The Violet Electricity Spirit Fox did not seem to hear her explanation. It chirped non-stop, and only then did she realize what it meant.

The little fox had sent out a signal of danger, telling Chu Shiyu to go save someone. However, she was distracted because she was too focused on finding Yu Wuyou and taking back the dragon's scale.

"Return to the Grand Temple, the empress dowager is in danger!"

With a loud shout from the teacher, the carriage immediately turned around and headed in the direction of the Taishan temple.

When she arrived, the great temple was in complete disorder. Countless imperial bodyguards had died, so she had to help an injured one up.

"Where's my mother? "Where is she?"

The guard spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and pointed at the temple. "The empress dowager is …" It's inside! "

Master Chu put down his clothes and ran into the main hall, only to see Li Rui's corpse lying on the body of a beggar dressed in ragged clothes.

"Mother, let go of my mother!" She held her sword and roared at the man, stabbing him in the chest!

When the man raised his head and saw Chu Shiyu, his eyes filled with tears. He smiled bitterly as he held the blade of his sword!

"My Altar … "I've grown up!"

With a clang, the sword fell from Chu Shiyu's hands. She looked at the man's aged face in shock. He was dressed in old clothes, his hair was white, and there were scars on the sides of his cheeks.

Although the man's voice had become desolate and powerless, Chu Shiyu could still hear the familiar voice that had echoed in her ears over the past few years.

"Father... royal father ~ "

Chu Shiyu immediately kneeled on the ground, and she personally stabbed her sword into her father's chest …

Master Chu was the king of a generation of Heavenly Masters. After his death, no one was buried, and together with his wife and children, they were abandoned by the enemy at the cemetery.

All the children were dead, and all the wives and concubines were dead. Only he still had a breath left in him. After lying on his wife and children's corpses for a few days and nights, he woke up.

Back then, when the sword had pierced his heart, it had missed by a tiny bit, and just brushed past his heart, allowing him to come back to life.

He cried and laughed and cried. He was truly a madman!

Master Zhu Rong's trembling hands caressed Master Chu's face. He smiled in a gratified manner and said with a sorrowful and powerless voice!

"As expected of our Heavenly Master Empire's direct princess, not only did she come back alive, but she also took back all the authority in our hands. royal father is very comforting!"

Chu Shiyu threw himself into the arms of Master Yunshu and burst into tears.

"Father, you're still alive? But why are you only now? Why didn't you come back? "Why didn't you go back to the palace to find us …"

Master Chu smiled bitterly. Actually, he had appeared early on in the morning. For the past three years, he had always been at the side of the streets begging for money, watching the palace's tightly shut doors and feeling sorrowful.

After Chu Shiyu seized power, he often entered and left the palace as Luo Qing, while Zhu Shizhong sat in the market area, begging and stealing from her.

Many times, he had gone to the Painted Fox Inn to look for her, but he had always been chased out. Once, he had walked through the streets when his teacher took out a bag of silver from the carriage and gave it to him. Only on that occasion did he confirm that Luo Qing was his own daughter.

"I'll go back and see you and Tong'er. Ting Er is very good, very similar to me!" If I return to the palace alive, who will believe that I am still alive? I am already a dead person, why should I pick up things from the past? "

Master Zhu turned around and looked at the dead Li Rui. He smiled as he caressed Master Chu's face. He drooled over and over, but his tears could not be seen. However, he was still hurt the deepest in his heart.

"Father, what happened to mother? "Who did it?"

Master Zhu Yunshu tightly gripped Chu Shiyu's hand, holding his breath as he stared at her with rapt attention and said!

"Ah Yu, listen to me first. In the future, take good care of Wu'er and protect the Heavenly Master. Royal father will tell you the secrets regarding the nation's treasures. There are a total of five empires and five dragon scales in the entire Nine Serenities. The five dragon scales were related to the future of Tartarus and its fate. If he had the chance, he would seize the five dragon scales and find an illusory realm expert to synthesize the five dragon scales into a key. Then, he would unlock Nine Nether Source Spirit and protect all the living beings in the world. Do you remember? "

Master Chu stood still. Did the dragon's scale have such a secret? Was that why Big Cang wanted to get the Heavenly Master's treasure?

"Why is royal father telling me this? I only want you and mother to live safely. I don't need any dragon scales, and I don't need any to protect the world. That Dan is too heavy for Ah Yu to bear."

Master Zhu looked at Chu Shiyu, then at Li Rui's cold body. He smiled as he righted Li Rui's corpse, and took advantage of Master Chu's distraction to slowly extend his hand towards the sword on the ground.

"Ah Yu, there are too many people who have died in the Nine Serenities. There must always be someone to protect them. Remember my words, seize the five dragon scales and intimidate the Nine Serenities to protect all the living beings of the world!"

When Master Chu finally reacted, Master Chu had already stabbed the sword peak into his stomach!

"Royal father ~"

Master Zhu Yunshu slowly closed his eyes and leaned his head against Li Rui's body.

Tears streamed down his face, but Chu Shiyu didn't cry. Instead, he slowly placed Master Zhu's hand together with Li Rui's hand that she could not put together.

The two corpses lay peacefully in the great hall, and Master Chu was also in the great hall, guarding them for a very long time.

The so-called dragon scales were not used to hold the country in check. Instead, they were used to send people to hell. From start to finish, the five dragon scales were the ones that had truly killed them.

When the reinforcements arrived, Chu Shiyu was still kneeling beside the two corpses, quietly grieving until the reinforcements arrived.

Master Chu and Li Rui were buried in the Royal Tomb. Three months after the funeral, Master Chu rushed to the Changping Palace, where the Grand Princess was buried. He wanted to talk to Master Chu about the assassination.

Master Chu entered the main hall. He heard from the palace maids that the Grand Princess had left the palace early in the morning and had instructed them to report to His Majesty that they had gone to investigate the whereabouts of the dragon's scale.

A few days later, Chu Shiyu brought the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox to the northern base camp on a horse, because Li Rui's death was probably related to the family backing her up, or perhaps it was because the Dragon Territory Valley stole the dragon's scale that they gave the death order to their mother.

Li Rui's original name was Long Wan, a servant of the Beast Taming Family in the northern camp. She had once been ordered to steal the dragon scales from the Heavenly Jewel Master Palace.

The method of substituting marriage was close to Chu Shizhong, and Chu Shiyu had listened to Li Rui's explanation and learned the truth about what had happened.

The appearance of the mysterious beast tamer, the theft of the national treasure, and the assassination of Li Rui must have had something to do with the Dragon Territory Valley. That was why Chu Shiyu had gone to the Northern Residence's Sacred Land.

He not only had to recover the dragon's scale that he had lost, but he also had to avenge his mother.

The northern army was led by the general in charge of the northern army, and the northern army was under the command of the general of the northern army.

In the former dynasty, Guan Yi was led by Guan Yi. After Chu's ascension, Guan Yi was stripped of his position because he was nowhere to be found, and he was taken over by his trusted subordinate, Nie Rong. After Chu Shiyu seized power, he then seized the power of the North Teacher Camp and gave it to Guan Yi who was in charge of Ji Feng.

Not far from the North Teacher Camp was a watershed city that led to the North Zhao. The daily supplies of the North Teacher Camp were all supplied from the watershed, which was also an important checkpoint leading to the North Zhao.

In the future, Beizhao would be the Holy Land of the Dragon Region's forest, so Chu Shiyu went to visit Ji Feng first at the North Teacher Camp, personally thanking him for saving his life that year when he risked his own life to escort Guan Yi.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the camp, he was stopped by a few ferocious looking soldiers.

He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he came to find Guan Yi with a letter of recommendation.

But as soon as Chu Shiyao took out the letter, the soldier tore the letter into pieces without even glancing at it, and was even arrested for the crime of disturbance.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was tied up in a dirty woodshed, if she didn't want to find out if something had happened in the barracks, how could those soldiers make things difficult for her?

Back then, Ji Feng could be considered a righteous general under Guan Yi, but the soldiers he managed were not.

After the soldiers left, Chu Shiyu cut the rope with her dagger and sneaked out of the woodshed.

After walking around the camp, he finally found a room filled with words in the backyard of the General's Hall.

Flipping open a few books, they were all military books. Only the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside the door, and Chu Shiyu immediately hid behind the screen.

She thought Ji Feng had returned, but when she looked through the screen, it was actually Master Chu's eldest son, Chu Shili.

Behind Master Chu was the monsoon, no! He was not Ji Feng, but the man who wore the same mask as Ji Feng.

Only then did the man slowly tear a human skin mask from his face …
