This was the first time the two of them had met one-on-one since the Shadow World.
Back in the Shadow World, the Dong Ling King had warned Li Xiang to think about his relationship with Ming Xu and not let her down.
At the time, Li Xiang was still a small magic user who could not protect himself, but he was not afraid when facing the Dong Ling King, which earned him a good impression.
Now, the two of them had become comrades who fought side by side. The world had changed, and it was hard to predict. It made people sigh.
"How is Bai Shili?" The Dong Ling King's body was wrapped in a large black robe. It was tight, and only a pair of dark eyes could be seen.
Bai King was his lifelong enemy. They had fought many times over the years, and the Dong Ling King had always been one step behind. He had been suppressed until now. The best enemy was also the best friend. He asked about Bai King's situation first, which showed that their relationship was not as tense as the rumors made it out to be.
"The Burning Sky God Kingdom has sent a large group of black knights. Bai … Uncle is preparing to fight a black shadow general. The enemy is at the peak of Level 9." Li Xiang thought about his words and slowly said, "The situation is as bad as here."
"Oh? What is the result of the fight? "The Dong Ling King looked at him. He seemed interested in the result." Can you completely suppress him? "
"When I came, they had just started fighting. I did not have time to see the result." Li Xiang answered honestly. The Dong Ling King was also above Level 9, so he was interested in their fight. It seemed that he had connected Li Xiang to the black shadow general.
The two of them chatted for a while. Li Xiang talked about the Level 8 player he saw in the mist. Hearing his name, the Dong Ling King sighed and told him the whole story.
It turned out that not long after the expansion of the Mist Kingdom, the Level 8 player stationed in Mechanized City was attacked. It was originally a border fortress and did not have much strategic significance. The King of Dong Ling had sent him to assist an old Level 9 player stationed there. This was also to let him gain some experience so that he could be promoted to the core management in the future or take over some important positions in Mechanized City.
However, they did not expect that the old Level 9 coward would be so cowardly. After Mechanized City was surrounded by the fog, he was so afraid of being contaminated that he completely shut off the defense exits!
The Level-8 patrolling soldier and his team were unable to return. They were trapped in the fog and died in the end. The mechanical city was quickly breached by the fog and became the first stronghold to be sacrificed since the start of the war.
The entire city was engulfed by the fog and turned into a ghost town. The warriors who were once stationed there became slaves of the fog and turned around to attack their allies.
Li Xiang sighed. Although he had expected a similar situation to happen, he did not expect it to happen so quickly and so seriously. They had lost a city and a large number of combat forces.
"Level 9 is indeed the top combat force now. After training in the training academy, most of them are qualified for the position of garrison commander. However, there are some old and useless people who do not dare to break through or fight. They only want to live. Such people will definitely be a disaster if they are left alive."
The King of Dong Ling snorted coldly, his face cold.
"Even if they have more power than most people, they do not dare to fight. What is the difference between them and useless people?"
"I understand. I will tell the people in the research institute about this and have them come up with a plan as soon as possible to solve these hidden dangers. This is my dereliction of duty." Li Xiang nodded and sincerely admitted his mistake. He realized that he had thought too simply. He thought that under the pressure of the final catastrophe, everyone would have to raise their weapons to resist. After all, Level 9 players had top-notch combat strength and rich experience. They were more suitable for the position of commander than others.
However, now it seemed that some of the rising stars were not weaker than these previous waves.
If the commander was useless, even if he had the best weapons and equipment and an army, he would still be unable to withstand a single blow.
"This is your problem. I am only responsible for helping you defend Europe." The King of Dong Ling did not comment. "You have seen the situation. This fog is very strange. It has separated all the cities. Fortunately, your mechanical defense measures are enough to resist. Nothing will happen for the time being. Just wait for the next wave of attacks."
"What about the destroyed city? What about the towns below?" Li Xiang asked.
The King of Dong Ling shook his head. "They are also gone. The fog does not differentiate between regions. It can corrode land, sea, and air. However, as long as there is enough player aura, they will stop advancing. They can only continue to invade after breaking through the city. Without the people above, the underground will soon fall."
This was consistent with the information Li Xiang had received.
He told the King of Dong Ling that the fog was Soul Power. The King of Dong Ling was stunned when he heard this. Then, he said calmly, "Soul Power is a matter of your level. I have no access to it. If the enemy has combat power related to Soul Power, I will inform you immediately. Don't worry. As long as the Bride of the Fog appears, I will personally go and fight her. I will not give her a chance to wreak havoc. "
"Got it. Be careful. I will go to the other continents to take a look." Li Xiang did not plan to stay any longer. After seeing the situation, he planned to continue patrolling the other continents.
He was the commander-in-chief. He had to be clear about the characteristics of each Holy Kingdom and the situation of each continent. Only then could he make the most correct judgment and countermeasures.
"Go." The King of Dong Ling waved his hand and disappeared into the endless fog.
His next stop was the Non-Continent, which used to be the third continent. After the Ji family was drained dry by the Black King and then suffered a painful blow from Fei Yujing, this continent was leaderless and became a place of revelry for the dark ones. No one governed it for a long time.
Salimore's Holy Kingdom of Giant Beasts was not so fancy. All that fell were huge skeletons of Cosmic Beasts. Some of these skeletons were even taller than mountains. Under the drive of the power of rules, they gradually recovered. Many of them were filled with new flesh and blood. They were recovering, but the smell of rotting corpses was still pervasive. It was not a true rebirth.
A few Cosmic Beasts had already recovered. When Li Xiang approached, he saw a Sun Chasing Bird soaring into the sky. Its wings spread out, almost covering the sky above its head. It was terrifying.
It barked and swooped down. The ground was torn apart by the vibration, and the dust was stirred up. In an instant, some of the wanderers who were not willing to enter the mechanical city to guard it were all shattered, exploding into clouds of blood mist.
The small town they had built was buried by the sandstorm and dispersed into the air.
The Black King had come to this land after his return. After living in this small world for many years, he had gradually walked out of his demonic state and suddenly realized many things. Now, seeing the new continent and the lifeless Non-Continent, his heart was extremely complicated.
When he was in power, he advocated wolf-like competition and did not pursue the development of civilization. He only wanted warriors who had the strength and knew how to kill. Indeed, in a short time, Non-Continent had surpassed many continents and was famous for producing murderous thugs. However, as time passed, those who only knew how to kill would eventually be eliminated.
Whether it was his family or this continent, under his control, it had become fragmented and no longer had any glory.
This time, the Black King had returned with a trace of atonement, hoping to save this land.
With him as the backbone, the few mechanical cities that were located here were able to operate, and they had some confidence in resisting.
He stood proudly in the air, facing the huge Sunchaser Bird without fear. He suddenly punched out, and the black aura of death broke through the clouds and blasted the Sunchaser Bird into the distance. It was so frightened that it did not dare to continue its charge.
The sky became clear again, and there were still some cosmic beasts crawling up and recovering below. However, he was not afraid. He looked indifferently at the countless corpses and clenched his fists.
Suddenly, two crimson figures rushed out from behind him, one on the left and one on the right. They stood half a step behind the Black King.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa."
They called out at the same time, one cold and one warm, like the cry of a skylark, crisp and pleasant.
Ji Ruoyu and Ji Xiaoyi looked at each other and looked at the Black King's back with mixed feelings.
Many of their important family members had died in the two Holy Arts, turned into essence blood and absorbed by this man. If not for their low strength at that time, they might not have been able to escape.
Even so, they did not really give up on this family.
They hated this man. They hated him for sacrificing the entire family for them. They hated him for being ruthless and never thinking about his descendants. They hated him for not showing up when the family was facing extinction. They hated him for everything.
But no matter how much they hated him, the blood flowing in their veins could not be changed. The passion, the glory brought by the bloodline, and the pride of the past would not fade away.
If possible, they wanted to rebuild the Ji family and make it glorious again.
Some things were rooted in the bones and could not be removed.
"You don't hate me?" The Black King did not look back. When he felt their aura, his body trembled slightly, and there was a rare change in his expression.
He knew these two girls. Their father was once favored by him. He was the famous Gemini of the Ji family's middle generation. If he had cultivated normally, his achievements would have been extraordinary in that era.
It was also the first time the Ji family had the opportunity to catch up to the Bai family.
Unfortunately, under his senseless, wolf-like competitive strategy, this pair of Gemini Stars turned against each other and killed each other.
Ji Zhanxue planned to cripple Ji Shanhan and kill his only son. All of this happened under the Black King's nose, but he thought it was just a case of the winner taking all and did not help.
He watched as Ji Shanhan was crippled, became decadent, and became radical. In the end, he put all his hopes on his daughter, which almost drove Ji Xiaoyi crazy.
Without competitors, Ji Zhanxue's cultivation path was no longer smooth. He was entangled by worldly desires and indulged in beauty and power. In the end, he stagnated at level 6 and could not go any further.
His talent was wasted, and all his resources were lost.
At that time, he still had the ability to save the only pillar of the middle generation, but he still chose to look on coldly. He watched as he fell, lost himself in pursuit of power and beauty.
He was willing to give resources and everything to cultivate, but thought that cultivation was his own path. He did not need others to guide him.
After destroying the seeds of the Ji family time and time again, this family finally went into decline.
On the other hand, in the Bai family, Bai Shili had always been generous in guiding talented descendants. Bai Zhun had even set an example and focused on nurturing their descendants. After generations, the 16 branch families of the Bai family all had talented people. Today, they had become the number one family without a doubt.
The two girls behind them were the Gemini of the last era of the Ji family. However, because of the grudges of their fathers, they hated each other and almost led to the same tragedy.
If it were not for Li Xiang, only one of Ji Xiaoyi and Ji Ruoyu would have survived. The remaining one would most likely become the second Ji Zhanxue.
As their grandfather, he had never helped them in anything. Instead, he had caused their family to be destroyed.
Black King had thought through many things and was willing to bear the resentment of the surviving Ji family. He came here to atone for his sins.
The two of them did not answer for a long time. It would be a lie to say that they did not hate him.
However, other than hatred, there were many other emotions in people. They had also grown up. They were no longer the ignorant little girls. Ji Ruoyu and Fenix's sons were already very old. After becoming a mother, she had become much more mature than before. She focused on her family and was no longer so arrogant and domineering.
Towards this grandfather who was once high and mighty and could not meet, she was more respectful and fearful.
This time, the two of them did not communicate, but they both chose to apply for the most chaotic and weakest non-land support. They wanted to fight side by side with the Black King and restore the glory of the family.
"I understand." The Black King was still standing with his back facing them. "How many people are left in the Ji family now?"
"After that holy battle, there were less than 100 people left, including some members of the branch families. Some of their bloodlines were so thin that they almost had no family blood," Ji Xiaoyi answered truthfully. All these years, she had also tried her best to find the descendants of the Ji family scattered all over the world. The Black King's terrible reputation in the past made them not dare to reveal their identities now.
The Ji family had many enemies. Without the support of the family, once their identities were exposed, what awaited the Ji family would be a bloody siege.
"Yes, do you have any descendants?" The Black King nodded slightly. Because his back was facing them, they could not see his expression. His tone was still indifferent, but Ji Xiaoyi could feel that this old man's emotions were fluctuating.
"I … I'm still alone." Ji Xiaoyi's face flushed red. Due to personal reasons, she had not married yet. She was alone and living in the new Polar night.
Ji Ruoyu chuckled. "I have a son, but he was born to me and an ordinary person. He doesn't have any extraordinary talent. Sister Xiaoyi likes Li Xiang. She's not like us in terms of relationships at all. She's so timid. After so many years, she doesn't even dare to open her mouth. "
"Ruoyu!" Ji Xiaoyi panicked. How could she say something like this in front of the Black King? She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Hearing this, the Black King was stunned for a moment. Then, he let out a hearty laugh.
"Haha, silly girl. We don't have any marriage restrictions. If you like him, just tell him openly and let him know. Although he's not a blockhead, if you don't tell him, he'll pretend that he doesn't know. Don't waste your time. "
Ji Xiaoyi looked at him in a daze. She had never thought that this cold and bloodthirsty old man would give her advice on this kind of thing. At this moment, she suddenly had a strange feeling.
It was as if the person standing in front of her was no longer the all-powerful Black King, but her own grandfather, an ordinary old man.
"I … I know …"
