Nine Regions Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 161 The Royal Palace and Castle
White Tiger Marshal's Mansion.

Two black shadows rushed in from a hidden place like ghosts, avoiding everyone's eyes.

Entering the White Tiger Marshal's Mansion, two figures came directly to a secret room and took off their black robes one after another. It turned out to be Chen Zhan and Mo Fengping, and they actually assassinated Han Zhan.

"Damn it, I didn't expect that old man Han Zhan to have completely dissipated the poison from his corpse and increased his strength so much that he could hide it from everyone." Mo Fengping angrily slapped the black hat on the table.

He is the fifth marshal of Tianyun Kingdom, while Han Zhan is the fourth marshal. Apart from the Azure Dragon Army, which is in charge of the royal family, Marshal Chen Zhan of the White Tiger and Marshal Gu Changqiu of the Suzaku are both Yuanwu ninth level warriors.

And he and Han Zhan are at the peak of Yuanwu Bazhong. Obviously, he wants to win the position of fourth marshal of Han Zhan.

However, now that Han Zhan has broken through to the ninth level of Yuanwu, it will be extremely difficult for him to assassinate him in the future.

Chen Zhan's face was extremely gloomy, like an ice cellar, about to drip water, "If you fail to kill Han Zhan today, it will be even more difficult to assassinate him in the future. Han Zhan is really fate."

Mo Fengping slammed the table angrily, and said angrily: "Are you going to let him go like this? You know, he is not from our camp."

Chen Zhan's eyes turned, and he said in a deep voice: "Recently, our attitude will definitely arouse Long Aotian's awareness. Fortunately, he is still focusing on the Imperial City Academy and the New Martial Soul Masters Association, but sooner or later he will stare at us. We are running out of time, we can no longer focus on Han Zhan, besides, if the assassination failed today, Han Zhan will be more vigilant, no matter how difficult it is to find a chance to strike."

Although unwilling, Mo Fengping did not insist, he said in a concentrated voice: "Then what shall we do next?"

The corners of Chen Zhan's mouth grinned slightly, and his eyes sparkled, "Now the imperial city has been secretly discussing the treason of Marshal Mo ten years ago, we continue to spread suspicious details back then, and we must make the people think that Marshal Mo was murdered by the royal family, and a conspiracy is brewing." At the same time, the focus is on Mo Chen, now, it is time to wait for the opportunity to kill."

"It's time to act." Mo Fengping also had a smirk, and at the same time, he was yearning.

Chen Zhan got up, put his hands on his back, looked out the window with a murmured expression, the autumn wind was rustling, and there was a sense of sadness, "Ten years, it's time to start."

……

Royal Palace.

The old emperor Long Xiao's bedroom.

The old emperor lay peacefully on the dragon bed, his expression pale as ice, much weaker than last time, as if he would close his eyes and leave at any moment.

Long Aotian looked at the old emperor with guilt, "Father, it is the child who is incompetent. I can only watch you getting weaker and weaker, but there is nothing I can do."

"It's no wonder you. My body is dying. I'm afraid the days are running out. In the future, the Sky Cloud Kingdom will depend on you." Long Xiao said calmly.

Long Aotian knelt down abruptly, and said solemnly: "Father, don't worry, as long as my son is still alive, Tianyun Kingdom will not be defeated."

With a gratified smile on Long Xiao's face, he couldn't help asking, "Any news about Xinxue?"

Long Aotian shook his head and said: "I have sent people to search the whole city, but there is no trace of Jiumei."

Long Xiao obviously sighed, and said softly: "We must find Xinxue. With her help, I will feel much more at ease. She is, after all, a member of the royal family. You must try to get her support."

Long Aotian's eyes flickered slightly. He knew that in the heart of the old emperor, Long Xinxue was his most important son and daughter. However, as Long Xinxue was a daughter, he had to value Long Aotian.

"I understand." Long Aotian said casually. In his heart, he didn't care that much, so he didn't believe it. Without Long Xinxue, he couldn't manage Tianyun Kingdom well.

Long Xiao also seemed to see Long Aotian's casualness, sighed lightly, and then asked: "How is today's ending?"

Long Aotian's expression returned to normal, and he said calmly: "Ye Qianzhong really chose Mo Chen, and replaced Ren Tianye and the Imperial City Academy with Mo Chen. This is a desperate situation. Moreover, behind Jiang Long and Mu Fa, there is indeed Mo Chen. , I used Mo Zining's life to let Mo Chen not only suppress the Imperial City Academy, but also suppress Jianglong's new Wuhun Masters Guild."

"One month later, the Imperial City Academy and Jianglong's New Martial Soul Masters Guild will all become belongings of the royal family, and Mo Chen will become a stepping stone for our actions."

Long Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and said, "You must not be careless. After so many years of planning, you must not fall by the wayside."

Long Aotian said seriously: "Father, don't worry, Mr. Yi and I are already familiar with Mo Chen's tricks. In the last month, I will let Mr. Yi train me against Mo Chen's tricks. This battle will only win. "

Long Xiao smiled gratifiedly. What he valued most about Long Aotian was his carefulness. He would never be too inflated at any time, and he would be extremely sure of everything.

"It's so good." Long Xiao struggled to start from Longtao, and murmured, "Help me up, take me to meet her."

she?
Long Aotian's expression obviously changed for a moment, he hurriedly supported the old emperor, and said worriedly: "Father, you are weak, you should rest more."

Long Xiao shook his head and said, "It's because I'm weak and I don't have much time, so I want to see her even more. After all, she is my own sister."

Long Aotian stopped talking, helped Long Xiao up, and walked out of the bedroom.

The two of them came to the depths of the imperial palace, and came straight to a black castle. The castle was extremely magnificent, comparable to a palace for court affairs. However, the huge castle revealed a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, as if there would never be a sun. The castle is all made of black iron, which is extremely hard, giving people a sense of heaviness and despair.

Around the black castle, there are countless imperial guards in charge, and when Long Xiao and Long Aotian arrived, several Yuanwu experts came out from the darkness and saluted respectfully.

No one knows who lives in this black castle, and no one knows how much power is hidden outside this black castle.

I'm afraid even if King Wu wanted to enter the castle, it would not be an easy task.

Crunch!

A thick voice came, and the castle was slowly opened. Inside the castle, there was a dark passage, which made it impossible to see the end, as if there was no end in the first place.

"You should wait for me here." Long Xiao said weakly, signaling Long Aotian to stop.

"Father, pay attention to your body." Long Aotian said with concern.

Every time the old emperor came out from here, he was very sad. Now, the old emperor's body is not as good as before, and he is afraid of accidents.

Dragging his heavy body, the old emperor walked slowly into the castle and disappeared into the darkness.

At the end of the dark passage, the old emperor opened the dark room, and the candle light came out in a flash, making it difficult for the dark castle to have a ray of light.

However, when the old emperor entered the secret room, the light disappeared instantly.

Looking at the end, Long Aotian slowly withdrew his gaze, signaling those Yuanwu guards around to retreat, while he was waiting outside the castle.

Inside the castle was an extremely wide open space, surrounded by countless fire pillars, and in the middle, there was only a bluestone jade bed, and on that jade bed lay a woman dressed in white.

The woman lay peacefully on the jade bed, her eyes were slightly closed, without any movement, even the old emperor came in, there was no movement at all, if people who didn't know it, they would probably think she was dead.

"Shi Ling."

The old emperor came to the jade bed, sat weakly by the edge of the bed, and looked at the woman on the jade bed with complicated eyes.

The woman on the jade bed is Long Xiao's own sister, Long Shiling who was once named Princess Yunping of Tianyun Kingdom by Long Xiao.

Long Shiling is more than thirty years old, but the years have not left many marks on her face. Her white skin is as white as jade, and her delicate face is matched with that white dress. .

Long Shiling did not open her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep.

"I know, you still haven't forgotten him, but there is absolutely no possibility between you, there will be no result." Long Xiao knew that Long Shiling could hear him, so he said softly to himself.

As soon as these words came out, Long Shiling gently opened his eyes, but those eyes that were supposed to be agile did not have the slightest color, but instead exuded a dead gray color of disappointment in this world.

"Do you think it's still useful to say this now?" Long Shiling spoke, her calm words were also devoid of any emotion, just like a narration.

A smile appeared on Long Xiao's pale face, "It's been ten years, and you're finally willing to talk to me."

"Do you know, you have lived in this castle for the past ten years, how painful is my heart? You are my favorite sister, but I imprison you here with my own hands. This kind of pain is heart-piercing Split lung."

A wave flashed across Long Shiling's eyes, but it dissipated instantly, as if there was hardly anything in this world that could cause him waves.

"why?"

Long Shiling said suddenly.

Under Long Xiao's slightly suspicious eyes, she continued: "Why break us up, why do you want to harm Zhenshan, why do you want to kill him."

A series of three questions seems to contain a lot of information.

Ten years ago, Long Shiling fell in love with Mo Zhenshan, and Mo Zhenshan was framed and killed by the royal family?

Long Xiao smiled bitterly, "I didn't kill Mo Zhenshan, nor did I frame him. There are some things that you don't even know about. Do you know why I got this strange disease? Not long after Mo Zhenshan came to Tianyun Kingdom, I got this weird disease."

Long Shiling's eyes were filled with shock for the first time, then she shook her head and said firmly: "No, Zhenshan can't harm you, you are just making excuses for what you did ten years ago."

"Zhenshan opened up the territory for you, guarded the Tianyun Kingdom for you, guarded the border, and defended the peace of the Tianyun Kingdom. It is impossible for him to betray the Tianyun Kingdom. It is you who are afraid of his great achievements. It is you who think he is worthy If you don't love me, you want to break us up, so you framed him ten years ago and wanted to get rid of him."

"He's really not good enough for you... Cough cough..." Long Xiao seemed a little excited, and couldn't help coughing violently, unexpectedly, he spurted out a lot of blood.

A trace of concern flashed across Long Shiling's expression, and he wanted to get up, but in the end, he still didn't get up.

She couldn't forget the scenes ten years ago. She and Mo Zhenshan were in love with each other, and they hit it off. Her imperial brother, not only did not agree, but forcibly separated her and Mo Zhenshan and put her under house arrest.

Afterwards, Mo Zhenshan was accused of treason from Tianyun Kingdom, and she angrily approached Long Xiao, who ruthlessly gave her a sentence that she would never forget in her life: Mo Zhenshan, damn it!
At that moment, she was heartbroken and had nothing to love in life. She wanted to die for love, but was stopped by Long Xiao, and then she was imprisoned in this castle.

It's been ten years.

She will never forget, never forget Long Xiao's ruthlessness, never forget Mo Zhenshan's figure.

In the past ten years, although she was alive, her heart was already dead.
