Xu Shan was somewhat relieved that his secret was still protected, at least for now. He still didn't want to experience the moment where that secret was exposed.

He kept the body of the third Shadow Guard in his storage  ring as he couldn't devour it for the time being, especially when he was in the presence of Ye Han.

He also started picking up the three flags, storing them safely. The flag formation had many flaws as it needed three people to use it and couldn't control people with powerful Celestial Spirits, but it was still a treasure.

Even though he didn't see himself using that in the future, he still brought the flags with him before going back inside the castle.

As Xu Shan walked back towards his room, he passed through the bloody hallways that showed the aftermath of Ye Han's battle.

"Did you kill everyone?" Xu Shan asked, walking carefully to avoid staining his clothes with blood.

"Excluding the King and some Royals. They are merely unconscious," Ye Han calmly responded, pointing in the distance where the King was lying on the ground in an uncomfortable position.

It was only when he looked at the King that he turned his head slightly, "Maybe also with a few broken ribs..."

"Give them some healing pills when they wake up," Xu Shan stated before reaching the entrance of the room, not sparing a single glance at the King or his unconscious daughter.

He simply went back inside the room. Now that he had dealt with everything, he finally wanted to get some sleep. As for the reward for this quest, he left that for later. In any case, he couldn't leave now to collect that reward since he had to solve the mess with Celestial Palace first.

"It's strange. Xinren still didn't appear. Did something happen to her?" Closing the door from the inside, he fell on the bed, holding the Book of Desires in his hand firmly.

Early in the morning, the sun started rising in the sky, casting a warm glow over the horizon. Even Xu Shan's room was bright enough, getting warmer.

Xu Shan slowly opened his eyes, realizing that he had only slept for a few hours, but he felt refreshed nonetheless.

With a groan, he got up from the bed and stretched his tired muscles. He looked at the book in his hand. He didn't even realize when he had fallen asleep last night, still having the Book of Desires in his embrace.

He kept the Book back in his storage ring before getting up. Even though it was still only six in the morning, he could still hear some noises outside his room.

Curious, he walked closer to the door and opened it, only to catch a strange sight.

All the Nobles were sitting on their knees before his room, and that group included the King and the Princess as well.

Just last night, the King was thinking about controlling the Third Prince. However, everything had turned dark at that time. When he came to his senses, he felt that many of his bones were broken while he was lying on his stomach in the hallway.

He wasn't alone either. His daughter and everyone else was there as well, in a similar condition.

His initial thoughts were that Xu Shan found out about their scheme to make him their puppet and that's why they were in this situation. However, when Ye Han noticed people getting up, he gave some minor healing herbs that weren't as precious as the healing herbs that Xu Shan carried with him.

Ye Han told the King everything that happened, including the fact that they tried to kill the Third Prince.

As soon as the King heard it, his face went pale. He could finally understand why most of the hallway was painted red after just one night!

He could only bless his lucky stars that he was still alive. However, this matter wasn't to be taken lightly.

Just to get forgiveness from the Third Prince, he had been sitting on his knees in front of Xu Shan's room ever since he woke up. The other Nobles also did the same.

Initially, his daughter didn't want to put on an embarrassing display but in the end, she also gave in and dropped to her knees.

As soon as Xu Shan opened the room, all the Nobles raided their heads. The King was the first, asking for forgiveness and speaking about how their bodies weren't under their control. The other Nobles followed suit.

"I know. You weren't under your control. However, does that change the fact that you tried to kill a Prince?" Xu Shan frowned. Even though he wanted to let the King live, he had his own reasons.

"I wanted to wait for you all to wake up, before deciding what to do with you. Should I have you all executed publicly? Someone needs to take responsibility, don't you think so?"

Even though he asked something akin to a question, the King's face was already as white as a plain sheet of paper.

His heart skipped a beat. He could already see his head rolling on the ground after execution and Xu Shan certainly had the authority and strength to do something like that, thanks to Ye Han.

In his eyes, the question of Xu Shan was more than just a question. It was something akin to an order, telling that it was going to happen!

He couldn't help but look in the direction of his daughter, with a complicated look, as if he was looking at her the last time. He couldn't help but pat his daughter's head once before turning back to Xu Shan.

"I'll take the responsibility! I'll atone for my sins! Please let my daughter live!" The King slammed his head on the ground with full force.

Seeing that sudden reaction, even Xu Shan was taken aback. The King used such force that his entire skull was broken on the spot and he ended up dying!

Xu Shan was stunned by the extreme reaction. Was the fear of the Eternal Dynasty really that strong?

He only wanted the King to give him some benefits in return for everything that happened last night. But to think that the King would directly kill himself?! That level of fear...?

He couldn't help but glance at Ye Han, who was still perfectly calm, as if he expected this already.

The young princess couldn't even react for a long time, watching her father bleed. It was only after a long time, that she finally reacted, screaming at the top of her lungs, "Father!"
