Chapter 112 112: The Laughingstock



The Dynasty Prince of the Sky Dynasty was also found dead, along with the Empress and the others inside the Royal Palace. 

There were some people who reported seeing a masked person entering and exiting the Royal Palace, covered in blood. However, no one knew who that person was!

In the events that took place, two main questions had risen. Who was the masked person? And who killed the Sky Dynasty Emperor? 

The most confused person was the Celestial Palace Master. The plan that Xu Shan had told them was nothing even close to that. 

Everything that happened was just too coincident and completely contrary to the plan. However, somehow it appeared as if the Xu Shan's forces had been really lucky that the Sky Dynasty started fighting amongst themselves for no reason. 

Because of this, no one gave credit to Xu Shan. If anything, Xu Shan only received mockery since some of the Soldiers leaked the news that Xu Shan did nothing but hide inside the ship all day, and all the actions were taken by Ye Han. 

Xu Shan had become a laughingstock for being so cowardly that he didn't even dare leave his room. However, none of the people dared to talk about him in the open, worried about the wrath of the Eternal Dynasty. 

Despite all that, the end result was the victory of the Eternal Palace. However, the Celestial Palace Master wasn't in the mood to celebrate. He had lost both his children. This victory had no meaning for him anymore. 

After the battles were over, and the Sky Dynasty's Royal Palace was under their control, there was an atmosphere of Celebration!

Xu Shan was finally seen on the deck, donning his royal attire that had not a single speck of dust. 

He had a glass of wine in his hand, as he looked in the distance. 

As far as the eyes could see, it was their land now! Unfortunately, even though the area under their control increased, their strength had weakened. 

"It's going to be hard controlling the two Dynasties, even now. These two Dynasties might end up becoming like the Land of Chaos in the end..." He took a sip of his wine, before speaking, as if he was talking to himself. 

He could see that most of the soldiers were scared of him. None of them even met his gaze. However, it was also clear that none of them truly respected him. 

They still thought that he was nothing more than a Mortal. 

For the time being, Xu Shan returned to the Royal Palace of the Eternal Dynasty, after leaving some of the ships behind in the Sky Dynasty to take care of any problems. 

Along the way, his ships passed through the Estel Kingdom, where the King personally came out to congratulate them. 

The King of Estel was accompanied by his daughter and his wife, along with important ministers!

There was a wave of happiness everywhere in the Eternal Dynasty! All the people who had suffered because of being attacked by the Sky Dynasty were cheering. However, many people had also lost their lives, so under this happiness, some grief was clearly visible. 

"Greetings to the Third Prince. It's a pleasure to finally see you!" The King maintained some respect on his face, even though there wasn't any in his heart. 

Xu Shan lazily nodded. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well. However, we are in a hurry. So if you would..."

He made a light gesture, implying that the King should go back and stop blocking their path. 

The King who wanted to invite them for celebration felt a little awkward and embarrassed at Xu Shan's bluntness. However, he didn't show it. 

"Hahaha, of course. You must be tired after such a fierce war!"

Deep inside, he was mocking Xu Shan for not doing a single thing. On the other hand, he had even more respect for Ye Han, who was the real commander in his eyes. 

"If you ever get an opportunity, please visit our Kingdom. It would be our pleasure to host you again!" The King said, before he slowly retreated. 

He didn't know that his daughter had a strange glint in her eyes. Even though Xu Shan had used a heavier voice when he was disguised, she still found some similarities when he spoke just now. 

Moreover, now that she looked carefully, Xu Shan's figure was also identical to the person who had 'saved' them. 

Her head was filled with many thoughts as she followed her father. However, she didn't speak any of it. The entire Dynasty knew that the Third Prince was a mortal! If he was really the person who saved them, that meant everything known about him was a lie!

It made her believe that the Eternal Dynasty's Royal Family probably wanted to keep it a secret! She thought that if she spoke about it carelessly, she might bring a disaster to the Estel Kingdom. 

She didn't even dare to look back at Xu Shan a second time to not make him suspicious. 

The Ships of the Eternal Dynasty passed through the Estel Kingdom. 

Along the way, they passed through many more Kingdoms and each of them was filled with cheers. Kings of all those Kingdoms that were under the Eternal Dynasty came out to welcome the army that passed through their territory on their way back. 

****

"You're finally back!" 

Chen Rouyin returned to her father's ship, which was also on the way back. Now that the war was over, most of the Dynasty had started regaining peace. 

The army was finally free to take care of those bandits that tried to take advantage of the situation! Within three days, the situation under the Dynasty was in control. Most of the bandits were killed and the rest went into hiding. 

Chen Rouyin nodded in response to her father's question. However, her eyes were still in somewhat of a daze. 

She still couldn't see what she saw before…
