They are rising stars in recent years, the elusive Four Envoys of the Palace of Hell, known as the Soul-seeking Envoys.
The four of them waited in the same posture for half an hour, motionless, showing no sign of impatience, only awe and humility.
A very light breeze blew from the entrance of the hall, and the corners of the black robe were slightly raised. He was wearing a black cloak, half of a silver mask, and black hair like a waterfall. There was a hint of strange and cold aura around him.
With extremely elegant steps that struck everyone's heart, she walked slowly to the main seat, lifted up her clothes, and sat down gracefully.
Ye Chen followed her and stood aside. Such a scene would occur no more than four times a year. She would not summon the four hall masters even if it was not an important matter.
"See you, Lord." The four of them bent down and said respectfully, their tense bodies revealing their nervousness and fear.
"Hmm." A very light nasal sound, vague or absent, made the four people highly concentrated, so tense that they almost broke.
The four of them kept their heads down, and did not dare to raise their heads even if they were given seats by the Lord. The Lord's first order was not to peek.
A year ago, a person raised his head to peek at the Lord, and his blood immediately splattered on the spot. From then on, coming to the fortress became their nightmare.
"How are things going?" The voice was very faint, but it seemed particularly clear in the silent hall.
"Back to your lord, the three small countries and seven cities on the northern border of Jinli Kingdom have been conquered. Among the original monarchs and city lords, the four who refused to surrender were killed by their subordinates, including their families, and the six who surrendered were sent to the city to serve as city lords."
Jiangxue, the man at the front, replied.
"Well, Leng Yutongyun, how are you doing?"
The person who was named trembled slightly, their backs were dripping with cold sweat, and their hands and feet were stiff. They were afraid because things were not going well.
"Returning to your lord, my subordinates are incompetent. They haven't peeked into the interior of the Nanxu Empire for half a year. However, they have conquered the Beiyan Principality and two cities on the border of Nanxu. Now the Northern Yan Kingdom is still in power on the surface.
, the essence is controlled by the Palace of Hell."
The man Leng Yu replied, his voice trembling with a hint of composure.
He did not dare to say anything like asking the Lord to forgive his sins. Whether the Lord would punish him or not all depended on his mood. If the Lord was in a good mood today, they might be able to escape.
"You two have done so little in a year? What use do I want from you?" Qiongying said in a nonchalant manner, as if he was talking about what the weather is like today.
With a pop, Leng Yu and Tong Yun immediately knelt down on one knee, their faces pale and their hearts tightening. The more careless the Lord became, the more powerful the shock was to them, making them breathless.
"Your Majesty, please give your subordinates a chance to make up for their mistakes. I will do my best and will not let you down."
The woman Tongyun lowered her head and said firmly, maybe she was not afraid of death, but unwilling to do nothing.
Originally, she had died two years ago. Her life was saved by the Lord, and it was natural for the Lord to take her life back.
"That's good, then I'll give you...eight years, maybe even longer." Qiongying said nonchalantly.
A rough calculation shows that in the last life, I spent two years fetching things and slept for four years.
She is stronger in this life, and believes that the time to retrieve things will be shortened. As for sleeping, she may not need to sleep, or she may not wake up.
Eight years? Leng Yu and Tong Yun were surprised and shocked. One year ago, the Lord asked them to go to the Nanxu Empire and asked them to come back in one year. Nothing could be done in one year. They came back with the mentality of being punished or even killed.
