The Divine Capital was the biggest city in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's Jing state.
The Divine Capital was close to the Cloud Wilderness. Years ago, when Yi Yun left the Cloud Wilderness, his first stop was the Divine Capital.
When the airship floated above the Divine Capital, Yi Yun stood by the window and looked down at the bustling city.
He never expected that he would leave the Cloud Wilderness, pass through the Divine Capital, and head towards the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. After a year and a half, he had returned to the Divine Capital, and then passed through the Divine Capital before returning to the Cloud Wilderness.
This was really returning to the past.
The only difference was that Yi Yun's current strength could no longer be compared to the past.
Unfortunately, Yi Yun was helpless against the massive beast horde that could destroy several divine kingdoms.
The airship landed on the Divine Capital's high platform. Such a huge airship was rare even in a bustling city like the Divine Capital. People stopped and looked at the huge airship, feeling a sense of novelty.
The Divine Capital was still a scene of prosperity. It was early in the morning, and Yi Yun could see early morning peddlers shuttling through the streets. He could see shop owners preparing to open their doors. There was an old man with a goatee sitting under a tree, basking in the sun.
More and more Divine Capital citizens walked onto the streets. They were either leisurely or busy as they began their daily lives.
They still did not know of the beast horde's attack.
Not only the Divine Capital, even the Imperial City did not know of this news.
Now, only the Imperial Family, the capital's family clans and many reclusive family clans knew of the beast horde's outbreak.
This news could not be made public, or the world would be in chaos.
The Tai Ah Divine City's hundreds of millions of citizens had no possibility of evacuating. In despair, they might attack the military. They would besiege the government office and the various large cities' teleportation arrays.
When that happened, the citizens would not be able to escape. The Divine Kingdom would also be paralyzed.
Currently, the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom could do anything to stop the beast horde. If they could not stop it, they could only transfer the Divine Kingdom's future hopes, the Divine City's elites, to the Cloud Wilderness.
As for the Divine Kingdom's citizens, they could only ignore them.
"Yi Yun, I'm leaving …"
After the airship landed, Luo Huo 'er said to Yi Yun. She had already received the news from her family branch. She was leaving the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom.
"Have a safe journey." Yi Yun nodded.
"We'll meet again if fate wills it." Luo Huo 'er looked at Yi Yun. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she only said four simple words. Beside her, the maid servant, Dong' er, also stared at Yi Yun with her black eyes.
"Brother Yi Yun, you have to live."
Little Dong 'er said.
"En. I will. "Yi Yun beamed.
The current situation really made him a little sad.
Old friends had left, the country was facing a disaster, and the fate of his seniors was unknown …
…
After Luo Huo 'er left, Yi Yun wandered the streets of the Divine Capital alone. He stepped on the thick limestone pavement and the morning dew. It was still stuck to the bluestone. The moss in the crevices of the rocks was especially green because of this.
These were the bluestones. It was unknown how many people had witnessed, how much prosperity and suffering, how many joys and sorrows, and how many parting and reunions. Each of them was like a thick history book, bearing the long history of the capital city from its founding until now.
However … this kind of history might be cut off in the near future.
The cheerful laughter and beautiful flowers on the streets would no longer exist.
Thinking of this, Yi Yun could not help but sigh.
There were more and more people on the streets. Yi Yun saw an old woman pushing a pancake cart to sell pancakes, and a young girl tiptoeing to choose candied haws.
It was hard to believe that these simple people would become a pile of bones in a few months …
It was a pity that they did not know that a disaster was about to befall them. This was a form of sorrow, the sorrow of all living beings.
"I need to go home. My home is here."
Yi Yun said to the law-enforcer not far behind him.
"Oh?" The law-enforcer was stunned. He never expected the Divine Capital City to be Yi Yun's home. The army had military discipline. At this moment, the order they received was for them to be on standby, or to evacuate the Cloud Wilderness.
If the army dispersed, not only could there be accidents, it could also leak the news.
Originally, the law-enforcer did not want to agree, but with Yi Yun's special status, he thought about it and said, "Go early and come back early. Remember, do not leak the news of the beast horde! This is a military order! "
"I know." Yi Yun nodded. Although he could not bear to see these commoners die in ignorance, it would be useless even if he told them. The Divine City had not abandoned them. Many sages and lords were fighting and sacrificing for them, but most of the time, human strength could not defy the heavens!
"Lord law-enforcer …" Yi Yun hesitated for a moment before saying, "If we are evacuating the Cloud Wilderness, can I bring a few people …"
It was impossible for Yi Yun to abandon Jiang Xiaorou here. There was also Zhou Xiaoke. He could not bear to see that cute little girl end up in the stomach of a desolate beast.
The law-enforcer frowned slightly, "Are the people you are bringing warriors or mortals?"
He had roughly guessed that Yi Yun was most likely bringing his family.
"Mortals."
"Alright …" The law-enforcer was not surprised. Yi Yun was born a commoner, so his family was naturally mortals.
"You can bring them, but … only a few people. You know that it will be troublesome to bring mortals when we evacuate the Cloud Wilderness."
"Alright … Thank you."
Yi Yun thanked him and sped towards the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor.
Since he was about to see Jiang Xiaorou, Yi Yun was eager to return.
Jiang Xiaorou was Yi Yun's only family after coming to this strange world. In the Cloud Wilderness, when Yi Yun was still weak, he and Jiang Xiaorou had each other to rely on during those difficult days.
The Soft Clouds Mountain Manor was about fifty kilometers away from the Divine Capital. Yi Yun arrived in about seven minutes.
Seeing this large manor, it seemed to be even more glamorous than when Yi Yun left.
The red lacquered door, the shiny bronze door nails, and the two mighty stone lions squatting at the door looked very imposing.
"Stop, who is it?"
The two servants guarding the door did not recognize Yi Yun at all. They called out to Yi Yun, but Yi Yun did not respond to them. With a flash of his figure, he went straight into the manor.
The two servants were still standing at the door in a daze, but in an instant, Yi Yun had disappeared. They looked at each other, thinking that they had seen wrongly.
Inside the manor, there were red bricks and green tiles. There were hundred-year-old trees that blocked out the sun, and pavilions that stood in between the mountains and rivers. There were all sorts of landscaping, and it was extremely beautiful.
Yi Yun was not in the mood to look at these. He knew where Jiang Xiaorou lived, so he focused his hearing. Within a hundred meters, Yi Yun could even hear the sound of worms burrowing into the ground.
He quickly locked onto Jiang Xiaorou's location. With a flash of his figure, Yi Yun arrived in an elegant garden.
In this small yard, Yi Yun saw a girl in green holding a flower pot, watering the plants.
Yi Yun recognized at a glance that this girl in green was his elder sister, Jiang Xiaorou.
After not seeing her for a year and a half, with exquisite food and care in the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor, Jiang Xiaorou had become even more slender and elegant. She no longer looked as young and inexperienced as before. Her skin had become smoother and smoother, like fine jade. Her body was full of youthfulness.
"Sis Xiaorou!"
Yi Yun shouted. At this moment, he was filled with emotions. He thought that after he went to the Tai Ah Divine City, he would become a dragon among men and return home in glory. He would give his elder sister the title of a first-grade princess, or a conferred madam. From then on, she would live a peaceful life as a noble lady. If there was a chance, he would get some elixirs for his elder sister, allowing her to cultivate to a certain level of martial arts, allowing her to maintain her youth.
But he never expected that although he had shone in the Tai Ah Divine City, he would not be able to return home in glory. He had returned to the Divine Capital to escape.
Fate really made fools of people.
"Yun … Yun 'er?" Jiang Xiaorou could not believe her eyes when she saw the youth who suddenly appeared. He was half a head taller than her.
Although Yi Yun had grown taller and his body had become more muscular, Jiang Xiaorou could still recognize him at a glance after spending time with him since he was young.
But she could not believe that Yi Yun would suddenly return home. She had not received any news of him.
"It's really Yun 'er!"
Jiang Xiaorou was overjoyed. She threw away the flower pot and walked a few steps towards Yi Yun.
"You've grown taller."
Jiang Xiaorou touched Yi Yun's face. Her eyes were moist. When Yi Yun left, he was not as tall as Jiang Xiaorou. Now, other than his face looking a little childish, he looked like an adult.
To Jiang Xiaorou, she actually did not care how much Yi Yun had achieved, or what realm his martial cultivation had reached. As long as Yi Yun returned safely, she would be very satisfied if she could see Yi Yun more.
"Sis Xiaorou, I have something to tell you." Yi Yun said anxiously.
"What's the matter? What's the rush?" Jiang Xiaorou was a sensitive girl. She was overjoyed by Yi Yun's sudden return. But thinking about it, the Divine City trials had not ended, yet Yi Yun had suddenly crossed millions of miles to return home. There was no news of him previously, so it was unusual.
Now, seeing Yi Yun's expression, it seemed that something had happened. Jiang Xiaorou's expression turned solemn.
"Let's talk inside." Yi Yun held Jiang Xiaorou's hand. Even though they were people from the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor, Yi Yun could not take them all. He could only take a few spots …
