The Dark Emperor’s Treasure (3)

The more she saw, the more curious Jun Wu Xie became about just how powerful the Dark Emperor who had fallen really was. Everything depicted upon the murals showed the amazing achievements and glorious deeds the Dark Emperor had done completely unparalleled by anyone in the Middle Realm. Among all the wall murals, one in particular left a deep impression upon Jun Wu Xie. The man wearing the mask was seated straight back upon a high seat and before him, knelt twenty five men.

In a formation based on a hierarchy of ranks.

Four men knelt in the lead, with nine more behind them, and finally twelve prostrated themselves in the third row at the back.

If Jun Wu Xie's guess was not wrong, then that should be the twenty five men standing at the apex of the pyramid in the Middle Realm.

The Four Sides, Nine Temples, and the Twelve Palaces.
