For the next seven days, the entire imperial palace remained calm and peaceful. The morning court commenced on time every day, with both the Crown Prince and King Huai in attendance without fail, and no information leaked from the palace.
Da Xia gave no explanation whatsoever regarding the terrifying phenomena that had occurred in the back hills of the imperial palace a few days prior.
This was part of the plan discussed between the Crown Prince and King Huai. The calmer Da Xia appeared, the more suspicious other factions became.
Let these people speculate on their own.
It was precisely Da Xia's stance that induced fear in other factions. Though the thunder calamity from that day was exceedingly terrifying and would have spelt doom for anyone confronting it, ultimately, it was the Emperor Xiadi who faced it, a peerless sovereign across the ages and the foremost martial artist in the world.
