The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

"Who is it?" The head of the Shangguan family suppressed his anger and asked angrily, "Who is so cruel as to do such a heartless thing?"

"Do you know who is behind this?" Yun Jizhou also asked.

"I know." Xie Yichen nodded, his tone somewhat gnashing his teeth. "It's - the - temple!"

what? !

Everyone stared in disbelief, finding it difficult to accept the truth for a moment.

"How is this possible?!" The Sima family head exclaimed, still in disbelief, "Given the status of the Temple in Shenzhou Continent, it doesn't make sense to do this!"

"I don't know why the temple did this, but I did see the temple master with my own eyes. Not only me, but they saw him too." Xie Yichen pointed to the boat behind him, his expression filled with anger and a hint of sadness. "There's no need for me to lie, because we almost all died at the hands of the temple master."

After hearing Xie Yichen's words, everyone else fell silent. After a while, someone asked quietly, "Then how did you escape?"

The person who raised the question didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, it was Xie Yichen himself who said that they were all nearly killed by the Temple Master. In other words, even with so many people working together, they still couldn't defeat the Temple Master. So the question was, how did they survive? It couldn't be that the Temple Master showed mercy and let them live, right?

This is simply impossible. Not only does he not believe it, no one else believes it either. After all, everyone understands the principle of killing to silence witnesses. If the temple does not want to expose the secret of their human experiments, they will definitely not let a single person leave alive.

Everyone looked at Xie Yichen curiously, waiting for his answer, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he showed a sad expression. Even Tang Jinan, Yang Youli, and Yuebai beside him had sad faces.

Su Qingning and Mo Lintian realized that something was wrong. They stared at the boat for a long time but did not see the familiar figure. The bad premonition in their hearts gradually grew.

"Where's Qi Xiaosi?" Mo Lintian stared at Xie Yichen and the other three, his voice trembling slightly as he tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart: "Is he injured, so he didn't come out?"

Xie Yichen closed his eyes in grief. When he opened them again, his eyes were red. He apologized in a choked voice, "Lintian, I'm sorry. We didn't protect Qi Xiaosi well."

Boom!

Mo Lintian seemed to hear the sound of his own heart dropping to the ground, and his face turned pale. "What do you mean by not protecting him well? Qi Xiaosi...what happened to him?"

"Woo..."

Tang Jinan on the side finally couldn't help crying. He bit his lips, tears welled up in his eyes and slid down the corners of his eyes.

"sorry Sorry……"

Tang Jinan cried and apologized again and again. Even though everyone said it was not his fault, he always felt in his heart that if he had not suggested going to the island, perhaps they would not have this disaster, and Qi Runyu would not have lost his life because of summoning the Ghost King.

Hearing those repeated cries of apology, Mo Lintian felt the panic of having lost something grow even stronger. He looked at Xie Yichen and the other three with red eyes and asked through gritted teeth, "What happened to Qi Xiaosi? You... tell me!"

The last two words were almost shouted out, which showed that Mo Lintian's emotions were a little broken at this time. He wanted to know the whereabouts of Qi Runyu, but was afraid that the result would be unacceptable to him.

But that's how life is. The more you fear something, the more likely God will arrange it for you.

"Qi Xiaosi, he..." Xie Yichen spoke slowly, forcing himself to say those two words, "Dead..."

When those two words were spoken, everyone present fell silent. The atmosphere was suddenly so quiet that it was a little scary, and Mo Lintian felt as if he had suddenly fallen into an abyss.

Ever since he could remember as a child, Qi Runyu had always been by Mo Lintian's side. They were cousins ​​and grew up together. Although Mo Lintian always showed disdain for Qi Runyu, the relationship between them was very good, better than that between ordinary brothers.

Just like Mo Linyuan's position in Mo Lintian's heart, Qi Runyu is equally important. They are his two closest relatives.

"How did Qi Xiaosi die?" Mo Lintian asked coldly, his dark eyes filled with murderous intent. "Did the Temple Master kill him?"

Xie Yichen nodded and shook his head, "Yes and no."

Everyone was puzzled. What did it mean to say yes or no?

"To be precise, it was Qi Xiaosi himself who killed him."

After Xie Yichen said this, the others were even more confused, but he explained before anyone asked.

"Qi Xiaosi has a Ghost King token on him that can summon a Ghost King from another world, but the price is to sacrifice one's soul."

After hearing this, everyone seemed to understand what was going on, so... did the guy named Qi Xiaosi sacrifice his soul to summon the Ghost King?

Su Qingning and Mo Lintian already knew who the Ghost King was that Qi Runyu summoned.

"In order to save us, Qi Xiaosi sacrificed his soul to summon the Ghost King Yousha. He said that sacrificing him alone in exchange for the survival of so many of us was worth it."

After saying this, the tears that Xie Yichen had been holding back slowly slid down from the corners of his eyes, and after hearing what he said, the others couldn't help but admire Qi Runyu.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone regained their senses from the sad atmosphere. Yun Yijing looked at this and that, then hesitantly asked, "So... is the temple master dead?"

"I don't know." Xie Yichen shook his head and said, "We secretly left while the Ghost King and the Temple Master were fighting. As for how they are doing now, or who won or lost, I don't know."

"That's it..."

Yun Yijing was somewhat disappointed that the temple master's death had not been confirmed. However, his disappointment did not last long and he soon cheered up.

"Since the Ghost King was able to stop the Temple Master, their strength must be comparable. So, even if the Temple Master wins by chance, he will surely be seriously injured." Yun Yijing said, "So, now is the best time for us to attack the Temple."

Yun Jizhou nodded. "Jing'er is right. Regardless of whether the Temple Master and the Ghost King have won or lost, now is the best time for us to attack the Temple."

"What Patriarch Yun said makes sense." Others echoed in agreement.

"Master Shangguan, please summon the boat!" Yun Jizhou said, "Let's set off as soon as possible. Don't miss such a good opportunity."

"Okay." The head of the Shangguan family responded and raised his hand to summon dozens of ships.

Soon, everyone boarded the boat and headed towards the temple. The golden boat that Xie Yichen and others were on was also among them. They were not there for anything else but to avenge their best friend.
