It was impossible to find a single undamaged house in Changyang Prefecture. The entire place was a complete mess. All the houses and halls had collapsed. Many injured guards moved through the ruins with stiff expressions as they dealt with the corpses of their companions. Their faces were filled with deep sorrow.
Today was an unforgettable and tragic day for Changyang Prefecture. The shockwaves of energy from the battle between more than ten Heaven Saint Masters had caused a large number of guards and servants to lose their lives. Countless people had been injured. The casualties were extremely heavy. The entire Changyang Prefecture was filled with a heavy atmosphere of sorrow. The atmosphere was extremely stifling.
Chang Wuji slowly walked out of the basement with heavy steps. Compared to before, the expression on his face was much more relaxed now, and he secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Although Changyang Prefecture had suffered heavy losses in this battle, the important figures of the clan had not suffered any losses. Only a few people had been injured, but it was nothing serious.
Chang Wuji arrived at the center of Changyang Prefecture. His deep eyes slowly swept through the surroundings. In the end, he let out a long sigh. His face was filled with sorrow.
The five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire also descended from the sky. They stood by Chang Wuji's side. Xiao Tian was the first to ask, "Chang Wuji, how is the situation of the patriarch and the fourth madam? Have they been injured?" The five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire were most concerned about Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian because they were the parents of the Imperial Protector.
Chang Wuji shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Imperial Advisor. Although the patriarch and the fourth madam have suffered some light injuries, they are fine."
With that, the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire could not help but let out a sigh of relief. If anything had happened to Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian, they really would not have been able to explain it to the Imperial Protector.
The secret of the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire in Changyang Prefecture had never been made public. When the people who had come to watch the show saw the Heaven Saint Masters who had just repelled the ten experts of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom land in Changyang Prefecture, they were all surprised. They began to discuss among themselves. No one had thought that so many Heaven Saint Masters would be hidden in Changyang Prefecture. This force was just too great.
"Cough cough … C- senior Chang Wuji, how is Yue 'er?" The king coughed as he spoke. He would cough up some blood from time to time. Clearly, he had suffered some internal injuries.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Princess Glan is fine." Chang Wuji said.
"That's good, that's good." His Majesty's heart finally calmed down. You Yue was the daughter he doted on the most, so he was naturally very concerned about his daughter's safety.
Afterwards, the city lord of Lore City and the representatives of the three other clans led a few experts from their clans to Changyang Prefecture to express their condolences. They all spoke some words of concern with a pained expression. However, their gazes were mostly focused on the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire. They were all filled with doubt and surprise.
The three clans of Lore City had all participated in the battle at the northern fort, so they obviously recognized the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire. Now that they saw the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire all gathered in Changyang Prefecture and even helped Changyang Prefecture fend off the invaders, they could not help but feel extremely curious. They wondered what the relationship between the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire and Changyang Prefecture was.
However, they did not dare to ask such a question, so they could only keep it to themselves and make wild guesses.
The city lord of Lore City and the three clans were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they each sent a portion of their people to help Changyang Prefecture deal with the aftermath. Although Changyang Prefecture had suffered such a calamity and its entire estate had been destroyed, its prestige had not decreased at all. Instead, it was even greater than before. After all, several peak Heaven Saint Masters had appeared from Changyang Prefecture this time. They had even repelled the experts from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom who outnumbered them.
Suddenly, a streak of azure light shot through the sky. It rapidly flew from the horizon to Changyang Prefecture with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, it arrived above Changyang Prefecture and hovered in the air.
"Another Heaven Saint Master has come. What a fast flying speed."
Many people below noticed the figure in the sky and immediately cried out in surprise. They stared at the sky in bewilderment, not knowing if it was a friend or foe.
The five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire and Chang Wuji's expression changed slightly. They immediately raised their heads to look, a sharp light flashing in their eyes. However, when they saw the appearance of the figure in the sky, they simultaneously revealed a trace of joy.
"The fourth young master has returned!"
"Lord Imperial Protector!"
The azure figure was Jianchen. After two days of non-stop travel, Jianchen had finally returned to Lore City from the Saint Ruler's dwelling.
Jianchen hovered in the air, staring blankly at the scene below. His eyes were filled with disbelief. In just a few short days, Changyang Prefecture had undergone such a great change. The originally grand mansion and continuous buildings had all disappeared, leaving behind only ruins and craters riddled with holes, as well as corpses covered in blood.
"I- is this really Changyang Prefecture? Just what has happened? " Jianchen stared blankly at the scene below as he muttered to himself. The joy he felt from obtaining the skeleton of a Saint Ruler was completely washed away in an instant.
Jianchen's expression quickly darkened. He slowly descended from the sky, landing in the ruins.
Chang Wuji and the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire arrived beside Jianchen at the same time. However, before they could speak, Jianchen spoke first, "Chang Bo, just what has happened here? Why has Changyang Prefecture become like this?" Jianchen's voice was filled with urgency, but his face was filled with confusion. He had just returned, so he had no idea what had happened. Why had Changyang Prefecture become like this?
Chang Wuji let out a long sigh and said, "Fourth young master, ten experts from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom came to Changyang Prefecture with his majesty and Bi Dao. They arrogantly said that they wanted to capture you. In the end, we had a great battle with them in the air, and the shockwaves from the battle have reduced Changyang Prefecture to this."
A powerful killing intent erupted from Jianchen when he heard that. Jianchen's eyes immediately became extremely sharp, as if he was a hungry tiger. It was chilling. The temperature in the surroundings rapidly plummeted, making a few weaker people feel like they had suddenly fallen into a cavern of ice. They could not help but shiver.
"The Heavenly Eagle Kingdom!" Jianchen said through gritted teeth. His knuckles cracked from his clenched fists. This time, the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom had completely infuriated him.
Suddenly, Jianchen seemed to think of something. His face changed slightly, and he asked in a hurry, "Chang Bo, where are my father and mother? Are they alright?"
"The patriarch and the fourth madam are both in the basement. They're only slightly injured," said Chang Wuji.
As soon as Chang Wuji finished speaking, Jian Chen turned into a blur and charged into the basement like a bolt of lightning.
The basement was a hundred meters underground. It was rather dim, but it was very large. Even if it could hold over a thousand people, it would not be crowded at all. There were many rooms in there as well.
When Jianchen entered the basement, he saw a few upper echelon and guards of Changyang Prefecture making their way out with heavy expressions.
"Fourth young master!"
A few of the guards recognized Jian Chen, so they all bowed.
"Where's my mother!?" Jianchen immediately stopped a guard and asked. His gaze was as sharp as a blade, so the guard did not dare to look him in the eye.
"The fourth madam is in the largest room," the guard replied in a rather panicked manner.
Jianchen immediately ran in and arrived in the largest room in the basement very soon. However, it would be more appropriate to describe this room as a cave.
As soon as he entered the room, Jianchen discovered that not only were his parents there, but even his first aunt, Ling Long, second aunt, Yu Fengyan, third aunt, Bai Yushuang, and third brother, Changyang Ke, were all gathered there. They were all in horrible shape. Their clothes were stained with blood, and the fear in their eyes had yet to recede. At the entrance, Ming Dong and Dugu Feng were acting as guards. The three of them only communicated with their eyes when they saw each other. They did not say anything.
"Mother, are you alright?" Jianchen quickly walked over. His face was filled with concern. However, in the next moment, Jianchen's face changed. He stared at the wound on Bi Yuntian's forehead and said with a trembling voice, "Mother, you're injured."
"Xiang'er, I'm fine. Check on Yue 'er quickly. She's very heavily injured." Bi Yuntian did not care about her injuries at all, but she was very concerned about her daughter-in-law.
The princess currently lay on the bed with a pale face. She seemed to be in great pain.
Jian Chen came to the bed and checked the Glen Princess' injuries. His face became rather stern. The Glen Princess' left shoulder had been injured by a piece of rock, and the thumb-sized rock was still lodged in her body. There was also a wound on the left side of her back, which was also caused by a piece of rock. The rock had entered her body and almost injured her heart. It was extremely dangerous. Even her organs had been severely shaken, causing her to bleed internally.
"Xiang'er, I know you have the ability to save Yue 'er. You should quickly save Yue' er. Her injuries are very serious." Bi Yuntian whispered to Jianchen. Her face was filled with worry. She was afraid that something bad would happen to the princess.
Jianchen nodded and said, "The battle outside has stopped. Mother, you should go out and take a look. I'll save You Yue first."
Bi Yuntian and the others did not object. After a few words, they walked out of the basement, leaving only Jianchen and the princess in the room.
"Brother, we'll also go out first." Ming Dong also pulled Jianchen out of the basement. If it was any other time, Ming Dong would definitely use this matter to tease Jianchen. However, with such a thing happening in Changyang Prefecture, Ming Dong did not have the mood to do so.
After everyone left, Jianchen gently closed the door and slowly walked to the bedside. He looked at the princess who was lying on the bed with a complicated expression. The princess had only been in Changyang Prefecture for a few days, but she had already suffered such injuries. This made Jianchen feel very apologetic. He felt that he owed her something.
Although the princess was heavily injured, she was still conscious. Her limpid eyes had a strange luster as she stared at Jianchen nervously. Her pale face also had a faint layer of red, revealing the shyness of a woman. In her heart, while she was afraid, there was also a hint of joy and anticipation.
