Chapter 39 Going to the Capital

Thinking of the capital, Fang Yue looked into the distance…

“Captain Wu, An Dong’er, and…her corpse…”

Regardless of the You family’s attitude, Fang Yue thought… he should at least pay respects to You Sisi’s spirit tablet.

Gently stroking the handkerchief wrapped around his right hand, Fang Yue was lost in thought until Jing Yan called out, bringing him back to his senses.

“Night Brother, the team is setting off, let’s go.”

Looking ahead, the mighty long line was heading towards the city gate.

Taking so many people on the road together was actually not appropriate.

The wilderness was dangerous, and the number of people Fang Yue could protect was limited. He had no way of ensuring the safety of these people.

Fortunately, he had already discussed this with people. Most of these people would only follow the team to the next major city before leaving. Only a small number of people planned to follow all the way to the capital.

“Night Brother!”

“Little Night!”

“Lord Night!”

Mounting his horse and catching up with the team, Jing Yan and the others greeted him.

Fang Yue looked at Lin Ling, whose arm was wrapped in bandages, and inquired about his injuries.

“It’s nothing, Little Night, you don’t need to worry too much about me. To be honest, I’m not who I used to be. Although my strength is not as good as yours now, given time, you will definitely not be my opponent. When Lord Han is resurrected, he will have to look at me in a new light!”

Since transplanting Lord Han’s eyes, Lin Ling had become more and more confident. Although his strength hadn’t kept up with his pace, he didn’t care at all and was even full of confidence that he would surpass him.

Fang Yue shrugged, not paying much attention, but Qing Chen spoke up at this time.

“Night Brother, don’t think Captain Lin is bragging. I checked him this morning. After yesterday’s battle, his strength has increased again, and he’s not far from breaking through. The speed of his progress is extremely fast. And most importantly, due to Captain Lin’s increase in strength, the activity of Lord Han’s eyes has increased a lot, and we’re one step closer to revival!”

“Really?!”

Fang Yue’s face lit up with joy, and he was excited.

Fang Yue didn’t care whether Lin Ling’s strength would surpass his.

After all, the two were not in competition, but friends. The stronger Lin Ling was, the less Fang Yue had to worry.

Not to mention… Lin Ling was getting stronger, but he had become a peerless genius!

Moreover, what really excited Fang Yue was that Lord Han was about to be resurrected! This was the best news he had heard recently!

With a swoosh, Fang Yue stared straight at Lin Ling, almost shouting out…

[Change! Change for me!]

Fang Yue: ???

What business do you have here, suddenly popping up.

[Feeling wronged! The great and noble Parchment Lord doesn’t even have the right to go out for a stroll! Wuwuwu!]

[Is this how you treat the Parchment Lord who has saved you from fire and water thousands and thousands of times? Feeling angry!]

…Alright, stop chanting, you can stroll around however you like, I won’t care, okay?

[Hooray!]

Fang Yue sighed, he was a little helpless with the parchment.

“Little Night, just wait, it will be my turn to protect you in the future!”

Lin Ling left these words, dragging his severed hand hanging from the bandage, and walked to the front of the team, swinging it.

Hearing what Qing Chen said, everyone gasped.

Fang Yue’s expression was solemn, and he realized the seriousness of the problem.

What did Tian Ruichi do? Deliver messages!

If the other party killed the messenger as a side effect, then the person they wanted to deal with was almost obvious.

“He wants to kill me?!”

[Who dares to kill the Paper Paper’s people!]

…Prediction!

[Prediction!]

[I am Fang Yue, I am leading a team, following the imperial decree, leaving Chu Nuan City and heading to the capital.]

[On the way, the special envoy received a message by carrier pigeon, and it seems I am in danger.]

[I decided to take the team to the nearby Danyuan City, settle everyone in the team first, and then go to the Hanjiang Wharf.]

[The team set off, and everything went smoothly.]

[I arrived at Danyuan City, dropped off the people, and set off for Hanjiang Wharf.]

[I arrived at Hanjiang Wharf and successfully reached the capital.]

[Too smooth, there was no danger at all, I was worrying unnecessarily.]

The tone in which the parchment appeared in his mind gradually changed from playful and lively to calm and indifferent.

Fang Yue didn’t think much about it and felt a little happy.

Since there was no danger, then what was he waiting for…

Whoosh!!

Just as the thought reached this point, a picture suddenly appeared in Fang Yue’s mind.

It was a city wall, surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The corpses of Tian Ruichi, Jing Yan, Qing Chen and others were all nearby.

And looking through the city gate, the corpses of the common people filled the entire city, as if moving the picture back a little would reveal a scene of someone slaughtering the entire city.

“It ends here.”

A strange voice sounded in his ear, and Fang Yue felt his body being torn to pieces. During the process of his consciousness soaring, he clearly saw the three words on the city wall – Danyuan City!

Hiss—

Fang Yue suddenly came back to his senses, breathing heavily, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

“Just now, what was that! Parchment!”

[I am Fang Yue, I am very safe, I am going to Danyuan City…]

[No! Get out! What the hell! Get out!!]

A sharp scream, like a girl tearing her throat, rang in his ears, and some blood overflowed from Fang Yue’s ears.

“Night Brother?!” The people around him exclaimed, but Fang Yue waved his hand, even smiling at the corner of his mouth.

Because the parchment’s tone had returned to its usual tone.

“Are you okay?”

[How could the great and noble Parchment Lord be okay!]

[But it’s very strange, now that I’ve become stronger, I’m actually being disturbed to this extent, and there’s that familiar feeling, it’s just like being back in the old witch’s hands!]

[Something’s very wrong, Fang Yue, something’s very wrong. We need to escape quickly, forget about the others!]

[The old witch’s clone can’t still be in Qing country, so the person on the other side… should be holding some relic fragment of the old witch, so they can interfere with me to such a great extent!]
