tick...tick...

Cold sweat suddenly fell from his forehead drop by drop, and no one was except the old man.

The Soul Emperor who took the lead in the academy looked at the old man with fear and said in a low voice: "Retreat!"

They also heard what the old man said just now. Only two people were allowed to enter the village. It was enough after one of them died just now. If they took the initiative to kill those two people now.

Although there are many of them, the result may be the same as that of the person on the ground!

As the people from the college withdrew, the two murderers took a deep look at the old man and walked directly to the village without saying anything.

The old man lay leisurely under the tree, taking a sip of wine from time to time, as if nothing happened just now.

If there wasn't a corpse not far away, I wouldn't have believed that such a kind old man could kill so many people!

As for the two thugs who entered the village, one of them reported information from the beginning, clearly knowing the rules here.

"Brother, that old man just now..." The survivor asked in a low voice after noticing that there was no one around.

"Don't be so careful." The elder brother said casually. Although he was an old man in the village, he had never seen the old man at the entrance of the village take action. He had only heard about it.

Now I was a little surprised when I suddenly saw him. After he recovered, he returned to his original nature.

"Big brother, that old man at the village gate..." He asked again, but this time he didn't lower his voice deliberately.

"Huh..." The elder brother breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"You must have heard of the Holy Death Village?"

"Yes." He nodded, lowered his head slightly, and said while thinking about it in his mind: "This is the Holy Death Village. There are rumors outside that it was named after a Soul Saint died here. It is full of bad reputation inside. A distinguished person, and..."

After saying this, he hesitated and said uncertainly: "I also heard that some big shots kept weapons here in captivity to deal with problems that cannot be solved in ordinary times."

"Yes." The eldest brother nodded and said, "I heard all kinds of rumors before, and after staying there for a long time, I heard some more. After that, I didn't see anyone who dared to harass me, so I gradually forgot about it."

"But when I saw the old man take action today, I started to believe it." After saying this, the elder brother's face became more solemn and he continued:

"I heard that in the Holy Death Village, it was because a holy soul died and there were powerful forces behind it that no one dared to harass it."

"I also heard that there are two soul saints in the village, one is the old man at the entrance of the village just now, and the other is the owner of the teahouse in the center of the village..."

"The old man at the village gate is responsible for recording the number of people. He also crosses out the person after he has been out for a few days and hasn't come back..."

The elder brother talked about what he had heard in the past few years since he entered the Holy Death Village, while the other party listened quietly.

……

Late at night, in an unknown place, Emperor Zhao staggered forward unconsciously, like a drunkard, and the black energy around him had faded a lot for some unknown reason.

There were only a few big trees swaying in the wind around. At night, the wind was a bit cold. Emperor Zhao only wore a thin jacket and a single layer of trousers.

At this time, the clothes on his body were very messy, and his hands were full of blood. Blood stains could be seen everywhere on his clothes, and there were long-dried blood stains on his face.

salsa...

Vaguely, a burst of footsteps sounded. The sound was so small that ordinary people on the trail would not notice it, but Emperor Zhao heard it as if it was in his ears.

The originally scattered black eyes moved, and they quickly focused on the source of the sound. At the same time, his figure looked like a ghost, erratic, and in the blink of an eye, he had seen his back.

And thousands of meters away...

"Hurry up, it's hard to catch a woman in this poor wilderness," a man with a scar face urged.

Beside them, the torn women's clothes were thrown casually on the ground. He touched her breath and said with a chuckle:

"Third brother, you're too late, this woman is dead."

Her hands fell to the ground weakly.

"It's boring." The person called Lao San hurriedly stepped forward to sniff the woman's breath, and after confirming that she was dead, he said dissatisfiedly to the other two:

"You guys can't slow down. I finally caught you, but I killed you without even touching you."

"Okay, I'll let you go first next time." The person who first discovered the woman's death said casually.

The three of them were about to leave, but suddenly they felt something strange behind them. Just as they were about to turn around, the last one suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"The third one!"

"The third one!"

puff!

puff!

As soon as the two of them finished shouting, their heads fell off and rolled on the ground a few times before returning to their respective feet.

In a moment, three bodies fell to the ground with a plop, and the three of them did not know how they died until they died.

A dark figure slowly walked over them step by step.

After killing three people, Emperor Zhao returned to his drunken state and continued to stagger forward aimlessly. On his hanging right hand, a black sharp blade was dripping with blood.

After taking a few steps, the sharp blade turned into starlight and disappeared, and there were more blood stains on Emperor Zhao's body...

……

In the blink of an eye, the sky was already bright, and the prince of the Star Dou Empire was in his residence.

In the prince's room, Xue Qinghe and the emperor were sitting at the table drinking tea, with a servant standing beside them.

"Qinghe, go out and practice. How was your harvest this time?" The emperor took a sip of tea and asked Xue Qinghe who was sitting opposite him with a smile.

"The results are not bad." Xue Qinghe replied with a smile.

"Well, by the way, Qinghe, you're almost 20 years old, right?"

Xue Qinghe's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly, then returned to normal for a moment, and said: "Well, yes, father, he is still a few years away from turning twenty."

After a pause, he asked: "I wonder why the father suddenly asked about the age of the child?"

"Haha." The emperor smiled and looked at his son. Whether it was appearance or talent, he was first-class. It can be said that the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. If there are a few people he can trust, this son is one of them. one.

After laughing a few times, the emperor said: "It's nothing, it's just that you are not young enough and should do something so that you can inherit my position in the future."

"Father, you are joking. With your body, it won't be a problem for you to sit here for decades." Xue Qinghe's eyes moved secretly, and he said humbly.

"Haha, don't worry, I won't take your time for granted. It's very simple. I just did it to show those people." The emperor looked at her and smiled.

Xue Qinghe sneered in his heart, this old fox!

It is not easy to inherit the throne. First of all, you need to have a certain level of strength, and then various achievements. If you don't have it, the forces that support the empire will not be so easy to agree with.

The emperor had long ago started giving her some tasks that were not trivial or not important, and these tasks were just to destroy some small dark forces, or to capture a fugitive with low cultivation level.

Of course, it won't be too low. Those forces are not that easy to fool.

When Xue Qinghe was distracted, the emperor's voice came: "What, Qinghe, don't you want to go? This time is also very fast. It's just a village composed of some clowns. You only need to deal with the two soul saints inside, and the other small Fish, shrimp, whatever.”

Xue Qinghe fell silent after hearing this.

If it were before, she would have nodded in agreement, but this time she hesitated, or even didn't want to go. She just wanted to practice quickly, and then go find the little boy who saved her.
