Chapter 509: House Fight Turns into Thriller 48
The emperor looked at the young man in front of him, and an inexplicable trust surged in his heart. He believed that this man who claimed to be the princess's friend would live up to his trust and protect the capital city for the princess.
The young man was named Liu Hui. He was wearing a black robe, had a thin face, and deep and firm eyes. He exuded a mysterious aura, as if he was out of tune with this world.
The emperor led Liu Hui to a secret room in the palace. The candlelight flickered in the secret room, and the atmosphere was mysterious and solemn. The emperor turned to Liu Hui and said, "Liu Hui, the princess sacrificed herself to protect us, and her soul has not yet rested. I heard that you have the ability to control ghosts. Can you collect the princess's soul for me and make her conscious?"
Hearing this, Liu Hui nodded slightly, with a confident light in her eyes: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will do my best to summon the princess' soul."
As he spoke, Liu Hui took out a black jade pendant from his bosom. The jade pendant was engraved with strange runes and emitted a faint light. He muttered something, and the jade pendant in his hand also emitted a strong light.
The emperor watched from the side, secretly amazed. He had never seen such a magical spell before, and he couldn't help but look forward to Liu Hui's ability.
The light from the jade pendant in Liu Hui's hand became brighter and brighter, as if it was about to illuminate the entire secret room. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in the secret room, and the candlelight swayed in the wind, as if something was about to appear.
The emperor was startled and took a few steps back. Liu Hui stood there, his expression firm and calm. The jade pendant in his hand shone brightly, and a black shadow rushed out of the jade pendant and ran straight to the corner of the secret room.
The shadow circled in the corner for a few times, then turned into a white light and flew towards the jade pendant in Liu Hui's hand. Liu Hui quickly took the jade pendant back into his arms, chanted a few spells, and then turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the princess's soul has been collected, but it will take some time for her to regain consciousness."
The emperor felt relieved after hearing this. He looked at Liu Hui with gratitude: "Liu Hui, thank you so much! You saved the princess and saved me!"
Liu Hui smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my honor to do my part for the princess."
In the following days, Liu Hui came to the secret room every day to comfort and nourish the princess's soul. The jade pendant in his hand always emitted a faint light, as if providing the princess's soul with endless power.
The emperor and the queen mother would come to the secret room every day to watch Liu Hui summon the princess's soul. Although they could not see the princess's soul, they could feel that the atmosphere in the secret room was becoming more and more peaceful, as if something good was about to happen.
Finally, one night a month later, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the secret room. In the light, the princess's soul slowly emerged, her face was still beautiful and peaceful, as if she had just fallen into a deep sleep.
The emperor and the queen mother were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes. They finally saw the princess's soul and saw hope.
Liu Hui stood aside, looking at the princess's soul, his eyes flashing with satisfaction. He knew that his efforts had finally paid off.
The princess's soul was seen floating slowly in the light, as if struggling with some force. Suddenly, she opened her eyes with a determined light flashing in them.
"Princess!" the Emperor and the Queen Mother shouted excitedly.
The princess turned to look at them, with a familiar smile on her face: "Father, Mother, my daughter is back."
The emperor and the queen mother were so excited that they hugged each other and cried. They finally found their beloved daughter and the lost family affection.
The princess looked at Liu Hui and said gratefully: "Liu Hui, thank you for saving me."
Liu Hui smiled slightly and said, "Princess, you are too kind. It is my honor to do my best for you."
The princess nodded, then turned to look at the emperor and the queen mother: "Father, mother, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor and the Queen Mother looked at the princess, waiting for her next words.
The princess took a deep breath and said, "In fact, I didn't die immediately when I sacrificed myself. My soul was trapped by the Nether Lord, who tried to use my power for his own benefit. But fortunately, I met Liu Hui, who used his ability to control ghosts to collect my soul and has been nourishing and comforting me. Now, I can finally come back and reunite with you."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor and the Queen Mother looked at Liu Hui with gratitude and respect in their eyes. They knew that without Liu Hui's help, they might never be able to find their beloved daughter.
The princess continued, "Father, Queen Mother, although I am back, the Netherworld Cult Master and his forces are still there. We cannot let our guard down and must wipe them out as soon as possible."
The emperor nodded after hearing this and said, "You are right. We cannot continue to be immersed in the joy of reunion. We must cheer up and seek justice for the princess, and also consider the safety of the capital and the people."
The Queen Mother also agreed, "That's right, we must let the Nether Lord know that his conspiracy will never succeed!"
Therefore, the emperor and the queen mother began to prepare a plan to eliminate the Nether Lord and his forces. The princess and Liu Hui also actively participated in it and contributed their own strength to eliminate the Nether Lord.
In the following days, they gathered intelligence everywhere to understand the movements and plans of the Nether Lord. At the same time, they also strengthened the defense of the capital to prevent the Nether Lord from launching another attack.
Finally, on a dark and windy night, they received news that the Nether Lord was about to launch an attack. The emperor immediately summoned all the soldiers and warriors to prepare to fight the Nether Lord.
The princess and Liu Hui also stood at the forefront, ready to fight to the death with the Nether Lord. They knew that this was a battle that concerned the safety of the capital and the people, and they could not retreat or be afraid.
The battle began, and the Netherworld Cult Master led a large number of demons and monsters to launch a fierce attack on the capital. The emperor and his soldiers also went forward fearlessly and launched a fierce battle with them.
The princess and Liu Hui used their specialties to attack the Nether Lord and his men. The princess wielded her sword with lightning speed, invincible. Liu Hui used his ability to control ghosts to harass and attack the Nether Lord.
With the help of the princess and Liu Hui, the emperor and his soldiers gradually gained the upper hand. They continued to repel the Nether Lord and his men, moving towards victory.
Finally, at the last moment of the battle, the princess and Liu Hui teamed up to launch a final attack on the Nether Lord. They brandished their weapons, releasing powerful energy and hitting the Nether Lord's vital points.
Seeing this, the Netherworld Cult Master shouted in horror: "No! You can't do this!"
However, his shouting did not change anything. The attack of the princess and Liu Hui was as fast as lightning, instantly penetrating the body of the Nether Lord. The Nether Lord screamed, then fell to the ground, and lost his breath.
As the Nether Lord fell, his men were also defeated. The emperor and his soldiers took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and wiped them out.
The battle was over, and the capital and its people finally had peace and tranquility. The emperor and the queen mother excitedly hugged the princess and Liu Hui, thanking them for their contributions to the capital and its people.
The princess looked at Liu Hui, her eyes sparkling with gratitude: "Liu Hui, thank you for always being by my side and giving so much for me."
Liu Hui smiled and shook her head: "Princess, you are too kind. It is my honor to do my part for you and the capital."
The emperor looked at the princess and Liu Hui, his heart filled with relief and emotion. He knew that these two young people had proved their courage and responsibility with their actions.
