In the brief moment that Yue Qingling was stunned, she heard Guo Feng's hearty laughter.
"Hei Miao, you've worked hard on this mission."
"Besides, everyone else has already returned, and you're still late. Your sister-in-law and I were quite worried."
As they were talking, the woman came over affectionately, took Hei Miao's hand and looked her up and down, as if afraid that she was missing a piece of flesh somewhere.
Hei Miao explained with great emotion: "This servant has been negligent in her duties, causing the King and Queen to worry. I deserve to die for this."
However, this servant's mission yielded some results, but it was only to fulfill Empress Qingyue's request that it took some time.
I hope Your Majesty will forgive me.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to introduce you. This is Yue Qingling, a cultivator from the Eastern Continent. She and I were both selected at the Supreme Holy Land, and she has come to Chen City to discuss important matters with you."
She quickly introduced Yue Qingling, who was behind Guo Feng.
A loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer; Guo Feng understood Hei Miao's meaning immediately.
This human cultivator must have some very important value.
Otherwise, Hei Miao, as Guo Feng's most powerful subordinate, would not have rashly brought a human cultivator over.
Upon hearing this, Yue Qingling took the opportunity to withdraw her gaze and politely cupped her hands, saying, "Greetings, King Guo. I am but a humble cultivator, not worth mentioning."
"Is it the Immortal Venerable of Yunlin Mountain in the Eastern Continent?" Guo Feng raised a thick eyebrow, quite surprised.
It seems he has heard about Dongzhou.
This immortal venerable of Yunlin Mountain was once imprisoned in a basement by the current Empress of Dongzhou...
However, he was very well-mannered and did not ask too many questions, since it was not convenient to talk at the palace gate.
He said in a friendly manner, "Since you are a fellow Daoist from the Eastern Continent, you are a guest from afar."
Besides, the fact that Hei Miao brought you here means she trusts you, so you are our friend.
Brother Yue, please!
The Demon King, with such nonchalant manner, extended his hand to welcome them, without the slightest airs.
This made Yue Qingling feel somewhat flattered.
He was also very polite, and followed Guo Feng into the palace with a proper attitude.
Throughout the journey, Madam Guo held Hei Miao's hand tightly, constantly showering her with concern and asking her all sorts of questions.
Hei Miao's previous nonchalant expression had long since disappeared; she was all smiles, looking just like a close friend.
It seems that this family of three truly treats Hei Miao as their own little sister.
Guo Feng remained silent the entire way, but this man possessed a unique charm. Being by his side, one could feel his honesty and generosity, giving one a sense of warmth and comfort.
Yue Qingling didn't say anything, but she didn't feel embarrassed either.
Perhaps that's the allure of those in positions of power.
The girl with the fox tail sticking out kept staring at him. She was clearly very interested in this human cultivator.
The group arrived at a large hall and sat down.
Guo Feng then asked with a smile, "Brother Yue, what brings you to Chencheng this time?"
Before Yue Qingling could answer, Heimiao spoke first: "Your Majesty, this is a long story, let me tell you about it."
If Yue Qingling were to explain matters such as the Great Emperor's succession and the reincarnation of Empress Qingyue, she might not be able to give a clear answer, and since he was new to the area, Guo Feng might not believe her either.
It's more reliable to let Heimiao explain.
She recounted everything that happened in the Sacred Land of the Ultimate Path in detail.
Upon learning that Heimiao was now the successor to Empress Qingyue, Guo Feng was overjoyed. He couldn't help but pat the armrest of his chair and laugh, "Haha, then my demon race will have an emperor in the future?"
"Your Majesty, please don't be impatient, there is more good news."
Seeing Guo Feng happy made Hei Miao happy too, so she quickly told him about the reincarnation of Empress Qingyue.
Finally, she explained the purpose of Yue Qingling's arrival, but did not mention that Yue Qingling had inherited the lineage of Empress Huarui.
Yue Qingling didn't know why she was hiding it, but keeping his lineage a secret would save him some trouble.
Guo Feng and his wife Li Wan exchanged a glance. He said kindly, "Brother Yue, if you have come here to find the reincarnation of the Empress, then I, Guo Feng, will fully cooperate. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know!"
Yue Qingling glanced at the fox girl subconsciously and found that the other girl was still staring at him intently, her eyes not moving at all.
He immediately looked away and smiled, "This matter is not urgent..."
He wanted to say that he needed to think about how to explain it.
I can't just come up and say, "Your daughter is a reincarnation." I need to check if she has any birthmarks on her shoulders.
Wouldn't that be considered a hooligan?
Moreover, he didn't want to reveal the matter of reincarnation so soon.
He was still thinking of cultivating in the Western Continent for a few more days.
Having experienced many things, Yue Qingling has also developed a little bit of cunning.
The reason why a trump card is a trump card is that it cannot be shown to others rashly.
But before he could say anything, Guo Feng said with a serious expression, "Brother Yue is also a cultivator from the Supreme Holy Land. Don't you understand the current crisis?"
"The more cultivators with the potential to become Great Emperors, the more combat power we have!"
"To be honest, I really don't know what this crisis has to do with the Emperor..."
Yue Qingling gave a wry smile. He looked at Guo Feng with curiosity, hoping that this Xuanji Realm cultivator could explain what this crisis, which even the Great Emperor was worried about, was.
Guo Feng was somewhat surprised. Yue Qingling knew nothing about this, so why did she want to go to the Holy Land of the Extreme Path?
But he didn't delve into the details. Instead, he said in a drawn-out tone, "When I received the invitation from the Sacred Land of the Extreme Path, I immediately selected suitable personnel."
But I don't know what a major crisis is.
Then I searched through ancient books and materials, and it was in these scattered fragments that the last crisis came to light.
Only then did I realize why Empress Ziqing had opened the Sacred Land of the Extreme Path in such a hurry.
"It is said that every few hundred thousand years, there will be a period of absence of emperors."
One by one, the emperors of Zhongzhou fell, until finally there were no more powerful emperors left.
This gap period is neither long nor short.
It may last for a hundred years, or it may last for two or three years.
Only when a new emperor appears will the Four Realms Continent return to its former peace.
But during this gap, dark invaders will appear. Their location is uncertain, and no one knows why they appear.
Like the world's internal destruction mechanism, their appearance, without an emperor, would be a catastrophe for everyone!
Yue Qingling was terrified when she heard this.
He had never heard of such a crisis before.
He quickly asked, "How strong are the invaders? Could it be that they can't even defeat someone at the Heavenly Cultivation Realm?"
"Heh, Heavenly Cultivation Realm?"
Guo Feng gave a wry smile, unsure how to describe the terror.
Li Wan, standing beside her husband, explained, "Brother Yue may have misunderstood; this has nothing to do with cultivation level."
The intruders appear in unknown places, and by the time they are discovered, they are already in large numbers, stretching as far as the eye can see.
They will attack any living creature; hiding won't help.
They would only stop briefly after they had killed almost all of them.
To be honest, they aren't that strong.
However, no matter how many times they are eliminated, during the Emperor's downtime, the invaders can never be completely wiped out.
