At noon, a mournful cry suddenly erupted within the Royal Palace.
The newly ranked tenth on the Heavenly List, Thief Saint Ye Wuzong, who had shone brilliantly in the Battle of Slaying the Dragon and had swollen Bo'e's face like a pig's, had passed away in the guest courtyard of the Royal Palace.
Recognized by the Thief Saint as his direct disciple, who had actually been taught the Thief Saint's Cultivation Technique thoroughly for only a month or two, the Queen of the Spirit Clan, Simeng, wept with tears streaming down her face like rain through pear blossoms, "vomiting blood in triple bouts, and fainting several times."
She also beat up all the nearby unimportant guards, scolding them for not guarding her master properly and ordered them to quickly procure white banners and garments for the funeral, creating such a commotion that instantly, the entire Holy Mountain knew of it, and the news swiftly spread throughout the entire Spirit Clan.
