Chapter 269 Emperor Yulin
Chapter 269 Emperor Yulin
"Can you please hurry up? I've already informed my master and I can leave at any time."
Li Nian thought for a moment, raised his hand and sent a message to Ye Zhanying, and then said to him
"Go now. The longer the ancient evil spirit infects us, the more our original power will be lost."
Yanzhou's eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes were gentle as water, and he said solemnly, "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."
Li Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, summoned the chasing light and flew up, chuckling, "Let's go quickly, don't waste time."
The sunlight shone between her eyebrows, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the jumping spots of light made her look particularly bright and warm.
She was like this when Yanzhou first met her, and it has never changed.
Looking at the two people's backs as they walked away, Su Yu clenched his hands hanging by his side, and the bulging blue veins on the back of his hands showed his inner turmoil.
He stood quietly, the corners of his upturned eyes slightly red, as if soaked in blood.
Inside the Yu Dynasty Palace.
The magnificent lintel is carved with exquisite patterns, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.
A man in a black dragon robe stood in the hall. He had a resolute and handsome face, faintly revealing an imperial aura. Even the white hair on his temples was not a bit diminished.
His brows were deep and sharp, but at this moment, Yu Lin, the current ruler of Yu Dynasty, had his eyes fixed solemnly on the couch.
"Is there really no solution? How can I watch my wife die?" he said sadly.
The Beast Taming Sect was the sect that supported Yu Chao. They were very ashamed that such a thing happened right under their noses, but there was nothing they could do.
Elder Jie Qing looked at the emperor's grief-stricken face and gave a bitter laugh. He spoke in a low, helpless voice, "Emperor Yulin, even a cultivator infected by the disease would have no chance of survival, let alone a mortal without any cultivation."
Mo Junran and Yu Feichen stood behind Jie Qing, frustration clearly visible on their faces. They were ordered to stay inside the palace.
However, she didn't even know that the ancient demonic energy had entered the palace, which almost caused Emperor Yulin's dragon energy to be taken away and even caused her wife to be infected.
Emperor Yulin's resolute face froze, his brows were tightly furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, his eyes were full of grief, but his straight back did not bend at all.
He is the backbone of the Yu Dynasty. If he falls, the next to suffer will be his millions of people.
He walked to the bed, where his wife lay. Her face was pale, without a trace of blood, and her eyes, which used to look at her tenderly, were now closed.
"Qu Ru, I was supposed to protect you, but I broke all my promises."
The curtains hung low, the gauze swayed gently, and the candlelight in the hall was bright. Yu Lin rested his forehead on the woman's cold hand and shed tears silently.
Jie Qing shook his head, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. The emperor and empress knew each other and loved each other, but now the emperor and empress were dying, how could he not be sad?
After several people left the hall, Yu Feichen's chubby face wrinkled together and he frowned tightly. He reached out and tugged at Jie Qing's sleeve.
"Master, is there really no way? Even if we can't separate the ancient evil spirit, we can use secret methods to seal it."
The young man looked dejected. He thought of all the ways and asked tentatively:
Jie Qing paused, looking at his young disciple with gentle eyes, "Fei Chen, if the ancient demonic energy was so easy to seal, the world of cultivation wouldn't be in this state today."
Yu Feichen curled his lips, moved them unwillingly, but then closed them again.
After a long silence, Mo Junran lifted his robe and knelt down, his handsome face full of guilt.
"Master, I failed to detect the situation in time, which led to the infection of Empress Yuchao. It is my fault."
Jie Qing frowned, reached out to help Mo Junran up, patted his shoulder, looked at him with dignity but gentleness, and said comfortingly
"Juan Ran, the demons are colluding with the ancient demonic energy. Even if I were here, I might not be able to stop it. This is not your fault."
Mo Junran was slightly startled, his expression still annoyed, "Master, I..."
"Since it has happened, it is meaningless to dwell on who is at fault. The right thing to do now is to guard this place well," said Jie Qing.
Yu Feichen bit her lower lip, looked at the two of them with her round eyes, but thought of Li Nian's figure in her heart.
If she were here, there should be a way, right?
After Yanzhou and Li Nian arrived at the territory of Yu Dynasty, they went straight to the palace without delaying for a moment.
As they were about to step into the palace entrance, a dozen disciples in yellow sect robes held long swords, pointed their swords at them, and shouted angrily:
"Who is trespassing?"
Yanzhou raised his eyelids and looked at them. They were disciples of the Beast Taming Sect. Then he put away the spirit sword in his hand and replied
"Yanzhou, the prince of the Yu Dynasty."
When the leading disciple of the Beast Taming Sect saw the token in Yanzhou's hand, he raised his hand slightly, signaling them to put down their swords, and then looked at Li Nian with sharp eyes.
Li Nian stared at them, his brows calm, "Tian Yan clan's heir, Li Nian."
The disciple was startled. After making sure that the two were the same, he ordered all the disciples to step back. He clasped his fists and said in a deep voice:
"Sorry, in order to guard against the demons these days, we have been strictly checking everyone who enters the palace."
Li Nian smiled faintly at the few people, then followed Yanzhou into the palace together.
The two walked along the palace road, crossing the winding corridor bridge, sometimes shrouded in the shade of trees, and sometimes falling into the bright sunshine.
However, neither of them was in the mood to stay, so they walked very quickly and arrived at the door of the bedroom in less than half a minute.
At this time, there were several palace maids standing outside the hall. Yanzhou had a stern expression. When he heard the painful groans coming from inside the hall, he almost ran into the inner hall.
Li Nian frowned and followed closely, stepped through the palace door, passed through a long corridor, and walked around another door before entering the inner hall.
As soon as she entered the palace, she saw the legendary Emperor Yulin.
Turning his eyes, he saw Elder Jie Qing and others as expected. Yu Feichen's eyes suddenly lit up and he ran over to grab Li Nian.
"Li Nian, you're here."
Li Nian nodded to them and walked quickly to the bed. Yanzhou held the woman's hand tightly. The boy's eyes were red and his voice choked.
"Mother, it's my fault. No one is here to protect you..."
Qu Ru is the queen mother of Yu Dynasty.
Tears slid down her pale face. She used all her strength to touch Yanzhou's face, and forced a smile with trembling lips.
"Don't cry, Zhou'er——"
Strange black lines gradually climbed up her face, and the black lines rampaged in her body, turning her body upside down. She suddenly lost her voice in pain.
Li Nian's heart skipped a beat, and he pushed away Emperor Yulin and Yanzhou who were sitting there in a daze.
"Get out of the way." The situation was urgent and she had no time to explain.
The power of chaos condensed at the fingertips, and the bright white light lingered at the fingertips. Li Nian lightly tapped her brow with two fingers.
After being brushed away, Emperor Yulin subconsciously wanted to rush back, but was held back by Yanzhou.
"Father, this is my fellow disciple. Let her try. Only she can save mother."
