Chapter 363: A Handle and a Way Out
After Sang Luo gave birth to the quadruplets Anubis, her cultivation level broke through to the late stage of the Emperor Realm.
Before she could even rejoice for two days, a pain struck her heart again, and then she discovered that the angel totem mark on her abdomen was slowly turning from gold to black…
This is! The mark of a Fallen Angel!
Minos couldn't suppress it!!!
When Sang Luo rushed to the Holy Palace, the forbidden area was surrounded inside and out, with layers of barriers set up.
The bishops of the Holy Temple and all the great Holy Envoys were also dispatched, holding sharp swords and waiting solemnly.
The Holy Temple activated the highest level of defense.
It seemed… they were afraid that the person inside the forbidden area would escape.
“Minos is the supreme Holy Lord of the Holy Temple. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?” Sang Luo frowned.
The bishop bowed respectfully when he saw her coming, “Greetings, Your Highness Holy Empress. Please don't misunderstand, Holy Empress. His Majesty the Holy Lord asked us to do this.”
Sang Luo didn't speak again, trying her best to maintain composure on the surface, while anxiously staring at the movements in the forbidden area.
She should have noticed it when Minos sent people to bring the children over two days ago.
“Please rest assured, Your Highness Holy Empress. The Holy Temple is guarding this place. Please move to the palace to rest for a while,” another Holy Envoy stepped forward and said.
Minos was about to fall into a Fallen Angel, how could Sang Luo still be able to sleep well? But the other party's attitude was firm, presumably it was Minos's prior instructions, not wanting her to interfere in this matter.
Sang Luo nodded, “Sorry for the trouble. If there are any changes, please report to me as soon as possible.”
“The Holy Lord has the blessing of radiance and will surely turn misfortune into good fortune,” the Archbishop said.
After the Holy Empress left, he looked in the direction of the forbidden area and sighed heavily.
The Holy Lord had already foreseen today's situation and issued his last order: if he couldn't survive this time… he could only do that…
He had watched His Majesty the Holy Lord grow up since he was a child. To outsiders, His Majesty was a glorious Seraphim, but all he saw was a man with a tragic fate.
Perhaps the greatest comfort in His Majesty's life was meeting Her Highness the Holy Empress and conceiving two lovely and outstanding little princes…
It's just that the little princes are still young. After His Majesty the Holy Lord leaves, how will they quell the surging undercurrents…
……
Sang Luo stayed in the Holy Palace for another day.
Minos's condition did not improve at all, and the angel mark had almost turned completely black.
She suddenly stood up and walked out, bumping into Iloti, who was carrying food.
“Greetings, Your Highness Holy Empress.” Iloti asked worriedly, seeing her anxious face, “Your Highness, are you going to the forbidden area?”
“Yes, I can't wait any longer.” The Archbishop's words were just to fool her. If she really waited like this, she was afraid that she would receive news of Minos's death.
She wouldn't even be able to see his last face.
“The Holy Empress has also seen that layers of formations and barriers have been set up inside and outside the forbidden area, and the Archbishop and Holy Envoys are heavily guarded. They will not agree to you going there.”
“You don't have to worry about this. I have the innate ability to break them. Those formations can't stop me.” Sang Luo thought for a while and earnestly instructed, “When the Holy Temple sends someone over to inquire, just tell them that I am resting in the bedroom.”
Iloti's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this falsely reporting important information? What if it was discovered…
“Don't worry, I'll be back soon, nothing will happen.” Sang Luo patted him on the shoulder and took out a piece of high-grade spirit jade with a crystal-clear color, “There will be a reward after it's done.”
“Your Highness Holy Empress is too polite.” Iloti waved his hands repeatedly, daring not accept bribes.
Sang Luo didn't have much patience anymore and wanted to directly control him with her mental power. Iloti spoke one step ahead, “If the Holy Empress really wants to go, I will help the Holy Empress keep her whereabouts secret. I also hope that Your Highness will protect your safety. Also…”
He hesitated.
Sang Luo signaled him to continue, “I am the Holy Empress of the Holy Temple and have the right to know everything. There is no need to hide anything from me.”
“His Majesty the Holy Lord may not be the same as before.”
……
Forbidden area.
Black gas permeated.
Minos's face was pale, his eyes were tightly closed, and his lips were bitten until they bled.
The blood was almost turning black…
“Minos!”
Sang Luo appeared in the forbidden area, and seeing him so haggard and in pain, her heart ached even more.
“Luo Luo…” Minos opened his eyes, his breath hanging by a thread.
Sang Luo stepped forward and hugged him tightly.
The warm and fragrant delicate body made his breathing suddenly stagnate.
But then, his pupils turned pitch black, and a sharp sword appeared in his hand.
It went straight for Sang Luo's heart!
At this distance, no one could dodge it.
Sang Luo realized it too late.
Pfft!
The trembling palm deviated by an inch and did not pierce the heart. Half of the blade sank into her chest.
Sang Luo's face instantly turned pale, and she looked in disbelief at Minos, who had lost his mind. Then she discovered that a similar wound had appeared on his chest in the same position.
Shock, this is…
Perhaps this sharp pain dispelled that consciousness, and Minos's eyes regained clarity.
He saw the blood flowing from Sang Luo's chest, his pupils shrank sharply, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and his body trembled uncontrollably, “Luo Luo, I…”
“It's just a small injury, I'm fine.” Sang Luo shook her head, and her healing ability quickly restored the wound.
She reached out to heal him, but Minos suddenly pushed her away, covered his chest, staggered to his feet, “You… stay away from me, don't touch me…”
His whole person disappeared instantly.
“Minos!”
Sang Luo wanted to chase after him, but her footsteps suddenly stopped. She leaned against the wall, frowned, and covered her chest.
Soul mark—it was eliminated!
Her connection with Minos was completely severed, and she could not sense where he had gone.
And he… or rather, that thing in his body could no longer sense her existence.
This was the safest guarantee he left for her.
“Sang Sang, now that things have come to this, give up on him.” Quan Jin appeared in the secret room, supporting her almost collapsing body, with a look of heartache, “He unlocked the soul mark because he didn't want you to look for him again.”
“I, I'm going to find his Soul Bone. As long as I find the Soul Bone, he can return to normal.” Sang Luo burst into tears.
Quan Jin put Sang Luo in her arms and couldn't help but sigh.
She was affectionate but also valued relationships. She really didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
“Don't look for it, you won't find it.” Quan Jin stated the facts.
Sang Luo looked up at him with red eyes, “What do you mean?”
Quan Jin's fingers gently brushed away the hair that was stained with tears, “Minos didn't tell you the truth from the beginning. His Soul Bone is long gone. It was destroyed by the Holy Ancestor. Even if you look for it for a lifetime, you will never find it.”
Sang Luo was stunned and remained silent for a long time, trying to digest this fact that she didn't want to accept.
Quan Jin, “It was the right choice for him to leave you. Otherwise, if he continues to drag on, the first person ‘he’ will hurt is you.”
Sang Luo looked down at her healed chest, “I saw it, ‘he’ attacked me.”
Quan Jin was nervous, “Let me see.”
Sang Luo shook her head, “I healed it, it's nothing.”
She pursed her lips and said bitterly, “Minos made a life-and-death oath with me using God's blood as a contract. He can't attack me, otherwise he will suffer the same backlash… At the time, I thought he was just acting on a whim…”
Quan Jin was slightly stunned and then sighed with a smile, “It seems that he had already foreseen this day of leaving you and took the initiative to leave you with a handle and a way out.”
