As the wind receded, I came out of my dormitory and began to search for my family's whereabouts.

The night was very dark, and I ran all the way, and the huge imperial palace was as silent as death.

The closest to my dormitory is the dormitory of Brother Arrow, I saw the green flame beast from a distance, he kept moving back and forth in place, as if looking for his master, I suddenly had a bad premonition, pushed open the door of the dormitory, I saw my brother who had already lost his breath, and the bones in his body were almost shattered.

I froze, standing outside the door for a long time and did not dare to lift my feet, the hall was in a mess, and all the guards and maids were not spared.

"Xingcan, is that you?" A faint voice suddenly came from behind him, and when he looked back, it was his grandfather.

He shuffled towards me with heavy steps.

"Grandpa! It's me! I wiped the tears from my eyes and replied, "My brother is gone, and Xingge can't be found, I ......"

Grandpa came to me and stretched out his hand to comb my unkempt hair, and I realized that the placket of his shirt had already been stained with blood, and there was a terrible hole in his chest, as if he had been pierced directly with multiple swords.

"You... Are you injured? "I looked nervously at my grandfather, and everyone could tell that almost all of his injuries were fatal.

Grandpa leaned against the door of his brother's dormitory and sat down slowly, and then said with difficulty: "Yes, I am very seriously injured, I am afraid I will not last long!" ”

Seeing my grandfather's painful appearance, my mind was in turmoil, so I just took his hand and said, "Grandpa, let's go find Holma, he is the best shepherd of the Thousand Spirit Clan, there must be a way to save you!" "I don't know where Holma is at this time, but I can't watch my grandfather's life die in front of me.

Grandpa shook his head, pulled me back to his side, and said, "Holma has fallen into the hands of the Thousand Shadows, and if you go now, you will be sent to death!" ”

"Then what should I do, my brother is gone, I don't want to lose you anymore!" I said with a hint of crying, a fear that I had never felt before.

Grandpa took me into his arms, patted me on the back and comforted, "Child, don't be afraid..."

I rested my head on my grandfather's shoulder, his chest was wide and warm, and despite the injury, the strong sense of security in my bones made me no longer afraid.

After a long time, Grandpa slowly let go of his hand, and then straightened my body, I looked at him, it was the first time I was so close to him, even if I was seriously injured, it still couldn't hide the unforgiving light in his eyes. "Child, listen to me, I will give you all my life's cultivation now, you can find a way to get out of here, the emperor is about to die, you are the only hope of my Thousand Spirit Clan, you must live well!"

Hearing Grandpa's words, I hurriedly took a few steps back, "No, grandpa, I can't ask for your cultivation!" I ......"

"Xingcan!!" Grandpa closed his eyes and shouted at me: "My time is running out, don't let me bother to persuade you anymore, the King of the Thousand Shadows Clan will come here at any time, do you want Grandpa's lifelong cultivation to fall into the hands of others like this?" ”

I was stunned, what my grandfather said was not unreasonable, if Burke found out about us, it would inevitably take away my grandfather's cultivation, in that case, for the entire emperor and even the Thousand Spirit Clan, it would really be a catastrophe, thinking of this, I reluctantly agreed to my grandfather's words.

We temporarily hid in my brother's dormitory, grandpa found a place to sit against the wall, and I also sat on the ground at arm's length away from him, after everything was ready, grandpa began to slowly transfer the cultivation to me, with the input of the first ray of spiritual power, the red mark on my chest flashed again.

"Grandpa, do you know the origin of my red mark?" I asked as I received my grandfather's spiritual power, I had asked Holma the same question before, but he didn't tell me anything.

Grandpa was silent for a moment, and finally told me about the seal, "This seal remembers that from the time you were born, you were born with a huge amount of spiritual power in your body, and that kind of spiritual power was even far beyond the range I could bear, but at that time I was also surprised to find that you were actually a child with an incomplete congenital heart, in order to let you be born safely, and in order to let you grow up and not be hunted down by other races out of jealousy, I had to find a way to seal your spiritual power, I originally wanted to try to keep this secret before you became an adult, But I miscalculated, that time in the Sea of Mist, your spiritual power instinctively released to save your life when you were in danger, and since then, I know that the sigil can no longer completely suppress it, which is why I will send Holma to you. ”

"Actually, when you were born, another thing happened, do you remember the daughter of the head of the palace maid before you, Iridium? She was going to tell you that day, but she was taken away by the head maid before she could finish speaking, and she actually wanted to tell you about your mother. ”

"Mother?" I was stunned, in my memory, my mother's impression was blank, I only knew that she was from the Thousand Feather Clan, "Father said that after I and Xingge were born, my mother would return to the Thousand Feather Clan." I said.

Grandpa shook his head and sighed lightly: "Actually, she has never left you, due to the backlash of your spiritual power, your mother fell into a coma not long after you were born, Holma rescued her for three days and three nights, but in the end she still couldn't save her, because she couldn't stand the blow, your father aged twenty years overnight." ”

My heart suddenly tingled, I had never seen my mother for so many years, and I didn't know the truth of the matter until today, she left because of me, and I had complained about her in my heart, complaining about why she never came back to see me.

"Your father misses your mother too much, and after so many years, he has not married another queen." As Grandpa spoke, his body trembled slightly, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his forehead.

"Grandpa..."I wanted to look back at him, but was stopped by my grandfather.

"There's one more thing I want to tell you, it's about you and Xingge."

"Grandpa, I already know, I didn't understand why you insisted on Xingge becoming the crown prince of Emperor Yan, but now I understand that he just became my stand-in, and you used Xingge to attract the attention of the Thousand Shadow Clan, thus protecting me."

"Child, forgive grandpa for a little selfishness, because your importance to the Thousand Spirit Clan is far greater than that of Xingge, if it weren't for the situation, I don't want you and any of Xingge to be hurt, after all, he is also my grandson."

Tears had already blinded my eyes, and looking out the window at the dark night, I couldn't help but worry about Xingge.

Time passed minute by minute, as my grandfather gave me more and more spiritual power, my cultivation level continued to break through, from the fifth-level Holy Spirit to the tenth-level Holy Spirit, and then from the tenth-level Holy Spirit to the first-level Super Holy Spirit, but my heart was getting more and more painful, and that kind of colic was stronger than ever.

"Grandpa, I can't take it anymore." I turned my head and said, Grandpa didn't stop, just told me not to get distracted.

After the last wisp of spiritual power entered my body, a red light flashed around me, and then, the sky above the emperor also turned red.

"The scene you had when you were born has reappeared." Grandpa said silently, and then he fell to the ground with a heavy fall.

I hurriedly turned around and picked him up, the corners of my grandfather's mouth were full of blood, he stared at me, and said with difficulty: "Child, my cultivation has been given to you completely, from now on, you are the king of the Thousand Spirit Clan." ”

"Grandpa...... "I don't know what to say.

"This is a token of the King of the Thousand Spirits, you must keep it." Grandpa handed me a palm-wide crystal bracelet, "This is left by the first generation of the Thousand Spirit Clan kings, and it has the names of the previous kings on it, and from now on, your name will also appear on it." ”

I nodded, tearfully closing the bracelet.

Grandpa's breathing became more and more rapid, he struggled to his feet, and then pushed me outside the dormitory with all his strength, "The sky is already red, Burke and his killers will be here soon, you get out of here." ”

"Grandpa, don't drive me away, I can't leave you here alone!" I turned around to go back to the dormitory, but my grandfather pushed me out again.

"Although your cultivation has reached the fourth level of the Super Holy Spirit, you are not Bock's opponent yet, don't let him find you, if something happens to you, all the hard work of grandpa will be in vain."

"Grandpa!!"

"Let's go!" Grandpa roared.

I don't know how I left my brother's dormitory that day, I just remember my grandfather looking at me from behind, and his figure grew smaller and smaller until he completely disappeared from my sight.

I ran all the way, I didn't know where I was going, the road of the Emperor's Palace, full of corpses of soldiers and guards, the sky was raining, the rain and blood were mixed together, and my stomach was nauseous.

My heart was aching and I felt suffocated, but I knew I couldn't stop.

After running for a long time, I saw Xiyunpo, and the scene in front of me became more and more blurred.

……

It was as if I had a long dream, in which Xingge kept calling my name, but I couldn't find him.

When I woke up at dawn, I found myself lying by a stream at the bottom of the slope of the stream, and I don't know when I lost my shoes on my feet.

In the direction of the palace, a flock of black heart-eaters hovered in the air, their bloodthirsty ability was very strong, and wherever there were corpses, they were there.

The Thousand Shadows Killers have all been evacuated, leaving only a large empty city.

Outside the main hall of the emperor, the corpses of the soldiers were piled up, and I held back my tears to search for my family in the crowd, and finally, in the hall, I found my father and Lan Fei'er's sister, who had the same fate as Brother Ailuo.
