Bloody Kyoto

"You're happy you can't find it?"

A gentle voice sounded in his ear, and Zhao Rongyuan pursed his lips, saying truthfully, "Yes!"

Han Yueze was quite surprised by his straightforward and unpretentious answer, and looked up at him to ask, "Why!"

"Because I know the true cause of Huo Yunxia's death." Zhao Rongyuan stared directly at Han Laozu, unafraid of his gaze.

“My wife has suffered from a serious illness since childhood. Even the incantation techniques of my Zhao family could not cure her, but Huo Yunxia cured her and freed her from suffering.”

"Such a great favor, yet the benefactor was so cruelly harmed. I am unable to avenge her, but others will."

"Of course, I'm happy to see this happen. How could I not be happy if you couldn't capture the Avengers?"

Han Yueze sighed deeply as he watched Zhao Rongyuan grow angrier. He understood Zhao Rongyuan's grief and indignation, but could not accuse him of disregarding the bigger picture.

Finally, he only said one sentence: "The Zhao family had better not get involved; you can't afford the consequences."

Hearing this, Zhao Rongyuan still felt a little worried.

Patriarch Han is of noble status and rarely appears in public. His departure from the clan to come to the capital this time shows the seriousness of the matter.

The capital was locked down for six days. All the members of the Han family searched the city thoroughly, but still couldn't find out who the otherworldly person was.

At this moment, more than a hundred people had gathered at the Jingzhao Prefecture, all looking dejected and hanging their heads.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Han Yueze comforted them, "The people from other worlds are quite capable; they probably know some concealment techniques, so it's not your fault."

"Ancestor..."

Among the people below were the elderly, middle-aged, young, and even teenagers. Hearing their ancestor's words, none of them were comforted; instead, they became even more listless.

It's all because they weren't skilled enough and couldn't help their ancestor.

From the moment the ancestor sent the message back to the clan, the entire clan was in an uproar.

They really put on a good show to compete for the available shares, all so they could serve their ancestor.

The group thought they were very powerful because they had defeated everyone else to get to the capital.

This would be incredibly disheartening.

They're still too weak; with so many of them, they couldn't even find a single person from another world.

Han Yueze continued to comfort them, "Even the ancestor couldn't find that person quickly. It's not your fault that you can't find him; it's because the opponent is too powerful."

After saying that, he turned to Zhao Rongyuan, who was standing aside and seemed unconcerned, and said, "Go and tell the Emperor that the lockdown on the capital can be lifted."

"Aren't you going back to the palace?" Zhao Rongyuan asked.

Han Yueze waved to the Han family members, "You rarely leave the clan. Have a good time in the capital for a few days, and then go back to the clan."

When the patriarch spoke, the Han family disciples obediently withdrew.

The courtyard suddenly became empty. Han Yueze walked out with his hands behind his back. "I'm not going back to the palace. I plan to go out and try my luck to see if I can find that otherworldly person."

Zhao Rongyuan watched his figure disappear, took a deep breath, and ordered someone to prepare a carriage; he still had to go to the palace.

As Han Yueze walked out of the Jingzhao Prefecture, he looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with worry.

The blood color deepened; the capital city was the seat of the nation, the place where destiny resided.

If the capital city were completely covered in blood, it would mean that the Shang dynasty's fate was sealed.

So many people were mobilized to search for the otherworldly beings, but in the end, they couldn't find them. It can only be said that luck was on the otherworldly beings' side.

A gust of wind blew by, and the small bell tied to his wrist jingled. He looked down and stared at it.

A moment later, he looked up and strode forward.

Sister Qiong, if this calamity for the Great Shang Dynasty is the will of Heaven, I'm afraid Yueze will be unable to turn the tide. I hope you won't blame me.

Not long after Zhao Rongyuan entered the palace, guards rode off to the various city gates to inform him that the lockdown had been lifted.

In an instant, the entire capital city erupted in cheers.

The trapped people surged out like a tide, as did those outside the city who wanted to enter.

Immediately, the city gates became extremely crowded, filled with shouts and curses.

Li Nanle walked onto the street and looked at the bustling scene at the West Gate. Although the people were shouting and cursing, they all seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Just as she was about to go for a walk on the street, she sensed a dangerous aura approaching. She calmly turned around and walked towards another alley next to the steamed bun shop.

The sense of danger drew ever closer, and she entered the space around a corner.

After she disappeared, Han Yueze appeared in the place where Li Nanle had disappeared in a few flashes.

He stared at the empty space, lost in thought.

If I'm not mistaken, that aura just now should be the aura of a spell unique to the Zhao family's Zhuyou technique.

Although the Han family was not proficient in the art of incantation, they were not ignorant of it. The aura they had just witnessed was of the highest level, guided by blood.

Moreover, the person who uses the blood is not an ordinary person; currently, in the capital, only that prodigy from the Zhao family can do so.

He seemed to have figured something out; no wonder he couldn't find that otherworldly person—it turned out the Zhao family had really gotten involved.

But, in the end...

His eyes widened slightly as he suddenly remembered what Zhao Rongyuan had said: Huo Yunxia had cured his wife's serious illness.

The reason why Zhao's son would stand up against him could not possibly be because of a favor such as curing Zhao Rongyuan's wife.

Then it can only be... Zhao Renlou, the patriarch of the Zhao family.

He had heard that Zhao Renlou had recovered well some time ago, and he could only marvel at the power of the Zhao family's healing arts. It was simply unbelievable that they could revive someone whose body was exhausted and whose lifespan had come to an end.

Looking back now, the person who saved Zhao Renlou's life was probably Huo Yunxia.

He marveled once again at the incredible power of the beings from another world.

Saving the ancestor of the clan is a debt of gratitude that the entire clan would repay with all their might.

It seems that eliminating the otherworldly beings will be quite difficult.

But he had to get rid of it; he had to do everything he could to keep the promise he made to Sister Qiong back then.

However, since he made the promise alone, he should also fulfill it alone.

Everyone has their own stance, and he has no right to stop others from repaying a debt of gratitude. If the Zhao family wants to help, then they can help; it all depends on who is stronger, him or the Zhao family clan.

After Han Yueze left, Li Nanle didn't leave the space either, because the man gave him a feeling that was too dangerous.

After Zheng Jiaojiao fled the capital, Old Ancestor Yun and Second Master Yun did not leave, but instead moved into the Yun family's residence in the capital.

At night, a huge Liuren compass was placed in the middle of the Yun family courtyard, where the Yun patriarch was intently calculating the future of the capital.

Master Yun stood to the side.

As the moon shone high in the sky, Elder Yun suddenly collapsed to the ground, large beads of sweat streaming down his face.

Master Yun quickly helped him up and asked with concern, "Ancestor, how are you?"

Old Ancestor Yun looked dazed and didn't answer Second Master Yun's question. He just muttered in disbelief, "The capital has no future."

Upon hearing this, Master Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it because of the people from another world?"

Ancestor Yun nodded with a look of fear on his face.

The string in Master Yun's heart snapped. How could that be?

Everything the otherworldly beings did was to avenge Huo Yunxia, ​​and Huo Yunxia's death was because of the Yun family.

In other words, if the capital has no future and is completely covered in blood, then the Yun family will have to bear the consequences.
