Chapter 696: Abnormality
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing Daoist Yun Guan leave with his disciples, no one dared to stop him.
Xia Bingguang looked at Liu Sanniang anxiously and said with difficulty, “Find, find the empress…”
Xia Bingguang’s mouth and throat were still numb and uncomfortable. He stammered. What Daoist Yun Guan said was equivalent to pushing Liu Sanniang into the center of the storm.
Xia Bingguang had never thought of asking Liu Sanniang to sacrifice anything. This was not Liu Sanniang’s fault at all.
The sudden collapse of Star Reaching Tower had something to do with the Cloud Breaking Sect. The construction of Star Reaching Tower was suggested by the people of the Cloud Breaking Sect to nurture a dragon vein to protect the Xia Dynasty. Although Liu Sanniang had a grudge against the Cloud Breaking Sect, there was no grudge between the Xia Dynasty and the Cloud Breaking Sect.
Many people worshiped in the Daoist temples built by the Cloud Breaking Sect. If the Cloud Breaking Sect ignored the life and death of the people because of their grudge with Liu Sanniang, they were the sinners.
Xian Fei held Xia Bingguang. “Your Majesty, don’t be anxious. There will definitely be a way.”
The real empress was still alive. It might not be easy to find her, but now that the fake one was dead, didn’t the real empress want to come back?
Looking at the ruins, Xian Fei’s heart felt heavy.
She couldn’t help but look at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. Liu Sanniang was still looking at the ruins of Star Reaching Tower. No one knew what was on her mind.
Chu Yan stood quietly beside Liu Sanniang. If one did not deliberately pay attention to him, they would not even feel his existence.
Xia Hongming entered the palace. He frowned and bowed to Xia Bingguang. “Father, don’t worry. I’ll definitely think of a way to solve the crisis.”
Xia Bingguang looked at Xia Hongming and nodded. He pointed at Liu Sanniang.
Xia Hongming glanced at Liu Sanniang and said, “I’ll do my best to cooperate with Miss Liu.”
Xia Bingguang nodded in relief. It was difficult for him to even speak now, and he couldn’t even stand. Naturally, he could only leave this matter to the crown prince, Xia Hongming.
He was worried, but there was nothing he could do.
Liu Sanniang suddenly looked at Xia Bingguang and said, “Your Majesty, 1 want to use a drop of your blood.”
Star Reaching Tower seemed to be shrouded by something. It looked like Star Reaching Tower had collapsed and was pressing down on the lifeline of the country.
She had a strong intuition that there was something else she did not see.
Xia Bingguang reached out his hand. He could give Liu Sanniang a bowl of his blood, let alone a drop.
Liu Sanniang gently raised her hand, and a drop of blood jumped out of Xia Bingguang’s finger. The drop of blood slowly arrived in front of Liu Sanniang. Liu Sanniang released her power, and a faint golden color gradually enveloped the drop of blood.
Liu Sanniang flicked her finger and the blood shot into the ruins of Star Reaching Tower. Immediately, muffled roars came from the ruins.
When the palace servants heard the roar, their expressions changed and they exclaimed, “Dragon, it’s dragon roar.”
Xia Bingguang instantly felt a sharp pain in his heart. His face was pale and it was very scary.
Xian Fei and the others looked worried. “Your A/lajesty, what’s wrong?”
Xia Hongming looked at Liu Sanniang anxiously. “Miss Liu, what happened to my father?”
Liu Sanniang raised her hands, and a thick power surrounded her. As her hands moved, the seal became stronger and stronger.
She gave the seal a light push and a strong wind blew towards the ruins of the Star Reaching Tower.
The roar became more and more clear.
The seal swept up the ruins of Star Reaching Tower, causing a lot of black smoke to gush out and form a strange symbol.
It was four dots connected by a line. One of them had already been lit up, flickering like a star in the sky.
Xia Hongming couldn’t help but ask in shock, “What, what is this? Why is it under Star Reaching Tower.”
Liu Sanniang said, “It’s an annihlation array. The flickering dot represents the Xia Dynasty. The activation of this array will mean the destruction of the world.”
Xia Hongming frowned. He felt that this was beyond his understanding.
What annihilation array? Who did this? Who had the ability to do this??
Xia Hongming did know who set up this array, but he knew that this array was aimed at killing everyone in the world. How many lives were there in this world? Just thinking about it made his hair stand on end.
The symbol had gradually faded and dissipated. Liu Sanniang looked up at the sky. Countless threads of black smoke covered the entire sky like a spiderweb.
Xia Hongming looked up curiously. The sky was so black that it looked like a hallucination. When he took a closer look, it was gone. “W-What is that?”
Liu Sanniang retracted her gaze and said calmly, “It’s evil. Yin and Yang are imbalanced.”
For some reason, Xia Hongming felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He gulped. “Why is this happening?”
Liu Sanniang’s expression was cold. “He cultivates the Dao of Life and Death.
He will kill everyone and then replace everyone.”
Xia Hongming shivered. “Then what can we do?”
Many mortals did not know anything about mystic world in their lives. They worked hard just to get by. No one should be killed wantonly, let alone being used as sacrifices.
Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Kill him. He destroys and I save. I am his nemesis.”
Xia Hongming took a deep breath. “Miss Liu, the Xia Dynasty will do everything to assist you.”
Xia Bingguang’s body swayed as he said with difficulty, “Did the Cloud Breaking Sect lie to me?”
Xia Bingguang looked at Liu Sanniang, waiting for an answer eagerly.
When Star Reaching Tower collapsed, he seemed to have aged ten years. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.
Xia Bingguang reached out his hand shakily. “Can, can you read my mind?”
Xia Bingguang hoped that Liu Sanniang could give him an answer.
Xian Fei held Xia Bingguang and said worriedly, “Your Majesty, don’t be anxious. Take it slow.”
Liu Sanniang grabbed Xia Bingguang’s wrist and released her power. Xia Bingguang slowly closed his eyes.
He opened his heart to Liu Sanniang, hoping that Liu Sanniang could find the answer as soon as possible.
Liu Sanniang used her power to bring Xia Bingguang back to his memories.
Xu Bo and Xu Yue came from the Cloud Breaking Sect. With them joining the imperial court as State Ministers, Xia Bingguang was extremely relieved..
