Kapitel 352: Chapter 190: Xingluo Changes Leadership, Empress Zhu Qing_1
"Is the seed of hope in your heart Davis?"
Qin Xiao retorted.
"Hmph." The Star Luo Emperor snorted fiercely and did not respond to Qin Xiao's words.
"If it really is Davis, then I can tell you with certainty, there is no chance." Qin Xiao said, unconcerned with the Star Luo Emperor's thoughts.
Suddenly, a sense of dread flashed through the Star Luo Emperor's heart, as Qin Xiao's attitude gave rise to a bad premonition.
"Could it be, could it be that something has happened to Davis..." The Star Luo Emperor didn't dare to continue that line of thought.
The Dai family was not blessed with many offspring, and their ancestral practice of raising gu insects also meant that each generation was almost always a solitary heir.
Dai Mubai was already dead.
Now, he was left with only his son Davis.
As early as half a year ago, he had sent Davis out of the Xingluo Empire.
Could something unexpected still have happened?
"Father!"
Just at that moment, a shout came from a distance.
The Star Luo Emperor's heart shook.
He blindly looked towards the direction of the sound, and a familiar figure caught his eye.
At merely a glance, the Star Luo Emperor was stunned.
"Davis!"
He was certain. The figure in the distance was none other than the Xingluo Empire's sole prince, Davis.
Following him were several figures the Star Luo Emperor recognized –– the Youming Grand Duke with his pair of daughters, and a few strong members of the Youming Clan.
"Father, it's me!"
Davis cried out and rushed to the Star Luo Emperor's side. Without fear of the Emperor's wretched state, he threw himself into his embrace.
"Didn't you leave long ago? Why have you come back!"
"Do you not realize what you carry on your shoulders? It's the hope of the entire Empire!"
The Star Luo Emperor was somewhat angered.
In contrast, after hearing the Star Luo Emperor's words, Davis cried even harder, "Father, you're wronging me; I didn't disobey you and come back from outside, I never left in the first place."
"Never left?" The Star Luo Emperor looked confused.
"Your Majesty, I can vouch that Davis isn't lying. For the past half-year, Davis has been at my estate."
Youming Grand Duke stepped forward and addressed the Star Luo Emperor.
"You!"
Surprise flashed in the Star Luo Emperor's eyes.
Immediately followed by boundless wrath.
"Youming Grand Duke, you have quite the gall. You dared to keep the prince under house arrest." He was beginning to realize what had happened, "I treated you with true heart, and yet you've done such a thing!"
The Star Luo Emperor felt as if he had been stabbed in the back.
And the knife had hit a major artery.
"Your Majesty, I had no choice," the Youming Grand Duke said helplessly, spreading his hands.
As if it wasn't his fault.
He then looked toward Qin Xiao and asked, "Your Highness, do you find my actions to your satisfaction?"
Qin Xiao nodded slightly. "Since you and the Emperor have had a history, I'll leave it to you to send him off."
Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, a complex, surprised expression crossed the Youming Grand Duke's eyes.
Although he wanted to sever ties with the Star Luo Emperor, he had never thought about taking matters into his own hands.
"What's the matter, does the Grand Duke have some other thoughts?" Qin Xiao said, with a mocking smile, looking at the Youming Grand Duke.
"No, not at all!" The Youming Grand Duke hurriedly shook his head.
He knew very well before him was a man who wouldn't blink an eye at murder,
And who always picked on the tough ones,
The Hao Tian Clan, the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, were fine examples.
Throughout such a tumultuous year in the Xingluo Empire, he had pretended not to see, not to hear, all in order to clear himself of any involvement.
"It seems that capturing only the prince, Davis, isn't sufficient to dispel Qin Xiao's concerns.
There's no helping it then; I shall use the Star Luo Emperor as my token of loyalty."
At this moment, the Youming Grand Duke made his decision.
He took steps forward.
"After all I've done for you, now you want to kill me?"
"Your Youming Clan truly are ungrateful wolves that cannot be nurtured!"
The Star Luo Emperor's voice was filled with anger.
"Your Majesty is mistaken. Is it that we can't be nurtured, or is it that you've always harbored suspicion against us? We both know the truth very well."
"Let me now send you on your final journey," said the Youming Grand Duke, his eyes flashing coldly. His hand moved swiftly, and a sharp dagger slit the Star Luo Emperor's throat.
As for the Star Luo Emperor, he felt a chill on his neck, but before he could react, his severed head was already rolling on the ground.
Thus fell a sovereign of an era.
"You, you killed my father!"
Only when he felt blood splash onto him did Davis come to his senses.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll send you on your way now," the voice dropped, followed by the gleam of a cold blade.
Davis met the same fate as the Star Luo Emperor.
"Your Highness, what do you think?"
The Youming Grand Duke looked back at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao pointed at Hu Yan Zhen, who was taking his last breaths, and said, "Take care of that one as well."
"No problem." The Youming Grand Duke, now bloodthirsty, raised his knife, and another head fell to the ground.
Only then did he remember to ask, "Who was he?"
Zhao Wuji curled his lip and said, "Hu Yan Zhen."
"Hu Yan Zhen? Sounds familiar..." the Youming Grand Duke muttered quietly to himself.
Suddenly,
A peculiar expression crossed his eyes, and uncertainly he said, "Hu Yan Zhen? From the Xiangjia Sect, Sect Master Hu Yan Zhen?"
"Congratulations, you've guessed right. Your prize is Hu Yan Zhen's head," Wuji shrugged.
