Chapter 444 The Devil’s Deal (2)
Wei Ning sat on the back of the Eight Desolate Divine Beast , her eyes fascinated by the wind and smoke. She half-closed her eyes and murmured, "Xiao Ba, I know so many things. Have you heard of the Beasts Without Borders?"
“Never heard of it.” The Eight Desolate Divine Beasts shook their heads. “However, there was once a saying that ‘The Dark Lord commands all beasts. The shadow of the throne imprisons all living things.’ Perhaps the Dark Lord is related to the Beasts Without Borders.”
"The Dark Lord?" Wei Ning muttered in a low voice, seemingly having no impression at all, but the Eight Desolate Divine Beast was right, this must be related to Ten Thousand Beasts Without Borders, it was a pity that she didn't know what it was.
The temple of the Qinglong Empire was faintly visible. Wei Ning had never been to this place before, and as far as he could remember, Mu Qingning had never been there either, so it felt very unfamiliar to him.
She approached the temple, and the Eight Desolate Divine Beasts landed. She jumped off the ground and looked up at the gate of the temple.
There was no one guarding the door. She pushed it open and walked in. There was no one there, not even the priest who was offering sacrifices to the sacred beast.
Although she felt something was wrong, Wei Ning still walked in cautiously.
The contracted beast Azure Dragon was inside. To be honest, she really needed Azure Dragon blood right now, because ever since Wujiang disappeared, the black air disappeared and she felt more and more uncomfortable in her body.
That was some residual poison in the body from the elixir that was used to break down the Beast Transformation Pill. It didn't take effect immediately because of the guardian spell.
A huge stone statue of the Azure Dragon is enshrined in the spacious temple, and the walls and roof are also decorated with Azure Dragon totems, which are carved to be lifelike.
The footsteps echoed around in a regular pattern.
"Mu Zihan!" she suddenly shouted, and her voice echoed in the temple, empty .
But there was no response from Mu Zihan.
Wei Ning slowly walked to the back of the stone statue of the Azure Dragon. This was where the priests gathered. There was a small courtyard with flowers and plants, and it was simple and plain.
The Qinglong Kingdom does not have the absolute worship of gods like the Bai Ze Kingdom. The temples are built magnificently and hugely. The Qinglong Empire only worships the Qinglong, and the imperial power is the greatest power, so the temples are no different from those of ordinary countries.
Wei Ning stood in the courtyard. Here, the wind flowed very well. The breeze blew from the roof, bringing with it the fresh smell of moss on the tiles.
She slowly raised her head, listened to the sound of the wind, her eyes swept coldly across several corners, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
"Come out."
As soon as she finished speaking, she lived up to everyone's expectations. She was surrounded by golden-armored guards on all sides, with weapons pointed at her. There was also a faint sense of powerful aura in the air. It must be the Azure Dragon, the contracted beast of the Azure Dragon Empire.
"I am flattered by the Queen's grand welcome." Wei Ning raised her lips slightly and said with a smile.
The golden armored guards are a force that only the emperor can mobilize. Although their number is small, they are the most powerful people in the army.
The several golden-armored guards in front respectfully stepped aside, and Mu Qingtong, who was neatly dressed, walked out. The dragon robe, which was mainly gold and black, did not lose the majesty and power of an emperor, but also retained some of the softness of a woman. She was dignified, elegant, noble and majestic.
Following her out were the siblings Situ Yao and Situ Jing. They both looked at her with a hint of shock.
But Mu Qingtong looked at her coldly.
"The Regent said that you are really not the Crown Prince. I really want to know, who are you? Where did you hide the Crown Prince?"
The emperor's majesty was fully demonstrated on this weak woman at this moment.
