Douluo: The Second Lady of the Worship Hall, decisive in killing

Chapter 324 Fear from Within

After hearing the guard's report, Emperor Xingluo waved to him and walked back to his palace without saying a word.

Looking at the bed in the palace, Emperor Xingluo was wide awake.

He even felt unsafe staying in his own palace.

Think it over again and again.

Emperor Xingluo decided to go to the Empress's palace.

Although Empress Xingluo's strength is not as good as his, he can use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique when he is with her, which is safer than being alone.

Before leaving his palace, Emperor Xingluo glanced at the sharp sword on the ground with lingering fear.

……

early morning.

The Duke of the Underworld's Mansion.

Ye Xi, Ling Yuan, Gui Bao, Zhu Zhuqing, and the miniature version of the Evil Eye Saint King, after enjoying the breakfast prepared by the Duke of Youming, left the Duke's mansion and headed to the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Walking down the bustling street, the Evil-Eyed Saint King remained quietly perched on Ye Xi's shoulder.

After passing through the bustling streets and seeing the palace ahead, Ye Xi and the others walked straight over.

Because they had sent a visiting card the day before, Ye Xi revealed his identity, and guards led them to the palace where guests were received.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, they saw Emperor Xingluo and Empress Xingluo standing there, looking at them with gentle eyes.

"Pavilion Master Ye."

"I have long admired your name, but now that I have met you, I realize that the rumors were somewhat conservative."

As the Star Emperor spoke, his gaze kept darting behind Ye Xi, as if searching for something.

"Ye Xi and Zhu Zhuqing can be ignored; there is absolutely no way they could have done what happened last night."

"Although Lingyuan and Guibao are stronger than me, it is unlikely that they can sneak into my palace silently and hang a sword above my head."

"Could there be someone else in the shadows?"

While thinking, the Star Luo Emperor secretly released his spiritual power to perceive the surrounding situation, not missing the slightest movement.

But no matter how the Star Emperor sensed it, he gained nothing.

"Your Majesty flatters me; it is merely an empty reputation."

Ye Xi made a polite remark, but a hint of doubt appeared deep in her eyes.

She didn't know what the Star Luo Emperor was looking at, or what he was looking for.

"Could there be a conspiracy?"

Ye Xi gently twirled her fingertips, her gaze slightly somber.

But then he thought that with Ling Yuan and Gui Bao behind him, even if there was some conspiracy, it shouldn't be a threat to him. If all else failed, he would use his spatial abilities to escape.

"Look at my memory, Pavilion Master Ye, please come in."

Emperor Xingluo gestured for Ye Xi and the others to enter the palace.

Normally, given the preparations Ye Xi had Huo Yanbao and Feng Bailong make last night, even if the Star Luo Emperor didn't fly into a rage, he shouldn't have been so amiable.

However, the Star Luo Emperor felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the sword hanging over his head last night. Therefore, the Star Luo Emperor was now being amiable, mainly to test whether Ye Xi had orchestrated yesterday's events, so as to decide his attitude towards the Frost Snow Pavilion.

After all, this time the sword of Damocles is hanging over our heads, but what about next time?

Who knows if next time it might just end up cutting you instead?

Enter the palace.

Ye Xi, Ling Yuan, Gui Bao, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others sat down in the seats arranged by Emperor Xingluo. The Evil Eye Saint King climbed down from Ye Xi's shoulder and obediently lay down at Ye Xi's feet.

Emperor Xingluo and Empress Xingluo sat in the main seats.

Emperor Xingluo clapped his hands lightly, and palace maids brought over exquisite pastries and fragrant tea. "Pavilion Master Ye."

I understand why you've come.

“Establishing a branch of your Frost Snow Pavilion within our Star Luo Empire is no problem, but there is another matter that I’m afraid is not possible.”

The Star Luo Empire revealed a gentle smile, glancing at Zhu Zhuqing with an unspoken meaning.

“Your Majesty, I have no intention of interfering in your royal family's affairs, but I have already made a promise, so I should try my best.”

Ye Xi's voice was neither humble nor arrogant.

Her meaning was clear: she wouldn't concern herself with royal family matters, but she wanted to protect Zhu Zhuqing.

"Ha ha……"

"Sect Master Ye, what do you think of our Star Luo Royal Family's guards compared to those of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"I'm not exaggerating, but the army of our Star Luo Empire is stronger than that of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Emperor Xingluo reached out and picked up a piece of pastry, his gaze meeting Ye Xi's.

"I have long heard of the Star Luo Empire's army. In terms of combat strength, the Heaven Dou Empire's army is indeed slightly inferior. This is also the result of His Majesty's wise governance."

"By the way, Your Majesty, the Fire Leopard Sect and the Wind Sword Sect entered Star Luo City yesterday because they joined the Frost Snow Pavilion. They may have caused some minor disturbances last night. If they disturbed Your Majesty, please forgive them."

Ye Xi smiled as he looked at the Star Luo Emperor in the main seat, but he showed no sign of yielding.

"last night?"

"Are there only the Fire Leopard Sect and the Wind Sword Sect?"

As Emperor Xingluo pondered, his eyes narrowed, and he reached out and slapped the table in front of him, the sound echoing throughout the entire hall.

Seeing the Star Luo Emperor's actions, Ye Xi slightly raised his leg, ready to kick the table.

Ling Yuan and Gui Bao instantly adjusted themselves to their optimal state and prepared to respond.

Zhu Zhuqing subtly moved closer to Ye Xi.

The Evil-Eyed Saint King, who was lying at Ye Xi's feet, slowly opened his eyes. A glint of light flashed on the golden vertical pupil on his forehead, and an invisible pressure silently fell on the Star Luo Emperor.

Just as the Star Luo Emperor was about to say something, he suddenly felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him, causing his body to tremble slightly involuntarily. He even felt a fear from the bottom of his heart, and his martial spirit couldn't help but tremble.

It was as if some terrifying thing was watching him, making him unable to muster any will to resist.

"What happened last night was indeed done by Frost Snow Pavilion."

"There are still people from the Frost and Snow Pavilion hiding in the shadows."

Emperor Xingluo thought to himself, fear appearing in his eyes. This fear came from his heart and his martial spirit.

"Pavilion Master Ye."

"I think we can talk."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Xingluo felt the pressure on his body disappear.

This made Emperor Xingluo breathe a sigh of relief, and he even felt like he had survived a calamity.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xi also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, if you can talk, then talk properly. Why did you have to slam the table? You scared me."

Ye Xi thought to himself.

The Evil-Eyed Saint King, who was lying at Ye Xi's feet, secretly flashed a hint of disdain in his eyes before closing them again.

Ling Yuan and Gui Bao closed their eyes to rest, but kept a close eye on their surroundings.

Joy appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes as she looked at Ye Xi with delight.

If she can talk, doesn't that mean she can escape the fate of becoming a victim of the royal family?
