"Reporting to Your Majesty! An urgent dispatch from the imperial capital: several immortal gods have infiltrated the capital and are spying on critical locations, including the Hall of Myriad Emperors, the palace's inner compounds, and the imperial treasury. Their number is estimated at seven to nine! We await Your Majesty's decision!"
That day, Jian Shang was quietly cultivating his newly acquired techniques and profound mysteries when an urgent, panicked report from the Forbidden Guard suddenly came from outside. Afraid the Huan Emperor had not heard clearly, the guard repeated it several times.
"Trouble... has come at last! Liu Bang, oh, Liu Bang, you truly were a child of fortune. Even in death, you've brought me so much trouble, with so many descended immortal gods seeking revenge for you..."
A sphere of dazzling lightning hovered above his palm before suddenly sinking into it. Jian Shang opened his eyes, lightning blazing within them, and muttered helplessly.
When he had resolutely slain Han King Liu Bang, Jian Shang had already expected to become a target for numerous descended immortal gods. He had even fought a great battle against them then. Now the repercussions had reached the Nine Dragons Imperial Capital.
Even thinking with his toes, he could guess what those immortal gods were doing infiltrating the capital's critical locations. They were merely searching for traces of the Mysterious Supreme Treasure.
Originally, in the eyes of the immortal gods filling the heavens, Liu Bang, a child of fortune, had been the person most likely to acquire the Mysterious Supreme Treasure. Thus, more than half the immortal gods and almost every Upper Realm faction had watched his every move. They had probably even counted every hair on his body!
Who could have known that Han King Liu Bang would fall at the Huan Emperor's hands,
