The Old Emperor looked ancient, but his aura was terrifying enough to scare a man to death.
An emperor's fury meant a million corpses.
The Old Emperor's single utterance of the word "kill" signified a complete reshuffling of power in White Jade City. Countless factions would be annihilated, while others would rise from the ashes. The entire political landscape of the Court was about to be turned upside down.
This was because even First Grade Officials had participated in the coup, a testament to its massive scale. Now that the Crown Prince and his allies had failed, all those involved—individuals and factions alike—would face the cruelest of punishments.
New inmates would be sent to the Dali Temple and the Imperial Music Bureau. Countless others would be exiled a thousand miles, fated to die along the way.
