nor movement.
After half a day, his body temperature slowly dispersed… … on his body, every indication of life, seemed to have been extinguished, everything disappeared… …

A total silence!

Only the thick green grass beneath his body, thrived within the warmth of spring, wildly sprouting… …

At the bank of this tranquil lake, gradually… … worms, then ants, then swans appeared… …

Meanwhile, Chu Yang was totally oblivious to all, as if he was deep in slumber.

Iron Cloud Citadel!

Tie Bu Tian and Wu Qian Qian both sat inside the Imperial Study Room.
Before them and already unsealed, was the report of intelligence which Chu Yang had gotten the Great Zhao’s traceless falcon courier to deliver.

Inside this report, it covered many aspects including myriads of schemes and personalities.
Within it the identities of those involved, were some figures in their base that was simply unbelievable…… causing them to become speechless shock!

What was further shocking, was that a portion of content even involved the Bei Jiang Plainland Wolves Army Conference!

(TN: 北疆草原狼的军 not sure if i got the right term)


Even though this was just fragments of information, when pieced together with the recent series of unfortunate events; no matter from which perspective, it all led to proving that this set of intelligence was undoubtedly true!

There wasn’t a single loophole!

But if everyone were to be eradicated now… … This sudden stirring would cause outrageously immense ripples!

This would absolutely surpass any purge executed by King of Hell Chu in the past! No matter if it was within the army, political parties, business association, scholars, and within various large cities…….

Furthermore, they were the fruits of Diwu Qing Rou’s labour within the past ten years!

“Your majesty, what do you think?” Wu Qian Qian, dressed in black robes, faintly asked with a cold tone; as if the secret intelligence document, was just scrap paper.

As if he had not considered.… … by removing these influences consecutively, the dreadful implications of lives involved would definitely number beyond tens of thousands!

“This set was painstakingly acquired by Minister Chu.
To our Iron Cloud, though it would severely wound us, it is in fact a once in a lifetime chance!” Tie Bu Tian’s eyes released sharp glows as he declared, “We must rid them once and for all!”

“Mn.” Wu Qian Qian replied with a deep acknowledgement.

“Every single name written down, not a single one is to be spared!” Tie Bu Tian gently stood up, with hands behind his back, furrowing his brows as he back and forth in the room before he pronounced gravely, “We’d rather kill the innocent, then spare the evil-doer!”

Wu Qian Qian trembled entirely!

Killing the innocent, then sparing the evil-doers! This sentence was the reputable catchphrase of Diwu Qing Rou.
He wouldn’t believe that today, such a phrase would be uttered from the mouth of Tie Bu Tian.

“I only hope… … the messy internal strifes of Iron Cloud will cease from henceforth!” Tie Bu Tian tapped lightly onto the purge list, as his fingers knocked against the table, creating ‘thumps’.

“Therefore, I am willing to pay… … regardless of the price!” Tie Bu Tian eyes glowed, “Don’t talk about ten thousand, even if it was hundreds of thousands… … I will execute them all!”

“Understood.” Wu Qian Qian body trembled.

From this sentence, she could hear Tie Bu Tian’s killing resolve as Emperor!

Merciless!

“Besides these, include those that do not yield… … add them to the purge, mark them out as high priority!” Tie Bu Tian painfully furrowed his brows and heaved out his words heavily.


“Your Majesty, this….
….doesn’t feel right.” Wu Qian Qian was appalled.

Those unyielding bunch may not necessarily mean they are spies; they are those who resolutely protected the old Emperor….
…..individuals who safeguarded the old Emperor’s authority; but also … they are those who object to Tie Bu Tian’s regime.

“What’s not right about it?” Tie Bu Tian had his back facing Wu Qian Qian, without turning his head back, he coldly refuted, “There’s nothing not right about this! In this world, there might be a shortage of heroes, or maybe top martial experts, or maybe righteous officials….
… but definitely not a shortage of corrupted officials!”

“It is these people, that even in the time of national crisis, still advocates the sage way of teaching; when blood flows like the river, they still hold high their self-righteous banner of morality! When the people are hungry…… they flatter themselves for self gain! When soldiers are perishing in valiant sacrifice, they seize the chance to bolster their own integrity, but when the country faces imminent destruction…..they are the first to sell the country out!”

Tie Bu Tian sneered: “Those rotten scholars!”

“They will never understand the needs of common folks, they will never understand the soldiers’ need! They will never understand the essentials of war……….Yet what they harp about is merely benevolence, moral justice, formalities, and forbearance… …”

“They sing praises of ideals that humiliation comes with achievements, yet in the end, the country is filled with “Brave Warriors” who can endure great humiliation.
Yet the consequences of that is the decline of iron and blood warriors who are able to stand brave the chilling cold winds of the battlefield!”

“They always say that the fall of a nation leads to the rise of another, but they’ve never considered the the fighting chance of that nation facing imminent extermination…… After the nation falls, having acclimatized to humiliation itself and becoming the enemy’s courtiers…… yet they disguise it with glorious words of……’for the welfare of the common people!’ ”

“During the rise and peace time of a nation, such people are necessary! That is because when governing a nation, leveraging them to squabble for favour in the court; along with their innate ability to instigate the envy of the younger generation, they can be used to balance the Imperial Court to prevent a single faction of the court to grow too big… … such are the various uses of them.
However, in continuous disasters of war, these spineless and sour scholars cannot be kept around!”

Tie Bu Tian suddenly spun around, as his eyes shone fiercely towards Wu Qian Qian.
he declared with dignified severity, “Not even one must remain, kill them all! Unite the Nation and fight to the death with our enemies! IF WE ARE NOT DEAD, WE WILL NOT REST! IF WE ARE NOT DEAD, WE WILL NOT CEASE AS A NATION!”
