Lu Xuan and his party now numbered more than a dozen people. Now that they had some confidence, they sped up their search. Since the dragon soul had already made its move, the longer they waited to find Xia Qi and the others, the more danger they would be in.
After searching for a while, Lu Xuan's mind moved. He seemed to have heard the sounds of fighting!
He immediately poured his spirit force into his Er Men Acupuncture Point, instantly improving his hearing. At this moment, he could clearly hear the sounds of fighting.
"There are people fighting in front. It might be His Majesty and his group!" Lu Xuan quickly reminded.
Xia Jie looked at Lu Xuan suspiciously, "Why didn't we hear anything? You aren't bluffing right? "
Lu Xuan couldn't be bothered to explain to him. He took the lead and rushed forward. The Dragon Soul was very strong. Even if Xia Qi, Xia Xi and Xia Zhengwen worked together, they might not be a match for it. They had to hurry and help.
Tian Xin didn't hesitate and followed closely behind Lu Xuan. Seeing the two of them rushing over, Xia Feng said, "Let's go. Follow them."
"We will go too." Xia Qian hesitated and waved his hand. He might be the Crown Prince, but he wasn't as decisive as Xia Feng.
Seeing that everyone had left, Xia Jie didn't dare to stay any longer. He said, "Let's go take a look."
Running at full speed, Lu Xuan raised his speed to the limit. Tian Xin, who had been following closely behind, couldn't help but be shocked. Previously, Lu Xuan had maintained a similar speed as him. He had always thought that Lu Xuan's speed stopped at this speed. Only now did he realize that Lu Xuan had been hiding his true strength. Even though he was chasing with all his might, the distance between him and Lu Xuan was still increasing.
The sounds of battle grew clearer and clearer. Lu Xuan was finally able to see what was going on before him after passing through a mountain. He saw Xia Zhengwen, the King of South, fighting a man dressed in black all by himself, while Xia Xi stayed close to Xia Qi to protect him, not daring to make any reckless moves. Although Xia Qi was once a peak stage Origin Realm expert, he had yet to recover from his injuries. His combat strength was almost negligible.
Sensing the sound of Lu Xuan's arrival, Xia Xi hurriedly took a look. He was overjoyed. "Prince of Peace, you've come at the right time. Quickly, help Imperial Uncle fend off the evil dragon!"
Lu Xuan's heart stirred. Could it be that the black-robed man was the incarnation of the dragon soul? Lu Xuan didn't have the time to think carefully before he instantly activated the Thunderjolt Divine Crest and circulated the Blitz Lightning Escape, and he instantly entered the battlefield. His figure flashed to arrive behind the black clothed man, and then the Spiritual Sword was like a bolt of lightning as it instantly slashed towards the black clothed man's neck.
Facing Lu Xuan's sudden attack, the black clothed man was a little surprised, but he didn't panic. He raised his hand and pushed Xia Zhengwen back. At the same time, his figure flashed and he ruthlessly kicked the longsword in Lu Xuan's hand. The Spiritual Sword was so fast, but it didn't seem to be fast enough for him.
After the sword was kicked away by the black clothed man, Lu Xuan flicked his wrist and the Masked Dust Sword spun. With a turn of his body, he instantly executed the Divine Dragon Swings its Tail. With boundless power, it suddenly slashed towards the black clothed man.
Xia Zhengwen was already heavily injured and his strength was weak. But seeing the situation, he still forcefully took a deep breath and also fiercely attacked. The black clothed man originally wanted to block again, but then he saw Tian Xin following closely behind. Xia Feng and the others also rushed out in a line. He immediately changed his mind and used both his palms to block the attack from Lu Xuan and Xia Qi, and then slightly retreated.
Lu Xuan and Xia Zhengwen didn't continue to pursue and instead returned to Xia Qi's side in a flash.
Returning to everyone's protection, Xia Zhengwen finally had the time to catch his breath. Just as he was about to speak, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, causing everyone to be extremely shocked.
Before Lu Xuan and the others arrived, Xia Zhengwen had been relying on his own strength to deal with the black clothed man. It wasn't easy for him to last until now. If Lu Xuan and the others had arrived a little later, not only would Xia Zhengwen have died, Xia Xi and Xia Qi wouldn't have been able to escape the same fate.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Lu Xuan asked while guarding against the black clothed man.
Xia Qi waved his hand. "I'm fine. It's all thanks to my brother's protection."
"What's going on here? Is this black clothed man the dragon soul?" Lu Xuan asked again.
Xia Qi said in a low voice, "It's the image of the dragon soul. The formation here was destroyed. Not only did it cause us to be separated, it also caused its strength to be unrestricted. That's why it was almost killed."
Xia Feng couldn't help but ask, "Father, the jade seal has always been under your control. How could the formation suddenly be destroyed?"
Xia Qi sighed. "I think it must be because I used the Nine Dragon Jade Seal to block the demon fiend's attack, but it inadvertently shook the formation. In addition, I released the dragon soul after that. Under its attack, the formation completely lost its effect."
Everyone fell silent. They didn't expect this to happen. It was really fate. They just had to enter this place when they didn't notice it.
Lu Xuan said calmly, "Your Majesty, do you have a way to leave this place? Since the formation has lost its effect, after Your Majesty mobilizes the army here, you can definitely suppress the dragon soul again. "
"Of course." Xia Qi smiled. He took out a jade seal that looked very similar to the Nine Dragon Jade Seal. "This is the control center of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal. Even if the formation is destroyed, I can still lead everyone away. However, because you haven't gathered, I'm not in a hurry to leave."
As soon as Xia Qi said this, Lu Xuan had a good impression of him. He didn't think that Xia Qi would be so benevolent. He could have left by himself, but in order to bring everyone away, he risked his life to stay here.
"All of you, use all of your strength to block the dragon soul. Don't let it disturb me. Everyone, stand by my side." Xia Qi commanded.
Everyone was overjoyed to hear that there was hope of leaving this place. The attendants that the princes brought all stood on the periphery. Lu Xuan held his sword and stood at the very front. Now that Xia Zhengwen was heavily injured, Lu Xuan, Tian Xin, and the others were the strongest. The princes were slightly weaker, so they stood close to Xia Qi.
Xia Qi gently tossed the jade seal in his hand, which immediately hovered in the air. He then performed a spell, and the jade seal began to vibrate slowly. Seeing that the crowd was about to leave, the dragon soul remained unmoved and showed no intention of coming over to cause trouble. Lu Xuan did not dare to be careless and focused all of his attention on the dragon soul.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly pounced towards Xia Qi, instantly interrupting Xia Qi's technique. Then, with a fierce kick, the jade seal flew straight towards the Dragon Soul!
This sudden turn of events caused everyone to be unable to react. Everyone was focused on guarding against the dragon soul. They didn't think that one of their own would actually take the initiative to destroy the formation!
Before anyone could react, the person who kicked the jade seal quickly retreated from the crowd. The direction he flew towards was actually where the dragon soul was!
"Seventh Brother! What are you doing! "Xia Xi angrily shouted at the person. The one who destroyed everything was the Seventh Prince, Xia Jie!
Xia Qi looked at Xia Jie who had flown to the side of the dragon soul and said in a daze, "Little Seventh, you …"
At this moment, Xia Jie was smiling as he played with the jade seal in his hand. He smiled lightly and said, "Imperial Father, Imperial Brothers, I'm sorry. Little Seventh wants to sit on the throne, so I have to use some methods."
Xia Feng angrily looked at Xia Jie and said, "Seventh Brother, Imperial Father doted on you so much. You are the number one prince, but I didn't think that you would actually collude with the dragon soul! Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the destruction of the formation is related to you, right? "
Xia Jie coldly smiled and said, "Doted on me? If he really did, then why didn't he directly pass the throne to me? Why did he enter the jade seal space to fight for it? Since he made this choice, it means that he has no intention of passing the throne to me!
"Second Brother, you have been in the army for many years and have many experts under you. Eldest Brother is the Crown Prince, so there are many people who rely on him. I originally thought that Fourth Brother wouldn't have any competition. Who would have thought that he would have such a wide circle of friends? He actually found quite a few experts. How am I supposed to compete with him?
"Since I don't have any hope, then I have no choice but to use some methods. If all of you die here today, when I leave, who else will have the qualifications to fight with me for the throne? The other princes? That's just a joke! "
Xia Jie had a cynical look on his face as if the throne should have been in his pocket. He had also once thought that Xia Qi would directly pass the throne to him, but in the end, that was not the case at all.
Xia Jie exhaled and smiled. "Perhaps I really should thank Father for doting on me. The jade seal was casually given to me to play with and even allowed me to inadvertently obtain the method to control it. Otherwise, how could I have cooperated with Brother Long?"
Xia Qi stared at Xia Jie, his heart filled with mixed feelings. He had never imagined that the changes in the jade seal space would have been caused by Xia Jie. He had never imagined that Xia Jie would be so cruel as to collude with the Dragon Soul and kill all of them here.
"Xiao Qi, just because I dote on you doesn't mean that you are suitable for the throne. In terms of steadiness, you cannot compare to the Crown Prince. In terms of military exploits, you cannot compare to Lao Er. In terms of having a wide circle of friends, you cannot compare to Fourth Brother. What reason do I have to pass the throne to you? "
Xia Jie waved his hand impatiently. "Excuses. They are all excuses! Why can't I be the Emperor? Do you think I can destroy the Empire? Brother Long, help me get rid of them. When I sit on the throne in the future, you will be the Divine Beast Protector of the Empire! I will do my best to help you reform your body! "
By the end, Xia Jie had already begun to regard himself as the Emperor. He had actually begun to refer to himself as the Emperor.
"Deal! If you don't fulfill your promise, don't blame me for turning against you. "The Dragon Soul that had transformed into a black-robed man actually spoke in the human language.
Lu Xuan stared at the Dragon Soul and said, "As a member of the Dragon Clan, how can you do such a thing that is beneath your status? Do you know that the people of the Nine Dragons Empire call you an evil dragon? You are not fit to be a member of the Dragon Clan! "
