In the cold eyes, a fierce fire flickered, and the terrifying crimson color in the pupils rapidly shrank. With a dark expression and a chilling voice, he said, "How can I calm my anger? How can I calm my anger? He disregards the lives of tens of thousands; it is simply insane."
He claimed to love the people as his own children, yet this was how he showed his affection? It was a complete betrayal of the trust the common folk had in him. Thinking of this made his already terrifying aura intensify; he was engulfed in flames of fury, and his internal energy surged suddenly, surrounding him with a layer of golden light.
Qinglong and the others were greatly alarmed. If their master continued like this, he would surely fall into madness. It was not easy for Miss Mo to rescue him from the hands of the King of Hell; if he forcibly expelled all his internal energy, it would undoubtedly cause his blood to reverse!
Realizing this, they no longer cared about their fear. They quickly rose and restrained him, anxiously saying, "Master, you must not get angry; otherwise, you will fall into madness!"
"Get away!" As he activated his internal energy and forcefully pushed them away, several people were thrown several meters back. The black-clad figures were flung against the doorframe, and immediately, all four spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ignoring his injuries, he was about to grab Night Star when the red wooden door suddenly swung open. A woman in a white long dress slowly walked in. Upon seeing the situation inside the room, she furrowed her brows tightly.
In a deep voice, she asked, "What happened?"
"Miss Mo, please look at the master! If he forcibly expels all his internal energy, I'm afraid he will fall into madness!" Zhuque was slightly farther from Night Star; although injured, it was not as severe as the other three. Upon seeing Mo Xier, he looked as if he had found a lifeline.
Perhaps only Miss Mo could save their master now. When their master became ruthless, he disregarded everyone; in this situation, they could only rely on Miss Mo to help him regain control.
Mo Xier raised her eyes and saw Night Star's bloodthirsty gaze with crimson light flooding his pupils. Realizing something was wrong, she quickly activated her internal energy and rushed into his protective barrier. Placing her delicate hand on his swollen fingers, she said anxiously, "Xingchen, Xingchen, I am Mo Xi'er..."
Her voice was like a gentle stream amidst the raging fire that enveloped him. Suddenly, it felt as if a torrential downpour had come down to extinguish all of Night Star's flames.
In an instant, Night Star's aura subsided; the red light in his pupils vanished. With a puzzled expression on his face and a hoarse voice filled with weariness, he asked, "Mo Xi'er?"
Staring blankly at the woman before him and noticing the chaos in the room, his brows furrowed in confusion as he asked, "What happened?" Why was the room in such disarray as if it had gone through a great battle?
"Don't you know what happened?" Mo Xier asked in bewilderment.
The four injured individuals lying on the ground breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing their master's condition. Indeed, their master only became calm like still water when encountering Miss Mo!
Night Star looked at Mo Xier in confusion, knowing only that his mind had gone blank moments ago, as if he couldn't remember anything. All he felt was a weakness throughout his body. What was happening?
Mo Xier sighed lightly and pulled him to sit on a well-preserved black wooden chair, then said, "You almost lost control just now."
"Lost control?" Night Star was taken aback. How could that be possible? Except for the time he was poisoned, he had always maintained good control.
He then raised his eyes to look at Qinglong, only to see that all four of them were injured. His brows furrowed tightly; could it be that he had hurt them just now?
Receiving Night Star's gaze, Qinglong slowly stepped forward, clutching his chest as he said, "Master, it was because of that imperial decree. You were momentarily overwhelmed by anger..." He didn't finish his sentence but knew Night Star would understand.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xier immediately realized what had happened. Earlier at the clinic, she had heard the panicked voices of the common people. After asking around, she learned that Li Ye had issued the decree to burn the city. Although it seemed far away, news travels fast; within a day, it had reached Boiling City.
She was furious and didn't dare waste a moment. She hurried back to discuss it with Night Star, only to find that such a situation had occurred.
Her pale face showed a serious expression, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes: "I just found out too. Xingchen, what do you plan to do?"
Night Star rubbed his head in frustration, his voice still laced with anger: "What can I do? He is the emperor; if he wants to burn the city, how can I alone protect the lives of tens of thousands?"
Moreover, he was a general stripped of Military Authority. At most, he had just over a dozen men and some Minion from Boiling City. How could they withstand Li Ye's army?
For a moment, the room fell silent because Night Star's words were undeniable. They currently lacked the ability to confront the emperor. Even if they wanted to save those innocent citizens, they felt powerless.
Mo Xier's mind raced as she sought a better way to rescue everyone from this dire situation. However, after thinking for a while, she couldn't come up with a foolproof plan unless Night Star had an army and could stall for time.
An army? Suddenly, Mo Xier felt a spark in her mind. After pondering for some time, she finally seemed to make a decision and said, "I have a way to save all the citizens in the city."
"You have a way?" The previously agitated Night Star looked at Mo Xier in surprise. He had thought for so long without finding a suitable solution, yet she came up with one so quickly?
Qinglong and the others also looked at Mo Xier in shock; they were almost ready to revere her like a goddess. She could soften their master's anger in an instant and solve his current dilemma—truly a Remarkable Woman!
Mo Xier's face flashed with a hint of unease. Although she had a plan, she was unsure if Night Star would be willing to go along with it. After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to speak up: "There is only one path you can take, and that is to seize the throne."
"What?" Night Star exclaimed in surprise, quickly refusing, "No way!"
How was this any different from stealing someone else's wealth? While robbing money might be forgiven by the world, he would be seen as a usurper and traitor for plotting to take power.
Moreover, even if he wanted to claim the throne, with their current capabilities, it would be nothing but a pipe dream!
"Why not?" Mo Xier looked at Night Star seriously. "That position rightfully belongs to you. What’s wrong with reclaiming what is yours?"
"Besides, he has plunged the people into suffering and turmoil, showing no qualities of a ruler. He has killed his mother and uncle; in his eyes, there is only himself. He is indifferent to the lives of the common people. The Heavenly Universe Kingdom will eventually fall under his rule."
"This..." Night Star found himself at a loss for words. Mo Xier was right; he was indeed not a good ruler. He had considered this issue before, but at that time, the people were living in peace and prosperity, and he did not want to disrupt that tranquility.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Mo Xier felt relieved; at least he was still willing to listen to her words. Although she spoke lightly, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
If he truly succeeded, then the fate of the three thousand beauties in the harem would also be tied to him. Would he still be able to cherish her as he did now? Once entering the palace, it was as deep as the sea; she knew this all too well.
Beauty often meets a tragic end, especially within those towering palace walls where countless blood and tears have flowed. How many have lost their lives in pursuit of favor? She understood this truth deeply; thus, she had once been grateful that Night Star was not the emperor, allowing her to avoid such sorrow. But now, she found herself compelled to voice these thoughts.
Watching the suffering of the common people weighed heavily on her heart. Her love was important, but she could not selfishly prioritize her own feelings over the welfare of all. If she did so, what difference would there be between her and Li Ye?
"Star, you must stop hesitating. If you do not act today, tomorrow it will be him coming for your head," Mo Xier's clear and resolute voice echoed loudly in the silent room.
At that moment, it wasn't just Night Star who was shocked; the four individuals standing nearby were equally astonished and looked at Mo Xier in disbelief.
They never expected such rebellious words would come from someone who appeared so innocent yet had a mind full of schemes. Although it sounded unbelievable, they could not deny that her words struck directly at everyone's hearts.
Though their master usually seemed cold-hearted, they knew he was softer than anyone else. Forcing him into such a role would be harder than killing him; they had brought it up before but had been met with his furious rebuke.
But now, when someone else spoke, it was completely different. This outcome was nothing short of perfect for the master; otherwise, he would only be led by the nose by the emperor, allowing himself to be slaughtered!
With this thought, ignoring the pain from his wounds, Qinglong suddenly knelt on one knee and said coldly, "I ask the master to agree to Miss Mo's plan to save the people from their suffering."
Following him, Heiyi, Baihu, and Zhuque also knelt down simultaneously, echoing his earlier words.
Night Star looked somewhat stunned, remaining silent for a long time, while the others in the room also kept quiet, giving him time to think carefully.
After a long while, Night Star raised his head, his eyes revealing a shrewd glint: "Alright, I agree!"
Since that day he spoke with Night Star, he had truly become busy, running around every day to connect with the former subordinates of the Li Family, hoping to help reclaim the throne of the Night Family.
Meanwhile, Mo Xier had not had a moment's rest either; she devoted herself daily to treating patients who had not fully recovered. During her spare time, however, she was secretly working on something. Night Star was too busy to pay attention to her, and she was quite content with that.
She did all these things simply hoping to assist Night Star later on. Finally, a war drum belonging to the Heavenly Universe Kingdom sounded. Just as Night Star was not fully prepared, suddenly, overnight, Boiling City was tightly surrounded by an army of one hundred thousand.
Leading them was Liu Qiankun, a general personally appointed by the emperor of the Heavenly Universe Kingdom.
They had no intention of calling out; as soon as they reached Boiling City’s gates, they charged straight in. Night Star's forces were pressed for time; many of Li Family's former subordinates had already been bought off by Li Ye. Now only a few with Minion authority remained guarding the borders.
In total, there were only fifty thousand troops. Compared to Li Ye's one hundred thousand army, they were like small fish facing a giant whale—there was simply no chance of victory. However, having led troops in battle for many years and through careful planning, he could only force those men outside the city.
