473: Ch-473: Taboo Information 473: Ch-473: Taboo Information “Even after slaughtering so many people, the resistance did not die and even brought support from the neighboring kingdoms, which were as chaotic as the Black Bamboo Kingdom of the past.” “The Golden Leaf City was their base and where the first King of the Black Bamboo Kingdom was crowned and used as a foothold to conquer the entire region.

Even after the bloodshed was over, it still took hundreds of years and the efforts of the descendants of the Wu Family to bring the kingdom under control.” “The Black Bamboo Kingdom was the first kingdom formed on this continent, and after seeing its success many others followed its example, conquered their own regions, and the current kingdoms were formed.” “There were many wars throughout history against the Black Bamboo Kingdom for resources, as this land had the richest resources.” The man explained with passion, reminiscing about history, and Wang Ming just calmly listened.

” You see, during the rule of the 7th King, it was said that he had gathered hundreds of thousands of mortals in the Golden City and then…” the man shuddered and his face turned grim.

” He killed all of them in some kind of ritual to gain power from some kind of entity.” “!!!” Wang Ming’s eyes constricted, and for some reason he felt a jolt in his heart, as if he had heard or seen something similar somewhere, which caused him to frown.

‘Why am I feeling so uneasy and also angry all of a sudden?’ Wang Ming wandered as for moment who had felt an overwhelming surge anger and disgust from deep within his very soul but did not show it on his face and tuend back towards the man.

” So in the end, did he get the power he wanted?” Wang Ming said in a neutral voice, but his brows were creased.

” Oh yes, he did, and under his might many of the kingdoms fell.

The 8 Great Clans were first hesitant along with the Royal Family, but then they were ecstatic thinking the Black Bamboo Kingdom might become an Empire, but…” the man’s expression turned grim.

” The power that he gained had a backlash, and only a few people know this-that he lost his mind and even attacked his own kingdom and killed his own family members and went completely berserk.

In the end, the 8 Great Families made some kind of deal with the other kingdoms and all the heads and kings joined forces and killed him.” ” The only reason I know about this is because my ancestor was a royal guard of the 7th King of the Black Bamboo Kingdom, but all the people who knew about this knowledge outside the Royal Family and 8 Great Clans were killed along with my ancestor.

Before he died, he managed to slip the information to our family, and it has been passed to descendants.” The man said with a shrug as Wang Ming digested the information and then looked at the man with a weird look.

“Are you sure it’s okay to tell me-no, why the hell would you even tell me in the first place?” Wang Ming asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Of course it’s not okay to tell you, but I am a mortal.

Since you are giving spiritual stones which are inaccessible to me after years of decline in my once-prosperous family, I think it’s better to use the information to earn resources,” he said with a shrug.

“You could have lied, and what if I leak this information?” Wang Ming pointed out.

“I am not an idiot.

I know it’s easy for cultivators to discern if a mortal like me is lying, and if you leak the information they would know it was you, and you will be implicated,” the man said.

“Hehe, fair enough, you are smart,” Wang Ming said as he tossed another pouch of spirit stones to him, which he caught with glee.

“You see that giant statue?” the man said after deactivating his artifact and pointed at the building-sized statue of a man.

He said with a sneer, “That’s the 7th King.

The Royal Family did this to cover up the incident by lying that he was able to conquer the kingdoms but thought he was harming too many innocents, so he took his own life.” Wang Ming just raised an eyebrow.

He was familiar with such things, as politicians on Earth would also manipulate public image, like glorifying their horrible actions.

“I see,” Wang Ming mumbled as he walked forward, and after a couple of minutes it was finally his turn.

He let the two men behind him go first as they seemed to be in a hurry.

Wang Ming frowned when he felt the symbol on his forearm burning hotter, which meant he was getting close to the traitors.

He pressed the symbol, and a virtual map appeared in his mind.

“As expected, too vague,” Wang Ming mumbled as the dots were too large to locate precisely.

Wang Ming shook his head and looked forward as it was finally his turn.
