Chapter 177 Book 4 Hao Sojin's Nightmare
The passage reeked of damp earth and decay. Hao Sojin's breath was ragged as he led his remaining soldiers through the secret tunnel beneath the king's palace. The weight of his plan still bore down on him—he had slain his father, King Hao, and left the evidence pointing to Li An and the rebels of Xian Town. He was so close to claiming the throne.
But because Li An stole the seal, his troubles have begun. He did not know how she was able to do it, but he knew now that she was not the weak princess she portrayed herself to be.
He had long suspected that she was hiding something, some secret that no one knew. And true to his conjecture, when he was waiting inside the room where the seal was she appeared. But he still underestimated her abilities and was caught off-handed. Because of his neglect, the seal was stolen. Now he could only escape with his life after seeing the man-beasts from the towers.
