Chen Mo solemnly said that they were waiting for the net to be caught, and without further questioning, Pei Jiangnan and others stopped.
Having been injured, Pei Jiangnan departed from Chen Mo as soon as he received the answer he wanted, and turned back to tend to his wounds. Now that Miao Tiannan has fallen, Long Feiwu has returned, and as the General Commander of Zhenwu Si, he has much work to do.
After a brief greeting, Long Feiwu also stood up to take her leave. Her visit had two purposes: one was to hold Chen Mo accountable for hiding from her, and now that she had received the answer, though not entirely satisfactory.
Secondly, she wanted to know from Chen Mo how to restore the normal state of the controlled Long Ling. The answer was still unsatisfactory because he could not guarantee whether Big Treasure and Little Treasure could force out all the parasites controlling Long Ling, nor could he guarantee whether doing so would not cause him harm; all these depended on the arrival of the little expert in witchcraft and sorcery.
The Tianlong Dynasty had been dominated by Miao Tiannan for years, even the empress Long Feiwu was forced to hide in the mausoleum and dare not show her head. She knew that the originally solid empire was now just a facade, and there were many loopholes unknown to others under the surface. She had been sewed up again and again when she returned this time.
The traitors favored by Miao Tiannan should also be eliminated one by one. If it were not for the concern for Chen Mo's safety, she would still be handling state affairs in the palace.
Long Feiwu made her way back to the palace, and the officials who had been left behind by her dared not leave. She used this opportunity to clean up the imperial officials, removing the poisonous thorns one by one.
It was not until night that the bloodstream that had accumulated in the Taiji Hall and turned into a small stream was cleaned up. Meanwhile, the bodies piled up at the gate were also gathered outside to be burned together. According to Chen Mo's statement, there was a blood-mite on them, which would absorb blood, and they could not be left to cause harm to the people in the city.
Long Feiwu picked up a lamp to read through the list of bodies burned today. Her beautiful eyes raised an eyebrow, and her face suddenly turned cold, "Where is Miao Tiannan's body?"
Liu Huan, the General Commander of Zhenwu Si, whose task was to report the results of the battle, paled and bowed in terror, apologizing: "Holy Majesty, is it true that, is it true that the body of the Grand Sage...No, no! The body of Miao Tiannan was originally in a funeral carriage. For some reason, it suddenly deflated and turned into a corpse with worms…"
With a 'slap,' Long Feiwu struck the desk with a palm, roaring in anger, "Why wasn't such an important matter reported immediately... damned, the body turning into a worm-like body? Why is that? Is he faking his death? If he isn't dead, where might he have gone..."
Long Feiwu's eyes twinkled slightly, and her face showed some displeasure. She couldn't explain why, but she felt a faint sense of unease in her heart, as if she had a premonition of something bad happening.
Night has fallen
After Su Kekeli's careful treatment, Chen Mo's injuries had improved significantly, and his face had long returned to normal. By the time night fell, he had been in bed, supposedly resting, but at this moment, he still couldn't sleep due to some lingering concerns.
This time, Xiao Tianyi is not strong, but the power he accumulated in his previous life is not so easy to deal with. There are also three forces behind him, such as Spider Web, Shadow Pavilion, and Heaven Punishment.
"For now, the most important thing is to find that guy... I wonder if Master Fu is going well on his side."
Chen Mo was lying on his bed, his hands supporting his head as he reviewed the situation. Gradually, sleepiness overcame him, and with a slight fatigue, he closed his eyes. In a semi-asleep state, he suddenly felt his body go rigid and found himself unable to move.
What's the situation?
Chen Mo was slightly taken aback, wondering if he was experiencing the sensation of being haunted by a ghost. No, he had a clear consciousness, but his body was paralyzed. As a Martial Arts expert with high physical defense, he immediately sensed the arrival of danger.
Opening his eyes, Chen Mo looked at the pitch-black ceiling beams. He could feel that he had awakened, with his consciousness clear, but his body was still immobile. Subtly, a sense of unease crept into his heart.
Someone had control over him, who was it? Xiao Tianyi? He had only been driven away in the morning, and it shouldn't be so quick for him to come back to seek revenge on him.
In the darkness, a hand emerged from next to Chen Mo, holding a dagger, raised high above his head, and was about to plunge it into his chest. It was precisely aimed at his heart.
In a flash, Chen Mo's face turned pale. Unable to move due to his paralysis, he wanted to call for help, but after rolling in his throat for a moment, he was unable to utter a sound.
As the dagger drew closer to his chest, Chen Mo's heart raced to his throat. In this critical moment, "creeak" suddenly, the door was opened by someone.
A red figure quietly slipped into his room, and upon seeing this, the hand that had emerged from his side immediately retreated. In the room where the needle fell silently, a faint voice suddenly echoed.
"Chen Gongzi?"
No response was given, not because Chen Mo didn't want to answer but because he couldn't produce any sound. He had already guessed the identity of the person who had come, Yun Chuang, and with her presence, he might have a chance to get through this crisis.
Although Chen Mo didn't understand why this woman was stealthily sneaking into his room, it seemed that she was the only one who could save him at the moment.
Chen Mo was in a dilemma, trying to think of a way to alert the woman who had sneaked into his room in the middle of the night. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come up with a solution.
What else can he do when his body is immobile and he cannot speak?
Yun Chuang gently called out to Chen Mo but received no response. The woman, who had cautiously crept into the room, mustered a bit of courage. Stepping softly towards Chen Mo, she took a deep breath and looked at the motionless Chen Mo lying on the bed like a dead man, her lips unconsciously curling up slightly.
Known to him, the dear king dislikes him extremely, and even being close to him is not allowed. He also knows that the king loves Chen Mo very much. Anything with his traces will be very affectionate.
Such as the last time her hand was holding his, after returning to the school, the king touched her face with her hand, and until now, Yun Chuang has not washed her hands……
And this time, when she went back, the king did not show affection towards her. Yun Chuang thought of the reason: because Xiao Douding was watching, so she hadn't touched Chen Mo.
Therefore, she must try to bear the disgust today.
All this is for the sake of the king……
Yun Chuang approached the bedside, looking at the man on the bed and taking a deep breath again, "Where should I start this time? Last time, she allowed me to touch her face, but she still disliked me. Maybe I should try touching her face this time? If we touch faces, perhaps she might change her opinion of me..."
Thinking of this, Yun Chuang's heart rejoiced. She seemed to see the image of herself touching Liu Wu Xin's face when she returns next time. With a smile on her red lips, she gently removed her veil and leaned towards Chen Mo's face.
At that very moment, she saw a pair of dark and shiny eyes, standing out against the darkness.
In the moment of eye contact, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat awkward...
