Eight days later!
Everyone's ship finally arrived at the exit of the fourth floor of the Nine Heavens Pagoda.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that there was already someone waiting at the exit, who was sent by Emperor Cheng today.
"See Your Highness the Crown Prince! You are finally back, and your subordinates have been waiting here for eleven days." The visitor was dressed as a palace guard, and when he saw Shan Xiuxie, he immediately rushed forward with a very anxious look on his face.
Shan Xiuxie, who was still joking with Chu Ye and the others, couldn't help but his face changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "Li Huwei? You are not by Father's side, what are you doing here waiting for me? Could it be that something happened in the palace? "
"Back to His Royal Highness, when I left the palace, everything in the palace was fine, but after eleven days, my subordinates dare not speak nonsense." The guard Li hurriedly reported: "Fifteen days ago, the Northern Kingdom suddenly mobilized the whole country to attack Our country, ordinarily with our military strength, is not afraid of them, but I don't know when and where they invited a group of innate strong men to help them, and they attacked all the way, unstoppable. In just three or four days, our country lost seven or eight cities. Now... 10 One day has passed, I am afraid that they have already killed the capital of our country, His Royal Highness..."
At the end, Li Huwei was crying in pain.
The country is about to fall, and anyone with a little patriotism will be outraged. What's more, as the personal guard of Emperor Cheng, he has been valued and supported by the royal family all his life.
If it weren't for the vastness of the Nine Heavens Pagoda, and the ocean world on the fourth floor, it would be difficult to find someone, and he wouldn't have had to wait here helplessly for a full eleven days.
"What?" Hearing this, Chu Ye, Lanxi Liuhua, Huancheng and others all turned pale with shock.
If the country is broken, the family also perishes.
Their families are still in Kyoto!
Shan Xiuxie couldn't accept this sudden blow for a while, he swayed slightly, grabbed Li Huwei's shoulders, his expression was unprecedentedly serious, "Is this true?"
In fact, Li Huwei was the most favored and trusted bodyguard in front of Emperor Cheng. When he saw him, Shan Xiuxie had almost no doubts.
It's just that he has only been away from the country for more than a month, just over a month, and his country is almost destroyed. How dare he believe this as a prince
"This subordinate has absolutely no false words. There is also a letter written by the emperor here, please look over it." Li Huwei quickly took out the imperial edict that he had almost forgotten from his arms, and handed it over.
Shan Xiuxie snatched it away, opened it, and there were only four simple words: "The emperor returns soon!"
Although the name of the person who left the pen was not specified, Shan Xiuxie could tell at a glance that it was his father's handwriting, and it was a little more messy and cursive than usual, so it can be seen that Emperor Cheng was writing these four characters At that time, the situation in the country was already very bad.
"Father..." Shan Xiuxie whispered in pain, then raised his head, his eyes were already cold and stern, he flicked his wide sleeves fiercely, looked ahead, and his words clanged loudly: "Whoever dares to invade our country and bully our people, Kill Unforgiven! Let's go back to our country!"
At this moment, he was no longer the jovial smiling face he usually is, who likes to pretend to be handsome and rogue. At this moment, his whole body exuded the awe-inspiring arrogance of being the king of a country.
Undoubtedly, Chu Ye and others did not hesitate to advance and retreat with Shan Xiuxie.
Everyone entered the space teleportation array and went down to the first floor, but there were tens of minutes before the gate of the tower opened at 8:90 in the morning, and they couldn't get out of the tower immediately.
And Chu Ye took advantage of these tens of minutes to ask the guard Li about the battle situation between the two countries—
Fifteen days ago, the Northern Kingdom suddenly launched a war against the Eastern Kingdom with all the soldiers of the whole country, and twenty-five innately strong men accompanied the army.
Although the innately strong cannot violate the rules of heaven and earth and wantonly kill wizards, fighters and ordinary people below the tenth level, they can do it to tenth-level wizards and fighters.
During the four days of fighting, five tenth-level wizards and three tenth-level fighters on the front line of the Eastern Kingdom were all killed.
In addition, these innate powers cast protective barriers on every soldier in the northern kingdom. The protective barriers cast by the innate strong men can only be broken by innate wizards and fighters. In this way, their soldiers in the northern kingdom Almost all of them became immortal, not to mention the swords and guns of ordinary soldiers, even their helplessness and fighting spirit couldn't hurt them at all.
Without any suspense, this war has almost become a one-sided massacre.
Dongguo had almost no power to resist, and could only retreat steadily after being killed, losing one city after another.
Counting the days, it is absolutely not alarmist to say that the Northern Kingdom has reached the capital.
With Dongguo reduced to such a degree, everyone will naturally think of the patron saint of Dongguo: the most powerful person in Dongguo, Caroline.
But if you don’t ask, you don’t know. When you ask, everyone’s hearts are even more suspended.
It turned out that among the twenty-five innate powerhouses who came with the army this time from the Northern Kingdom, there were actually two high-level witch immortals who were only one step away from becoming gods.
Caroline was one against two, and was entangled by them, so she couldn't separate herself and take care of others.
Before Guard Li came, Caroline had fought with these two for four days and four nights, without sleeping or resting, eating or drinking, but she didn't know how the outcome would be at this time
Thinking that even Caroline was bound like this, Chu Ye and the others became more and more anxious.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got out of the Jiuzhongtian Pagoda, he learned that the space transmission from the Jiuzhongtian Pagoda to the East Kingdom had already been destroyed by order.
In fact, this is a necessary move.
In times of peace, the space teleportation array can send people directly to Kyoto in the Eastern Kingdom, which is convenient and time-saving.
But now, when the war broke out, if this space teleportation array fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be very bad.
However, the destruction of the teleportation array also cut off the way for Chu Ye, Shan Xiuxie and others to return to Beijing.
Fortunately, at this time, there was Xiaoyin and Xiaojin who became gods.
The speed of the beast is so fast that it can be described as a lightning flash.
In addition, Xiaoyin and Xiaojin wanted to speed up their journey. It took half a year for ordinary people to travel, but they only took two hours to send Chu Ye, Shan Xiuxie and others to Biancheng, the imperial capital.
Standing high above the imperial capital, Chu Ye and the others had a general overview of the situation in the imperial capital at a glance.
The situation was as everyone expected, it was extremely bad, the millions of soldiers from the Northern Kingdom had already reached the imperial capital, and the city walls were crowded with people, all of them were soldiers from the two countries fighting.
The scene was extremely intense, bloody and cruel.
But nine out of ten of those who died were soldiers from the Eastern Kingdom.
Because all the northerners have innate barriers.
There were no innate strong men on the city wall. I don't know if they thought the victory was already decided and they were not in a hurry to do it themselves, or they had already gone elsewhere.
"Damn it!" Shan Xiuxie let out a low growl, his eyes bloodshot instantly, like an angry leopard rushing into the battle.
"Xiu Xie..." Chu Ye exclaimed, but he also knew that nothing she said could persuade him right now, so he could only assign tasks to the people around him, "Shen Zhu, Qi Ye, hurry up and follow Xiu Xie, they are the princes of the Eastern Kingdom. , this joining the battle will inevitably attract the siege of the northerners, you must protect his life; Grandpa Huanjing, Huancheng, you two break the innate barrier on the northerners as quickly as possible, and then stay behind On the battlefield, prevent other innate powers from appearing to disrupt the situation. Of course, if you have time, we will also cast innate barriers on the soldiers of the Eastern Kingdom; Liuhua, you and I, as well as Xiaoyin and Xiaojin, go to the palace quickly , Those so-called innate strongmen have probably broken through the defense line and went to the palace."
"Okay!" Everyone had no objection.
At this moment, only such division of labor and cooperation can play a big role.
"Everyone, be careful!" Chu Ye reminded again, and transformed into four light chains with Lanxi Liuhua, Xiaoyin, and Xiaojin, piercing the sky in an instant, and flashing into the imperial capital Biancheng.
After a while, they arrived at the palace.
Since the army of the Northern Kingdom had already approached the imperial capital, the first family of the Eastern Kingdom, the Boling family, the third family, the Lanxiliu family, and other powerful families in the imperial capital all mobilized and gathered in the imperial palace.
First, it can protect Emperor Cheng who is the lord of a country.
Secondly, when all the forces are brought together, their strength will naturally increase instantly, which will naturally be more conducive to their survival.
As a result, there were as many as 20,000 to 30,000 people gathered inside and outside the entire palace.
But even so, it failed to deter the invaders.
The battle in the palace was as expected by Chu Ye, and it was more tragic and violent than that on the city wall of Bian City.
Because, outside the city, it is just a battle between ordinary soldiers and ordinary wizards and fighters, but in the palace, it is a duel between real heavyweights.
Of the twenty-five innate powerhouses in the Northern Kingdom, twenty-three are here, and there are forty or fifty tenth-level wizards and fighters among them.
Those innately strong, only select the tenth-level wizards of the Eastern Kingdom as their killers, and those tenth-level wizards and fighters only select the ninth-level or lower wizards and fighters of the Eastern Kingdom. The situation is basically one-sided.
20,000 to 30,000 wizards and fighters were killed by less than a hundred of them, screaming, stumps flying, blood splattering, even the ruined walls of the magnificent imperial palace collapsed and dust flew up.
In the sky, Chu Ye saw at a glance the Emperor Cheng in a bright yellow dragon robe, standing in front of the Taiqing Hall protected by dozens of wizards, and a few feet in front of him, a man in a black robe with naked eyes all over his body. The man with cold air, skin as white as paper, but extremely handsome facial features is using his own strength to build a circular innate water barrier to protect Chengdi and others.
In the middle of the sky, each of the eight innate powerhouses of the Northern Kingdom was occupying one side, and they were exerting all their strength to break the barrier.
It was obvious that they had maintained this posture for a long time, and the man in black robe was one against eight, quite impressive.
But it was obvious that he was overdrawn, a little physically exhausted, the ten fingers that conveyed the witchcraft were already trembling slightly, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, which set off his already pale cheeks even more without a trace of blood.
"Jingshan, how are you?" Emperor Cheng couldn't help asking worriedly.
The black-robed man called Jingshan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm dying, I don't know how Lin'er is doing now..."
As he said that, he raised his head slightly, looked at the sky through the transparent innate barrier, his blurred eyes seemed to see through the clouds and mist in the sky, until he saw the "Lin'er" in his mouth.
But "Lin'er" didn't see it, but saw four starlights piercing the sky and coming directly from him.
"Could it be that four more innates have come from the northern kingdom?" The black-robed man couldn't help feeling a little desperate.
For 15 days, he has been fighting non-stop for 15 days, no matter how powerful he is, he can no longer withstand the siege of dozens of innates.
However, this time, he guessed wrong.
Because the ones who fell from the sky were none other than Chuye, Lanxi Liuhua, Xiaoyin and Xiaojin.
"Go to hell!" Chu Ye yelled coldly, and with a burst of flame dance in the air, one of the middle-level innate witch saints was directly blasted away.
At the same time, Lanxi Liuhua also used a trick of freezing three feet, directly freezing a tenth-level innate witch saint who was closest to him into an ice sculpture, and then fell straight to the ground with a bang, shattering into ice slag.
Little Silver and Little Jin were even more powerful, instantly revealing their divine beasts themselves, and beat the remaining innate witch saints and witch immortals into cripples, and then trampled them alive into flat cakes.
"Who are you...?" The black-robed man still looked alert, and still gritted his teeth to support the innate barrier protecting Emperor Cheng.
"Jingshan, I know them, they won't hurt me, you should take a rest." Emperor Cheng was overjoyed when he saw Chuye and Lanxi Liuhua, it seemed that his son Shan Xiuxie had also returned.
Hearing this, the black-robed man couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and as soon as he relaxed, his body, which had been strenuous for a long time, fell limply to the ground like a deflated ball.
Chu Ye stretched out his hand, and already cast a soft water chain to support his fallen body.
The black-robed man opened his eyes weakly, looked at Chu Ye, and said in a low voice: "Quick... save... Lin'er..."
Before finishing speaking, the whole person passed out.
He was really overdrawn, because Chu Ye could no longer feel a trace of witchcraft in his body, and it was unbelievable that he could last until now before he fainted.
"Jingshan..." Emperor Cheng cried out worriedly, and hurriedly asked those who were close to protect him who could not heal the man in black.
At this time, Chu Ye didn't care to talk about the etiquette of emperors and ministers to Emperor Cheng, and directly asked the question in his heart: "Emperor Cheng, who is the 'Lin'er' who he just said he wanted us to save?"
"It's Lin'er..." Emperor Cheng replied sadly, "...Caroline".
"What, master? What happened to her, master?"
When Chu Ye heard that the "Lin'er" in the mouth of the black-robed man turned out to be "Caroline", he was shocked.
In my impression, Caroline didn't have any flower protectors by her side.
Of course, it is also related to Caroline's being too powerful, and there may be other reasons, but she doesn't know it.
And the black-robed man in front of him dared to call Caroline, who is the goddess of the Eastern Kingdom, Lin'er so intimately. It seems that the relationship between the two of them must not be simple.
"Caroline and the two peak senior wizards left the ground 15 days ago to duel at a height of 10,000 meters. It has been 15 days since she came down, and the two peak senior Wu Xian didn't see her, and I don't know what's going on now, Chu Ye, you should think of a way." When it came to Caroline, Emperor Cheng was really anxious.
Nothing can happen to Caroline, no!
She is the goddess in his heart, she can't die, no!
When Chu Ye heard this, his expression became serious, and he immediately said to Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin beside him: "Xiao Yin, Xiao Jin, you should immediately look for my master Caroline with your spiritual sense. Be quick, I won't let my master get into trouble, please!" .”
As for Caroline's strength, Chu Ye has always been in a haze. She doesn't know how strong her real strength is. She only knows that Caroline is the most powerful person she has ever seen. She even went to the Nine Heavens Tower The eighth, ninth, and even God Realm.
Chuye once suspected that Caroline had become a god. After all, to go to the God Realm, one's own strength must reach the level of a witch god.
However, I heard from Guard Li in the Nine Heavens Pagoda that two peak senior innate wizards had entangled Caroline. It can be seen that her guess was wrong.
Although the peak high-level innate witch fairy is powerful and only one step away from becoming a god, he is not a god after all.
But if Caroline is not a witch god, then she should also be a peak high-level innate witch fairy. In this way, at the same level, if she is one against two, it will be very bad luck.
However, Chu Ye is now a high-level innate witch saint, and he is still several grades away from the peak senior innate witch fairy. If he goes there, he will not be able to help, but will drag Caroline down. Therefore, the only way to save the teacher is to Entrusted to Xiaoyin and Xiaojin.
"Master (sister), don't worry, we'll go right away." Xiaoyin and Xiaojin replied in unison, before the words fell, the two of them disappeared in a flash.
"They... are all your blood contract monsters?" Chengdi couldn't help but stare when he saw the speed of Xiaoyin and Xiaojin.
Such a fast speed was the only one he had ever seen in his life. It seemed that even Caroline didn't have such a fast speed.
"Probably." Chu Ye nodded vaguely, she really didn't have the heart to answer any questions right now.
He turned around and held Lanxi Liuhua's hand beside him, and said anxiously: "Liuhua, I want to go home and have a look. I don't know what happened to my mother, Aunt Du, and Uncle Jue Huan. I'm really worried. Go and have a look and come back right away, you can stay and protect Emperor Cheng."
"Ye'er, I'd better go with you. There are many innate experts out there, so I don't worry about you being alone." Lan Xi Liuhua clenched Chu Ye's hand tightly, eyes full of worry.
"I won't be again, don't you know my fighting power?" Chu Ye leaned close to Lanxi Liuhua's ear and whispered: "You are different from me, you still have the entire Lanxi family, in this situation If you leave Emperor Cheng alone and leave with me, after the calculation, the whole Lanxi family will be affected, don't worry, no one can hurt me."
