In a dimly lit room deep within the palace, this was one of the secrets of the palace that most people don't know about. The air smelled heavy with the scent of incense, and the sound of a slow, rhythmic wave of bleeze blew from the room. The walls were lined with dark, ominous carvings of mythological creatures and ancient symbols, and the floor was covered in a thick layer of black sand that felt soft and cold beneath the soles of your feet.In the centre of the room, there was a high, ornately decorated platform, and upon it sat a large, heavy metal table with chains for holding the victims wrists, ankles, and across the chest. Different guards who were in hoods were standing at different angles in the room, all standing, some carrying blades, whips, or other sharp instruments.The air was thick with the feeling of impending danger, as though the very walls themselves were alive with a malevolent energy that seemed to be waiting, silently and patiently, for its turn at someone's me
"I know it's not going to be easy, but trust me, I have plans to bring down the king without much difficulty. What I just need is to gain all the guards trust, and I will be able to accomplish it," Lu Shang said as he dropped the sword back to where he took it from.Lu Shang signalled to the guards, who immediately came forward and then released Chen from the chain used to bound him to the wall.Chen fell to the ground instantly, and he was set free."Take him out of here and then take care of him, treat his injuries, and make sure they use the most effective medicine to make his wounds heal faster and make a quick recovery," Lu Shang commanded the guards before directly walking out of the torture room.after he is done with his business and what he has to do.

The memories of that day made her her happy and filled her heart with love.Few minutes later she slept off with a lovely smile on her face, she had travelled to the Dreamland, looking at her face and caressing her face with a smile on his face.Lu Shang stood up and then walked towards the door, getting to the door, he turned back taking a glance once more at her before he opened and leave her room.

The Yuan kingdom loomed in the distance, its vast landscape stretching out before Lu Shang and his team as they soared through the air on the backs of the magical beasts. The wind whipped against their faces, carrying a mix of anticipation and determination.Lu Shang surveyed the surroundings, his eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of potential obstacles or threats.

As Chen exited the grand throne room, his mind swirled with conflicting emotions. He had successfully deceived the king and queen, making them believe in his loyalty to the kingdom while secretly working to dismantle their rule. The weight of his double role bore down on him, but he remained resolute in his commitment to the cause.Returning to the team's temporary base, Chen found Lu Shang and the rest of the team gathered in the main room, poring over maps and strategizing their next moves. The air crackled with intensity as they discussed their plan to expose the king's true intentions and rally support against his tyrannical rule.Lu Shang glanced up as Chen entered, his eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and concern. "Chen, how did it go?" he asked, his voice low but filled with urgency.Chen took a deep breath, composing himself before responding. "I have successfully gained the trust of the king and queen, and I've started sowing seeds of doubt among the council members and
The day of the gathering arrived, cloaked in secrecy. Prominent figures from all walks of life, including council members, influential merchants, and respected scholars, arrived one by one at a hidden location known only to Lu Shang's team. The air buzzed with anticipation and nervous excitement as they awaited the revelation that would change the course of the kingdom's history.Lu Shang stood before the gathered crowd, his voice steady and filled with conviction.

The contents of the message sent shockwaves through the throne room. It was a letter from a high-ranking military general, pledging his allegiance to the resistance and revealing the existence of a secret army prepared to support their cause. The king's control over the military, his last stronghold of power, was slipping away. The council members exchanged knowing glances, realising that the tide had turned definitively against the king. Their moment to act had arrived. Chen stepped forward, his voice clear and unwavering. "My lord," he began, feigning concern, "it seems that the people's discontent has spread even among the highest ranks of the military. The evidence against you is overwhelming, and your power is crumbling." The king's eyes darted around the room, searching for signs of loyalty, but all he found were averted gazes and faces filled with disdain. A realisation dawned upon him, and a mix of fury and desperation overtook his features. "You dare to betray me?" The kin
The throne room fell into a stunned silence as the lifeless bodies of the king and queen lay on the ground, surrounded by a pool of blood. The sudden turn of events had left everyone in shock, and the weight of the moment hung heavy in the air.Chen, the knight leader, was the first to break the silence. He approached the lifeless bodies of the king and queen, his expression a mix of solemnity and relief.
