After listening to Princess Muye's story, Li discovered that Sanyan's description of his master was actually true. He has a gentle character, cares about the world, doesn't like fighting, is completely different from his second brother Talius, etc... These are not exaggerations out of some need, but the other person is indeed like this!
It's even worse than what Felaiden described!
So much so that even Mr. Three Eyes himself was stunned.
"Did Taris fulfill his promise?" Qian Yan suddenly asked.
"This..." Feleyton was speechless for a moment. After the second prince took over the throne, he did replace all the princess's cronies, but other than that, he did not take any major purge measures. The entire handover process was carried out very quickly. In less than half a month, the upper echelons of Nata Ting completed the transfer of power without causing much disturbance within the kingdom.
Afterwards, most of their losses and casualties occurred in plotting against Talius and inquiring about the princess' information.
"But your highness - are you willing to be locked up here for the rest of your life?" He could only look at the princess again, "I know that your highness has no intention of fighting for the throne, and I don't want you to be involved in the struggle for royal power, but... this is definitely not where you should be. I can't leave you to suffer here alone!"
"I'm sorry for making you worry." The princess comforted him, "I don't plan to be imprisoned for the rest of my life. According to the agreement, I only need to stay in Sheila for ten years until the political situation in Nata Ting is completely stabilized. By the way, How many years has passed now?" She felt a little embarrassed, "This place is indeed more difficult than I thought. Not being able to see the sunrise and sunset makes it easy for people to lose track of time... "
"Ten years?" Felayton opened his mouth wide, and then showed an extremely indignant look. He clenched his fists hard and replied bitterly, "It has been fourteen years since the day you disappeared, Your Highness!"
"Is... is that so?" Princess Muye's tone was a little surprised, but she quickly returned to normal, "Since the time has been enough, I should be able to leave here, right?"
"Of course you can go out!" Feleyton stretched out his hand to pull His Highness up. "Tarius has no intention of letting you return to Silisti. As long as you stay in Shila City for one day, he doesn't have to worry about the Holy Wing Islands coming from behind. He is attacking you from a flank. You are obviously treated as a chess piece that can be thrown away at any time!"
The princess didn't answer.
Her eyes hidden behind the ends of her hair dimmed a little, but her expression remained the same.
Perhaps in these long years, she had not expected this.
Li was relieved.
Not being able to return to Celisti is good news for Jin Xia - as long as the other party can remove the evil influence on Ning Wanjun, this trip to the West Pole will not be in vain.
"Anyway, let's evacuate the old palace first." She gestured to the two of them. "It's not very safe here. No one knows whether those guards can repel the evil spirits."
"Indeed." Feleyton nodded, "Your Highness, please come with us."
"Yes." Princess Muye suddenly shouted to Li after taking a few steps, "Be careful, don't touch it."
Li's tail immediately stood up, "Is there an enemy? Or is it a trap?"
She glanced around but found nothing unusual around her.
"No... it's a soul that has not yet dissipated." The princess took two steps away from the fox demon, as if to avoid something, "It has been here longer than me, so it's better not to touch it. .”
Li felt a pimple rising on his back, "Can you see the soul of the deceased?"
"I don't know if they are things left behind by the dead, because not everyone is like that." The latter replied frankly, "It can neither speak nor have consciousness, but it is definitely there."
The fox demon couldn't help but swallow.
She had an indescribable fear of this invisible and intangible thing.
"Okay, we'll study this kind of problem later." Qian Yan interrupted, "It's business to get out of here quickly."
As soon as the group of people ran out of the palace gate, they heard an explosion that shook the earth!
I saw billowing smoke billowing from the woods in the western suburbs, as if they had just experienced a thunderstorm. The sky above Shila City turned dark red, and the illumination in the palace area was also reduced a lot. The shadows on the courtyard walls stretched so long that they almost covered all the walking paths. The interior of the palace garden, which was originally filled with the sounds of fighting and screams, also showed a deathly silence.
"What's going on?" Princess Muye looked at Feleyton in surprise, "You won't bring your army to attack the Holy Wing Islands, will you?"
"No, you are worrying too much." Feleyton whistled twice toward the outside of the courtyard, but never got the slightest response. His face could not help but darken, "The statue ghosts are all gone..."
"Because the sun's light has weakened." Qian Yan said calmly, "The ability to move in dark light and without light is completely different. Now even two or three demons can easily kill a group of fully armed soldiers. Now There can be only one reason why there is no sound in the palace."
All living people have been killed by evil spirits.
Li's face was solemn, "And if we want to go back the way we came..."
"We have to pass through most of the palace, and there are many lightless areas on the way. As for how many evil spirits are waiting for us there, it is basically unknown."
"Damn it, how could the situation be like this!" Feleyton gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that after finally rescuing the princess, escaping from the palace would become a dangerous thing.
"Can't you fly?" Qian Yan shrugged, "The Governor of Tural who attacked Jinxia City before could turn into black smoke and fly around."
"You are referring to the Shadow Trace Technique, right? It is an advanced technique of the Nat clan, and not everyone can cast it."
"How about... let's go back to the palace, seal the door, and wait until tomorrow?" Princess Muye suggested.
"If it were a sunset under natural circumstances, we could do this. But the current abnormal situation is obviously related to the God's Arrival Ceremony. I'm afraid I won't wait for a turnaround if I stay here." Li vetoed decisively, "Since there are not many people in the palace anymore, With a guard, we don’t have to take the original route out of the city.”
After saying that, she turned aside, transformed into the form of a two-tailed giant fox, and threw the three of them onto her descendants one by one.
"Qianyan, I'll leave the transportation to you."
"Hey, I knew it was going to be like this." Qian Yan sighed and cast his mind spell. A smooth ice road with stairs gradually condensed and pointed directly at the city wall closest to the palace.
"Be careful, the devil is coming!" Felayton warned loudly.
Attracted by the breath of the living, several charms followed the shadow of the palace wall and surrounded them, moving so fast that it was almost difficult to lock them with the naked eye.
Li raised his snow-white tail and swung it toward the entrance of the inner courtyard. In an instant, several thunderbolts appeared out of thin air, forming an airtight thunder and lightning network!
Then she jumped onto the road to the sky made of solid ice, and rushed through the towering outer wall of the palace amidst lightning and thunder.
