The Ghost King and the Demon Queen

The dark clouds parted, revealing the pale moonlight.

A huge crack opened in the mountain mausoleum, many boulders rolled down the cliff, old trees collapsed, dead leaves shattered, leaving a mess.

Ye Chen was panting, as if the strength in his body had been drained, his whole body was cold, like a sculpture in the cold wind.

"The shadow of the sky..."

The only response to him was dead silence, the black branches looked like devil's minions, as if they were strangling his neck, unable to breathe, almost suffocating.

It will be dawn.

Ye Chen returned to the palace, the sky was slightly bright, but the bedroom was still deserted.

She said she would be back before dawn, and she broke her promise.

…………

In the morning, it is destined to be restless.

In order not to cause a stir, Ye Chen only said that Qiong Ying went to Qingming City with Wu Yue.

Everyone was shocked and doubtful.In the end, under Ye Chen's words, he led the most powerful men in Yan Dian to Qingming City.

In less than half a day, everyone left the palace silently.

"What's going on?" Qing Jun asked angrily.

"I don't know too well." Ye Chen briefly described what happened last night, omitting everything that should be briefed.

"Is that so?" Qing Jun gave Ye Chen a cold look, obviously skeptical.

Ye Chen remained silent, he didn't want to explain anything to Qing Jun, he just wanted to go to Qingming City quickly, maybe Wu Yue wouldn't hurt her, but there was no guarantee that Mu Feng would have any motives.

…………

The next day, the temperature dropped sharply, and there was a drizzle of icy shards.

On the third day, He Lian'an and others outside the city learned that all the main figures in Yan Dian had withdrawn from Yan City.

This meant that Qingjun had also left, and the queen turned pale with fright, and hurriedly sent someone to investigate.

"When will we evacuate?" Jiuge couldn't bear it anymore, and hurried to discuss.

"Returning to Your Highness, Lord Yan Dian and others should have left secretly two days ago. Yan Dian's army suddenly retreated to the east this morning, and the palace was already empty." Lei Sen was shocked. Yan Dian's sudden retreat this time may be a conspiracy .

"Quickly search eastward, and we must find Qingjun." The queen's face was haggard, and she looked a little sick.

"Mother, maybe Qingjun didn't go east, I'm afraid it's just a deception, but Qingjun will definitely appear again." Jiu Ge comforted.

"What's the matter with Yan Dian's retreat?" He Lian'an's eyes were majestic. As the king of the empire, he naturally had a longer-term plan in mind.

"Humble and incompetent, I haven't found out yet, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Lei Sen replied with his head bowed.

"Break through the city and occupy Beiyan." He Lian'an gave the order.

"Father?" Jiu Ge was shocked, and looked at his father in disapproval.

"But Qingjun..." The queen also hesitated, she was afraid that Qingjun would hate her even more.

"The palace of hell will not be destroyed for a day, the shadow of the cold moon will not die for a day, and Qingjun will not come back." He Lian'an looked at his beloved wife, his face darkened, and he must not pamper Qingjun again.

After hearing this, the queen said nothing more, she already felt deep hatred for Yan Dian in her heart, and destroying Yan Dian will not only get back the baby, but also the Helian clan's dominance of the mainland is just around the corner.

"Even if Qingjun comes back, his heart is not with Nan Xu!" Jiuge suddenly became angry. The father, queen and mother could kill Qiongying for Qingjun, but he would never allow it!

"Ge'er! He is your biological younger brother, how can you say that?" The queen was a little displeased and reproached lightly.

"You can kill anyone, even Qingjun, but you can't kill Hanyue Qiongying!" Jiu Ge said coldly, and waved away after finishing speaking.

"Ge'er..." The queen was very angry, exhausted physically and mentally, and her face turned pale again.

He Lian'an's order remained unchanged and sent troops to attack the city.
