Chapter 123: Chapter 123

This was out of fear that some restriction within the ancient tomb might isolate ordinary transmission talismans.

Hearing that Skyler wanted him to fetch that Ten-Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman from behind the Imperial Elder Pavilion’s plaque, the servant’s face turned even uglier.

Wishing he could bury his head into the floor tiles, he hesitated for a long while before slowly opening his mouth. "Your Majesty, the soul lamps of those nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors have already extinguished."

"The ancestors in the Imperial Elder Pavilion told this old slave not to tell you!"

"What?! The Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors have all fallen?!"

At this moment, turbulent waves surged in Skyler’s heart, his eyes revealing thick disbelief.

"Nonsense! You slave, do not dare deceive me!"

"The strength of those nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors is capable of suppressing a dynasty. They are nation-guarding existences! In all of the Silver Willow dynasty, who could possibly be their match?!"

If just one had fallen, it might have been understandable.

In the Silver Willow dynasty there were a rare few who could rival the nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors, such as the Sword Sect Master.

But for all nine to perish, no faction in the Silver Willow dynasty had the strength to accomplish that.

If the nine joined forces, they were comparable to a Deity.

But no matter how much Skyler refused to believe it, nothing could alter the inevitable conclusion.

He could only watch helplessly as the South-Subduing King and the rebel armies slaughtered their way into the Silver Willow Imperial Palace.

Three days had passed since the capital of the Silver Willow dynasty was breached. Throughout these three days, the capital remained in a state of turbulent unrest.

However, this had very little impact on Adam.

Every day, Adam stayed in the Inkwood Academy reading historical texts. Currently, he was the only person left in the academy.

This actually left him with fewer scruples, allowing him to focus entirely on cultivating the techniques he had comprehended without the slightest fear of exposure.

When night fell, he would return to the Vernal Manor. Although the streets of the capital were chaotic with soldiers from both sides slaughtering each other, given his cultivation, absolutely no one could detect his movements.

On this day, Adam was browsing through historical texts in Inkwood Academy as usual when the tightly shut main doors were pushed open.

Adam looked toward the entrance in confusion, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

"Adam, We have had quite a hard time looking for you! To think you would still be staying in the Inkwood Academy at a time like this!"

Oswin was clad in dragon robes, walking with the strides of a tiger and the majesty of a dragon, he already vaguely possessed the aura of an emperor.

Just as he crossed the threshold, he shouted loudly toward Adam from a distance.

"Oswin! Why are you here?!"

Adam was highly astonished, he never expected Oswin to actually come looking for him at the Inkwood Academy.

As early as yesterday, the turmoil in the capital had settled. It was also yesterday that Oswin declared himself Emperor within the Silver Willow Imperial Palace and announced it to the world.

Today, the difference in their statuses was like heaven and earth. Adam thought Oswin had forgotten about him, he never expected him to come looking for him on the second day of his reign.

Hearing Adam address Oswin in such a manner, the eunuch beside Oswin could not help but shout angrily. "Insolence! A lowly Inkwood official like you dares to directly call His Majesty by his name? You are simply audacious to the extreme!"

"Silence! Adam is my close friend. You, where do you get the nerve to reprimand him like this?!" Oswin roared.

"Scram! Hurry up and scram for me! From now on, whenever you see Adam, if We hear a single word of disrespect from you again, I will have your head!"

Seeing Oswin this furious for the first time, the eunuch panicked, he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for forgiveness, yet he made no move to leave the academy.

"What, why is a slave like you still staying here? I wish to catch up with Adam. Why haven’t you left yet?!"

Seeing that the eunuch had no intention of leaving, a flash of killing intent passed through Oswin’s eyes, his words laced with heavy threats.

Although the eunuch was trembling in fear, he still showed not the slightest intention of leaving.

Watching this scene play out, a look of amusement appeared in Adam’s eyes. It seems Oswin’s position on the throne is not very secure!

This eunuch claimed on the surface to be protecting Oswin, speaking high-soundingly about His Majesty’s safety, but in reality it was nothing more than a way to monitor him.

Adam had seen this kind of puppet emperor trope more than once in television dramas in his past life.

However, this did not have much to do with Adam, saving him last time was already his limit, he could not possibly protect Oswin for a lifetime.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what important matter brings you here to find this one?"

Adam was no fool. If Oswin had truly come just to catch up, he would not have deliberately tried to dismiss the eunuchs and guards around him.

Coming here today meant Oswin definitely had something to discuss with him.

Though, given his own ordinary outward performance, Adam had no idea what Oswin could possibly see in him!

Oswin seemed to catch the underlying meaning in Adam’s words, he found a seat, sat straight down, looked at Adam, and said word by word.

"Brother Adam, you possess world-shocking talent. How could you stoop to being confined in a lowly Inkwood Academy? I am certain that Brother Adam can step forward to assist me."

A trace of surprise flashed in Adam’s eyes, he did not expect Oswin to actually want him to come out and assist him!

Oswin’s words instantly put Adam on high alert, he normally kept a low profile and never showed off.

What world-shocking talent could he possibly have? Even the original owner of this body was nothing more than a down-and-out scholar.

Oswin was actually well aware of exactly how much capability Adam had.

If Oswin wanted to make him a high-ranking cabinet official, Adam would not be surprised, but asking him to assist him was highly debatable.
