Chapter 926 The Missing Sacred Seal (Part Two)

"Here comes Prince Kile."

"He really does come when we're talking about him, huh? Let that rascal in," the emperor ordered,laughing.

"Father, good to see you! We haven't seen each other for days! Seems like you're as healthy asalways. I am quite relieved," Kile greeted as he bowed to his father with respect.

"Why are you talking like that? Are you trying to do something terrible?" The emperor knew Kile verywell. He looked like a playboy, but he saw everything more clearly than anyone else and preferred tobe a fool in disguise.

"Father, you wronged me." Kile stepped forward and handed a cup of tea to the emperor. "I heard thatyou have a treasure?"

The emperor took a look at Kile indifferently and then looked at the young man following him. Since theyoung man came in, he kept silent, but it appeared that he was not an ordinary person.

"Everyone, get out of here."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lenard immediately drove everyone out of the Imperial Study and understood thatthe emperor wanted to talk to Kile in private. But he felt very surprised. 'His majesty has a treasure? Hehas a lot of treasures. What does Prince Kile want to get from His Majesty?'

"Who are you?" the emperor asked the young man directly.

Harper saluted with cupped hands. "I'm Harper Chu from the Bright Dynasty. Nice to meet you, YourMajesty."

"Harper Chu, Matthew Jun's wife." The emperor came to his senses in an instant. "Are you here topersuade me to work together with the Bright Dynasty to resist the Great Jade Kingdom?"

"No, you are wrong." Harper shook her head. "I came here only for one thing, but I'm afraid it's not inyour hands anymore."

The emperor, squinting slightly, asked, "One thing? What is it?"

"Twenty years ago, you took it away from the Qin Clan," Harper said word by word.

The eyes of the emperor widened in shock, but he looked calm. "Are you from the Qin Clan?"

Harper nodded slowly. "I'm a descendant of the Qin Clan. I'm here today to ask you if the thing you tookaway has been lost."

"Why do you say that?" The emperor was struck dumb with amazement. Why would Harper think thatthe Sacred Seal had been lost? No one should know about it.

"I can't feel its existence, which means it is no longer in the capital city of the Wonder Kingdom. I heardthat your kingdom once had a theft case. Has the stuff been stolen?" Harper asked unhurriedly.

The emperor sighed and responded after a long silence, "The Sacred Seal was stolen seven yearsago. It was of great importance, so I chose to keep it as a secret."

"Do you know who stole it?" asked Harper.

The emperor shook his head and said, "If I knew, I would have found a way to grab it back. That manwas so strong in martial arts that he broke into the Imperial Palace, went through various traps, andtook away the Sacred Seal that had been sealed in the forbidden area."

Harper frowned. If the Sacred Seal was robbed away, looking for it would be like fishing for a needle ina haystack. "Can you take me to the place where the Sacred Seal was sealed?"

"Sure. Come with me. Kile, you can as well join us."

"Yes, Father."

The emperor took them to an inner room of the Imperial Study. Then he opened a secret device underthe soft couch. Not until then did Kile find that there was a secret passage under the couch.

The emperor led them to walk down. "The secret passage was set in the Imperial Study, which washeavily guarded. That man sneaked into the study and broke through the device to enter the secretpassage, without disturbing anyone. Apparently, he is very powerful. You must have known about theQin Clan. I suspected that the people from the clan had stolen the Sacred Seal. Therefore, I dared notinvestigate, nor dare I reveal it."

"They will pay for it sooner or later," Harper said. Twenty years had passed and she had deepanimosity towards those who ruined the Qin Clan. She would take revenge on them sooner or later.What was more, she had to get the Sacred Seal and find the land where the ancestors of the Qin Clanlived to complete the baptism. Otherwise, she would die under the sufficient spiritual power someday.

"You probably don't know how terrible those people are. If I were you, I would find a place to livepeacefully. After all, it's not easy for a member of the Qin Clan to survive."

Harper didn't answer that it was easy. The members of the Qin Clan couldn't live more than thirty yearsif they didn't receive the baptism. Women would die when they gave birth, which meant that the wholeQin Clan would be wiped out sooner or later. They didn't need anyone to do that. What she needed todo was solve the problem that all the clan members must be baptized, so that they could live a normallife.

Harper carefully observed the devices in the secret passage and many complicated patterns on thewall. "These are incantations."

"Sure enough, you have the bloodline of the Qin Clan. You can even understand those incantations."The emperor glanced at Harper. "The Sacred Seal contained a special power and must be sealed withthe incantations in order not to be exposed and perceived by somebody, but it was still found."

The emperor led them to a room, where it was empty, with complicated sealing incantations drawn. Thestone table in the middle was empty, so it must be the place where the Sacred Seal had been placed.Hesitating for a moment, Harper suddenly walked into the center of the sealing incantations. She satdown, closed her eyes, and gathered all the spiritual power in her body. The incantations, which hadbeen depressed, unexpectedly lit up. All the incantations floated up and surrounded Harper to spin.

The emperor was shocked. "Hmm... what's going on?"novelbin
