C19 (1/2)
He was called away?
Yun Duan narrowed her eyes. That was good too. She would be happy without that person around.
After dinner, Yun Duan felt that the atmosphere in the hall was very stuffy, so she walked to the courtyard outside the hall and stood in front of a weeping willow.
If this thing was really magical, why couldn't it protect the road ahead of it? Right now, he was at the age when he was full of ambitions, but heaven never gave in to his wishes, and people always said that he would die with a beautiful face, and this was the same for the noble direct blood relatives in the high walls of the palace. So what if he was the current emperor, even if fate wills him to be so, he would not be able to escape.
The autumn night's breeze was chilly. Qin Ni brought a thin shawl over and tied it to Yun Duan's body, ”Mistress, it is cold at night. You can enter the hall after standing for a little while!”
Yun Duan nodded, ”Yes, all of you may leave. I wish to be alone for a moment!”
”Alright!”
There were no stars in the sky, and all the things that she longed for could only stay in her memories forever. If she really wanted to reach that position in the end, then she would have to shoulder all the burdens of the world. But she knew that she wouldn't have the ability to do so.
At that time, she didn't know what despair was, but that fear and trepidation was enough to make her remember for the rest of her life. It was a pain that was carved into her bone marrow, and it could not be healed or touched.
When the wind blew, the weeping willow gently swayed. The clouds took a deep breath as she retreated a few steps and jumped onto the willow tree. This tree had existed for a long time with its thick branches and luxuriant leaves.
Yun Duan laid on the bed and asked after a while, ”Are you there?”
No one said anything.
”I know you're here!”
When the wind blew, everything became quiet. Just as Yun Duan was about to close her eyes, she felt that something was wrong. Her body reacted much earlier than her brain, but just as she left the willow tree, she was pulled back by a black shadow.
She was thrown into an embrace, a cold embrace.
Yun Duan was shocked. The black shadow seemed to know that she was going to shout and blocked her mouth.
Yun Duan narrowed her eyes. This person's speed was so fast that even her secret guards had not noticed. Could it be that her secret guards were not by her side at all?
The person behind him did not make a move. Yun Duan did not know what he was planning to do. With this Ten Thousand Palace cover, even if an expert were to enter, they would definitely alert the guard. However, this person had actually appeared without a sound.
”San Wang Ji, long time no see!”
It was a man's voice, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Yun Duan tried her best to recall, but she couldn't remember. She wanted to speak, but the man stopped her.
She slowly calmed herself down. At this time, the most people she could find were those who wanted to kill her, but this person actually didn't do anything.
Why?
Or did she not intend to kill her?
Yun Duan thought of many possibilities in his heart, but the black shadow did not say a word.
After a long time, the two of them remained in the same spot for a long time. Frankly speaking, even though Yun Duan was a bit nervous at the beginning, she had gradually relaxed her mind.
”I didn't expect you to be the third queen of the Sunset Emperor!”
The man spoke again, but Yun Duan still couldn't figure out what he meant.
”Where's your old yellow dog that has the same smell as you? ”Dead?”
Yun Duan shuddered. It was him, the man in black who killed without batting an eye.
She slowly clenched her fingers. Why did he come here? What was his purpose?
”I didn't expect that the Emperor Chen's most beloved Princess would have her God Bone taken down and even thrown into that evil and barren mountain. She's really spoiled it dearly!”
The man's voice was hoarse and low, concealing his real voice.
Yun Duan secretly swallowed her saliva. This person actually knew that her God Bone had been broken down, and this matter was secretly carried out, there were only a few people in the palace that knew about it, and those old people were all either dead or stupid.
Then, how did this person know? Could it be that his cultivation base had already reached a certain level?
”I heard that Immersed Emperor can't do it anymore. Third King, do you think he will pass it on to you?”
Yun Duan struggled. What was this person trying to do?
”I should have let you go, but you're blocking my way!”
Yun Duan's black eyes flickered. He wanted to kill her.
Before the man could make a move, a gale blew by. By the time Yun Duan reacted, her dark guards had already clashed with the masked man in black. With this exchange, all the guards in the palace surrounded them and torches lit up the sky.
The masked man shot out a ray of spirit energy, instantly cutting the approaching guard in half. Yun Duan was startled, if this person wasn't too confident, she would have already become a ghost under her saber.
If her divine bone hadn't been removed, then her cultivation definitely wouldn't have been much weaker over the years. But now, she was like a mortal, knowing only mortal martial arts.
The masked man's movements were very fast, and his actions were so fast that it caused people's eyes to be dazzled. The experts in the palace were unable to group together, but none of them were able to get close to him.
Only her dark guards could keep a close eye on the masked man.
With a slight lift of his spiritual power, the masked man exploded. The multicolored light exploded with a bang, and Yun Duan subconsciously covered her eyes. Afterwards, she was carried away until she stopped in front of the hall.
The Spiritual Energy of this world was so dense that one could not see anything.
Yun Duan narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the masked man did not intend to fight. Although his cultivation was not bad, it was not likely that he would want to take her life tonight.
When the spirit power had dispersed, Yun Kexin's pupils suddenly contracted. In such a short time, the area in front of her Floating Cloud Pavilion was littered with wreckage and blood was everywhere. The thick blood made her feel cold.
It was only a short while since the masked man had gone all out to kill. If there was more time, there would only be more casualties, and the masked man himself would not be hurt at all.
”Master!” Joan was so frightened that she began to cry, but she did not dare to cry out. She clenched her teeth and trembled all over.
Qin Ni was calmer than her by a bit, and hurried over to take a look at the clouds. ”Are you alright? ”Are there any injuries?”
Yun Duan shook her head and said in a slightly cold voice, ”I'm fine!”
The remaining guards all kneeled on the ground with their heads lowered. They spoke in unison, ”This subordinate's guard has arrived late. Please punish the three kings!”
Yun Duan calmed herself down. Her small face was a bit pale and the coldness from her body snaked all the way to her heart. The masked man in black would definitely return in the future.
She raised her hand and waved it. ”Count the number of casualties and report it to His Majesty!” In front of all these people, she was Emperor Chen's favorite three kings. She had to give him face.
”Yes, thank you, third prince!”
