Chapter 205 - 193: White Clothed Ghost Appoints Black Warrior as General 2
"Your Highness, I will go open the path," Wu Ming said.
However, Xie Lian stopped him, "No need, I'll do it myself."
Then, he leapt down like a white blossom blown off the tip of a branch by a breeze and soundlessly landed before the palace hall.
Just as he was about to push open the gates, within the hall came the wailing of a baby.
Lang Ying didn't have any consorts, his son had died a long time ago, so where did the baby inside the palace come from?
Xie Lian didn't care for it. Nevermind a baby, even if an army of millions was hidden inside he wasn't afraid, and he raised a leg and kicked open the palace door!
Yet the strange thing was, there was only one person within the great hall, not another soul present, and there certainly was no baby. When that person saw who it was that had come, he raised his head, "You've come? I've been searching for you."
The one within the palace was Lang Ying.
Although he was now an esteemed king, he wasn't donned in lavish robes, and he sat stiff as a board upon the throne. Xie Lian was puzzled for a moment that this was his reaction before he realized he was currently wearing a funeral garb with a mask on his face, and Lang Ying had taken him for White No-Face.
There were arrays set up within this palace hall too, and when Xie Lian crossed the threshold to enter, he could sense there was something blocking his entry. However, he only pushed his foot down a little heavily, before he stepped easily onto the floors within the hall, and the sound of something shattering rang in the air.
The chill of winter and the evening air came pouring in from outside the palace hall, filling Xie Lian's sleeves full of wild winds. He said chillingly, "Why were you searching for me?"
