Chapter 662

Azurewater City, which was backed by Lake Isabella, was currently the largest refugee city in the world.

Azurewater City, which was originally a large trading city, had expanded a lot due to the large number of refugees moving in. However, due to the scarcity of building materials, the expanded area at the edge of the city was similar to the slums. Therefore, if one looked down from the sky, the gray area at the edge of the city, which was far larger than the main city area, looked like a spreading mold...

In the center of the main city, the building that was originally used as a clock tower had now been expanded into a small castle. White light overflowed from the highest point of the castle, forming a hemispherical shield above the city to protect the residents in the refugee city from the black snow that constantly fell from the sky.

In the room of the steeple, there was a durian-sized ball hanging from the ceiling, and a silver-haired girl was kneeling on the floor below the ball. Her head was lowered, and her fingers were clasped together in a praying posture.

Holy light flowed from her body, and her appearance could not help but make people think of words such as' angel 'and' goddess'.

Holy Power was discovered only two years ago. It was a power similar to magic.

After the mutation, holy power was also proven to be one of the few powers that could resist the black snow.

"Ms. Xia, it's time to change shifts."

A few people wearing white cloaks walked up the stairs at the edge of the room. Anyone who knew about the new church would know that the patterns on the white cloaks meant that they were bishops of the new church who had mastered powerful holy power (the old church had collapsed three years ago).

This was the core of the refugee city, and the ancient magic core above the room would spread holy power to form a barrier that protected the city. Without this, the Blue Water City would soon become a living hell in the outside world.

The girl was naturally Xia Xueyao who had transmigrated with Yi Qing.

After her Holy Power was discovered, it was quickly determined that she possessed a gift of Holy Power that no one in this world could hope to attain. Usually, it would require thirty-two bishops to squeeze into this small room and pray together in order to achieve this effect, but she could do it alone. Even the strength of the barrier alone was far stronger than when there were thirty-two of them.

However, she was still a human after all, and it was impossible for her to maintain the barrier without rest, so it was necessary for her to change shifts.

"Alright." Xia Xueyao stood up from the ground, her face showing signs of fatigue. She patted the dust off the edge of her dress and was about to leave the room.

However, as she walked towards the stairs, she seemed to have thought of something and stopped in her tracks. She asked the leader of the bishops, "Right, Yi Qing and the rest should be back by now, right?"

The bishop's face froze, as if he did not know how to answer her.

Although Xia Xueyao looked like she did not say anything, she was actually quite sensitive and instantly realized what had happened.

She did not make things difficult for him, but turned around and quickly ran towards the stairs.

"Madam Xia … Go to Her Royal Highness's mansion, you should be able to understand what happened there." The bishop finally could not stand the criticism in his heart and said to the girl.

The latter only nodded and disappeared down the stairs.

☆

Because the capital had fallen, the royal family of the Frosthawk Empire could only move to Jade Water City. Although that was the case, in reality, the only royal family member who had survived was the eldest princess.

However, Her Royal Highness did not build a luxurious building at such a difficult time for the sake of the royal family's reputation. She only requisitioned a wealthy merchant's villa near the city center as her own mansion.

When Xia Xueyao arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, she found that Lin Qianxi and the eldest princess were talking about something. Both of their expressions were a little heavy and gloomy. It seemed that the content of the conversation was not pleasant.

"Lin Qianxi!" After all, they had been together for three years, and the degree of familiarity between the three of them did not require the suffix 'classmate' behind their names.

Xia Xueyao went straight to the point and asked, "Where is Yi Qing? Didn't he lead the team to search for supplies with you today? "

Lin Qianxi's face darkened visibly, and she bit her lips tightly, unable to say anything.

Xia Xueyao's expression was serious, and she stared at her without saying a word.

After a long while, Lin Qianxi seemed to use all her strength to squeeze out a sentence from her throat, "We encountered the Spirit of Chaos … In order to protect us …"

Although she could not continue in the end, Xia Xueyao already understood what she was going to say.

The blood on the girl's face suddenly disappeared, and she became pale.

She looked deeply at Lin Qianxi, her eyes full of disappointment, and then ran to the door without looking back.

"Wait a minute, Miss Xia, where are you going!"

The Frost Eagle Empire's Princess Royal asked anxiously.

"To save Yi Qing."

"Please don't be so impulsive … I will immediately prepare a rescue plan for Mr. Yi Qing. As a precious clergyman, for your own safety, Miss Xia should stay in the safe Blue Water City and wait for news."

The Princess Royal hurriedly tried to stop her.

To be honest, the Princess Royal felt that the possibility of Yi Qing's survival was very small.

After all, those monsters, also known as the Spirit of Chaos, could not be killed. Therefore, when facing them, it was the right choice to lure them to a more complicated terrain, and then escape from the pursuit.

But according to Lin Qianxi's previous description, it was almost impossible to escape from dozens of Spirit of Chaos, and several of them were at stage III. The only thing Yi Qing could do was to try his best to stall them.

And he had not returned to Blue Water City until now, which also showed this point.

No matter how powerful a warrior was, his physical strength and energy were limited. Sooner or later, he would show weakness due to exhaustion and finally be killed. The fall of countless strong people in the early days of the cataclysm had proved this point, even if Yi Qing was a hero from another world.

Since that was the case, he should at least protect Xia Xueyao, who was very important to Blue Water City.

— Her Royal Highness was not indifferent to Yi Qing's life. In fact, when Yi Qing helped Finn stop the war between the humans and the demons three years ago, she had secretly fallen in love with this man from another world.

But she was the royal family of the Frosty Eagle Empire and the current supreme leader of Blue Water City.

Her every word and action was related to the lives of more than 300,000 people in Blue Water City, so when she made decisions, she had to try her best not to mix personal feelings, so sometimes she seemed even more ruthless.

"Your Royal Highness … No, perhaps now I should call you Your Majesty. You seem to have made a mistake. " Xia Xueyao finally stopped, but she did not turn around. Instead, she said in a rare, cold tone, "I will stay here, not because of how well you treat me, or how many people I can protect and save here, but simply because Yi Qing is here."

The other two girls in the room looked at each other silently.

"Then, now that Yi Qing is not here, I will naturally not continue to stay here." Xia Xueyao had no intention of caring about his feelings. She continued, "For me now, what's important isn't whether it's too late or not, but whether I can save him or not."

After saying that, the girl took another step forward.

"Wait!" The Eldest Princess loudly shouted and her eyes became sharp, "This princess will not let young miss Xia send you to your death! Even if I have to use force, I will make you stay! Guards! "

As soon as her voice fell, several heavily armed guards rushed in from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, you can't possibly think that these people can stop me, right?"

Xia Xueyao's tone became even colder.

Even if she was the weakest of the three people in Yi Qing's group, after nearly three years of experience, Xia Xueyao's strength could be regarded as one of the top in this world. Not to mention a few soldiers, even if she pulled out an army of ten thousand people to practice with, it was not certain who would lose and who would win.

"I naturally don't think that a few ordinary people will be Miss Xia's opponent, so …" Her eyes fell on Lin Qianxi, "I ask Miss Lin Qianxi to make a move and stop Miss Xia from leaving here … I believe you also don't want to see your friends die in vain in the hands of the Spirit of Chaos, right?"

As soon as she said this, Xia Xueyao, who seemed to be a little careless, immediately became serious. She turned and stared at Lin Qianxi, and holy power invisible to the naked eye rose from her body.

It was true that Xia Xueyao was now quite powerful, but in terms of combat power, she was still the weakest among the three people. Once Lin Qianxi became serious, it would not be easy for her to leave here.

Lin Qianxi's expression was slightly sluggish, then she raised her hand towards Xia Xueyao.

In the next moment, the soldiers behind Xia Xueyao were all sent flying by an invisible force and fell to the ground unconscious.

"Miss Lin Qianxi?!" The Princess Royal was stunned and then looked at the initiator.

At this time, the expression on Lin Qianxi's face seemed to have figured something out, and it was filled with a feeling of enlightenment, "Yes, I almost forgot my original intention. Xueyao, let's go save Yi Qing together! "

"Worthy of being my eternal opponent."

Xia Xueyao showed a rare smile.

"You … are you all crazy!" The Princess Royal couldn't help shouting angrily.

But Xia Xueyao and Lin Qianxi ignored her.

At this moment, an ear-piercing alarm sounded from outside.

Along with the alarm, there was a heart-wrenching scream from the lookout who was monitoring the outside situation through the lookout magic.

"Be careful! There is a black cigar-shaped thing coming down the mountain! "
