Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Zhenying took a large brick and opened the door.

Cheng Yunmo stood directly in the doorway, staring in astonishment at the large brick she was holding. Belatedly realizing what was happening, he pointed the brick at the person lying on the ground and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't come to hurt you. I just saw someone coming, so I grabbed a brick."

Cheng Yunmo watched as Zhenying, despite her small stature, easily lifted a brick and pointed at the person lying on the ground without any apparent effort.

"It's him?"

Zhenying looked down and realized that it was someone she knew.

"This is actually someone from the Empress Dowager's faction."

Cheng Yunmo followed Zhenying's gaze and looked over. When she saw this person, she wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her, as she was seeing someone who looked exactly like the man who had killed her.

"Mu Yun?"

Cheng Yunmo blurted out the person's name, somewhat unable to believe his eyes.

"Does Lord Cheng also know him?"

Zhenying asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You're saying he's one of the Empress Dowager's men?"

Cheng Yunmo had never met this person before, but she never expected that Zhenying would say that this person was the Empress Dowager's man. It was simply unbelievable.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager just found this Mu Yun. Although he is one of the Empress Dowager's people, not many people have seen him. Lord Cheng, you..."

Cheng Yunmo smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Zhenying had seen a lot in the palace; she had witnessed all sorts of things.

Lord Cheng's current state clearly indicates that Mu Yun has stirred up painful memories for him.

Without saying a word, Zhenying dragged Mu Yun off the ground and threw her out of the mansion.

Everything returned to calm. Zhenying stood in the courtyard, quietly watching Lord Cheng. She saw that Lord Cheng's entire body looked as if it had been washed in blood.

For some reason, slowly, as if shrouded in mist, she covered her face and quietly began to cry.

The crying wasn't loud, but it sounded like she was in despair.

Looking at Lord Cheng like this, Zhenying felt an overwhelming sadness in her heart, even though she hadn't known Lord Cheng much before.

Cheng Yunmo was completely unable to control the darkness in his heart. Because of the special reasons, because of his arrival in Xu Kingdom, he had no time to care about how he died.

However, Mu Yun's appearance once again brought back memories of her past.

Why didn't Mu Yun die? Why?!

Dark energy was emanating from Cheng Yunmo's eyes, as if he was about to burst out at any moment!

Zhenying looked at it more and more and more and more, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

"Master Cheng!"

Zhenying was afraid, but she still stood in front of Cheng Yunmo. Her determined gaze showed disbelief, yet she insisted on doing it anyway.

Cheng Yunmo couldn't control her urge to find Mu Yun; the madness in her eyes almost took away her reason.

When she lost control and started hitting everything around her with the furniture she grabbed, the surrounding area was almost completely smashed and reduced to pieces!

"Why! Why is he still alive? I knew it! Even if I came to Xu Kingdom, this scourge of mine would still be alive!"

Cheng Yunmo went mad; she smashed anything she could get her hands on.

But even so, there was still no way to solve it.

The sky roared and began to strike Cheng Yunmo!

The lightning bolts were almost all aimed at Cheng Yunmo. Zhenying, who was standing to the side, could hardly believe it, because she could clearly feel that Cheng Yunmo seemed to have become very weak, and these lightning bolts were specifically targeting Cheng Yunmo!

Zhenying subconsciously took out a small white dove from her sleeve.

She whispered something to the little white dove, and then the little white dove flew away.

Lord Liu was woken up from his bed in the middle of the night by the noise a little white dove could make, which kept him from getting any sleep.

When they discovered that the incident occurred at Lord Cheng's home, they were all stunned.

"What terrible thing has happened?!"

Lord Liu rushed over in a great hurry, not even properly dressed.

As a result, what was once Lord Cheng's residence has now become a bizarre sight that is frightening to behold.

He was too scared to care about being afraid and went straight into the yard.

When Zhenying saw that Lord Liu had arrived in time, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Lord Liu, you've finally arrived! What happened to Lord Cheng?"

Lord Liu had never seen such a scene before, and shook his head, "I don't know either."

"Lord Cheng has become like this ever since he saw Mu Yun. We need to think of something!"

Lord Liu was at a loss for what to do and paced back and forth anxiously.

"Lord Cheng must have some sense of awareness. Otherwise, the two of us wouldn't be standing here safely now."

Zhenying knew that, judging from what she had just seen in Lord Cheng's eyes, he had no intention of harming her when he saw her standing there.

"Is this going to turn into a vengeful ghost?"

Zhenying had heard of him, but had never met him.

Lord Liu's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly remembered that Lord Cheng had once mentioned her past.

It seems that this Mu Yun... could it be that this Mu Yun came from some modern era?

"Cheng Yunmo, listen to me, that Mu Yun is definitely dead. Look, even if the Empress Dowager brings him here now, so what? It's definitely a fake!"

Zhenying overheard what Lord Liu said and roughly understood what he meant.

She quickly chimed in, "Yes, Lord Cheng, you need to understand that you're not alone now. Whatever happens, we'll all be there for you. Why are you doing this?"

“We’re both in the same boat now. If something happens to you, Lord Cheng, we’ll both be in big trouble too. Cheng Yunmo, are you really that heartless?”

Seeing that his previous words had no effect, Lord Liu quickly brought up how difficult it had been for them to get to where they were today.

"And the Emperor, even though he has the Empress by his side now, without you, what will the Emperor rely on to cover his tracks?"

Zhenying, standing to the side, nodded in agreement repeatedly.

However, what the two saw was an even more terrifying scene.

That was the desolate mountain that appeared behind Lord Cheng. The desolate mountain was faintly visible, and it could be clearly seen that it was slowly expanding as Lord Cheng's mood changed.

Lord Liu and Zhenying looked at each other, and they saw Prime Minister Mu standing in the desolate mountains, looking somewhat bewildered.

Clearly, Prime Minister Mu was unaware of what had happened and was gazing at the expanding barren mountain.

"Prime Minister Mu, do you have any ideas?"

Lord Liu was at a loss for words and didn't know what Lord Cheng should do now.
