Chapter 216 - 214. Make Her Unable To Love Him!!! I (1/2)

Third-person POV

Weisheng hopped from one roof to another as he studied the whole layout of the Royal Palace. He climbed to the top of the highest tower in the Royal Palace and activated his inner sight.

He furrowed his brows in suspicion, he couldn't detect even an ounce of Hong er's presence nor her Qi. No matter how weak it one's presence is, he always could detect it. Yet, at this severe time, every skill that he possessed became useless.

Although he wanted to go search for Hong er without caring for anything, he still remembered the promise that he made with Hong er. He should not forget his duty and responsibility as an emperor regardless of what happened to her.

From what he saw, there were several locations where the fight between the guards and Bei Zhou's soldiers was very heated. It was easy for him to recognize which is Da Qi soldiers and which is Bei Zhou soldiers because the flow of the Qi between both sides are completely different.

One of the factors is the training and the way they cultivate their Qi is differed for each region. Weisheng concentrated his Qi on his palm and connected his palm to the roof. In a flash, the shadows of Bei Zhou soldiers disappeared and merged into Weisheng's shadow.

The Bei Zhou soldiers that lost their shadow dropped to the ground with their eyes lost its color. Da Qi soldiers were dumbstruck by the sudden death of their opponents, yet, they were happy that the obstacles had been brought down.

After ensuring that none of the Bei Zhou soldiers were alive, Weisheng jumped off the 215 ft tower in ease and went off like a wind. He passed the main gate of Royal Palace and entered the city.

He looked around while leaping over the roofs. Then he overheard a conversation between the people in the market. From what he could see, the faces of the people were extremely frightened and the way they kept glancing at their own shadow made him feel guilty.

”How could this happen to us? What did we do wrong to anger the God of Darkness?” a woman said anxiously while hugging her daughter tight in her embrace.

”Don't worry, the sky was cleared and the sun is shining brightly. I'm sure the God of Darkness's wrath had ceased,” an old man with a white beard approached the lady and reassured them.

”B-but what causes this to happen?” the lady replied.

The old man stared at the clear sky and sighed, ”Once, when the God of Darkness lost control of his power, it is because he was lonely. But now, he has the Goddess of Light beside him. Perhaps, something unfortunate happened to the Goddess of Light that causes him to go into a rage.”

Weisheng silently listened to the old man's words. What he felt right now was exactly like what the old man said. The importance of Hong er's presence in his life is too important that he would go berserk if anything happened to her.

Hong er's existence to him is like Sheng Jie's existence to Hei An, they are inseparable even through trials that the creator gave them. Weisheng turned around and continued to search for his wife.

Since she died, Xiao Bai's spirit had been following Weisheng all this long. She was back in her original form, which is a phoenix. No one could see her or detect her presence, including Weisheng.

What caught her ire attention was that Hong er hasn't died yet, but, she couldn't feel an ounce of her life force. If Hong er was dead, Sheng Jie's spirit would come out from Hong er's body just like hers. Yet, she also couldn't find any trace of Sheng Jie's spirit.

She was prohibited to meddle in their trials, this was one of the rules where she promised the Creator when she descends from heaven to earth. He had given her a chance and wouldn't give her for the second time.

She knew it was futile to beg the Creator because he is more strong-headed than Hong er (Sheng Jie). She stared at Weisheng in pity and hoped the best for the two of them.
