Tick, tick.

In this dark world, he looked in all directions, hopeless, "Where is this?"

"Chu Ze! Chu Ze!" someone called to him.

"Who's—who?" he said, trying to find a place where the voice was coming from.

"Chu Ze, Chu Ze!" The sound continued, as if it was constantly beating on the hills, echoing endlessly.

He looked at the sky, and then saw the light flickering, and an illusory figure gradually emerged, "Chu Ze, do you really know yourself?"

He didn't reply, for he himself was caught in the middle of it, "What do you know?"

The figure didn't intend to reply to his words, but kept flickering, disappearing and appearing, and then the space changed, the darkness was gradually infected by blood, and the sword light and sword shadow were quietly staged in the silent place.

He looked at this bloody scene, and the illusory figure resurfaced, "Chu Ze!"

His eyes stared at the phantom that was incompatible with this place, as if it was much clearer, it was a glorious and condensed color, even the dust was not contaminated, Chu Ze couldn't see his face clearly, but saw the corners of his mouth rise slightly, and then the * voice came out of his mouth, "Chu Ze, the future is as dark as an abyss!"

After a long time, I couldn't understand it, when the figure slowly faded, the heavens and the earth returned to the darkness of dead silence again, and then the ground under his feet suddenly emptied, and he fell towards the endless abyss, and that point of light was still looming.

......

This is a continuous mountain peak, the mountains and forests are towering into the clouds, countless palaces are located on the peaks, as if to touch the rising sun in the east, here is the top of the sun, Guangcang country, Guangcang Imperial City, Guangcang Imperial City is the most prosperous and lively place in Guangcang country, the endless flow of people and horses, day and night flowing, and at this time a carriage slowly drove into the Guangcang Imperial City.

"Ahhh ”

"What, you're having that nightmare again?" On the side, a woman with a beautiful face gently stroked his forehead, wiping away the cold sweat that kept oozing.

Chu Ze nodded, but didn't explain too much, and then lifted the curtains, "Mother, where are we here?"

The woman held the boy's hand and sighed with emotion, "This is the Guangcang Imperial City, where my mother stayed when she was young, how many years have passed, and I finally returned to this place again!"

Then he saw the four brilliant words on the city gate: Guangcang Imperial City.

Seeing the woman's emotion like this, an old woman on the side was also thoughtful, "Yes, I thought that when we left this place, you were only the size of Ze'er, and now your children are already the same size." ”

The woman's brows were also slightly furrowed, and her tone revealed infinite regret, "But now that I have returned to this place, I am no longer the same as I used to be! ”

In regret, she stopped the carriage and got off. The boy also got out of the car curiously, looking at the majestic scene in front of him, his eyebrows revealed curiosity, the woman looked at everything that was once familiar, it has been decades, it was just a frolicking child, but now it is a thing or a person, only this Wei Wei Imperial City has not changed at all, and only it can give herself a little comfort, the woman kept sighing, her palms kept clenching, she turned her head and said to the old woman: "Aunt Yan, take care of Ze'er!"

The guards at the city gate stopped her, "Who's coming?"

The woman looked at them coldly, and her words showed calmness, neither humility nor arrogance, "The descendants of the Chu family, come to see you!"

The main hall of the Imperial City.

In the hall, all are a golden and brilliant scene, the long beams in the hall, are all outlined with dragon patterns, dragon patterns are vivid, only the eyes are slightly empty, the center of the hall is placed a dragon seat, there is a woman sitting on the dragon seat, the woman is dressed in a golden robe, there is a dragon shadow faintly emerging on the black clothes, her eyebrows are lowered, her hair is bathed in the shimmer, occasionally there is a light sprinkled between the eyebrows, contaminated with light and dust.

She is the emperor of Guangcang Kingdom, Mu Qingxuan.

Below the hall, there was an old man, dressed in white, his face was as white as a baby, and his hair was all gray, as if he no longer had any other color except for the pair of black pupils.

The hall was quiet for a long time, and suddenly there were heavy footsteps getting closer and closer, and then a guard in armor slowly approached, "Your Majesty, there are people outside the hall who claim to be descendants of the Chu family and ask to see Your Majesty." ”

Mu Qingxuan, who was on the dragon throne, slowly opened his eyes, and then ordered, "Let her in!"

"Yes!"

When the footsteps of the guards in heavy armor gradually moved away, a light footstep gradually sounded, and when he stepped into the hall, Chu Miao bowed, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still so heroic!"

Mu Qingxuan didn't seem to like this red tape, and raised his hand, "Nonsense is less talking, what is the purpose of your coming here today?"

Chu Miao saw that Mu Qingxuan was so straightforward, so she didn't say anything more, "Okay, then I'll get straight to the point!" Then she stared at Mu Qingxuan with burning eyes, "I hope Your Majesty can do me a favor." ”

Mu Qingxuan smiled knowingly, and there seemed to be words flickering between his eyebrows, "Chu Miao, don't you know my temperament?"

Chu Miao nodded, "That's why I came today to exchange conditions with Your Majesty." ”

Mu Qingxuan seemed to be interested, and his eyebrows rose slightly, "Then let's hear it!"

Chu Miao bowed again, "In this way, I will thank Your Majesty in advance!"

......

When Chu Miao finished speaking of her conditions, Mu Qingxuan frowned slightly, and her jade hand was touched in front of her forehead, as if she was thinking about something, and after a long time, she slowly spoke, her words were serious and solemn, and the empress's majesty was undoubtedly revealed, "Do you know what the consequences of doing this are?"

Chu Miao bowed slightly, her face full of confidence, "Of course I know." ”

Seeing Chu Miao's light breeze, Mu Qingxuan was also interested, then stood up and slowly walked towards Chu Miao, "Since you know, then you are so sure that I will definitely help you?"

Chu Miao smiled knowingly, "Your Majesty, in fact, I can see your thoughts from your choice at the beginning, I believe that you will promise me, and I also believe in my choice." ”

Mu Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, this matter is up to you!" Then he turned around, walked up the steps slowly, and landed on the dragon throne again, "I will naturally help you do what you say, but I still have one condition." ”

Chu Miao's face has not changed, and now she doesn't care about any conditions, including her life, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Mu Qingxuan looked into the distance, his eyes showed a ruthless look, and he said coldly: "I hope that in the future, if your goal is achieved, your Chu family can eradicate the dark spirit with my Guangcang Kingdom!"

Chu Miaoyun smiled lightly, this matter was exactly what she wanted to do, "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, we and the Dark Tide Dark Spirit are mortal enemies in the world, even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, we will do it." ”

Mu Qingxuan nodded, "So, it's best!"

Seeing that Mu Qingxuan agreed to this, Chu Miao didn't plan to stay for long, "If Your Majesty is fine, I will retreat." ”

Mu Qingxuan nodded, and then seemed to remember something, "Wait!"

"Your Majesty, what else is going on?" Chu Miao turned around and bowed down and asked.

"Recently, the Meteoric Energy Contest is about to start, if you don't mind, I plan to arrange your son in the team of my Guangcang Kingdom, you, you won't object. ”

Chu Miao smiled, "Naturally not, this is also a kind of experience for him, why not do it, but Your Majesty, I hope that during the time I am away, you can protect him." ”

"Don't worry, I'll protect him. "Naturally, as a ninth-order ability, she has incomparable self-confidence, and it is not difficult to protect Chu Ze's thoughtfulness.

Chu Miao nodded, then turned around and retreated again.

When she retreated, Mu Qingxuan glanced at the old man in the hall, "Mu Lao, in your opinion, how sincere does this Chu Miao have?"

Mu Lao on the side stroked his gray hair, his face was old, but his voice was vigorous and powerful, "According to Weichen, this Chu Miao has already pressed all his hopes on you, after all, she is no one reliable except you, and even if she is not sincere, she is just a lone person, and she can't set off any storms, Your Majesty can relax, although she cooperates with her." ”

After listening to Mu Lao's words, Mu Qingxuan's heart was also more thorough, Chu Miao came to seek her help It was indeed desperate, but she also had her scheming, she wanted to use herself to revive the energy devouring clan, so she also wanted to use her to be the best candidate to eradicate the dark spirit, thinking of this, Mu Qingxuan no longer hesitated, nodded, and obviously agreed with Mu Lao's statement, "Then as you said, you will send a few people to serve them today, if they have any unusual behavior, come and report immediately!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

At this point, Mu Qingxuan seemed to remember something, "By the way, have all the candidates for this Meteoric Energy Competition been chosen?"

Mu Lao also nodded with joy on his face, "They have all been selected, they are all the best of the younger generation of my Bright Firmament, and they will definitely not insult the prestige of my Bright Firmament at that time!"

Mu Qingxuan bowed slightly, "Then, give up a seat to Chu Miao's son." ”

Mu Lao was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, after all, this was a matter that had been decided early in the morning, and if he made changes now, he was afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction.

Seeing Mu Lao's embarrassed face, Mu Qingxuan asked, "What, is there any difficulty?"

Mu Lao nodded, "It's indeed a little troublesome, you know, those young people are unruly, don't give in half a step, if you snatch food from their mouths, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!"

Mu Qingxuan smiled, "What's so difficult about this, wouldn't it be nice to have a fight!"
