Du Xing's spirit energy and cultivation were half absorbed, and he had no more energy to fight the holy beast. After being kicked out, he took the chance to leave. His injuries weren't light, so he probably returned to the Nine Heavens instead of staying in the mortal world to recuperate.
The holy beast returned to its original form and lay on Ming Xi's shoulder, begging for praise.
"Ming Yu, do you feel uncomfortable?" Mother Wang looked at Ming Yu, worried about her. After all, she had never met such a strong opponent like Du Xing.
"I don't feel anything wrong." Ming Yu looked at her palm. "Can I pass the absorption ability to Xiaoliu?"
Ming Xi looked at her. "Xiaoliu is still in seclusion. Won't you disturb him if you go to him?"
"Then I'll keep it and give it to him when he comes out," Ming Yu said.
"Why do you only think of Yan Xiaoliu? Am I still your brother?" Ming Xi snorted lightly. It was not that he wanted Ming Yu's spiritual power, but he was a little jealous. His sister was now wholeheartedly thinking of someone else.
He was her real brother!
Ming Yu rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Your spirit energy and cultivation are stronger than Yan Xiaoliu's."
Ye Rou chuckled. "Your brother is jealous. Give him some spiritual power."
"I don't want spirit energy," Ming Xi said unhappily as he tapped Ming Yu's forehead. Ming Xi said in a bad mood, lightly tapping Ming Yu's forehead, "You haven't even married yet, why are you already thinking of others? Other people always think of their parents' families first."
"Brother!" Ming Yu blushed and shouted angrily, "I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Mother Wang looked at her precious grandsons and couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't bad that they could still joke at such a tense time.
"Mother, will Du Xing come back?" Ye Zhen asked Mother Wang in a low voice.
"He's injured, and he knows he's no match for the little monster. He won't come back for a while." Based on her understanding of Du Xing, that should be the case. However, after so many years, she didn't know if Du Xing was still the same person she knew.
However, even if Du Xing didn't come back, the Grand Emperor would.
"Without the permission of a God, will the Grand Emperor be unable to activate the Five Thunder Divine Cauldron?" Ye Zhen asked softly.
"That's true, but …" Madam Wang frowned. "What if he convinces the Supreme Divinity to help him?"
Ye Zhen took a deep breath. "No matter when the Grand Emperor moves against the human continent, Mother, we have to be prepared."
"Xiao Yao, do you already have a plan?" Mother Wang asked.
How could he have any plans? He was just acting according to the situation.
'Most of the people in the human continent are ordinary people, and they're not strong enough to fight with divine weapons. Although there are divine generals and divine weapons left behind by Ah Zhan, their numbers definitely can't compare to the Grand Emperor.' Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "The Grand Emperor only wants to destroy the human continent. We can borrow troops from the Xuantian Continent and the High God Continent …"
Queen Mother of the West gently shook her head. "The martial arts practitioners of the Xuantian Continent and the High God Continent worship the Grand Emperor and see the Nine Heavens as the realm of immortals. Their life goal is to go to the Nine Heavens. If you let those martial arts practitioners deal with the Grand Emperor, aren't they going against their own beliefs? I'm afraid that when the time comes, not only will they not help, but they will also add insult to injury. "
Ye Zhen didn't have such a worry, but she had to give it a try.
"I think that not everyone blindly pursues their beliefs. There will always be people with good intentions and conscience," Ye Zhen said.
"Then what do you plan to do?" Queen Mother of the West asked.
Ye Zhen already had an idea in her mind, but whether it would succeed or not was still unknown.
"Thearch Venerable Shitian and the rest are all in the human continent now. I want Yuxiu and Fire Phoenix to go to the Xuantian Continent and find Ah Zhan first to inform him of the situation here. If it's possible, we can ask the martial arts practitioners of the Xuantian Continent and the High God Continent to help us if they're willing to save the human continent."
"This is indeed the best solution," Queen Mother of the West said.
If Mo Rongzhan could bring back a batch of martial arts practitioners, it would be a great help.
"I'll ask Fire Phoenix to come back now," Ye Zhen said. She had asked Fire Phoenix to send a message to Ye Yiqing, and it should have arrived by now.
Queen Mother of the West said, "Have you considered what will happen if we can't defeat the Grand Emperor?"
Ye Zhen shook her head lightly. "I haven't."
The consequences were too terrifying. The entire human continent would disappear. Her family, her friends, the place she grew up in, and everything else would vanish into thin air. She didn't want to see such a thing happen.
The Grand Emperor wasn't a god, and he couldn't control the death of a race.
Even if they were as weak as mortals, they still had the instinct to survive.
"Yao Yao, we're back." Fire Phoenix's voice came from midair.
Ye Zhen looked up and saw that he had brought Ye Yiqing with him.
"Father, why are you here?" Ye Zhen asked in astonishment.
"I just saw … small monsters turn into monsters. Did something happen?" Ye Yiqing asked in a low voice.
Fire Phoenix didn't wait for Ye Zhen to speak and told her about the commoners wanting to leave the new city. "… They were swallowed by the jellyfish demon and I wasted a pill. Yao Yao, remember to give me a few more."
"…" Ye Zhen didn't expect such a thing to happen. "Father, small monsters won't hurt mortals."
"I know. I've already persuaded them." With the appearance of the jellyfish demon, no one dared to go out to sea. They wanted to hide in their houses for the rest of their lives.
Ye Zhen believed in Ye Yiqing's ability, and with Fire Phoenix around, it wouldn't be a problem.
"Father, you came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you," Ye Zhen said.
"What is it?" Ye Yiqing asked. He had a feeling that something was about to happen, or else there wouldn't be such a huge commotion today.
Ye Zhen looked at Mother Wang and heard her say, "Ming Yu and Ming Xi still need to cultivate. I'll take them into seclusion for a few days. I'll have to trouble you with the rest."
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded immediately. She naturally hoped that Ming Yu and Ming Xi could become stronger so that they could protect themselves and help others.
Ye Zhen and Ye Yiqing went to the hall to talk and called Fire Phoenix in.
"Father, the Grand Emperor wants to destroy the human continent," Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
"Why?" He had heard this from Fire Phoenix, so he wasn't surprised. He just didn't understand.
Ye Zhen told him the reason. "… There's no other way but to protect the human continent. I'll let Fire Phoenix go to the Flame Region to find Ah Zhan. Also, the Hua Nation and the Ning Nation have to make preparations."
"I'll listen to your arrangements," Ye Yiqing said. The entire human continent had no experience in fighting a god.
"Your cannons and flintlocks …" Ye Zhen whispered to Ye Yiqing. "They should be useful at this time. Besides, I want to find the monster beasts. Maybe they can help us." Ye Zhen nodded.
Ye Yiqing looked at his daughter in shock. "The demon beasts will help us?"
"I don't know, but I have to try," Ye Zhen said with a bitter smile.
Destroying the human continent wouldn't benefit the demon beasts.
