Chapter 73 - The Fish That Slipped Through the Net

Land of the Hundred Kingdoms, Yin Kingdom

It has been five months since Song Yang went into seclusion to cultivate the Scripture of Seven Souls.

In the magnificent royal palace of the Yin Kingdom, the decor is lavish. 

While most of it is made of gold rather than spiritual stones, sacred springs, or valuable cultivation minerals like those found in the palaces of the Five Dynasties, in the context of the Land of the Hundred Kingdoms, these decorations are considered extremely luxurious.

Inside the palace, sitting on the throne, was a young man. 

Instead of donning a golden python robe like emperors typically do, the young man wore a red robe with golden stripes, exuding a terrifying aura.

Upon closer inspection, one could notice that, by his side, serving him as if he were a mere eunuch, stood a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance, dressed in a golden robe that represented the King himself.
