Chapter 4825: His Plan

After all, he was just an peripheral member of the Duo Luo Kingdom. Knowing this much was probably his maximum limit.

Perhaps it was because he was shrewd and intelligent, accumulating information secretly over time.

As for the core secrets, an outsider like him would certainly be unaware.

Duan Yue dropped the man's corpse. Before leaving the study, a Demon Emperor's Flame silently ignited on the puppet master's body.

In just a moment, it burned the man completely, leaving not a trace of ash.

Who knew if there were any bizarre resurrection techniques within the puppet secret arts?

I'll burn you to ashes, so you can "resurrect" properly...

Duan Yue stepped out of the study door and looked up at the clear, azure sky.

Beneath this vast sky, how many despicable creatures, hidden in the shadows where sunlight couldn't reach, were secretly breeding?

Little Kezi breathed a sigh of relief and scurried forward. "Your Majesty, that puppet master was lying."

Duan Yue nodded. After all, a soul search leading to death was not a pleasant or easy matter.

It seemed the puppet master preferred to have Duan Yue cleanly sever his neck than to die from a soul search.

An Hour Later

Ying, the Secret Pavilion's shadow guard leader who had gone to gather information, swiftly entered the study with several other shadow guards and respectfully bowed to Duan Yue.

"Your Majesty." Ying stepped forward, bowing as he presented a thick stack of documents.

All information regarding the Duo Luo Kingdom's recent movements, down to the smallest detail, was contained within these documents.

The study was quiet. After Little Kezi served Duan Yue a cup of tea, he dutifully retreated outside to stand guard.

Several shadow guards stood silently before the writing desk, like wooden stakes.

Only the rustling of papers as Duan Yue flipped through the documents could be heard in the study.

The shadow guards held their breath, awaiting the young Emperor's command.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Duan Yue finished Browse the stack of documents, his face grim.

He slammed his palm heavily on the documents.

A very low pressure permeated the study. The shadow guards, heads bowed, dared not speak.

The documents clearly stated:

The Duo Luo Kingdom had established itself as a nation earlier this year.

It was originally just an insignificant small tribe on the Pingjin Great Grassland, nestled in the缝隙 (gap) between Divine Continent and Cangzhou.

Their size was not even one percent of that of the Barbarian Gang tribe.

Yet, this small tribe had established a nation and now boldly approached Duan Yue, revealing their "Lili'er project" with obvious pride.

This sort of probing was far too obvious.

The Duo Luo Kingdom made it clear: if Duan Yue didn't cooperate with them, they would settle for a second-best option and find others to cooperate with.

Such a disgusting tactic truly made one uncomfortable.

Lili'er No. 9 to No. 0 indicated that there must be at least ten of these "Lili'ers."

Duan Yue put down the stack of documents, pinched his brow, and said coldly, "Issue my oral decree: command General Hugang of the Tiger Rider Army to lead his men to the Pingjin Great Grassland. Within half a month, I want to hear news of the Duo Luo Kingdom's demise."

"Yes."

Duan Yue waved his hand, dismissing everyone. "Let Ye come in."

Ye, the leader of the Secret Pavilion's shadow guards, appeared in the study like a ghost, silently approaching Duan Yue.

Duan Yue didn't even raise his head, frowning at the documents before him.

He pointed a finger at one of the papers. "This Duo Luo Kingdom is extremely mysterious."
