Chapter 227 Dictator Lilim (2/2)
Diao Chan screamed a soundless voice as she could not exert her vocal chord's strength. The losses of the million years of hard work shattered her heart as she could feel that her power was taken away.
”WHY!?” Diao Chan cried.
[Who asked you to jump into this dimension along with your daughter? It's your fault in the first place for caring too much about that infected soul. I don't know what game you are playing, but this is my yard now, my world! I am the law here, and you will obey my rules. If you want to blame someone, blame it on your master who instigated the recent war in Heaven!]
Without bothering explaining anything else, Lilim deactivated the time stop.
Diao Chan flopped down on her knees, tearing as she could not handle the feeling of her loss. At the same time, she gritted her teeth in anger.
She had tried to help her family earlier, Zuo Ci stopped her. She tried to help her family again, Lilim stripped her power.
The feeling of being unreasonably oppressed by the stronger transformed into a grudge and resentment. Diao Chan vowed that one day once she could regain her power, the two ten-winged immortals had to pay for this humiliation.
'Ten million years, a hundred million years, a hundred thousand million years, I won't forget this!' She screamed in her mind and exploded out her killing intent.
Because the time had begun flowing normally, the killing intent enveloped all garrison soldiers and Dong Zhuo's men, terrifying all of them. Everyone panicked as the menacing air suffocated them to the point that half of the manly soldiers wet their pants.
As an ex-elite demoness, her natural killing intent far surpassed Lu Bu in many levels. Even without a demonic power, her killing intent was still her best deadly weapon against all foes.
”Invite Dong Zhuo inside the palace, but he has to leave his soldiers outside!” Diao Chan commanded Liu Yu.
Still being terrified by the little girl's presence, Liu Yu sent his order to his subordinates and gatekeepers, having them open the gate.
The gigantic bronze doors, the northern gate of the Capital, gave a loud creak as it was being pushed by twenty strong men. A messenger galloped toward Dong Zhuo and relayed a message.
”THE EMPRESS HAS SUMMONED DONG ZHUO INTO THE PALACE. ONLY DONG ZHUO CAN ENTER. THE REST OF THE SOLDIERS STAY OUTSIDE!” Shouted the horseman messenger.
Li Ru and Dong Zhuo glanced at each other, baffled by the series of developments.
They came here with the intention to fight, but they faced the sudden earthquake and a sign of a calamity. Then, they saw a flying little girl, who descended on top of the wall, after which, they sent a messenger to invite Dong Zhuo inside the palace by the Empress who they had no idea about.
”What is all this? Li Ru?”
”I don't know either, my Lord.”
Dong Zhuo frowned for a moment, ”An Empress? Now?”
The fat warlord gazed at the top of the wall. He could feel the killing intent coming from one of the people on top of it. As a veteran general who guarded the west border for years, Dong Zhuo only felt the intimidating aura, but it did not scare him enough to lose his calm. He still got a chill running down his spine and goosebumps though.
His brain worked as if he was a strategist on a battlefield. Several simulated scenarios appeared in his mind as Dong Zhuo was deducing about this ”Empress” existence.
An enlightenment and an inspiration came to his mind as he recalled that Liu Ping should have been dead by this time.
”Wenyou, any latest news about that Emperor brat and the results of the northern war?”
”There's only a rumor without a piece of concrete evidence. Spies from Shangdang said that the garrison soldiers gossiped about the death of Liu Ping, but nobody has seen his corpse or the announcement from their superior.”
”That's good enough. I have an idea. HAHAHAHA!”
Dong Zhuo kicked his horse forward and commanded Li Ru, ”Stationed our troops outside! I'm going to see this [Empress] for a bit. Hua Xiong! Come with me!”
The muscular general galloped his horse and followed Dong Zhuo, acting as his bodyguard.
As for Dong Zhuo, he did not enter the gate like the messenger or how Diao Chan had summoned him. Instead, he shouted, ”I WANT TO TALK TO THE EMPRESS! SUMMON HER HERE THIS INSTANT OR WE SHALL STRIKE!”
Hearing the bold declaration, the soldiers on the wall and the front armies shouted back in anger.
”How dare you!?”
”You dare to summon Her Majesty!?”
”Who the hell do you think you are!?”
Dong Zhuo laughed and ignored the retorts of the soldiers. He gazed on top of the wall with a provoking expression.
”I don't have all days! Soldiers, get ready,” Dong Zhuo waved his hands.
Meanwhile, Diao Chan looked at the situation below with a grim look. Had she not lost all of her power, this fat bug could have been squashed to death easily by her.
Though she was frustrated and angered by Lilim, she swallowed her pride and shouted, ”I shall go down to talk to him. Arrange bodyguards for me!”
