Chapter 211 - 209. Exterminated III (2/2)
.
Weisheng was conversing with Lu Ping at the border wall that separates Da Qi and Bei Zhou when a black thunder struck the wall followed by a black portal materialized in front of their eyes.
He could feel his blood run cold when he saw the portal. Without another word, he jumped into the portal and the portal disappeared into thin air. Qiyi immediately searched for Qier and departed to Chang An.
In the portal with endless darkness, Wesheng closes his eyes and clasped his hands. He searched for the other portal as he had installed several portals on his secret base so he could go there without being noticed.
Howbeit, the side effect of using the portal to travel is his power would become unstable. The same thing was happening now but worse. Since his heart was in turmoil from the bad premonition, the power that he tried hard to oppress was starting to resurface.
He could feel his heart burning with anger and aggravation. The tattoos on his back also started to expand to his abdomen. He took a deep breath as he said to himself that everything would be alright.
Yet, the moment he stepped out of the portal, his pupil constricted in horror. Meiyun was lying unconscious on a pool of blood. His eyes glanced at the two beds which both of them covered in red and black blood.
Weisheng: 'Sh-she gave birth…but why is there so much blood…'
His lips trembled as no word could come out from his throat. He looked around and saw a pile of dead bodies in front of the throne seat where he specially built a secret passageway for Hong er.
He stormed out of the hall to the courtyard and noticed that dozens of BZ soldiers surrounding the collapsed Ah Tong and Ah Xi. He immediately summoned his scythe and tore them into halves. He caught a glimpse of Ah Xi's lips moved. He ran to Ah Xi's side and roared.
Weisheng: ”What happened?! Where is Hong er?!”
Ah Xi: ”Your Majesty Empress…Help Her Majesty Empress…”
Weisheng clutched his head as the burning sensation began to make him lose his sanity. He roared as his fangs grew longer. He dashed off whilst following Qi of the ring that he gave Hong er a decade ago.
5 minutes of running in the forest, he sniffed a heavy scent of blood. He glanced around and found Huayun laying unconscious in the bushes. He pulled her out from the bushes and lightly slapped her face. Yet, there was no sign of her waking up.
Weisheng: ”Tch!”
He laid her down under the tree and cast a barrier to hide Huayun. From her injuries, he knew that this was the work of an assassin. If Huayun was not dead and she was hiding, it means the assassins were still lurking around looking for her.
As he thought, he met a few assassins on his way. He easily killed them and continued to run as if nothing happened. Another 10 minutes, he reached the Royal Palace's wall. He leaps over the 8-meter wall with ease.
Not long after, he heard an ear-piercing cry and clashing sound. He quickened his pace and finally arrived at the scene. The last strand of his sanity snapped from the sight in front of him.
