Chapter 819: Destroying the Emperor (2)
A gentle smile appeared on her face. It was sweet and blissful. Even the apple seemed to have softened.” My relationship with Yue ‘er is developing very quickly. If she wasn’t born into the royal family and was a princess, she could have invited a matchmaker to propose marriage and set an auspicious date. Now, we can only wait. After two more levels, it should be enough.”
He was now at Secondary Rank-3, and after two levels, he would be at Secondary Rank-2. It was more or less enough.
He asked curiously.
“How are you and Hongling?”
Zhang Ronghua glared at him, suspecting that he was doing it on purpose. He had just mentioned Princess Ming Yue, and now he mentioned Yang Hongling. She took a bite of an apple and said,”A little better than you.”
Xu Xing smiled unkindly. He got up from the chair.” I’ll go back first. I still have to go patrol defense tomorrow.”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
He ordered Xiao Yue’s mother to bring Zhu Yue here.
After a while.
Zhu Yue stood nervously in front of him. Her hands were tightly clasped together as she lowered her head.
Ever since he handed over a drop of his natal heart blood, Zhang Ronghua had not appeared. According to the sisters of the Education Bureau, he was now a very high official. Could it be that he called her over tonight…
At the thought of this, she felt shy and nervous. Her exquisite and beautiful face was already filled with redness.
Zhang Ronghua secretly cast the Great Demon Charm Technique. This was a secret technique of a soul master that could make one relax and reveal some secrets. He would start from daily life and wait for her to relax before going deeper.” How have you been these days?”
“With your care, Manager Xiao is very good to me. He prepared a quiet courtyard alone with all the best supplies.”
“Don’t be nervous. Relax a little.”
“Yes.” Zhu Yue replied heavily.
He pointed at the chair beside him.
“Sit,” Zhang Ronghua said.
Zhu Yue pulled out a chair and sat down, her head still lowered.
“Raise your head.”
Hearing this, she slowly raised her head.
“I’m not a man-eating tiger, so there’s no need to be so nervous,” said Zhang Ronghua with a smile.
With the support of the Heavenly Demon Charm Technique, the voice contained a demonic nature that penetrated deep into the soul, making people instinctively relax.
He proceeded according to the plan and went deeper and deeper.
Fifteen minutes later.
Seeing that it was about time, she opened her mind. Her eyes were blurry and deep. She controlled her voice and asked softly,” What is your identity in the darkness?”
” Darkness?” Zhu Yue’s beautiful brows furrowed together subconsciously. She was puzzled.” What darkness?”
Zhang Ronghua was puzzled. Could it be that he was not? He decided to give it a try.” The Dark is a mysterious and huge organization. All the members of the Candle Dragon Clan have joined it. You’re the princess of the royal family. Haven’t you heard of it?”
“Yes.” Zhu Yue replied.
“Never heard of it.”
Although Zhu Yue’s identity was strong enough, her cultivation was too weak and her temperament was not good enough. The higher-ups of the Candle Dragon clan probably did not tell her, let alone let her fall into the whirlpool.
“I think I’ve heard of it,” Zhu Yue suddenly said when Zhang Ronghua was about to remove the secret technique.
At the end of the road, there was no way out. There was a silver lining, so he continued to ask patiently.
“Speak!”
Zhu Yue recalled,” When I was young, I went to look for my father and heard something by accident. It seemed to be about ‘darkness.’ The door opened and my father beat me up with a cane with a cold face. He even warned me not to step into the study room again.”
“There’s more?”
“No more!”
Thump thump…
Footsteps sounded, and a unique melody was heard.
Zhang Ronghua was stunned and looked outside. He sensed Yang Hongling wearing a bamboo hat and appearing at the door. He was puzzled. Why was she here?
The door was pushed open.
Looking at the scenery in the hall, the two of them were fully clothed. They sat on the chairs and relaxed. They closed the door and walked over. When they got closer, they realized that Zhu Yue had used a secret technique and didn’t ask immediately.
Zhang Ronghua snapped his fingers and dealt with the Demon Charm Technique. Zhu Yue returned to normal. He looked at the woman in the bamboo hat and was confused. When did she come? Why didn’t he know?
“You may leave!”
Zhu Yue was a little disappointed. She stood up from her chair, bowed, and left.
” Is she a suspect?” Yang Hongling took off her bamboo hat, revealing her delicate face. She pulled out a chair and sat down.
Zhang Ronghua voiced out his guess.
” If you’re not strong enough, no matter how good your background is, you won’t be able to come into contact with profound secrets.”
“Looks like I have to investigate the Time Sacred Island.”
The Time Sacred Island was the lair of the Torch Dragon clan. It moved randomly and was protected by a grand array. It would not stay in one place.
He changed the topic.
“How did you find this place?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
Yang Hongling rolled her eyes at him.” I couldn’t find him when I went to your house. I met Lu Zhantang on the way back. I heard from him that you were here, so I came over.”
“This place is not good! Don’t come again next time.”
“Yes.” Yang Hongling didn’t retort and obediently agreed.
He stood up from his chair with a serious expression.
“I just received news that there’s news of Huang Ji’s whereabouts!”
The smile on Zhang Ronghua’s face disappeared. He became serious and cold. He understood now. No wonder she came to the Education Bureau. He quickly stood up.” Where?”
“Stone Village!” Yang Hongling said.
Stone Village was near the capital, less than sixty miles away. It was a flat land with a good location and was developing very well.
“There’s no time to lose. Let’s go over now,” said Zhang Ronghua.
He opened the door and left the Education Bureau. He used his movement technique to rush toward the east gate. It was the closest from here.
Stone Village.
It was a quiet night. The village was as quiet as death. There were hundreds of households, but none of them had their lights on. It was dark as far as the eye could see. Some of the doors were still open, but there was no one inside. Even the livestock and poultry had disappeared.
There was a faint smell of blood in the night wind, but there were no corpses. As the wind whistled, Yin Qi swept out, making one’s hair stand on end. The surrounding trees rustled, making the strange atmosphere even stronger.
Underground.
There was a huge blood-red square that took up one-third of the village. In the center of the square was a blood pond that was 100 feet wide. It was filled with blood, and it was as thick as a mountain. It was as demonic as fire, and the smell of blood was very shocking. There was an egg below it, and it was nearly 10 feet wide. The surface of the egg emitted a powerful suction force that devoured the blood in the blood pond. It seemed to be brewing. Every time it devoured a little blood, its aura became stronger. Just now, the pressure it emitted was like the might of heaven. A thunderous sound came from the oppressive space.
The corpses of the missing people and animals were thrown into the corner like a pile of straw. Only a layer of skin and bones were left. Their blood had been sucked dry. They died in a miserable manner, but it was only a small part of the huge corpse.
This was the headquarters of Imperial Capital. The village chief of Stone Village was a member of Imperial Capital. With this connection, the village was firmly in their hands. For so many years, no one had discovered it and they had escaped the encirclement of the imperial court many times. However, they had all been killed tonight.
Apart from them, in order to gather enough blood and not be discovered by outsiders, the rest of the people from the Extreme Emperor were all killed.
Three steps in front of the blood pool, a tall man wearing a blood-red robe embroidered with a huge skull stood with his hands behind his back. His name was Chi Tianxing, the Palace Master of the Extreme Emperor.
Looking at this scene in front of him, the blood quickly decreased in the way of leaking the valve. The aura coming from below became stronger and stronger, and his gaze was burning. When the ancient Hibernation Awakening egg finished devouring all the blood, it would hatch. If he devoured it before it hatched, he would be able to take another step forward and break through to the heaven ascension realm.
“The speed is still too slow. We have to hurry up. If we attract the people of the Imperial Court, it will be troublesome.”
A blood-red afterimage flashed and he stood on the blood pool.
He slapped his palm on the Sumeru Pouch and took out a blood-red array disc. He injected his vital essence into it. A blood-red light bloomed and enveloped it. His mudra changed and he roared,” Activate!”
The array that was set up in the surroundings soared into the sky. This was the Yuan Devouring Blood Array, specially prepared for the egg of Jing Zhe. It controlled the countless blood in the blood pool. No matter if it could withstand it or not, it poured in all at once.
