Chapter 585: Langyue Palace Altar
Xiao Ying has always believed in his intuition since he was a child, when the airship came over the northwestern wilderness.
All you can see is the vast loess plateau, with no grass growing and an indescribable desolation.
"What is that?"
The airship circled over the wasteland for a long time. Xiao Ying saw a lot of scattered iron pieces on the wasteland through the airship.
Those pieces of iron look particularly familiar.
When the secret guard heard His Majesty's question, he immediately raised his telescope to observe carefully.
After a long while, he replied, "Your Majesty, those are probably shrapnel."
Xiao Ying raised his eyebrows and remained silent, observing the wasteland carefully.
The more I observed, the more frightened I became. I felt like blowing this place up.
She touched her heart gently, took a deep breath and without hesitation, "Aim at the fragments and fire."
"Yes."
The secret guards took orders, and soon rumbling sounds were heard across the wasteland.
Qianqian was very excited when he heard the noise, [Tongzi, can you eat the melon? ]
system……
[Not for the time being, but you should take care of yourself first. ]
[Ahem, someone is here to take you to the altar. ]
Money money...
[Haha, it’s okay. No one can hurt me anyway.]
[Didn't you say that my blood is necessary for the heart-digging game to succeed? ]
Before the system could speak, Qianqian felt himself being thrown onto a wooden board.
[Hiss, can't these bastards be a little gentler? ]
As he spoke, he secretly opened his eyes.
Seeing several men in white lifting up the wooden board, Qian Qian would steal a few glances from time to time as he was carried by the men in white.
[Tongzi, what do these people want to do? ]
The system smiled bitterly, [Qianqian, these young people are orphans raised by Langyue Palace.]
[They don’t have their own thoughts, let alone curiosity. I can’t eat other melons. ]
[All we know is that these children who were raised as pets are beyond help.]
[They only follow orders from the Langyue Palace and have no awareness of their own, let alone their own opinions.]
Money money...
Sighing softly, [What a sin. ]
At the same time, a wave of intensive bombing ended.
When the smoke from the wilderness dissipated, Xiao Ying finally saw the underground city hidden in the wilderness.
She squinted at the sloppily laid out, eerie green house.
After thinking for a while, he heard the voice of the secret guard, "Your Majesty," the secret guard pointed in a direction, "There are many cannon barrels rising from the ground over there."
Xiao Ying turned his head and sneered, "They all exploded."
"Yes."
A new round of bombing sounded, and Xiao Ying's airship shells were unceremoniously fired.
This was the first time that the people in Langyue Palace were attacked for no reason, and the bombing was so intensive.
Many people saw the huge bright yellow airship clearly. Zhou Mu finally panicked, "Let everyone go to the altar and protect it."
"Yes."
Everyone in Langyue Palace started to move, and the Western white devils they invited were shouting in the panicked crowd.
Zhou Mu was a little annoyed by the shouting, and ordered the young men in white clothes around him, "Kill all those white devils."
The young men in white had no expression on their faces and immediately followed Zhou Mu's orders.
Some of Zhou Mu's confidants wanted to persuade them, but their voices were silenced by the waves of bombing.
No, how many shells are on that bright yellow airship?
It’s not over yet…
The man in white who was carrying Qian Qian finally stopped. Qian Qian stopped pretending and just looked around.
But it was pitch black all around, and nothing could be seen except the faint candlelight.
[Tongzi, where is this? ]
The system pondered, [The altar of Langyue Palace is the altar where they designed the heart-digging scheme. ]
[Altar?]
Qian Qian turned his neck and tried to stand up, but he was too weak to do so. [No, I am not the only one on the altar?]
The system sighed, [Qianqian, you need to be prepared.]
[The people from Langyue Palace captured the Spacetime Law Enforcement Team and intended to threaten you, and wanted you to volunteer to give blood.]
Money money...
【what? 】
[She was shocked. No, aren’t Li Hao and the others in Japanese City? ]
[Uh,] the system explained, [Li Hao, Lin Feng, and Fang Ziqi were plotted against by the Westerners in the Japanese city.]
[As for Lin Yue and the others, they were captured by the people of Langyue Palace using the evil dragon eggs in various places in Daxia.]
[Dragon egg? So,]
Before I could ask any questions in my heart, I heard the sound of dense footsteps.
Qian Qian dragged his weak body and sat cross-legged with difficulty.
The candles in the dim room lit up one by one, and Qian Qian saw an old, still handsome, but unfamiliar face.
The system immediately explained, [This person is Zhou Mu, the head of Langyue Palace.]
[Ah, don't worry, I don't know him at all. ]
[Well,] the system was confused, [It’s not like I don’t know him at all, after all, Zhou Mu hadn’t established Langyue Palace yet.]
【When he was a child, he grew up in Jishidiang. 】
Money money...
[This is an ungrateful, white-eyed wolf. ]
[Yes,] the system sneered, [Back then, Feng Qingqing had treated his illness. If it weren't for Feng Qingqing, this kid probably wouldn't have lived to this age.]
Qian Qian sighed lightly and looked at the young men in white who were protecting Zhou Mu.
【These children, they too? 】
[Yes,] the system was angry and helpless, [These people have been trained by Zhou Mu to be the most obedient tools.]
[They don't listen to anyone except Zhou Mu.]
[Also, Qianqian, these boys have no five senses and no sense of pain. ]
[They really are already a group of monsters. ]
Qian Qian frowned and snorted, "You are Zhou Mu?"
"If I remember correctly, you grew up in Jishidiang, right?"
"Feng Qingqing once treated your illness. I never thought she would save such an ungrateful person."
Zhou Mu raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her who had white hair but still a youthful and energetic face. She looked a little embarrassed at the moment.
The face, which was still pretty even at her age, was stained with some dirt and her hair was a little messy.
Due to the influence of the Western Dragon, he looked powerless but his momentum remained undiminished when he sat cross-legged.
Is this the emperor?
Is this the first empress of Xiagou?
Zhou Mu's eyes were complicated, full of jealousy and yearning, "How do you know about me?"
He turned around and knocked on the wall beside him.
Qian Qian heard a rumbling sound behind him. He turned his head with some difficulty and saw that the stone wall that was originally tightly closed was opened from both sides.
Through the open stone wall, you can see a cramped stone chamber.
The stone chamber was filled with a pentagram-shaped altar, and there was a stone pillar at each of the five corners of the pentagram.
Li Hao, Fang Ziqi, Lin Feng, Lin Yue and... were tied to the five stone pillars.
【Xiao Hei? 】
Qianqian was shocked, [No, Tongzi, how many years has it been? ]
[I am over 70 this year, right? ]
[Yes, but Xiao Hei is still alive? ]
The system comforted, [Ouch, don't be surprised. ]
[Have you forgotten that you and Yunshu had contacted each other through Xiao Hei before? ]
Money money...
[When? ]
[That was when we were still in the snowy mountains. ]
The system prompts and patiently explains, [At that time, Xiao Hei had a connection with Paradise, and it also absorbed some of Paradise's energy. ]
[It is considered a half-spiritual beast, so its lifespan is much longer than that of an ordinary cat. 】
[Alas,] the system sighed, [What a pity, how much health can a cat have? ]
[Our Xiao Hei is in danger. ]
Qian Qian's chest heaved, and he was so grief-stricken and angry that he fainted.
