The Human Emperor (1-200)

C141: Great Saber: Death's Abyss!

After settling the matter with the Wootz steel sword, Wang Chong heaved a sigh of relief. In the days to come, he focused his efforts on looking for traces of the ‘Demonic Emperor Old Man’ while continuing to visit the Ghost Tree District for the chess match.

On the other hand, Uncle Li Lin had acted swiftly on the matter Wang Chong entrusted him with.

As though out of anger from the bold attempts of the Assassin Pavilion in attempting to assassinate Wang Chong, in just two short days, news had reached the streets. The Imperial Army had found the nest of an assassin organization that seemed to be harboring malicious intentions.

Every single one of them was killed on the spot, and corpses filled the entire courtyard!

This matter caused quite a storm in the capital. It was said that many of the experts of the Imperial Army were mobilized, and five to six commanders were involved in the operation.

Many people had witnessed the operation with their own eyes, and all of them said that there was likely to be a backstory to this matter. Even so, given their dress up, cloaked in black and armed with secret weapons, without a doubt, they were all assassins.

Thus, no one spoke up for them.

When Wang Chong heard of this matter, he chuckled lightly. He wrote a letter to Miyasame Ayaka and dumped the matter to the back of his head.

Just when Wang Chong was living his life peacefully, a commotion was going on in the depths of the royal palace.

The darkness of the night loomed over the sky. It was an abandoned palace in a remote location of the royal palace, but at this moment, it was brightly illuminated by whole rows of lanterns hung on the trees and the roof.

Imperial Army members densely filled the courtyard of the palace, and with a single glance, they numbered in hundreds, perhaps even reaching a thousand.

Today was a huge day for the Imperial Army members. There wasn’t a single person in the Imperial Army who didn’t know that this was the day for the auction for the second weapon of the number one blacksmith of Great Tang. As such, many commanders had arrived early and were waiting in anticipation for the unveiling of the weapon.

After the battle between Zhao Fengchen and Huang Xiaotian, there wasn’t a single person here who didn’t know about the sharpness, beauty, and rarity of the Wootz steel sword. To them, this was a huge opportunity to heighten their own strength.

More importantly, this item was exclusive! It was one-of-a-kind, and it was impossible to obtain it anywhere else!

What other weapons could be more fitting than the Wootz steel sword to complement the standing of the Imperial Army!

“I’ve finally waited for the day for the unveiling of gongzi’s new weapon!”

“It’s a weapon that took an entire month to forge! I truly can’t wait to see what it is. If only he could forge more of it!”

“The first weapon has been taken by Commander Zhao. I wonder who’ll be lucky one this time!”

“Indeed! If only I had a Wootz steel sword as well. Why must it be so expensive!”

…

The courtyard of the palace was bustling.

Everyone knew that Wang Chong had entrusted the sales of the Wootz steel weapons to his uncle, Li Lin, and at this moment, there wasn’t a single person in the Imperial Army who didn’t know of Li Lin.

“It’s starting, it’s starting!”

Suddenly, a commotion sounded. Everyone lifted their heads and saw the doors before them open. Brilliant light poured out from the interior of the room.
