impulsive? He only hoped that Sun Ji could still write it.

Sun Ji was in so much pain that his entire body was trembling. His eyes were bleeding, and so was his mouth. He did not want to give any more ideas for the tyrant Wan Yulin.

Seeing Sun Ji was unwilling to write a suggestion for him, Wan Yulin waved his hand again and asked someone to take him away. Since it was useless to keep him alive, he would kill him!

When Qian Jinhai was brought here, he saw Sun Ji being escorted out of Yangxin Palace Hall by guards. His empty eye sockets, which had been gouged out, were shocking. When he saw the tongue and eyeballs on the ground, Qian Jmhai was so scared that his heart was beating wildly, afraid he would be next.

“Mr. Qian, please come in.”

Fortunately, the guards were still polite to him, which made Qian Jinhai feel more at ease. He hurriedly knelt and kowtowed when he entered Yangxin Palace Hall. He did not wait for Wan Yulin to say anything, not daring to move.

“I’ll give you ten days to make ten mortars.”

Just as Qian Jinhai was wondering why Wan Yulin had asked him to come, Wan

Yulin spoke up and gave him a difficult task.

“Ten…Days?”

Qian Jmhai was stunned when he heard the number. It was challenging to make one, but ten?

“Is it difficult?”

Wan Yulin looked at Qian Jinhai with a sinister gaze. His voice was so cold that it sent chills down one’s spine.

“Reporting to the Emperor, making mortars requires refined iron. It can only be made by fine grinding. At present, we can’t find such good iron in the capital.”

Qian Jinhai wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and answered cautiously. He blamed the inability to make it on iron. How could he make it if he didn’t have the materials?

“Pass down the decree to order the people of the capital to hand over all the ironware in their homes to be used to refine iron.”

Wan Yuhn couldn’t wait any longer. If this dragged on, it would be even more challenging to get rid of Xiao Zeyu!

The iron ore was in Xiao Zeyu’s hands, but this was not a problem for Wan Yuhn. He thought of the iron weapons in the homes of the ordinary people.

Hearing the Emperor’s words, Qian Jinhai’s lips twitched. His face was still embarrassed, but he did not dare to disagree. He could only buy himself more time.

“I will work hard to create a great killing weapon, but… It would take at least a month.”

Wan Yulin glared at Qian Jinhai when he heard that he had to wait for a month. Fortunately, he had learned from the previous incident and did not order Qian Jinhai to be killed impulsively.

“Alright.”

One month it is!

Qian Jinhai returned to his residence from the palace with a heavy heart. This was a great killing weapon that he had contributed, and the Emperor was delighted to reward him. After returning to the residence, he chased everyone away and went to the backyard.. There was a room that no one was allowed to enter!
