C208 (1/2)

The pitch-black capital was shrouded in endless fear. Corpses emitting a foul stench and a bloody aura could be seen everywhere, causing a chill in the air.

The crown prince, Mo Feiye, and Mo Feiling fought fiercely with the imperial guards and the werewolves for four hours. The werewolves were numerous and immortal, so the imperial guards were beaten until they were forced to retreat step by step to the palace gates.

They had already received the news that it was possible that the Phoenixis Maiden would come to suppress the werewolf.

After all, the werewolves from hundreds of years ago were also sealed with blood by the ancestors of the Phoenixis Maiden.

”Miss Shangguan, please!”

As soon as they arrived at the palace gates, they were hastily escorted by an imperial guard to the gates.

A pungent smell of blood could be smelled through the thick walls of the palace.

Shangguan Jingyan frowned as he held onto Dongfang Chen's hand tightly. He was extremely afraid in his heart.

”Miss Shangguan, Prince Chen, you're here!”

Seeing the two of them, Mo Feiling's eyes revealed joy, he anxiously went forward, his face that was covered in blood had a trace of paleness in it.

”Prince Ling, are these werewolves really not going to be killed?”

Dongfang Chen's expression turned serious as he looked at the streets. Broken corpses covered the ground, and the streets were dyed red with blood, causing half of the sky to turn black.

”It's not that we can't kill them, we even killed the weaker cultivators.” However, they were resurrected two hours later. ”

Mo Feiling's expression remained indifferent, but thinking of such a strange thing, his back turned cold.

At the moment, half of the werewolves had already been killed by the imperial guards. They only had two hours to kill them. Otherwise, the capital would once again fall into death, and there would be no way to fight back anymore.

”But …”

”What are you saying? The number of werewolves has increased again.

Dongfang Chen wanted to ask something else, but Mo Feiye angrily roared at them, raised his shiny blade, and slashed towards the group of wolves.

Dongfang Chen was angry in his heart, but because of the situation, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and took out his sword to join the battle.

Shangguan Jingyan persisted, drawing out the soft whip from his chest, waving it to stab into the pack of wolves.

The Crimson Whip was something her father had specially brought from the Western Regions with him. It was a special technique given to her by her mother — the Pure Jade Heart Whip.

All these years, she had been busy with reading and writing, music, chess, painting, and craftsmanship. At night, her father taught her how to whip, but he warned her repeatedly that she was not allowed to show it in front of outsiders.

Only now did she have the chance to show off her skills, but there was a trace of inexplicable fear in her heart.

One of them had scarlet eyes, while the other had long fur. He emitted a strong stench as he spoke.

Shangguan Jingyan was distracted for a moment, but the werewolf pounced towards her, slapping her shoulder with his palm. He was caught off guard and pushed back three meters.

Before she could recover, the werewolf pounced on her again, ready to bite her neck.

In that moment, Shangguan Jingyan reacted and flew into the air, landing a kick on the werewolf's head, borrowing the momentum to whip him again. The whip wrapped around his neck and threw her ruthlessly out.

This action caused Dongfang Chen and the others to be shocked, they never thought that Shangguan Jingyan's martial arts would be so powerful.

Two hours later, the werewolves that they had killed earlier came back to life, and their power immediately grew.

Dongfang Chen and the rest were not a match for the werewolves, they were forced into a corner by the werewolves and were struggling bitterly.

”Miss Shangguan, aren't you Phoenixis Maiden? It is rumored that the Phoenixis Maiden's blood can seal the werewolves and also suppress them.

Mo Feiye crawled up from the bloody corpse of the imperial guards, his legs trembling as his eyes filled with fear.

Facing the hungry werewolves, they were like fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

For them, who had lived in a honeypot since they were young, this was undoubtedly a test of their souls.

Under the watch of everyone, Shangguan Jingyan raised his sword, his gaze becoming ruthless as he slashed at his own arm.

In the blink of an eye, blood gushed out like a dyed river, causing people's hearts to tremble.

Shangguan Jingyan didn't have time to think further. She chanted the chant her mother gave her when she was young silently in her heart, speeding up the flow of her blood. She could clearly feel warm blood flowing out of her arms, which hurt a little.

Dongfang Chen and the rest looked at her at the same time, the atmosphere was tense.

Time passed minute by minute, Shangguan Jing's face turned pale as she bled. Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down her ears, drop by drop onto the ground, just like her heart.

After a long while, Shangguan Jingyan finally could no longer hold on and slowly fell to the ground, his vision turning dark.

Everyone finally knew the truth that she was not the successor of Phoenixis Maiden.

She fell to the ground, but no one went to help her up. In front of her was the wolfman, who was eyeing her covetously. Anyone who went over would definitely die.

Including Dongfang Chen who had always claimed to love her.

”Roar …”

After a long while, the werewolves seemed to have tasted Shangguan Jingyan's fresh blood. While Dongfang Chen and the others were unprepared, they swarmed over and surrounded her.
