‘What … what’s the situation? Why can’t I move …’

Chen Guangda heavily shoveled his head onto the ground. Even his chin was bleeding. He never expected that after the intense dizziness passed, his entire body would become numb. He couldn’t even move a single finger. His hair was immediately pulled up by Fifth Brother. He raised his hunting knife and shouted, “Rascal thief, die!”

“It’s … it’s me …”

Chen Guangda desperately opened his mouth and roared. His eyes couldn’t stop looking at Zhou Shengwu and the others, but whether it was Zhou Shengwu or Su Tong, their expressions were incomparably numb. However, Old Wu suddenly jumped up and shouted, “Wait! How can blood be seen on the golden hall? Take this assassin off outside the meridian gate and behead him in public!”

“Let’s go!”

Fifth Brother and Chen Quan rushed forward together. He directly dragged Chen Guangda out of the hall. Chen Guangda was extremely shocked. These people had become too evil. They were completely possessed by vengeful souls. Even someone as calm as Fifth Brother was struck. No matter what they were hiding in the dark, it was too terrifying.

‘What …’

Chen Guangda suddenly shook fiercely. He looked at a dark snake-like object, Suddenly, he drilled into the floor from where he was just now. Only then did he notice that many parts of the floor in the hall were broken and arched, as if something had forcefully drilled out from below. Moreover, when he looked at the dragon chair, his entire body was filled with shock and coldness.

Two strange black snakes slowly stretched out from the back of the dragon chair. She bit down on Zhou Shengwu and Su Tong’s necks, The two of them trembled fiercely. They all revealed extremely painful expressions, but they did not resist at all. However, there were more than one black snake. All the ministers who knelt on the ground were bitten by the black snake on their ankles or thighs. It was obvious that the black snake’s constantly moving body was sucking their blood.

‘”Shit …”

Chen Guangda suddenly had an extremely terrifying thought. It was very likely that all the people in Bauhinia City had fallen prey to evil and had become puppets like Zhou Shengwu and the others. However, he soon discovered that he was not dragged to the meridian gate, but instead headed towards Kunning Palace behind him. Fifth Brother and Chen Quan were as cold as strangers.

“Fifth Brother! Boy Quan! Wake up! Everyone is going to die …”

Chen Guangda roared like a madman. His stiff tongue was the same as when he first opened his tongue, but Fifth Brother and Chen Quan did not react in the slightest. Chen Quan even slapped him in the mouth to shut him up, but Chen Guangda still did not give up his pig-like shout. His only hope now was Wang Dafu and the others. Once Wang Dafu heard the shout, he would definitely rush over to save him.

“Hurry up, you two. The Empress Dowager has just gotten up and is already hungry …”

A mother’s voice suddenly sounded from the front, but it suddenly made Chen Guangda dumbfounded as if he had been struck by lightning. He only saw Little Sissy walking over with his orchid finger in his hand, followed by Wang Dafu and Xia Fei. The few people left in Jianfu Palace actually came, and all of them were devilish without exception.

“Fatty! Xia Fei! Help me …”

Chen Guangda shouted anxiously, Although he did not know where he would be taken, there was definitely nothing good about it. Xia Fei and the others really ignored him without any suspense. Xia Fei even took out a pair of underpants from her bag and gagged his mouth. She said impatiently, “The assassin right now is too lawless. He actually dared to assassinate the Emperor. He must let him taste the might of the Empress Dowager!”

“Uh-huh …”

Chen Guangda shed tears anxiously. They hadn’t even seen the enemy’s appearance yet, but they were actually directly annihilated. At this moment, only the little baby seemed to be still awake and helplessly stretched out her little hand to babble at him. However, Ding Lan had already become like a stepmother. She was very impatient and threatened her son. She had great plans to throw him to death if she didn’t listen.

“The Empress Dowager is lucky! This servant greets the Empress Dowager …”

Chen Guangda finally stopped when he was dragged to a courtyard door. Fifth Brother and Chen Quan knelt respectfully on the ground and kowtowed. Chen Guangda hurriedly raised his eyes and looked up. The plaque on the courtyard door read “Zeng Rui Men”. He immediately understood that this was Xi Nuan Pavilion next to Kun Ning Palace. They had just passed by.

“Squeak ~”

The two old wooden doors suddenly opened automatically. However, nothing could be seen clearly in the dark courtyard. There was not even the slightest bit of candlelight. One could barely see a huge old locust tree fluttering in the wind. However, Fifth Brother and Chen Quan directly crawled backwards. They did not even dare to face the door. Clearly, they were extremely respectful.

“…”

Chen Guangda’s eyes suddenly popped out. Dozens of black and thick snakes suddenly broke through the ground and stretched out from the black door. However, it was only at this moment that Chen Guangda noticed that these were not strange snakes at all. Instead, they were thick roots that were intertwined. However, the ends of the roots were all opened, and each one was as terrifying as a snake’s mouth.

‘F*ck! The old locust tree has become a spirit …’

Chen Guangda instantly widened his eyes and said, This old locust tree was simply like the grandmother in the “Ghost of the Beautiful Woman”. Hundreds of tree roots rushed towards him like a swarm of snakes. Their speed was so fast that they could compare to a normal snake. He immediately reacted. He must have been ambushed by this tree root just now, so he suddenly fell to the ground paralyzed.

“Help! There’s a ghost …”

Chen Guang shouted at the top of his lungs, His entire body was numb like a block of wood. However, just as countless tree roots were about to bite him, several blazing torches were suddenly thrown over. All of the tree roots immediately shrank back as if they had been electrocuted. Chen Guangda was also suddenly grabbed by someone’s hair, directly pulling him up and sprinting backwards desperately.

“Hurry up and catch the assassin …”

Fifth Brother and the others immediately shouted from behind, Soon, a lot of lightning bolts appeared in the surroundings. Everywhere, people were shouting for them to be arrested. Chen Guangda was already lifted up by the two of them and ran away. When he looked around with difficulty, the two people who were holding him were actually covered in masks. One of them was pitch-black, and only his big eyes were snow-white.

However, the two of them were clearly familiar with their surroundings, After running for a while, they quickly entered a small alley. However, Fifth Brother and Chen Quan suddenly chased after them. One of them was carrying a large rusty saber and was relentlessly chasing after them. However, something strange suddenly happened. The two of them suddenly stopped after a few steps. They were so fierce that they didn’t even come up with the saber, as if they were afraid of something.

“Come on! Why aren’t you here? Come here if you have the guts …”

The two masked warriors shouted proudly. Obviously, they had something to rely on. The people chasing after them also gathered at the entrance of the alley, but none of them dared to chase after them. However, even if Xia Fei was reduced to a puppet, her status was not low. After glaring at Chen Guangda angrily, she waved her hand and slowly disappeared from the alley.

“Sigh, there’s another gang of thugs. How are we going to live in the future …”

A short masked man shook his head helplessly. He turned around and carried Chen Guangda into a very dilapidated courtyard. Who would have thought that a young man and a young lady would come out of the courtyard, carrying two old-fashioned kerosene lamps. As soon as the two of them came out, they looked at Chen Guangda in surprise and said, “This person is so strange. He was actually not deceived by Grandma. This is truly the first time we’ve seen him!”

“Indeed, it’s very strange. What exactly is your background …”

The two masked men then pulled down their masks. Chen Guangda was surprised to discover that the pitch black guy was actually a young nigger, but his thin body did not have the muscles that niggers usually had. The other person should be around his age, but he had a thick beard and two big eyes the size of a copper bell.

“We are a rescue team sent by the Northeast. The helicopter was shot down by the people here yesterday. You should have seen it, right?”

Chen Guangda tried his best to lift his head up from the ground. The young man holding the kerosene lamp was very considerate. He hurriedly helped him sit up. The numbness on his body was also slowly fading away. After taking a few deep breaths, he continued to ask, “What is this place? Why don’t those people dare to chase after him?”

“This is the courtesy room of Beiwu, the place where the eunuch used to work …”

The bearded man said as he squatted down. “This is already out of Grandma’s control. Those people will lose control if they enter this place. Grandma is that old locust tree spirit!”

“What does it rely on to control those people? It can’t be spiritual force, right?”

Chen Guangda looked at him suspiciously. However, Big Beard shook his head and said, “Didn’t you smell a strange scent of flowers when you came in, “That fragrance is emitted by Grandma. It can confuse people’s minds and allow her to do whatever she wants. Normally, she will be confused after two or three minutes of inhalation. Even if she covers her face, it won’t do much good. That thing can still penetrate through her skin. At most, five or six minutes is the limit!”

“So the female ghosts we saw earlier are all hallucinations …”

Chen Guangda frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, Big Beard laughed and said, “There are two kinds of ghosts in Bauhinia City. One is a true ghost that only appears when it rains and thunder. The other is someone who pretends to be a ghost. The female ghost that is flying in midair is someone who pretends to be a ghost just to attract you to Grandma!”

“How did they do it …”

Chen Guangda was immediately shocked. The bearded man smiled and said, “It’s the same old routine. They hang a dead man’s head with a fishing rod. The lower half of their body is stuffed with straw. You can’t see the fishing rod in the dark. Originally, this trick was used to scare the disobedient survivors so that they wouldn’t dare to resist or run around, but we’ve already seen through it.”

“Those grandsons are unlucky today. I just saw a few of them fascinated by grandma …”

Black Ghost suddenly grinned. He actually had a standard imperial accent, and Big Beard said gloatingly, “You saw that fake female ghost outside the hall, right? They sent a wave of people to scare you guys before, but in the end, they put themselves in it. They didn’t know that Grandma’s territory had expanded!”

“Oh? Aren’t you guys working together …”

Chen Guangda kept looking at them, but Big Beard sneered, “Of course not. We can’t pee in the same pot as those bastards. They ride on everyone’s heads all day long and even sealed themselves the emperor and a bunch of princes. If it weren’t for their numbers, we would have killed them long ago!”

“Help me destroy Grandma, how about I help you destroy those people …”

Chen Guangda looked at him very seriously. He didn’t dare to waste any time now. Xia Fei and the others could be sucked dry by the locust tree spirit at any time. Who knew that Big Beard and the others would be stunned at the same time. They looked at each other for a while before shaking their heads.
