“Your Majesty…”
Five ministers shouted desperately, but the Imperial Guards were as fierce as wolves and tigers. They couldn’t break free, so they were dragged down.
“Your Majesty, please calm down.”
The officials were terrified, shivering and trembling uncontrollably.
The Beiqi Monarch’s eyes were fierce: “From now on, anyone who dares to disturb the people’s hearts and mention peace talks will be killed without mercy!”
“We dare not.”
The officials pressed their foreheads against the floor, not even having the courage to look up and speak.
“Hmph.”
The Beiqi Monarch sneered, got up from the dragon chair, and left with a flick of his sleeve.
“Phew.”
The officials wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and struggled to stand with their trembling legs. They rushed out of the hall as if competing for speed.
“Hmph, a bunch of cowards.”
A ghostly figure appeared behind the dragon chair, watching the officials stumbling and fleeing in disgrace. He snorted disdainfully.
“The Lin Clan’s army is closing in on Jiankang City. Does the state preceptor have a plan to counter the enemy?”

The Beiqi Monarch didn’t go far. He stood behind the curtain, his eyes cold and unfathomable as he watched the scene unfold.
“Of course, I have a plan.”
The state preceptor stroked his beard, raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and suddenly changed the subject with a cold smile: “However, if I personally take action, has the Monarch already thought of the appropriate reward I will receive?”
“What do you want?”
The Beiqi Monarch’s right fist clenched, blue veins appearing on his hand.
“Twenty infants under the age of one.”
The state preceptor licked his teeth and laughed sinisterly.
“Fine, I agree.”
The Beiqi Monarch gritted his teeth, suppressing his emotions and not revealing his disgust.
“Hahaha, how generous of the Monarch.”
The state preceptor’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty glint: “Tonight, I want to see those infants, not one less.”
“Fine.”
The Beiqi Monarch almost spat out those two words through clenched teeth.
“Hahaha.”
The state preceptor laughed triumphantly, his figure flashing and disappearing from sight.

That night, mysterious undercurrents surged in Jiankang City, and infants vanished inexplicably.
The bereaved families were devastated and flooded the streets in search, their heartrending cries resounding through the silent night.
“Another family lost their child?”
“It’s terrifying. In the past six months, nearly a hundred children have gone missing in Jiankang City.”
“All of them were just born and less than a year old.”
“Who could be so heartless to steal someone else’s child?”
“The heavens are blind! No Tianlei strike those who commit such atrocities.”
Hearing the cries, the people were empathetic, and their anger surged.
Families with infants were even more frightened, holding tightly to their children, not daring to let go for even a moment.
They were afraid that the moment they let go, the child would disappear in the blink of an eye.

At midnight, in the Cold Palace.
Withered branches scattered everywhere, the desolate and dilapidated courtyard was deserted. The howling night wind passed through the burned remnants and broken walls, producing eerie, ghostly wails.
The state preceptor sat in the center of a blood-painted circular spell formation. Twenty stolen infants, with their eyes closed, were arranged around the formation.
The state preceptor formed hand seals and uttered a complicated incantation. The circular spell formation suddenly emitted a bizarre red light.
The blood symbols painted on the ground were like bloodthirsty snakes, burrowing into the bodies of the twenty infants, and consuming their flesh and blood.
