Chapter 268: Fate makes us late

“what do you mean?”

Chen Changsheng looked at the prime minister coldly with deep eyes.

The tip of the Daluo Immortal Sword was only a tiny bit away from the prime minister’s chest, and the chill spread directly to the prime minister’s body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

The prime minister’s face began to twist, and a hint of madness flashed across his face.

His eyes were wide open, full of hatred, like a trapped beast fighting its last battle.

He let out a sharp, miserable laugh that echoed throughout the room and made people feel creepy.

“Hahaha, Chen Changsheng, you want me to say it out loud? You are not worthy at all.”

“I can tell you that I will never tell you even if I die.”

The prime minister gnashed his teeth, his eyes full of madness, and he shouted with almost all his strength: “I can tell you responsibly that you will all die, without exception.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a dagger appeared in the prime minister’s hand and stabbed directly into his heart.

Although Chen Changsheng reacted quickly, he was completely unable to stop the prime minister from committing suicide and could only watch the prime minister die in front of him.

Wei Hongyue witnessed all of this with her own eyes, and immediately looked unhappy.

She wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

She opened her eyes wide, full of surprise and confusion, and stood there for a long time without reacting.

Chen Changsheng held the Daluo Immortal Sword in his hand, and blood dripped from the sword.

He lowered his head and looked at the prime minister lying in a pool of blood, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

Then he waved his hand and tried to control his soul by force.

“Do you think you can get away with it by just dying like this?”

But suddenly, Chen Changsheng’s right hand paused for a moment, and he slowly put down the corpse. It was actually an empty shell with no soul inside.

“It’s quite well prepared and interesting.”

Chen Changsheng raised his lips slightly, put away the Daluo Immortal Sword, then looked up at Wei Hongyue, took a deep breath and said: “Prime Minister Hongyue’s matter is not over, on the contrary, this is just the beginning, you have to be prepared.”

“What does it mean?”

Wei Hongyue frowned deeply, and he obviously realized that a storm was coming.

Chen Changsheng said, “Perhaps all these disputes are not caused by you, but you will be affected by it in the Shenyao Dynasty, which is inevitable.”

“Chen Changsheng, what should I do now?”

Wei Hongyue looked at Chen Changsheng, and she no longer looked like a princess at all.

“Don’t worry, I’m here. I won’t let anyone touch a hair on your head.”

Chen Changsheng rubbed Wei Hongyue’s head lovingly and comforted her.

Wei Hongyue snuggled in Chen Changsheng’s arms. Gradually, she had become accustomed to relying on Chen Changsheng.

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Changsheng’s eyes. After continuous efforts, he finally conquered Wei Hongyue.

All that remains is to make him all his own.

How about starting now?
As soon as this thought came up, Chen Changsheng threw it out of his mind. This was too much of a misfortune. This was not his style. Moreover, he had just killed so many people from the Shenyao Dynasty, so it was not appropriate to be here.

In the spacious and solemn divine medicine hall that was protected from moisture and frost, the air was extremely frozen at this moment, and the bright night lights illuminated the entire hall.

Wei Tianzhan, the emperor of the Shen Yao Dynasty who looked down upon all the heroes, now had a gloomy face and his eyes were filled with anger.

He wore a dragon robe and a crown, but he could not hide his inner anger.

In the hall, apart from a few personal guards and trusted ministers, there was no one else in the empty hall, and there was also a solemn and murderous atmosphere in the air.

At this time, an old and respected minister stood up and said indignantly: “The Queen’s move is really ambitious and she is clearly planning a rebellion!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent and everyone held their breath, waiting for Wei Tianzhan’s decision.

After hearing this, Wei Tianzhan’s face turned cold. He clenched his fists and said in a cold voice, “You were the ones who broke up first, so don’t blame me for being rude.”

His voice resounded throughout the hall, and he glanced at everyone, saying, “If there was any hope, I would not want to go this far. However, if anyone wants to challenge the kingship and overthrow it, they will be severely punished, even if they are my relatives.”

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall fell into silence. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of everyone’s heartbeats.

Just as Wei Tianzhan’s thunder-like voice rang out in the hall, an invisible pressure spread out, as if even the hall was shaking.

All the ministers in the hall lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Wei Tianzhan’s eyes.

One of the old ministers stood up tremblingly, knelt on one knee, clenched his fists, and advised sincerely: “Your Majesty, please be cautious. This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.”

Wei Tianzhan turned his back to the ministers, his brows were also extremely cold, and he said in a deep voice: “I have made up my mind. I will never allow anyone to shake the foundation of the Shenyao Dynasty. Pass on my order and summon the queen immediately. I want to interrogate her personally.”

At the same time, in a luxurious palace, the queen sat in front of a mirror, her fingers lightly playing with a jade hairpin. On the surface, she looked calm as water, but her heart was turbulent.

She seemed to see Wei Tianzhan through the mirror, but his face didn’t look like an emperor at all. Instead, it was full of evil, like a demon.

“Hopefully it’s not too late.”

Outside the palace, a storm was approaching and the Royal Guards were rushing towards the palace like a torrent.

The cavalry rode past, splashing water. Wei Tianzhan rode on the golden divine chariot, followed closely by many elites, and the group galloped in a mighty manner.

At this time, in the wild mountains and wilderness thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, two old men stood in the void with their clothes fluttering.

They were the two great elders who protected the country of the Shen Yao Dynasty. They looked at the broken spaceship in the distant forest and felt sad.

“It’s really fate that we are one step too late!”

An old man couldn’t help but sigh, his hair was white and his eyes were sparkling with tears.

Another old man also looked solemn and said in a deep voice: “We should hurry back now. The situation in the palace is probably not much better than here.”

The two old men turned into streams of light and disappeared.

In another hidden forest, Chen Changsheng was carrying the unconscious girl and Wei Hongyue on his back and moving quickly through the dense forest.

The moonlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming a blurry, mottled light and shadow, shining on the three people.

Wei Hongyue asked with a puzzled look on her face: “Aren’t we going to the palace? Why do we have to destroy that spaceship?”

Chen Changsheng glanced at Wei Hongyue and did not answer immediately. Instead, he stopped and raised his hand to point at the dark night sky.
