"Yasui Tokiyuki is dead?"
Xiumeng's news was undoubtedly a bombshell.
The great name of Emperor Yasui, there were probably few in the Transcendent community who didn't know of it.
As a widely acknowledged Second Phase, just one step away from becoming what legends called the New Gods, despite often being unwell, few would associate him with death.
The veracity of this news was a bit explosive; for a moment, it nearly moved everyone.
But being moved was one thing... I admit your lordship has brought shocking information, but what does his death have to do with us?
So much so that we have to hear this cursed news first thing in the morning, you're not suggesting we killed him, right?
As rational intellectuals, after a short moment of shock, they were obviously not satisfied with this answer, and the crowd turned even more indignant.
...
Not quite right, but now you're on the mark.
