Today was the fourteenth of the eighth lunar month, the anniversary of Empress Li's death. Every year on this day, Darknorth King would come to pay respects to Empress Li.
After the guards left, Ye Beiming frowned. He suddenly leaned against a pillar and unbuttoned his left sleeve.
Under the long robe, what was revealed was not Ye Beiming's arm, but an arm covered in scales.
It wasn't just his left arm. His entire shoulder was covered in scales. The scales looked even more similar to Dugu Xiu's, except that his scales were golden.
Ye Beiming secretly adjusted his breathing. The scales on his back also gradually disappeared. About fifteen minutes later, his body returned to its original smoothness, looking no different from before.
"Recently, the frequency of Berserk Transformation seems to be getting more and more unstable." Ye Beiming pulled up his clothes.
Other than his mother, no one else knew about this secret.
The night gradually darkened. Ye Beiming took out a marriage contract from his chest. On it was the imperial seal of Zhou State.
The Cold Palace was silent. Ye Beiming looked towards the palace where Empress Li used to live. "Mother, your son has already found the woman he likes. Your son has promised her that he will be with her for the rest of his life. Mother, will you protect your son … "
A gust of wind suddenly blew in the desolate Cold Palace. The plain white curtains flew up, looking especially eerie at night.
"Achoo." Yun Sheng sneezed.
"Sheng 'er, you've lost weight recently. This is Second Uncle's personal matter. You don't have to ask." Yun Canglang looked at his niece with a worried expression.
Recently, Yun Sheng's small face had become even smaller than before. It looked like it could be covered with a palm.
"Second Uncle, Xuan Wuji has plotted against us time and time again. He's so cunning. How can you win against him alone?" My Crown Prince failed to propose and left Yujing City. Yun Sheng sent people to keep an eye on his whereabouts and found that Xuan Wuji didn't travel with him.
The Blood-hand Tycoon had been destroyed and Xuan Wuji had lost his protection. He was also not traveling with the Dark Prince. Now was the best time to kill him.
Yun Canglang had wanted to kill Xuan Wuji for a long time, but he could not do anything about Grand Emperor City. Now that he had recovered his strength and Xuan Wuji had harmed the Residence of Yun several times, Yun Canglang swore to kill Xuan Wuji.
However, Xuan Wuji was also very cunning. He knew that he was in Zhou State and was in danger. Once he left the Jade Capital, he lost track of his whereabouts. Even Yun Canglang couldn't find any clues about him.
"Second Uncle, Xuan Wuji is in the dark while you are in the light. If he contacts the people from Grand Emperor City, you won't have a chance." Although Yun Canglang was skilled in martial arts and had rich battle experience, he was still inferior to Yun Sheng in some aspects.
Yun Canglang could not stop Yun Sheng, so he could only agree to go with her to find Xuan Wuji.
Southern Cliff Town in the southern border of Zhou State.
A middle-aged man in ordinary clothes walked into an inn.
He had a sickly look on his long face. His facial features were very ordinary and he looked a little nervous.
"Waiter, get a room and prepare some food for me." The middle-aged man looked at the inn. It was a very inconspicuous inn. It was very simple and crude. Usually, he would not even bother to stay in a place like this. But now, he had no choice.
"Sir, please wait a moment." When the waiter saw the guest, he hurriedly went forward to greet him. He was not in a hurry to get a room. He took out a painting and looked at the man.
The man quietly looked at the painting. When he saw the person in the painting clearly, a trace of imperceptible panic flashed across his eyes.
He pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Brother Waiter, is this a warrant for arrest? What kind of heinous crime did the people above commit? "
"Sir, this is a hunting warrant. A hunting warrant is similar to a warrant for arrest. However, a hunting warrant is issued by the Hunter's Association while a warrant for arrest is issued by the government. The two have similar effects. "The waiter made a comparison and did not pay much attention to it. He casually put it aside.
A hunting warrant?
When the sickly middle-aged man heard that, he knew something was wrong.
The waiter arranged a room for him. He was not in the mood to eat and hurriedly entered the room.
When he walked past the inn, he heard a few drunk men say, "Tsk tsk, did you see that? The Jade Capital Hunter's Association has issued a hunting warrant. They said that an elder of the association has issued a reward of 100,000 gold coins to capture the fugitive of the Bloody Hand Trench."
The Bloody Hand Trench was notorious on the mainland. They had long been in conflict with the Hunter's Association.
The hunting warrant stated that this fugitive of the Bloody Hand Trench named Xuan Wuji was responsible for more than a hundred lives.
All over the country, wherever there were hunters, such hunting orders would be issued.
The hunting warrant stated that as long as traces of this person were found, the local Hunter's Association should be notified immediately.
As long as a clue was provided, the elder who issued the mission would provide a huge reward of 100,000 gold coins.
There was no need to capture him. They only had to provide clues and they could get the money.
This was the first time such a good thing had happened since the beginning of time. The waiter and guests in the inn all opened their eyes wide and searched for the fugitive called Xuan Wuji.
The sickly man returned to his room. It was very simple and crude. There was a bed, a small wooden coffee table, and a bedding that smelled moldy.
The sickly middle-aged man did not know whether to sit or stand. He took off the human skin mask on his face and revealed his original appearance.
Because he had not seen the sun for a long time, the man's face was somewhat pale. His gloomy inverted triangular eyes were filled with resentment. This person was Xuan Wuji, who had disappeared from Zhou State for a long time.
Xuan Wuji threw the human skin mask on his face in frustration. He slammed the table heavily, causing the teapot and teacups on the table to vibrate.
After Xuan Wuji broke up with the Dark Crown Prince, he became a street rat.
He knew that things were bad when Yun Bahe was not dead and Yun Cangxue was chased out of the Yun residence.
He also knew that he was in Zhou State, which was the Yun residence's territory.
Leaving Zhou State as soon as possible was the only way for him to escape.
He hid from place to place and bought his way through. Finally, he reached the southern border of Zhou State.
"Yun Canglang, don't think that you can catch me with this method. Humph, once I leave Zhou State and enter Tang Yuan's territory, you won't be able to do anything to me even if you have a thousand methods. When I return to Grand Emperor City, I will definitely ask my father to kill everyone in the Yun residence. "Xuan Wuji was furious. He had never lived such a life in his life.
Along the way, he could not sleep at night. He could only stay in the most rundown inn, afraid that the Yun residence's spies would discover him. When he finally reached the border of Zhou State, he did not expect Yun Canglang to use the Soldier Hunting Order.
Not daring to expose his whereabouts, Xuan Wuji could only hide in his room. He did not notice that the moment he entered the room, a bat perched on the roof beam quietly flew out.
