It’s unimaginable how terrifying this night of fire in reality must be.
What has happened in the Imperial Palace?
Shen Tang struggled to maintain the spirit body, evading flames and searching among the beams, arriving at the late Empress’s bedchamber.
Not far away were more than a dozen men in black robes, their faces covered, identities indistinguishable.
The leader among them was tall, his aura unfathomable, he had seized the late Empress, ignoring her cries and struggles, seemingly intent on forcibly taking her away!
"Xiao Jiu! Release her!"
Ji Lin was no longer the serene and elegant figure of the past, his snowy long hair hung in disarray behind him, his robes were tattered and stained with blood, the Nine-tailed behind him scorched by the fire’s remnants, utterly miserable.
His eyes were scarlet, charging at the leader of the black-robed men like a madman, striving with all his might to reclaim his companion.
Unfortunately, the disparity in strength was too great.
Ji Lin, heavily injured, was defeated miserably, kneeling on the ground.
Shen Tang was utterly shocked, as Ji Lin, the late Emperor, was a powerful Tenth Rank Beastman, with few in the world matching him, defeated so easily?
Who exactly are these black-robed men?
Not far away came a weak crying sound, Shen Tang quickly rushed over, finding a blood-covered little fox buried beneath the debris.
It was no longer the lively and playful creature it once was, the rise and fall of its abdomen extremely weak, its fur matted with filthy blood, pitiful and pathetic.
Shen Tang’s eyes suddenly welled up, her nose tingling, her heart twisting with pain, almost making it hard to breathe.
Indeed, such a little fox reminded her of the day Shen Li risked half his life to save her.
No matter how discontent she felt towards him, she couldn’t deny that the debt of saving her life surpassed any spoken affection, an unforgettable gratitude.
The little fox lay on the ground, staring blankly in the direction of its parents, its beautiful eyes losing their previous luster, lifeless.
Regretful tears burst forth, sliding down the corner of its eyes.
It’s all his fault.
If only, he hadn’t gone out to play today...
If only, he could have returned earlier...
If only, he listened to his royal father and didn’t wander around, perhaps none of this would have happened?
At this moment, Shen Li was too weak, unable to do anything, just watching helplessly as his mother was taken, his father severely injured, unable even to see them one last time.
Black vapors emerged from the fox’s body, the force of hatred.
