Outside the palace.
Inside the resplendent palace.
This time, Prince Lian wasn't in the secret chamber. He was standing on the roof of the palace, silently gazing at the northern night sky.
The cold wind whistled, blowing his long hair and gold-threaded black robe back and forth.
Two attendants dressed in black stood quietly behind him.
Even though the overwhelming divine power shock wave had dissipated a long time ago, Prince Lian still stood on the roof of the palace.
But Prince Lian stood motionless on the roof and continued to stare at the northern night sky without saying a word.
King City was bustling with noise and excitement. Everywhere was brightly lit, and people were moving about.
Prince Lian wasn't affected at all. He muttered to himself, "Lian Er, Liang Jianqing, and the 13,000 people have completed their mission.
The battle is over. I … still lost. "
Prince Lian's voice was low, cold, and solemn, with a hint of exhaustion and self-mockery.
But he was strangely calm. He didn't get angry or curse.
Perhaps he had already predicted the outcome of tonight's battle.
Or maybe he had been defeated by Ji Tianxing for so long that he was numb to it.
The two attendants behind him hurriedly comforted Prince Lian.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. The destructive shock wave must have been caused by the self-destruction of many Divine Lords.
Although Second Brother and Sect Leader Liang have sacrificed themselves, their sacrifice was worth it.
But their sacrifice was worth it. That d * mn beast Tian Xing must have been killed by the explosion! "
"Your Highness, I've already sent a spy to Celestial Dragon Mountain to investigate.
Please wait for a moment. We'll have the results and news soon. "
The status and position of these two attendants were both lower than Lian Er.
But they were also Prince Lian's confidants. His personal guards were named Lian San and Lian Si respectively.
Prince Lian shook his head and said calmly, "No need to wait. I've already guessed the result.
If Lian Er and Liang Jianqing could really kill Tianxing, why would they self-destruct?
Besides, I know Tianxing's strength and prowess better than anyone else.
Even if he withstood the shockwave of the explosion, he would at most be slightly injured. He definitely won't die. "
Lian San and Lian Si looked at each other, both showing worry and anxiety.
But when they saw Prince Lian so pessimistic and depressed, they didn't know how to console him.
At this time, Grand Prince Lian looked up at the night sky again and said in a sorrowful tone, "The nine great sects are gone, and the elites of the He Tian Sect branch are all dead.
Even the Imperial Army under Chang Yi's command suffered heavy casualties, their strength greatly reduced.
This king spent twenty years to develop this situation and secretly control this Divine Kingdom … but now, there is nothing left!
Tianxing … he really is this king's old enemy! "
Grand Prince Lian closed his eyes and heaved a long sigh. His tone was filled with hatred and unwillingness.
Both Lian San and Lian Si could see that Prince Lian was extremely sad and indignant, but he had no choice but to suppress his emotions and try his best to remain calm.
If he kept it bottled up in his heart and couldn't find an outlet, it would be easy for problems to arise.
Thus, the two of them hurriedly advised, "Your Highness, the night wind is cold here. You should return to the hall to wait and rest."
"Your Highness, we've only suffered a temporary setback. When you recover, that brat will definitely be executed!"
As they spoke, the two of them supported Prince Lian on his left and right and were about to return to the hall to rest.
However, Prince Lian shook them off and sneered with anger, "This king's injuries have mostly recovered. Do I still need you to support me? Am I that weak? "
The two of them hurriedly bowed and apologized.
Prince Lian didn't pursue the matter and said expressionlessly, "No need to rest. Go pack up and gather all the attendants. We should leave."
"Now? Leave this palace? "Lian Si was startled, his face full of surprise.
Lian San thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "The defensive power of this palace is much weaker than before. It's weakened by several times.
Now that all the forces under Your Highness's command have been destroyed, we have no one to use.
Only within the palace, there are still a large number of experts protecting it. Only then will Your Highness be safe. "
Lian Si finally understood and hurriedly agreed, "That's right. Then I'll go gather the attendants now."
Seeing that the two of them had misunderstood, Prince Lian frowned and said in a deep voice, "You two idiots! When did I say we're going to the palace?
With the few men under Changyi, if Tianxing really wants to kill his way into the capital, can they stop him?
I'm asking you to gather the attendants and pack up. We're leaving the capital! "
In his anger, Prince Lian spoke more bluntly.
The meaning of these words was that they were going to pack up and run away.
Lian San and Lian Si were surprised and puzzled. They muttered in their hearts, 'It can't be like this, right? Is it really that serious? '
After hesitating for a moment, Lian San asked tentatively, "Your Highness, where should we go after we leave the Raging Flame Capital?
Don't tell me you're … going back to the capital? "
Prince Lian turned to glare at him and scolded, "Why would I go back to the capital? To let those bastards see me as a joke?
I'm going to the Heavenly Sect. My injuries haven't healed, so I need to recuperate in seclusion! "
The Heavenly Sect he was talking about was the headquarters of the Great Yan Empire.
As for 'injuries haven't healed and need to recuperate', it was an excuse. His injuries were clearly 80% healed.
Lian San and Lian Si completely understood Prince Lian's meaning. They did not say anything else and hurriedly carried out the order.
Prince Lian was still standing on the roof, looking coldly at the night sky in the north. He stood there for a long time before he turned and left.
...
The Sky Dragon Mountain from before had long ceased to exist.
The area within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles had long been turned into deep pits and ruins.
After the shock wave of the self-detonation ended, Ji Tianxing was unscathed.
Lian Er's self-detonation had been suppressed. His Divine Body and Godhead were sealed, and he could not move like a stone statue.
Ji Tianxing carried him in his hand and patrolled the battlefield, plundering a small amount of spoils.
Most of the spoils were destroyed by the shock wave of the self-detonation.
In the end, only about 30 spatial rings, more than 10 pieces of high-grade Monarch equipment, and dozens of Godhead fragments were left.
These items were scattered near the spatial rift and had not been affected by the explosion.
"What a pity. The spatial rings and equipment of more than 13,000 people must be worth hundreds of millions."
Ji Tianxing furrowed his brows and sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, the spatial rings, Divine Weapons, and Godhead fragments he had obtained were all from the high-grade Divine Lords.
Although there were not many of them, they were still valuable.
After putting away the spoils, he carried Lian Er and flew into the night sky. Soon, he disappeared into the horizon.
He did not continue south, nor did he directly attack Monarch City.
This was because he had kept Lian Er alive for the time being. There was still a big use for him.
Four hours later.
Ji Tianxing flew 200,000 miles away and hid in a remote mountain range. He began to interrogate Lian Er.
Lian Er was Prince Lian's absolute confidant and knew a lot of information and secrets.
Ji Tianxing wanted to learn more about Prince Lian through this person.
