“Sorcerer Queen! You’re awake!” Li Ruo was overjoyed and revealed a relieved smile.
Hong Luan also looked at the Sorcerer Queen happily. Seeing that she was really awake, she quickly turned to the Great Sorcerer at the side and said, “Sir, please take another look at the Sorcerer Queen.”
The Great Sorcerer was really exhausted. Not only did he use his medical skills to treat the Sorcerer Queen, but he also exhausted a lot of healing-type sorcery power. Not to mention going over to take a look, he couldn’t even breathe, okay?
He took a while to recover before the other two maidservants helped him down to the bed. He carefully checked the Sorcerer Queen’s condition and said weakly, “For the time being… her life is not in danger.” However, it was unlikely that she would be the same as last time.
He did not say this.
Li Ruo said, “You guys help the sorcerer down to rest first.”
“Yes.” The maidservants helped the Great Sorcerer to the side hall next door. The Sorcerer Queen was still bedridden. He needed to wait for the Sorcerer Queen’s summons at any time and could not leave the palace.
Hong Luan served the Sorcerer Queen a cup of hot tea. The Sorcerer Queen waved her hand indifferently and said weakly, “Help me up.”
Hong Luan put down her teacup and helped the Sorcerer Queen sit up with Li Ruo. Hong Luan carefully took a pillow and placed it behind the Sorcerer Queen.
The Sorcerer Queen was no longer as glamorous as before, nor was she as domineering as before. Her face was haggard and bloodless, and the thin lines at the corners of her eyes seemed to have increased.
Hong Luan and Li Ruo only took a look before hurriedly lowering their heads.
The Sorcerer Queen knew that her current situation was very bad without asking, but she couldn’t care less. She closed her eyes and said, “How long was I unconscious?”
“Almost a day and a night,” Li Ruo said.
They had discovered the Sorcerer Queen in the afternoon. After that, the Sorcerer Queen had been unconscious until dawn.
The Sorcerer Queen had never been in such a sorry state. When she thought of how she had been repeatedly abused and how she had lost so much face in front of a group of guards, she was furious!
“What about those people?” She gritted her teeth and asked.
“It’s all been dealt with,” Li Ruo said.
Hong Luan glanced at Li Ruo. Who did she deal with? That group of ignorant guards? She accidentally frowned in agreement.
The Sorcerer Queen did not hold her fist for long before she let go. She asked, “Where’s the hostage?”
“Hostages…” Li Ruo glanced at Hong Luan, as if blaming her for not cooperating with her to search for the hostages, causing them to escape.
“They’re no longer in the palace.”
“They’re all gone?” The Sorcerer Queen’s eyes turned cold.
Li Ruo lowered her head and said, “Yes, Sorcerer Queen. I searched the palace but couldn’t find them. I guess they’ve already left the palace. Speaking of which, Hong Luan, didn’t you suspect that they went to the Wen Manor back then? How’s your investigation going?”
Hong Luan only strolled around the Wen Manor and did not enter at all.
Hong Luan said calmly, “I didn’t say it has anything to do with the Wen Manor.
I’m talking about Lord Wen Xu. He’s interacted with that woman for so long. Perhaps he can think of some clues.”
“Hmph.” Li Ruo turned her face away. “That’s clearly not what you said at that time.”
Hong Luan said, “Why didn’t I say that? You’ve heard it wrongly.”
“Enough!” The Sorcerer Queen had a headache and shouted at the two of them to stop.
Li Ruo glared at Hong Luan imperceptibly. Hong Luan ignored her and said seriously, “There’s one more thing I have to report to the Sorcerer Queen.”
“What is it?” The Sorcerer Queen asked.
“The Martial Rakshasas are injured,” Hong Luan said.
A trace of disbelief flashed across the Sorcerer Queen’s eyes. “The Martial
Rakshasas were actually injured? Who did it?”
Li Ruo also looked at Hong Luan. It was obvious that she was only concerned about arresting people and had neglected to investigate the incident.
Hong Luan thought for a while and said, “According to the Martial Rakshasas, it was that woman.”
The Sorcerer Queen said thoughtfully, “She doesn’t look like she has martial arts…”
This was also what surprised Hong Luan. She said, “According to one of the
Martial Rakshasas, that woman is a Saint King. However, for some reason, the Saint King aura on her body is sometimes absent. I must guess that she’s wearing a treasure that suppresses the Saint King aura.”
Obviously, the Martial Rakshasa, who was ranked fourth, had recognized Little Sly Jiang as Yu Wan on the street. As for one with a stomach and the other without, he was only concerned about catching people at that time. Why would he study a woman’s stomach?
Therefore, even Hong Luan thought that the female hostage first appeared in the city before strolling out of the city. Then, she was captured by the captain from the other villages.
If the other party was a Saint King at her peak, it was not surprising that she had such strength.
“The Saint King…” A cold glint flashed across the Sorcerer Queen’s eyes.” That group of people is actually spies of the Sacred Clan? Why? Did they want to avenge the Saint King back then? Or did they want to bring the Saint King’s corpse back?!”
Li Ruo frowned and said, “Could it be that… they captured His Highness Ye
Yang not to exchange for the Sorcerer King, but to exchange for the Saint
King’s corpse?”
“Why would Zhou Jin collude with the Sacred Clan?” The Sacred and Sorcerer Clans were irreconcilable. Zhou Jin was a taboo no matter where he was. Not to mention that the Sorcerer Clan could not tolerate him, wasn’t the Sacred Clan the same? Hong Luan said, “I keep feeling that things aren’t that simple.”
“Sorcerer Queen! Someone sent a letter!” Outside the hall, a guard’s report suddenly sounded.
Hong Luan and Li Ruo looked at the Sorcerer Queen, who nodded indifferently.
Li Ruo walked out of the bedchamber and took the secret letter from the guard.
In case there was a trap, Li Ruo first tore open the secret letter in front of the Sorcerer Queen. After confirming that there were no mechanisms or poison, she handed the letter over with both hands.
After the Sorcerer Queen finished reading the letter, her expression turned cold. She threw the letter away.
Hong Luan squatted down and picked up the letter to take a look. [At midnight, on the ancient walkway in the west of the city, we want to see the Sorcerer King.]
“In that case, they’re still here for the Sorcerer King.” Hong Luan handed the letter to Li Ruo.
After Li Ruo saw it, her expression changed. “That group of people is too arrogant! They actually openly used His Highness Ye Yang to threaten us to hand over the Sorcerer King! ”
They could not tolerate threatening the Sorcerer Queen, let alone that one of them was a Saint King. The Sorcerer Queen had not forgotten her hatred for that woman for so many years. Now that someone who was also a Saint King like her had come, it would be strange if the Sorcerer Queen could take this lying down.
However, the Saint King was too powerful. Other than the Sorcerer King, who could deal with her?
However, how could the Sorcerer King deal with her? Not to mention that the Sorcerer King had endured the backlash for so many years, even if he wanted to deal with her, he would probably be powerless.
Li Ruo said worriedly, “Sorcerer Queen, are we really going to hand the Sorcerer King over?”
If they didn’t hand it over, His Highness Ye Yang would be in trouble.
The Sorcerer Queen said with a cold expression, “Am I such an easy person to threaten? Did they really think they could ride on my head just because they have a Saint King?”
Hong Luan looked at the Sorcerer Queen’s almost crazy expression and had an ominous feeling.
“Bring me my key,” the Sorcerer Queen said in a deep voice.
“Which key?” Li Ruo asked.
The Sorcerer Queen gestured with her eyes. Li Ruo walked to Duobao Ge, opened the third box on her right, and took out a golden key.
This was…
Hong Luan was stunned! If she recognized it correctly, this was the key to the Hall of Light. Sorcerer Queen… Was the Sorcerer Queen going to wake that person up?
NO!
That was a demonic creature that even the Sorcerer King was almost unable to deal with back then. It was the Sorcerer King and the Saint King who joined forces and worked together to suppress it!
The current Sorcerer King’s strength was greatly inferior to before. A single Saint King was no match for that demonic creature at all!
Once it was released, there would be no way to suppress it!
“Sorcerer Queen! Please think twice!” Hong Luan tried to stop her.
However, the Sorcerer Queen had already made up her mind. No one in the world could threaten her. Those who threatened her… were all dead!
“Grandma, you’re awake? Eh? You’re here too?” Yu Wan went to bed early and woke up early. She had just washed up and was about to instruct the kitchen to make some of their favorite breakfast. In the end, when she passed by Grandma’s room, she saw that the door was wide open. Shadow Thirteen, Shadow Six, Mu Qing, and Zhou Jin were all inside.
“What’s the matter?” Yu Wan asked.
“Young Madam is here!” Shadow Six greeted and said, “Young Master asked us to send news to the Sorcerer Queen and asked her to make a deal at midnight on the ancient walkway in the west of the city.”
“Are we going to exchange Ye Yang for the Sorcerer King?” Yu Wan asked.
“That’s right.” Shadow Six nodded.
Mu Qing patted his junior brother’s head. “Don’t be nervous. It’ll be fine.”
Zhou Jin said, “I’m not nervous. Senior Brother, don’t be nervous.”
Mu Qing pressed down on his trembling legs. “Oh.”
Shadow Thirteen said, “They have four Martial Rakshasas. I guess all of them will appear tonight.”
“Is Martial Rakshasa very powerful?” Yu Wan looked at her small fists. Last time, she had beaten a Martial Rakshasa to the ground!
Yu Wan said, “Martial Rakshasa should be the most powerful expert of the Sorcerer Clan, right? As long as we’re confident in defeating them, we’re not afraid of not being able to exchange for the Sorcerer King.”
Grandma, who had been silent all this while, said, “If there’s only Martial
Rakshasa, there’s nothing to worry about.” He emphasized the word martial.
Yu Wan blinked strangely. “From what Grandma said, could there be an even more powerful Rakshasa?”
Grandma pondered for a moment and said, “The most powerful Rakshasa in the world is not the Blood Rakshasa, nor is it Martial Rakshasa. It’s Soul Rakshasa.”
“Soul Rakshasa?” Yu Wan was stunned. She had never heard of it.
“That’s right.” Grandma nodded. He opened the ancient book in his hand and looked at the terrifying ghost totem. “If the Blood Rakshasa is an evil being, then the Soul Rakshasa is an out-and-out demon.. The martial arts of an expert are useless against it because…”
