As soon as the eleven people in the group walked out of the Beizhou Forest, Teacher Xia received a flying letter from the principal, which was for Lingshuang.

"What's wrong? Xuanyue looked at Lingshuang's face and asked with concern.

Lingshuang put away the letter and said to everyone, "It's a letter from Gongzi, Your Majesty has behaved strangely recently, he has killed many loyal ministers and good generals, and said that he has already sent troops to Qingnuocheng on the border of the Northern Netherworld, so let's be extra careful." ”

Xia Han took the letter and read it carefully, and said, "This incident will definitely not happen by accident at this time, Lingshuang and I will go back to the Silver Empire, Linyuan, Xuanyue, and Chaofeng will go to the North to ask about the situation." ”

After Xia Han finished speaking, Mu Jue said anxiously, "Teacher, I'll go with you." ”

"I'm with them to the North Hell. Jiuchen continued.

"Then we..."

Jiu Ge was about to speak, but was stopped by Jiu Chen, "You and Huyun will go back to the academy first, and the academy also needs you." ”

At this time, Hu Yun didn't say anything more as usual, pulled Jiu Ge, and said, "Teacher, big brother, don't worry!

Chaofeng looked at Jiu Ge, showed a gentle smile, and said, "Go back to the academy and wait for us." ”

Jiu Ge nodded reassuringly.

This is the first time that the nine of them have been separated, Jiuchen touched Jiu Ge's head and said to her, "Hong'er is the first time to come to the human world, you take care of her more." ”

"Got it, brother. Then you must come back safely. ”

After that, the nine people broke up.

Xia Han took Lingshuang and Mu Jue directly to the little duke's mansion, but at this time, the people in the royal capital of the Silver Empire were already panicked, and even the entry and exit needed to be strictly checked, and the three of them only stopped outside the city.

Looking at the situation in the city, Xia Han said, "It's night, go in again." ”

Lingshuang and Mu Jue agreed.

Lin Yuan's side, they went straight to the North Underworld Palace, of course, they were not the main gate, when Lin Yuan communicated with the master before, the master had said that there were probably variables in the royal capital, and it was better not to startle the snake at this time.

In the main hall of the emperor, the guards on duty did not feel strange when they saw Lin Yuan, but bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness." ”

"Your Majesty is alone?" Lin Yuan asked, this person had seen Lin Yuan when he entered the palace last time, and he should be the confidant of the Northern Immortal Emperor.

"Yes. ”

After answering, the guard knocked on the door of the main hall, and there was a voice in the room, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness who has returned. ”

After speaking, he pushed open the door of the temple.

In the evening, the setting sun shone into the main hall, and the old man in the hall was extremely old, as if he was more aged than the last time he saw him.

"Your Majesty. ”

"You go out first!"

The Northern Emperor walked to His Royal Highness, and at this time, he looked at his son, who was a kind father, and said, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

Lin Yuan greeted in an extremely flat tone, "It's good for you to come in." ”

Although Lin Yuan can't call his father now, he still can't bear to see his current appearance.

And the Northern Immortal Emperor showed obvious shock at Lin Yuan's sudden concern, and reacted for a long time, replying, "Everything is fine. ”

He also said, "If it is for the sake of the academy, I have already asked your master to go with the royal guard, and you don't have to make a special trip for this." ”

Xuan Yue felt the awkward atmosphere in the air and asked, "Your Majesty, has there been anything special happening on the border of the Silver Empire recently. ”

Only then did the Northern Emperor understand their true intentions, and said, "A few days ago, a report came from the border pass, saying that there was some impatience among the defenders of the Silver Empire, and some strange things had happened. ”

"What's weird?" asked Jiuchen.

"Wandering corpses have been found in some small villages. ”

"Wandering corpses?" Jiuchen was shocked.

"This wandering corpse can only be summoned by a Qi refiner who cultivates the evil spirit body, and it hasn't appeared in the Siam Domain for hundreds of years, why did it suddenly appear now?" Chaofeng said suspiciously.

"Then it must have something to do with Siam City. Chaofeng said, turning his head and saying to Lin Yuan, "This can explain why the Emperor of the Silver Empire suddenly changed his temperament, and he was probably controlled by Siam City." ”

"But if it's Siam City, why don't you attack Qingmo City, but choose Qingnuocheng. Xuan Yue asked her own question, "If you attack Qing Mocheng, won't you be able to uproot the academy together?"

"But they didn't seem to be in a hurry to deal with the Academy. Jiuchen continued.

The Northern Immortal Emperor took the opportunity to say, "It probably has something to do with the third treasure!"

All four agreed.

Lin Yuan asked again, "Can there be a general." ”

"Qingnuocheng has always been guarded by General Han Nian, the old department who followed the Situ family. The Northern Emperor replied.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said to a few partners, "Let's go to Qingnuocheng first." If this was really the work of Siamse, then their purpose can be imagined. ”

"Let the empires kill each other, and they will reap the benefits of the fishermen. Chaofeng said.

"Hmm. ”

Instead, Lin Yuan said to the Northern Emperor again, "You still need to take care of your health. ”

The Northern Emperor seemed to have something to say, but when it came to his mouth, he did swallow it back, and just instructed, "Be careful." ”

Lin Yuan nodded, and finally said, "Farewell." ”

The four of them disappeared again in the Northern Underworld Palace.

The Northern Emperor looked at the direction they were leaving but didn't move for a long time, and the guard on the side spoke, "Your Majesty, let it go! Your Highness is righteous and talented, and it will be fine." ”

The Northern Emperor lowered his head, remembered the former god of war, and said, "He and Situ are really exactly the same. ”

"Didn't Your Majesty often say that the god of war in the Northern Hell has never disappeared. ”

When the Northern Emperor heard this, he showed a smile. Yes, the god of war will never disappear!

In the Silver Empire, Lingshuang had already entered the Duke's Mansion with Xia Han and Mu Jue, and the first scene that could be seen turned out to be the White Cloth Spiritual Hall.

"Daddy, what's going on?"

Lingshuang saw the princess and the little duke kneeling above the mourning hall, thinking that there was only the old prince lying in the coffin at this time, Xia Han and Mu Jue stepped forward and bowed politely and deeply, and then followed Lingshuang to the side room, and with them was Lingshuang's father, a retainer of the same age as Xia Han.

Lingshuang's father first saluted Xia Han before he spoke, "A few days ago, the emperor recruited the prince into the palace, and when he came back, the prince would not be able to do it. ”

"Doesn't the princess know what's going on?" Lingshuang asked.

"What else can I think of, I can only think of it because of the emperor's abnormal behavior recently, probably because the old prince brushed His Majesty's meaning!"

"When did this start to happen?" Xia Han asked.

"About half a month ago. ”

Lingshuang looked at Teacher Xia and said, "Before dealing with the four major families. ”

"It should have been planned a long time ago. Xia Han replied and asked, "But there are other unusual things happening?"

"There was news in the army that Qingnuocheng had a wandering corpse. Lingshuang's father said.

Qingnuo Chengzhong, the four of Lin Yuan have successfully arrived at the camp of the Northern Underworld Empire's garrison.

"Your Highness, Young Master. ”

General Han, who was guarding the city, heard that it was Lin Yuan and Chaofeng who were coming, and immediately greeted him.

"General Han. ”

The four of them politely returned the salute, and there was no shelf of the prince and the young master.

"General, how is the situation now?" asked Lin Yuan back in the tent.

Han Nian opened the map, pointed to several small villages on the map, and said, "There are wandering corpses in these places. And..."

"And what?"

Seeing that the general seemed to have something unspeakable, Jiuchen asked.

Han Nian looked at a few teenagers and said, "These wandering corpses are all living people. ”

"A living person?" Xuan Yue was shocked, this is impossible!

"Yes, these people are fine during the day, but at night they will become wandering corpses, and they are copper-skinned and iron-clad. Han Nian said worriedly, "Now what we are thinking about is that if it is related to the Silver Empire, then their army..."

"If a soldier becomes a wandering corpse, that's a problem. ”

Han Nian nodded in agreement with Jiuchen's words.

Lin Yuan opened his mouth and asked, "General Han, as far as you know, if you want to turn an entire army into a wandering corpse, can a Qi refiner do it?"

Han Nian thought for a moment and said, "If it's a grandmaster-level qi refiner who summons dead corpses, I'm afraid it won't be surprising to anyone in a city. ”

"Except for Qingnuocheng, how many other empires can have the same thing happening?"

"Tianping and Nanyu have also appeared. Han Nian replied.

"It seems that it is not just for the North Underworld, let's go to the village in the evening to check on the situation. ”

The four of them nodded in agreement, and at this time, a soldier's announcement came from outside the barracks, "General, a group of people came from outside the camp, saying that they were looking for His Royal Highness and Young Master Biao." ”

The four of them looked at each other, walked out of the tent together, and saw a group of familiar figures from a distance, who were seniors.

"Senior, why are you here?"

"The headmaster knows you're here, so let's come and have a look. Tianshu said.

"It couldn't have come at a better time. Jiuchen said with a smile.
