Spirit Galaxy, Ning Clan.
In the huge King City, in a palace located in the southeast, a Teleportation Array suddenly opened. Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao, who had been waiting in the palace, were startled. Ning Ji immediately stood up and looked at the person who walked out of the Teleportation Array.
It was naturally Lu An.
"Brother Chu, how's the situation?" Ning Ji immediately asked, "Did you find any fragments?"
Lu An shook his head slightly and said, "I met someone, so I came back first."
Hearing Lu An's words, Ning Ji's heart tightened and he immediately asked, "Who?"
"He didn't say his name and attacked as soon as he came up." Lu An did not say the person's name. After all, he might use this person in the future and did not want others to know his identity. He said, "But his eyes will become a complex polyhedron and there are such patterns on his clothes."
Ning Ji's eyes turned cold when he heard this. He naturally knew the answer and said in a deep voice, "He Clan …"
Jiang Xiao was startled when she heard this. This was the first time she knew about this clan. In the past, she only knew about the Lu Clan and the Wen Clan.
"Did you fight?" Ning Ji quickly asked, "How did you leave?"
"We fought." Lu An said, "He didn't beat me, but I didn't kill him either. I left after defeating him."
Hearing Lu An's words, Ning Ji's eyes lit up and he said, "So you didn't expose your identity? He didn't see your face? "
"No." Lu An said, "I didn't expose my identity."
Hearing Chu Xing's answer, Ning Ji let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't want to expose his intentions at all. It was far from the time. He looked at Lu An and said, "Brother Chu did well. In the future, when I ask Brother Chu for help, don't kill anyone. Otherwise, things will get out of hand."
Lu An nodded slightly and asked, "Do I have to go again?"
"Forget it." Ning Ji shook his head. Naturally, he couldn't let Chu Xing go again. Otherwise, the He Clan might send more people to surround and intercept him. He said, "I was too hasty. Let's put this matter aside for now. In the future, I will ask Brother Chu for help."
Lu An naturally showed an indifferent attitude and walked to the side to sit down. Ning Ji looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "Xiao 'Er, after the battle, I'll be going to the main hall to take a look at the situation. It might be a long time before I return. You can take a walk around."
Hearing Ning Ji's words, Jiang Xiao shook her head gently and said, "I also want to go back to the Jiang family to take a look."
"Alright." Ning Ji was slightly startled, but he immediately agreed. It was normal for him to go back, so he said, "I'll find you when I come back."
Jiang Xiao nodded in agreement, and Ning Ji quickly left. Jiang Xiao and Lu An did not stay in the palace for long. They activated the teleportation array and left.

Spirit Galaxy, Jiang Xing.
Jiang Xiao and Lu An arrived at Planet Jiang first. At this time, more than fifteen minutes had passed since the end of the battle. As the head of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Huai had already settled the wounded and was currently having a meeting with the higher-ups of the Jiang Clan. However, the Jiang Clan only had three Heavenly Kings. Naturally, there were Heaven Realm cultivators among the upper echelons. Jiang Huai's three sons were also present.
Jiang Xiao went straight to the meeting hall with Lu An following behind her. After Jiang Xiao entered the meeting hall, everyone in the room immediately looked at her. However, Jiang Xiao was not interested in the meeting. She only came to tell her family that she was back. She said, "You guys have the meeting first. I'll go take a look at the wounded."
"Wait!" Jiang Huai immediately stopped her. He stood up and walked quickly to his daughter. He walked out of the meeting hall with her and asked her in a low voice in the long corridor outside, "How's the Ning family? Did Ning Ji tell anyone that you guys were in danger? "
Jiang Xiao had already guessed what her father was worried about. After all, Ning Tiancang would definitely be very displeased if this matter were to spread to his ears. She shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Father. He didn't say anything. He also ordered the two guards not to tell anyone."
"Alright." Jiang Huai finally heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he had been worried ever since his daughter and Ning Ji left. Now that he was finally at ease, he said, "Go."
Jiang Xiao left the meeting hall, but Lu An did not enter. Although outsiders did not think much of Jiang Xiao bringing Lu An in, Jiang Xiao knew their true relationship. The meeting of the Jiang family was also confidential and important. She could not let Lu An listen in casually.
"Let's go," Jiang Xiao said to Lu An. "Come with me to visit the injured and the family members of the deceased."
Lu An did not say anything. He just followed behind Jiang Xiao. Jiang Xiao knew where the injured and the corpses were. Naturally, she had to go to the place where the corpses were disposed of and visit the family members of the deceased.
Jiang Xiao quickly skimmed across the royal palace and soon arrived at the palace where the corpses were kept. There were already many corpses here, and many people were crying bitterly.
Lu An looked at the corpses on the ground and then at the people crying bitterly. These people were either the elders of the deceased, the wives and children of the deceased, or the deceased's friends. For the elders, wives, and children, the death of a Heaven Realm expert was equivalent to the death of the entire family. This was something that no amount of compensation could make up for.
However, being able to bring back the corpses might be a blessing in disguise. In the palace, there were still people crying bitterly. However, there were no corpses in front of them. They might be left in the Heavenly Star River forever.
Lu An looked at this scene. On the surface, there was no change in his expression. He was very indifferent. In fact, it was the same in his heart. He did not feel any grief because of the deaths of these people. His heart was very cold.
As the young mistress of the Jiang family, Jiang Xiao went forward to comfort the family members. However, the effect was not obvious. The family members, who were in a state of chaos, could not listen to any words. It could only be said that Jiang Xiao came here to express her attitude. When these people's emotions stabilized, at least one of the three Heavenly Kings would come to visit.
After Jiang Xiao visited every place, it was convenient for Lu An to leave and head to the palace where the injured were taken care of. This palace would not take care of ordinary injured people. However, those who could be cured with elixirs would not be sent here. All the injured people in the palace were seriously injured. They were either life-threatening, or their injuries could never be healed. Some would be permanently disabled, with broken limbs. However, no matter what, the people in this palace were already much better than those who were lying in the palace earlier. This might be a blessing in disguise.
After Jiang Xiao and Lu An visited, Jiang Xiao did not return to her courtyard. Instead, she left the palace and flew over the vast land of the Jiang Star.
After flying for a while, Jiang Xiao stopped. Lu An naturally stopped as well. Jiang Xiao's face was very gloomy. After taking a deep breath, she turned to look at Lu An.
"This is my first time participating in a war, and also my first time visiting the dead and injured." Jiang Xiao said word by word clearly. Her expression was very heavy, "I finally know how cruel war is, and how hateful the enemy is."
Hateful?
Although Lu An did not show anything, his heart was even colder. He did not show any displeasure and only said indifferently, "If we did not start a war and attack the Spirit Star River, no one would have died."
Jiang Xiao was obviously stunned by Lu An's words.
Jiang Xiao immediately wanted to refute, but she was not a childish person. She would think before she spoke, so even if she opened her mouth, she could not say anything.
After a few breaths, Jiang Xiao thought of something and said, "We cannot talk about cause and effect. Although we have been attacking the Heavenly Star River for a million years, don't forget that a million years ago, the people of the Heavenly Star River suddenly barged into our place! If they did not come to disturb us, if it was not the first war a million years ago, would there be so many things happening now? "
Lu An did not want to argue with Jiang Xiao, so he did not say anything and just looked at Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao also looked at Lu An. For a moment, neither of them spoke. They just stood on the desolate star and looked at each other.
However, after a long time, Jiang Xiao took the initiative to speak.
Jiang Xiao looked up and looked at Lu An with her beautiful eyes. She said softly, "I think … you are lying to me."
Lu An was slightly startled and said, "Lying to you about what?"
"Your true motive." Jiang Xiao looked at Lu An and said softly but seriously, "You do not want revenge at all. You have other motives."
