Jinwu was originally much stronger than Ji Xiaoxi. After those fragmented souls entered the body of the Tenth Prince of Jinwu, the Tenth Prince slowly opened his eyes.
"Mother..." Upon seeing Xihe, the Tenth Prince burst into tears. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly clutched his head and cried out, "It hurts so much."
Upon hearing the word "mother," Xihe was overjoyed, but then she was startled to see him in such pain and quickly looked at Zu'an.
Zuan explained, "The souls of the ten brothers are all somewhat incomplete, so it's normal for them to have headaches now."
Sure enough, the tenth prince soon uttered sounds with varying tones and even timbres:
"Huh, how did I get here?"
"Who are you?"
"This looks like the tenth brother's body."
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
“I remember my father seemed to have killed me back then.”
...
A cacophony of voices clashed and the Tenth Prince clutched his head, his pain intensifying.
Just then, a jade bottle flew over, and the Goddess of Wushan's voice rang out: "This will make them feel a little better."
Xihe cast a grateful glance at her and hurriedly gave the Tenth Prince a drop of Cloud Essence. The Tenth Prince's pain was indeed relieved, and he gradually calmed down.
Xihe then explained everything that had happened to them. Zuan then came to Ji Xiaoxi's side, gently held her small hand, and slowly channeled his vital energy into her body to help her recover.
Feeling the extreme coldness of her hands, a sense of pity welled up within me.
"Don't worry, Miss Xiaoxi will be alright," the Goddess of Wushan comforted her from the side.
Zaun, however, was not so optimistic. Xiao Xi had been used as the "main medicine" for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and no one knew how much damage her soul had suffered.
Furthermore, after this incident, it's unknown whether it will trigger Xiao Xi's innate Evil Poison Holy Body.
Just then, Ji Xiaoxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and Zu An was overjoyed, gently calling her name.
After a while, Ji Xiaoxi finally opened her eyes. When she saw Zu An, her eyes were full of surprise and hesitation: "Brother Zu, am I dreaming?"
Zu An could no longer hold back and pulled her into his arms: "It's not a dream, it's alright, it's alright, Brother Zu will protect you."
Feeling that warm embrace, Ji Xiaoxi finally believed it was all real, and a genuine smile appeared on her face: "Just now, I felt like I was in a very scary place. My body felt so light, as if I was about to be swallowed by the darkness at any moment. I was so scared until I heard my older brother's voice in the distance. I felt like I had found someone to rely on, and that's how I didn't get lost in that dark space..."
Hearing her story, Zu'an felt even more heartbroken: "It's all over now. I'll always be by your side from now on."
Upon hearing the other person's words, Ji Xiaoxi blushed slightly, seemingly lost in thought. Just then, she noticed the Goddess of Wushan standing to the side and felt somewhat flustered. She wanted to push Zu An away but lacked the strength, so she could only smile shyly at the other person and say, "Sister Pei is here too."
"I am not Miss Pei." The Goddess of Wushan had never seen her before. Hearing her say this, she thought to herself that she really looked exactly like that Miss Pei, and became even more curious about the matter between her and Zu'an.
"Huh?" Ji Xiaoxi blinked, her eyes full of doubt, wondering if Sister Pei was angry with her.
Zu'an then explained the identity of the Goddess of Wushan to her, and her eyes lit up with surprise. She never expected that there would be two people in the world who looked so alike.
Xihe had already brought the Golden Crow Prince over and was about to thank Zu'an when suddenly a loud noise came from afar, and the entire Heavenly Palace shook.
Everyone was shocked: "What happened?"
"It seems there's something wrong with the formation that suppressed Zhuanxu before." Zu An vaguely remembered the Zhou Tian Xing Dou formation that he had just seen from afar.
The group rushed to the window and looked into the distance. They saw that many of the illusory stars in the sky were beginning to fall one by one, indicating that the entire formation was about to collapse.
Zuan said in a deep voice, "Let's leave here first."
It's hard to predict how Zhuanxu will treat them after he escapes. Not to mention the relationship between Xihe, the ten princes of Jinwu, and Dijun, which might cause him to take his anger out on them, he also has the aura of the Wu tribe now, and there is already some discord between the Wu and the Yao tribes.
Moreover, he didn't have a good impression of Zhuanxu. As the Heavenly Emperor, the entire Heavenly Court was somewhat out of control, and he did nothing while watching Dijun cause so much trouble.
The others naturally had no objections. Zuan picked Xiaoxi up by the knees and was about to leave when a divine light shot up from the distant formation, clearly indicating that the shackles had finally been broken.
Zhao Lingguan arrived with his men upon hearing the news, and exclaimed in shock and anger, "Where do you think you're going!"
With that, he brandished his giant axe and charged forward.
As a result, the figure in the divine light casually pressed down, and a huge palm descended from the sky, directly knocking Zhao Lingguan and his heavenly soldiers and generals down from the Heavenly Court. Then, the surrounding falling star fragments covered them, forming mountains that completely buried them.
Seeing this, Zu'an was completely stunned. Has Zhao Lingguan always been this brave?
Little did he know that Zhao Lingguan thought Di Jun was nearby, and that as long as he bought some time, Di Jun would come out, and then he would have made a great contribution. Little did he know that the Di Jun he had just met was actually Zu An.
At this moment, the figure in the divine light glanced in the direction of Zu An and the others, then took a step forward and appeared directly in the main hall the next second.
Zuan and the others immediately stopped what they were doing; it seemed they should have been a step too slow.
He was about to warn Xihe and the Goddess of Wushan to be careful when he discovered that the others seemed to be frozen in place, showing no reaction whatsoever.
