While the entire Beihan Region was in shock, Chen Fan was sitting in the middle of the Arctic Hall at the Sky-Swallowing Palace.
Chen Fan was sitting lazily on the emperor's chair, which was made of gold and copper; it had nine pythons twining around it. Xiao Mang was next to him, feeding Chen Fan some grapes.
Many dead bodies of the royal family members had been removed from the Arctic Hall by the servants.
Many leaders of the Grotto-heavens and the strong families were standing respectfully in the hall, but a lot of them had disappeared.
The leader of the Chu family, Chu Yuanding, said as he knelt on his knees, "Perfected Cultivator, the entire Zhao family has been razed to the ground. Only ordinary members who don't cultivate or some criminals are left. However, the Heavenly Ancestor took Prince Zhao Duming before he left and we couldn't stop him."
