Chapter 364: Chapter 374 Playing Gas
"My master has written two Blood Letters, one for the State Preceptor and one for the Emperor!" Li Shishi took out two blood-stained pieces of cloth from her sleeve.
They were already folded.
"This one is for the State Preceptor!" Li Shishi bowed deeply to the Beixie National Master, with a gesture of respect. Her delicate and tender hands, pale as jade, were soothing to the eyes. The Beixie National Master’s expression was icy cold, and he did not rashly reach out to take it.
He signaled to a guard next to him with a look.
The guard imdiately stepped forward and snatched the Blood Letter from Li Shishi’s hands.
"My master said it’s best if the National Master opens it himself!" Li Shishi reminded in a clear, cold voice.
"Hmph, demoness, you should hold your tongue! How I conduct my affairs is none of your concern! Your master is but a dying prisoner, he has no right to direct ," the Beixie National Master said scornfully to Chu Feng, sneering as he ordered the guard to open the Blood Letter.
The guard did as told and upon seeing the four blood-red characters, his face changed dramatically, showing panic. He nearly dropped the Blood Letter on the floor.

Boom!
Even though his voice was very low, it caused an uproar. No one expected the Blood Letter to contain these four words. Even with his deep composure, the Emperor’s face changed color.
A faint trace of Killing Intent appeared.
When the Emperor is enraged, a million corpses lie prostrate, and rivers turn to blood. This is not taken lightly.
Being close to the monarch is like being close to a tiger; a slight misstep could shatter the thousand-year myth of the invincible Northern Beixie Empire. If the Beixie National Master really aroused the Emperor’s suspicion, he could be eliminated.
"Give it to
to see!" The Beixie National Master’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his expression turned dark and stern to the extre.
With an outstretched hand, he summoned the Blood Letter into his grasp.
After unfolding it, the four blood-red characters were glaringly conspicuous.
