Smiling in face of the pressure the man called Tao Xiang was intentionally releasing, Bai Long said, ”I wish to have an audience with the King. And no, someone of your status cannot ask what business I have with him.”

Hearing those words everyone had a shocked face with their mouths wide open, while Tao Xiang also was stunned for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, ”Come inside... I'll inform the Majesty, and ask if he wants to grant you his audience.”

While the general public might see the Bai Kingdom as a newly made one which couldn't pose any threat to a long-existing Kingdom like theirs, Tai Xiang as the strongest general knew the truth.

The Zhu Kingdom was strong, but not much stronger than the Bai Kingdom.

Therefore, even though he had confidence in winning against the Bai Kingdom if they did go to war, Tao Xiang knew that the losses they incurred wouldn't be worth it.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Not to mention how many of the other Kingdoms could take the opportunity to wipe them out, just because they could without having to spend much.

Bearing with the obvious disdain, since he didn't dare hurt that snobby prince and cause a war, Tao Xiang left to inform the King, while the soldiers even more respectfully asked Bai Long to come with them.

Once Bai Long, and Tao Xiang both were no longer visible, the crowd which was hadn't said a word immediately broke out in chaos.

”Is that really the same Tao Xiang who slaughtered so many clans since they were thinking of rebelling?”

”Hey, do you remember that rumour of his Majesty being close to death due to assassins from the Bai Kingdom, attacking him?”

”I did! But... Didn't they announce that the rumour was fake?”

”You idiot know nothing. If it was fake, wouldn't his Majesty have appeared and said so himself? Also, why would Tao Xiang kill that prince from the Bai Kingdom on the spot, if he wasn't afraid of the repercussions?”

”Does that mean... His Majesty is really close to dying?!”

As someone spoke those words loudly, the news of the King dying soon, and the Bai Kingdom taking over them turned into the hottest rumour of the capital city.

...

Going through the opened gates, Bai Long directly entered the main palace in which he caused a huge commotion with his Yin Puppets.

”How come there are so many guards here? Is your King that scared?”

Gritting their teeth and not saying anything, since the reason behind increasing the security was due to the assassins from the Bai Kingdom having caused such a huge ruckus, the soldiers increased their pace.

Chuckling at this loudly, Bai Long ignored the wrath filled gazes from the soldiers who standing in attendance at every few feet.

Following the guards, Bai Long entered a room which was filled with more luxurious tapestry, carpets, and furniture than what he saw outside in the corridors.

Sitting on a sofa which was quite soft, Bai Long once again chuckled from how many soldiers were standing guard around the room.
