Chapter 128 - Great Catastrophe, Most Powerful In Northern Wilderness Region (1/2)

At a relay station in Juemo Wasteland.

There was a small inn, with three tables inside.

A tall-looking man sat at one of the tables. He wore white clothes and carried a black curved-blade that was six inches wide.

His black hair was tied up behind his head. His eyes were sharp, and his facial features were defined, as though his face was carved with a knife.

His head hung low as he shook the wine cup in his hand lightly.

At this moment, two men walked into the inn as they chatted and laughed.

“Tsk tsk. I didn’t expect the Empress to die right outside Great Zhou. Not even a piece of her was left. Miserable.”

“Yeah. Sword God Zhou was too ruthless!”

“That Xitan Changshi is too useless. He could not even protect the Empress. How is he fit to be the State General?”

“We have a great drama going on. Xinhao Sect wants to kill Sword God Zhou, Great Zhou too.”

The two chatted as they called the server over.

The man in white put down his wine cup and walked to their table. “What you have said is true?” He said with a deep voice.

The two looked up at him and were frightened by his icy eyes.

“Yes, it is true. The news has spread all over Juemo Wasteland!” They answered truthfully immediately.

“Right. News of it has been spread into Great Zhou!”

The man in white heard them and immediately turned around to leave.

With each step covering 100 meters, he disappeared into the horizon after seven steps.

The two men, the server, as well as the inn owner, were all stunned by what they saw.

The white clouds at the horizon were suddenly torn apart, as though the sky was cut asunder.

…

The Great Zhou Empire.

In a palace. A muscular man who wore a black robe with python patterns was cultivating on his bed.

He had a handsome face. With two hands in front of his abdomen, palms facing upwards, streams of winds flowed in the palace, swaying the candle lights ceaselessly.

He was Zhou Yalong!

Great Zhou Royal Family’s top prodigy. The one who had the most hope to succeed the throne!

Zhou Yalong’s brows were slightly raised. He felt a little uneasy.

Somehow, he felt that something terrible was happening.

The higher one’s cultivation goes, the more likely such feelings pointed to something real.

At this moment, a maidservant walked into the door quickly.

“My prince! Bad news…”

The maidservant knelt before him and cried out fearfully. Her face was pale, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Zhou Yalong frowned. “What happened?” He asked with a deep voice.

“The Empress… The Empress… She…”

The maidservant choked with sobs and could not speak a full sentence for a long time.

Zhou Yalong’s expression changed drastically. He raised his right hand and took the maidservant into his hand. “Say it clearly!” He said, gritting his teeth, “Do you want to die?”

The horrifying murderous intent sent shivers down the maidservant’s spine. She immediately cried out, “The Empress was killed in Juemo Wasteland! She was killed by Sword God Zhou!”

With this, Zhou Yalong felt like he was struck by lightning. He looked as though he lost his soul.

He felt weak in his right hand, and the maidservant dropped to the ground. She immediately flipped herself up to kneel down out of fear.

Zhou Yalong sat paralyzed on his head. His lips trembled as he wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say.

He touched the bedsheets anxiously as his face turned sinister.

“What you said is true?”

“Wasn’t Xitan Changshi escorting her?”

Zhou Yalong roared like a furious lion.

At this moment, he really wanted to tear Sword God Zhou into pieces.

“Xinhao Sect’s Huang Ming was in the battle too. General Xitan was tied up with him.”

The maidservant replied carefully. It was her first time seeing Zhou Yalong like this. It made her terrified.

“Hahaha…”

Zhou Yalong burst out into laughter, which emanated a murderous intent that could cut deep into ones bones.

How could he not know how powerful Huang Ming was?
