After discussing matters further with everyone, Lu Qian declared the meeting adjourned. But after the others left one after another, he discovered that Platinum Bishop Salas had actually returned.
Seeing Salas return, Lu Qian knew he must have something important to tell him, and it might be something extremely important.
"Your Highness."
Platinum Bishop Salas bowed respectfully to Lu Qian.
"Come with me."
Lu Qian then led Salas into a secret chamber behind him. Even after entering, Salas still seemed a little uneasy and asked:
"Your Highness, is this place secure enough?"
"Rest assured. If even this place isn't secure, there would be no point in me running Spirit Hall as its Holy Son."
Was this place secure?
Of course it was!
To ensure the absolute security of his secret chambers at Headquarters, Lu Qian had directly copied the methods ancient emperors used on the craftsmen who built their tombs: kill them all!
Only the dead would truly keep secrets.
Although Lu Qian was no tyrant, sometimes he had to employ thunderous measures.
Besides intimidating his enemies, he needed to intimidate his own people in the same way.
"Your Highness, this matter is actually an order from the Great Enshrined."
"Oh?"
Lu Qian frowned, but said nothing more, simply listening quietly as Salas continued.
Seeing that Lu Qian's mood was still all right, Salas continued:
"Your Highness, the Great Enshrined hopes you can take care of something before heading to Spirit City this time."
"Have me take care of something? Hmph, don't tell me it's assassinating Emperor Xue Ye."
Lu Qian had really only tossed that out casually, but his words instantly stunned Salas.
Seeing Salas's expression, Lu Qian was dumbfounded too. Surely Qian Daoliu wasn't really asking him to assassinate Emperor Xue Ye!
"Your Highness, could you already know?"
