That was over and they could finally have peace but Hai Zhong was facing another problem. The elders insisted that nothing could be enough reason for Hai Zhong to kill Veyrin personally.
Hai Zhong was speechless but he wasn't regretful. He knew that if he hadn't killed Veyrin this time and someone found out about his use of dark arts, it would become his trump card. Who didn't want to grow stronger? So he used the excuse of a one on one fight to cut the danger off from its roots. He wouldn't let anything hurt Fu Ling anymore.
The elders were quite adamant in this situation and even his citizens heard about it but unlike the elders, they who faced the danger were grateful their king took this decision.
Hai Zhong thought about it and retired the noisy elders from the council. They still held the title of elders but had no power to interfere in state affairs.
After doing that, everything quieted down.
