“Uncle Yueli, in the past three years, have you heard any news about Yuechan?” Yun Che hesitated before asking. He knew that the chances of getting a positive answer were slim.
Not surprisingly, Chu Yueli shook her head sadly.
“It’s okay…” Yun Che took a deep breath and said, “Three years ago, I commissioned the Black Moon Merchant Guild’s headquarters to look for information about Yue Chan. With the Black Moon Merchant Guild’s capabilities, it has been three years, so they must have made some discoveries… Maybe they have already found her whereabouts.”
“Yes!” Chu Yueli nodded slightly, with a glimmer of hope in her beautiful eyes: “Palace Master, when you go to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, remember to inquire about Qingyue’s news. Now that the crisis here has been resolved, it is not safe for her to be outside.”
“I will.” Yun Che nodded: “I should be in the Divine Phoenix Country for some time to come. My stay may be long or short. If anything unexpected happens, remember to send me a message immediately. I will find a way to rush back as soon as possible!”
Yun Che bid farewell to the women of Bingyun for a while, retrieved the Primordial Profound Ark, traveled through space, and returned to Cangfeng Imperial City.
Compared to yesterday, the Blue Wind Imperial City was much calmer today. At least the heavy, gloomy, and desperate atmosphere had mostly dissipated. The news that Prince Consort Yun had returned and destroyed hundreds of thousands of troops of the Divine Phoenix Empire in an instant had already spread throughout Divine Phoenix City and the surrounding areas, igniting their hope that had been extinguished for a long time.
"Husband, how is things going at the Sun Moon Temple?"
Yun Che came back, and Cang Feng hurried out to greet him. Her delicate face beneath the phoenix crown was filled with deep joy and undisguised exhaustion. Obviously, she was worried and had not slept all night.
“Empress Sister-in-law, Big Brother is so… so… so powerful!” Before Yun Che could answer, Xiao Yun couldn’t help but shout excitedly, “The people coming from the Sun Moon Divine Hall are so powerful. Not only did the young master come in person, but there were also several emperors. However, Big Brother burned one of them to death. The others were all scared away… and they were so scared that they definitely won’t dare to come again in the future. Ah… Seventh sister, there’s no need to check. I really don’t have any injuries at all. I just stood there for a short while and didn’t fight with anyone. Ah, it hurts…”
Xiao Yun’s pale words naturally could not fully describe the scene at that time. He also did not know that while everything was going extremely smoothly, Yun Che felt as if he was walking on a tightrope with a bottomless abyss below him.
Cang Yue did not ask any more questions, because seeing Yun Che's determined eyes, she knew that the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace had resolved the crisis... even though they were facing the Sun Moon Divine Palace. She smiled and said, "It's good that everything is fine. This time, you should go to Grandpa's place, right?"
“Well, I’ll take Xiao Yun there right away.” Thinking of the faces of Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi, Yun Che’s heart naturally surged with warmth, and then, it grew stronger and stronger, almost uncontrollably impatient.
“Xiao Yun, let’s go to Floating Cloud City now… That’s where you were born. Once you get there, you’ll be able to meet your true blood relatives.” Yun Che picked up the Primordial Profound Ark again and said with a smile.
Xiao Yun opened his mouth, paused for a long time, and then nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
Finding his blood relatives and meeting and recognizing them was his biggest purpose in following Yun Che to the Profound Sky Continent!
"I want to go too." Number Seven Under Heaven took a leap and grabbed Xiao Yun's arm.
“You and Xiao Yun are a family now. How can you be absent from such a family reunion? You have to go!” Yun Che said with a smile: “Yue’er, I will be back with grandpa and my aunt soon. Brother Tianxia, Yuanba, I will leave the Imperial City to you.”
“Don’t worry, brother-in-law. No matter how many of them come, they can’t even get close to here!” Xia Yuanba raised his thick arms and clenched his palms casually, and there was a sound of knuckles popping like popping beans.
"Xiao Yun, Seventh Sister, let's go."
"Ah? Just... just go like this? Should I prepare something else, such as... such as..." Xiao Yun was at a loss for a moment. In the more than 20 years in the Illusory Demon Realm, he had always been labeled as a "Heavenly Profound Wild Child". At the age of 22, he had never seen any of his blood relatives.
“You don’t need anything. Let’s go!!” Yun Che grabbed Xiao Yun and pulled him up. Compared to Xiao Yun’s timidity, he could no longer wait.
After entering the Taikoo Xuanzhou and setting the distance and direction of travel, they arrived above Liuyun City in just a moment.
After leaving the Primordial Profound Ark, Yun Che took a deep breath of the air here… I’m finally back to the place where I grew up…
The air still has the familiar smell, without the smell of gunpowder.
From a thousand feet high in the sky, Yun Che silently looked down at his familiar hometown. Cangfeng Country was the smallest of the seven Tianxuan countries, and Liuyun City was the smallest city in Cangfeng Country. There was no hustle and bustle of a big city here, and at this moment, Liuyun City was much quieter than Yun Che remembered. Although there were streams of people on the long and narrow streets, they were much sparser than before.
As Cang Yue said, although the Divine Phoenix Nation unexpectedly sent a full 200,000 troops to Floating Cloud City, they did not attack the city. As Yun Che looked around, there seemed to be no traces of fighting anywhere in the entire Floating Cloud City... let alone large-scale battles, there were no small-scale battles. The streets were flat, and the buildings did not show any signs of being destroyed. The entire city was not shrouded in an atmosphere of panic. In fact... Yun Che found out that in the entire Floating Cloud City, only the direction of the City Lord's Mansion was stationed with a team that should be the Divine Phoenix Army, and the number of people was only a hundred or so.
This result made Yun Che breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, doubts arose in his heart.
The people of Liuyun City are weak, the city is small, the land is barren, there are no places with rich resources around the city, and even the mysterious beasts that exist are of the lowest level. There is no value in attacking it. In addition, it is located in the easternmost part of Cangfeng Country, the area is remote, and it requires a long march. Invading it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses. Even if it must be conquered, with the combat power of the Shenhuang Army, it can be done by sending a few thousand soldiers and horses... But the Shenhuang side sent a full 200,000 troops!
Before marching into Blue Wind Imperial City!
And according to Cang Yue, after the 200,000-strong Divine Phoenix army arrived here, they never left.
But, the current scene in Liuyun City is like this.
Everything reveals a weirdness that cannot be explained by common sense.
what is going on?
What exactly does the Shenhuang Empire want to do to Liuyun City?
Boom~~
Boom~~~
Boom! !
Dull roars came from the east, northeast, and southeast. Some of these roars were far away, while others were relatively close, and they were particularly dense. Yun Che quickly turned his head to look east. In the rugged and barren mountains east of Floating Cloud City, he saw patches of red shadows that were either condensed or dispersed. His brows sank slightly, and he concentrated his eyes to the extreme. Gradually, he discovered that those red shadows were actually the Divine Phoenix Army wearing scarlet light armor!
"What's that sound? Are there people fighting there?" Xiao Yun and Number Seven Under Heaven looked at the east and asked in surprise.
"It's the Divine Phoenix Army!"
"Divine Phoenix Army? Is there anyone fighting with the Divine Phoenix Army?" Xiao Yun asked hurriedly. The gazes he and Number Seven Under Heaven had were far inferior to those of Yun Che, who possessed the power of a Wild God.
“No,” Yun Che shook his head. As he spoke, a look of deep confusion formed between his brows. “They seem to be bombarding the ground in a unified rhythm.”
"Bombarding... the ground?" Xiao Yun's eyes widened: "What are they doing? Are they training the troops?"
Yun Che pondered for a moment and shook his head: “I don’t know. Ignore them for now, let’s go, let’s go down.” He stretched out his finger and pointed at the most familiar place in his life: “That’s the Xiao family compound, and it’s also where I grew up for sixteen years. Grandpa and my aunt are there now.”
Just as Yun Che was about to sink, Jasmine’s voice suddenly came into his mind: “Wait!”
Yun Che’s figure suddenly stopped. Whenever Jasmine suddenly made such a sound, it was definitely because she had discovered something extraordinary. He quickly concentrated and asked, “Jasmine, what’s wrong?”
“Where is this place?” Jasmine had just finished speaking when she recognized this place: “Liuyun City?”
Obviously, Jasmine should have just woken up from sleep. Yun Che responded: "I just came back here, what did you find? Is there something wrong here?"
“…” Jasmine was silent for a long while before she spoke in an extremely low voice: “Why… is there demonic energy here?!”
“Demonic energy?” Yun Che was stunned: “What does demonic energy mean?”
“…” Jasmine remained silent for a long while, her tone becoming deeper and deeper, “Sure enough, it wasn’t an illusion, it was definitely demonic energy! Demonic energy… to put it simply, it is when one or more negative emotions reach a certain limit, the laws become distorted, and thus the mysterious energy mutates! The demonic profound power it generates is stronger than the profound power of the same level, and is also more difficult to control. And because demonic energy can only be generated under extreme negative emotions, people who possess demonic energy… are all evil beings with distorted spirits and beliefs, and should not exist in the world! Or they can be directly called demons or devils!”
Yun Che: “…”
"This plane is getting more and more interesting. There is actually something like demonic energy!" Jasmine said in a low voice. She had a deep disgust and even resentment towards "demons" because the poison she was infected with was the most terrifying demonic poison!
“This person is in Floating Cloud City?” Yun Che asked in a deep voice.
"That's right, and... it's in the Xiao Clan you're about to return to!"
“What!!” Yun Che was shocked.
“Let’s go down and take a look right away. I really want to know what kind of person is able to generate demonic energy in such a low-level plane!” Jasmine’s tone was particularly strange.
