Chapter 225: They Were All Destroyed
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Green Guardian walked up to Su Ying, and before she could say anything, he knelt down.
When the others saw him kneel, they followed suit.
Su Ying was speechless. This guy was so sensible?
“Bring me into the palace. 1 want to know every place in the palace.”
“Yes.”
“As for the others, spread out and repair the damaged city. After you’re done, wait for further orders in the training ground.”
“Yes.”
The green-robed man brought Su Ying to the palace. The traces of destruction outside the palace told everyone without any doubt that a fierce battle had taken place here last night.
The two of them entered the hall from the main entrance. As soon as they entered, they saw a spacious hall. In the middle of the hall was a throne inlaid with gems. This should be where Wei Ji often hung around.
The entire palace had a total of six floors. Wei Ji’s sleeping chamber was on the highest floor, occupying an entire floor.
There was a mezzanine level on the sixth floor where the attic was located. This place was a secret chamber. After Wei Ji released the poison gas on her, she hid in this place.
The palace was huge, but there were less than thirty rooms inside. After walking one round, there was nothing unusual in the palace except for the attic.
Su Ying didn’t think that this place was that simple. The entire palace didn’t have any trace of Wei Ji’s past.
After walking one round, Su Ying pulled out a chair and sat down. “How does she usually spend her days?”
The Green Guardian said, “Her Majesty will only get up every day when the sun is high in the sky. After having her meal, she will go and play with her beloved ones or look for two people to play with. If she is not in a good mood, she will fight with anyone.”
“Other than that?”
The green-robed man paused for a moment before continuing, “Occasionally, she will go to the mausoleum of the previous empress.”
“The previous empress?”
“Yes. Those who have been here for a longer time say that Her Majesty snatched the throne from the previous empress.”
Su Ying recalled Tiger Might and the others saying that the Sky Alpha Cult had been around for more than a hundred years, so it wasn’t strange for them to have a previous empress.
She felt that she had too many questions about this place. She wanted to find out what form this place took right in the beginning.
Su Ying’s gaze fell vaguely on the green-robed man. “Take off your face mask.”
The Green Guardian was caught off guard for a moment before obediently taking off his mask.
Su Ying was also stunned when she saw his appearance. He actually looked somewhat similar to the Red Guardian. Perhaps it was because he had been wearing a mask for a long time, but his face was exceptionally fair. It was the kind of fairness that resulted from rarely coming into contact with sunlight. He was fair but unhealthy.
His eyebrows were sparse and his appearance was very clean-cut and delicate. Even though his hands were stained with blood many times, his eyes were still clear, even though they looked a little dull and vacant.
“How did you get here?”
The Green Guardian was stunned. He hadn’t expected Su Ying to ask this question. He frowned slightly as if an image had flashed before his eyes, but it was too fast for him to catch at all.
“I don’t know.”
“In your memory, there is no place other than this place?”
The Green Guardian shook his head. “Mm-hmm.”
“The people here are all like you? Did you bring back all the children on the training ground from outside?”
The Green Guardian nodded. “Yes.”
Su Ying looked at the Green Guardian and suddenly recalled those memories that she had never wanted to reminiscence.
In the icy cold training camp, other than boring training, there was insane slaying every day.
Among people, they were just opponents who could fight each other to the death at any time. Therefore, she would never take the initiative to approach anyone in that godforsaken place. Of course, this was also because she had learned many painful lessons, after which she no longer trusted anyone in the training camp. Otherwise, she would not have been able to come out of that godforsaken place alive.
In this city, all the people in colorful robes were very similar to her past self. They did not have any close contact with each other, and they were not even willing to look at each other. They were probably afraid that the other party would one day become the person who would stab them in the back.
“Why do you guys turn into bloody fluid after you die?”
The green-robed man shook his head. This was a question that they would never think about. “The Empress said that it was a gift to us from the heavens.”
Hah!
Su Ying suddenly felt a little impressed by Wei Ji. This woman had done a great job of brainwashing people.
“Take me to the other places. I want to know every place here.”
“Yes.”
Su Ying followed the green-robed man out of the palace. This place was equivalent to a city. Although there weren’t that many people here, the place was extremely large. Other than the forest used to rear wild beasts, the remaining area was at least the size of a few forests, and this was not including the palace grounds.
However, most of the places were empty land and there was no sign of human habitation because the people here were all gathered around the training ground.
There was not a single normal person here either. In this place, except for those who had not been trained, everyone else was marked with a color tag based on their ability. The brighter the color, the higher the level, and the closer they would be to the palace. The people in dark colors took care of all the menial and laborious chores.
After walking one round, Su Ying became more and more satisfied with this place. Compared to the Tiger Base, the defense system here was of a much higher quality. This was because the city walls here were so high that it was almost impossible for anyone to climb up. Moreover, the walls were extremely thick and solid.
“All of you are here?”
“No. The three Indigo, Blue, and Purple Guardians have led their men to the Tiger Base.”
Su Ying’s eyebrows twitched at once. “When did this happen?”
When he saw Su Ying’s expression change, the Green Guardian hurriedly said, “When you were fighting the Empress.”
Su Ying’s eyes widened as she turned around and ran toward the tunnel.
To think that she was still wandering around leisurely just now when they had already brought people to attack the Tiger Base.
After Su Ying ran out of the tunnel, she shouted at the figure lying lazily not far away, “Kitty, come here!”
When the tiger heard Su Ying’s voice, it sprang up from the ground and gamboled toward her, resigned to its fate.
After the tiger got closer, Su Ying quickly mounted the big cat and rode it toward the Tiger Base.
As Su Ying sprinted to the outskirts of the Tiger Base, she discovered bloodstains all over the ground. Many parts of the defensive walls had been destroyed.
“Damn it! Go in and take a look!”
The tiger brought Su Ying into the Tiger Base. As soon as they entered, they saw someone carrying the injured and running towards the Tiger Base.
“Qiao Yang.”
Su Ying immediately called out to him when she recognized the person.
Qiao Yang thought he was hallucinating. He stopped and turned around to see Su Ying riding a tiger over.
Qiao Yang’s face lit up with joy. “Madam Su! Madam Su is back.”
“Did the Sky Alpha Cult members attack?” Su Ying asked solemnly.
Qiao Yang nodded. “Yes, but don’t worry, Madam Su.. We’ve killed them all!”
