Chapter 533: All in vain
As Jiang Chen's voice fell.
Eighty-one sword shadows attacked Dorothea with the force of thunder!
The latter looked panicked and wanted to turn into black smoke again.
But my body was fixed and I couldn’t move at all!
She looked at Jiang Chen in horror, her eyes full of disbelief!
He said with difficulty: "Jiang Chen! If you kill me, you will definitely regret it!"
"We, the demons, will win in the end..."
Before she could finish her words, the sword was fully inserted into her body.
Jiang Chen looked at him coldly, hatred burning in his eyes.
Her screams were heard in the air, and a moment later, Dorothea died completely.
Jiang Chen punched her body.
Dorothea died under the strong attack.
It turned into flying smoke, leaving no trace.
The catastrophe should have passed at this point, but Jiang Chen couldn't let it go.
I feel uneasy, as if something has not been dealt with yet.
Before he could turn around, a shrill roar came from the ground.
Jiang Chen returned to the wooden shed and looked up at the crazy crowd around him in shock.
He murmured, "What's going on?"
Wang Jinnian also noticed something was wrong.
Thinking carefully about what Dorothea said, horror suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"wrong!"
"Since the poisonous demon claims to be the mother of Gu, the son will die if the mother dies!"
"Both live together, and die together!"
"What she said before was meant to seduce and mislead you. This was her plan from the beginning!"
"You were told to kill her!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly understood.
Why did the panic in her eyes seem fake when I killed her just now?
It turns out that this was all paving the way for all of this.
The screams around were getting more and more numerous and more miserable.
"Is there any way to stop it?"
Jiang Chen asked out loud.
Wang Jinnian remained silent and gave Jiang Chen an answer.
Jiang Chen stood there, with screams all around him.
The bodies of every villager rotted rapidly in an instant, and the flesh on their faces turned into a pool of blood.
The flesh on his body also peeled off at this moment, which was horrifying and disgusting.
In addition to suffering physical torture, there is also mental torture.
Many people couldn't bear it and committed suicide with swords on the spot.
The entire village has completely turned into a living hell.
The next moment, the screams in Jiang Chen's ears disappeared.
All was quiet.
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The sudden change caught Jiang Chen off guard.
After opening their eyes, all the villagers fell to the ground.
Completely dead.
There was not a single person left alive in the entire village.
Jiang Chen stood there in a daze, he never expected this to be the outcome.
In the past, he was always in control of the situation, but now he has fallen into the trap of the demons.
Wang Jinnian walked over and patted his shoulder.
"The mother insect is dead, and the offspring cannot survive alone. The shrill sound just now was the offspring's final struggle."
"But it doesn't help."
After hearing Wang Jinnian's words, Jiang Chen knew that it was to comfort him.
But no matter how he handled the matter, he couldn't make peace.
If he had discovered it earlier, would the outcome have been different?
Although I have doubts in my heart, I cannot solve them.
Wang Jinnian looked at the soldiers who were accompanying him and said sternly, "Burn these bodies."
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or I'll kill you without mercy!"
What happened today was a blow to everyone.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and then planned to load the bodies onto a carriage and pile them together for burning.
Jiang Chen leaned over to touch a corpse, but before he could touch it, the corpse turned into ashes.
It was blown away by the wind.
All the other bodies were like this.
Looking at the flying dust, Jiang Chen laughed at himself.
"Master, let's go."
He said softly. Wang Jinnian didn't respond and followed him.
Jiang Chen made a special trip to the water source, and the previously turbid source became clear.
There are more small animals in the forest, and the trees are more green.
Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Jiang Chen remained silent.
But his determination to destroy the demons became even stronger.
Those who are not of my race must have ulterior motives!
They will also be destroyed!
The group went back home, and Jiang Chen looked back at the forest behind him.
The wheel marks on the ground were not obvious, and if you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find the village deep in the forest.
But now, more than 500 people have disappeared.
"Let's go."
Jiang Chen said.
Wang Jinnian could hear helplessness and anger in his tone.
......
The scene changes to the palace.
Su Qingcheng sat by the lake, watching the ripples in the lake.
I couldn't calm down for a long time. I always felt a tightness in my chest, as if something was going to happen.
"The emperor should be fine."
She murmured.
The maids looked at each other and one of them stepped forward to persuade them.
"Don't worry, your majesty. The emperor is a lucky man, nothing will happen to him."
"Perhaps the emperor will return to court today."
After listening to what the two said, Su Qingcheng felt much calmer.
Although there has been no news, perhaps the fact that there has been no news is also good news.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried running outside.
"Your Majesty! The Emperor has returned!"
Hearing this, Su Qingcheng stood up and was about to run over.
But he was grabbed by the person who came to report the news.
"Your Majesty can't go now!"
Su Qingcheng frowned.
"Why?"
"The emperor has no smile on his face. He may have encountered some difficulties this time."
"Besides, all the high officials have gone to see the emperor, so it would not be appropriate for you to go there now."
Listening to the maid's words, Su Qingcheng also felt that there was some truth in them.
"Well, I'll wait."
At this critical juncture, she'd better wait.
At this time in the study, all the court officials were waiting for news.
But they didn't see Jiang Chen, so they started to speculate about each other.
"What's going on? Why hasn't the emperor come yet?"
"I guess he just came back from the imperial court and must be physically and mentally exhausted."
For a moment, I didn't know what was going on.
After a long time, the young eunuch came to report.
"My dear ministers, the emperor has just returned from the imperial court and is ill, so please return to your residences."
"When the emperor is in better health, I will invite you ministers to have a chat."
After hearing his words, several people instantly lost their composure.
"What? Are you sick? Is it a problem?"
The young eunuch bowed and said, "The emperor said it's okay, just rest for a few days."
After hearing that, everyone stopped moving.
Maybe he was tired from the long journey.
Everyone then returned home.
After Su Qingcheng learned the news, she waited for a while before coming to Jiang Chen Palace with a lunch box.
The person on duty at the door didn't stop him.
Qingcheng pushed the door open and looked at the misty figure on the bed through the screen.
The longing I had for you after not seeing you for so many days finally found a place to rest.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you were unwell, so I went to make something for you myself."
"I don't know if it suits your taste."
She finished her words, but no one responded.
He frowned and spoke again .
There was no sound from inside, Su Qingcheng became suspicious and walked over.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice was heard.
"Alluring."
Su Qingcheng's body trembled.
"I am here."
"Come here."
"yes."
Su Qingcheng walked to the bedside and saw Jiang Chen clearly.
"Your Majesty, why have you lost weight?"
