To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Traitor Yuwen
When he finished preparing his gift, Yuwen had decided to betray. From the beginning indeed he did not agree with the actions of Zhen Tian who cooperated with the demon nation. But since the king has agreed to it, he must inevitably agree with it.
Now that he had a chance to change it, he immediately informed officials known to be opposed to royal policies and decisions. There were of course high-ranking officials like the royal minister, the father of Xiao Ning.
Even so, very few opposed the king's decision after knowing the power or benefits of allying with the demon nation. So that when it reached midnight, Zhen Yuwen and his entourage of 30 people came out of the palace on false grounds that he made.
No one suspected the actions of Zhen Yuwen even the king. Exactly fifteen minutes when Zhen Yuwen's carriage and entourage left the palace, all four figures stood in front of Blue Moon's royal palace.
At first they were visible but suddenly all four turned transparent. From there, the blackish-green smoke began to rapidly spread into the palace. The guards panicked to see the blackish-green smoke that appeared suddenly without any fire or cause.
One of them decided to approach the blackish-green smoke, but it was not until five seconds that he was nearby, a hand made from transaprana smoke pulled him in making the guard disappear swallowed by the black fog.
There was no sound of shouting from the guard, making everyone dumbfounded. They thought that the green smoke was okay to touch and finally let the green smoke roam the Blue Moon royal palace.
They did not realize that slowly the smoke began to enter the palace and spread within it. When those guards had realized their mistake, it was too late. Green smoke had spread throughout the palace without leaving a single room left.
“Arrrgh!” As the smoke began to envelop the guards, one after another began to scream in pain. The green smoke apparently brought about a feeling of torment and pressure and then began to erode the bodies of the guards bit by bit.
The other guards who saw their friend slowly melted goosebumps in fear. They wanted to get out of there but other green smoke was blocking their way. Slowly but surely they were also exposed to green smoke and suffered like their other companions.
The incident was gradual until it reached the palace officials. Those with higher cultivation were more vigilant and had a struggle to fight against that green smoke. But what a pity, as long as they were not Holy Sage cultivators then it would not be able to escape from the green smoke poison released by Du Lian.
Dear thousand dear, the king is currently facing another problem and has no time to help the royal officials.
Zhen Yuwen's departure had aroused suspicion when the sudden green smoke appeared throughout the palace. The king was aware that Zhen Yuwen and several other officials had chosen a different direction to them now.
“Traitors!” The king shouted furiously when a man came over who had checked the residence of Zhen Yuwen and said that no one was there.
However, his experience as a king allowed him to regain his composure after learning he had been betrayed by Zhen Yuwen. He began to summon all the remaining high officials of the palace along with their entire family.
“Quick leave the palace! We have attacked” the King gives orders. He was a little experienced with poison and was the only one who knew if the fog had contained a very dangerous poison. Therefore he did not give the order to eliminate or face the fog but rather to flee as far as possible from the land.
The king led the officials and the royal family to flee. They even decisively damaged some parts of the majestic palace just to make them escape easier.
But just as they had left the palace, they were confronted by four black-robed figures. The face of the king and his followers changed when the four of them released the pressure of a Mortal cultivator.
“Have you guys planned all this?!” the king boldly asked the four.
But instead of getting answers from the four, the king instead got a sudden attack from someone. He did not expect it to happen, so he did not have time to fight or defend strong.
As a result, he was hit by a stab wound in his stomach with a sword that was now flying leaving a gaping pit in his stomach. The shadow figure behind him who had controlled the sword shot back to cut off the king's head.
