The Empress of Xiliang, wearing a jade crown, sat within the Empress Dowager's bedchamber, watching as the Xiliang elite soldiers slaughtered the leaders of the Eight Great Families, and the palace was immediately filled with constant screams.
The Empress of Xiliang's expression was as somber as water, fresh blood splattered at her feet on the jeweled shoes gracing her, she gazed down and found the crimson too glaring.
The clan leaders of the Eight Great Families and the resisting men were all killed, leaving only blood-soaked women and children trembling amidst the corpses.
"Li Tianjiao! What is the point of killing our Eight Great Families' clan leaders and family members today?" The wife of one clan leader, holding her young son tightly in her arms, shivered and cried out, "The leaders are pushed forward by the Eight Great Families, do you think killing one leader, slaughtering the leader's family members will disperse the Eight Great Families? It won't!"
