Chapter 292: The Murderer
With bursts of laughter, the deep palace suddenly brightened and dimmed, and a black figure slowly fell above Hatandis's head.
The shadow of a black shadow descends behind the throne of Hatandis, eerie and mysterious.
Instinctively, Hirol took a step forward and said, "Who?"
With a black coat, black trousers, and the same black hair as Zhao Yan, he hung his head and still hummed and smiled.
Gerol felt deeply uncomfortable and wanted to call out to the soldiers outside the palace, but at this moment, the man in black gradually raised his head.
He looked at Jerol, and Jerol looked at him likewise.
The next moment, Hirol's whole body couldn't help but tremble, he stared at the eyes of the man in black, and suddenly felt two dark red points of light in the pupils changing unpredictably.
Beads of sweat rolled down Jerol's forehead, and Jerol kept gasping. The point of light suddenly zoomed in violently, and Hierol couldn't support it after all, and it flew out.
Jerol, who fell to the ground, was unconscious.
The difference in strength between the two was enough for Joel to defeat him with mental power alone.
Hatandi screamed, but at some point, a metal claw appeared under his chin. The claws were long and sharp, flickering slightly in the light, and they were even a little dazzling.
Hatandis knew the situation well, and he didn't need to test the sharpness of the claws with his own life.
Hatandis said, "Dark ...... Dark Bandit?"
Joel stood behind Hatandis, his eyes squinting down at him, and said, "You are indeed not confused, you have already guessed who I am before you even see my appearance." β
Hatandis said: "Although I am old, the defense of the castle will not be old, and you are the only one who can come and go here freely, and the ghosts and ghosts will come and go behind me unconsciously." β
Joel smiled and said, "I didn't expect anyone to remember me." β
Hatandis glanced at Hierol, who had fallen to the ground, and said, "What did you do to him?"
Joel said: "Don't worry, he can't die, I'll just let him sleep for a while." After all, it is better for children to listen less to adults. You tell me...... Lord Hatandis ......"
Knowing that Hierol was fine, Hathandis was a little relieved, took a deep breath, leaned back, and said, "Joel, it's really as Jerol said, you and Marlulian ......" Speaking of this, Hathandis couldn't help but flash a trace of melancholy on his face.
Joel slowly leaned over, leaned against Hatandis's back, and smiled, "Why, I can't accept this fact for a while, right? If it weren't for Malulian blocking my blow for you, do you think you would still be alive today?"
Hatandis said, "Then why didn't you avenge Marulian, and why didn't you find an opportunity to kill me later?"
Joel sneered, "Why kill you? If you die, how can my lovely son enjoy a happy life, and how can I have a chance to get this ancient city now?"
Despicable!
Hatandis was furious, and shouted in his old and hoarse voice, "It turns out that all this is your conspiracy!
Hahaha!
Joel stretched out his other hand, grabbed Hatandis's chin, put his face up, and said, "Sad......?" he suddenly smiled sadly, and said, "Since the day Phantom Sha died, I will never feel sorry for a woman again." Marulian is your favorite, but for me, she's just a tool for me to vent. β
Joel paused slightly, and then said: "Originally, you could have lived a few more years, but who told Jia'er that she didn't marry Ai Yingsha, and the plan failed......?" The only way to have the Celestial City is to snatch the Sakura Castle first. β
"Damn!" Hatandis was so angry that he even wanted to turn around and fight the demon behind him, but a gust of air rushed up from his body, and he couldn't help coughing twice.
Joel shook his head regretfully and said, "Old, you're old." Now you're probably struggling to even walk!"
After a moment of respite, Hatandis leaned back in his chair and looked silently at the sky. He remembered the day Marulian died, and he remembered the words she had spoken before she died.
Marulian, that's what you mean when you say I'm sorry......
"Alright. Joel said, "You know everything you should know, and you should be damned, haven't you always wanted to see Marulian? β
Wait a minute!
Joel said, "What? Do you ask for mercy?"
The temperature in the palace is moderate, and under the protection of magical decorations, no matter what the outside temperature is, the temperature in the room will be controlled to make the human body feel very comfortable. But at this moment, Hatendis seemed to feel a blow coming over him, and his hair was raised back.
Hatandis's facial muscles twitched, and his eyes gradually clouded, "I have taken care of your son for more than twenty years, and I have never treated him badly. I hope you will spare my son. β
After a pause, Hatandis added, "We are both fathers, and you should be able to understand my feelings." Joel, at this moment, I still don't hold a grudge against Gray Mengsijia, I just hope that you can give Jerol a way out. β
Joel glanced at Jerol, who had fallen to the ground, and paused for a long time before nodding and saying, "I promise you." β
A faint smile bloomed on Hatandis's bony face.
It was his last smile.
Joel raised his arm and slowly moved towards Hierol, his fingers gradually spreading like an orchid. Countless rotating air currents are instantly generated between the fingers, spreading outward in the center of the palm of the hand.
Hierol's body gradually began to tremble, and the short sword at his waist was slowly withdrawn, and the scabbard collided with it to make a "dang dang" sound.
The corners of Joel's mouth curved slightly, his fingers stretched inward, and the short sword flew completely out of its scabbard. Joel pulled his arm back sharply, and the dagger spun in half in mid-air, and flew quickly.
Burst!
There was a muffled sound, Joel's eyes were blood-red, and Hatandis opened his eyes helplessly, looking ahead.
On his chest was a blood-red rose. At the center of the flower was a gift from Jerol to his son on his fifteenth birthday.
Joel was pleased with the ending, sticking out his tongue and sucking in the blood that had splashed on the corner of his mouth. His brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly sighed that the blood of this old thing was tasteless.

A few hundred meters out of the city, Zhao Yan released the Menghan generation and rode on the back of a tiger with Namanzi. He turned his head and took in the view of the celestial city.
In the sky of the heavenly city, there is a haze. Zhao Yan's heart suddenly showed a trace of bad feelings.
Seeing Zhao Yan's displeased look, Na Manzi said, "What's the matter, Yan?"
Zhao Yan said lightly: "I always feel that after we leave, something seems to have happened in Tiancheng." β
Namanzi said, "How can this be? Wasn't it okay when we came out?"
Call!
Zhao Yan exhaled deeply and said, "But I suddenly felt that things were not so simple. β
The sky gradually darkened, Zhao Yan turned around and said, "I don't want to think about it first, it's important to go back!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Four figures of different colors suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Yan, and glanced at the four people, Zhao Yan sighed secretly.
The man in yellow smiled: "You're right, it's really not that simple. β
Zhao Yan said: "The four famous thieves are you. β
A yin smile appeared on the faces of the four of them, and the wind thief said, "That's right. β
Zhao Yan sighed and said lightly: "If you say so, Joel is also here." β
"Yes! but ...... It's not your turn for Master Joel to clean up for yourself. β
"Could it be!" Zhao Yan was startled and glanced at the rear, could it be that Joel went to the castle?
The wind thief slowly took a step forward, and a golden light gradually flashed behind him, and said with a sneer: "Boy, I couldn't catch you before, and I will never let you go today." β
Namanzi whispered, "Yan, what should I do?"
Zhao Yan didn't have a trace of panic on his face, and said, "You hold on to me, no matter what happens, don't let go." β
Wind Thief laughed: "Don't try to play any tricks, I know you have a lot of ghost ideas, but today we will not underestimate the enemy." β
Hearing this, the three people behind the wind thief all glowed with their own light behind them.
Zhao Yan sneered: "My face is really not small! I cleaned up an S-level mage, and actually let four SS-level thieves attack at the same time." β
The wind thief stretched out his arms and spread out his palms, and the yellow light behind him actually merged into two balls of light in the palm of his hand. In the yellow ball of light, there was a trace of green lightning entwining.
"Of course, you are the city lord of Sakura City, how dare we underestimate you?" The wind thief was scared, remembering that when he first followed Lord Joel, he let him run away because he despised Zhao Yan, which indirectly led to the failure of Joel's plan. If you want a well-behaved duel, he won't necessarily pay attention to ten more Zhao Yan, but God knows how many ghost ideas this kid has in his head.
He didn't dare to treat Zhao Yan as an S-class opponent.
He even said that he couldn't set a definite level for the opponent in front of him.
The wind thief said gloomily: "Brothers, the eldest brother said that he will be executed on the spot!"
Zhao Yan caught the sharp flicker in the wind thief's eyes, and suddenly the tiger under his crotch rushed towards the four famous thieves as if he had gone crazy.
Na Manzi was a little puzzled, the four people in front of him had obviously stored their qi, and their attack skills could be launched at any time, it was impossible for Zhao Yan not to see it, but why did he rush forward hard?
It was true that the speed of the Menghan generation was fast, but he wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that he would be able to dodge the attacks of the four of them at such a close distance, right?
They're all high-ranking SS-class thieves!
Despite the countless doubts in her heart, Namanzi still remembered what Zhao Yan said to herself.
No matter what happens, don't let go of him.
Namanzi believes in Zhao Yan, no matter what the moment is, it is like this.
Zhao Yan's actions surprised the four famous thieves, and they couldn't help frowning when they saw him riding a tiger and rushing towards him.
What is this kid doing, scared crazy by the fear of death?
Maybe he thought that his broken tiger could knock us away?
The four famous thieves did not dare to take it lightly again, and under the order of the wind thief, eight darts formed by the light flew towards Zhao Yan at the same time.
At the moment of crashing into the four famous thieves, Zhao Yan suddenly turned around, hugged Namanzi tightly and pressed her under him, and used his body as Namanzi's shield.
At the same time, Meng Han's eyes suddenly bloomed with bright red light, and the light closed around it and the contours of Zhao Yan's body. In the red light, there is a blood-like body of light flowing rapidly, and each time it flows, the red color becomes more dazzling.
Gradually, the red light was draped in a layer of light-gathering scales from bottom to top, as if it had become the skin of Zhao Yan and Menghan's generation, as if it had become substantial.
Ah Er's defensive stunt, Dragon Scales!
At the same time as releasing the dragon scales, Ah Er controlled the Menghan generation to run left and right, but it was too close to the four famous thieves, and it was a miracle that two of the eight darts had been dodged.
Zhao Yan inserted six light darts behind his back, but the Menghan generation was not affected in the slightest, but ran out faster.
And Zhao Yan also seemed to be stained on the back of a tiger, and the light dart did not knock him down.
Under the noses of the four famous thieves, the Menghan generation carried the two of them and rushed towards the leafy forest.
The four thieves have a lot of experience, and they have seen countless fast mounts, but it is the first time they have seen a tiger running so fast.
The fire thief said angrily, "Damn! let this kid run away again!"
The wind thief was also secretly surprised, as if every time he saw Zhao Yan, he would feel that he was even more mysterious.
However, there was no trace of melancholy on the wind thief's face, and he sneered: "This time, he can't run away." He was hit by my wind dart, and the faster he ran, the faster he died. β
Hahaha!
Let's go, keep chasing!
......
"Get out of the way!
Inside the Celestial City Castle, Fira's face was panicked and she ran frantically inside.
If it had been Isha, the soldiers on guard might have been a little more polite. But what is Fira's identity, they naturally won't let her be so nonsense.
"This is the castle land, what are you yelling about?"
Fila whispered in the guard's ear, and the guard's face turned pale, and he hurriedly pulled her into the castle.
"Quick! go and inform Prime Minister Van Buwen!"
When Van Buwen anxiously rushed to the palace, the tragic state of the palace could not help but make his hair stand on end. In his eyes, it is not the picture in front of him that is cruel, but the two people in the picture.
The old lord of the city lay on his throne without blinking, and his precious son slept at his feet, which could have been seen as a scene of father-son affection and the death of both. But when everyone saw the short sword on the old city lord's chest, it was as if the time of the whole world had stopped.
Bu Fanwen knew the dagger, and he remembered that when Hathandis found it, he had a meal with him. His love for his precious son was always in the eyes of Van Buwen.
He was wondering what was going on here, and he couldn't help but shudder at the worst.
Van Buwen approached the two of them, the old lord was dead, and Jerol was still alive.
The wise Van Buwen did not rush to wake up Jerol and asked, "What is going on?"
The captain of the pro-soldier walked out of the crowd and said, "It was Phila who came to report the news, and we broke in, and when we came in, this was what it looked like." β
Fira?
Van Buwen turned and looked at the woman with a frightened face.
Fira's face was full of tears at the moment, but in the face of Van Buwen, she seemed to have courage again. In the Heavenly City, everyone knows how the Prime Minister Fan Buwen is just and selfless.
Fila told Fan Buwen everything she knew, and Fan Buwen's face was clouded.
He couldn't believe that what Fira said was true, but he had to believe the truth before his eyes.
At this moment, all those in the palace were Hatandis's most trusted personal soldiers during his lifetime, and Fan Buwen did not let them avoid it, and listened to Fira's explanation together.
According to Fira, her young lady Isa has always been troubled by Hatandis's decision not to allow Jerol to marry her because of her status, but the infatuated Jerol did not abandon Isa because of her father's wishes, so she did not look for other women. This is a fact, and the citizens of the city are also seeing it.
Isha takes advantage of Jerol's affection for her, often sowing discord between father and son in front of him, and asking him to defend himself against his younger brother, who covets the throne of the city lord. Hirol's love for Isha is so deep that she puts her at the forefront of almost everything. In this war, Gray Meng Sijia led the army to resist the Ai Yingyan army, and if it was victorious, its limelight would far overshadow Yerol. Even if he didn't win, he took control of the city.
In order to marry Jerol and become the wife of the city lord, Isha desperately charmed Jerol, finally made him make this decision. Taking advantage of the absence of troops in the city, Gray Mengsijia and Monchi killed Hatandis while they were outside, and then took over as the eldest son of the city.
Their plan was flawless, but it was unknown why Hierol fainted, presumably during a fierce fight with the old city lord. But unfortunately, the old city lord was still killed by this unfilial son.
Fila burst into tears as she spoke, and while she was crying and sad, she also showed a slight panic and the unbearable betrayal of her master.
Fan Buwen pondered for a long time, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Fila, you have to think clearly about what you are talking about. β
Hearing this, Fila knelt down with a "plop" and cried: "Prime Minister, the young lady treats me like a mountain, and the eldest prince also regards me as his own sister." But...... But I really can't stand this life of fear. When I overheard their plan this time, I couldn't stand it, it was terrible, it was terrible!"
"It's a nightmare for me!"
Whining!
After saying that, Fira cried again.
Fan Buwen only felt that his chest was pressed by a big stone, and it was not strange for the royal family, for the sake of rights and status, to kill their fathers and their own brothers to kill each other. As the prime minister, Fan Buwen will not feel any curiosity about the second thing whether it is experience or understanding of history, in his heart, justice is greater than emotion, which is why Gray Meng Sijia often secretly woos him but touches his nose.
He let out a deep breath and walked slowly towards Hatandis. As soon as Hatandis died, Jerol was charged with such a crime, and he was the most dignified and powerful person in the Celestial City.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on him to see how the prime minister dealt with this matter.
His power and prestige were able to replace Hatandis with the two erring princes.
"Prime Minister!" the captain of the pro-soldier suddenly walked out.
Van Buwen looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
The captain of the pro-soldier said, "The eldest prince also brought two people in. β
Van Buwen said: "Go on. β
The captain of the personal soldiers nodded and said, "The eldest prince and those two people will take us out as soon as they come in, and when we were guarding outside, we heard a quarrel in the palace, but it was the city lord who ordered us to come out, and we didn't dare to go in without permission." But it didn't take long for the two men who had followed the eldest prince in at the same time to come out, and they were wearing cloaks, and we couldn't see their faces clearly, which was very mysterious. β
Van Buwen stared closely into the eyes of the captain of the pro-soldier and said, "What do you mean?"
The captain of the pro-soldier suddenly knelt down on one knee and said: "The old city lord is as kind to Wei Chen, no matter whether the old city lord lives or dies, I will fulfill my responsibility to guard him! According to the clues provided by Fila, Wei Chen dared to speculate that bringing those two people in was the eldest prince's scheme! He originally wanted to blame the two people for killing the old city lord, but he didn't know what accident happened on the way, and the short sword inserted into the old city lord's heart had not been pulled out, and he fainted. β
Fira hurriedly stood up, as if thinking of something, and said, "I remember! When the eldest prince was discussing his plan with the young lady, he seemed to mention that he wanted to bring someone to blame or something." β
Van Buwen's face was as dead as ashes, and he looked into the eyes of Jerol as if he were looking at a dead man.
