The King of Shu-lik fell in a pool of blood. The killer stood before the throne and lifted the dagger that was still dripping with blood. He then kicked the eunuch down the steps.
At that moment, everything within the main hall froze and everyone stood still. The first person to react was Prime Minister Shi. He had been waiting for this moment and instead of being in accordance with the agreement of "taking the initiative" to be a hostage, he ran out of the hall hurriedly.
Fang Wenshi was the second to react. The Dragon King had carried out the worst one out of the three borrowed blade murders. However, the scholar did not have a choice, his life was linked to this bloodthirsty killer. Thus, he could only follow his movements and ran towards the throne in a panic.
