The sobbing stopped.

The three Zhang brothers, with snot and tears streaming down their faces, knelt there, staring blankly at their mother who had sat up.

Her expression remained unchanged despite her age of thirty, but Xiao Boqi clearly felt her body tremble violently.

After complaining to Zhang Dafu, Qingruo turned to look at her three sons and one daughter.

"Come here and let your mother take a look."

A simple sentence caused the three Zhang brothers to leap to the ice bed with a roar, sobbing and crying with snot and tears streaming down their faces.

I couldn't make out what the three of them were saying, but the sight of them laughing and crying made my nose sting with tears.

“My son has grown up and is quite strong.”

Qingruo stroked her three sons' heads with immense satisfaction, then looked at her thirty-year-old son who was slowly approaching her.

"My little Feng'er has grown into a young lady. Come and let your mother see her."

This scene is both heartwarming and heartbreaking; those who haven't experienced it can't possibly understand the complex emotions involved.

However, this scene was not suitable for being watched by a crowd, so a large number of people gradually dispersed.

Even Xiao Boqi and Xue Rongrong followed them away, giving the family of five time to reunite alone.

"What happened?"

Yi Boqi took out a pill and handed it to the exhausted Sheng Lingxiao beside him, then asked.

"It's nothing."

Sheng Lingxiao swallowed the pill in one gulp and then continued.

"The Lady was poisoned by the Heart-Eating Poison of the Witch King. This poison specifically targets the soul and dantian. The five senses of the poisoned person will also be sealed off by the poison. However, the Lady is very strong. The poison only sealed off her senseless soul perception. It did not seriously erode her soul and dantian."

"Most of the witchcraft techniques are derived from the Nine Nether Emperor Codex. Once the Nine Nether Emperor Codex is activated, it is not difficult to remove the poison. It's just that the rich are poisoned for a longer period of time, so the process is a bit slower."

After saying that, he scratched his head.

"Actually, Madam woke up two hours ago, but she was too weak, so she said she wanted to take a nap to rest before seeing you. So, fearing that we would disturb her, the Sect Master and I waited here."

"But when I got up, I forgot to retract my Ancestral Witch body, which caused the Ice Palace to burst and collapse..."

After listening to Sheng Lingxiao's words, Xiao Boqi shook his head helplessly.

What kind of bizarre thought process is this? They woke up two hours ago and didn't even bother to send a message to the people outside.

They have no idea how worried people outside are.

Okay, even if they didn't have time to think about it, what was with the two of them staring blankly at each other the moment the Ice Palace collapsed?

You two are afraid that the collapse of the Ice Palace will disturb your mother-in-law's nap. Damn it, we'd think something had happened to her.

Fortunately, they were all practitioners, otherwise they would have surely died of sudden cardiac arrest.

"Go and rest, there's still a lot to do."

After giving Sheng Lingxiao some more pills, Xiao Boqi planned to visit his mother-in-law.

My wife and I have been cooking for so long, so it's a must to pay my respects to my mother-in-law.

Just as he was about to turn around, the spatial passage connecting Dao Sect to Daqi suddenly trembled, and then a heavily armed demon beast army appeared.

Xiao Jin has arrived.

"Owner!"

Seeing the blond boy kneel down in front of him with a thud, Xiao Boqi smiled happily.

After waiting for so long, Xiao Jin has finally completed the last step. Now, he not only has the body of a true dragon, but he has also returned in human form.

"Was it all going smoothly?"

Helping Xiao Jin up, Yi Boqi patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"It went fairly smoothly, but it took a long time, so I didn't get to see the scene of the master conquering the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise Divine Soil."

Xiao Jin is a being who truly depends on Ye Boqi for his birth. It was Ye Boqi who gradually pushed him from the initial awakening of intelligence as a golden dragon of national destiny to his current true dragon body.

Having already pledged allegiance to Xiao Jin, Xiao Boqi could sense what Xiao Jin was thinking, even the slightest emotional fluctuations.

This is the effect of recognizing the Lord, and also the result of Xiao Jin being completely unguarded towards him.

Xiao Jin is now a head taller than Qi Boqi, and his bulging muscles make his burly body look twice as big as Qi Boqi's.

But this huge creature was circling around Yi Boqi, which puzzled the little pegasus whose essence blood had been drained.

Is he a child too?

Why does he seem even more attached to the young master than I am?

Xiao Jin recounted her transformation to Qi Boqi, and upon hearing that four half-emperors had appeared in Daqi, a cold killing intent flashed in Qi Boqi's eyes.

But at the same time, I was once again struck by the realization that I truly didn't understand the true nature of my own Daqi.

I thought I knew the strength of my mother, Dongfang Lu, Qing Chenzi and others very well, but they have the ability to kill half-emperors.

He knew Qingzhen's strength; otherwise, he wouldn't have left Daqi for so long without feeling at ease.

Although those semi-imperial capitals that only collect superficial goods are no match for the third-ranked member of the Chao clan, it was enough to make him wary.

He had already heard about the old steward's background from Ancestor Mingyue, but he never expected that the old steward was actually an Emperor Realm expert.

Didn't they say that there are no more imperial realms left in the Imperial Land?

He is of the same generation as Ancestor Mingyue and Ancestor Zhang. If that's the case, are Ancestor Mingyue and Ancestor Zhang also true Emperor Realm beings?

But why do they say that there are no more imperial realms in the imperial land?

If we extrapolate from this, then Yunqin Liancheng of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty should also be at the Emperor Realm.

If that's the case, it seems I'll have to change my strategy again.

Xiao Jin directly sent Daqi's demon beast army to the Daqi army formation stationed outside the Qi tribe. With the addition of the demon beast army, the strength of the Daqi army formation increased dramatically once again.

As for those ancient bloodline mutants in the Daoist Beast Garden, Xiao Jin easily recruited them as his underlings.

There was nothing they could do; they didn't even have the right to explode their spikes in front of the true dragon bloodline.

Xiao Jin went to recruit followers, and Xiao Boqi began a short period of seclusion.

Xiao Jin was his recognized master beast. Now that Xiao Jin has become a true dragon, its strength is comparable to that of a half-emperor.

Correspondingly, his master's status also rose accordingly.

But what Yi Boqi wanted to do was not to improve the cultivation level brought by Xiao Jin, but to suppress it.

Since returning from the Xuanwu Divine Land, he has been suppressing his cultivation strength. The foundation of the Xuanwu True Spirit's fortune only allows him to barely avoid being detected by the Heavenly Dao.

If he were to unleash his full power now, Qi Boqi would be at the level of a half-emperor, but the Heavenly Dao would surely notice.

Therefore, he can only suppress his cultivation and combat power. The only way to resolve this predicament is to obtain an even larger foundation of fortune.

The time has come to kill Yun Liandu.

Otherwise, he would be unable to improve his cultivation level and would likely be detected and killed by the Heavenly Dao in advance.

Once the Heavenly Dao discovers this, all of the old ancestor's plans and schemes will vanish into nothingness.

The Central Ming Empire, and even the entire Holy Spirit Continent, will be destroyed.
