The Secret Wilderness!
Xiatian heard the word.
"Why don't I leave?" Xiatian said.
"No need," King Fen said.
"The Prime Minister and I are the only ones who know about the Secret Wilderness. But this time, both of us are in trouble, so this matter has been delayed. This contains a big secret about the Secret Wilderness." The old king passed the jade scroll to King Fen.
"Why didn't you mention it before?" King Fen Asked, confused.
"At first, I thought something was going to happen to the treasure, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But later, I found out that there was sea gold there." The old king sat up straight.
"Sea gold!" King Fen was stunned.
It was a precious material for refining weapons.
"Yes, there was a large amount of sea gold. But I sent people to investigate, and they didn't know where it came from. But after a while, I found that the level of the Secret Wilderness was rising. In other words, if it kept rising, the Secret Wilderness would be swallowed. So, I secretly asked the general here to bring people to open a passage to the Secret Wilderness. But I didn't leak the information," the old king said.
"You're saying that you're worried that the information will be leaked if you say it in advance. Then, the other countries at the border will get a share of the pie, right?" King Fen guessed the old king's thoughts.
"Yes, but I'm also worried that many people will die there. In the end, the prime minister suggested that we open the passage to the Secret Wilderness first and continue to investigate there," the old king said.
"You must have found out something." Lord Fen was clearly displeased.
After all, he could guess.
What was the price of doing so?
"The Sea Race army is already stationed there. They might swallow the Secret Wilderness directly and turn it into the Sea Race's territory," the old king said.
"If the Secret Wilderness isn't prepared, what's the worst that can happen?" King Fen Asked.
"The Secret Wilderness will be wiped out," the old king said.
"Nonsense! Why didn't you tell us about such a big matter? The Secret Wilderness has always been our border. Although it is very backward, without the border, the surrounding demonic beasts, the Oceanic Race, and those bandits would directly face our Flame Empire's official territory. At that time, how big of a loss would we suffer? Moreover, there are billions of lives in the Secret Wilderness, "Lord Fen reprimanded.
"I didn't expect something like this to happen. If I hadn't been unconscious for so long, I would have kept an eye on that place every day. And now, there's another piece of bad news." The old king's expression was obviously not very good.
"Speak!" King Fen gritted his teeth.
"Due to the new King's registration, many of the orders were delayed. In addition to the corruption of the people under us, the mission to open the passage to the Secret Wilderness failed. More than half of the army in the Secret Wilderness were killed or injured. Our military officers here became spectators. Furthermore, there were far more Demonic Beasts in the forest than we expected," the old King said helplessly.
King Fen remained silent.
But the old king knew that Lord Fen was angry.
Although the Temple usually did not care about the development of the Blazing Empire, they still had to watch over the Blazing Empire and not make any mistakes. Especially the Three Kings of the Temple, they were the main three people in charge of communicating with the outside world.
Recently, the Flame Empire was in turmoil.
All sorts of major events were happening.
And now, something like this had happened.
"But there's a piece of good news. My men just sent back news that the City Lord of the Secret Wilderness seemed to have noticed the changes at the border. He has secretly transferred all the people in the coastal cities away. Therefore, the Sea Clan hasn't killed them yet," the old King said hurriedly.
"That's right. The City Lord of the Secret Wilderness made a good decision." King Fen nodded.
At this moment, Xiatian finally understood.
Previously, he had felt that something was wrong.
That was why he reminded the City Lord of the Secret Wilderness. He did not expect it to be as he had guessed.
If Xiatian had not asked the City Lord of the Secret Wilderness to transfer the people away, the nearby cities would have been destroyed by the Sea Clan's army.
"But now, we can't solve the root of the problem. The passage to the Secret Wilderness hasn't been opened. If the Sea Clan really takes over the Secret Wilderness, the people there will still die. When that time comes, they will advance into the endless forest and face the Demonic Beasts. If they retreat, they will be swallowed by the Blue Sea and killed by the Sea Clan's army." The old King voiced his concern.
"There's only one way." King Fen shook his head.
"But …"
"You … Can you still make a mistake at this time?" After saying that, King Fen walked out. "I will inform the new King and ask him to announce Hai Jin's matter to the world. In order to save the lives of the billions of people in the Secret Wilderness, we can only rely on the power of the entire Tian Ling Continent. When those people hear about Hai Jin, they will definitely go crazy."
King Fen's plan was very simple.
That was to ask the people outside to be the reinforcements.
This way, they would be able to help the Secret Wilderness get through this difficult time.
After all, the Secret Wilderness was not the only country that was close to the Secret Wilderness. There were several other countries and many neighboring countries.
For the sake of Hai Jin, the other big countries would definitely send experts over to investigate even if they were far away.
What they had to do next was much simpler. That was to ask the people in the Secret Wilderness to start closing their doors and not offend any outsiders.
"Hey, was I wrong?" The old King looked at Xiatian and Asked.
"I'm from the Secret Wasteland." Xia Zhi smiled and walked out as well.
"What?" The old King's expression changed.
Although Xiatian only said that, the old King understood that his actions would most likely leave a grudge in Xiatian's heart.
After Xiatian returned to the Sacred Palace, he looked at the sky. "I don't owe the Flame Empire anything anymore. It's time to meet up with Lan Yuan and the rest."
Although Xiatian had already guessed what was going on in the Secret Wilderness.
He still couldn't get used to the scheming in the big countries, especially when billions of lives could be sacrificed for benefits.
He wanted to find his family. He wanted to protect them personally.
He didn't want his family to be abandoned by others in the future.
Gulp!
Xiatian finished the wine in his hand and left a note on the table.
There were three words written on the note: I'm leaving.
In the capital city of the Flame Empire.
When Lan Yuan saw the fire, she smiled. "Pack up, we're leaving the Flame Empire."
The four of them got ready.
Four people.
There was one more person in Lan Yuan's team.
It was Sister Ming.
Water Phoenix Mercenary Group: Lan Yuan, Su Mei, Sunset Kuryu and Sister Ming.
In the old King's room.
