"I can’t take it anymore, I can’t stand it..."
The dark Imperial Palace was like a prival jungle at this mont, everyone cautious, for anyone could beco the prey.
A woman in red, with an extrely good figure, was now hysterical, her face and arms scratched bloody by her own hands, thick yellow liquid oozing from the wounds, looking very startling.
But what was more alarming was her eyes at the mont, like those of a desperate wild beast, filled with madness.
"Elder... please, you must hold on..."
A few aged Magicians behind her tried to dissuade her, but they kept their distance warily, obviously, even within their own clan, there was no longer any trust for this woman on the brink of collapse.
The woman in red stopped at their words, standing blankly on the spot, seemingly taking their advice, her earlier frenzy gone.
But the calr she beca, the more terrified the clan descendants behind her grew, with several old Elders quietly beginning to retreat.
Ever since that madwoman from the Murong Family had survived after what she did, the atmosphere in the entire underground palace had changed, clans that used to exchange information had ceased contact tacitly, the distance between them growing ever wider, and although nothing had happened yet, the eerie atmosphere had already begun to spread.
And this atmosphere was especially prominent within the clans themselves.
Each major family huddled close to improve their chances of survival, but since the incident with Murong Yunji yesterday, in just one night, the atmosphere had completely changed, silence and vigilance grew heavier among them.
Everyone had been poisoned, it was rely a question of how deeply, Murong Yunji could survive through that thod, could the others do the sa?
This line of thought spread continuously among the people, those severely poisoned looked increasingly dangerous, while those less affected grew more and more cautious.
Just like now, the woman in red who had been on the verge of collapse a mont ago, had suddenly quieted down, causing the hearts of the clan descendants behind her to leap to their throats.
"Are you... afraid of ?" the woman in red suddenly asked in an incredibly gentle voice.
A few young descendants still had a look of sha, but the older n behind them were shocked, and almost without hesitation they started dispersing in all directions.
But it was already too late, the woman in red sneered coldly, the red on her clothing stirring like liquid and turning into a sea of blood that surged violently around her!
The woman in red’s action was like striking a match, and the ghastly screams started to rise and fall in various corners of the dark palace.
Clearly, many could no longer hold back!
And amidst the widespread slaughter, the very criminal who had started it all was cautiously avoiding all the Magicians.
At this mont, Murong Yun’s wounds had healed, the poison completely forced out of her body, returning her to peak condition, but the better she felt, the less daring she was to act, even feeling so regret.
She had been tornted to the brink of losing sanity before doing that, and now it seed that due to her being a successful case, she had opened Pandora’s box. What was crucial was that she might have implicated Chen Qing.
She wondered if her master had managed to escape that monster.
And in such a chaotic scene, were Zi Yue and the others safe?
Before, to avoid revealing Transcendent powers, everyone steered clear of conflict, but now that she had started this, everyone was hunting for prey to substitute themselves; Zi Yue could definitely fend for herself, but the key concern was... if Ali was with her, it would be a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Murong Yunji’s heart filled with regret and growing anxiety, yet at this ti she dared not use the swift Wind God to find Zi Yue and the others, and could only silently pray that their location had not been discovered.
While she moved with extre caution, all of a sudden, the surroundings grew darker.
In fact, under the black lights, the King Xiang Palace had already been very shadowy, visibility even lower than the fog formation in Jiangnan initially, but people had beco accustod to it after a few days, and at this mont, it was a noticeable intensification.
The darkness, like ink, diffused at a glance, the surrounding space like a canvas allowing the blackness to spread, and at that mont, Murong Yun suddenly felt that she could hardly see anything!
She instantly looked around vigilantly. What had happened?
Has it finally co to this...
Her gaze abruptly shifted towards the grand hall floating in the center of the King Xiang Palace.
Had that group finally lost their patience and decided to act?
Indeed, if they did not act now, their location would definitely be exposed by King Xiang, inevitably causing conflict. With a group that large gathered together, any Magician’s suicide attack could possibly affect them.
If they did not act now, perhaps it would be the others moving against them.
Should I go look for Zi Yue amidst the chaos... or follow King Xiang instead?
After hesitating for a few monts, Murong Yunji clenched her teeth and finally decided to head toward where King Xiang was!
Zi Yue is not one to sit by and wait for death. Under these circumstances, she would definitely choose to take the initiative to attack. And Chen Qing might head there as well. The most crucial point is... if they were to confront King Xiang, then... then... that lecherous brat...
-----------------------------
"They’re going to make their move!"
Watching the darkness spread, Zi Yue suddenly stood up.
"What about us?" Ali asked, also getting worked up.
"This is the Black Lotus Lantern’s fla, now spread far and wide. Even King Xiang can’t see through it, and everyone’s vision is now blocked. I’ll first take you to another place, and then I’ll go to support His Majesty."
"No, I want to go!" Ali insisted stubbornly.
"Are you going to add to the chaos?" Zi Yue glared at her. "Whether it’s King Xiang or that mber of the Siao Family, which one can you bewitch? What’s the use of you going there?"
"I..." Ali gritted her teeth, feeling a deep sense of helplessness once again.
She was truly fed up with her talent!
Her powerful talent for bewitchnt ant she could barely practice any combative techniques; when she was unable to bewitch soone’s mory, she was more useless than anyone.
"That’s not necessarily true..."
As the two of them were talking, a familiar voice resonated, causing both Zi Yue and Ali to be stunned.
"How... how did you find this place?"
----------------------------------
"Ladies and gentlen, we only have half an hour and only one chance. I beg you all to spare no effort, otherwise, you know the consequences!"
At this ti in the garden, several people hardly moved, seemingly at odds with the urgency of ti ntioned by Wang Shiyu.
But although they didn’t move, everyone was tense, as if waiting for sothing.
"King of Qin, may I ask how much longer?" Wang Shiyu looked toward Chen Qing.
"It’s almost ti!"
Chen Qing had his eyes closed, as if he was communicating sothing.
The next mont, quite suddenly, the floating hall in the very center of King Xiang Palace exploded!
The loud noise and the sky-high flas covered the sky above King Xiang Palace, and at this ti, everyone’s gaze was drawn there. However, on Chen Qing’s side, it seed that everyone had anticipated this, and their focus was on the woman from the Wanxu Guild.
With a cold face, the woman quickly took out a compass, and a golden floater needle spun rapidly on it. After a few monts, it forcefully pinpointed a location at the southeast corner.
"Tianshu Position!" the woman said coldly, "This position is passable..."
"Let’s go!"
Everyone, including Chen Qing, flew toward that position without any hesitation and with no reserve in their strength!
"Daddy... be careful..."
A familiar voice rang in Chen Qing’s ear, bringing a flicker of darkness across his eyes.
Ghost Doll... As he had expected, sothing had indeed gone wrong.
In fact, he should have anticipated this when King Xiang Palace appeared. King Xiang had not fully revived, and his physical body was still in slumber within King Xiang’s Tomb. How could he afford to open King Xiang Palace?
It was Ghost Doll who opened King Xiang Palace, it was the Ghost Doll... who used his own flesh and blood to open it!!
