Chapter 2144 [Superior Evil] Less than a thousand

On this day, the emperor was planning with his soldiers in the camp until the moon reached its zenith. After everyone left, the emperor sat alone in the tent, his hand on his forehead to relieve the pain in his brain. Suddenly, a soldier outside the door called out,

"Captain Marshal, you are not allowed to enter without permission. Who are you? Why is there a woman in the barracks?"

Chang Sun Chi frowned slightly, but did not open his eyes. He only heard a familiar female voice.

"I...I am Miss Xia's maid, and I want to ask the emperor something."

·

Chang Sun Chi opened his eyes instantly and said,

"Let her in."

The soldiers let them pass, the tent was opened, and someone slowly walked in.

Chang Sun Chi looked up at the newcomer with a cold expression.

"What's up?"

The person who came was Fu Yan who had followed Xia Fuyi all the way. She knelt down without raising her head, her voice trembling.

"I, I want to ask the emperor why Miss Fuyi hasn't returned yet?"

Chang Sun Chi frowned.

"She has a mission, to scout the terrain."

"But Miss Fuyi said,"

Fu Yan mustered up the courage to look up slightly, looking at the man's handsome face. She still felt her heart beating, but it was suppressed by more worries and turned into a faint bitterness.

"Miss Fuyi told me before she left that she would be back in three days at most."

Chang Sun Chi's heart moved slightly, he suppressed his ominous premonition and said calmly,

"Perhaps we encountered other good terrain along the way, which delayed us."

"No,"

Fu Yan answered with certainty,

"Miss Fuyi didn't want to leave in the first place. She...she didn't want to leave your side for even a moment. Even if there were other things that attracted her, she would never stay. But now five days have passed, and she hasn't come back...I think..."

She lowered her head and could not see Changsun Chi's expression, so she didn't know that the emperor's face had turned cold at this moment. Panic gradually filled in his light-colored pupils, but was quickly suppressed by his strong will.

He sat expressionlessly, looking down at the people who were bowing deeply below.

"If I remember correctly, you poisoned her before. How can I trust you?"

Fu Yan trembled slightly, and her voice also trembled.

"I... If I dared to lie to the Emperor, I would be at your mercy. Initially, I was possessed by the devil, thinking about the wrong person, and even wanted to attack Miss Fuyi. But later, when I was dying, Miss Fuyi saved my life regardless of past grudges. Although Fuyan is just a lowly person, I have to keep this favor in my heart."

"You better not be lying."

Chang Sun Chi stood up, gave her a cold look, and strode out the door.

Another two days passed.

It was still a scorching desert in the morning, but it suddenly started raining in the afternoon.

The completely sealed canyon was filled with an indescribable stench of decay, and even the heavy rain could not dispel the smell at all.

Lian Tang and Qingze leaned against the stone wall, listening to the sound of weapons clashing and the men's constant wailing and screaming. They looked at each other and saw the unconcealable worry and faint fear in each other's eyes.

"what to do?"

Lian Tang opened his mouth, but no sound came out from his cracked lips.

They were all almost completely exhausted, but the man inside seemed to be getting more and more excited about killing over the past two days. At the beginning, he used the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin, but when there were fewer and fewer people, he began to enter the battlefield himself, and started a massacre like a wolf among a flock of sheep. There were even signs of him becoming possessed.

Qingze gritted his teeth and asked,

"How many people are left?"

Lian Tang shook his head.

"Less than a thousand."
