No one dies in this city shrouded in the breath of death.
The Demon Sect did not kill anyone again.
He was really too tired, he needed to rest, and needed some quiet time so that he could think with peace of mind.
Now he can only cut off Yuwen Lie's control over him, and at the same time suppress the Destiny Blood Box from devouring him.
He needs to find a safe place to retreat, gain more understanding of the qi in his body, and completely eliminate the threat posed by the Destiny Blood Box to himself.
The most important thing is that he wants to know what happened in Luoyang, and he needs to understand what kind of opponent he is facing.
Not only Yu Wenlie and those descendants of You Emperor, he now even feels that the Guangming Holy Sect may not be as simple as he imagined, and perhaps even Wu Guzhi's body has secrets that are enough to threaten him.
He once thought that when he was standing in the sky, he was already overlooking the human world.
But it's obviously not.
The people on the walls of Shangqiu City were terrified.
Everyone felt that they might have made a mistake. They were afraid that the Demon Sect would directly cross the city and kill the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty who was not far from Shangqiu.
Beacon fires were lit on the city wall, and the sound of arrows and the sound of birds piercing the air continued to sound.
It was not until a long time later that the military intelligence that was constantly relayed back gave the people at Shangqiu City Wall some peace of mind. Many of them had lost all their strength and sat limply on the ground.
Mo Zong did not kill the Northern Wei Emperor.
By the time the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty arrived in Shangqiu, the Demon Sect had not shown its whereabouts again.
Not long after, a sad news reached Shangqiu.
In the early morning, when everyone's attention was attracted by the Demon Sect, a powerful assassin entered the palace. Although the assassin was also killed, the Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty was assassinated by the assassin and left this world.
When hearing the news, the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not say any words.
He just lowered his head quietly.
He was in some pain.
Somewhat unspeakably sad.
In fact, he was not able to sense some energy fluctuations in Luoyang City as clearly as the Demon Sect, but when the grand formation of the palace in Luoyang City was activated, he knew that his beloved mother was about to leave this world.
Life, separation, and death are inevitable. Many things in this world are inevitable.
And he knows better than anyone else that from many
Since years ago, his mother has been worried about something like this happening today. She has been preparing... for the truly powerful enemy in the shadows to emerge.
When such a grand formation was launched in the palace, he knew that she had chosen her successor and she had said her true farewell.
He knew that such a day would come at any time, and had even been mentally prepared for many years. However, when this day actually came, he still couldn't help but feel the pain.
…
The imperial palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty was already preparing for future generations.
Even though the shadow of the Demon Sect still hangs over Shangqiu and Luoyang, in everyone's mind, it seems that the Demon Sect may emerge from the shadow at any time, but the funeral arrangements for the Empress Dowager are still going on in an orderly manner.
Many people are busy.
The Empress Dowager's body has been recovered.
Helan Heiyun was obviously the last chosen successor of this old woman, the heir to her true power, but Helan Heiyun stood in this dilapidated garden, watching the busy people coming in and out, but she felt like she was an insignificant person.
An irrelevant passer-by.
Until an old palace maid came to her side.
This old palace maid is not even a practitioner, so although she is really more than twenty years younger than the Empress Dowager, she looks older than the previous Empress Dowager.
She was a little shaky with old age, and it seemed that one day when she went to bed, she would suddenly wake up and leave this world silently.
But her appearance is very dignified.
Every move she made seemed very orderly.
She respected Helan Heiyun very much. When she got to Helan Heiyun's head, she bowed seriously and said respectfully: "You can leave. I will arrange things here."
Helan Heiyun knew this palace maid.
Almost all the important figures in the palace, even those hidden practitioners, were no secrets to her before.
This maid is one of the two maids who have been following the Queen Mother, and now she is the only one.
The other one had died of old age.
"rest assured."
The old palace maid looked at Helan Heiyun without saying a word, and said: "Before a person dies, everything is important, after death, everything is ordinary. I will not make mistakes when doing things according to the etiquette. The lady did not give any special instructions before,
Then she probably has nothing special to tell you, and nothing else to leave to you."
Helan's dark clouds are heavy again
After a few breaths of silence, she listened to the palace maid calling the Empress Dowager Miss, and realized that in this world, apart from the old palace maid in front of her, only the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty could possibly know much about the Empress Dowager's past.
She wanted to know something, so she looked at the old palace maid and asked softly: "What kind of person is she?"
The old palace maid is indeed a little too old, her eyes are a little blurry, and apart from understanding the meaning of the Queen Mother, she is actually no longer good at observing words and expressions, so she does not understand what Helan Heiyun's words refer to at this time.
"What she passed on to me is a treasure that the Yuan family obtained many years ago. She was the woman married by the late Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although she was also a descendant of the tribe that migrated to the Northern Wei Dynasty with the Yuan family, how could the Yuan family take this treasure?
Leave it in her hands?" Helan Heiyun looked at the somewhat stunned and puzzled old palace maid and asked.
"The young lady is a very powerful person. She can memorize all the books after reading them once. She can recite those difficult-to-read scriptures by heart." The wrinkled face of the old palace maid showed an expression of pride that could not be concealed.
Her eyes were shining, covering up her sadness, "But the late emperor was also very kind to her. Originally, she was unwilling to marry the late emperor, but once she encountered danger, the late emperor even rushed over first, and then he
She almost died. But the reason why the treasure you mentioned came into her hands, the lady once told me, she said that the reason why she was able to become a member of the Yuan clan and become the most powerful person in charge of the Yuan clan
The reason for the important thing is that the late emperor thought that she was the kind of person who had no requirements for herself or others. If the late emperor had not asked her to keep and use this thing, I think the young lady might not even be able to see it."
"I have no requirements for others or myself..."
An unspeakable bitter smile appeared on Helan Heiyun's face.
The old palace maid's current attitude is similar to the young lady she mentioned.
Until now, he didn't ask her to do anything at all, he just told her that she could leave.
"Is this a ploy on your part, or did you know that I was this kind of person from the beginning?"
Such a voice sounded in Helan Heiyun's heart.
She turned to look at the palace where the old woman's body was placed, and lowered her head sadly again.
"You just passed this magic weapon to me without making any demands on me, and you didn't ask me to help you continue to guard the Northern Wei Dynasty... But how could I not do anything for you?"
