After stopping outside the Isolated Forest for a while, Xing Jue and Feng Ling sped up the speed of the Mysterious Jade Ship and headed straight for the Starfall Dynasty.
"What happened? Could it be that we're too late? "
However, just as they approached the Lucky Dynasty, Xing Jue's face became unusually flustered because the Starfall Dynasty in his memory no longer existed.
Now, the Starfall Dynasty had actually become a wasteland. The forests of the past had turned into black ashes, the former cities had turned into pieces of bricks and stones, and even half of the Imperial City had been destroyed. Only the Receiving Platform was still intact.
"That's … a guide. There are guides stationed at the Receiving Platform."
After approaching, Xing Jue discovered that there were guides guarding outside the Receiving Platform. These guides were also equipped with dragon carriages. However, the strange thing was that the guide's clothes were very thick and special.
Most importantly, he was actually a War Immortal. Logically speaking, the guides were mostly ordinary people. It was impossible for such a strong person to appear.
"No, this shouldn't be today's destruction. It has been at least a few years. Those deep footprints seem to belong to Demonic Beasts. Could it be Wu Shan's doing?" Very quickly, Xing Jue confirmed that the traces of war in the Starfall Dynasty had been there for some years.
Moreover, there were pits that were more than ten meters long on the ground. The shape was obviously formed by the footprints of Demonic Beasts. In addition, there was a strange aura hidden in the ground, which was somewhat similar to the power of a curse.
This aura was nothing to Xing Jue, but it was fatal to ordinary people. At this moment, Xing Jue seemed to understand why the guides who stopped here wore special clothes, and even the structure of the dragon carriages were different.
Feeling that something was wrong, Xing Jue quickly took out the Fang Treasure Token that could directly communicate with the Emperor of the Starfall Dynasty.
After a while, Xing Jue's tense face finally blossomed into a bright smile. His heart was finally at ease because he had received a reply from the Emperor. This meant that at least the Emperor and the others should be safe.
In fact, ever since Xing Jue had left, the Starfall Dynasty had unified the three great dynasties. Now, the Fengli Dynasty and the Phaseless Dynasty no longer existed. Other than the isolated forest, the entire Asura Continent belonged to the Starfall Dynasty.
At this moment, in the depths of the royal capital of the Fengli Royal City, a man in a golden dragon robe sat on the supreme dragon throne and held the token above him as he laughed wildly.
It was as if an extremely joyous event had just happened. All the officials looked at each other, but none of them knew what was going on. They could only stare blankly at the excited Emperor.
The Emperor who was laughing maniacally was the Emperor of the Starfall Empire, Princess Xin Xin's father. At that moment, all the civil and military officials in the hall were from the Starfall Empire.
"Stop the morning court session and hold the amnesty banquet. Hurry up!" Suddenly, the emperor stood up abruptly, waved his arm, and announced loudly to the ministers below.
"… …" The Emperor's sudden action caused these officials to be at a loss.
"Your Majesty, what exactly happened?" At this moment, a high-ranking official gathered his courage and asked.
"Xing Jue is back! Xing Jue is back! Hahaha … Xing Jue is back!!! "
"Today, the Emperor is going to grant amnesty to the world, and the entire imperial court will celebrate together!!!!" The Emperor was in a great mood at that moment, and he laughed excitedly …
"Xing Jue? The hero who saved our Starfall Empire? "
"Oh my god, it's him? Is Xing Jue really back? "
The official was stunned at first, but soon, an excited expression similar to that of the Emperor appeared on his aged face. Then, he turned around and shouted to the people behind him, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.
Hurry up and prepare the banquet. Today, the Emperor is going to grant amnesty to the world. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it! "
At that moment, the officials also came to their senses. All of them were so excited that their bodies began to tremble. However, they excitedly ran out of the hall to prepare everything and spread the news.
Xing Jue was an existence that everyone in the Starfall Empire knew about. He was the hero who had saved the Starfall Empire. Regardless of whether it was in the empire or among the common people, Xing Jue was the idol of all young men and the Prince Charming in the hearts of all young women.
Even though it had been a few years since the incident, the story of Xing Jue was still like a myth, and it was passed down in this land.
"Haha, Xing Jue is back. I didn't expect him to come back."
"I have to tell Xin Xin quickly. I really wonder how happy that girl will be when she finds out about this." At that moment, only the Emperor was left in the huge palace.
He quickly paced back and forth in front of the Dragon Throne. He was so happy that he was dancing with joy. As he muttered to himself, he once again took out the Royal Token, wanting to spread the good news to all those who knew Xing Jue.
"Your Majesty!" However, at that moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind the Emperor.
When the voice rang out, the Emperor's body seemed to have stiffened. After a moment, he slowly turned his head. When he saw the two people behind him, his originally lifeless face instantly blossomed into an extremely bright smile.
Xing Jue and Elder Xuan Xiang were standing behind Xing Jue. Xing Jue's appearance had not changed much compared to before. It had only become more mature and steady, and possessed more manly charm. At that moment, he was looking at the Emperor with a smile.
"Haha, Xing Jue, it's you. It's really you!"
The Emperor shot up to Xing Jue and embraced Xing Jue in his arms. He was so affectionate that it was as if he had seen his beloved son whom he had not seen for many years.
The Emperor was too excited. He was so excited that he lost the demeanor of a ruler. After a long while, he finally came to his senses and invited Xing Jue and Elder Xuan Xiang to the back palace to entertain them.
Of course, he did not know Elder Xuan Xiang's strength and identity. If he knew that this old man was a top-notch expert in this world, he would definitely not receive the two of them so calmly.
"Your Majesty, after I left, did anyone from the Sky Martial Continent come here?" This was the first question that Xing Jue asked. It was also the question that he was most concerned about.
"No. Ever since you left, the Sky Martial Continent's Receiving Platform has always been the one that I placed the most importance on, but no one has ever come here." The Emperor shook his head.
Hearing this, Xing Jue heaved a sigh of relief. The current situation was critical. It was a good thing that no one from the Sky Martial Continent came here.
In fact, Xing Jue could guess that with the Sky Martial Continent's situation, if anyone could come here, it would most likely be Li Xiaohan, the person that he was most concerned about.
Because the Sky Martial Continent lacked Saint Stones, even if other people cultivated to a high-level Combat Emperor, they would not be able to break through to the Combat Saint level without Saint Stones.
However, Xing Jue reckoned that with Fairy Ying's heaven-defying strength, she would definitely have Saint Stones for Li Xiaohan to cultivate.
Even if she did not have Saint Stones, she should be able to use other methods to increase her strength. After all, the Mystic Moon power that Fairy Ying possessed was extremely terrifying and mystical.
"Then, Your Majesty, who was the one that destroyed the homeland of the Starfall Dynasty?" Xing Jue asked again.
"Heh, speaking of which, it was truly a disaster."
"That was a demonic creature that came from the Isolated Forest. It invaded the Starfall Dynasty and fed on the commoners. Moreover, its body was impervious to swords and spears. It was impervious to fire and water. Its roar could shatter the earth and it could destroy cities. It was extremely terrifying." The Emperor recounted the events that happened in the past. Even now, he still had lingering fears.
"As expected. Then, how was the disaster resolved in the end? Did it leave on its own? "
Xing Jue knew that the Starfall Dynasty's strength was unable to contend against that kind of monster. If it continued to act recklessly, the Starfall Dynasty would be completely destroyed.
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to that friend of yours." The Emperor smiled gratefully.
"Friend?" Xing Jue was stunned. He did not know which friend of his had come here.
"It's that young lady with a pair of red eyes!" The Emperor explained.
"Sister Xue? It's her? "
At that moment, Xing Jue came to a sudden realization. Sister Xue had the body of an evil spirit. Her cultivation speed was already extremely terrifying. If it was her, she should have the strength to resist that monster.
"That's right, it's her. I will never forget that pair of blood-red eyes. On that bloody night, it was she who single-handedly repelled that monster."
"She also told us that the territory of the Starfall Dynasty has been invaded by a special power. We can no longer allow commoners to live there. She asked us to move elsewhere." The Emperor continued. His words were filled with gratitude towards Sister Xue.
Hearing this, Xing Jue felt very gratified. Back then, the Starfall Dynasty had hunted down Sister Xue. Sister Xue should have hated them to the core. If she had the power, she should have come to fight them.
However, not only did Sister Xue not do that, but she had also helped the Starfall Continent when it was in trouble. This was something that Xing Jue did not expect.
"Then, do you know where she is now? Has she left this place? "Xing Jue asked. Sister Xue was one of the people he cared about in the Shura Continent.
"It's strange. After she defeated that violent monster, it was at her mercy. She brought it back to the isolated forest and never appeared again."
"If she is still on this continent, she should also be in the isolated forest, right?" The Emperor said.
"The isolated forest? Sister Xue is also in the isolated forest? "Hearing this, Xing Jue was shocked. His expression became strange.
Others might not know where the isolated forest was, but he knew it very well. It was Wu Shan's lair. It was the place where a shocking battle was going to take place. It was the center of the battlefield.
"Elder Xuan Xiang, I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to the isolated forest," Xing Jue suddenly stood up and said to Elder Xuan Xiang with a serious expression.
"City Lord, you can't go there. It's too dangerous. You can't go there alone. If you want to go, I have to go with you." Elder Xuan Xiang was very worried.
"It's fine, Elder Xuan Xiang. I can change my appearance and hide my presence. Even if Wu Shan is really there, it'll be easier for me to blend in. If I bring you along, I'll attract attention."
Xing Jue smiled and comforted him. He knew that in Elder Xuan Xiang's eyes, Xing Jue's life seemed to be more precious than his own.
"But …"
"Don't worry, Elder Xuan Xiang. Even Mount Wuzhi can't do anything to me, let alone Wu Shan." A confident smile hung on Xing Jue's bright face.
