Ji Miaoyan met Zhao Mengyao again on the battlefield.

On that day, the Empress of the Great Zhou stood on the city wall, and the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan was at the forefront of the attacking army.

The two looked at each other from a distance.

Ji Miaoyan gritted her teeth, and Zhao Mengyao really looked down on her.

"Your Majesty, run quickly. I can cover your retreat." said a female general beside him.

It was raining that day, and they could have used their spiritual power to drain the rain away, but at this moment Ji Miaoyan's mood had fallen to the bottom.

The cold rain hit the empress's body and slid down her stern face. She found it hard to believe that the situation had turned disadvantageous so quickly.

She said, "Where are the reinforcements?"

The female general said with some trembling: "We were intercepted and killed by the demons in Hanyang Valley. Our entire army was annihilated. There are no reinforcements left."

The young empress's knuckles crackled as she angrily said, "Damn Zhao Mengyao! She actually took advantage of the rainy season and floods in our Great Zhou to launch a surprise attack."

That year, floods swept across much of the Great Zhou territory, leaving many people homeless. Rumors circulated that the floods were man-made, but before the imperial court could investigate, the demons arrived.

"Your Majesty, please leave quickly. If you don't leave now, once the demon army surrounds you, you won't be able to leave even if you want to." The female general said earnestly.

However, Ji Miaoyan just frowned and said, "If I abandon the city and flee, how can I face the people of the Great Zhou?"

The female general sighed helplessly. Her cultivation was actually much higher than that of the young empress, and she knew she had to use a strong approach.

The Great Zhou has been in chaos for too long and cannot afford to lose another emperor.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'm sorry for the offense." She took advantage of Ji Miaoyan's turning around, suddenly jumped up, and knocked the other party down with a palm.

Ji Miaoyan was hit by a huge force and fell to the ground. She only had time to say one sentence: "You are so bold."

Then she heard the female general say sternly: "Someone come and help His Majesty break through." In order to make Ji Miaoyan behave herself, she also used a rope to tie up the young empress.

A group of female soldiers drove Ji Miaoyan away from the city wall.

After all, she was too young and did not possess the abilities that an emperor should have. If it were not for a group of loyal and good people assisting her, she would not even have the chance to sit on the throne.

But the more she tried to prove herself, the more she saw her own embarrassment.

Later she heard that the city had fallen.

After the demon army broke into the city, they massacred the inhabitants for three days, leaving no one alive, young or old, male or female.

"Zhao Mengyao, I'm going to kill you!~"

Ji Miaoyan, lying on the bed, talked in her sleep while unconscious.

Nangong Ruyun, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was a little confused.

"What's going on? What kind of grudge is this?" Aunt Yun was also puzzled when she saw Ji Miaoyan's ferocious face, which looked like she wanted to bite her back teeth to pieces.

Chapter 294 This is clearly a boy

Zhao Kangping and Wan Baiyi walked through many streets while shopping.

He also noticed that he was being followed.

However, on several occasions, he also noticed that the stalkers were killed by a mysterious man.

He used his spiritual sense to observe that the murderer was extremely cruel and the people who were tortured and killed were almost unrecognizable.

The most important thing is that he found something unusual on the murderer.

Zhao Kangping suddenly turned around and flashed to the entrance of an alley.

There happened to be two stalkers there.

The moment they were discovered, the two men ran away, heading deep into the alley.

But after running a few steps, they noticed a man in a black robe and wearing a conical hat in front of them.

The man in black robe raised his head, and his face beneath the hat appeared before the two of them.

It was an ordinary face, but at this moment, the face of the man in the bamboo hat was covered with purple and black veins, which were constantly beating.

It looked a little abnormal, and the two thought he had some infectious disease, so they subconsciously took a step back.

"Wu Laosan, are you still alive?!" One of the followers recognized the man in the bamboo hat.

They were all servants of the Shen family mansion. They didn't know each other well, but they all had some understanding of each other.

This Wu Lao San had lost control of his strength during a sparring match with Miss Shen Lingzhu some time ago, and had injured her. As a result, Miss Shen was furious and had his legs broken, his cultivation crippled, and he was thrown out of the house, leaving him to fend for himself.

But now Wu Laosan could still stand intact, and his condition looked very strange, which made the two people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, I'm still alive, and I want revenge on you." Wu Laosan remembered that many people had attacked him, and he memorized each of their faces. He had originally thought he would die with hatred, but he never expected to be reborn.

He subconsciously pressed it on his chest.

There was a tumor-like bulge there, beating like a heart, continuously replenishing him with endless strength.

With this power, he might even kill Miss Shen who pushed him into the abyss.

Yes, he wanted to kill Miss Shen and the rest of the Shen family. He had gone mad, and only by killing those who had abused him could he feel satisfied.

"I don't have time to chat with you, get out of my way." said another one.

The two of them still thought that the other party was still the same Wu Lao San, who could be bullied by them. They attacked each other together.

However, Wu Laosan was faster. He raised his hand and extended his sharp claws.

But there were other people here, and Zhao Kangping had already noticed the man in the bamboo hat. He must be the murderer of today's murders.

A fierce pressure spread from Zhao Kangping.

The three men who were about to start a fight were all so frightened that their legs went weak and they were unable to move.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Laosan's body exploded.

But strangely, no blood spurted out of Wu Laosan's body, and his internal organs seemed to have been hollowed out.

At the moment of the explosion, a tumor the size of a fist flew out.

Zhao Kangping felt the same aura from the fairy Qin Yue from that thing.

The tumor squirmed, unexpectedly sprouting several tentacles. It seemed to be trying to move towards the nearest person and parasitize a new host.

The two stalkers from the Shen family were terrified. They had never seen such a scene of a human body exploding. And what on earth was that ugly tumor? It looked so disgusting.

Boo!

An arc of electricity flashed, and the tumor was turned into ashes by the electric light before it could regenerate.

Eliminating such a tumorous monster did not give Zhao Kangping any sense of accomplishment. Instead, it aroused his inner worries.

Because this sarcoma gave him a bad feeling.

In the original novel, Aunt Yun couldn't find a way to cure the cold poison, so she listened to the instigation of Fairy Qin Yue and replaced her heart with a burning one.

And that heart is actually just a dirty tumor.

Although it cured Aunt Yun's cold poison, it also completely changed her personality and led her down a wrong path.

From then on, there was no more Ice Fairy in the world, but there was an evil witch.

Although Zhao Kangping had already blasted Qin Yue into pieces, when he saw these ugly tumors with his own eyes, his vigilance was awakened again.

According to the description in the book, before Qin Yue handed the sarcoma to Nangong Ruyun, Qin Yue and the people behind her had previously had many experimental subjects.

Early-stage sarcomas do give the host considerable strength, but they can also cause irreversible damage to the host.

After being infected by the tumor, the host's internal organs will gradually be hollowed out. In a sense, the host is already dead. He has become a walking corpse driven by obsession. Once the tumor leaves the body, he will become a pool of rotten flesh.

After the update and iteration, the damage to the host of the later sarcomas has been greatly reduced. They will not kill the host but will give the host a certain degree of strengthening.

But this wasn't out of generosity on the part of those behind the scenes, but rather their own far-reaching ambitions. They wanted to create a breeding ground suitable for the deities they believed in to descend.

Zhao Kangping still remembers the black hand hiding in the dark. She was called "Mother" and was the mother of those tumors.

Could it be that the [Mother] sent other men to infiltrate River City?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Kangping's expression suddenly became serious.

"You two go to the city guards' base and tell them that the murderer of the murders in this area has been found." He pointed at the unrecognizable corpse on the ground.

Judging from his remaining body parts, he had already transformed into an inhuman being.

The two men were still in shock and didn't dare to say no. They all nodded yes.

"Master, what's going on?" The snake demon girl asked hurriedly when Zhao Kangping walked to the entrance of the alley.

Zhao Kangping was in no mood to go shopping at this moment. He said, "Some scum may have already sneaked into this city. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go back first."

He hadn't even officially become the city lord when these filthy creatures appeared in River City. This was likely not the only case, and he had to find a way to find the source.

……

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Dongfang Jingrou came to him.

"Where have you been? That Miss Qin is here again." Dongfang Jingrou looked at Wan Baiyi beside him.

The housekeeper's face suddenly turned grim.

She probably guessed that Zhao Kangping must have taken this woman out to play. But she herself was still working hard for this man, and she felt a little blocked in her heart.

"Are you talking about Miss Qin from the Qianshang Alliance?"

"Who else could it be? She's waiting in the living room. She brought two people with her today."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Zhao Kangping was a little surprised that they did not return to Fuxian City immediately.

Do they really have to wait until after his succession ceremony before returning?

The little snake demon had a good time strolling outside. She didn't want to bother the man anymore and said, "Master, I'll go back first."

So Zhao Kangping and Wan Baiyi said goodbye.

When he arrived at the reception room, Zhao Kangping saw Qin Lingxuan and another man and woman waiting there.

The man was Liu Fucai, whom I had met before. He came here to discuss in detail the subsequent arrangements for Zhao Kangping's succession ceremony.

The woman had never been seen before.

She wore a white gauze on her face, had a slim figure, and was dressed in a bright yellow dress. She did not wear any expensive jewelry, only an ebony hairpin inserted diagonally in her hair.

"Lord City Lord." The three men saluted Zhao Kangping in unison.

"My three distinguished guests, please don't be polite to me, Zhao." He sat in the main seat, and Dongfang Jingrou, as the housekeeper, stood behind him.

During the reception of the three guests, the newly recruited maids served hot tea and snacks to everyone. It seemed that Dongfang Jingrou's training had been effective. The maids had gradually adapted to their new roles.

After Zhao Kangping exchanged a few quick pleasantries with these people, he got straight to the point.

Qin Lingxuan introduced: "This is Fairy Si Ya, who comes from a family of instrument refiners. She is the most outstanding maker of zither-type magical instruments in the Eastern Region."

"Last time, the Lord City Lord said he wanted a magical instrument called a zither. I really couldn't find one ready-made, but I found Fairy Si Ya."

Unexpectedly, Miss Qin took to heart a small matter that Zhao Kangping mentioned casually, which surprised Zhao Kangping greatly.

In fact, he didn't expect the other party to find a similar magic weapon like the piano.

But Miss Qin could actually help him to this extent.

"It turns out to be Fairy Si Ya. I've heard of her for a long time." Zhao Kangping had actually heard of the fairy's reputation.

She is actually older than Aunt Yun, but her talent is not particularly outstanding, and she is currently only at the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

However, the zither-like magic weapons she made were widely loved by many Taoist monks, and thus she gained considerable fame.

It is said that Fairy Si Ya rarely makes musical instruments for others now, and she has handed over most of the business to her disciples.

But Qin Lingxuan was actually able to invite this big boss, and one has to sigh at the connections of this young lady.

Fairy Si Ya: "Lord City Lord, could you tell me what kind of configuration the precious harp you want should have?"

So Zhao Kangping put forward his request.

After hearing this, Fairy Si Ya said, "It's not too demanding, but I'm afraid the price won't be cheap."

Zhao Kangping: "Spiritual stones are easy to come by. If you need any other materials, I will find a way to get them."

"The other materials are easy. I have most of them, or I have channels to get them. But the only thing I need to do is make the strings. I'll have to trouble the city lord to find them himself."
