When Xia Houyuan learned about what happened in Mo Castle, he forced himself not to care about it, let alone Qian Diewu. But no matter how hard he forced himself, he could not let go of the person in his heart, and he threw the memorial in his hand on the table irritably.

Go up, walk to the window, look up at the dark night sky, and fall into infinite helplessness and sadness.

Even if Qian Diewu is really in danger, Jimo Wuxuan should be the one to save her, not him.

But Jimo Wuxuan has entered the palace and is not with Qian Diewu, how can he protect her?

The more Xia Houyuan thought about it, the more upset he became. He unknowingly tightened his hand on the window edge, pinching the edge of the window with his fingers to make it dent. However, he was completely unaware of it and continued to be upset, hesitating whether he should go and take a look.

What’s going on with Qiandie Wu?

While hesitating, he forced himself to let go.

If you really can't let go, you can only accept your fate.

Jimo Wuxuan entered the palace at night, and he was alone, but he was fearless. He followed the eunuch who led the way and came to a well-guarded and gorgeous palace in the palace. Every step he took was heavily guarded, so no matter who it was,

Anything you do here will be watched closely.

But the guards here all have a common characteristic: their expressions are dull, intangible and spiritless, like lifeless stones.

From the moment Jimo Wuxuan walked into this strange place, he had already made a bold guess in his mind. This old emperor was not as simple as he appeared.

Since the death of the queen, the old emperor has been "retiring from the world" and "not paying attention to worldly affairs." At first, he really thought that the old emperor was retired, but he did not expect that he was working secretly.

In fact, this is also a reasonable thing. After pursuing immortality for most of my life, how can I just give up?

It was already late at night, and the moonlight in the winter night sky was dim, accompanied by the cold wind and the constant ringing.

However, in such a cold weather, a large number of old emperors actually sat in the empty courtyard, letting the cold wind blow. There was nothing to protect them from the cold, only the lanterns carried by the palace maids and eunuchs.

The old emperor sat still, expressionless as he watched Jimo Wuxuan walking slowly. When Jimo Wuxuan was only five steps away from him, he spoke: "Jimo Wuxuan, you are a smart man, you should

You know the reason why I came to you, so I won’t say any more and just get straight to the point. I want the elixir of life in your hand."

"Why do you conclude that what I have in my hand must be the elixir of life?" Jimo Wuxuan did not kneel down and salute the old emperor. He stood five steps away and talked to him. There was no expression on his face, making it impossible for anyone to see him.

What are you thinking about at this moment?

The old emperor stood up, walked to Jimo Wuxuan, and said sinisterly in a threatening tone: "Whether what you are holding is the elixir of life or not, I will order it. I advise you to hand it over obediently, otherwise

The consequences will be serious."

"Oh, really?" Jimo Wuxuan smiled coldly, not believing that the old emperor had such ability.

The old emperor also knew Jimo Wuxuan's suspicion, and retorted with a sinister smile: "Can you try?"

"Do you want to use all the troops to fight against me? Don't forget, you are no longer the emperor. If you want to mobilize a large number of troops, you must get Xia Houyuan's consent. I don't think Xia Houyuan will do anything stupid."

"I'm not a fool, and of course I won't do such stupid things. If we use all the troops to deal with you, the border defense will not be protected."

"In addition to the army, what else can you use against me?"

"The one you love most."

The person I love the most - Hearing these four words, Jimo Wuxuan's expression suddenly changed. Worry and anxiety flashed through his heart, but he quickly suppressed it. He kept calm and did not let himself get confused and sneer.

Asked: "Are you sure you can touch the person I love the most?"

Diewu is surrounded by Tiangang, Earthly Evil, and Fairy Yun, and with the many guards in Mo Castle, no one can easily touch her, so the emperor's words are just to scare him.

"Of course I'm sure."

"Oh, really?"

"Jimo Wuxuan, you should never, never should, be too self-righteous, let alone be emotional. Mo Castle is indeed powerful, rich and difficult to deal with, but Qiandiewu is your fatal weakness.

As long as you have her in my hands, you will become my puppet, and you must do whatever I ask you to do."

"You are the one who is self-righteous, don't talk so shamelessly here." Jimo Wuxuan didn't believe what the old emperor said, but he was inexplicably worried in his heart.

The old emperor took another step forward, came to Jimo Wuxuan, and whispered darkly in his ear: "You appear here, and you can't have the final say in anything that happens next."

"What's the meaning?"

"You think you can escape unscathed when you enter the palace alone. This is self-righteousness. Do you really think you can go back?" The old emperor's words became more and more sinister. After saying the last word, he suddenly gestured to the guard next to him,

Then quickly back away and stand aside.

Immediately afterwards, the dull-looking guards nearby came up and surrounded Jimo Wuxuan.

Jimo Wuxuan was as steady as a mountain. He was not nervous or panicked because he was surrounded. He scanned the guards surrounding him, looking for a breakthrough. But at this glance, he suddenly found that these people surrounding him had no life breath.

The distance just now was quite far and the weather was cold and gloomy. He didn't notice that these people were lifeless. Now when he saw them up close, he saw that these people were just like dead people, but their bodies were being controlled.

The guards who gathered around did not take action immediately, but stood still, as if waiting for orders.

Seeing that the advantage was on his side, the old emperor mocked proudly: "Jimo Wuxuan, if you take out the medicine obediently, I can pretend that nothing happened and let you go back to reunite with your family. Otherwise...

..”

"Otherwise?" Jimo Wuxuan didn't have any intention of compromising. He caught the faint light, looked at the scene environment carefully, and was ready to fight.

If he guessed correctly, the guards around him are already living dead, and their actions are controlled by others. Even if they are killed, they can continue to fight. Even if their limbs and heads are cut off, they can still move, unless they are controlled behind the scenes.

Wear a uniform, otherwise these people will never be defeated.

He had calculated everything, but he failed to calculate that the old emperor would have living dead. If Mo Castle was attacked by such living dead, the consequences would be disastrous.

Jimo Wuxuan was worried about Qian Diewu's safety again. He didn't want to waste any more time and planned to make a quick decision and go back to protect the most important people.

But if the living dead doesn't take action, he can't act rashly.

The old emperor smiled, took a living dead's knife, cut a wound on the living dead, and said proudly: "Jimo Wuxuan, you are knowledgeable, you should know where these people are. They won't feel it.

It hurts, but the fighting ability is very strong, it can be ignored

Fight day and night, even if you are exhausted, they will not be tired. Ever since the Queen's rebellion, I have realized the importance of strength, so during this time I created these living dead, and they will only obey

Orders will never be betrayed."

"Why do I have to fight these living dead? They are controlled by people from behind. Although they are powerful in combat, their movements are not flexible. If I want to escape, they will never be able to stop me."

"Escape, this doesn't seem to be what you, Jimo Wuxuan, would do, right?"

"Your Majesty, it seems that you still don't know me well enough. I'm not a general, a warrior, or a knight-errant. I'm just a businessman. Businessmen only do things that are profitable, and they would never do it without them. Fighting these living dead, right?

I have no benefit at all, do you think I will still fight? Let me tell you one more thing, the provoking method is ineffective on me."

The method of stimulating generals failed, and the old emperor felt a little angry. Because he was anxious to get the elixir of life, he stopped whining and angrily threatened Jimo Wuxuan, "Bring me the elixir of life, otherwise I will let you die without a burial."

Earth. Not only you, your beloved woman, your biological brother, and the entire people in Mo Castle, I will let them die in an ugly way."

"Do you think these living dead can really do what you want?"

"Of course not. No matter how powerful the living dead are, their numbers are limited. The living dead in my hands are not enough to fight against the entire Mo Castle, but..."

"But what?"

"But I just need to trap you. I have sent people to release the news, saying that you are imprisoned by me in the palace and your life will be in danger at any time. Qian Diewu will be very anxious when she gets this news, and then she will

Come to the palace to beg Xia Houyuan, and then she can become my hostage. Haha..." The old emperor was too eager for success, and accidentally revealed the entire plan.

Jimo Wuxuan originally wanted to act according to the plan, but there were too many unexpected things, and he no longer planned to act according to the plan. He jumped up and climbed onto the roof, intending to escape from the palace.

But as soon as he got on the roof, someone immediately pulled a big cover towards him, and he was forced to jump back to the ground helplessly, and then jumped in the other direction.

But someone also stretched it in the other direction, and it was not an ordinary one, but made of golden silk, with countless needles on it. Those needles were probably smeared with poison and should not be touched.

Jimo Wuxuan couldn't escape from the yard, so he had to go back to the original place and think of another way, but he didn't panic yet and kept calm.

Only when you are calm can you think of good solutions.

What does it taste like?

Just when Jimo Wuxuan was thinking of a way, he suddenly smelled a very strange smell, like the fragrance of flowers, but also like the smell of blood. What's even weirder is that after smelling this smell, his body seemed to feel a little...

Out of control.

What's going on?

At this moment, the old emperor suddenly laughed and said: "Haha...Jimo Wuxuan, do you have this day too? Stop struggling in vain. Soon, you will become like these living dead and become a weapon in my hands."

String puppet, not only will the elixir of life be mine, but the wealth of Mo Castle will also be mine, haha..."
