The edict of the Son of Heaven in the dark night to select young women to enter the palace has spread in all the countries of the world, which can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. The new palace fortress, which lasted for seven years, was completed thirty miles north of the Gyeonggi royal fortress, and the Dark Night Emperor named the new palace fortress Changyang Palace.

Changyang Palace is about to become the destination of those young women, but while they are glad that their fate is too good, they are already doomed to a tragic end.

Faced with the situation that the harem beauties are gone, whenever those concubines ask the old eunuch again, the old eunuch finally has a reasonable answer, "Uh...... They were all chosen by His Majesty to go to Changyang Palace!"

In just a few months, the dungeon of the palace has been piled up with the corpses of more than a hundred young women. When the old eunuch threw the female corpse into the underground palace again, he found some clues, and the previous corpses did not decompose at all.

Even the first female corpse thrown in was still the same as when it was first thrown in, and the blood stains had not yet coagulated. This phenomenon couldn't help but make the old eunuch suddenly creepy. He really couldn't understand why the body of a person who had been dead for a few months hadn't changed at all, even though it had been a winter, and the temperature in the dungeon wasn't high.

The old eunuch couldn't help but touch the first female corpse he threw in, and her skin was still elastic. In an instant, the female corpse turned into a black miasma in the shape of a human, and some of it was also sucked into the body by the old eunuch.

The old eunuch immediately coughed a few times.

Just these few coughing sounds turned the previous female corpses into miasma, leaving only white bones and a few female corpses that had just been thrown in.

The old eunuch was so frightened that he crawled out of the dungeon, and the old eunuch, who had always been careful, did not forget to lock the door of the dungeon. But the miasma spread through the cracks in the door and permeated the palace.

Many attentive people will find that the atmosphere in the royal city is becoming more and more strange, and the crows in the sky above the royal city cover the sky and the sun.

As the old eunuch fell ill, whether it was the concubines and palace maids or the military generals who had contact with him, they all fell ill one by one. Their body temperature was as high as a charcoal fire, and they coughed up blood, and even the imperial physicians were helpless. Eventually, the Seven Orifices bled to death.

A great spring plague broke out in the palace and quickly swept through the entire royal city of Gyeonggi. The panic caused by the outbreak of the plague caused chaos in the huge Gyeonggi Royal City, and thousands of people began to flee the Gyeonggi Royal City.

Even the queen Gongsun Mingyue took advantage of the chaos to flee from the royal city of Gyeonggi and went to the feudal kingdom of her brother Gongsun Jingyang. Gongsun Jingyang, who had previously returned to the feudal kingdom and originally planned to gather vassals to crusade against the Dragon Wing, was also disrupted by this plague.

At this time, the royal city of Gyeonggi was already a purgatory on earth, and the ministers and ministers fled back to their feudal kingdoms to close off the country to prevent the plague from spreading in their feudal countries.

Those young women who were selected to enter the palace were also in a dilemma. The current situation is that those young women who do not enter the palace are capital crimes, and when they enter the palace, they are either bitten to death by the Son of Heaven in the dark night or infected with the plague and die, whether horizontal or vertical. Many young women chose to run away, after all, no one wanted to die in Gyeonggi Royal City.

Some powerful princes and monarchs simply brought all the young women who sacrificed the Son of Heaven into their palaces. The reason why these princes and monarchs dare to be so rebellious is that King Changyang is nearly half a hundred years old and has no heirs, and the world will change hands sooner or later.

And although these princes and monarchs are not descendants of the Chang clan, after all, they also have the blood of "light" flowing in their bodies. Besides, the throne of King Changyang is not right, according to the seniority, the throne is not the turn of Changyang, who is the third in line.

If it weren't for the incompetence of the crown prince Chang Yao who was incompetent after the death of the first king, and was usurped by the second prince Chang Ming of the conservative faction and caused chaos in the world, how could the third prince Changyang, who has always been unfavored, sit on the throne?

Therefore, some powerful princes relied on their own relatives with the Chang royal family, and when they saw that the king of Changyang was extinct, they all set their sights on the throne of the Son of Heaven. As everyone knows, although King Changyang has no heirs, he has already walked on the road to eternal life.

It's just that the Dark Night Son himself didn't expect this plague to break out so suddenly. Although he lived in Changyang Palace before the outbreak of the plague, the royal city of Gyeonggi was dead silent, and the crows covered the sky and the sun, and there was a strange and desolate situation everywhere.

King Changyang, who has reached the pinnacle of power, can no longer see the ministers under his command except for the warlocks of Changyang Palace. At this time, the power in his hands has come to naught. And all of this is of His own making, and this is the price of eternal life.

Since then, the Son of Heaven of the Dachang Dynasty is no longer bright. Perhaps behind the absolute light, there is absolute darkness.

After all, the paper still can't keep the fire, and the matter of King Changyang sucking the blood of a young woman for eternal life was stabbed out by a person named Nangongzi.

This stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the princes of the world exploded. No one could believe that the Son of Heaven, who had supreme power, had become a bloodthirsty devil.

The news of being poked out became more and more intense, and even the Son of Heaven in the dark night sucked the body of a young woman hidden in the underground palace, which eventually led to the outbreak of the plague, and was also poked out by Nangongzi.

For a while, the hearts of the Dark Night Heavenly Sons were completely lost, and even the Nine Star Elders of the Chang Sect didn't know what to do, and finally abandoned their oath to guard the Chang royal family—at least they abandoned the Changyang King, the Dark Night Heavenly Son.

A night rain of lightning and thunder washed away the miasma that enveloped the royal city of Gyeonggi, and the next day the sky was clear. But the corpses of the Gyeonggi Royal City and the vicinity that died due to the plague mysteriously disappeared.

To the north of the royal city of Gyeonggi, a flock of crows is flying north. In the dark land under the shade of crows, the Son of Darkness rode a two-headed beast and led a group of ghouls towards the extreme north where the Hades king Anarakshasa was located.

The Gu worms that were originally parasitic in the corpses of the Star Warriors gradually grew, and finally broke out of their shells like cicada chrysalis, and finally turned into bloodthirsty monsters. One of the mutated two-headed beasts became the mount of the Son of Night.

It didn't take long for an even more exciting news to be dug up, it turned out that Nangongzi was Changming's illegitimate son. Chang Ming, who was once the second prince, lived in Nangong, so Nangongzi's mother gave him this name.

It was also because Nangongzi was an illegitimate child that he escaped the catastrophe and did not suffer a catastrophe. Although he is only an illegitimate child, it can be regarded as a renewal of incense for the Chang royal family.

Knowing that the former king still had children alive, it turned out that those old ministers who were loyal to Changming found Nangongzi and supported him as king. For a time, the major princes rose up, and began to form gangs and factions to grab land on the top of the mountain under the banner of upholding justice.

It was at this time that Gongsun Mingyue announced the birth of a prince and claimed to be an orthodox Miao descendant of the Chang royal family. Although he was a freak who died shortly after birth, Gongsun Jingyang stole a beam, found another baby to replace the freak, and proclaimed him king.

Although they have never seen what the prince of Gongsun Mingyue looks like, there are still many people who rely on the power of Gongsun Jingyang and join their camp.

The devil in the north, the collapsed kingship, the fallen way of heaven, the chaotic world - the Chang Dynasty has existed in name only, and the Son of Heaven no longer exists. Etiquette collapsed, demonic beasts were rampant, and the world of great controversy had come.

The outbreak of the plague in the Gyeonggi Royal City and the fact that the King of Changyang had become a bloodthirsty devil reached the Dragon Lord, and the two Great Elders, like the Young Dragon Lord, were so shocked that they didn't say anything for a long time.

Especially Wu Chengzi, who smiled bitterly: "Hahahaha...... This is the Son of Heaven who is blessed by the gods? This is the king whom the cultivators of the Chang Sect have sworn to protect? A Son of Heaven who has become a devil, a bloodthirsty king, how can he be protected by the gods, how can he be protected by thousands of stars and warriors?"

Wen Chengzi said: "In the early years, I heard that when King Changyang was born, his body was cold, so he killed his mother. Elder Yuheng once asserted that the third prince was the son of the Hades. Because of this, he has always been unfavored in front of the previous kings, and even when he grew up, he still lived in a dilapidated courtyard. It wasn't until he met the Imperial Relic that he accumulated strength step by step, and finally sat on the throne and became the co-lord of the world. But now he has become a bloodthirsty devil and leads an army of strangers to the frozen land of the far north, where the immortal king Anarakshasa rests. ”

The Young Dragon Lord asked, "Elder Wen is saying that the Son of Darkness led the army of strange ghosts to the frozen land of the extreme north, and the purpose was to awaken the Hades King?"

"After the battle of the ancient gods," replied Bunchengzi, "the Hades King Anarakshasa was driven to the frozen land of the Far North, the Sea King Atlanti was driven to the isolated island of the East China Sea, the Demon King Asura was driven to the Southern Desert, and the Heavenly King Atalsu was driven to the Western Regions Snow Mountain. They have each been asleep for more than 9,000 years, and if they all wake up now, this world will face the debrinction of life again!"

"That's all legends," the Young Dragon Lord didn't want to believe, "no one has ever seen them as they really are. ”

"No, someone has seen it," Wen Chengzi's tone was very affirmative, "The ancestors of the Dragon and Phoenix Lin clans have seen it, and they have also joined forces to drive them out of this continent. ”

"This ......," Wu Chengzi interjected, "This is indeed the case, the Bagua Array and the Seven Star Array in those monuments were left behind at that time." ”

"Monuments are still monuments after all, and it doesn't say anything. "The Young Dragon Lord insisted on his opinion.

Wu Chengzi looked sad and said: "At present, the plague is raging, demons and monsters are appearing, natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, and the darkest era has quietly come. After thousands of years, Changjiao is the inheritance of light. I am also the messenger of the light, and I vow to fight the darkness to the end. ”

"The darkest, the most terrifying, will never be the demons and monsters, but the human heart. Shaolong said earnestly.

"That's right," Wen Chengzi agreed with the Young Dragon Lord's statement, "There is no absolute light in the world, and there is no absolute darkness. Everything in the world comes from chaos and will return to chaos. No matter how bright the sun is, the shadows under your feet are still dark. In everything, there is yang and yin, and there is positive and negative. ”

"In the darkness, the heart is towards the light. The Young Dragon Lord blurted out.

The appearance of the little dragon girl brought bad news to the young dragon lord and the two great elders.

The sudden plague and chaos in the world had a great impact on the Dragon Kingdom. First of all, the chaotic situation has hindered the circulation of the Dragon Crystal Ring Coin in the Dragon Kingdom, and most of the contracts that communicate with each other have become empty talk.

Secondly, the situation of the princes fighting each other led to a significant increase in the demand for horses, and the Dragon Kingdom was unable to buy horses in large quantities as desired. This made the Young Dragon Lord's plan to train cavalry temporarily shelved, and the most important thing at the moment was to garrison military fortresses.

After joining Gongsun Jingyang's camp, Xianningzi also wanted to use Gongsun Jingyang's power to regain the lost territory. Fortunately, he was rejected by Gongsun Jingyang several times on the grounds of guarding against illegitimate children in the north. But it was a matter of time before the lost territory was regained, but Gongsun Jingyang felt that the time was not yet ripe.

Many times, the Young Dragon Lord regretted that he did not annihilate Xianningzi's forces in one fell swoop at that time, because he had always been harassed by this raccoon dog recently. It would have been nice if I had chased down the three giants and used them for me!

However, looking back, if you really fought hard at that time, you might still be the one who suffered. After all, even if you can annihilate that raccoon dog in one fell swoop, it will consume too much of the strength of the Dragon Kingdom. In the current situation, there is no room for risk, and steady progress is the long-term solution.

In two or three months, the four towns around Dragon City have been repaired. Many swamps were also dug for drainage and reclaimed into fertile land.

The latest census results have also come out, and there are as many as 100,000 people, of whom more than 20,000 are fugitive slaves and refugees.

The sudden influx of so many people into the Hetao area has caused a great food crisis in the Dragon Kingdom. These 100,000 mouths have to eat and drink every day, and the food stock in Dragon City has bottomed out. Now, the Young Dragon Lord regrets his act of burning grain in the first place.

Nowadays, it is a sin to waste even a grain of corn, let alone burn down the entire granary. What a sin that must be! The Young Dragon Lord couldn't help but reproach himself.

And the current situation is particularly bad, there is a plague in the north, a sword in the Central Plains, and a flood in the south.

In order to satisfy their hunger, the people caught all the fish in the rivers and dug up the wild vegetables in the fields. Even the two dragons were hungry and thin, there was no way, they already had an amazing amount of food, not to mention that the wild beasts in the mountains were also captured, and they could only go farther away to forage for food.

On several occasions, the young dragon lord moved the idea of slaughtering horses to satisfy his hunger. But horses are the hope of the Dragon Kingdom, and no matter what, they must not be killed.

Not to mention killing horses, even the sheep thief Asura was greedy and scratched a foal, and he was severely taught a lesson by the young dragon lord. So much so that for a long time, the sheep thief did not dare to approach the side of the young dragon lord.

In order to make up for the mistakes he made, the sheep thief would catch a prey from a long distance and come back almost every day to put it in front of the young dragon master. Although sometimes it only brings back a porcupine weighing more than a dozen pounds, it insists on doing so every day.

This move of the sheep thief even affected the good girl, and she also joined the ranks of hunting far away.

But on this day, when the sheep thief came back with a cow in disarray, he stuck two arrows in the weak wings of the scales, and the blood continued to flow down the cracks in the scales.

Seeing this, the young dragon lord touched the injured wings of the sheep thief, and his eyes were wet with tears. At this moment, the young dragon lord blamed himself a little, whether the previous punishment of the sheep thief was too severe.
