Chapter 70 For Qing Country, a Rightful Heir!

For how many years, how many years had it been since Qing Country finally produced a legitimate heir apparent! Finally, a royal son had inherited the Emperor's bloodline. Even if it meant dying, the You family had to protect the Seventh Prince!

At this moment, the Seventh Prince's importance outweighed even ten You Sisis. Even the entire country's strength should be focused on protecting the Seventh Prince!

Yet, the Seventh Prince was still mired in affairs of the heart!

Although You Xingchen also wanted to rescue You Sisi, nothing was more important than escorting the Seventh Prince back to the palace.

However, no matter how he tried to persuade him, Captain Wu remained unmoved.

"Uncle Xingchen, Jingyan and the others will return to the palace with you first. We'll handle some matters at the Juan Niao Tower and then join you," Fang Yue said at this moment.

Fang Yue's meaning naturally represented Captain Wu's.

Captain Wu didn't know much about the capital and was mainly following Fang Yue's arrangements.

With Captain Wu speaking, the others had no choice but to obey.

"Join you later? The capital is full of dangers. Do you know how dangerous it is to run around with the Seventh Prince!"

You Xingchen clenched his fists, but Fang Yue's mind was made up, and there was nothing You Xingchen could do.

In the end, Fang Yue had Jingyan, Qingchen, and the injured Lord Han follow You Xingchen's main force back to the palace.

Fang Yue, Niu Zuo, Ming, and Captain Wu headed in another direction.

"Captain Xingchen doesn't need to worry too much. Little Yue's strength is quite strong. He can protect the Seventh Prince's safety. And once my injuries improve, I'll go and support them too."

Faced with Lord Han's comfort, You Xingchen could only manage a weak smile.

Looking ahead, the once bustling streets were now devoid of people.

The common people had either hidden away or had already become corpses on the ground.

Beneath the dim black clouds, coupled with the night, the entire street appeared desolate.

A corpse with only half a body hung from a cart, seemingly because it hadn't escaped in time, and even its intestines had been torn out and eaten by the eerie creatures.

Looking further down the street, it was littered with incomplete corpses, indicating that it had been swept through by the eerie.

Although it was somewhat insensitive, it had to be said that a street swept by the eerie was actually safer.

You Xingchen led the team forward quickly, when suddenly, as if sensing something, he stopped abruptly and looked up.

Drip.

Drip!

Drip!!

Cold liquid splattered on his face.

-1!

-1!

-1!

His qi and blood were rapidly decreasing as the raindrops fell.

"Night... night rain! It's night rain!"

"It's night rain! Everyone, run! Find shelter!"

"It's over! With such a massive black cloud, the scale of the night rain will definitely be beyond imagination!"

"Captain Xingchen, what should we do now? Are we still going to the palace?"

You Xingchen looked at the panicked crowd behind him, his expression darkening.

"Go! No matter where we seek shelter outside, we will eventually face the eerie! But if we enter the palace, we will no longer have this worry!"

There was another sentence that You Xingchen didn't say: If they didn't take advantage of the light night rain to reach the palace quickly, then when the night rain intensified, from light rain to moderate rain, and even heavy rain, everyone would be completely trapped!

"Accelerate! Accelerate and rush to the palace!"

Rumble!!

Amidst You Xingchen's shout, the black clouds above the capital suddenly roared with thunder!

Within the thunder, the illusory spiritual tree appeared once again, but You Xingchen's gaze suddenly turned to the tall building in front.

It was the Xi Ting Tower, and at the top of the tower stood a humanoid eerie creature clad in black bone armor, holding a bloody human head.

With just one glance, You Xingchen's pupils shrank sharply, and he recognized it instantly!

That head was none other than Feng Mengya's, the head of the River Saber Sect, renowned as one of the dual Sword-Saber Sects alongside the Heavenly Sword Sect!

If he remembered correctly, the River Saber Sect Master Feng Mengya's strength was... Rain-level!

He held his breath.

He raised his fist, signaling everyone to stop moving.

You Xingchen gulped, staring nervously at the eerie creature in the distance.

The eerie creature simply stood quietly on the roof, and the black meteors that fell around it seemed to be meeting an emperor, and were drawn to its vicinity, kneeling down in unison!

Rumble!!

In the thunder and night rain, the eerie creature simply raised its head, gazing at the sky, letting the rain slide down its streamlined black bone armor.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the eerie creature slowly turned its head, its gaze... looking towards You Xingchen's direction!

His pupils constricted, and You Xingchen nearly jumped up like a startled cat.

That feeling of being stared at by an ancient eerie beast made him feel as if he had already walked through the gates of hell!

"Rain... Rain-level! Definitely a Rain-level eerie creature! There's even a Rain-level eerie creature in that black cloud!"

You Xingchen's heart pounded in fear, his whole body stiff, but fortunately, the black bone eerie creature seemed to sense something else and suddenly looked in another direction.

At this moment, the thunder had ended, and the entire capital had dimmed again.

As the darkness descended, You Xingchen discovered that the black bone eerie creature had disappeared.

Disappearing with it were the Uyu (Black Rain) Clan eerie creatures that had been kneeling around it.

"It's gone..."

You Xingchen subconsciously scanned the distance quickly, and soon discovered a group of black dots rapidly leaving in one direction.

The Rain-level black bone armored eerie creature could no longer be seen, but the shadows of the insect-shaped Uyu Clan eerie creatures that followed it could barely be seen.

"That direction, if I remember correctly, is... the direction of the Juan Niao Tower! Seventh Prince, please don't let anything happen to you..."

You Xingchen clenched his fists, but he understood that even if he brought support now, he would still not be a match for that eerie creature!

Rain-level eerie creatures could only be fought by Rain-level experts!

The palace! They must quickly enter the palace and request support!

Who knew how many eerie creatures as terrifying as the one just now existed in the black clouds. Only by bringing the Seventh Prince back to the palace as soon as possible could they truly be at peace and truly relax!

As You Xingchen was thinking about this, Lord Han spoke slowly.

"Such a strong sense of oppression... That eerie creature is probably a member of the Uyu Clan's royal family!"

"Royal family? Then its strength must be extraordinary. This capital is becoming more and more dangerous..." Grandmaster Qiankun smiled wryly. As a physician, he had little ability to change the apocalyptic situation in the capital.

However, he wasn't too worried, because he understood that Rain-level experts were not absent in the capital! It was just that experts of that level rarely took action.

"Rain-level eerie creature?!"

"First night rain, then a Rain-level eerie creature, what exactly is happening in the capital..."
