At that moment, the black-clothed old man Qin Yan and Princess Han Wei took Yun Che and flew towards the royal city they had finally escaped from.
Qin Yan did not dissuade her. Dongfang Hanwei suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw. With her personality, she would never listen to his advice... He also hoped that this man with an unknown identity and a dangerous aura could really save the king and his wife who were in danger.
In the past, Yun Che would never rely on his strength to bully or look down on others. He would never be rude when others were polite to him. He was especially respectful to strangers and elders, especially those he had learned from Yun Gu and Xiao Lie. But now... Dongfang Hanwei and Qin Yan, who were beside him, were always under a heavy pressure and dared not even breathe.
Throughout the whole process, he didn't even look at the elders or the princess.
As for why he changed his mind and decided to help...
“Senior…” Princess Hanwei finally spoke timidly, and said carefully: “I don’t know…how should I address you as senior?”
“Yun Che.”
Seeing that he did not ignore her but answered directly, Princess Hanwei's tension was relieved. Qin Yan frowned and tried to speak: "With the ability of the Venerable, he must be a famous figure, but I have never heard of him... Could it be that the Venerable is from another star field?"
Yun Che still looked ahead and said coldly: “What is the name of this star realm?”
Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Your Excellency is indeed... Uh, Your Excellency, this world is called the East Ruins World, and it is one of the five worlds of the Nether Ruins. I wonder if Your Excellency has heard of the name of the five worlds of the Nether Ruins?"
“I don’t know.”
The two words "cold and impatient" made Qin Yan's heart skip a beat... He didn't even know about the Five Realms of Netherworld. With his terrifying strength, he certainly couldn't be an ignorant person. So, this person was most likely born in a higher plane... that is, the upper star realm! Therefore, he didn't know much about the middle star realm, or even disdained to know about it.
His posture and words suddenly became more respectful, and he quickly explained in detail: "The Five Realms of Nether Ruins are the five main star realms in this star region, namely the East Ruins Realm where we are, the West Ruins Realm in the west, the South Ruins Realm in the south, the North Ruins Realm in the north, and the Central Ruins Realm in the center."
"The East Ruins Realm is divided into three regions, and we are in the East Region of the East Ruins Realm."
“There are a total of thirty-six countries in the Eastern Region, and the Donghan Country where this old man and Your Highness are located is one of the thirty-six countries. However, the strongest forces are the ‘Nine Great Sects.’” Qin Yan quietly glanced at Yun Che’s face and said, “The person that Your Excellency just killed was from Mingpeng Mountain, and he belongs to one of the nine great sects.”
“So, the one who forced your Donghan Nation into a desperate situation was this so-called Mingpeng Clan?” Yun Che said expressionlessly. No one could possibly know what he was thinking.
"No," Princess Hanwei shook her head and whispered, "It's Tianwu Kingdom. Tianwu Kingdom is adjacent to our Donghan Kingdom. Many years ago, they exposed their ambition to annex our Donghan Kingdom and often fought with each other. And this time, I don't know what means they used, but they got help from 'Taidong Mansion', one of the nine major sects. There are even rumors that 'Taidong Xuan Mansion' has become the sect that protects the country of Tianwu Kingdom."
“This time they have the help of the God King of Taiyin Divine Mansion, and we can’t resist them at all.” Princess Hanwei’s voice trembled: “I wanted to live and die with the royal city, but my father ordered Master Qin to take me away from the royal city... and Ming Yang was simply taking advantage of the situation and preparing to kidnap me. We just left the royal city and we met him. Master Qin fought hard to get rid of them, but I didn’t expect that…”
Yun Che finally showed some expression, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face: “After all, it is a royal family of a middle-level star realm, but it doesn’t even have a Divine King. No wonder they want to destroy the country!”
Princess Han Wei and Qin Yan dared not get angry at his sarcasm. Qin Yan sighed and said, "To be honest, Your Excellency, our Donghan Kingdom has always had a national guardian god named Fang Zhou. The king has always treated him with great courtesy and respect, honoring him as the national guardian of Donghan, and the annual offerings are a huge sum."
He paused, as if hesitating, but still said: "Although he is extremely arrogant, he is extremely powerful. If he were here, it would never have come to this. However, this time the Tianwu Kingdom suddenly launched a large-scale invasion, and with the help of the Taiyin Divine Mansion, Fang Zhou happened to leave the city a few days ago for something, and no one knows where he is... Alas."
“…” Yun Che narrowed his eyes.
Qin Jian said: "Your strength is unfathomable. This time we can get help from you, it must be the blessing of heaven to our Donghan country. If... if you are not willing to do too much, saving the king is also a grace from heaven. I am an insignificant person, I hope to repay you with my remaining life."
It was impossible to let a master who was a stranger to him take action without paying a huge price. He hoped that he would be the one to pay this price, not Princess Hanwei.
At this moment, a slight fluctuation of profound energy suddenly came from Qin Yan's body. Qin Yan paused slightly and quickly took out a piece of sound transmission jade that was shining with a dark light.
After hearing the message, Qin Yan's face changed continuously, and finally he showed an ecstatic look. He raised his head suddenly and said excitedly to Princess Han Wei: "Your Highness! The king sent a message... The crisis in the royal city has been temporarily resolved, the crisis in the royal city has been temporarily resolved!"
“Ah!?” Princess Han Wei turned her head, her eyes trembling, and she couldn’t believe her ears for a moment: “Is it true...? How could it be...”
"It's the Imperial Master! The Imperial Master has returned just in time!" Qin Yan could hardly suppress his excitement and said, "The Tianwu Kingdom was afraid that the battle between the Divine Kings would cause huge casualties, so they had to temporarily withdraw their troops... Good! Fortunately, the Imperial Master has returned, and the King is also safe and sound."
Just now, when Qin Yan talked about Fang Zhou, his words were clearly full of dissatisfaction, even a hint of disgust, and he called him by his name. But now, not only did he respectfully call him "National Master", he was also full of gratitude and relief.
"That's great... That's great." The gloom and fear that had been weighing on Princess Hanwei's heart suddenly dissipated, and her eyes were filled with tears, and this time they were tears of joy.
The return of the guardian god Fang Zhou not only alleviated the threat of the fall of the royal city, but also brought a sense of security for the future.
While she was overjoyed, she did not forget about Yun Che. She quickly dispersed the watery light in her pupils and bowed to Yun Che: “Senior Yun, the crisis in the royal city has been resolved. There is no need to trouble you to help. But I must repay you for saving my life. Please come to my Donghan Royal City as a guest and give me a chance to repay you.”
Repaying the life-saving grace is one thing, and if we can find a way to let him stay in Donghan Country, it will undoubtedly be a great thing... Qin Yan shouted out with his own mouth that he is a Divine King!
In addition to the National Master Fang Zhou, if the Donghan Kingdom can get another Divine King, then the Tianwu Kingdom will have to think carefully even if it has the help of the Taiyin Divine Mansion.
After that, she hurriedly said, "No one else was present in the matter of Young Master Ming Peng, so we will not leak a single word. Please rest assured, Senior."
Yun Che didn’t seem to mind this sudden change at all. After hearing what Princess Han Wei said, his reaction was still calm: “Then I want to see how you will repay me… Let’s go!”
The Donghan Royal City was shrouded in post-war smoke, but it was still quite imposing.
The crisis has indeed been resolved, and there are no more soldiers or mystics from the Tianwu Kingdom.
This was the first time that Yun Che truly entered the Human City of the Northern Divine Region… or rather, the Demon City.
However, if we forget that they all cultivate the dark mystical power, what is the difference between the people and the city in front of us and those in other God Realms?
As soon as the three of them entered the city, several heavily armored city guards came to greet them from afar, bowed and said, "Nineteenth Princess, Master Qin, the king has ordered us to wait for a long time."
“Where are father and the others?” Dongfang Hanwei asked anxiously.
"Replying to Princess Nineteen, the King is holding a celebration banquet for the National Master. The King has said that after Princess Nineteen and Master Qin return safely, they can directly enter the palace."
“Okay!” Dongfang Hanwei turned around and said to Yun Che, “Senior, please follow me. My father has always respected the strong. He will be very happy to see you.”
She had originally thought that Yun Che would most likely refuse given his cold and aloof personality, but she had never expected that he would simply say “hmm” with an expressionless face.
Dongfang Hanwei was in the front, hurriedly entering the main hall of the royal city. A grand banquet was being held in the hall at this time. The people attending the banquet were either royal nobles or important figures from the various fields and sects of the Donghan Kingdom. Their temperament and profound aura were all extraordinary.
“Han Wei!”
As soon as Dongfang Hanwei entered the palace, the Lord of Donghan Kingdom stood up excitedly, and then walked over to greet her in person. Looking at his most beloved daughter, his eyes were full of concern that could not be concealed: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
Dongfang Hanwei shook her head, holding back tears and said, "With Master Qin risking his life to protect me, I am fine... Seeing that my father is safe, I can finally rest assured."
Quickly wiping away her tears, she stepped aside and said, "Father, this senior is someone I met by chance outside. He is a Divine King."
As soon as the word "God King" came out, countless eyes in the hall suddenly shot over, and the eyes of the King of Donghan suddenly changed. He looked at Qin Yan, who nodded slightly to him. At that moment, he no longer had any doubts, and stepped forward quickly. As the king of a country, he actually bowed slightly: "Your Excellency has come, and I am very rude for not being able to greet you from afar. There is a celebration banquet in the hall this time. If your Excellency does not mind the simplicity, how about we join the banquet together?"
Yun Che said “hmm” and walked in directly.
Under the personal arrangement of the Lord of Donghan, Yun Che sat in a seat near the top. His arrival made the entire hall suddenly quieter, and all eyes were focused on him... Divine King, these two words have too much deterrence. However, this face is too young and unfamiliar.
"Fellow Daoist," a calm voice came from the main seat at this time, with a hint of authority: "I don't know what to call you, and what sect are you from?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in yellow clothes with a fair complexion. He shook the wine cup in his hand and looked at Yun Che with a squint… Yun Che was indeed a Divine King. He could clearly sense the aura of his first-level Divine King realm profound strength.
However, compared to him, a Level 3 God King, he was far behind, both in terms of level and the richness of his aura.
In this grand banquet, he was not sitting anywhere else on the table, but beside the main seat... surprisingly, he was sitting at the same level as the Lord of Donghan Country!
Because he is the guardian god king of Donghan Kingdom, Fang Zhou, the Donghan national master who has just made a great contribution to saving the city!
Yun Che reached out and picked up the bamboo chopsticks without even glancing at Fang Zhou, as if he hadn't heard his question at all.
Fang Zhou frowned slightly, and Dongfang Hanwei quickly said, "This senior, Yun Che, is not from the East Ruins Realm."
“Yun Che? Haha…” Fang Zhou smiled and said leisurely: “I don’t know where this fellow Daoist surnamed Yun comes from… What is his intention to get close to Princess Nineteen and join the Donghan Imperial Family?!”
His voice suddenly became stern, startling everyone. The Lord of Donghan quickly stood up and said, "National Master, this venerable is a distinguished guest brought back by Han Wei herself, and he definitely does not have ulterior motives... Venerable Yun, the National Master is cautious by nature, and he has absolutely no other intentions, so please don't blame me."
“Humph!” Fang Zhou said coldly, “I have been in this world for thousands of years. Not to mention the East Ruins Realm, there is still no God King whose name I cannot name in the entire Nether Ruins Star Region. But I have never heard of the name Yun Che.”
"Although you are only a first-level Divine King who has just entered the King Realm, you should also have the pride of being a Divine King. How could you accept an invitation so easily... Do you really have no ulterior motives!?"
“…” Yun Che still did not respond, his fingers slowly playing with the bamboo chopsticks in his hand.
Dongfang Hanwei stood up and bowed solemnly, saying, "National Master, I met Senior Yun by chance, and it was Hanwei who took the initiative to invite him to the royal city. Moreover, Senior Yun saved Hanwei and Master Qin's lives, so Hanwei assures the National Master that Senior Yun is definitely not what the National Master worries about."
“Is this true?” The Lord of Donghan was shocked when he heard this, and he quickly bowed to Yun Che: “So you saved my daughter’s life, Your Excellency. Such a great favor… Please accept my humble respect.”
“Oh?” Fang Zhou changed his posture, and finally stopped looking at Yun Che with a sidelong glance. He said with a half-smile, “I see. It seems I was overly suspicious. My Donghan Nation is in a troubled time, so I have to be more cautious. Please don’t blame me for forgetting.”
"As an apology, if I have time, I can give you some pointers. What do you think?"
With these words, Fang Zhou showed that he cared about the royal family and had a broad mind. The word "guidance" was telling everyone that this God King who had just entered the royal city was far inferior to him.
In Donghan Royal City, he is still the king.
Yun Che was still playing with the bamboo chopsticks. He finally spoke, and his low, cold voice carried waves of chills that reached everyone’s ears: “Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to instruct me?”
