After another seven days, the news that the current king, Liu Jiuguang, was imprisoned spread throughout Gu Juan Country. At this point, Liu Jiuguang and Fang Yan's collusion was made public, which made everyone in Gu Juan Country despise them.
The matter was far more than that, there were many officials involved, but for the stability of Gu Juan Country, Shao Qingde did not pursue it too much. At least not now, he had to pursue it bit by bit. However, the country could not be without a ruler for a day. Of the three children of the former king, only Liu Li was left, so Shao Qingde immediately sent people to bring Liu Li back.
Not only that, Liu Jiuyang's widow and children who were exiled also sent people to find their whereabouts. When Liu Li learned that Liu Jiuguang and others were imprisoned, she showed a rare smile. Everyone in the Lapis Lazuli Palace knew that after Lu An's incident, Liu Li was almost decadent and did not go out all day and night.
Three days later, Liu Li returned to Gu Juan Country with Yan Dingjiang and entered the palace. When Shao Qingde saw Yan Dingjiang, he was stunned. After all, Yan Dingjiang was also his Junior Brother, and Yan Dingjiang did not hate Shao Qingde. After telling him about what happened that year, Shao Qingde was furious.
However, Liu Li would not forgive him and never gave him a good look. Shao Qingde still had a confused look on his face. When Yan Dingjiang explained the cause of the matter, Shao Qingde couldn't help but smile bitterly and say, "Lu An isn't dead. He's just locked up in the Holy Land's prison. He's doing well."
Hearing these words, Liu Li's dim eyes immediately lit up. She grabbed Shao Qingde's clothes and asked excitedly, "Is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true." Shao Qingde smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I was wrong to attack the two of you that day. Now that the truth is out, I will release him."
"I'll go with you!" Liu Li said quickly. Shao Qingde originally wanted Liu Li to preside over the overall situation here, but seeing Liu Li's anxious look, it was impossible for her to calm down, so he had to nod and agree.
Soon, the two came to the Holy Land through the transmission array. Through the transmission array, they entered the prison where Lu An was imprisoned. When the two entered the center of the mountain, they saw Lu An sitting in the center with only a small pile of flames burning beside him.
Lu An naturally sensed that someone had arrived. At this moment, he had already been imprisoned here for a total of seventeen days. He did not know whether it was day or night. This was Lu An's temperament. If it were someone else, they would probably be driven crazy.
However, when Lu An saw Liu Li, he was stunned. When Liu Li saw him, she quickly rushed over. Lu An was shocked. He was afraid that Liu Li would touch the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame and extinguish it. Suddenly, the entire space turned black.
Shao Qingde was stunned. He didn't know what Lu An was going to do. He raised his flame and saw Liu Li stop in front of Lu An. She wanted to throw herself into Lu An's arms, but was stopped by Lu An.
Lu An frowned slightly. He thought that Liu Li had also been captured by Shao Qingde, but when he saw that there was no hostility on Shao Qingde's face, he could not help but ask, "Sect Master Shao, how is the investigation going?"
"The truth is out," Shao Qingde said with a smile. "I was wrong about you."
Lu An heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. He relaxed his brows and asked, "Can I go now?"
"Young Hero Lu has done a good deed. Naturally, you can go now," Shao Qingde said with a smile. "However, if you really don't want to consider joining the Holy Land, with what you have done, everyone in Gu Juan Country will be grateful to you."
"I didn't do anything." Lu An shook his head and refused, "I was only paid to do this. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
After saying this, Lu An jumped into the teleportation array above. Shao Qingde and Liu Li were both stunned. The two of them immediately went in.
The three of them appeared in the Holy Land palace one after another. This was the first time Lu An saw light after seventeen days. Seeing the dazzling sunlight, Lu An squinted slightly and walked straight out of the door.
After Shao Qingde appeared, he suddenly realized something. He asked Lu An who was walking away, "You broke through?"
Lu An paused and turned to look at Shao Qingde. He said, "Late Level Five."
"…"
That's right, just ten days ago, Lu An successfully entered Late Level Five. However, Shao Qingde was speechless. He did not expect this kid to not be driven crazy in that kind of prison and still have the mood to cultivate. He was not a normal person!
At this time, Liu Li rushed in front of Lu An and asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"
"I don't know." Lu An looked at Liu Li and said, "Find a place to cultivate quietly."
"How about in Gu Juan Country!" Liu Li quickly said, "In the palace or in the Holy Land, I promise that no one will disturb you. Moreover, I will give you whatever you want!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess." Lu An looked at Liu Li and said softly, "I want to cultivate alone."
"…" Liu Li's face stiffened and her eyes turned red. She said, "Are you angry with me?"
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. Then, he guessed that Liu Li was talking about how he almost died because of Tri-Continent City's disobedience. He shook his head and said, "At first, I was a little angry. However, since I didn't die and it has been so long, there is nothing to be angry about. Moreover, after this incident, I took the two Heavenly Techniques. My conscience is clear. "
Hearing Lu An's words, although Liu Li's anxiety was relieved, she was still anxious to the point of crying. She said, "Then I beg you, please don't go, okay?"
Looking at Liu Li's appearance, Lu An took a deep breath and said, "Princess, I have my own home and I have my own things to do. I only passed by here to cultivate. If I have disturbed you, please forgive me. "
After saying this, Lu An cupped his hands and did not say another word. He turned around and walked around Liu Li and left the palace.
Only Liu Li was left standing alone in the middle of the palace. Shao Qingde was also left standing in the distance, not knowing what to say.

A month later, Dahuang City.
After leaving the Sacred Land, Lu An came to Tri-Continent City through the magic array and re-entered the Shikukan Desert. He went straight to the Grand Wilderness City and found a secluded corner to cultivate quietly. It had been more than 20 days since he had started cultivating.
Originally, he wanted to go to another country to cultivate. However, after experiencing Liu Li's incident, he felt that it was better for him not to go anywhere. He locked himself in the secret room below the house. Before he became a Level 6 Heavenly Master, he did not want to go anywhere.
It was summer now. The scorching sun in the sky made the entire desert hotter and drier. Every year, this season was the most difficult time for the desert to survive. However, after the Glazed Tile Palace, this situation changed.
Liu Li inherited the throne and became the first Queen of Gu Juan Guo. As the Queen, she naturally could not be the Palace Master of the Glazed Tile Palace. This would arouse the suspicion of other countries. This position was handed over to Yan Dingjiang. Yan Dingjiang did not return to the Sacred Land. After being away for so many years, he could no longer adapt to life in the Sacred Land. Moreover, every time he went to the Sacred Land, he would be reminded of unhappy things.
In order to solve the problem of water shortage, the Glazed Tile Palace cooperated with several surrounding countries to provide water. The advantage was that they would open up trade routes for people from several countries to communicate. In the past, the desert was a forbidden area. No merchants dared to cross it. This caused them to take a long detour. Now that the Glazed Tile Palace was acting as a guarantor, many problems were solved.
This was a great thing for the desert. However, over time, there was one thing that Lu An did not understand. Why would a Shikukan Desert suddenly appear in a country that was surrounded by lush green waters and mountains?
If it was because of the climate, the Shikukan Desert was not high. There were no conditions or reasons for it to become a desert. Moreover, even if it was a desert, there should be desert plants growing there. There should also be a little oasis. However, he had never seen one.
This matter made Lu An very puzzled. He asked many people who had lived in the Grand Desolate City for a long time, but they could not give him an explanation. However, some people said that according to records, a long, long time ago, this place was indeed not a desert. Moreover, there was once a very powerful country that built its capital here. However, this was just a legend. There was no actual evidence.
Lu An was skeptical and had been sitting cross-legged in the basement of the house to cultivate. Originally, he wanted to continue cultivating like this without doing anything. However, all of a sudden, everything changed. Just seven days later.
On the night of the seventh day, Lu An, who was underground, chose to go deeper underground in order to cultivate the level-seven heaven technique, Shocking Fire. He did not want the people on the surface of the Grand Desolate City to notice anything amiss. With his current strength, it was not difficult for him to go deep underground. In addition, the level-seven heaven technique was very powerful. Lu An directly dug a distance of nearly two hundred feet underground before stopping. He also created a huge space that was enough for him to release Shocking Fire.
Boom!
The Nine Heavens Sacred Fire burned fiercely and instantly filled the entire space. The walls of the entire space burned. Lu An, who was in the middle of the flames, crossed his arms in front of his chest, ready to change the shape of the flames.
However, just as he was about to do it, the soil under his feet suddenly collapsed. A sense of weightlessness came over him. Lu An, who was concentrating on accumulating power, could not control his body for a moment. He actually fell directly from the collapse!
Bang!
The huge rock made a dull sound of collision. Lu An changed his body during the long fall and landed steadily on the ground. Then, he suddenly raised his head and looked around. He thought that this might be an underground river. When he raised the flames and saw everything clearly, his body suddenly trembled!
This wasn't an underground river, but an incomparably huge … Underground City!
