"How could this have happened? Does he really kill just anyone?" City Lord Guang murmured in astonishment. Wu Tian had killed the Regent King, which secretly pleased King Xiuyuan, who wouldn't have genuinely wanted Wu Tian dead for it. Then Wu Tian killed Wangshi Daozuo and a large group of court officials. That enraged King Xiuyuan, but City Lord Guang believed that once he revealed Wu Tian was the successor to *that* man, even King Xiuyuan would have to show some deference.
But now, Wu Tian had slaughtered the last remaining male heir of the royal family!
