The Red Elder died with his bloodshot eyes wide open.
The young Snake Clan man, prostrate on the ground, slowly clenched his fists, only to let them relax again. He finally understood. This was all a trap set by the Duke.
To the outside world, the Duke had personally chosen a Jinshe female as his bride. He had indulged and doted on her in the Imperial City, and even specially selected her hometown for the wedding. Yet, an elder of the Chi Lian Clan had dared to harbor malicious intent, violating the Snake Clan's prophecy—
Whether for public reasons or private ones, the Duke would not spare them.
The young Snake Clan man now realized that in the Duke's mind, the Chi Lian Clan had long been marked for death.
And it wasn't just the Chi Lian Clan...
There were also the other elders who had manipulated the Snake Clan for years, who had tried time and again to strip the Duke of his title—
They, and the powers behind them, would perhaps soon suffer the same fate as the Chi Lian Clan.
