The Lord's Empire (Part 1)

Chapter 386-390

Chapter 386 - Blood-Red Hell

"Your Majesty, this subordinate deserves to die. I tried to assassinate Wei Xin without permission but was unsuccessful." There was still some blood on Guo Binglin's lips as he spoke. After he had failed to kill Wei Xin, he had immediately come to Zhao Fu to report what had happened.

Zhao Fu was sitting in a chair, and he replied, "You may rise. The most important thing is whether or not the Tracking Talisman locked onto his aura."

"It successfully bound to him, and this subordinate has stationed people at the various teleportation channels in the system main cities so that we know if he is in a system main city. However, this subordinate cannot fully confirm that Wei Xin is in his Town at this point in time."

Seeing that Zhao Fu didn't look very angry, he let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, the Tracking Talisman had automatically locked onto Wei Xin's aura when he had tried to kill him. However, Guo Binglin was unable to confirm if Wei Xin was at his Town or if he was elsewhere.

Zhao Fu thought about it and decided that they could only rely on luck, and he said, "Use the Tracking Talisman and see if you can locate his Town!"

Guo Binglin obeyed and rose to leave.

Zhao Fu wasn't very angry as what Guo Binglin had done. If he hadn't been discovered and done such a thing, perhaps Zhao Fu would have punished him for it. However, he had been exposed from the very beginning, and attempting to assassinate Wei Xin made it seem like that was his sole aim. Since the main task had been completed, Zhao Fu didn't plan on punishing him.

It would have been good if Legatees could be killed so easily, but that wasn't the case. Each Legatee possessed the legacy of a nation or empire, and Legatees had King's Fate. In times of crisis, their Fate Dragon would automatically protect them, making it quite difficult for ordinary people to kill them.

Unless one also had a Fate Dragon or was exceptionally powerful, it would be incredibly difficult to kill a Legatee.

Perhaps Guo Binglin's failed assassination attempt would make Wei Xin feel wary, but what was important was whether or not they would be able to find Wei Xin's Town through the Tracking Talisman.

"We have to deal with this quickly to avoid anything unexpected from happening," Zhao Fu thought as he sat in his chair.

Elsewhere, Guo Binglin went to a system main city's teleportation channel and took out the Tracking Talisman. This Tracking Talisman could be used in conjunction with teleportation channels.

Because the Tracking Talisman's own teleportation power wasn't very strong, if one wanted to travel a long distance with it, one would have to use it in conjunction with a teleportation channel. Guo Binglin had already made sure that Wei Xin wasn't at any of the system main cities, but he was unable to confirm if Wei Xin was within his Town or elsewhere.

As such, Guo Binglin felt quite nervous as he held this Tracking Talisman. Soon, the black talisman paper started to burn as a black light enveloped Guo Binglin's body, causing him to disappear from the teleportation channel.

His surroundings blurred as he found himself within a dense thicket of bushes, and there was a Town not too far away. Guo Binglin was delighted and put on his hood as he ran forwards to make sure.

Very soon, orders started to be given out within Great Qin, and Great Qin's soldiers put on their equipment and headed to the Martial Grounds. Seeing this, the residents knew that a large battle was about to erupt.
