Lin Qiye frowned slightly. He pulled open a corner of his collar and saw the only two remaining [Covenant] marks on his chest, which were emitting a faint glow.

【Covenant】Any reaction?

Lin Qiye was startled and stood up immediately. At this moment, a figure knocked on the door and walked in:

"Dear guests, the guests next door have left. How about we go directly next door before the snacks are served?"

"Oh? That's good too."

When Yan Zhong saw this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Under his command, the other dancers left the private room and walked to the next door. At the same time, the burning sensation in Lin Qiye's chest gradually subsided, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

What's going on? Lin Qiye's eyes were full of confusion.

[Covenant] suddenly moved, and he thought the second [Covenant] was about to be activated, but before he was ready, the burning feeling disappeared?

Lin Qiye glanced around and saw a few men of exotic appearance, leading a figure wearing a bamboo hat, walking out of the town. The moment he saw the figure, his pupils shrank slightly.

Is it her? !

"Brother Qiye, let's go to another place. It's just the right time now..." Yan Zhong was halfway through his words when Lin Qiye suddenly turned around and rushed downstairs!

"Brother Qiye? Brother Qiye?!"

"You take Wuquan first! I have something to do!"

Lin Qiye's voice was heard, and a shadow whizzed through the dance studio. The strong wind blew up the corners of the nearby dancers' clothes, causing the guests to sigh.

Yan Zhong looked at Lin Qiye's departing back blankly, hesitated for a long time, turned around and asked Wu Quan:

"Who on earth is Brother Qiye's wife? She could actually scare him to such an extent... Alas, I didn't think it through and caused Brother Qiye trouble."

Wuquan: ...

…

On Chang'an Avenue.

The dim setting sun shone on the ancient eaves. The originally endless stream of pedestrians on the street gradually became scarce, and the street shops began to close their stalls. Several missionaries were walking on one side of the street and began to burp.

"If there were no curfew, Chang'an, a huge city, would be much more lively, right?" A missionary sighed as he glanced at the increasingly deserted streets around him.

"After leaving Chang'an, I don't know when I can encounter such a prosperous city again."

"Unfortunately, this is not the place for us after all."

As the missionaries sighed, the red-haired girl raised her head slightly, looking at a red star that was gradually becoming more dazzling in the dim sky, and frowned...

"That star...seems to be getting closer."

Song——!!

A shadow flew over from behind, and the red-haired girl's face under the hat changed, and she turned her head suddenly to look behind her.

"who?!"

Several missionaries quickly surrounded the red-haired girl, their muscles tensed and their eyes full of vigilance!

The afterimage that was flying across the street stopped. Lin Qiye stared at the figure wearing a bamboo hat and walked towards them without changing his expression.

“Such a strong aura…” Sensing the terrifying fluctuations emanating from Lin Qiye, the red-haired girl’s face froze, “Who are you? What do you want to do?”

"Chloe."

Lin Qiye pulled down a corner of his collar, revealing two glowing [Holy Testaments], and spoke slowly:

"We need to talk."

…

The Imperial Palace.

Inside the palace.

After listening to Huo Qubing's narration, the figure on the dragon throne raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"You have quelled the border unrest within two months. You are worthy of being my Champion Marquis!" Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, said with a smile, "In this way, those villains will no longer dare to collude with the Xiongnu, and our Han Dynasty can enjoy peace for several more years... Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"This is my duty, no reward is needed." Huo Qubing paused for a moment, "Besides, the world is in turmoil now, I am afraid I cannot accept the reward with peace of mind..."

"Oh?" Emperor Wu of Han narrowed his eyes slightly, "You noticed it too?"

"To be honest, the reason why I led the army to march thousands of miles back to Chang'an without sleep was because we were harassed by a large number of evil spirits." Huo Qubing raised his head, his eyes were extremely solemn, "Your Majesty, what exactly is that evil star?"

Emperor Wu of Han was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on the side, and he slowly said:

"Cai Yuan, please repeat what you just told me."

Inside this hall, in addition to Emperor Wu of Han and Huo Qubing, there was another figure in official uniform. He was already here before Huo Qubing entered the hall.

"Yes." Cai Yuan took two steps forward and said respectfully, "I am Cai Yuan, the Director of the Imperial Observatory. I am honored to meet you, Lord Marquis."

Huo Qubing looked at him in surprise: "I remember the director of the Imperial Observatory...isn't he Fang Yi?"

"Lord Fang... hanged himself in the Imperial Observatory fifteen days ago." Cai Yuan said bitterly.

"Suicide?"

“Fifteen days ago, Lord Fang and I were observing the sky at night and discovered a red star in the night sky. We were puzzled… Lord Fang used a secret method to deduce the celestial phenomenon, and then he suddenly started talking nonsense and dancing wildly, as if he had lost his mind.

We had to work very hard to hold down Lord Fang, and when we saw him fall asleep, we thought he had returned to normal, but we never expected that he would wake up again in the middle of the night and go crazy, and hang himself with a rope..."

Hearing this, Huo Qubing's face turned grim. He was acquainted with Fang Yi, the previous director of the Imperial Observatory. He knew Fang Yi's character well. How could such a mature and steady man suddenly go crazy and hang himself at home?

"He was talking nonsense? What did he say?"

"Lord Fang was slurring his words after he went crazy, so I couldn't hear him clearly... I only heard a few words, 'They are coming', 'the forerunner of destruction', 'premonition', 'death star', 'like a gap...'"

Huo Qubing looked at Emperor Wu of Han in confusion, and the latter nodded slightly at him with a sullen face.

"So, those evil riots were caused by the 'Death Star' that Lord Fang mentioned? That red star is the 'Death Star'?" Huo Qubing asked.

"That's right." Cai Yuan continued, "At dawn today, a meteor broke apart from the red star and fell to the earth... Lord Chen, who originally replaced Lord Fang as the temporary supervisor, once again deduced the celestial phenomenon, and the result was..."

"What was the result?"

"His fate is exactly the same as Lord Fang's." Cai Yuan's face turned pale, his eyes full of bitterness, "Two consecutive directors of my Imperial Observatory died suddenly under that red star. It is precisely because of this that I took over the positions of the two masters and temporarily served as the director."

"Did Master Chen say anything before he passed away?"

Cai Yuan opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke hoarsely:

"In addition to what Lord Fang said... Lord Chen also said that when the red star splits the sky, chaos will occur, and within a day, all lives will be destroyed!!"

Cai Yuan's voice echoed in the huge hall, and Huo Qubing's pupils contracted violently.
