You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 431 Do you really want your hometown to become like the White and Red Empire?

The royal city of the Dajing Empire was like a volcano about to erupt, with depression and anger filling the air.

People gathered in groups, their faces flushed with excitement, their eyes full of dissatisfaction and fear of the current situation.

The protesting crowd rushed towards the Queen's palace like a surging tide. Their slogans and shouts intertwined together, shaking the air slightly.

They held high homemade banners filled with questions to Queen Ji Shengyue, and walked quickly and firmly, wanting to express their anger to the queen.

Just when the people were about to reach the palace, something unexpected happened.

The sky seemed to be covered with a huge black curtain by an invisible giant hand, and it turned dark without any warning.

The originally azure blue sky disappeared, replaced by a thick, inky cloud. The cloud was so low that it seemed to be within reach, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

At the same time, the air seemed to be stirred violently by a demon's hand, and instantly filled with a pungent, nauseating, strong smell of blood.
The smell was so heavy that it was almost hard to breathe, as if the whole world was soaked in blood.

From the depths of the dark and thick black clouds, there was a constant sound of flapping wings, again and again, with a strange rhythm, like the countdown clock of death, constantly echoing in people's hearts.

The people looked up in horror, their eyes wide open, trying to see through the rolling black clouds and see clearly what was flapping its wings in them.

Their eyes were filled with fear and confusion. They kept blinking and some even rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen it wrong.

No matter how hard they tried, all they could see was the endless, terrifying dark clouds.

……

At this moment, inside the palace, the atmosphere was equally solemn and suffocating.

Ye Lingyun, the patriarch of the vampire family, with an innate arrogance and elegant yet cold steps, quietly appeared in the palace leading the high-ranking members of the vampire family.

In the palace's main hall, the luxurious decorations seemed particularly dazzling in this tense atmosphere.

Ji Shengyue sat upright on the throne, her posture still maintaining the dignity of a queen, but her eyes could not hide the panic.

She stared at Ye Lingyun, with anger and reluctance in her eyes.

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and he said loudly: "Ye Lingyun, I remember you, you are also a citizen of our Dajing Empire.

Back then, you followed Chu He and left the Dajing Empire.
But your home is here, and all your relatives and friends are here.

Do you really want your hometown to become like the White and Red Empire?

Let all the people become vampires like you, and only live by drinking blood?"

Ji Shengyue's words were full of questions, trying to arouse Ye Lingyun's attachment to his hometown.
Her hands unconsciously clenched the armrests of the throne, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Ye Lingyun stood in the center of the hall, her posture upright, her black robe fluttering gently in the wind, making her face look even paler than before.

She raised her chin slightly, a cold light flashed in her eyes, a scornful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she responded mercilessly: "I thought you would change after going through so many things, but I didn't expect you to be as arrogant as before."

Ye Lingyun's voice was crisp but cold, and every word was like a sharp knife stabbing into Ji Shengyue's heart.

As she spoke, she gently raised her hand and tidied the hair by her ear.
The action seemed casual, but it was full of disdain for Ji Shengyue.

When Ji Shengyue heard this, he fell silent.

She lowered her head slightly, her brows furrowed, her heart in turmoil.

She was not at a loss because of Ye Lingyun's words.

Instead, he keenly heard from Ye Lingyun's words her firm and unshakable mind.

In Ji Shengyue's memory, Ye Lingyun was always just an insignificant little person.

She never thought of investigating further.
Why did Ye Lingyun choose to follow Chu He and leave the Dajing Empire?

He never cared whether Ye Lingyun had any feelings for the Dajing Empire.

After all, in her eyes, Ye Lingyun couldn't cause any trouble.

Until now, when Ye Lingyun appeared in front of her again,

Ji Shengyue was surprised to find that this little character whom she had neglected,
Now he has grown into a powerful being that she is unable to contend with.

Even though Ji Shengyue had spent a lot of effort to cultivate it,
Xiao Cangqing, the new national guardian god of war who was to replace Chu He,

At this moment, he could only follow Ye Lingyun obediently like a humble servant, with his head slightly lowered, not daring to look directly into Ye Lingyun's eyes. This made Ji Shengyue feel extremely shocked and desperate.

"You can roll off the throne now. From now on, I will have the final say over the entire Dajing Empire."

Ye Lingyun said bluntly, her voice echoing in the empty hall, full of unquestionable majesty.

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, each step steady and powerful.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of vampire family members walked in from outside the hall.

They walked in unison, exuding a chilling aura.

Every member of the vampire family held a freshly chopped-off head in his hand.
Blood kept dripping from the broken neck, splashing blood on the smooth ground and soon dyeing the ground red.

Ji Shengyue's eyes swept over the heads, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was filled with shock and grief.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

She recognized every head. They were the members of the think tank that she had carefully cultivated later. These people had been her right-hand men in governing the country and had given her advice and suggestions. But now, without exception, they had all died at the hands of this group of vampires.

Looking at the bloody scene in front of him, Ji Shengyue felt a deep despair in his heart.

Her eyes became empty, her body trembled slightly, and her lips lost their color.

At this moment, she felt hopeless and completely understood that there was no chance of a comeback for her.

The once glorious Dajing Empire gradually declined in her hands, and now it is about to fall into the control of the vampire family.

Countless images flashed through her mind, including the high spirits when she ascended the throne and the various efforts she made to consolidate her rule, but all of these came to nothing at this moment.

She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down, but tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of her eyes.

……

The Dajing Empire is a place where prosperity and decay are intertwined.

The towering city walls bear witness to its past glory, but the streets are also filled with an air of decay.

Beneath this seemingly calm surface, a thrilling power storm is quietly brewing.

In the Lighthouse Empire, the vampire family used their extraordinary wisdom and ruthless means to weave a huge network of business empires.

Those multinational corporations and financial conglomerates are all tools for them to make money. The wealth they have accumulated and the influence they have created have long been beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Now, for them, it is a piece of cake to take over the high-level ruling power of the Dajing Empire.

The palace of the Dajing Empire was once the pinnacle symbol of power.
Now, it is completely enveloped by the eerie atmosphere of the vampire family. Inside the palace, the luxury remains, and the dazzling crystal chandeliers cast dazzling light, but they cannot dispel the depression and fear that permeates the air.

Ye Lingyun sat lazily on the throne that originally belonged to Ji Shengyue, with her legs elegantly crossed and a ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg in her hands.

The gem turned on her fingertips, and the reflected light was reflected in the disdainful sneer on the corner of her mouth.

The Dajing Empire has become a plaything in her hands, and everything is under her control.

The high-ranking members of the vampire family indulged themselves in the palace, enjoying the pleasure brought by power.

They were lazily lying on the soft velvet sofas, holding a top-quality red wine from a Bordeaux winery in their hands. The rich aroma of the wine filled the air, but it could not conceal their inner greed.

Or they would gather in groups of three or five, whispering about how to further exploit the resources of the Dajing Empire. From land and minerals to taxes on the people, everything was within their calculations.

In their eyes, the people of the Dajing Empire were nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered, completely powerless to resist.

And Ji Shengyue, the once glorious queen, is now just a puppet at the mercy of others and has no dignity at all.

Her eyes were filled with resentment and anger; her former pride and confidence had been completely worn away.

Forced to sit next to Ye Lingyun, like a soulless puppet, he mechanically obeyed Ye Lingyun's instructions and tremblingly signed documents that pushed the Dajing Empire into the abyss.

Every time she put pen to paper, she felt as if she was burying the country's future bit by bit with her own hands, but she had no choice but to endure it silently, secretly swearing in her heart that she must wait for the opportunity to fight back.

Under this seemingly calm power structure, a secret plan is quietly unfolding.

……

On a dark and windy night, the sky was covered with dark clouds. The thick clouds completely obscured the moon, and the whole world fell into darkness.

Raphael sneaked into the Dajing Empire silently like an agile night cat.

He cleverly avoided the numerous spies set up by the vampire family, and finally came to the palace. Through a secret passage that few people knew about, he successfully entered Ji Shengyue's bedroom.

Ji Shengyue was sitting on the edge of the bed, thinking worriedly about how to escape, when he suddenly saw a dark shadow flash by. He was startled and instinctively wanted to shout for help.

Seeing this, Raphael quickly stepped forward, put his index finger to his lips, made a gesture of silence, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't panic, I am here to help you."

Ji Shengyue looked at him with a puzzled look, and asked sternly, "Who are you? Why are you helping me? Do you know that I am just a prisoner of the vampire family now? I can't protect myself, so what can I do for you?"

Raphael bowed slightly, with an extremely sincere expression on his face, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I am Archbishop Raphael from the Holy See of Light.

We, the Holy See of Light, have been paying close attention to the situation in the Great Jing Empire.
I really can't bear to see you being bullied by the vampire family like this.

Although you are in a difficult situation, your influence in the Dajing Empire cannot be underestimated.

Think about it, your loyal subordinates, those people who still have deep feelings for the Great Jing Empire, as long as you give an order, they will go all out to restore the glory of the Great Jing Empire. "

Ji Shengyue's heart moved, but she knew very well that this world was full of conspiracy and betrayal, and easily trusting strangers would most likely bring about a catastrophic disaster.

She stared at Raphael coldly and asked, "Why did you, the Holy See of Light, suddenly intervene in the affairs of the Great Jing Empire? What substantive help can you provide me? I don't even have freedom now. Even if I have loyal subordinates, how can I accomplish anything?"

Raphael said calmly, "Your Majesty, our Holy See has always been committed to maintaining world peace and justice. The evil deeds of the vampire family have already seriously damaged the balance of the world.

We hope to help you drive away these evil creatures and restore the Dajing Empire to its former prosperity.

What we can provide is powerful strength.

We possess ancient magics and mysterious summonings that are powerful enough to defeat the vampire clan."

As he spoke, Raphael carefully took out an ancient book from his arms.

This ancient book exudes a mysterious glow, and the cover is engraved with strange symbols and patterns, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.

“This is a sacred object of our Holy See of Light, which contains powerful magic and summoning techniques.

As long as you follow the instructions above and help us build an altar in the Dajing Empire that can summon angels, when the angels descend, it will be the day when the vampire family will be destroyed.

By then, you will be back on the throne, and the Dajing Empire will be revitalized."

Raphael's voice was low and seductive, his eyes fixed on Ji Shengyue, trying to catch a hint of hesitation in her expression.

Ji Shengyue looked at the ancient book and felt a fierce struggle in his heart.

She knew that cooperating with the Holy See of Light was undoubtedly a gamble, but the current desperate situation left her with no choice.

She longed to regain power and restore the glory of the Dajing Empire.

After some careful consideration, Ji Shengyue finally raised his head, looked at Raphael firmly, and said, "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you.

But you must promise that after the success, you must continue to help me control the entire Dajing Empire."

Raphael was secretly proud in his heart, but he still had a kind smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. We in the Church of Light always keep our word. As long as the altar is built and the angel descends, everything will be as you wish."

……

After Ji Shengyue agreed to cooperate with Raphael, the two of them fell into intense and secret preparations. Every step was like walking on thin ice. If they made the slightest mistake, they would be discovered by the vampire family and bring about a catastrophic disaster.

In order to avoid the vampire family's dense and sharp ears and eyes, Ji Shengyue decided to choose helpers from the most loyal guards in the palace.

On a moonlit night, she quietly summoned several trusted guards to her bedroom on the pretext of discussing important matters. The guards filed in, each with a look of confusion and nervousness on their faces.

They knew very well that in this palace tightly controlled by the vampire family, any secret action could be fatal.

"Everyone, I called you here today to discuss a matter of great importance concerning the survival of the Great Jing Empire."

Ji Shengyue lowered his voice and scanned everyone's faces one by one: "You have all seen the evil deeds of the vampire family. Now, we have a chance, a chance to take back the rule of the empire and save the people."

The guards looked at each other, with shock and expectation in their eyes.

One of the older guards frowned and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, we are willing to serve you, but the vampire family is so powerful and has so many spies. How can we act without being discovered?"

Ji Shengyue sighed slightly, looked at Raphael, and motioned him to explain the plan.

Raphael stepped forward and whispered, "We need to build an altar in a remote mountainous area of ​​the Dajing Empire to summon the power of angels to fight against the vampire family. But the construction of this altar must be done in secret."

After hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.

Building an altar is easier said than done, and it is almost an impossible task to hide it from the vampire family.

But looking at Ji Shengyue's determined eyes, they felt a sense of mission in their hearts and expressed their willingness to do their best.

Preparing supplies is the first and also the most difficult step.

The supplies in the palace are under the strict surveillance of the vampire family, and every expenditure needs to be approved by Ye Lingyun.

Ji Shengyue thought hard and finally came up with a plan.
