"Why did you lie to me …"
"Why did you lie to me for so many years?"
Emperor Zhao Yuan muttered to himself as he sat there. His tone was too calm, so calm that it was as if he didn't have any extra emotions.
Zhu Minglang hid by the window and quietly watched the person in the dark bedchamber. He had many doubts in his heart but at this moment, he could only watch. He could not possibly rush up now to question this King Zhao Yuan as to why he wanted to kill his own concubine.
Regarding the matters of Royal Consort Zhu, Zhu Minglang did not know much.
"Do you think I would hate you if you weren't the chosen one?" Emperor Zhao Yuan bent down and slowly picked up Queen Zhu, who was covered in blood, like a gentle husband hugging his sleeping wife.
Zhu Minglang felt that this scene was a bit horrifying.
Zhao Yuan had killed her with his own hands, but he was still coldly reminiscing. This emperor was most likely possessed.
Unfortunately, now wasn't the time to fall out with Emperor Zhao Yuan. Zhu Minglang didn't dare to stay outside for too long. In the end, he chose to leave.
Queen Zhu was already dead, and she had been dead for a while. Zhu Minglang's appearance wouldn't help.
…
After leaving the Imperial Concubine Pavilion, Hong Geng smiled coldly. He looked at Zhao Yuan with disdain and disgust.
He opened his mouth and said to Zhu Minglang, "Your emperor has most likely become Hua Chou's lackey."
"You've seen him?" Zhu Minglang was a bit surprised.
Hong Geng briefly described how he had followed the cloud bridge to see Hua Chou.
Hong Geng now understood one thing. The Extreme Court Continent was actually more special than the Saint Watchtower Continent. The most important thing was that a Dragon Gate had appeared in its world.
That was why the Seven Star God Hua Chou had planned to crush the other superfluous continent from the start. It didn't matter if Emperor Zhao Yuan knelt and allowed him to do so, or if Emperor Zhao Yuan expressed his loyalty earlier.
In front of an absolutely powerful existence, kneeling or struggling would only result in being crushed.
With such a ferocious Star God around, the other weaker star continents would suffer one day!
"It seems that your Zhu Clan's situation has become even more dire. Even Imperial Concubine Zhu, who has always supported you, has been killed by Emperor Zhao Yuan," said Ming Ji.
Ming Ji was familiar with the situation in the Extreme Court Continent. Queen Zhu was one of the most important figures in the Zhu Family. With her death, only Zhu Tianguan could take over.
Everyone in Dynasty knew that Zhu Tianguan was a blacksmith who did not have powerful martial arts skills.
The Emperor had just killed Royal Consort Zhu, and the Imperial Residence of King An had launched an attack on the Zhu Clan. Behind them was the Sparrow Wolf God …
"Let's return to the Dripping City first." Zhu Minglang's heart sank.
With the influx of God's organizations, the major factions of Extreme Court were reshuffled. Some clans and sects were likely to be wiped out overnight. Zhu Minglang was prepared for this, but he didn't expect the Zhu Family to be the first to be wiped out.
…
The Imperial Capital was not peaceful. Night Walkers wandered around, and the people did not leave their homes. The entire Imperial Capital and the Five Imperial Cities were quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were the strange, sharp cries of nocturnal creatures.
The Dripping Lake was shrouded in a strange fog. Flying in the air, it was impossible to see what was happening inside.
From the lake, Zhu Minglang went to the inner court of the Zhu Clan. He was surprised to find that the inner court was quieter than he had expected. There were no invaders, and there were not many night walkers causing trouble.
"I'm afraid that when the sun rises, they will come. The people of King An's Imperial Residence do not want to deal with the dark," said Li Xinghua.
Zhu Minglang looked at the sky. The night was almost over, and there was not much time left.
Fortunately, he had returned before all of this happened.
The moment he saw Queen Zhu fall into a pool of blood, Zhu Minglang felt uneasy. He was worried that when he arrived at the Zhu Clan, there would be corpses all over the place.
But if Queen Zhu died tonight, the Zhu Clan would lose a layer of protection. The enemies would come immediately!
"You all rest in the small building. I will go ask about the Jade Blood Sword," said Zhu Minglang.
"Okay." Li Xinghua nodded.
Traversing through the Dark Vortex was equivalent to experiencing the flow of time, which was equivalent to traveling for many days. If dawn was the arrival of a great battle, they indeed needed to rest.
…
Zhu Minglang went to the study with a view of the lake alone. At the door, he saw Qin Yang. She was still dressed in black and stood guard outside the study like a guard.
When Zhu Minglang walked up, Qin Yang looked at Zhu Minglang with surprise. Her eyes widened.
"Young … Young Master, are you not …" said Qin Yang.
"Is Zhu Tianguan inside?" asked Zhu Minglang.
"Yes."
Just as Zhu Minglang was about to step in, he sensed a few unusual auras in the willow forest. They were staring at him but didn't do anything.
They should be Zhu Tianguan's guards. On the surface, there was only one female guard, Qin Yang, here, but in reality, it was heavily guarded. If an outsider approached, they would have been killed on the stone path.
He pushed open the door and entered. Zhu Tianguan was sitting in front of a long desk. In front of him were plates of dishes, but they were all cold.
Zhu Minglang really admired this father of his. He was still eating at a time like this.
Zhu Tianguan looked up and saw Zhu Minglang. He was also shocked.
"What kind of ghost are you? Do you think you can fool me by taking on my son's appearance?" Zhu Tianguan asked.
"Big Aunt is dead," said Zhu Minglang seriously. He didn't have time to play around with Zhu Tianguan.
"I know." Zhu Tianguan didn't have much of a reaction.
This reaction made Zhu Minglang frown.
"Ever since Zhao Yuan saw the gods and returned from the Sobbing River, her temperament changed greatly. I advised her not to stay by Zhao Yuan's side, but she didn't listen. I think she's prepared to die," explained Zhu Tianguan.
"Once the sun rises, the Imperial Residence of King An's army will come," continued Zhu Minglang.
"I know." Zhu Tianguan ate a cold dish.
"So you're planning to be a bloated ghost?" asked Zhu Minglang.
"Am I supposed to walk around in the study and act like I'm worried about tomorrow's disaster?" Zhu Tianguan asked.
"There's a Prospective God behind King An's Imperial Residence. He's the Sparrow Wolf God of Tianshu Shenjiang. He forced his way to our mainland a few years ago. He's been looking for the blood essence of a god. It's the treasure of our Zhu Sect, the Jade Blood Sword." Zhu Minglang knew that now was not the time to beat around the bush. He told Zhu Tianguan everything.
"A Prospective God? That's a bit of a headache. "Zhu Tianguan said as he put another piece of roasted meat into his mouth.
"You're so calm. It makes me wonder if there's a god behind our family …" said Zhu Minglang.
