Chapter 432 (1/2)

Nalan Ruyue was feeling more and more confused and her heart was also becoming more and more restless.

”My husband, what is going on? If you still refuse to tell me what is going on, I'll stay here. I won't go anywhere else.” Nalan Ruyue shook off Long Yi's hand as she descended from the sky. In a fit of pique, she sat under a tree and refused to get up. Although she was acting like a spoilt child, her heart was jumping violently.

Long Yi sighed in his heart and walked in front of Nalan Ruyue. If they continued their journey, they would have crossed the border in just a few minutes. They would already have been in the Nalan Empire.

”There is nothing going on… I was thinking of visiting the sea in Blue Moon City. Could it be that you don't miss the sea in Blue Moon City?” Long Yi sat beside Nalan Ruyue and asked her. According to his calculations, the Nalan Empire might be already flipped upside down by now.

”Of course I miss the sea. I miss everything in Blue Moon City. However… My heart is restless. It is beating so quickly, I'm afraid that it might burst out of my chest soon. It's telling me that something bad has happened.” Nalan Ruyue grabbed Long Yi's hand in agitation as she pressed it against her towering left chest. Long Yi could feel that her heartbeat was truly chaotic.

Long Yi sank into silence as he wondered whether or not to break the news to her.

”My husband, don't hide anything from me. I know that something definitely happened. Otherwise, your smile wouldn't contain pity whenever you look at me. You also wouldn't have left the military camp so hastily without properly greeting everyone.” Nalan Ruyue was extremely anxious as she wanted to know what exactly happened.

Long Yi patted Nalan Ruyue's beautiful face and decided to tell her. In any case, Nalan Ruyue would learn the truth sooner or later.

”Currently, your father should be surrounded by his enemies and his condition seems grim. Your two brothers are also fighting for the throne.” Long Yi said with a serious expression as he stared into Nalan Ruyue's eyes. He couldn't bear to look at Nalan Ruyue's increasingly pale complexion any longer.

”How could that be? Emperor Father had always been healthy. This is not possible… Could it be that someone plotted against him? Did someone plan to murder Emperor Father? Who could it be? Long Yi, tell me who did it.” Nalan Ruyue shook Long Yi's arm as she yelled. Although she hated Nalan Wuji, he was her biological father after all. Moreover, she knew that Nalan Wuji greatly doted on her. Deep in her heart, she still loved him.

”Your two big brothers. They colluded with the Proud Moon Empire and the beast-men clans.” Long Yi sighed. Seeing as Nalan Ruyue was about to faint, he wrapped his hands around her and hugged her closer to himself.

In the past, Yin Jian had learnt about this shocking news when he discreetly probed around the Bimeng Clan. The two sons of Nalan Wuji, Nalan Wen and Nalan Wu, had been feeling Nalan Wuji a slow acting poison since a long time ago. The poison was given to them by the Dark Church. The poison wouldn't show any symptoms when ingested. However, it would acc.u.mulate in the body of the victim. When too much poison was acc.u.mulated in the body of the victim, it would change into dark power to corrode the internal organs and blood vessels of the victim. That was not all, the poison would affect the corpse, and the corpse would give everyone the impression that the victim was a cultivator of dark magic.

In the past, Nalan Wuji had already been sick. He was already beyond cure when Long Yi learnt that he was sick. Not to mention the fact that the distance between Mea Princ.i.p.ality and Blue Moon City was too far. Long Yi didn't return immediately when he learnt about the news.

Long Yi knew that after Nalan Wuji died, the Nalan Empire would fall into chaos. Nalan Wen and Nalan Wu, being idiots, would definitely recall both legions from the Yatesianna defense line. They would use the two legions to contend for power and it would affect the war. If they did that, the alliance of the Violent Dragon Empire and the Nalan Empire would collapse without a doubt, and obtaining victory would become a pipe dream. All of their previous victories which they had obtained after paying a huge price would be thrown away.

Moreover, the Proud Moon Empire and the beast-men clans would take advantage of this opportunity. The Proud Moon Empire would definitely counter-attack, and the armies of the beast-men clans would start a rebellion.

The entire Blue Waves Continent would be thrown into greater chaos and it would become a mess of blended porridge. At that time, the true slaughtering would begin and numerous ethnic groups would likely go extinct.

Whatever the case, Long Yi couldn't let this happen. As such, he used the Violent Dragon Legion to completely seal off the borders. He was making sure that the messengers of the Nalan Empire could not come into contact with the troops on the frontline. Of course the soldiers' morale would be affected when they heard the news. The Proud Moon Empire would definitely spread the news of Nalan Wuji's death without any restraint. However, without the official letter from the Nalan Empire, the two legions from the Nalan Empire would not be able to retreat even if they were suspicious of anything. When the time comes, the people from the Skynet Intelligence Organisation would do their thing and there shouldn't be any big problems.

”My husband, let's quickly return home. Rumeng is still in Blue Moon City. She must be extremely scared now.” Currently, Nalan Ruyue's face was white as a sheet, and it was so pale that there wasn't a trace of blood. After thinking about what happened, she thought of her younger sister, Nalan Rumeng. If anything happened to Nalan Rumeng, she would definitely break down.

Long Yi nodded his head. Holding onto Nalan Ruyue's slender waist, he flew towards Blue Moon City.

The moment they entered the Nalan Empire, they were shocked. Beyond Long Yi's expectations, the entire empire had already fallen into chaos. The news of Nalan Wuji's death due to the backlash of cultivating dark power was already broadcasted the day before. Since then, Nalan Wen and Nalan Wu had already started their race for the throne. With their supporters backing them, they had already commanded all the garrison forces to return to Blue Moon City. This resulted in city-wide chaos, as social order was disrupted. Robbing, killing, and stealing were rampant. Everyone felt insecure and the entire empire was in turmoil.

Seeing the chaos underneath them, the pale Nalan Ruyue gritted her teeth. She clearly knew what was going on. Since the Nalan Empire had met with disaster and had fallen into chaos, the subsidiary kingdoms and princ.i.p.alities would definitely hit them when they were down. As for what kind of people her brothers were, she was extremely clear about it. They were worse than trash, and if she wasn't careful, the foundation of the Nalan Empire which was built over a millennium would be destroyed in a day. That would be the end for the Nalan Empire.

”My husband, what should I do?” Nalan Ruyue stuck closer to Long Yi in order to draw warmth from his body. If Long Yi wasn't standing beside her, she would have already fallen.

”Nothing will happen, I will be by your side.” Long Yi softly comforted Nalan Ruyue. However, he spoke in a steadfast tone.
