Before long, night fell. Darkness enveloped the Yan Palace again, as well as the Golden Summit Palace. In the royal palace, the lights gradually lit up.
Lanterns are hung in the long streets and deep alleys. However. Only in the Golden Dome Palace, there have been no palace guards coming to hold lamps on duty.
The reason why no one came to hold the lamp was because something terrible happened! Because of this incident, the palace guards began to fear this place, and no one dared to approach it again!
What happened was this... In the morning, there were three hundred palace guards in the barracks who were summoned by King Yan to go to the Golden Summit Palace.
However, only one person named Zhang Yan escaped by chance, but the other 299 people never came back.
With so many palace guards missing, it would be natural for someone to pay attention. This resulted in all kinds of news flying all over the place and all kinds of rumors spreading everywhere.
And according to those messages, people already know the truth. That is, when the current King Yan entered the ancestral cave last night, he received the gift of spiritual manifestation from his ancestors and obtained the magical power of soaring into the clouds and riding the mist!
I don't know what means were used to make the palace guards who were summoned also have the ability to fly.
At Mao hour, King Yan led these palace guards and set out on fog horses from the courtyard of the Golden Summit Palace. However, when Shenshi arrived, there was news that King Yan had put down the demon-slayer’s rebellion!
After expelling the invaders from the Sword Fairy Kingdom, they flew into the clouds and rode in the mist, returning triumphantly from the rain. It was only one day before and after...but that's where the blame lies.
Only King Yan returned, and the palace guards who left with him had disappeared.
At first, people thought that the palace guards were left to guard the border... However, it was not until the patrolling guards discovered something outside the palace that people understood.
Things are really not that simple! It turned out that what the patrolling guards found outside the palace city was none other than the skeletons of the missing palace guards.
The appearance of their deaths was extremely horrific! There is no flesh and blood on the whole body, it is all withered skin and bones wrapped around it, looking like a mummy.
This discovery made all the palace guards who knew about it panic. However, fear returns to fear... Although everyone knows that this is a huge event, no one dares to make it public... because after all, it involves the Yan royal family and the ancestors of the Yan family!
Therefore, even though I knew that what I was doing was indeed harmful to nature and cruel to human beings, I still had no choice but to do anything about it.
So the palace guards decided to keep silent. I can only understand what is going on in private, but publicly I am not allowed to say a word about it!
As a result, everyone is fearful and uneasy... The shadow is like this dark night, covering the palace and the hearts of all those who know it... At this moment.
Something is happening quietly in the golden-domed palace where no one lights the lamp... Deep underground in the golden-domed palace, in the Zugu Cave, the lives of several demon-slayers are coming to an end... One of them, It's Qi Fei!
Ever since he was controlled by the power of the life-binding soul-locking technique in Xuefeng City, his consciousness had fallen into a state of chaos.
Both the body and soul seemed to have fallen into the endless lead water. They were extremely heavy and unable to move. It's still a bit confusing now... but it's obvious that the energy that suppresses the body and soul is slightly loosened for unknown reasons at this moment.
Drowsily, Qi Fei opened his eyes... First, chaos rushed into his field of vision. It's no wonder... My body and soul have just woken up, and when I look at things, it's like a layer of black mist is floating in front of my eyes.
The more I want to see clearly quickly, the harder it becomes. Therefore, Qi Fei cultivated his soul and moved it quickly so that his vision would become clear quickly.
At the same time, we are also prepared for the next emergency situation. After all, before he was suppressed by the life-binding soul-locking technique and passed out, the situation he was in was extremely chaotic and unclear!
At that time, something strange was happening in the sky above Xuefeng City... The rumored King of Yan, Yan Huanren, who had no power of cultivation, actually appeared in the sky riding a horse made of black mist, full of murderous intent!
One look at that look, it means that he has received some kind of blessing! When Qi Fei saw that scene, he immediately felt a strong sense of foreboding.
He immediately felt that there must be a fierce battle about to appear in Xuefeng City. However, it is a pity that all demon slayers, including himself, are restrained by the life-binding and soul-locking technique... They have so many methods, but they can't use them at all.
It’s really as frustrating as it is! So much effort has been put in before, so many strategies have been formulated, and so many strategic means have been prepared.
But in the end, none of them were used... Everything did not develop as he expected.
Qi Fei was extremely unwilling! He was so upset and angry that he almost vomited blood. After being bound by the life-binding and soul-locking technique on the top of the city wall, he has been carrying this emotion and being stuck in chaos.
But at this moment. Suddenly I realized that my soul and body were back under my control. Qi Fei woke up immediately, as if grasping a life-saving straw!
He wanted to wake up soon. I want to open my eyes quickly and see what is happening at this moment! He quickly circulated the power of his soul and poured the power into his eyes.
Then, he opened his eyes wide and looked seriously. However, what caught his eyes was still darkness.
"What is this place?!..." Qi Fei was shocked. You must know that after the eyes of a ninth-level demon-slayer are infused with soul cultivation, even on a dark night without sunlight or moonlight, they can still see clearly what is in front of them.
But at this time, I don't know what kind of power was shrouded in this place, which made Qi Fei unable to see anything clearly!
He was unwilling to give in. He has obviously woken up and is able to control his soul and body...but he is still trapped in chaos and unable to escape!
You must not sit still and wait for death. Since you can’t see it clearly, try using other senses! So Qi Fei mobilized his ears and nose.
Through listening and smelling, I gradually feel something coming out. This is not an empty area! From the delicious smell and stale atmosphere that permeates the air, you can tell that this is definitely a closed place.
"Why did I enter a place like this?!..." Where did the others go? ...Qi Fei was confused.
So, he tried to stand up and wanted to explore more carefully what this place was.
You have to see it clearly! So Qi Fei opened his eyes wide and looked harder. finally. In his field of vision, he finally sensed some outlines of things here!
It is indeed a space enclosed on all sides... However. As his vision gradually adapted, Qi Fei soon discovered that in front of him at this moment, there seemed to be the outline of a huge creature, lying quietly in the darkness!
He was startled. So he shouted loudly and angrily:
"Who is it?! Who is there?!" The scolding question immediately echoed here. It is indeed a closed space!
However, the darkness in front of him made it difficult for him to see clearly and accurately what kind of closed space this was and how wide it was.
But Qi Fei no longer cares about studying what kind of place this is! His heart began to be shrouded in fear, and the feeling of fear became more and more intense.
Because, at this moment, he felt the huge creature in front of him blowing out a stream of breath.
It's like a lion yawning! There is indeed something in front of me! Qi Fei's heart was trembling. His eyes were fixed on the darkness before him.
Suddenly, there was movement in the darkness! Then, about a foot away in front of Qi Fei, a pair of huge eyes opened!
There was no human emotion in those eyes...cold and bloodthirsty. The hairs all over Qi Fei's body stood up in fright.
When he saw those eyes, his soul was shocked. I knew immediately that those eyes were definitely not human!
"What are you?!" Qi Fei shouted, emboldening himself. However, this loud shout revealed that Qi Fei was scared.
His courage is broken! His back was pressed against the wall... his whole body was trembling, and he was staring intently at those strange, heartless eyes.
