Lu Xuan and Ice Spirit walked toward the Heavenly Emperor Palace at a steady pace. Little Tanuki, on the other hand, was a little reluctant. It hadn't had enough fun yet. It lay on Lu Xuan's shoulder for a while, then jumped onto Ice Spirit. It was obviously bored out of its mind.
The ice spirit's body was no longer completely illusory. It was already in a semi-solid state. Although she often fell into a deep sleep due to overexertion, every time she woke up, her strength would increase to a certain extent.
According to Ice Spirit, although she was far from her peak condition, she could still exert strength comparable to the peak of the Great Void Realm. Lu Xuan estimated that Ice Spirit should be at the same level as Ye Wenjun and Sikong Zhengqing. She might be a little weaker than Ye Wenyan, but she was much stronger than Lu Xuan before his breakthrough.
However, now that Lu Xuan had reached the ninth tier of the Grand Void Realm, he should stand a chance of defeating the ice spirit if he were to go all out. However, if the ice spirit were to risk going into hibernation again to fight him, Lu Xuan might still be no match for it. To have such a powerful ally before the war broke out was undoubtedly great news for Lu Xuan and the entire Jiuhua Alliance.
When Lu Xuan, Little Tanuki, and Little Tanuki's aura disappeared from the ancient forest, some monsters hiding in the dark finally revealed themselves. They all heaved a sigh of relief. This time, Little Tanuki didn't play tricks on them. They all felt like they had just survived a disaster.
Back at the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Lu Xuan was walking to the Enlightenment Pavilion with Bing Ling, ready to introduce her to Ye Wuheng and the others. Unexpectedly, before he reached the Enlightenment Pavilion, he ran into Ye Wuheng who was rushing toward him as soon as he walked out of the hall.
"Father, why … why are you in such a hurry?" Lu Xuan asked in confusion.
"Xuan 'er, you're here. I have something urgent to talk to you about." As soon as Ye Wuheng saw Lu Xuan, his face lit up. Then he looked at Bing Ling, looked her up and down, and said, "Is this the senior Bing Ling you mentioned before?"
Lu Xuan nodded. "This is Senior Sister Bing Ling, our ancestor's disciple. At the same time, she is also the benefactor of the Heavenly Sword Continent ten thousand years ago."
Lu Xuan then introduced Ye Wuhen to Bing Ling. "Sister, this is my father, Ye Wuhen. He is the current head of the Ye family and the leader of the Jiuhua Alliance."
After introducing the two of them, Ye Wuheng cupped his hands and said with a hint of seriousness, "Senior, thank you for your help 10,000 years ago, and thank you for taking care of my son all these years. I, Ye Wuheng, am the junior of the Ye family."
Ye Wuhen's behavior made Bing Ling a little embarrassed. She waved her hands and said, "Uncle … uh … Leader Ye, you're too polite. What happened 10,000 years ago is in the past. Don't mention it again. Besides, Lu Xuan has also helped me a lot."
Ye Wuhen was also a little embarrassed by Bing Ling's way of addressing her. The seniority among them seemed to be too messy. Ye Wuhen was Ye Tian's junior for many generations, while Bing Ling was Ye Tian's personal disciple. It was natural for her to call her senior.
However, Lu Xuan was Ye Tian's successor and called Bing Ling sister and brother. Ye Wuhen was his real father. In this way, it was reasonable for Bing Ling to call Ye Wuhen uncle.
Seeing the embarrassment on their faces, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile. He said, "Let's not be so formal. Let's talk about our own things. Father, you said you have something urgent to discuss with me. What is it? Senior Sister Bing Ling is not an outsider. You can tell me. "
At the mention of this, Ye Wuhen's face also became serious. She said in a low voice, "I just received a message from your great-grandfather Gao. Something happened in the Heavenly Sword Continent!"
Lu Xuan's expression changed when he heard that. He exchanged glances with Bing Ling and asked, "Has Saul finally appeared?"
Ye Wuhen nodded at first, then shook her head and said, "It's the Beast Tide. There's another Beast Tide in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"Beast Tide? Why would there be a Beast Tide? It's only been a few years since the last Beast Tide. Could it be … "
Ye Wuhen nodded and said, "I think so too. The last beast tide was caused by the Soul Clan, and this time, Saul personally took action. If I'm not mistaken, this time, it should be him who caused it."
"In that case, let's not delay. Let's set off immediately. Let's see if we can find Saul! Let's go and find granduncle first. "As he spoke, Lu Xuan walked toward the Enlightenment Pavilion.
As they walked, Lu Xuan asked, "What's the situation in the Jiuhua Alliance now? The Peony Palace is adjacent to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Is everything okay? "
Speaking of the Peony Palace, Lu Xuan couldn't help but think of that beautiful figure again. But then he shook his head gently, throwing this thought out of his mind. Now was not the time to think about this.
Unexpectedly, Ye Wuhen only shook her head and said, "No, this Beast Tide isn't coming for us. The Peony Palace hasn't appeared yet. It's coming from another direction."
Another direction … Lu Xuan thought for a moment, then blurted out, "Zhongzhou?"
The Hundred Thousand Mountains happened to completely separate the Earth-stage Jiuhua Alliance from Zhongzhou. The last time Lu Xuan came back, he had crossed the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Since this Beast Tide wasn't coming for the Jiuhua Alliance, it was undoubtedly coming for Zhongzhou.
"That's right. Your great-grandfather Gao received a distress message from the Nine Dragons Dynasty in Zhongzhou. He immediately notified me. I've been looking for you a few times, and I just met you."
Hearing that it was a distress signal from the Nine Dragons Dynasty, Lu Xuan's heart couldn't help but fluctuate. Clearly, he was thinking of the past. After calming himself down, he asked, "What's the situation with the Nine Dragons Dynasty now?"
"It's hard to say." Ye Wuhen frowned and shook her head. "The distress message from the Nine Dragons Dynasty didn't give too many details. It just said that the Beast Tide is huge, and they're asking the Jiuhua Alliance to send reinforcements."
"The strongest force in Zhongzhou is only at the fourth rank, and the strongest is barely in the Great Void Realm. There are many powerful monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and Saul is most likely with them. They won't be able to resist at all. We need to send reinforcements quickly, "Lu Xuan said in a low voice.
"Indeed. Your great-grandfather Gao is already gathering experts. At the same time, he told me to bring you back to discuss. Reinforcements will definitely come, but how many people to send will still need to be discussed."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's mind raced. After his conversation with Bing Ling, he knew that Saul was a scheming person. He couldn't let his guard down.
He had devoured Ye Hao, so he knew the situation in Heavenly Sword Continent like the back of his hand. Zhongzhou was clearly the weakest part of Heavenly Sword Continent, so he decisively chose to start with Zhongzhou.
But things might not be so simple. Saul's hatred for the Jiuhua Alliance was undoubtedly the greatest. It was highly possible that he would make a feint and create a diversion. Perhaps when the elites of the Jiuhua Alliance were sent to support Zhongzhou, he would turn around and attack the Jiuhua Alliance.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind. Lu Xuan and the others had already arrived in front of the Enlightenment Pavilion. When Ye Wuhen received the news, she had roused everyone from their cultivation. Now, they were gathered together, waiting for Lu Xuan. Everyone was ready for battle.
