章 1788: Lies

The Emperor's declaration immediately caused the many cultivators gathered to switch their opinions immediately. Seeing as that the heavens had in fact no come down proved to them that the Emperor had in fact not killed the Azure Dragon.

"No, that's not true," Long Huan quickly said. "He wasn't the one who made the kill, but it was his actions that led to the death of the Azure Dragon. He was involved in that kill."

"I had no hands in the Azure Dragon's death," the Emperor said. "I swear to the heavens on that."

Both Yan Yating and Long Huan turned to look at the Emperor who had just spoken another oath. Only this time, he had spoken a false one.

"Why would you… why would you lie?" Long Huan slowly asked. Even as he did, confusion filled his mind. 

How was this possible? Why was his father still alive?
