Chapter 22: Heavy Shadows
"But ......," Karena looked a little puzzled, her pretty ruby eyes glinting uncertainly.
"You don't have to worry about that, Karena." Avissa pretended to be and stared at her very seriously, "If my sister's reputation and safety are threatened, then even my mother, I will fight against her to the end!" β
Karena was surprised, she knew that her master had a very strong affection for her sister, but she didn't expect it to come to such a point.
"Yes, I'm not going to ask about anything related to this anymore." Karena bowed her head and said.
Avisa patted her on the shoulder with relief, knowing full well that the captain of the guard was always worried about everything related to her, and she had been taking care of herself for so many years.
"Alright, little Lena, let's have some fun talking, shall we?" Avisha comforted Karena, who bowed her head and was silent, "I heard that the Lan family in Heiyao City is very famous......"
At this moment, a speeding white figure walked directly towards Avisha and the two, the person was always with his head down, and Avisha and Karena had to stop, "Hello? β
Bai Xuanyi was slightly startled, raised his head and saw Avisha and the two, and said with some shame, "I'm sorry I bumped into you." β
"It's okay, it's okay......" Avisha said with a smile, but after seeing Bai Xuanyi's face, she couldn't help but be stunned.
The woman in front of her had a beautiful face that could be said to be impeccable, long white hair cascading behind her like a beautiful tassel, and a pair of deep and beautiful silver eyes that seemed to be able to inhale anything.
"Uh......" Bai Xuanyi was a little at a loss, the two people in front of him were completely strangers, and he didn't know how to give himself a round.
"That'...... Nothing to do, I'll go first? Bai Xuanyi said, making a gesture to leave, but was blocked by Karena.
"Do you know who you just bumped into? She's ...... Hmm......" Avissa hurriedly covered Karina's mouth.
"I'm glad to meet you...... Then let's go first. Avissa half-dragged Karena away.
Bai Xuanyi looked at their departing backs and couldn't help but scratch his hair.
"Those two people are so strange, shouldn't they be smuggled here again......" Bai Xuanyi considered this possibility very carefully.
"Forget it, anyway, with Xiao Yu here, there shouldn't be too much of a mess." Bai Xuanyi remembered what he had to do, and hurriedly walked towards the opposite teaching building.
On the other side of the playground, Avissa let go of the hand covering Karina's mouth and looked into her grumpy eyes.
"Why are you pampering that commoner so much......" Karena asked, rather aggrieved.
Avisha smiled a little helplessly, "It's okay, she didn't mean it anyway, and ......"
"What?" Karena looked at Avissa with some confusion, "Did you notice anything unusual?" β
"I just felt a very powerful, yet warm aura from that girl......
Karena was even more surprised, "How so?" She's at the level of a shining star at best, how can you perceive these things? β
"I believe I'm not wrong, there is indeed some mysterious unknown power hidden in her." Avisha clasped her arms in her hands and said, "The special ability of the Imperial Imperial Family is this extremely keen perception ability. β
Karena was silent, "Since His Highness said so, then that woman has some background, and wants me to take her back to the palace?" β
"No need, this matter has not yet been decided, and the students of the Thousand Curtain Academy are not something that the royal family can get their hands on if they want to." Avisa said, "We'll go back after tonight." β
"Got it, Your Highness." Karenna said solemnly, and the two accompanied each other and returned to the bedroom that Lan Kuangming had placed for them. ......
In the Imperial Palace of Dream Imperial City, almost all the royal guards were mobilized to encircle and suppress the uninvited guests who invaded the palace.
"You must be careful!" Flying on a staff, Yasha said to the soldiers speeding below, "I can feel some unknown corrosive energy in this!" β
Soon, the guards surrounded the treasure room inside the palace, which was not large, but the royal family had specially dug a vast underground space here to store the wealth that the Darkwing Empire had accumulated for thousands of years.
"Your Highness, what are we going to do next?" The captain of the guard asked, kneeling on one knee.
"Wait a minute, I'll sense what's invading here first." Yasha approached the outside of the house and pressed the tip of her staff against the wall.
Yasha closed her eyes, and the staff began to glow a faint blue, and a few strands of light seeped into the wall.
After a long time, Yasha opened her eyes, and to her surprise, the end of the staff in her hand near the wall was mostly eroded by the black substance.
"Your Highness!" The guards hurriedly shouted, and everyone wanted to come forward to help Asha out of danger.
"Don't move!!" Yasha shouted, stopping the crowd from moving, her hands gripping the staff tightly, and the blue light began to spread throughout her body, contending with the black substance.
For a long time, the black substance could not withstand the powerful impact of the blue light again and again, and gradually dimmed, and soon, it disappeared completely.
"Your Highness Yasha......" The captain of the guards who witnessed all this breathed a sigh of relief, if the imperial sister did something under their protection, Her Majesty would have to behead them all.
"Alright, you can go in." Yasha looked very tired, holding on to the wall and gasping slightly, "But don't hurt the princess." β
"What? Princess? The captain of the guard was shocked, "Is it ......?"
Yasha glared at him fiercely, "Get in there and find them!" Her Majesty the Empress should have already gone in, and if something happens to my sister, the responsibility is all on your head! β
The guards rushed into the treasure room.
Yasha sighed and slowly walked to the door of the treasure room by holding on to the wall, thoughtful.
β...... You must not have an accident, the fate of the empire depends on this, my sister ......"
In the treasure room, the Empress is carefully searching with the Demon Slayer who has completely disappeared.
"What anomalies did you find?" The Empress asked.
"Not yet, Your Majesty, but we're close." A male Demon Slayer replied.
"Can you sense their power, then?" The Empress asked.
However, this time, the Demon Slayer was collectively silent, and the empress, who sensed this reaction, couldn't help but frown.
If Demon Slayer does not answer her question, then it means that the answer to the question is no longer within the control of Demon Slayer.
After a long time, the Empress and the others walked into one of the largest exhibition rooms, which contained almost all of the most powerful artifacts accumulated by the Darkwing Empire.
"Come out!" The Empress shouted, her crisp voice echoing through the large room, "You've been waiting here, haven't you?" β
However, there was no answer, the empress's doubts were getting deeper and deeper, and her perception should not be wrong, so they deliberately did not answer themselves.
Thinking of this, the empress whispered, "Demon Slayer Stars, force them out." β
After a few seconds, the surrounding walls were suddenly covered with a dark blue liquid substance, and soon the entire wall was filled with this dangerous substance.
A little bit of solidified black light began to appear in the room, and the owner was extremely destructive, but the barrier in front of the empress made it impossible for the black light to hurt her.
β...... Still not coming out? "The Empress was a little impatient, and just as she wanted to do it herselfβ
A dagger inlaid with six precious stones suddenly flew out of the counter of the exhibition and flew towards the Empress.
The dagger pierced into the barrier in front of the empress, and the solid barrier began to crack faintly.
Beads of sweat began to appear on the Empress's forehead, and the surrounding Demon Slayer began to fire thin bows and arrows towards the dagger.......
The bow and arrow were shot at the dagger, and the dagger began to slowly disintegrate, and finally disappeared completely.
At this moment, two figures that had not been seen for a long time slowly walked out of the shadows.
When she saw the woman's face clearly, the empress was surprised and never before.
"Ladia?!" The Empress's voice trembled visibly, "You...... How so? β
Laetia opened her dark purple eyes and looked at her mother with a look of evil, cruelty, and cruelty that she had never seen before.
"Yastina, it's great that you're here today as a witness!"
"What do you want, what do you want, witness?" The Empress tried her best to keep herself calm.
Laetia clapped her hands, and the man next to her slowly stepped forward.
"Sikas...... Are you controlling him? The Empress asked, holding out her right hand and pointing the ring at Laetia.
"What do you think, my mother?" Laetia's voice was filled with a cruel smile, "I guarantee you'll be incredibly excited about what's next." β
The empress didn't dare to hesitate any longer, "Demon Killer Star, go and take down the princess!" β
In an instant, a dense rain of arrows shot at the smiling Letia, but it disappeared completely almost instantly.
"It's ......" the empress couldn't believe it.
"Hahaha......" Letia laughed again, stretching out her left hand, a dark purple flame beating on her palm, "Mother, you are no longer in control as much as you used to. β
Laetea throws the flames, which come into contact with the blue barrier, which begins to corrode until it disappears completely.
"How is this possible?!" The Empress's voice was a little desperate, and she looked into her daughter's eyes, which had become unfamiliar.
