Chapter 50 The Snowstorm Will Be Stained with Blood
"Even if you were exiled, you shouldn't have left so hastily. The decree was issued in the morning, and the whole family left the imperial city in the evening?"

Su Chen came back from outside.

The commander of the three guards seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, along with his family.

He felt something was wrong.

He walked around the palace again, trying to look for the five red robes, but he couldn't find any of them, even though he had heard that they had appeared in broad daylight.

pharmacy.

Su Chen glanced at the door that was not closed tightly and felt confused.

He closed it tightly when he left.

Maybe someone came to get the medicine himself.

"You're really picky about food."

"See how long you can stay hungry."

After looking at the pottery jar and seeing that the meat and milk were still there, Su Chen closed the lid again.

Nothing to do.

He leaned against the stove, in the recliner, and fell into a deep sleep.

Wake up.

Cleansing the five internal organs was still the same as before, progress was slow, and even the first "heart" was not cleansed halfway.

Recently, for some reason, a lot of familiar faces have disappeared, and a new batch of eunuchs have arrived in the palace.

Perhaps because of Xu Han, no one was forced into the pharmacy this time.

"That's not bad."

"I don't know, Xiaoxuanzi, how are you now?"

In the pharmacy, Su Chen leaned against the door, waiting for customers to come as usual.

"Hey."

"Master Xu, it's sunbathing again."

Xiao Yangzi, the eunuch who worked in the imperial kitchen, was pulling a cart of vegetables past the pharmacy and greeted Su Chen.

However, the route from the palace gate to the imperial kitchen does not pass through the pharmacy.

"Three of the nine counties of Daliang were lost, and the remaining six counties were also in turmoil. Natural disasters and demons continued. The whole world was frozen and the people were displaced. He didn't care at all. Instead, he ate vegetables in this cold winter."

Su Chen was amazed.

This little emperor allowed the Western Factory to become more powerful, and he was arrogant and domineering, bullying all the officials. Externally, he turned a blind eye to the crumbling state of Daliang, as if he was hoping for the destruction of Daliang.

Just as Su Chen was sighing.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Yangzi came over with a lunch box.

Open it and take a look.

In addition to the freshly roasted chicken and a few exquisite vegetarian dishes, there was also a heavy purse filled with silver and copper coins.

"There's no rush to pay back the money."

"You have finally been transferred from a eunuch who collected horse manure to a lucrative job in the imperial kitchen. You should show more respect to the steward so that you can do your job better..."

Su Chen took the food box and handed the purse back.

"Master Xu, I am leaving the palace. His Majesty is merciful and has allowed a group of eunuchs to leave the palace early, and also gave them some money to settle down."

"Xiao Fengzi and the others are gone."

"It's boring to be alone. I might as well go home and use the money to adopt a child so that I can have an heir..."

Xiao Yangzi is gone.

the next day.

He also disappeared, just like Xiao Fengzi and the others that Su Chen was familiar with, disappearing without a trace.

Ask the palace steward.

Just say.

Already left the palace.

However, on this day, Su Chen stood outside the palace gate, holding a pottery jar containing one hundred taels of silver that he had saved. After standing for a long time, no eunuchs were seen leaving the palace with their bags...

Its daybreak.

Bright and dark.

After two days and one night, Su Chen's hand holding the pottery jar dropped. The one hundred taels of silver that he was going to share with Xiao Fengzi and the others were still not given away.

"The palace... is it eating people again?"

Su Chen solidified this palace gate, a ten-foot-long giant gate, and withstood countless attacks from masters outside the palace. But in his eyes, it was like a huge mouth that swallowed up these poor people, with only entry and no exit...

Without the seed of immortality, he would be afraid that he would be one of the unfortunate people who disappeared inexplicably.

“Maybe they really went home.”

Such a huge palace, if not defended, would be loose and the military discipline would be unclear.

The newly appointed commander of the three guards never took care of anything. He was just a figurehead and followed the little emperor around every day. No one knew what he was plotting.

soon.

Walking in the deep palace, Su Chen came to a remote place. It was even more deserted than the library. No one was willing to come here, and it was unknown to most people. Even many blue-robed men didn't know about it.

If Su Chen had not experienced Tianwu, Tianluan, and the two Jianwu terms, he might not have known about this place.

This place is a garbage dump.

It is also called the mass grave in the palace.

This piece of land was barren, dark and sticky, with shallowly buried corpses, their remains exposed, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Hundreds?

Thousands?

There are tens of thousands.

And this was a new corpse that had just been thrown in and had not yet rotted in the cold winter. The stench of blood, mixed with the smell of a rotten corpse, was a pungent smell that went straight to the top of my head.

I can vaguely see it.

The remains were perfunctorily buried, and their faces, which had been eaten beyond recognition, still showed traces of fear and despair.

The wounds on their bodies all looked like they had been eaten by huge beasts, and many of their bodies were twisted and deformed. Only a demon, and an extremely powerful one, could do this.

"No."

"Great."

"They must have all gone home."

Su Chen gave a forced smile.

He was silent.

He couldn't deceive himself.

Su Chen didn't recognize most of the corpses here.

They are refugees.

He was wearing coarse linen clothes, his hair was unkempt, his nails were dry and cracked, and his palms were covered with calluses and dirt that could not be washed off...

They were refugees who fled to the imperial city, hoping to survive, but they never imagined that they did not die in the natural disaster, but died in the way they believed in...

"It's not just the palace that's eating people, this imperial city is eating people too."

Su Chen walked deeper and deeper, and the silence became louder and louder as he walked. He saw many familiar people.

The palace maid Chunyan liked to pester him and asked him to bring back a string of candied haws when he went out of the palace to buy things.

Little Plum.

Little tiger.

These two were honest kids. Because they owed a debt, after finishing their chores, they came to the pharmacy and wanted to work as interest, but they were driven away by him.

……

……Too much.

Su Chen couldn't remember some of it.

"So... no one... has returned home..."

Su Chen became more and more silent.

He hadn't expected this to happen.

This little emperor, who was even more evil than a demon, was actually rescued by him in the library with his own hands.

finally.

Su Chen stopped in front of the disemboweled body of a young eunuch. His round, chubby face was filled with anger, unwillingness, and deep despair.

"Little Fengzi..."

Su Chen stretched out his hand, trying to close those eyes that were glaring at the sky with anger, unwillingness and despair, but time and time again, he couldn't close them.

The body was frozen.

perhaps.

He would not close his eyes even when he died.

"why."

Su Chen was a little dazed.

"Are you Mr. Xu? Save me, I am almost dying of illness..." That night, the frail young eunuch, with a high fever, collapsed at the door of the pharmacy.

"Mr. Xu, please save me again, I'm dying..." Another night passed, and he collapsed in the pharmacy again, dragging his bruised and battered body.

Time and time again, after saving someone, he refused to pay and just smiled and hugged Su Chen's thigh.

"Give!"

"I'll definitely give it to you next time!"

"Hehe, I knew that Master Xu is kind-hearted and would not let Xiao Fengzi die of illness."

Xiao Fengzi owes the pharmacy a lot of money.

I won't give it even if I have money.

Many eunuchs stabbed him in the back and called him a good-for-nothing, but Su Chen knew that he had a younger sister who lived in the imperial city, and he had asked someone to bring all his money to his sister.

In order to support his sister, he owed debts, borrowed money, did dirty things, and did not manage the affairs. He was often beaten half to death by the manager.

I can't close these eyes.

Silent.

Su Chen sat beside him and talked about family matters as he did in the past.

"Come to think of it, the last time I saw you, you had become a practicing eunuch. You came to me and took away a lot of good medicine from me, saying that you would pay me back double when you took off..."

"When I didn't see you, I thought you ran away because you owed money. At that time, I was surprised why you didn't come to say goodbye to me. Although you are stingy, you are righteous..."

"You have become a practicing eunuch. Your good days are coming to an end. You escaped the life-stealing magic storm two years ago, but you couldn't escape this real demon riot."

"died."

"It would be better to die."

"You're having a hard time in this palace..."

Su Chen paused, remained silent, stared into those angry eyes, and continued the story.

"Perhaps, you don't know that as early as when you entered the palace, your sister was driven out of the house by your adoptive parents and froze to death on that snowy night..."

"Over the years, they have been using the money you sent them with a clear conscience. I wanted Xu Han to arrange an errand for you outside the palace, so that you could do it yourself..."

"Ugh!"

Su Chen continued walking.

Su Chen even found out the three guard commanders, whose only remains were their bones, and their families, but he did not see the five red robes.

"If I had known this earlier, I would not have helped you two brothers and sisters to detoxify in the library, and there wouldn't be all this happening now..."

"Little Emperor, I still owe you a sword. This sword should have fallen on your head two years ago!"

Staring at the imperial palace, Su Chen waited silently, but Xiao Yangzi's body had not appeared yet.

The tree beard surges.

He returned to his original appearance, with white jade skin, starry eyes, black hair, standing with his hands behind his back, dressed in dark color, like an immortal from heaven, or an evil demon sent to the world.

Murderous intent surged in him, and his eyes became increasingly cold.

He waited and waited!

Wait until the sky becomes bright and dark.

Wait until night falls.

Sporadic snowflakes fell from the sky, getting bigger and bigger. The white snow stained the dirty black blood on the burial ground.

"Perhaps, only if I cut off the seven emotions and wash away the six desires can I become a carefree immortal?"

"But I am a human being."

The wind howled and whistled violently, and the countless lives that had died unjustly here seemed to be telling their stories of injustice.

However, no matter how thick and powerful the wind and snow are, they cannot blow away all the injustice and darkness in this world.

"I want to kill someone."

A snowflake fell on Su Chen's hand. It was unknown where it had stained, but it was the color of blood.

The demon is coming.

far away.

A carriage, full of the smell of blood, came galloping all the way in the night. The second-rank red-robed man driving the carriage was trembling with fear.

In the carriage, there was the rustling sound of people eating.

"starving."

"It's meaningless to eat these leftovers every day. When will I be able to eat the flesh and blood of a second-grade or even first-grade cultivator?"

The demons are yelling and cursing.

boom!
The carriage stopped suddenly.

"There's someone! There's someone at the mass grave!"

The man in red robe screamed in fear.

boom!
The carriage fell apart.

Two ten-foot-tall inhuman black shadows jumped out, laughing ferociously. The bright snowy night reflected their ugly faces, which were still wearing golden armor representing the emperor's personal guards.

"Hahaha!"

"Look at you, you are such a coward. You are a second-level cultivator, why are you so afraid of an ordinary person? If there is someone, just eat him!"

"Hehehe, it just so happens that I haven't eaten enough yet!"

Two demons burst their golden armors and laughed wildly. One of them was a golden lion with blood-red hair and red eyes, and the other one had skin as green as iron and looked like a ferocious bull.

They stood up and two second-grade demons pounced towards Su Chen.

"He is... He is..."

thump!
When the second-rank red-robed man with gray hair saw clearly the dark figure under the moonlight in the snowy night, his eyes went dark and he felt dizzy. He fell to his knees and almost fainted from fright.

"The man in black clothes under the moon... Little Grandmaster Fengxue..."

"Mr. Su?!"

"Why is Mr. Su here? Why is Mr. Su here?!"

He roared at the top of his lungs, his face was ashen, his body was shaking, and he was as soft as mud.

He knows.

Tonight, the little emperor didn’t know whether he would live or die, but he was finished.
