"Your Highness, the Star Luo Imperial Palace has been attacked by an unknown Title Douluo. All the royal guards have been captured. Please flee Star Luo immediately to preserve the empire's future!"
"Your Highness, the Star Luo Imperial Palace has been attacked by an unknown Title Douluo. All the royal guards have been captured. Please flee Star Luo immediately to preserve the empire's future!"
The eunuch, with a shrill voice, summoned his martial spirit and sped across Hurricane Canyon. His six spirit rings constantly swirled around him, resisting the countless storms and torrents within the canyon, buying himself a little more time to deliver the message to Dai Mubai, the heir to the empire.
Unfortunately, as a forbidden zone that could be called a death trap, even though this eunuch's soul power level was as high as 62, he was still blown into a bloody mess by the raging wind after his rampage. The almost exposed wounds and the large amount of gushing blood proved at all times that this Soul Emperor was on the verge of death.
A tiger's roar shook off the raging winds, and a streak of light shot into the sky. The blond man in the light rescued the eunuch, who was completely unfamiliar with the safe paths of Hurricane Canyon and had been recklessly charging through the canyon, nearly being blown to death by the hurricane. He then took the eunuch directly to a cave where he was currently residing, which was considered relatively safe at the moment.
After setting down the eunuch who had come to deliver the message, he immediately took out a large number of healing pills from his storage soul artifact and stuffed them all into the eunuch's mouth, making him swallow them all.
Tall and muscular, with his upper body bare and muscles poised to burst forth, Dai Mubai's body was covered in a dense network of wounds. Only his face and neck remained largely untouched due to special protection. Yet, with a ferocity far greater than ever before, Dai Mubai glared at the eunuch, who was already on edge, and instantly fainted.
After taking two deep breaths, he looked at his upper body covered in wounds, casually tore off a robe and put it on, then used his soul power to protect himself and rushed straight towards the exit of Hurricane Canyon.
He wanted to go back and see what kind of formidable enemy the Star Luo Empire had encountered!
Although a titled Douluo who could directly defeat the Star Luo Royal Family must be a truly powerful figure among titled Douluos.
But living in such a desperate situation for many years has also given him enough confidence to conceal his confidence from most of the titled Douluo.
Besides, he had already escaped once back then, and now he really didn't want to escape again.
Supported by this belief, Dai Mubai traveled from Hurricane Canyon back to the capital of Xingluo in less than two days without making a sound.
Ignoring the still densely populated and bustling capital of Xingluo, he sneaked into the palace, which seemed unchanged, except that everyone's faces were filled with fear and lingering apprehension. With just one glance, he revealed the aura he had been concealing all along.
Because he saw a woman, a woman he had longed for for countless years, a woman who had become his obsession.
Zhu Zhuqing stood silently at the highest point of the palace, and even the scorching midday sun could not dispel her cool and aloof aura.
Looking at that stunningly beautiful figure that had appeared in his dreams for so long, a figure that had tormented him, Dai Mubai surprisingly had an idea.
"If it were nighttime, how beautiful would this scene be?"
Their complicated gazes met, and then they each approached.
They stopped when they were less than five steps apart.
"Long time no see. I never imagined you'd come to this. Indeed, getting rid of me is your true liberation..."
A relieved smile tinged with deep sorrow as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing, whose strength he could no longer discern, and who felt a sense of crisis rising from the depths of his heart even at the mere sight of her.
Knowing full well how much suffering he had endured to get to where he was today, Dai Mubai looked at the bird that had finally broken free of its cage and was flying towards a wider world after giving it its all.
At this moment, it seemed as if some heavy burden in his heart had finally been lifted. Dai Mubai swayed for a moment before quickly regaining his balance, but his energy and spirit were far less than before.
Looking at Dai Mubai's current appearance and then at the dense, terrifying scars on his muscular body that wasn't covered by his clothes, Zhu Zhuqing, feeling somewhat sorry for him, spoke up.
"I've returned this time not only to settle the obsessions in our hearts, but also to remind you that the Spirit Hall is no longer hiding. The three upper sects have been destroyed, and the next step is the two great empires. You must be careful."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his complex face, a smile that was hard to tell whether it was one of relief or something else.
After letting out a long sigh, he continued.
"You know what? When I saw you come back, for a moment I felt both happy and jealous, because you ran away back then. But now that you've completely changed, I should let go of many things."
"Originally, I intended to take you away from the mainland to escape this vortex, but now it seems you will bear the responsibilities of a crown prince and the heir to an empire. Be careful in everything you do, and I hope we can meet again in the future!"
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing turned and left. Lin Xi, who had been staying in the palace and looking around the Star Luo Empire's treasure room, sensed Zhu Zhuqing's direction and chased after her.
Along the way, he whispered something to Dai Mubai, who was still staring blankly at Zhu Ziqing's receding figure with a complicated look in his eyes and remained silent.
“Boss Dai, Zhu Qing has already let go of herself, and you should let go of many unfounded things as well. Besides, you've only lost your engagement, it doesn't mean you can't pursue her, right? There will always be opportunities, won't there?”
After saying that, Lin Xi accelerated and caught up with Zhu Zhuqing, leaving Dai Mubai behind, who suddenly realized something and whose expression was a complex mix of laughter and tears.
Although he felt that doing this was unfair to Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, despite being portrayed as a playboy during his time at Shrek Academy, had always been quite competent as the eldest brother of the team.
Even though he lost his target during such a dangerous period and died under mysterious circumstances, Lin Xi still hoped that he could survive this crisis, even though Zhu Zhuqing might be tempted by a big tiger and be at a loss after he survives.
"If Zhu Qing suffers even more, and Dai Mubai bears the blame, I'm sure they'd be willing to accept it, right?"
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was beginning to feel a sense of relief, she suddenly felt something pressing down on her. Turning her head, she saw Lin Xi had pounced on her back and refused to get down. The eerie smile on Lin Xi's face sent chills down Zhu Zhuqing's spine.
