Chapter 993: Soul Rakshasa Is Here!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There were a total of seven elders in the Elder Hall. Although the Third Elder’s status was not as high as the Great Elder, he was on good terms with the Fourth Elder and the Seventh Elder. Back then, when the Sorcerer King was sick, the Second Elder and the Fourth Elder objected to the Sorcerer Queen taking power. It was the Third Elder who stepped forward and joined forces with the Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder to stabilize the situation for the Sorcerer Queen. Therefore, the Third Elder’s influence could not be underestimated.
Otherwise, would the Great Elder give Nie Wanrou face like this?
However, no matter how much the Great Elder thought highly of Nie Wanrou, it was not a woman’s happiness. She should be happy with her husband, and have children with her husband.
On this day, the Third Elder’s gaze never left his son-in-law. His son-in-law did not notice that he was observing him because his son-in-law’s eyes were all on Nie Wanrou.
Dawa did not know anyone. He was afraid that he would be exposed and followed the Second Madam closely. When the Second Madam addressed someone, he also addressed them. When the Second Madam took a seat, he also took a seat. Even when the Second Madam went to the toilet, he followed her to the door.
The Second Madam blushed. “You… wait for me outside!”
The Madams who passed by laughed.
Did Wen Xu change his temper or was his brain kicked by a donkey? Why was he suddenly so clingy to his wife?
The Third Elder was also inexplicably embarrassed. In the past, Wen Xu looked like a big-tailed wolf no matter how one looked at him. Today, he had become a clingy puppy.
The Second Madam did not really want to go to the toilet, but she was on her period. She stayed in the washroom for a while. When she left the courtyard, she saw Dawa heaving a long sigh of relief.
Dawa didn’t say anything, but his face was filled with the words “You’re finally out. What would I do without you?”
The Second Madam lowered her eyes and smiled slightly.
His daughter’s gaze could not be deceived. Although he did not know how all of this happened, Wen Xu did not bully his daughter anymore. Third Elder had actually thought about whether Wen Xu’s gentleness was fake or sincere. It was naturally best if it was sincere. If it was fake…
“Third Elder!”
While he was thinking, a guard from the Elder Hall hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words into his ear. The Third Elder’s expression changed. “There’s actually such a thing? Does the Great Elder know?”
The guard said, “He’s the first to know. He’s already rushed to the palace. The remaining elders should be on their way too!”
“Nonsense! Truly nonsense!” After such a big incident, how could the Third Elder still be in the mood for his grandson’s baptism? He hurriedly got someone to prepare a carriage in the direction of the palace.
When he arrived at the palace, the elders had all arrived.
“The elders are all here. Where’s the Great Elder?” He alighted from the carriage.
The Fifth Elder, who was on good terms with him, said, “The Great Elder has gone to the Hall of Light. I hope he can stop the Sorcerer Queen in time. That demonic creature can’t be released!”
Even the Second Elder and Fifth Elder, who did not get along with them, nodded in unison. Everyone present recalled that the Sorcerer Clan had almost been destroyed back then. No one knew how that demonic creature was refined. By the time they discovered it, it was too late to get rid of it.
Although they hated the spy of the Sacred Clan, they had to admit that it was fortunate that there was a spy from the Sacred Clan!
They had combined the power of the Saint King and the Sorcerer King to suppress the demonic creature. They wanted to kill it, but unfortunately, they could not. It was obvious how powerful that thing was.
Wouldn’t the Sorcerer Queen be bringing disaster to the Sorcerer Clan by letting such a scourge out?
When they used that demonic creature to kill that group of spies, what would they use to kill that demonic creature?
“Is the Sorcerer Queen crazy? Even if that group of spies captured His
Highness, she shouldn’t be so rash!” “That’s right, we can’t wake up that demonic creature!”
“It’s all up to the Great Elder!”
As the few of them discussed, a terrifying rumble erupted in the Light Hall. Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
The Fourth Elder grabbed the Third Elder’s arm tightly. “Not good, the demonic creature has woken up. It’s… it’s too late!”
Indeed, Dawa and the Second Madam had returned home after attending the baptism. It was already late and there were not many people on the streets. The carriage drove unimpeded. Suddenly, a horse galloped over and blocked their path.
The coachman hurriedly tightened the reins. “Who is it?!”
On the horse was a woman in white wearing a bamboo hat. She did not say anything and only stared fixedly at the curtain of the carriage.
The Second Madam lifted the curtain and looked at her. She said to Dawa, “It’s
Li Ruo, the Sorcerer Queen’s trusted witch.”
She even recognized it when her face was covered by a bamboo hat? A woman’s intuition was really terrifying!
Dawa composed himself and said, “Maybe the Sorcerer Queen has something urgent to discuss with me. Go back to the manor first.”
The Second Madam nodded.
Dawa alighted from the carriage and it slowly passed behind him. The Second Madam lifted the curtain and looked back in his direction, but did not say anything. She quietly lowered the curtain.
“What’s the matter?” Dawa looked up at the woman on the horse, his tone so cold that it was as if they didn’t know each other at all.
Li Ruo narrowed her eyes and took off her bamboo hat. “You’ve changed!” Dawa’s heart skipped a beat.
“What kind of bewitching soup did that vixen feed you? You don’t even look me in the eye?” In the past, Wen Xu would flirt with her from time to time. The Sorcerer Queen didn’t give herself to him, but she was already his. She just didn’t have a status.
Li Ruo dismounted and approached Dawa step by step. Dawa’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Li Ruo stopped in front of him. “What Hong Luan can do for you, so can I
“Huh
“Do you care so much about that vixen? You didn’t hesitate to betray the Sorcerer Queen for her?”
Li Ruo raised his chin and said slowly, “I said that if Hong Luan can help you, so can I. I came today to tell you some news: It’s best if you don’t go to tonight’s deal. Otherwise, you’ll die there.”
What did this mean? Could it be that the Sorcerer Queen had mobilized an expert more powerful than Martial Rakshasa?
Yan Jiuchao and the others were in danger?
Dawa couldn’t be bothered to deal with Li Ruo. He turned around and entered an alley.
Li Ruo stomped her feet in anger when she saw him leave in such a hurry. “I knew you hadn’t given up on that vixen!”
Li Ruo wanted to chase after him to take a look, but when she thought of what was going to happen next, she felt that she shouldn’t give her life away for nothing.
Li Ruo got on the horse and said coldly, “How dare you fight the Sorcerer
Queen? Just wait and see how you die!”
As the night of the full moon approached, it was inconvenient for Yan Jiuchao to go out. This time, the people who brought Ye Yang to exchange hostages were Yu Shaoqing, Shadow Thirteen, Shadow Six, and Zhou Jin. The reason why they brought Zhou Jin along was because he was worried that the Sorcerer Queen would get someone to pretend to be the Sorcerer King. Only Zhou Jin could recognize if the other party was the real Sorcerer King.
“I want to go too,” Zhou Yuyan said. “I’m worried about my junior brother.” Her martial arts were not weak, so there was no harm in going.
Yu Shaoqing nodded. “Alright.”
Zhou Yuyan smiled happily and jumped to Shadow Six’s side. She blinked at
Shadow Six. “I’ll protect you later.”
“Aren’t you going to protect your junior brother?” Shadow Thirteen interrupted expressionlessly and stood between her and Shadow Six, separating the two of them.
“I’m protecting my junior brother, but I’m also protecting Shadow Six.” Zhou Yuyan curled her lips.
“I don’t need your protection. Thirteen will protect me,” Shadow Six said seriously.
Zhou Yuyan choked at Shadow Six’s insensitivity. Her beautiful eyes widened as she said, “Idiot!”
Shadow Six looked at Shadow Thirteen in confusion after being called an idiot for no reason. Shadow Thirteen patted his shoulder. “Pretty good. It’s fine.”
Shadow Six: “Oh.”
The group set off for the ancient walkvvay in the west of the city.
Ye Yang and Zhou Jin were in the same carriage.
Halfway there, Ye Yang woke up faintly. He already knew that he had been kidnapped by this group of people and that they planned to use him to exchange for his father. What he did not know was that that person was also Zhou Jin’s father.
“You want to capture my father with just the few of you? No way! None of you
Sacred Clan is good!” Ye Yang naturally categorized them as spies of the Sacred Clan. After all, other than the Sacred Clan, no one else had the guts to go against the Sorcerer Clan.
Zhou Jin ignored him.
Ye Yang secretly raised his hand. He had practiced martial arts before, so it was not a problem for him to knock out a child. After he knocked Zhou Jin out, he could take him hostage and leave this place.
Ye Yang cried out in pain, “You will suffer retribution! My mother will kill you!”
Zhou Jin still ignored this spoiled prince. He lifted the curtain of the carriage window and looked up at the endless night.
Shadow Thirteen rode his horse beside the carriage and asked him, “What are you looking at?”
“Astrology,” Zhou Jin said.
Shadow Thirteen also looked up at the sky. “How is the astrology tonight?”
Zhou Jin said firmly, “The Ziwei Star is dark, and the Taiyin Star is bright. This is a great omen.”
“Great omen?” Before Shadow Thirteen could finish speaking, a woman’s singing came from ahead. It was ethereal and quiet, like the sound of nature, but it was faintly discernible and a little unreal.
The stars in the night sky were all covered by the clouds, and there was only a round moon hanging high in the sky.
When the woman’s singing got closer, it was as ethereal and beautiful as a merman’s chant. The forest on both sides fell silent, and even the wind could not be heard. The song got closer and closer, and it became clearer and clearer. Closer and closer to the song was a series of pleasant copper bells. Zhou Yuyan suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, “Look! What’s that!”
