Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

With that, Shangguan Xiao didn't care about the troubles on Feng Qing Lan's end.

If Nan Hua was here, she would definitely understand why Traveling Doctor Liu kept saying that the tenth disciple was a complete troublemaker. He was totally unlike the other disciples who knew how to restrain themselves and behaved properly. On the other hand, he was the one to provoke troubles. Shangguan Xiao chose to leave and ignored Feng Qing Lan. If either one of Nan Hua or Traveling Doctor Liu were here, they would choose the same. Traveling Doctor Liu was already tired with cleaning all the mess that Feng Qing Lan kept on making. He had no idea how this tenth disciple of his could attract trouble from all sides no matter where he goes. Nan Hua didn't want to bother with this tenth senior brother of hers who was making troubles, so she will definitely ignore him. …

<Long distance away, Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City, Imperial Palace>

As Shangguan Xiao was able to regain the victory back from Shi Long Kingdom's side, the news of his victory naturally spread.

Even if he had to pay a lot of prices in the war and many of his soldiers were injured, but victory is a victory. People cared not about the process.

What they cared was the result. Heavenly General Sang had only arrived at Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City when the news of Shi Long Kingdom's defeat spread and the messenger came. Looking at it, their defeat came not long after Heavenly General Sang left General Ma and General Wu. "Trash," Heavenly General Sang muttered. The two generals who followed Heavenly General Sang were silent when they heard Heavenly General Sang's words. They knew very well that Heavenly General Sang was completely disappointed with those two. Even though Heavenly General Sang was the one who promoted them to become temporary generals back then, but their result hadn't been this bad at that time. It was still pretty good overall and Heavenly General Sang was relatively satisfied with their performance. But as time passed, he felt that they were really bad.

They were not able to follow his requirements, which made him thoroughly disappointed. If it was possible, he really wanted to go back and demoted the two of them from the position of a general. "Heavenly General Sang, General Wu had died in the hands of General Shangguan," the messenger added while trembling. Died?

"Good for him." Heavenly General Sang was calm. He didn't care about those two's lives and death. Since General Wu had died, at the very least, his death has been worthwhile and it was not completely useless. Now that he had died, a new general could be picked to help General Ma. And this time, it better be a general who was quite responsible and capable. Heavenly General Sang looked at the gate in front of him and slowly made his way there. He was on his way to meet Emperor Shi Wang.

But this news arrived first. It seemed that the emperor wouldn't be too pleased with it.

Glancing to the side, Heavenly General Sang could see that the nobles were all having fun by themselves. There was faint smell of wine lingering in the air, clear indication that they were all not caring or worrying about the war in the slightest bit. A view that should not have been present in the nobility.

'What a bunch of useless trash.'

Traces of disdain flashed in Heavenly General Sang's eyes before it was converged once more. No matter how much he looked down on these people, Heavenly General Sang would never mention it to anyone. Because he knew better than anyone that his position was not unshakable.

Besides, he was already old and Heavenly General Sang didn't want to make more troubles for himself before his death. He was already one step on the grave and there was no need to add more things that might push him deeper on that step. Bang!

As Heavenly General Sang came near the main hall, the sound of smashing and yelling could be heard. Emperor Shi Wang was angry and venting his anger to the officials around him. Everyone could only kowtow and beg the Emperor to calm down. They couldn't bear the brunt of angering Emperor Shi Wang, so all they could do was to stay quiet and hoped that Emperor Shi Wang would calm down soon. Bang!

"How could those vermin managed to win?" Emperor Shi Wang was pissed off. He thought that Shi Long Kingdom had already proclaimed themselves mighty and powerful. But reality gave him a powerful face slap, making Emperor Shi Wang angry. The news of victory seemed to tell them that their power was still very powerful and that Fei Yang Kingdom was not their match.

Even if Fei Yang Kingdom had been raking in victories against the other kingdoms, they would remain undefeated!

But the news of defeat just had to come at this time. Emperor Shi Wang felt extremely agitated when he thought about it. He couldn't accept this!

"Your Majesty, General Shangguan should have taken advantage of Heavenly General Sang's return to the Capital City in order to win against General Wu and General Ma," one of the ministers tried to pacify Emperor Shi Wang. "Yes, Your Majesty, Fei Yang Kingdom is not very strong and will not be able to repeat the same thing again."

These officials were all trying to say to Emperor Shi Wang that Fei Yang Kingdom's victory was nothing more than a fluke.

There was no way that Fei Yang Kingdom could win against them in other way. Impossible!

Emperor Shi Wang snorted and then sat on his chair. "Why did Heavenly General Sang return?"

"Relying to His Majesty, Heavenly General Sang return because of his health and to arrange for better counterattack to the south."

When the word 'south' was mentioned, Emperor Shi Wang's eased face turned black once more.

The officials who saw this felt that they were doomed today.
