Haiyan City, Fengyulou Inn.
Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Jiuge shook his head and explained: "We just came back from Yuyue Kingdom and don't know what happened during the day, so we came here to ask you all."
"So that's it." The middle-aged man raised his eyes and glanced at Jiu Ge, lowering his voice and said: "The new emperor is the previous Ninth Prince - Nangong Yueze. I heard that Nangong Yueze was killed by Nangong shortly after His Majesty the Dragon Emperor made him the crown prince. Jing was killed, and the country could not live without a king for a day, so the Ninth Prince naturally became the new emperor."
What, the new emperor is actually Nangong Yueze?
Hearing the news, Jiuge was stunned.
She and Nangong Yueze left the Yuyue Kingdom together. Although they separated just after leaving the imperial capital of the Yuyue Kingdom, he wouldn't arrive at the Nebula Empire's imperial city so soon, right?
"Brother, are you sure you are not mistaken? The new emperor is really the Ninth Prince Nangong Yueze?" Jiuge asked again.
"Of course, for such a big thing, I will definitely not make a mistake."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Helian Yuanjie couldn't help but come to Jiuge's side and asked curiously: "Little junior sister, the Nangong Yueze you just mentioned, could it be the 'Yueze' we know? ?”
Jiuge didn't hide anything, nodded and whispered: "Yes, it's him."
Hearing this, Helian Yuanjie's eyes widened in shock, with disbelief written all over his face, "Oh my God, junior sister, why didn't you tell me earlier that that guy is actually the prince of the Nebula Empire?"
Zhao Feiyang also twitched his lips slightly, looked at Jiuge with envy and said: "Little junior sister, if he is the new emperor, based on your relationship, then you will be the queen of our Nebula Empire in the future..."
"Okay, Senior Brother Feiyang, please stop making fun of me." Jiuge interrupted Zhao Feiyang in a deep voice, "Oze's father just passed away. He must be very sad at this time. No, Senior Brother, I have to Go and see him."
"But it's already dark outside. Aren't you afraid of being in danger if you go at this time?" Helian Yuanjie said worriedly.
"Yes, little junior sister, even if you want to go, you should know that the Imperial City is heavily guarded and not everyone can enter." Zhao Feiyang also advised.
Jiuge pursed her lips slightly. She had naturally considered this, but at the moment, she was more worried about Nangong Yueze.
At this moment, Helian Wenyan slowly walked towards the three of them, "Girl Jiuge, don't be too impatient. I will accompany you to the imperial capital tomorrow morning as my master. I had a few encounters with His Majesty the Dragon Emperor before I became my master." As we all know, he always supported our Zixu Academy during his lifetime, but now he has passed away suddenly. As the dean of Zixu Academy, I should pay my respects to him as my teacher."
"Yes." Jiuge bowed gratefully to Helian Wenyan, "Thank you, Master!"
…
Nebula Empire Imperial City.
It's late at night.
Nangong Yongchang's bedroom was still brightly lit.
Nangong Yueze, dressed in white, knelt in front of the coffin and said nothing.
He had been here for several hours from day to night.
"Ze'er, go and take a rest, you are still injured." Chen Shuxian comforted her heartily.
Nangong Yueze shook his head and said in a calm tone: "Concubine, I'm fine."
Chen Shuxian sighed softly, walked to Nangong Yueze, squatted down, stroked his shoulder and said: "Ze'er, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself. You are already a member of my Nebula Empire. New Emperor, no matter what, you cannot fall."
"Well, Concubine, I know." Nangong Yueze nodded, reached out and held Chen Shuxian's hand on his shoulder. After a long silence, he said softly: "Concubine, in fact, I don't want to Be the emperor of this Nebula Empire..."
After listening to Nangong Yueze's words, Chen Shuxian looked slightly startled, and then said in a deep voice: "Ze'er, mother-in-law knows your concerns, but in the current situation, except for you to ascend the throne as emperor, there is no more suitable candidate. , The country cannot live without a king for a day. Unfortunately, your father was assassinated. As the crown prince, this is your responsibility and you must shoulder it."
"But..." Nangong Yueze's words reached his lips, but he finally swallowed them.
Anyway, since things have developed to this point, he can only let nature take its course and be the emperor of the mortal world for the time being.
"Ninth brother..." Just as the two were talking, Nangong Yichen suddenly walked in from outside the hall.
Just when he was about to speak, he saw Chen Shuxian standing next to Nangong Yueze. After a pause, he bowed and saluted the two of them, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and to Queen Chen!"
"What does third brother want from me?" Nangong Yueze calmed down, turned to look at Nangong Yichen and asked.
"Your Majesty, Nangong Jing is awake." Nangong Yichen said in a solemn voice.
"He's awake?!" Nangong Yueze stood up suddenly, with strong anger floating on his beautiful and flawless face, "I'm going to see him now! And, bring Li Yangming here too!!!"
"Yes!" Nangong Yichen nodded.
…
Nebula Empire, deep in the dungeon.
Nangong Yueze followed Nangong Yichen and walked directly to Nangong Jing's cell.
Pushing the door open, the two of them saw Nangong Jing lying on his side on the bed.
At this moment, Nangong Jing no longer had the arrogance and arrogance he had before, and his whole person looked decadent and vicissitudes of life.
"Ninth brother, do you want me to interrogate him and see who else is behind him?" Nangong Yichen looked at Nangong Yueze and asked.
Previously, Nangong Jing's cultivation suddenly skyrocketed during the battle, catching almost everyone off guard. It would have been absolutely impossible to do that without someone helping behind the scenes.
"No need." Nangong Yueze shook his head and said coldly, "I'll ask him personally."
After saying that, before Nangong Yichen could speak again, Nangong Yueze walked straight into the cell.
Hearing the sound of opening the door, Nangong Jing immediately raised his eyes and looked over. When he saw the figure in front of him, Nangong Jing immediately gritted his teeth and roared: "Nangong Yueze, do you still dare to come? I want to eat your flesh! Drink your blood!! Let you die badly!!"
Looking at the crazy Nangong Jing, Nangong Yueze raised his fist and hit him hard without saying a word.
boom! ! !
There was a muffled groan, and Nangong Jing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his cheeks instantly swelled.
"You bastard who killed his father and his mother!!" Nangong Yueze narrowed his eyes and spat out a few words coldly.
"Ha, hahaha..." When he heard the words 'patriicide and patricide', Nangong Jing laughed as if he was crazy. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and looked at Nangong Yueze suspiciously. "So what, for the sake of the throne, it doesn't matter if they sacrifice the two of them!"
"shut up!"
Hearing this, Nangong Yueze raised his hand, grabbed Nangong Jing's skirt mercilessly, and pressed him heavily against the wall.
Poof! !
A large mouthful of blood spurted out from Nangong Jing's throat! !
"Nangong Jing, listen to me, you paid the price for this! I will send your soul into the hell of purgatory, and let you suffer the pain of being devoured by thousands of ghosts! You will never be reincarnated for eternity!" Nangong Yue Ze grabbed Nangong Jing's neck tightly and growled coldly.
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!!" Nangong Jing struggled hard, "Nangong Yueze, so what if you win this time? Without the jade seal, you still can't be the king of the Nebula Empire! Cough cough cough!!"
"Jade Seal?? Is this what you are talking about?" Nangong Yueze smiled coldly, let go of his hand, and transformed a golden thing from the space ring.
Seeing this, Nangong Jing's pupils shrank instantly, "Yuxi?! Why is Yuxi here with you?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered what happened that night, and he understood it immediately. He immediately raised his eyes and stared at Nangong Yueze angrily, and roared angrily: "It turns out that the man in black who assassinated me that day was sent by you. , you stole the jade seal from me!!"
"Steal?" Nangong Yueze glanced at Nangong Jing indifferently, "You took advantage of my father's stroke to snatch the jade seal from his palace in an attempt to seize the imperial power of the Nebula Empire. How dare you accuse me of stealing?"
Nangong Jing's eyes widened and he breathed heavily. He stared at Nangong Yueze for a moment, as if he wanted to eat him alive. After a long time, he said coldly: "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit." , Nangong Yueze, I fell into your hands today, I admit it, if you can, just kill me!"
"You have done so many unscrupulous things, I will naturally not spare your life, but before that, there is one more thing I want to find out." Nangong Yueze curled her thin red lips and said coldly Asked: "Let me ask you, what happened to your cultivation that skyrocketed that day? Also, where are the hiding places of those demons?"
"Nangong Yueze, I don't understand what you are talking about!!" Nangong Jing closed his eyes and replied coldly.
"Hmph, do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't speak?" After Nangong Yueze finished speaking, he directly pressed his thumb and index finger on his forehead, started to use his mind-reading skills.
Soon, Nangong Jing's sea of consciousness was scanned by Nangong Yueze.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Nangong Yichen outside the cell was obviously a little surprised. He didn't know what Nangong Yueze was doing, let alone what spell the other party was casting. He only knew that from day to now, Nangong Yueze Everything he showed throughout the day made him feel shocked and puzzled.
In the past, he always felt that he knew Nangong Yueze very well, but at this moment, he felt that the other person was not simple, especially the innate nobility and domineeringness that he would never learn in his life.
He didn't dare to think about how many secrets he didn't know about the younger brother he had grown up with...
After a moment, Nangong Yueze withdrew his right hand and frowned in confusion.
Because in Nangong Jing's memory, there is no content about the existence of the Meihu tribe.
But during the day, the moves he showed to him were very similar to the moves of the Meihu tribe...
Could it be that I made a mistake?
Or could it be that the Meihu tribe had already taken action first and eliminated all Nangong Jing’s memories of them?
Thinking of this, Nangong Yueze suddenly turned around and shouted to Nangong Yichen outside the cell door: "Third brother, bring me Li Yangming!"
"Okay." Nangong Yichen responded and quickly left Nangong Jing's cell.
After waiting for half a cup of tea, Nangong Yichen's figure did not appear. Just when Nangong Yueze was about to go out to find him, suddenly, a violent crash came from the cell not far away.
Nangong Yueze's face darkened slightly, and he immediately rushed out.
Outside the cell not far away, the thick iron door was smashed into pieces.
Li Yangming was lying on the ground, with a huge blood hole in his heart, and blood was gurgling out.
He looked at Nangong Yueze with a face full of pain, and uttered a few words with all his strength, "It's... it's... it's them..."
However, before he finished speaking, he took his last breath, his eyes widened, and he refused to close his eyes.
