The Empress's Revenge
#194
At the foot of the mountain in the Underworld Continent, a black crack appeared bit by bit. A strange pattern was also seen from outside the crack before then a rumbling sound rang out strongly. As the gap grew larger some creatures with terrible looks appeared, they flocked outside with a foul odor that was so pungent.
Several creatures walked in different directions leaving behind a terrifying black trail on the ground, the streets they had gone through were instantly shattered apart as if a great calamity had just occurred. The devil, they call it, they immediately search the nearest village checking all the houses to find humans who can be used as food.
The news of the crack reaching the Upper Continent including the Yuhuan Empire, fear was evident on the faces of the refugees especially since the crack appeared the ground continued to tremble violently. The Upper Continent sent some people with strong powers to watch the movements of the demons then made preparations for war.
It was not that they did not care about the people of the Lower Continent just that if they housed everyone then the Upper Continent would not be able to last long. Liu Zixia opened the letter immediately, she looked at the contents of the letter and rose from her sleep.
Liu Zixia circled around a few times there until He Yidu finished bathing and came to meet her.
"Is she really your mother? If so, let's go get him! Even though it's safe outside the gate, we don't know when the accident will happen." He Yidu grabbed Liu Zixia's hand tightly grasping it, he did not know how important it was for Liu Zixia's mother but they had to still return the favor for her mother's kindness to give birth to Liu Zixia.
"Do you have a place where they can live? I know you're uncomfortable with a woman, after all I haven't seen her in a long time. I wasn't raised by him either so it doesn't matter if we just give him a place to live." Liu Zixia returned He Yidu's hand.
Liu Zixia had since thought about the various possibilities that happened if they were in one place, besides later there was jealousy from He Yidu's parents other factors could also appear unwelcome. Hearing Liu Zixia He Yidu nod, he did have another smaller residence, one that he bought with his own money.
"I have! We'd better get him right now, I hear the devil's out and start looking for humans. I don't know how much they've eaten out there" whispered He Yidu quietly.
He Yidu took out his token so that the gatekeeper would open the door. "What are you doing outside, Your Majesty! The demons are already outside, they will definitely attack this place. It's not safe for you to wander around even if you have a high-powered guard." The guard was trying to prevent He Yidu.
"I didn't go far, my mother-in-law was at the gate. My wife hasn't seen her mother in a long time, there's no way I'm letting her out there." He Yidu explained while keeping his token.
Actually he also did not need to issue the token because the guard on duty was the guard he often met if traveling to the palace. But because it was all a procedure that he had to do so as not to cause chaos in times of criticality like this.
The guard nodded, he opened the gate letting He Yidu and his entourage through. Not forgetting they brought the driver of the Zhuang family carriage because only he knew what kind of face the woman who sent the message was.
As they went outside from the gate by chance Liu Zhang also looked towards the gate. When he saw that out was Liu Zixia's entourage he immediately ran in pursuit.
"Zixie! It's Dad!" his loud shout caused several pairs of eyes to look towards Liu Zixia who had just walked out of the gate.
Liu Zixia ignored Liu Zhang's screams, followed the driver to find her mother's location and wanted to find out what the family wanted to help her.
