"Master, Elder Yan is dead." Seeing the woman on the black lotus, an evil light flashed in the eyes of the black-clothed men, but they still acted respectfully.
"Yan Gang is dead!" The woman was taken aback.
"Yes, today, he was beaten to death by a man of the puppet emperor at the Golden Phoenix Temple."
"A man of the emperor! How could that be possible? He was imprisoned in the harem without any soldiers. Where did he get a subordinate?" The woman's expression changed as her eyes opened wider in surprise.
"It's true, this matter has spread all over the palace."
"No one knows where he got two powerhouses of the War Emperor Realm."
"Two War Emperors!" The woman exclaimed and for a while, she couldn't get herself to calm down.
"Could it be that in the battle for the dragon veins ten years ago, some War Emperors of the Divine Dragon Empire did not die? Seeing that the Divine Dragon Kingdom was about to be overthrown, they reappeared and came to assist the little emperor. Well, in this case, our great cause can't be achieved for now. It seems to have become more difficult..." The woman wrinkled her eyebrows and said with a frown.
"Li Tianba is a reckless man. With regards to political affairs he listened to Yan Gang strictly. If Yan Gang had managed to control him fully, it would be equivalent to our Holy Sun Sec taking control of the Divine Dragon Kingdom. Unexpectedly..." The woman frowned.
"Yes, Elder Yan was a vital chess piece you taught and planted in the court. He could be used to great effect. We didn't expect him to die so suddenly like this." The black-clothed men remarked.
"The plan that my Holy Sun sect has been planning for so many years was ruined. The little emperor has laid waste to our meticulous planning. We must find an opportunity to put him to death!" The woman calmed back down and added with newfound resolve. Her voice had gone back to being coquettish and sounded full of temptation.
"Unexpectedly, such a change has happened. My teacher did not place a master here therefore this time, it seems that I'll be forced to take action myself."
Suddenly, the dark lotus under the woman began to release dark lights violently as if responding to her mood. Her body also exuded a huge evil aura making the entire space seem to have fallen into the netherworld.
"There is no need for the leader to act personally, us brothers are willing to contribute to the cause." At this time, Yamada Ye and Yamada Ying, the two black-clothed men said in unison.
"You?"
"With only you two?"
"Yan Gang is an elder of my Holy Sun Sect. He is a master at the 7th level of War Spirit and yet he was forcefully killed. If even he couldn't succeed sending you will be like sending chickens to the slaughter." The woman said.
"Master, we can avoid those two strong cultivators. As the saying goes, arrows are hard to defend." Yamada Ye and Yamada Ying showed a wicked smirk together.
"Arrows hidden in the dark are indeed hard to defend, Haha." The woman smiled again, she seemed to like this sentence: "Well, I'll give you a chance to perform."
Just listening to this voice could make people feel better. Yamada Ye and Yamada Ying grew even more motivated: "Don't worry, the assassins from the Sun country know how to play with the shade. In the dark they are invincible! "
"Since Yan Gang has died, the Prime Minister's Mansion is very likely to be raided soon, and this stronghold will no longer be available. I will find a new location for planning. Meanwhile, I hope you two can bring me good news."
"Gluck."
The woman smiled, and the black lotus blooming under her began to close layer by layer, wrapping up her graceful body. At the same time, the black lotus gradually faded away, turning into smoke and dissipating.
Soon, it disappeared as if it had never been there.
"If she personally takes action, the powerhouses of the Battle Emperor Realm might not be able to stop it!"
The Holy Sun Sect was a mysterious power on the Island. Before the Divine Dragon Kingdom moved its capital to the Island, they had taken root here for a long time. The sect had a strong background, and its strength was not lower than that of the imperial court, and might even be stronger than the imperial court.
Yan Gang, the prime minister at the time, was actually an elder of the Holy Sun Sect.
The Holy Sun Sect originally planned to use Yan Gang to control Li Tianba and achieve their goal of indirectly controlling the court. However, Zhao Hao suddenly acted and killed Yan Gang thwarting their plans.
After the black lotus woman disappeared, the two brothers began to plan.
"How are we going to kill him? There are two Battle Emperor Realm powerhouses beside him, so it's definitely not possible to force our way in. We have to ensure that he will not see the sun tomorrow."
"The little emperor is still waiting for the officials in the imperial study room to deliver gold. While there is no one in the harem, we will sneak in first, and then hide in the dragon toilet. The dragon toilet is the emperor's imperial latrine. Apart from the emperor, no one else is allowed close to it apart from during cleaning."
"I understand. The little emperor's subordinates are strong, but he himself is not strong. When he enters the toilet, we can take care of him."
After some more planning, the two exited the secret room while grinning.
...
Imperial Study Room…
Dong Zhuo was guarding the door with his huge sword.
The officials from the central government walked out from the inside with tears on their faces as if their treasuries were hollowed out.
In the hall, a golden light shined brilliantly, seemingly able to blind anyone if they looked at it directly. Boxes full of gold were neatly stacked inside. Each box had twenty thousand taels, and the total number of boxes was forty-eight.
"Let's go."
Zhao Hao put all the gold into the system warehouse and ordered.
After that, he stepped out and Huang Diewu and Dong Zhuo followed as he left the imperial study room.
As soon as Zhao Hao left the imperial study room, an old gray-haired eunuch rushed up and fell to his knees at Zhao Hao's feet and shouted: "Your Majesty, this old slave has finally waited to this day."
Zhao Hao jumped back in shock.
