LRAB Chapter 244 The Sorrow of the Snowy Night
Chapter 244 The Sorrow of the Snowy Night
Heaven Dou Empire.
Tonight's night sky is darker than before. The bright moon in the sky seems to be wrapped by the giant hand of a demon, with no trace of light visible.
There was not a single pedestrian on the streets of Tiandou City, the most prosperous capital of the Tiandou Empire, tonight, and the patrol guards who were often seen on weekdays were missing for some unknown reason.The red lanterns on both sides in front of Wanjiamenshan also look extremely strange in the flickering candles. At a glance, they look like the eyes of an abyss demon, which is breathtaking.
wind--
Suddenly, a strange wind blew, and thousands of seemingly disembodied figures suddenly appeared out of thin air on the street. They were all floating in a cloud of gray mist, making it difficult to see the clothes they were wearing. The only pair of eyes that seem to freeze one's heart just by looking at them, are extremely bright.
The moment these thousands of figures shrouded in gray mist appeared, the red lanterns in front of the houses on both sides of the surrounding streets suddenly shook violently and uneasily, and the strange candles inside also flickered. It seemed like it was going to go out at any moment.
wind--
Turn off, turn off, turn off! ! !
In the silent street, another gust of evil wind suddenly hit, and the lights on both sides of the surrounding houses finally couldn't bear the force of the wind and extinguished one after another.The originally dimly lit street also turned pitch black at this moment, making it difficult to see even one's fingers.And as the lights went out, the thousands of figures floating in the gray mist completely disappeared into the darkness at this moment.
……
"Strange! Why do I suddenly feel uneasy?"
Emperor Xueye, who was handling government affairs in the imperial study, slowly put down the slips in his hands, raised his head and looked outside, revealing a pair of worried eyes, with inexplicable thoughts in his heart.
"Huh? Why are you so quiet?"
Emperor Xueye frowned. The silence in the air seemed to be too much, and then he looked around. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly shrank, and a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly emerged in his heart.
Because he found that the maid who always stayed with him no matter what he did, was also missing. He also did not feel the maid's presence at the door.
"Come here! Where is Little Plum?"
There was no response, and in the entire spacious room, there was only the echo except Xue Ye's voice.His mind suddenly sank. Even the most obtuse person could realize that something was wrong, not to mention that he was the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xueye.
The servant who usually stayed close to him suddenly disappeared, and the footsteps that could be heard everywhere in the palace were silent and deserted. All of this happened quietly under his eyes, and he, as the lord of the empire, Xue Ye I didn't realize it until now.
calm!calm!
Emperor Xueye forced himself to calm down. He was the leader of a country and must not panic.He looked around and saw that, except for the absence of little plum, there was no change from before. Then he stepped out of the room and came to the balcony outside the hall. Looking at the scene below, except for the fact that there was no one, there was nothing there. Only darkness remained.
The entire Tiandou Empire’s palace, no!Or to be more precise, in the entire Tiandou City, except for the lights in the main hall where Xue Ye was, everything around him was pitch black, as if he was the only one left in the world.
At this moment, even if Xue Ye was the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, no matter how strong his character was, no matter how deep his city was, facing this situation, he began to panic in his heart.
After all, he is only at the Soul King level, and as the emperor, most of the combat power in the entire palace has gone to support the two beast tides. Not to mention that the military strength is seriously lacking, even if the military strength is not empty, facing this kind of situation He was equally overwhelmed by the situation.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that outsiders are invading at this time. He doesn't know how the enemy did all this, but until this time, there is still no one coming to rescue him, which can already explain a lot of things. .
"Jiejiejiejiejiejiao..."
"Hey hahahaha..."
At this moment, a strange laughter suddenly came from the darkness below. Xue Ye was startled and quickly looked down, but could see nothing but darkness.
"Eeeeeeeeeah hahahahaha..."
As soon as Xue Ye stretched out his head and looked down, the weird laughter suddenly came from behind him. He quickly looked back. Although there was a light behind him, he still didn't see anything.
As soon as Xue Ye turned around, the weird laughter suddenly came from all around him. This time, the laughter was no longer coming from a single direction, but coming from all directions.
Xue Ye looked around in panic, but except for the weird laughter, there was still no one. He saw nothing.
He began to panic in his heart, and shouted loudly to the people around him: "Who are you? What's the point of pretending to be a ghost? Show your true form to me if you have the guts!"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."
"Someone! Come quickly! Help! Someone come quickly! Help!"
But no matter how much Emperor Xue Ye shouted, the only response he received was the weird laughter everywhere in the void.At this moment, his mind was completely filled with fear, and his spirit had begun to collapse.
"Who are you? What do you want? Why are you pretending to be such a fool and playing tricks on me?"
Swish!
At this moment, suddenly a ghost shadow flashed past Xue Ye, and then another ghost shadow floated past him. Xue Ye looked around with panic on his face, more and more, There are more and more, and the surroundings are surrounded by shadows that are as fast as ghosts. With the weird laughter floating in the air, the figures appear and disappear.
Swish!
At this moment, a ghost figure wearing a ferocious mask suddenly floated in front of Xue Ye, only less than five centimeters away from him, staring at him and smiling.
"Are you looking for me?"
"scare!"
Xue Ye was suddenly frightened. He looked at the grimace mask that was about to stick to his face, his eyes filled with fear.
"Uh-huh, hahahahaha..."
This ghost figure seemed to enjoy Xue Ye's frightened face very much. Looking at the other person's expression, he suddenly laughed strangely. What was even weirder was that his grimace mask, which was supposed to be very rigid, actually followed it. He laughed, revealing a mouth that was split to the base of his ears.Even the dim lights in this hall began to become strange and alluring, and the fiery red lanterns were even mixed with blood.
"Ghost... ghost!"
Xue Ye looked at the ferocious and strange smiling face facing him and the terrifying atmosphere around him. He screamed out in fear. His mind suddenly stopped under the extreme fright. Then his eyes widened and he was filled with emotions. He fell down in fear.
From then on, the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xueye, was frightened to death. Until the moment of his death, he did not know who was going to attack him, nor did he understand who the other party was. How to do it.
At the moment when Xue Ye was frightened to death, the thousands of ghost figures that had been floating around disappeared together, and the weird laughter also disappeared. The lantern mixed with blood also returned to its original function. appearance.Even this entire dark space was shattered like a mirror, and then the light slowly returned.
When the darkness shrouding Tiandou City disappeared, where was the street empty?The lights of thousands of houses shine brightly, illuminating the streets filled with laughter and endless streams of pedestrians.
Compared to the prosperity of Tiandou City, the imperial palace in the inner city was a scene of silence. Thousands of soldiers wearing white armor, carrying long guns, surrounded a magnificent palace.At this time, on the balcony on the top floor of the hall, hundreds of civil servants in official uniforms or military generals in armor were kneeling on the ground with expressions of silence on their faces. Directly in front of them lay their eyes wide open. Emperor Xueye was full of fear.
At this time, these officials were also very confused. Just a quarter of an hour ago, Emperor Xueye, who was reviewing the memorial, suddenly went crazy.
Yes, it was the little Li Zi who suddenly went crazy. He had been waiting beside Xue Ye. He suddenly saw their emperor standing up, and then suddenly shouted that someone was coming. No matter how he shouted or pulled him, the other party seemed like As if he couldn't see his presence, he walked to the balcony on his own, and then saw the other person yelling with fear in his eyes.
Xiao Lizi cried and walked up to him, but after the other party took one look at him, he was violently killed alive...
"Huh? Didn't you ask someone to send a message to the harem? Why haven't you seen anyone come for so long?"
"Where is the fourth prince? Where is the prince? The emperor passed away, why didn't even the two of them come?"
As time passed, the officials below began to commotion, and the prime minister, who was kneeling at the head, also realized that something was wrong. Because he had gone crazy on the snowy night, and the maid went to call someone after realizing that something was wrong, but it was not until the emperor was half dead. A quarter of an hour later, there was still no one from the harem and the prince, and even Prince Snow Star was nowhere to be seen.
You must know that at this time, Emperor Xueye still refuses to rest in peace!If the royal family doesn't come, they are not qualified to sleep for His Majesty.But we can’t just let Xue Ye die in silence, right?
Immediately, the Prime Minister turned back to look at Xiao Lizi who was kneeling beside Xue Ye in pain and said, "Go and see what's going on. Why is His Majesty passing away and no one from the royal family comes?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuah...yes!"
Xiao Lizi cried and retreated from Xue Ye on his knees, taking a step back and kowtowing.
The Prime Minister silently watched Xiao Lizi's leaving figure, then turned back and said, "Where is the imperial doctor?"
"The subordinate is here!"
A healing soul saint who was kneeling not far from the prime minister raised his head and responded.He is the royal healing soul master beside Xue Ye. He is also the healing soul master with the highest soul power, the strongest healing ability, and the highest official position in the Tiandou Empire.
"Have you found out how His Majesty died?"
"Returning to your Majesty the Prime Minister, I haven't found anything out of the ordinary!"
"Well... then let's check the meal your Majesty eats tonight, who cooked it and who delivered it, all nine tribes are involved!" the Prime Minister ordered in a cold tone.
"Yes!"
Now that Xue Ye is dead and the prince and Prince Xue Xing are not around, he has the greatest power.Under such circumstances, naturally no one dared to refute him, because he was not only a prime minister, but also the most powerful person in the Tiandou Empire.
"No...it's not good! All the concubines...in the harem are dead!"
"No...it's not good! Prince Xuexing is dead, and the whole family of three including the princess and the little prince is dead!"
"It's bad! The fourth...the fourth prince is dead!"
"No...it's not good! His Royal Highness is missing!"
"..."
At this time, the maids and guards who had left to inform the harem and the royal family shouted loudly downstairs in fear.
"what!"
Including the prime minister, a total of 340 four civil and military officials were suddenly shocked, and all of them had panic in their eyes.At this moment, everyone present finally understood that this was a premeditated and targeted assassination.
"Who is it? Spirit Hall? Or Star Luo Empire?"
At this moment, the Prime Minister suddenly thought deeply that even though he had been in power recently, he no longer wanted to fight for power.
"Quick! Pass the border quickly and notify all troops to return to the capital as soon as possible!"
……
But no one noticed that on a building not far from here, there was a straight figure covered in a black robe, looking at the civil and military officials in the hall indifferently.
suddenly!
This figure moved, and before anyone could react, he flashed like a ghost onto the balcony of the main hall, and took away Emperor Xue Ye who was still staring at death with lightning speed.
"..."
Miraculously, no one among the hundreds of people in the entire hall tried to stop the other party. After a moment of panic, they actually watched the other party take away Xue Ye's body in a tacit understanding.
It wasn't until they saw each other go away and no longer be seen that everyone on the balcony finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's so scary. The breath just now made me feel like I was falling into an ice cave!"
The prime minister, who had level 86 Contra strength, looked at the sky where the black-robed man was retreating, and thought with lingering fear as he patted his chest.
The moment the other party appeared, he originally wanted to stop him reflexively, but when he felt the fleeting aura on the other party, he was frightened.
Now that Xue Ye is dead, no one in the entire royal family has survived, not even the dozens of concubines in the harem including the queen.Before he does anything, he has to start thinking about whether it's worth it.
Moreover, the most important thing is that from the fact that the other party only killed Xue Ye and the royal family and did not harm civilians, it means that the other party did not want to kill more 'innocent' people for some unknown reason.Therefore, there is no need for him to force his way forward and waste his life in vain.
The inner thoughts of many other civil and military officials present were very different from those of the Prime Minister. More importantly, they saw that the Prime Minister did not even take action to stop the man in black robe, so they also chose to watch him leave.
