The improved female villains regained their memories.

Whether Jiuwu says it or not is not important. When they come out for lunch, Liu Shaoheng will definitely tell him about it. As the previous villain, that man must know the importance of his visit.

The key lies with Yang Luoyi...

As she was thinking, the door in front of her was suddenly pulled open, and Yang Luoyi walked out.

The mother and daughter saw each other at the same time and were both stunned for a moment.

"..."

Shi Guijia wanted to speak, but the words wouldn't come out.

Yang Luoyi also didn't say anything, just lowered her head and hurried past.

Jiuwu followed her out and saw Shi Guijia. He had his usual gentle smile on his face: "It's okay, don't worry. Practicing forbidden killing moves in time and space is indeed dangerous, but I will keep an eye on her."

He thought that Shi Guijia was coming over, but he was still worried about Yang Luoyi's safety while practicing his killing moves.

"Is that so? That's good... By the way, I need to go to the palace."

"The Imperial Palace?"

"I haven't been able to contact my sister, I have to go to the palace to check on her."

"I see." Jiuwu nodded with a smile. "Then go ahead, I will protect Luoyi."

Shi Guijia suddenly felt like punching the man in the face.

Whether it was because the other person's smile was too irritating or for some other reason, she just wanted to punch them.

Suppressing her increasingly turbulent emotions, Shi Guijia bid farewell to Jiuwu and boarded the [supersonic plane] to head to the palace.

For some reason, her mood was as confused as a fog.

Chapter 351 Fratricide

The undercurrents of the Sixth World had been flowing for a long time.

The sun and moon alternate, time flows forward swiftly, and just like that, two days have passed.

Because the fog even shrouded the imperial city, Shi Guijia had to use lighting artifacts to clear a path. Fortunately, the artifacts worked well, otherwise she would have gone too far and missed her landing spot.

She originally intended to land directly in the imperial city, but considering that she would inevitably be investigated and surrounded by those earth immortals, and then have to face her father again, she landed her magic artifact at the city gate.

She noticed something was wrong as soon as she landed at the city gate.

"Ok?"

It was quiet, so quiet.

The imperial city is different from a small town. It is the largest city and the center of the royal family. In addition, the royal academy of weapon refiners is located here. Even in extreme weather, the city gate would never be this quiet.

The gate is always bustling with people, guards, students experimenting with their magical artifacts, and immortals, no matter the time of day.

But now, it's so quiet it's as if no one lives there.

When Shi Guijia stepped forward, she saw that the city gate was wide open and white fog was billowing inside the city, obscuring its exact appearance.

A strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air, gushing out continuously, making my stomach feel like something was about to churn up.

"!!!"

She dared not delay any longer and immediately summoned the magic artifact [Illumination of the World]. This was a seventh-grade magic artifact that resembled a Kongming lantern. After being infused with spiritual energy, it could dispel blind spots over a wide area, including but not limited to special fog, dark-type killing moves, and so on.

The moment the Kongming lantern rose into the sky, Shi Guijia got a clear view of the entire city.

"This is……"

Her pupils constricted; she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

The once bustling streets have become deathly silent. Those people—no, they can no longer be called human. They are devouring the bodies of other human beings, howling as they gnaw at them. Their rotting skin obscures their original features, and the stench of decay permeates the streets, suffocating everyone.

Throughout the entire imperial city, there were people like this everywhere. Filth and blood were everywhere, and in some places, flowers even grew—flowers from the rotting land.

"What on earth happened here!?"

Shi Guijia was both shocked and furious. She dared not be careless and summoned her flying artifact to fly high in the sky. What surprised her was not the strange changes in the imperial city, but that no immortals came to deal with the strange changes.

Where are the big shots from the weapon-refining academy? Where is the Emperor? Where are those old guys at the Celestial Immortal level?!

She flew straight into the sky above the palace. [Illumination of the World] allowed her to easily see the scenery of the weapon-refining academy and the imperial city—everyone here had turned into monsters, including immortals.

Yes, including immortals.

All the immortals sat together in the square in front of the main hall of the palace, their eyes closed, their bodies stiff, and covered in obvious signs of lividity.

It felt as if her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer; pain swept through her entire body in that instant. She could clearly see that her younger sister, Shi Guiyan, was among these people.

She was wearing a light green dress, her eyes were closed, her face was calm, and lividity had covered her entire body.

"younger sister!"

Shi Guijia's pupils contracted, and in the next instant, she appeared in front of Shi Guiyan and grabbed her shoulder.

"Sister, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she paused.

The spiritual veins within the other person's body were like withered tree branches, devoid of any vitality.

Shi Guiyan, is he dead?

Shi Guijia stared blankly, then raised her hand and placed it under the other person's nose.

There was no spiritual energy circulating, no breathing; it was indeed dead.

Before she could even grieve, countless fluctuations of spiritual energy rippled out from the depths of the palace.

Like a thunderclap in deep space, it stirred up a storm of emotions, impacting her very soul.

Her pupils contracted subconsciously; such chaotic fluctuations of spiritual energy could only exist in one person.

The old emperor.

boom!

A blow from a magical artifact shattered the palace gates. She stepped inside and saw corpses scattered all over the ground, the bodies of the palace ministers. Not far away, on the throne, the source of the chaotic spiritual energy, sat the emperor, his eyes closed, veins bulging, and horrifying lividity covering his entire body.

Shi Guijia was startled. She was about to step forward when she was pushed away by the fluctuation of spiritual energy. In desperation, she could only shout, "Hey, old man, can you hear me?"

Upon hearing Shi Guijia's voice, the emperor's body jolted, and he struggled to open his eyes.

"It's you……"

"How are you? What happened here? Where are the guardians?"

"The main world, the messenger, has abandoned this place; catastrophe is coming..."

"What did you say?"

The spiritual energy surged wave after wave, but Shi Guijia couldn't hear it clearly.

Finally, the emperor could only muster all his strength to shout, "Run!"

"Roar!!!"

Suddenly, the crowd in the square outside erupted in commotion. Shi Guijia turned her head and saw a green aura hovering in the air, refusing to dissipate.

It was as if a drop of ice water had been poured into a frying pan of oil. The group, already in a state of rigor mortis, erupted in a frenzy, rushing in frantically following the smell.

"Old man, what on earth happened here?!"

She roared and asked, only to turn her head and see the emperor, now a corpse, lunging at her.

The emperor's resistance had just reached its limit, and his final words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Damn it!

Shi Guijia cursed angrily and immediately prepared to activate the eighth-grade magic artifact, but before he could activate it, the earth suddenly shook violently.

boom!

The earth was trembling.

A beam of light shot into the sky from the depths of the palace, then slowly dissipated.

The will of the world is disappearing.

As time passed, no one came to fix its problems, and now, catastrophe has fully engulfed it.

The thick fog gathered again, and heavenly fire rained down. The first thing destroyed was the magical artifact that illuminated the world, followed by the entire city.

Shi Guijia's heart skipped a beat.

The ritual to prepare the sacrificial implements, which was originally agreed upon, was not held, which was to be expected, as everyone had been turned into rigors of death by a strange force.

Before she could even think, a zombie had already appeared in front of her, unleashing its spiritual energy.

This is a zombie of Earth Immortal level.

She hurriedly used her magical artifact to defend herself, but was blasted away the next second. To make matters worse, endless heavenly fire had already surrounded the area.

"puff!"

Blood spurted out. She wiped her mouth and looked up, only to realize that it was Shi Guiyan who had knocked her flying.

"Aaaaaaah, you bastard!!"

She roared in grief and anger, but her younger sister had already lost her life and could no longer hear her voice.

Not only her sister, but also all the familiar people—teachers, friends, colleagues—stood in mid-air, surrounding her.

The stench and the acrid smell of the fire assaulted her nostrils, filling her with grief and indignation that she could not express.

Why did it turn out like this?

why.

Her bloodshot eyes scanned the corpses until they met her younger sister's lifeless eyes.

A sharp, intense sensation tore through the space as two Rank 8 magical artifacts floated beside Shi Guiyan. They were her two masterpieces: [Ethereal] and [As Promised].

She has been transformed into a zombie-like puppet, but she still seems to be able to operate magical artifacts.

She wielded two swords and swung them down. Shi Guijia roared and also summoned her magical artifact to defend herself. The three magical artifacts intersected and burst forth with intense turbulence amidst the heavenly fire.
