Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-85

The womenfolk of the Ling family were weeping tragically. The originally
prestigious Ling family had been reduced to such a miserable state in
just one night; it was quite the sight.

“The imperial concubine! Quick, let’s go look for the imperial
concubine!”

The one who said this was Ling Yi’s very own younger brother and Ling
Xi’s second granduncle, Ling Yihui. Now that Ling Yi was dead, Ling
Yihui was the head of the Ling family. However, when he tried to go to
the imperial concubine for help, a girl dressed in green appeared before
the Ling family with a token.

“Our Lord has ordered that the Ling family is to stop here. The Ling
family must never look to cause trouble with Gu Ruoyun or the Luo family
again, or else they will suffer the consequences!”

Seeing the token in the girl’s hands, Ling Yihui was speechless…

He was scared silly!

Heavens, a Declaration of Death from Dark Yin Palace? Was this girl
someone from Dark Yin Palace?

On this mainland, it was fine if you didn’t know the names of all four
countries, and even the Weapon Refining Sect’s Sect Master’s surname
wasn’t considered common knowledge, but no one would claim not to know
of the Dark Yin Palace.

Dark Yin Palace’s actual strength might not be as rich and powerful as
the Weapon Refining Sect, but that was because the Dark Yin Palace was a
nest of assassins. Furthermore, they would take assassination missions
from outside the mainland, which was why they were so well-known.

Dark Yin Palace was also infamous for their ‘Declarations of Death’!
Before killing them, the people of Dark Yin Palace would send a token to
their targets, declaring that they would relentlessly pursue them till
death. There was no one they wouldn’t be able to kill. Most
importantly, up till now, no one knew where Dark Yin Palace was.

Thus, the people of the mainland were always on edge when they talked
about Dark Yin Palace.

He hadn’t thought that the Luo family would actually be acquainted with
someone from Dark Yin Palace.

That’s right, in Ling Yihui’s heart, the reason the Luo family had
been so brazen as to come to kidnap someone from the Ling family was
entirely because of Dark Yin Palace backing them! As for Gu Ruoyun, she
had been completely overlooked by him…

She was a little girl who hadn’t even finished puberty; how could she
be acquainted with the Lord of Dark Yin Palace? That was entirely
impossible!!

“Second Granduncle, don’t listen to her!” Ling Yu’s pretty face
suddenly changed, and with reddened eyes, she said, “You have to find
Aunt and get revenge for Grandfather and Elder Brother!”

Qingyi, the girl dressed in green, gave Ling Yu a very cold look. That
one glance seemed to pierce Ling Yu’s heart like a sword, making it
tremble as she lost all courage to speak.

“This lady, please don’t worry,” Ling Yihui’s pupils flashed as
he spoke with an intent to flatter Qingyi, “My elder brother’s death
had nothing to do with either of those people; it was all his own fault.
I definitely won’t continue to pursue this hated matter!”

“A wise man submits to the circumstances. I’ll return and report to
My Lord.”

The girl dressed in green raised the sword in her hands as she coldly
said: “Farewell!”

Having said her piece, she turned and left without giving Ling Yihui a
chance to react. Cold sweat rose on Ling Yihui’s entire body as he
stared after her fading silhouette.

On the other hand, Ling Yu, not having expected Ling Yihui’s choice,
had despair written all over her face…

No!

She definitely would not let Gu Ruoyun and the Luo family continue on so
brazenly! Since Second Granduncle wasn’t willing to stick his head out
for Grandfather, then she would enter the palace herself to look for her
aunt. Otherwise, since her aunt lived deep within the palace, she had no
way of knowing what had happened outside…

Thinking up to here, viciousness flashed through her eyes.

Gu Ruoyun, Luo Yin, just you wait! I, Ling Yu, will absolutely never let
you live freely! Paying blood for blood is the natural way of things! You
must go to hell to repent for your actions!

Author’s Note: Regarding Shiyun’s real identity, all of you readers
guessed wrongly. Haha, the situation between her and Qianbei Ye is not
like you imagine. I’m not going to reveal it now though, you’ll see
at the end. xoxo

TL Note: I forgot to mention the meaning of Qingyi’s name. Her name is
literally ‘green clothing’, which is why she’s dressed in green. ?

Also, the countries are named after the four mythical beasts: Azure
Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger and Black Turtle. You might also
know them from Japanese culture as Seiryu, Suzaku, Byakko and Genbu! Each
beast represents a cardinal direction… and the countries lie in those
same directions. Azure Dragon Country is in the east, while Vermillion
Bird Country is in the south. This is why Zuo Shangchen’s ‘fate lies
in the east’. ;P
