The life-and-death duel between the Ninth Prince and Marquis Zhen Shan ended with the Ninth Prince's victory.
This news spread throughout the Imperial Capital like a thunderclap, shocking countless people.
"Wasn't it said that His Highness the Ninth lacked strength and was no match for the Marquis? How could he possibly have won!"
"For such a domineering prince who disregards the law, I think the Great King himself should punish him."
"I heard that the Ninth Prince won solely because of a Demonic Blade. The demonic path is rife with evil deeds. For him to win using a Demonic Blade is truly despicable!"
The Qin Family lit a fire, and that fire soon burned throughout the Imperial Capital. Su Han's reputation was thoroughly ruined. The public spoke of him with disgust and contempt, and this victory did nothing to redeem his name; on the contrary, his use of the Black Blade made him even more reviled.
