Chapter 275: Xing Tao
” Don’t worry Mom, we can deal with it together, don’t think too much about it and just believe me. I know how to deal with them. ”
Jayden said showing an assuring smile when he saw her tensed expression.
Jia sighed again and nodded, now she would have to prepare even more so that they could cope with the king’s attack.
But imagining the expression on her aunt’s face, Jia felt a little satisfied, Jia hadn’t done anything to her aunt even after she broke her trust because of her own lacking strength, so even though it was a little cruel it was nothing too much in this cultivation world.
” Mom, I’m going to cultivate, I’ll be back in a few hours, let’s eat together at that time. ”
Jayden said as he stood up.
Jia just nodded, she had a lot to think about right now, she closed her work and decided to think of ways to stop the king’s plans.
After walking out of the room, Jayden went to the first floor then entering his room he immediately opened the portal to the Nether World, then stepping through it he immediately started the training.
*******
In another part of the Murim world, inside a big castle that is the most luxurious building of the entire Kingdom, the big hall that is most of the time filled with a lot of people was today almost empty.
Two figures could be seen sitting at two big golden thrones, one was a fat man with a big belly who looked to be around 60 years old and the other was a woman who seemed to be of similar age.
This woman whose hair had almost turned white overnight by the sad news, is the only queen of the Beginning Kingdom and the wife of the king.
And to her side, the king although looked a lot more calm than the queen but had a big frown on his face.
Xing Tao is the king of the Beginning Kingdom and his wife Xing An is the queen, although the king previously had more queens and concubines but all of them died mysteriously while only Xing An remained.
Xing Tao has three sons, all of them with Xing An, and just now he had received the news of his third son’s death, although he liked the first son most since he is the most talented among the rest, but he still felt bad receiving the news of his little kid dying.
” Tell me everything in detail, don’t miss anything. ” He said, his voice sounding angry as his fatty cheeks jumped up and down.
Although the king is stout, still he doesn’t look too fat because of his height which stands at 6 feet, and his strength at the 9th stage of the Core Formation realm.
A man kneeling in front of him, responded with a nod as he began telling what he had seen:
” Yesterday night, some maids informed me that the third prince hadn’t been coming out of his room, even after a few days and a stench was coming from inside so I decided to check it.
When I opened the door, it was then that I saw the body of the Third prince lying on the bed with a big hole in his body, he seemed to have died a few days ago. ”
The kneeling man finished.
” What about his guards? Where were they the entire time? ” The King asked playing with a sphere made of gold that was of the size of an apple in his hand.
” W- We have tried looking for them, but it seems all of them have already fled to somewhere, their search is still being carried out. ”
He replied and thought that the king might get angry at him for telling such bad news, he is the person responsible for informing the king about any news and it was just the 8th day of his at the work since the previous man was killed by the king because he delivered some bad news.
” So, no one saw my third son after he returned from the Divine Sword sect? ” The King said staring at the golden sphere.
” Yes, we heard the news that he was badly injured in the sect competition by Qiang, who is the grandson of the third elder and son of one of the army generals. ” He reported respectfully.
The king massaged his temples and asked:
” Tell me the news about the Black Thunder organization. ”
The man in front gulped down his saliva and began reporting:
” Because of the unexpected attack on one of the Black Thunder organization’s bases, the entire team six was wiped out while some members of team four and five died, we still haven’t found any clue behind the perpetrators of that event. ”
*Boom*
Xing Tao slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne, his voice was getting heavier and heavier.
” And what about the Energy Stone? ” Xing Tao asks, as a thick killing intent envelopes his body.
” T- There hadn’t been any news about the energy stone yet, both the Black Thunder organization and they are still looking for it. ” He said meekly.
” Did you find who had stolen my precious golden bamboo from the forest? ” Xing Tao asks.
” N- No, we are still searching. ” The man said, now he was sure that the king is definitely going to kill him soon.
” What happened with Bi Wu? He went there with my third son, have you found him? ” The King asks after a minute.
” H- He was found dead, some distance away from the Divine Sword sect. ” The man replied while trembling in fear.
” I heard that Xie wanted to talk to me, what happened with him? ”
Xing Tao asks, his expression looked terrifying.
” H- He wants to ask for the king’s help to avenge his son, Chang Ho, who was killed by the Matriarch of the Divine Sword sect.
She has delivered him to his father in a very bad condition, even though Lord Xie tried everything he could, in the end he failed to save his son, so he wants to punish Wang Jia and also her son Wang Jin who humiliated Chang Ho by making him walk around the sect in his underwear like a dog while making him shout something very disgraceful. ” He finished.
The King fell into deep thoughts when he heard the name of Wang Jin, even though he is his son, Xing Tao doesn’t acknowledge him, he is someone insignificant, just a part of a failed plan.
” And what about the research of the Buddhist sect, why haven’t they been reporting anything lately? ”
Xing Tao asked, with each piece of news his face kept distorting more and more.
” T- The Buddhist sect have informed us that the entire cave where they were conducting the research was destroyed, all the people they had captured were freed and all the members of the Buddhist s- sect present there completely d- disappeared, though there were signs of blood, it looked like someone had m- mercilessly tortured them before killing them and removing the bodies. ” He said in trembling voice.
