The seventeenth floor of the Heaven-Ascension Tower.
The First Grade experts of Great Zhou gathered, watching the princes' assault on the Emperor and discussing it amongst themselves.
"Do you think His Majesty Xuanlong was really killed by the Flame Emperor?"
"Watch your words!"
"This is an internal affair of the Great Zhou Royal Family. It's not something for First Grade experts with other surnames, like you and me, to discuss. If Prince Emperor Long heard you, he'd take one of your fingers as punishment."
The scene instantly fell silent.
After a long moment.
One of the First Grade experts, trying to break the heavy atmosphere, joked,
"Say,"
"Lord Emperor Long has entered the Abyss, and the Imperial Palace is in chaos. Do you think someone might take this chance to attack the Heaven-Ascension Tower and plunder the secret treasures of Great Zhou?"
As soon as he said this, the deathly silence was swept away, replaced by a cheerful atmosphere.
"HAHAHA!"
