"..." Li Mingke tilted his head, raised his hand to his ear, and cupped it into a megaphone shape. "Say it again?"
"The King of Wu has been defeated."
Li Mingke stood still.
“Mingke…” Biechen was terrified when he saw her like this.
Was he scared out of his wits? Or was he overwhelmed with grief?
Li Mingke slowly raised her head, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at him. "So... my grandfather... he's dead?"
So that's what she was worried about!
It's no wonder Li Mingke thinks this way; throughout history, how many rebels have had a good ending?
Bie Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "No, the King of Wu is currently imprisoned in the imperial prison, but his life is not in danger."
"The Li family..."
"The Li family is fine too. Although the Li family is secretly supporting the King of Wu, there is no evidence to hold them accountable, so it is not easy to take any action against them."
Li Mingke finally felt relieved.
Bie Chen said, "I just finished purging the rebels, and I had a bad feeling. I thought it was because of you that something happened."
Li Mingke still felt a bit scared when he thought about it. "Luckily you came. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have had any chance against the two of them."
Bie Chen's face darkened at the thought of Jinyun and Luan Hua. "They really dare to dream, actually wanting to be together."
Bie Chen knew that after years of fighting, the best solution was to end up with both sides suffering heavy losses, even though it was extremely unethical and the person in charge was unwilling to do so.
"Sigh!" Li Mingke sighed, unwilling to mention it again. "By the way, what is your magic weapon? How is it so powerful?"
Bie Chen took out the pearl again, saying, "This was left to me by my master. He said it would be of great use someday, but I didn't expect to use it so soon."
Li Mingke stretched out his finger and curiously poked it.
Contrary to her expectations of a cold touch, it was surprisingly warm and smooth like jade.
"The most powerful thing about this jewel is that it can amplify people's obsessions and conjure up the illusions they imagine."
Li Mingke was stunned. An imagined illusion? Then why was all she saw a vast expanse of white?
"Jinyun and Luanhua have been the supreme rulers of the world for far too long. We two are just starting out, and even if we join forces, we might not be able to defeat them. I never expected that this precious pearl would play such a crucial role."
"If you don't let go of your obsessions, you might never escape this illusion!"
Li Mingke nodded silently.
Suddenly she thought of something, cried out in surprise, and jumped up.
"What's wrong, Mingke?"
"He Xun! I forgot about He Xun!"
She rushed back and saw He Xun lying on his side under the boulder, looking calm and unharmed, which put her at ease.
"Ah Xun! Ah Xun!"
She held him in her arms and shook him desperately, but He Xun kept his eyes closed and didn't move.
Li Mingke and Bie Chen looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Is Ah Xun also...?"
Bie Chen nodded hesitantly.
Li Mingke slapped his forehead with a loud "What am I going to do?!"
The war between immortals and demons has ended, the rebellion of the Wu King's Mansion has been suppressed, and the chaos in the world has finally come to a close.
Li Mingke carried He Xun on his back, and together with Bie Chen, they headed step by step towards Jiangtian, the capital of Daye.
She specially changed He Xun into ordinary clothes and covered her head with a large piece of cloth so that others could not see her face.
It's just getting off to a good start. If people find out that Yao Nu is in trouble, who knows what kind of mess it will cause.
"We happen to be passing through Pengzhou on the way, would you like to..." Bie Chen drove the carriage, his voice carrying into the back of the carriage.
"I'll go back and take a look."
Some members of the immortal sects are still resisting, and peace is not yet fully restored in various places. Li Mingke is worried about Bie Chen taking He Xun back alone, so she plans to escort them along the way. However, when passing through Pengzhou, she still wants to go home and visit.
She nimbly jumped off the carriage, the two large golden characters of "Li Mansion" gleaming in the sunlight.
We're finally back!
