Chapter 1102 - 1102 0646 An Accidental Chain_2

?Chapter 1102: Chapter 0646: An Accidental Chain_2 Chapter 1102: Chapter 0646: An Accidental Chain_2 Emperor Yonghe conveyed Qi Tian’s reaction to the other four princes. Seeing that Qi Tian had raised no objections to the plan they had devised, they could only carry it out temporarily. At the same time, they hastened to consolidate the power of the five imperial palaces and tried every means to gather intelligence regarding the whereabouts of Emperor Tian Rui and Qi Tian’s subordinates.

Time flew by, and before long, three days had passed. The whole Eastern Capital City remained calm, and Chaoyang Palace made no moves, with no news escaping its walls. This suggested that Chaoyang Palace was far more successful at rooting out traitors than Jianwu Palace and the other imperial palaces. It was impossible that Chaoyang Palace housed no spies, but whatever number they had must have been minimal and none deployed by any of the brothers. Otherwise, they would have received some internal information from Chaoyang Palace by now.

Emperor Jianwu and the other four princes were quite dismayed by this situation, but no matter how dismayed, there was nothing they could do. They had sent spies to Chaoyang Palace before and thought they had succeeded; occasionally, they did receive some intelligence from these spies. But now, receiving no news at all indicated that Emperor Chaoyang must have conducted a thorough purge internally, leaving none of their spies uncaught.

The five brothers had to console themselves by thinking that receiving no good news was the best news. They hoped to enter the Saint’s Tomb as soon as possible and, like Emperor Bahuang, find artifacts above the Half-step Nascent Soul level within. They could then equip themselves and their closest confidants with these powerful items, greatly enhancing their strength and giving them the capability to directly confront Chaoyang Palace. They would no longer need to act subservient as they had been; they could boldly face Chaoyang Palace head-on should any issue arise.
