Chapter 462: A Royal Decree 7

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It had been some time since Pang Juan died.

After the news was left to brew for a dozen days…

The fact that Pang Juan was dead had spread all over the continent.

This was, after all, the death of a grand master.

It set off an astonishing wave throughout the lands.

The moment the first local folk got to know of this news, they excitedly asked the people around them.

“Have you heard the news recently?”

The others could only reply, “What news?”

The news bearer clenched their fist and said, “It seems like someone above the grand master level has appeared on the mainland.”

“How is that possible?!”

Everyone was in an uproar, they all shook their heads in disbelief.

Then, the informant gave them a look as if they had witnessed the battle scene first hand and explained in a very haughty manner.

“How is it not possible? I heard the seven grand masters have long been the strategic weapons of each major country, but they are still secretly trying to cultivate in order to become more powerful than the others. So, it is not surprising that there are powerhouses above that level.”

“No no no. Isn’t there something else about that? I heard that this transcendent individual is not any of the seven known grand masters. I had initially wondered which of the grand masters could break through the limits and enter the new realm first…”

“Right right, that’s what I heard too. It seems that it’s a young man who is not that old.”

“I heard he went up against the old gentleman Pang and Gongsun alone.”

“Forget fighting them, Pang Juan seems to have been killed and Gongsun was heavily injured!”

The moments those words were dropped.

The entire audience went silent.

After a long time, someone then licked their lips with a frightened expression and asked breathlessly, “That can’t be, Pang Juan is one of the two grand masters of the Eastern Ling nation. Has he really been killed?”

“Definitely. When I passed the border some time ago, I saw a coffin being transported back to Eastern Ling. The whole procession was very solemn.” Could Pang Juan be in the coffin?

“There were initially two grand masters in the Eastern Ling nation but they somehow lost one out of the blue… The emperor of Dongling must be bawling their eyes out.”

A powerful grand master kicked the bucket before he could even ascend to a higher level… Tsk!

“Among the several large nations, Northern Liang was originally the weakest, but in the blink of an eye, they are now the strongest. What is this situation called again?”

“Prosperity and decline never last.”

There was another wave of silence.

“If you think about it, if Eastern Ling is left with one grand master, they are currently the weakest in power then.”

“…what a pity.”

“What’s there to pity?”

“What do you think?” The person who understood the situation sighed and said, “Everyone knows of the arrogance of the Easter Ling emperor in the past!! He had the support of two grand masters and a powerful army! The emperor of Eastern Ling was extremely confident and arrogant but now, as luck would have it, one of his trump cards is dead! There’s only one left.” That was simply too funny.

“The emperor of Eastern Ling is probably going to switch from being arrogant to having a panic attack now!! Hahahaha.”

Nobody in the world gloated at Pang Juan for dying but instead sighed with horror. A grand master had died, not some senior official of Eastern Ling.

Even though the grand masters had their own loyalty toward their motherland, they were still well-respected on the mainland, so most people felt sorry.

Not to mention, it concerned the current situation on the mainland as well.

“If only one grand master is left, that means that Northern Liang in the northwest and Daming in the south could attack at any time…”

“But I don’t think Northern Liang will invade any time soon.”

“Why not?”

“The current empress of Northern Liang does not have the courage.”

Although Northern Liang had always been led by women, it was said that the current empress was still in her twenties and had neither wedded nor had children. No one knew if she was sick or if there was some other issue.

An empress who had not borne even one offspring…

Would not have the courage to fight against other nations for supremacy.

“…”

After the silence.

Someone said, “But Northern Liang has a shrewd State Preceptor. Now they not only have one grand master but also a powerhouse who exceeds grand masters.”

If war were to break out, it did not look like they would lose!
