Cough cough cough~~~
"No wonder, no wonder you are so powerful at such a young age!"
"It seems that we have come to the right place this time, and God bless our Tianhun Empire."
"No need to look. My heart meridians are broken and even gods cannot save me. Now I am just relying on the last bit of my soul power to keep myself alive."
"These things are my reward for asking you to do this. Please take them and bring the young lady back to Shrek Academy!"
The middle-aged man vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and his whole breath instantly weakened.
He used up his last bit of strength to take off the ring on his hand and put it in Tang Lan's hand.
After saying the last word, he slowly closed his eyes.
A smile of relief slowly emerged on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had foreseen his own ending since the moment he left the imperial city.
This time he was able to successfully send the young lady he mentioned to the strong man of Shrek Academy, so he could be considered to have completed his mission, and from then on he no longer had any worries.
It was quiet. There was no other sound except the occasional night wind.
Tang Lan and others stood where they were, quietly watching this loyal protector leave this world filled with smoke of gunpowder.
"Uncle Hong, woo woo woo~~"
The woman hugged the middle-aged man and sobbed softly.
But the middle-aged man no longer has any vitality.
"The dead are the greatest. Since he is gone, let him rest in peace!"
"In your current condition, you can't take him with you."
Tang Lan glanced at the woman in the black robe, then slowly turned around after speaking.
He glanced around, then stretched out his arm and gently grabbed the boulder not far away.
Suddenly, a huge dragon claw appeared in the void, lifting up the boulder and the soil underneath.
Soon, a deep pit several feet deep appeared on the ground.
Tang Lan used his own soul power to lift the middle-aged man into the air and gently placed him at the bottom of the deep pit.
After the soil was restored, the huge stone was slowly placed on top.
The tip of Hou Ba Wang's spear swung and wrote a few large and flamboyant characters on the boulder: Tomb of the Loyal!
This person's loyalty to the Tianhun Empire is above his own life.
It is admirable that he has been able to persist until now just to buy more time for this woman.
Tang Lan could see that this guy was fighting to the end only with his strong willpower.
Even though his heart meridians were severed, he was still fighting with all his might. He had already broken through the limits of human beings. "Uncle Hong, if I can survive, I will make all those enemies pay the price in the future!"
The woman in black cried for a long time, and finally stood up slowly at a certain moment.
There were still traces of tears on her face, but there was a firmness in her eyes.
It was the burning flame of revenge, anger and hatred that gradually made her change her cowardly character.
Although the light around was still dim, Tang Lan could vaguely see the woman's face and features.
This woman was surprisingly beautiful. Although her otherworldly temperament was different from Tang Wutong's, she was equally attractive. It was a kind of holiness that was aloof and kept people at a distance.
Her temperament and personality, which are almost completely opposite to Tang Wutong's, make her just as attractive as Tang Wutong.
But Tang Lan only looked at it once and then looked away.
The smell of blood was heavy around him. This Soul Saint fought desperately and killed many Soul Emperors and a Soul Saint.
"Let's go, this is not a place to stay for long!"
Seeing that Tang Ya and others were looking at him, Dang Lan immediately decided to lead everyone to change direction overnight and head east.
In this way, even if there are experts chasing after the men in black, they will be able to avoid them.
And they will only continue to chase in the direction of Shrek Academy and will not turn back.
"You guys, aren't you going back to Shrek Academy? That direction seems to be the opposite direction!"
Watching everyone leave together, the woman in black robe stood there with some confusion and hesitation.
At this moment, she gradually became wary of Tang Lan and others. She had seen too many people betray and die along the way.
It seemed that even the protectors and relatives around her wanted to kill her.
"Don't worry, we didn't lie to you. However, we are not heading to Shrek Academy now. We just came out of Shrek Academy and are heading to Luling County."
"I suggest that you come with us. This way you can distract the other party."
"We will return to Shrek Academy within two months, how about that?"
"This is the medal of our Shrek Academy inner courtyard students. You can trust us!"
Tang Lan looked at the black-robed woman in front of him, then took out the medal from his pocket.
"My name is Weiner, a princess of the old royal family of the Tianhun Empire. This time, I was hunted here by the new royal family headed by the queen."
"It's not just me. Most of the old royal family members in the imperial city were captured or killed by them."
"I am willing to follow you if you want to take me with you."
Weiner looked at Tang Lan with a firm gaze. She could see that Tang Lan was the leader of these people.
He is also the strongest among all, because the scene of Tang Lan killing those Soul Emperors and Soul Saints as easily as chopping melons and vegetables still echoes in her mind.
This boy who looks much younger than her actually has such strength.
No wonder her elders thought of letting her escape to Shrek Academy at the most critical moment.
"This place is quite far away from the place where the battle took place before. I don't think they will be able to find it."
"Everyone, set up the tent and rest!"
Tang Lan released a powerful spiritual sense that swept the area within a radius of twenty miles. After finding that there was nothing wrong, he asked everyone to stop.
That night, everyone took turns on duty in pairs to prevent anyone from approaching quietly.
Even so, Tang Lan's vigilance has not dissipated, and his perception has remained at full capacity. (End of this chapter)
Chapter 925: The Imperial Family’s Different Powers, the Confusion of the God’s Residence
This night was exceptionally quiet, with only the sound of pipa coming from the campfire, but no men in black came.
Obviously, Tang Lan guessed right.
As soon as the day began to dawn, everyone had already gathered and was ready to set off.
Although the rest time last night was not long, it was enough for the physical condition of the soul masters.
The mental recovery effect brought about by a soul master's meditation and dreaming is much faster than that brought about by sleep.
Weiner got into Tang Lan's carriage, and the original three women and one man became four women and one man.
Even Tang Lan couldn't help but admire Weiner when he took off the black robe.
Her long silver hair was casually draped behind her head, and it was still eye-catching even without any combing.
The white robe she was wearing could not hide her graceful figure at all, which was tall and sexy.
This is exactly the image of the perfect woman in every man's mind.
Her tall stature is even half a head taller than many men, making her long legs particularly eye-catching.
But Tang Lan just took a glance and turned to look out the window to divert his attention.
Otherwise, he would probably end up embarrassing himself in front of all the girls.
"You said before that two factions had emerged within the royal family, and the new faction was headed by Empress Yan."
"For so many years, Queen Yan's power remained dormant. Until Queen Yan gave birth to a son for the king and won the king's admiration, everything changed."
"She first secretly framed the powerful officials who opposed her proposal and exposed them in public. Then she used her own means to win the king's heart and make him obey the queen in all court affairs."
"So, doesn't this mean that she wants to change the entire Tianhun Empire and purge the original forces in the court!"
After listening to Weiner's story, Tang Ya covered her lips lightly and said in shock.
Anyone could tell that Queen Yan had big plans.
He himself was not a member of the royal family, and this time even three generations of old ministers in the court were executed by his scheme.
If all other factions were eliminated, the strength of the entire Tianhun Empire would be weakened by half or even more.
Little did he know that the old king had been bewitched by it and had lost his mind. He no longer cared about anything else and stayed in the harem all day long accepting the so-called blessing from God.
In particular, Weiner said that the so-called blessing of God mentioned by Queen Yan could purify the hidden injuries and curses suffered by the old king in his early years.
When there was even a chance to become a god, everyone present fell silent.
Tang Lan thought for a moment, then said, "If my guess is correct, then Queen Yan should be in control of the inheritance test of a god, and she used this method to make your uncle look like this."
"Becoming a god is a great temptation for every Title Douluo, even the ruler of a country is no exception."
After getting this answer, Tang Lan felt that the king's reaction was reasonable.
In the past, there were also Extreme Douluos who mistakenly entered it, but ultimately failed to comprehend the test, and instead became possessed and their temperament changed drastically, leading to a tragic death.
This king seems to be such a person, and I am afraid that he will soon follow in this person's footsteps.
"Well, my people have already sacrificed a lot to escort me out."
"That woman is not doing this for our royal family, but for herself. She wants to destroy the entire royal family and the Tianhun Empire."
Having said that, Weiner's eyes dimmed a little.
Because facing all this, she was completely powerless to fight against it alone, and she didn't even have the strength to resist.
"Alas, although we understand your feelings at this moment, the Tianhun Empire is so powerful that we are afraid we can't help you."
"But don't worry, as long as you, Tang Lan, follow us, those who come to assassinate you won't be able to hurt you." Ma Xiaotao stretched out her hand and placed it on Weiner's hand, comforting him softly.
Shrek Academy never investigates the internal conflicts of other empires without authorization, and this has been made known to the world many years ago.
In order to avoid being involved in a fearless fight.
Even if they wanted to help at this moment, they could not shake Norda's Tianhun Empire with their individual strength.
Because the current Queen Yan has already grasped the power of the entire Tianhun Empire.
However, the king secluded himself and devoted himself to the so-called way to immortality.
In Tang Lan's opinion, that guy was just a Titled Douluo at level 94. Even an Extreme Douluo couldn't pass the test, let alone him.
In this way, everyone set out on the journey to Luling County with different feelings.
During this period, everyone stopped in several cities to prepare supplies, and they also heard that there was unrest among the upper echelons of the Tianhun Empire.
However, the noise was not too loud and soon died down. The king retired behind the scenes due to his illness, and the court affairs were handled by Queen Yan.
Everything seemed calm, but only Tang Lan and others who were sitting in the corner of the inn were shocked.
It seemed that in the next few days, the other party had successfully seized the power of the entire court and eliminated all opponents.
This meant that the old royal family was completely eradicated, either being killed or imprisoned in prison.
But no news about Princess Weiner and the imperial seal was released.
I think it was Queen Yan who forced the news to be suppressed.
However, during this period of time, the number of city defense troops in each city has obviously increased, and the inspection of people passing by has become much more stringent.
However, Tang Lan and others did not take this too seriously.
No one knows the real purpose of the above. Many people are just executors. As long as they give the other party a little benefit, they can let everyone pass easily.
However, to be on the safe side, Tang Lan asked Weiner to put on black clothes again to cover his face.
"We will be able to reach Luling County this evening!"
"And in Luling County, one of my uncles is opening an inn. We can go and seek refuge with him!"
Tang Ya looked at the map and smiled as she preached to everyone at the table.
Tang Lan has roughly known everything during this period of time.
