Chapter 500: 10. Da Qi’s Imperial Palace, Four Years Later
Translator: 549690339
The king of Qi was terrified.
The state preceptor was gone.
The sect elders were also gone.
They had all vanished from the face of the earth without leaving a trace.
He really wanted to think that this was a mysterious expert who guarded the Imperial Palace.
But he quickly slapped himself awake.
No matter how strong he was, how could he make a level 12 expert disappear without leaving any traces of a fight?
How could he still be considered an expert? He was simply a god.
Would a god protect the palace of a mortal dynasty?
He wouldn’t.
Moreover, there were many dynasties now, but no one had ever heard of true records of ghosts and gods in the world.
The strong can move mountains and seas , and kill people with karma without being noticed.
However, there were no real ghosts and gods. There were only powerful people.
And some of the myths that had been passed down in ancient times only added some fun to the entertainment in the market.
The king of Qi State woke up. He ordered someone to send medicine to the imperial prison and gave it to Shan Xin. Then, he secretly released the guard and gave him a lot of money. He also sent someone to help Shan Xin buy a mansion in a city beside the capital of Qi State and settle down.
After doing all of this in secret, he sent his eunuch to the Green Peak Five Sects to report the matter of “Jiyun’s disappearance”.
If the state preceptor was missing, there was a small possibility that he had run away.
Then Elder Ji Yun’s disappearance was completely illogical.
This could only mean one thing: there was something wrong with the palace.
Where was the problem?
He did not know.
No one knew.
“I understand.”
Lil ‘Wu suddenly clapped his hands and said, ” Lil’ Yu must want to drink. ”
Hua Xiaochan was speechless. ” Sister Wu, Little Yu is only one year old. He’s still a child. ”
“Then why didn’t he obediently drink the milk or eat the porridge? Why did he stare at the wine cup?”
Hua Xiaochan turned slightly and looked at the one-year-old boy in her arms. Xia Ji’s eyeballs rolled away, no longer staring at the wine cup.
He didn’t drink milk or milk porridge because he was full.
“He can understand us,” Little Wu said in surprise.
Hua Xiaochan lowered her head and gently pressed her face against the boy’s.
“”He’s really too cute.”
She revealed a gentle smile. For some reason, her mood was much better.
To be honest, there had been some rumors circulating in the palace recently.
It was said that there was a mysterious and unfathomable monster hidden in the depths of the palace.
As for the Imperial Advisor and the Elder, they were both killed by that monster.
Of course, no one dared to spread this rumor. Even if they were to casually talk about it, they would keep it a secret. No one dared to openly discuss it. Hua Xiaochan did not understand what kind of monster could make the state preceptor and the elder disappear without a trace.
However, despite her fear, she felt a little more relaxed.
At the very least, the people this monster killed made her feel lucky and happy.
Not only her, but everyone in the palace was happy.
As long as he didn’t have anything to do with them, it was a good thing.
But would he?
No one knew.
Therefore, the people in the palace became very nervous, especially Ya Fei.
She was the focus of the elder’s investigation, but the elder had suddenly disappeared…
If they investigated later, this matter would definitely not be avoided.
Ya Fei was worried, and the others were also in fear.
Hua Xiaochan could not help but hug her son tightly in her arms. She was filled with worry, afraid that her son would be dragged into this turbulent storm…
The next day…
Concubine Chan took Xiao Wu and her son out of the palace and went to Mingsheng Temple in the suburbs of the country. They burned incense and prayed to Buddha devoutly. They also gave up hundreds of taels of silver before they begged for a blessed longevity lock.
This lock was made of jade. The front side was engraved with the pattern of ”
Pisces swimming under a lotus “, while the back side was engraved with Longevity for Ten Thousand Years “. It was decorated with silver rings and hung with five-colored silk threads of bells. When it walked, it jingled.
Hua Xiaochan carefully put the longevity lock on her son’s head and felt a little relieved.
The Longevity Lock could lock a child’s life, dispel evil, avoid disaster, and grow up safely. Even if he didn’t know if he could avoid the monster in the palace and avoid the treacherous undercurrents in the dynasty’s sects, it was still a psychological comfort.
After the king of Qi reported the disappearance of Elder Jiyun to the sect.
On the contrary, the sect did not have any intense reaction.
As for why there was no reaction, Qi Xiu wasn’t sure.
According to the eunuch who sent the letter, when he was waiting outside the sect’s square, he vaguely sensed that the five sects of the Green Peak seemed to be busy with something. It seemed to be a trial for the new and old sect masters to replace the new sect master…
Moreover, the new killing tribulation had arrived, and the sect seemed to be preparing for it.
The disappearance of an elder in the Divine Power Realm had already implicated quite a lot of power. The five sects of the Green Peak could not be assigned to take care of this for the time being.
They did not rashly intervene to avoid unnecessary losses at this critical moment.
Qi Xiu did not know what the new killing tribulation was. He only knew that a new turmoil was coming.
He was the Son of Heaven, so he knew a lot. Ordinary people didn’t even know about the killing tribulation that happened once every five hundred years.
Without the suppression of the sect, Qi Xiu began to work hard to turn his energy towards the country.
He began to carefully ask about political affairs, review memorials, and even visit in disguise…
For a moment, it seemed that the killing tribulation had not arrived yet.
However, Qi State had gradually recovered its prosperity and vitality. It could be considered to have developed relatively fast among the surrounding countries.
Merchants were also coming and going. Even the hawkers on the streets were more energetic. Brothels, brothels, martial artists ‘dojos, mortal sects, and so on were also full of vitality..
