Volume 3, Chapter 78 – Because of New Information, the Despondent Mu Yelan Goes Completely Berserk

The capital of the Kingdom of Qingyun, Qingyan City.

As a national capital, this was undoubtedly the most dazzling pearl of the entire northern continent.

However, at this moment,

that former prosperity seemed to have its throat mercilessly strangled.

The fall of Chengluo and the approaching Corrupted Beast horde were like the footsteps of death, dragging the entire city into an abyss of fear.

The originally clear sky had been firmly shrouded by heavy dark clouds, leaving heaven and earth in darkness, as if dusk would never dissipate.

Wind swept fallen leaves, causing the streets to echo with desolate wails.

The bustling scenes on the streets no longer existed, replaced by chaotic footsteps and cries of fleeing crowds.

The garrison struggled to maintain order, preserving that fragile peace.

Countless civilians carried their belongings, dragging their families, competing to flee toward the south city gate. Children’s cries, elderly pleas, and crowd screams wove together into a painful song of departure. Undoubtedly, the people’s eyes were filled with reluctance to leave their homeland, but faced with the approaching crisis, they could only helplessly depart.

People knew very well what would happen after Corrupted Beasts occupied the city.

No one wanted the tragedy of millions of previous deaths to repeat itself upon them.

At this moment, even the air was filled with oppression and unease, as if the entire city was shrouded by death, trapped in a silent funeral.

Meanwhile,

outside Qingxiao Pavilion, the political center of the Kingdom of Qingyun.

Mu Yelan, the emperor of this nation, was currently wearing tattered white robes stained with blood, sitting silently on the steps before the hall, gazing at the deathly still city below.

The current Mu Yelan no longer had the fighting spirit of old on his face, his brown pupils filled with despair and helplessness.

“Damn…”

Raising his head to look at the sky, Mu Yelan sighed wearily.

After the battle at Chengluo,

the army of over three hundred thousand that had been painstakingly assembled was completely annihilated by the Celestial Blight.

Of the five Divine Departure Realm legion commanders, aside from Xiao Xuanyu who had brought him to escape, all had perished at the Celestial Blight’s hands.

Thus, the Kingdom of Qingyun had completely lost its power to resist the Vassals of Sky…

Therefore,

what the capital was doing now was not organizing defense, but accelerating the evacuation process.

He

had originally wanted to achieve great deeds, eliminate the Celestial Blight, and leave his name in history. At the same time, he would rescue the Kingdom of Qingyun from that evil sacrificial treaty.

But in the end?

…

Just as Mu Yelan was sighing wearily,

a pleasant female voice full of worry quietly reached Mu Yelan’s ears,

“Brother, please evacuate quickly… the Corrupted Beast horde will probably attack here in three hours.”

The speaker

was named Mu Yun’er, Mu Yelan’s younger sister from the same mother.

Silently turning around to look at the brown-haired, childlike girl behind him, Mu Yelan couldn’t help but sigh again.

“No.”

“Huh?!”

Hearing this, Mu Yun’er’s expression instantly changed dramatically.

“Brother! What foolish words are you saying! If you don’t leave now, those monsters from the Vassals of Sky will definitely tear you apart!”

“But even if I leave, I’ll still be torn apart…”

“What?”

“Never mind the other residents… look at the eyes of the palace guards now.”

“Their eyes?”

Blinking in confusion, Mu Yun’er asked puzzledly:

Reаⅾ on КatRеαԁinɡСаfе

“What, what’s wrong? I haven’t really noticed.”

“Sigh… in any case, it’s the kind of look that wants to tear me apart.”

“Why, why?”

“Do you need to ask? I rashly led a large army to attack the Vassals of Sky. In the end, we suffered a crushing defeat, and the cities of the Kingdom of Qingyun were conquered one by one, slaughtered one by one. Many of those guards’ family members… perhaps died in this catastrophe. Moreover, I’ve caused them to be displaced, to leave their homeland… even if I survive in the end, the angry people won’t spare me.”

Speaking of this, Mu Yelan’s expression gradually took on a trace of sorrow.

“Rather than that, I might as well fight those bastards from the Vassals of Sky… stake everything on one last gamble.”

Speaking thus,

Mu Yelan thoughtfully turned to look at the towering spire behind him.

“Instead, you girl should hurry and leave… the future of the Kingdom of Qingyun depends on you all.”

Hearing these words and taking in her brother’s resolute gaze, Mu Yun’er also understood her brother’s determination. Knowing she couldn’t persuade him, Mu Yun’er could only nod helplessly.

“I understand.”

“Oh, right.”

“What is it, brother? Is there anything else you need to instruct?”

“Speaking of which, what’s the situation with those guys from Paradise Manor now?”

Speaking the two words “Paradise Manor,” Mu Yelan couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly.

Being unable to defeat the Celestial Blight was just a matter of their own capabilities… therefore, regarding the Celestial Blight, Mu Yelan’s emotions leaned more toward regret.

However,

regarding Paradise Manor?

This emperor of the Kingdom of Qingyun had only one emotion, and that was anger.

You have to know, his decision to wage war against the Celestial Blight was crucially influenced by Paradise Manor’s instigation.

Without their promise to provide expert support and weapons and equipment assistance, Mu Yelan wouldn’t have had the courage to tear his face with the Vassals of Sky.

However,

after the war began, aside from the initial weapons support that had been delivered, subsequent weapon and energy supplies hadn’t kept up at all.

Moreover,

the five Divine Departure Realm experts that Paradise Manor had promised to send as support—he hadn’t even seen their shadows.

Not only that,

those guys had even lost contact now? Mu Yelan couldn’t even find them if he wanted to.

How could this not infuriate Mu Yelan?

“The Qingyan Guard investigation says those guys are still within our borders. What exactly are they doing?”

Hearing this,

Mu Yun’er, who was in charge of investigations, could only sigh helplessly.

“Sorry, brother, we don’t have a definite conclusion either. From the current situation, it appears that Paradise Manor people are transferring large amounts of our country’s assets to the Divine Kingdom, while also arranging private jets for top talents in various fields, prioritizing their transport to the Divine Kingdom.”

“Hmm? So they’re after our country’s assets and talent?”

Mu Yelan couldn’t help but frown tightly.

Those Paradise Manor guys were causing such chaos just for these things?

With the entire country being conquered by the Vassals of Sky, the losses in territory, wealth, and talent were immeasurable. How much could Paradise Manor possibly transfer? Moreover, the Kingdom of Qingyun’s destruction would also expose the Divine Kingdom—Paradise Manor’s lair—to the Vassals of Sky’s sphere of influence…

This?

No matter how you thought about it, the losses outweighed the gains.

“No, impossible… they must have other purposes! Do the Paradise Manor people have any other abnormal activities?”

Mu Yelan asked with grave concern.

To this,

Mu Yun’er shook her head bitterly.

“Not for now…”

“Then besides transferring various assets and talent, what else are those Paradise Manor guys doing?”

Rеаd оո ΚatRеaⅾіngСαfe

“There’s also the fact that they go to observe battles.”

“Observe battles?”

“Yes… every time the Vassals of Sky launch an attack, Paradise Manor people go to the vicinity. But they don’t seem to do anything, just stand there and watch. But every time… they never miss it.”

“Watch? Could it be that watching our army’s defeat, watching our soldiers and people being slaughtered… those guys feel happy? Incomprehensible…”

Raising his hand to his forehead, Mu Yelan shook his head in distress.

Intuition told Mu Yelan

that those Paradise Manor bastards’ intentions were definitely not that simple. They must be scheming, planning to sacrifice the Kingdom of Qingyun to gain something…

Unfortunately,

Mu Yelan realized this too late. No matter how much he regretted it in his heart, he couldn’t change reality.

“Forget it, thinking about this now is useless.”

Gazing at the dense black qi continuously approaching in the distance, Mu Yelan cast a reluctant look at his sister.

“Leave quickly, Yun’er. Also remind the Interior Department to accelerate the evacuation process. The Celestial Blight’s minions are about to arrive.”

Just as Mu Yelan was giving instructions to his sister, an old general over seventy years old hurriedly climbed up these steps.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”

“What is it, Xuanyuan Cheng?”

Looking at this old marshal in such urgency, Mu Yelan asked in confusion.

“Has something else happened?”

“Your Majesty! The last batch of military supplies you urgently ordered! They’ve been, been, been destroyed!”

“Destroyed? What happened?!”

“There was an elf… should be a spy from the Vassals of Sky!! She secretly infiltrated our armory and completely ‘destroyed’ all the military supplies inside!!”

“An, an elf??”
