Chapter 19 The world you left behind
No one in this city shrouded in the breath of death has died again.
The Demon Sect did not kill anyone again.
He was so tired that he needed rest and a period of peace that he could think with peace of mind.
He can only cut off Yuwen Lie's control over himself now, and at the same time suppress the destiny blood box's devourment on him.
He needs to find a safe place to retreat, have more insights into the qi in his body, and completely solve the threat of the Destiny Blood Box to him.
The most important thing is that if he wants to know what happened in Luoyang, he needs to figure out what kind of opponent he is facing.
Not only Yuwen Lie and those descendants of Emperor You, he even feels that the Holy Sect of Guangming back then may not be as simple as he imagined. Perhaps even Wu Guzhi had enough secrets to threaten him.
He once thought that he was standing in the sky and was already overlooking the world.
But obviously it is not.
The people on the walls of Shangqiu City were panicked.
Everyone felt that they had made a mistake, and they were afraid that the Demon Sect would go directly to cross this city to kill the Northern Wei emperor who was not far from Shangqiu.
Beacon fires lit up on the city walls, and the sound of arrows and the sound of birds breaking through the air were constantly ringing.
It was not until a long time later that the military information that was constantly conveying back made the people on the Shangqiu city wall feel relieved. Many of them lost all their strength and sat down on the ground limply.
The Demon Sect did not kill the Northern Wei emperor.
When the Northern Wei emperor arrived in Shangqiu, the Demon Sect did not show any more.
Shortly afterwards, a sad news came to 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 was assassinated by the assassin and left this world.
When he heard this news, the Northern Wei emperor did not say anything.
He just quietly lowered his head.
He was a little painful.
Somewhat unspeakable sadness.
In fact, he could not sense some of the fluctuations in Luoyang City as clearly as the Demon Sect, but when the formation of the imperial palace in Luoyang City was launched, he knew that his beloved mother would leave this world.
There are many things in the world that are inevitable.
And he knows more than anyone else, from many
Starting from the new year, his mother was worried that something like this would happen today. She was always preparing... for the real powerful enemy in the shadow to appear.
When such a large formation in the palace was launched, he knew that she had chosen her successor and she had made a real farewell.
He knew that such a day would come at any time, and he had even been mentally prepared for many years. However, when this day really came, he still couldn't help but feel pain.
...
The Northern Wei palace was already preparing for future generations.
Even though the shadow of the Demon Sect is still shrouded in Shangqiu and Luoyang, in everyone's heart, it seems that the Demon Sect may emerge from a certain shadow at any time, but the funeral of the Empress Dowager is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Many people are busy.
The Empress Dowager's body has been restrained.
It was clearly the last successor of the old woman and the successor of her true power, but Helan Heiyun stood in this broken garden and watched those people busy in and out, she felt like a irrelevant passerby.
Until an old palace maid came to her.
This old palace maid is not even a cultivator, so although she is really over twenty years younger than the Empress Dowager, she looks older than the Empress Dowager before.
She was so old that she was a little trembling, as if one day she would suddenly wake up and leave the world silently.
But her appearance is very dignified.
Every move she made seemed very regular.
She respected Helan Heiyun very much. When she arrived at the lower head of Helan Heiyun, she bowed seriously and said respectfully: "You can leave, I will arrange the matter here."
Helan Heiyun knew about this palace maid.
Almost all the important figures in the palace, even those hidden practitioners, were no secrets to her before.
This palace maid is one of the two palace maids who have been following the Empress Dowager, and is now the only one.
The other one died of old age the previous year.
"rest assured."
The old palace maid looked at Helan Heiyun without saying a word, and said, "Before a person dies, it is a big deal, and after a person dies, it is a common thing. I will not make mistakes when doing things according to the rules. The lady did not give any special instructions before, so she should have nothing special to tell you, and nothing else to give to you."
The black clouds of Helan are sinking again
After breathing for several moments, she heard the palace maid calling the Empress Dowager a lady, and knew that in this world, only the Northern Wei emperor could know 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 empress dowager's meaning, she is actually not good at observing words and expressions, so she does not understand what Helan Heiyun's words mean at this time.
"The thing she passed on to me was a treasure that the Yuan clan had obtained many years ago. She was a woman married by the late emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although she was also a descendant of the tribe who migrated to the Northern Wei Dynasty with the Yuan clan, how could the Yuan clan hand over this treasure to her?" Helan Heiyun asked, looking at the old palace maid who was a little surprised.
"Miss is a very powerful person. She will remember all the books she read once. She can recite those difficult-to-mouth scriptures." The old palace maid had an unconcealed look of pride on her wrinkled face. Her dim eyes shone light, covering her sadness. "But the late emperor was also very nice to her. She was unwilling to marry the late emperor, but once she encountered danger. The late emperor even rushed over the first one, and then she almost died. But the treasure you mentioned was in her hands. The lady once told me that she was able to become a person of the Yuan family and become the person in charge of the most important things in the Yuan family because the late emperor felt that she was the kind of person who had no requirements for herself and others. If the late emperor had not asked her to keep and use this thing, I think the lady might not look down on this thing."
"There is no requirement for others and yourself..."
A bitter smile appeared on Helan Heiyun's face.
The old palace maid's current attitude is similar to the lady she said.
Until now, she didn't ask her to do anything at all, just told her that she could leave.
"Is this your plan, or did you see from the beginning that I am such a person?"
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.
