The Princess And The Lord

Lao Min Na didn't say much as she followed Lazarus, she saw gray smoke rising but not from the Heaven's Gate area but from the direction of the capital, Lao Min Na saw the sky around the capital was stained with dark gray smoke and the howl of beasts permeated to the sky making the atmosphere brimmed with horror, it dawned to Lao Min Na's mind that they were nearing the end of the world.

"Beautiful isn't it" Lazarus suddenly said, his eyes sparkling with joy "Where else can you see such a rousing sight as this" he opened his arms wide while throwing a satisfied look at Lao Min Na.

"Is it really all over?" Lao Min Na feel conflicted.

Lazarus tilted his head and smirked "For this world? it is." he said casually then gracefully lasped his hands behind his back then once again cast his gaze towards the capital then turned towards Yin Shan mountain "The fate of this world has been determined for a very very long time, although some people try to change the result but you can't win against fate, you can delay it for some time but in the end the result remains the same and what's left for you is just...rage"

Lazarus's voice was cold and deadened and his gaze went through her like a blast of Ice, Lao Min Na hesitated for a momenf but then she brace herself to ask "The God...why you hate them so much"

Lazarus' yellow eyes widened for a moment before a faint amused quiver spread across his lips "Because they took everything from me but I'm fine with it then one day they kindly gave me one thing I never asked for and when it became an important part of me, suddenly they took it from me as if it was a joke...." her shoulders shook from boiling anger and a sinister grin spread on his face "Since they like to joke then I will show you how I destroy everything they love, this world, and the humans I will destroy without a trace and see who laughs last." Lazarus lets out a raucous laugh while Lao Min Na watched him silently.

In a meantime the city was flooded with hundreds of Hybrid Beasts big and small including numerous critters terrorizing the streets causing people screamed and ran for their lives, many of them stumbling and pushing each other to save themselves, while women and children cried in desperation as the dark creatures slaughtered them like weeds.

Imperial army try to fend off but without spirit weapons or knowledgeable refining Qi they are no match for dark creatures, sadly they only serve their heads on silver plates for the dark creatures. Thankfully Hei Shen, Jiu Yun, Sword Saint sect and other sect join hands to fight against the dark creatures, not long after Tian Meng Ji, Mu Jan Ge and few people from Misty Lake come join the fight, among them the third elder,  the fifth elder and the Su family also come to join hands besides they have score to setle with Lao Min Na so aof course they have to come.

Chaos was not only happening in the capital but also in Cang Lan's imlerial palaces, they were shocked by the immerging of horrible creatures inside the palaces adding the worst situatiin some people suddenly went crazy and attacked each other.

Emperor Cang Lan who saw this panicked, he was immediately protected by the royal elite troops and escorted to safety, the frightened old officials followed the emperor as they all expecting protection from the royal special forces but unfortunately the soldiers are no match of the hedious creatures, instantly dozens of royal special soldiers died pathetically along with the desperate cries of those who depended on them.

Fear engulfs them as the creatures chase them madly. The smell of blood permeated the air sending a chill down everyone's back, no one knew how or why this happened, none of them would have thought this was all the result of the medicine they had worked so hard to pay the Heaven's Gate sect thingking this medicine would give them strength and longevity, well this medicine would indeed have that effect but not what they thought as they all turn into atrocious creatures or fall in madness.

in the midst of a helpless situation suddenly dozens of men in dark clothes appeared fromthe air and then swiftly slaughtered all these vile creatures without giving time for the creatures to heal themselves. In no time most of the creatures were repelled and then one of the men in black approached the trembling emperor without anyone daring to stop him.

The man stops his pace right before the Emperor without saluting him and the man nonchalantly introduces himself: "I'm Mong Liu, I'm from the Hei Shen sect. I came to explain the situation" Mong Liu said calmly while the other men with black clothes continue slaying the hexious creatures.

"You are...Long Ming's people?" The Emperor looked at Mong Liu in shock and his doubt grew, "Why are you helping me?" the emperor looked at him in disbelive, it was normal to have doubts because all this time he had given his full support to the Heaven Gate sect and Wei Zu Tian to put pressure on Long Ming and Hei Shen sect.

Mong Liu sneered, would his Lord care about what Emperor Cang Lang had done if Milord wanted to, he could kill the Emperor any time he wanted, however he didn't  go that far because the  Lord know the young madam would not approve of his actions as it would bring the whole kingdom into chaos which would hurted the innocent citizen of Chang Lan Kingdom.

"I don't care whether you believe what I say or not, but just so you know the Heaven's Gate sect has teamed up with the Devil that Lao Min Na brought to destroy the world, however, we managed to destroy the Heaven's Gate sect and our master has killed Wei Zu Tian and now young madam and our Lord are trying to stop Lao Min Na and that demon but untill they suceed we must work together to stop all these dark creatures from destroying the world"

Mong Liu's explanation was clear and brief he had no time to waste with the emperor he only helped the emperor cause the emperor have the highest authority in the kingdom so why not used him.

Mong Liu was in the middle contemplating his next moves so he didn't notice that there were faces paled with fear, some couldn't even stand on their knees and their bodies shaking violently.

not long after a man in black approached Mong Liu "We managed to kill almost all the Critters in this area but few of our brothers spread out to make sure the situation in the palace is safe"

Mong Liu nodded in satisfaction, "Good, we still need the royal family to govern the city, how about the Yu Jin city?" he asked.

"With everyone working together, we managed to hold back, however, more Hybrid Beasts and Critters are coming, it seems Lao Min Na managed to hide a number of dark creatures more than we thought" the man sighed in frustration.

Mong Liu gritted his teeth, "That evil woman purposely let us think we had destroyed many of hybrid beast dens to distract us while she kept more hybrid beasts elsewhere, I hate to admit that we had been toyed all this time!" Mong Li face was Hot with shammed and disappointment

"Are you sure this really what Lao Min Na did?" The Emperor suddenly interrupted. He had seen Lao Min Na before and it was hard to believe that such a beautiful woman was the one who responsible for all this this disaster and what about the Demon they were talking about, it's that even real?

Mong Liu and the other shadow guards turned their heads towards the emperor, their expression even showing that they forgot the emperor and all his subjects were there.

Normally the emperor would take this offense seriously but today was not the same, the emperor himself might as well not notice their impoliteness.

Mong Liu then shrugged nonchalantly, "I think you will be able to figure it out yourself." Mong Liu then summoned a sword from his spatial ring.

Everyone was surprised that Mong Liu had a spatial ring that was usually only given to high-ranking people, could it be that Mong Liu might have an important position in Hei Shen but their estimates were immediately erased when someone else summoned some protective talismans from his ring then throws them into the air and the talisman automatically attaches to every wall therefore now the area is protected.

Their eyes immediately widened in shock, they all wonder if all members of Hei Shen have spatial rings of course the answer is 'yes', especially when fighting Lazarus and Lao Min Na approaching everyone was given spatial rings to store sufficient supplies to deal with emergency situations.

Mong Liu didn't ignore them, he then hands the sword right in front of the emperor "This is a special sword made to kill those monsters if you fight with this sword you will able to killed them but it's all up to you, you can hide in your palace or you can take this sword and fight with your people for your people, for once in your life you will protect your kingdom and your people just like your ancestors was."

Mong Liu's words shook the emperor's heart to the core, the emperor stare at the shining sword in Mong Liu's hand, his hands trembled as he slowly reached the sword but the official quickly stopped the emperor and they all shouted anxiously: "No, Your Majesty this is crazy, this is too dangerous!"

"Your Majesty, you can waste your life like this!"

"Please consider it again, your majesty!" the official begged and banged their head on the ground.

​ However, the truth was the official was afraid they would have to come out too in order to show their loyalty to the emperor otherwise people would criticize them later.

The emperor gulped, needless to say hewas also scared how could he not when a few minutes ago he was running away from all those creatures.

Realizing the Emperor's hesitation Mong Liu then spoke in a solemn voice, "My madam once said that the great king should be a strength when his people are weak, guide them when they lost and when hope seems to wither the King should become the beacon of hope of their people"

The emperor clenched his jaw, and the emperor grabbed the sword from Ming Liu's hand firmly despite the officials' attempts to stop him. when he saw the shining sword in his hand, a feeling he had long forgotten suddenly ignited within him, a feeling of honor, pride, and an overwhelming sense of responsibility to protect his kingdom. He realized that he was not a good emperor or even a man, but today only once would he become what his ancestors wanted him to be.

The emperor tightened his grip on the sword then he looked at Mong Liu "Young madam is Long Ming's wife right, who is she?" the emperor's curiosity piqued, for a woman who could make those words was definitely not an ordinary woman.

Mong Liu smiled proudly then said "Madam....no, her majesty has become our beacon of hope and our Lord will protect that hope"
