Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 523 Cannibalism

"You...you, what on earth do you want to do..." Xiaoxue, covered in cold sweat, curled up in the iron cage and shivered. The poison of Caihuaxiang and the rebounding magic just now tortured her to death. If she hadn't had a strong will, she would have fainted long ago.

"Now the emperor has decided to move to the Western Capital, and the troops are heading towards the White Tiger Gate. I want you to use sorcery to confuse the guards, so that they lose their nature and kill each other."

"You are so mean, I won't help you." Xiaoxue scolded fiercely, but because of the exhaustion, her voice sounded particularly weak.

"Anyway, you monsters, aren't you living to endanger the human world? For you, killing is just a matter of the blink of an eye. As long as you do me a favor, you can return to Concubine Gan's side." Liuguang sneered at the trembling Xiaoxue.

"You, just kill me... I, I won't... be your accomplice..." Xiaoxue glared at Liuguang fiercely. A resolute light suddenly burst out from her tired eyes.

"I knew you would say that. Fortunately, I was prepared." Liuguang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a profound smile.

Xiaoxue shivered and stared at Liuguang timidly. Suddenly, she had a very bad premonition.

"Go and bring that woman up." Liuguang turned around and gave an order to the two strong men.

The strong man left and came back after a while, escorting a weak woman.

After hearing the footsteps, Xiaoxue slowly twisted her stiff neck and looked back at the door. After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, her gray eyes immediately burst into a strange red light - this was proof of her excitement.

"Empress! Empress!" The dying Xiaoxue suddenly crawled up, grabbed the bars of the iron cage, and screamed desperately.

The woman who was brought up was Concubine Gan, who was like a sister to Xiaoxue. When the palace caught fire, Liuguang ordered his men to take advantage of the chaos to capture Concubine Gan in the Nangong Palace. The purpose was to use Concubine Gan to threaten Xiaoxue and force her to surrender.

Concubine Gan inhaled a lot of smoke and dust from the fire, and was listless. Her eyelids drooped until she heard Xiaoxue's voice, then she suddenly opened her eyes: "Xiaoxue?" In the iron cage in front of her, Xiaoxue, who was covered in stains and had a pale face, was no longer in human form. Concubine Gan took a look and tears fell.

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue...how did you become like this..." She wanted to pounce on him, but the strong man grabbed her shoulders and she couldn't move forward.

Liuguang ordered, "Let her go." After all, Concubine Gan was just a weak woman who couldn't even lift a finger and wouldn't pose any threat.

After being freed, Concubine Gan rushed to the iron cage. "Xiaoxue, are you really still alive?" She grabbed the railing with one hand and reached in with the other to touch Xiaoxue. However, what she touched was a hand full of cold sweat and frozen skin like ice. Her tears flowed faster.

Xiaoxue gently held Concubine Gan's hand and rubbed it on her face. "I would rather be dead, so that you won't be caught by these beasts." She took a few breaths and looked at Concubine Gan with tears in her eyes. "My queen, don't cry. It hurts me to see you cry..."

"Have you thought about it? Do you want to help me?" Liuguang squatted outside the iron cage and raised his voice to interrupt the two people's tearful conversation.

"What can I do for you?" Concubine Gan stared at Liuguang in horror.

Without waiting for Liuguang to answer, Xiaoxue said, "He wants me to help him kill someone..."

"No, Xiaoxue, you must not kill anyone!" Concubine Gan was so frightened that she trembled violently, and the hand that was holding Xiaoxue suddenly tightened a little.

"If she doesn't kill anyone, you will be the one who suffers." Liuguang winked at his men who were waiting for orders nearby.

The two strong men immediately stepped forward and lifted Concubine Gan up from the ground.

Liuguang stood up and walked over, pinched Concubine Gan's chin and looked at her for a while, then let go, turned her back and said, "This is the emperor's woman. You don't often have the chance to play with her. You're lucky today." As soon as he finished speaking, the two men's eyes lit up.

Concubine Gan shuddered violently.

Xiaoxue rushed over and grabbed the iron bars, shouting frantically, "What do you want to do?"

Liuguang squatted in front of Xiaoxue and said, "Use your beloved queen to reward my hard-working subordinates."

Before she could finish her words, Concubine Gan was already pushed to the ground. One of them sat on her thighs, while the other pressed her hands to the ground. With a "hiss", her clothes were violently torn in half.

Concubine Gan struggled and cried, "Let me go! Let me go!"

Xiaoxue also started shouting frantically, "Stop! Stop!" Her eyes became redder and redder, and crackling flashes of light like electric current ran through her body.

Liuguang subconsciously took a half step back. The powerful demonic energy emanating from Xiaoxue suddenly made him feel a little afraid.

"As expected of a monster, it's stronger than a Taoist priest." Liuguang narrowed his eyes, but soon he was no longer afraid. Instead, he stared at Xiaoxue, who was about to explode, with interest.

He could have threatened Xuanjizi to help him disrupt the relocation team, but in the end he felt that Xiaoxue must be stronger and more reliable than Xuanjizi, so he chose Xiaoxue over Xuanjizi. Facts have proved that his vision was right. Although Xiaoxue is just a white rabbit spirit, when her anger is aroused, she bursts out with a demonic aura that almost freezes the air.

Concubine Gan's cries and struggles tortured Xiaoxue to death. The seal in the iron cage kept flashing, rebounding the evil spirit emitted by Xiaoxue back to her.

Xiaoxue screamed in pain, and finally she gave in. With tears in her eyes, she said in a weak voice, "I promise you... I promise you..." I only ask you to let Concubine Gan go and not hurt her. She is innocent.

Hearing Xiaoxue's agreement, Liuguang signaled his men to stop the invasion.

"Xiaoxue..." Concubine An, who was pinned to the ground, looked helplessly at the suffering Xiaoxue, two lines of tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.

There was no crying, no roaring, no struggling. The whole world was extremely quiet, as if it was the prelude to death.

When they were almost at the White Tiger Gate, the team suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Long Mohan asked An Youchen.

An Youchen was riding on a horse and could see farther. However, because the team was too long and he was in the center, he only knew that there was chaos in front of him and could vaguely hear the sound of close combat, but he could not see the specific situation. Moreover, no one came to report for a long time, which seemed to be a very dangerous situation.

An Youchen immediately jumped off his horse, drew his sword and stood beside Long Mohan, while ordering the guards around him, "Protect the emperor!"

The imperial guards immediately tightened the encirclement and surrounded Long Mohan's imperial sedan. Behind the sedan was Concubine An's carriage. Concubine An saw that they were in danger, so she immediately jumped off the carriage and came to Long Mohan with her personal maid Ning Shuang, asking with concern: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" After seeing that Long Mohan was not seriously injured, she immediately said to An Youchen: "What happened? Why didn't you leave?"

An Youchen had just ordered a guard to go ahead and investigate the situation. After hearing Concubine An's voice, he said hastily, "I don't know. It's probably because the White Tiger Gate was sealed by the rebels and they won't let us out. Liuguang is in charge of guarding the White Tiger Gate, and it must have been occupied by the Mountain Ghost Clan a long time ago."

"You know that Baihu Gate is dangerous, but don't you choose the safe path?" Concubine An was so anxious that she pinched An Youchen's arm.

An Youchen replied solemnly: "It doesn't matter. That mob is definitely no match for the imperial guards." This time they gathered all the imperial guards in the palace to escort the emperor to move the capital. Even if the White Tiger Gate was occupied by the rebels, they should retreat without fighting when they saw the huge disparity in strength between the two sides. When passing through the White Tiger Gate, they should not encounter any resistance.

After hearing An Youchen's words, Concubine An felt slightly relieved.

But at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened. With a whoosh, a gust of wind blew in. Sand and rocks flew everywhere between heaven and earth, and everything became dark.

"What's going on?" Concubine An was startled and subconsciously hid behind An Youchen.

"Oops." A trace of panic finally appeared on An Youchen's calm face. Even though he didn't know any magic, he had already noticed that this strong wind was not an ordinary wind, but a demonic wind mixed with powerful magic.

He kept yelling at the guards: "Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"

The encirclement continued to shrink, and the innermost layer had already reached the carriage.

The howling wind blew up a thick black fog. The visibility became lower and lower, and finally I could only see the area about ten meters ahead. Beyond that, it was pitch black.

The sound of weapons clashing became louder and closer. A thick smell of blood was brought by the evil wind, and Concubine An suddenly felt nauseous and covered her mouth and retched.

"No, no..." An Youchen's voice became more and more urgent and panicked. He stared at the front with wide eyes. Although the range of vision was very small, he could vaguely distinguish that those who drew swords and killed were not traitors at all, but the imperial guards - the imperial guards were killing each other.

This was Xiaoxue's magic. Her magic made the imperial guards in the Black Wind lose their nature, unable to distinguish between enemies and friends, and only had killing in their hearts.

At this moment, An Youchen's mind became increasingly confused, and he kept hearing a voice in his ears: "Kill - kill -". He subconsciously clenched his sword and let out a manic roar, trying to dispel the voice in his mind.

"What's wrong with you?" Concubine An stared at her cousin who suddenly went crazy in horror, her limbs shaking constantly.

An Youchen slashed the ground with his sword, causing all the small stones on the ground to burst. Then he let out another wild cry of "Ah——" and turned around sharply, staring at Long Mohan on the imperial chariot.

"What do you want to do?" Concubine An immediately discovered that An Youchen's murderous gaze was very abnormal.

"Your Majesty, run away!" An Youchen let out a heart-wrenching roar with the last bit of his sanity. After the roar, he suddenly raised his long sword and stabbed at Long Mohan on the carriage. Concubine An was so scared that her face turned pale. She screamed and subconsciously rushed forward. She wanted to stop An Youchen, but was violently knocked away by him and fell to the ground.

Long Mohan was so frightened that he could not move. Just when he was about to be stabbed, he suddenly heard a "clang" sound, and An Youchen's sword was blocked by a dagger.

"Ningshuang?" Long Mohan stared in disbelief at the maid who suddenly blocked his way.

"Your Majesty, your life is still useful. We cannot let you die now." Ningshuang kicked An Youchen off the carriage and grabbed Long Mohan and jumped out of the carriage.

"Ningshuang, what are you doing? Let the emperor go quickly!" Concubine An struggled to get up from the ground and yelled at Ningshuang.

But Ningshuang ignored her and ran into the black fog holding Long Mohan hostage, and soon disappeared.
