Chapter 202 Leaving

General Chen looked at his hands in disbelief, as drops of blood dripped onto his clothes.

The Emperor of Beimang opened his eyes wide and stared at him, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"I actually... killed the Emperor of Beimang?"

His voice was full of disbelief and his hands couldn't stop shaking.

Feng Tianning walked forward and patted his shoulder soothingly:

"It's all over."

"Your obsession has also dissipated."

General Chen's face showed a hint of relief, and he stared into the distance.

"Thank you very much."

He threw the Emperor of Beimang to the ground and walked towards the prince who was trembling in the corner with his sword.

"Since he's dead, there's no need for you to live."

Before the prince could even utter a word of plea, General Chen pierced his chest with a sword.

He stared blankly at the bloody hole on his chest and fell to the ground with unwillingness in his eyes.

General Chen threw his sword to the ground and kowtowed solemnly to Feng Tianning and the other two.

"My fellow immortals, I leave the grievances of my sister and my wife in your care."

"One day when I go to Yama Palace, I will definitely sing praises of your achievements."

His voice became weaker and weaker, as if it would disappear at any moment.

Xuan Gou Chen and Qin Guan wanted to say something, but soon General Chen's body slowly dissipated and turned into a puff of white smoke.

"Tian Ning, will his soul fly away?"

Feng Tianning thought for a moment and nodded.

"He accumulated virtue and did good deeds in his lifetime. He should have been married to a good family and enjoyed happiness in the next life."

"But he created this dream after his death, and implicated many innocent people."

"Now, what awaits him... is only the eighteen levels of hell."

Xuan Gou Chen opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Just as they were sighing, the surroundings suddenly began to shake violently.

The air seemed to be torn apart, and they had to hold on to the wall to barely stand.

After shaking for an unknown amount of time, the Beimang Imperial Palace in front of them gradually began to collapse, and the rest of the palace people also turned into white smoke and disappeared.

Noticing their puzzled looks, Feng Tianning explained calmly:

"These people were not dragged into the dream by General Chen. They were simply created by his imagination, so they will disappear."

"But the people of Xuancheng were actually pulled in. After the dream dissipates, they will return to their original places."

As soon as the words fell, there was a flash of white light and they lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the faces of Pei Duyan and Fu Ruxuan.

Xuan Gou Chen blinked in confusion:

"Why are you here?"

"Where are we now? Have we left the dream?"

Pei Duyan looked at her in confusion:

"Dream?"

"No wonder the three of you fainted on the streets of Xuancheng. It turns out you went to a dream."

Feng Tianning briefly recounted the story of General Chen, which resulted in silence from everyone.

After a long while, Fu Ruxuan gritted her teeth and said:

"I thought Emperor Cang Xuan was already a jerk enough, but I didn't expect the Northern Mang royal family to be even worse."

"Aren't they afraid of chilling the hearts of their subjects by doing this?"

Xuan Gou Chen sneered and said indignantly:

"They only care about imperial power and pleasure. How could they take a small general seriously?"

The room fell silent again, and Feng Tianning asked with some doubt:

"Why did you show up in Xuancheng and bring us here?"

Pei Duyan coughed lightly:

"After you caused all that trouble in Northern Mang, Emperor Cang Xuan regarded the two of us as his lifeline."

"I guessed you might come to Xuancheng, so I told Emperor Cangxuan that I would come to the front lines myself."

"A man like him was afraid that we would run away, but he didn't dare to disobey us, so he had no choice but to send someone to follow us to Xuancheng."

"What about the people following us?" Qin Guan was a little worried.

Fu Ruxuan smiled mysteriously and pointed to a corner not far away.

"I drugged them."

Feng Tianning followed their gaze and saw several men in black lying on the ground with their limbs spread out.

"Tianning, we discovered something was wrong when we arrived in Xuancheng. This isn't a prosperous border town at all, but..."

"A deserted city."

"When we arrived, we searched the entire city, but we only saw the three of you fainted on the side of the road."

Feng Tianning nodded. The people of Xuancheng had already been pulled into General Chen’s dream, so it was normal that no one was there.

"Normal, those people should have returned by now."

Pei Duyan said seriously:

"There's more to this than just this."

"A city has been empty for ten years, and no one has noticed. Not even the two emperors, who have all-powerful connections, know anything about it."

"Just now you said that General Chen died in the capital of Beimang, and was killed by the emperor. Then why hasn't a new general taken office in all these years?"

Pei Duyan's words made the others frown.

That’s right, it’s totally wrong.

The Emperor of Beimang actually left a military stronghold like Xuancheng unguarded, which was totally out of character for him.

When he asked Feng Tianning to come to Xuancheng, it didn't seem like he was faking it. He seemed to really think that General Chen was still guarding this place.

It was as if they had... forgotten that General Chen was dead.

They looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"Inspector Feng, you just said that after General Chen died, someone told him that he could create a dream."

"I think this person is behind everything, making everyone forget that General Chen is dead."

Qin Guan asked with some confusion:

"What is his purpose?"

Pei Duyan shook his head, he didn't understand it either.

Who could have concealed the truth for ten years and let everyone know that General Chen was still alive?

"Instead of guessing here, why don't we just ask the Emperor of Beimang directly?"

"See if he still remembers what happened back then."

Xuan Gou Chen nodded in agreement:

"That's right. After all, we promised him that we would avenge his family, so we should go find the other parties involved."

Seeing that they all said this, Feng Tianning had no objection.

She took out a teleportation talisman and placed it at everyone's feet. The next moment, they appeared in the imperial study of the Emperor of Beimang.

"Is it you?"

The Emperor of Beimang was surprised for a moment, his eyes lit up and he said:

"Is it done?"

"Xuancheng has been breached?"

Feng Tianning looked at him coldly, and spoke after a long time:

“Never been breached.”

A hint of understanding flashed across the face of the Beimang Emperor, and he smiled with some complacency:

"I knew that Emperor Cang Xuan was not so easy to deceive. He must have sent a large army to garrison Xuancheng."

"I have already sent a large army to Hancheng, which is the best place to conquer the Great Cang Kingdom."

Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Xuan Gou Chen narrowed his eyes and said:

"There is no large army in Xuancheng."

"Then why..."

"General Chen, the commander stationed in Xuancheng, is dead."
