Zuan frowned: "You are all seriously injured now, you should go back and rest as soon as possible. Leave the rest to me."
Soren Shi shook her head slightly: "I only have superficial wounds. I just took your medicine and I've almost recovered. So many of our demon warriors have perished here. I can't let them die without knowing why. I need to find out what went wrong. This is my responsibility as the princess of the Soren family."
At this moment, the guards around her also echoed her sentiments. They had all witnessed the tragic death of their former comrade-in-arms and were filled with anger and a desire for revenge. In particular, they had heard from Zuan's words that this matter might be a conspiracy.
At this moment, Sorenshi said to them, "You should go back first; your injuries are too severe."
Upon hearing this, the guards became anxious and were about to say something when the princess said, "Moreover, you have an important mission: to pass on the intelligence from here and to meet up with the Yun family, Rong family, Wu family, and our Solon family's follow-up troops, so that they don't repeat our mistakes."
Upon hearing this, the guards realized the importance of the mission and stopped insisting.
Zuan then said, "Princess, you should go back too. So many people have risked their lives to protect you, how can you take any more risks?"
Soren Shi said in a deep voice, "Our Soren family, whether men or women, are all renowned warriors. How could we be afraid of death? If those people have a spirit in heaven and know that they protected a coward, they will not rest in peace."
At this moment, the other guards also bowed and said, "Please, Regent, bring the Princess with you."
Zuan was in a bit of a dilemma. To be honest, he didn't want to bring Sorenshi along as a burden.
Sorenshi seemed to have guessed his thoughts and hurriedly added, "The Regent has just arrived and is not yet familiar with this sealed land. I can act as his guide."
Zuan nodded inwardly. She was indeed a smart woman. Now that things had come to this point, he naturally couldn't refuse any longer: "Then I'll trouble you."
Soren Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She then bid farewell to her subordinates and tearfully said goodbye to A-Kuan's body, instructing her men to take him back to the Soren family cemetery for a proper burial.
Watching the guards disappear into the snowstorm, Soren Shi wiped away his tears and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept Brother Zu waiting."
"The princess is so sincere and genuine; she is truly admirable," Zu An remarked.
Sorenshi smiled sadly: "Compared to what they have done for me, what I have done is nothing."
Zuan remained silent; she had just experienced the complete annihilation of her troops, and any words of comfort would be futile.
Soren Shi composed himself and said, "Brother Zu, before the troops were divided, the Little Demon Queen's central army headed due north."
Zuan nodded and flew straight north.
Soren Shi hurriedly followed. As a princess of the demon race, she naturally possessed many magical artifacts that aided her flight. However, her speed was still considerably slower than Zu'an's.
After a while, Zuan flew back with a frown: "How about I take you with me?"
Sorenshi knew she was too slow and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Thank you for your trouble."
Without saying a word, Zuan grabbed her waist and soared into the sky.
Sorenshi didn't expect him to rush so fiercely. He lost his balance and instinctively grabbed the other person's arm.
It took her a while to get used to the feeling of flying at high speed. Looking at the ground rushing past her feet, she secretly admired her brother Zu. His cultivation was truly unfathomable. No wonder he was able to suppress all forces in the royal court back then.
The biting wind around her raised a layer of goosebumps on her skin, making the warmth and comfort around her waist all the more noticeable.
She was beautiful from a young age and of noble birth, so she had no shortage of suitors. Therefore, she was very careful in this regard and never had any physical contact with men.
But for some reason, she couldn't muster her usual reserve and defensiveness in front of Zuan.
The other person hugged her casually, and she didn't resist being hugged, as if everything was so natural.
However, the heat in her waist gave her a tingling sensation, and she couldn't help but secretly glance at the man next to her. Seeing his handsome face, which was like a marble sculpture, a faint blush rose on her face.
Zuan did not miss the girl's little movements beside him. He had to admit that Princess Soren was indeed beautiful. Even though she had been chased and looked haggard these days, her beauty was still undeniable. Now, with a rosy blush on her face, she looked even more charming.
However, Zu'an is no longer the same as before. Now he is more worried about the Little Demon Queen and Yu Yanluo, about the safety of the main force of the demon race, about whether the demons from other worlds will invade on all fronts, and whether the world will face the end of the world...
Faced with these matters, the allure of women could not stir even the slightest ripple in his heart.
However, in order to ease the other party's embarrassment, he still spoke up: "Princess, could you tell me in detail what happened a few days ago, and what exactly you are looking for?"
Soren Shi's expression turned serious. As a noblewoman of the demon race, she was naturally not the kind of woman who would be infatuated with love: "We split up, not only to search for the Second Prince and his troops, but also to search for the true sealed place."
"The true sealed land?" Zaun was taken aback, as this was the first time he had heard this term.
“I only heard about it after I got here,” Sorenshi replied. “This is a secret known only to the Demon Emperors of all generations. The Little Demon Queen is only qualified to receive this information because she assists the new Demon Emperor. This time, the situation was urgent, and she disregarded ancestral rules, summoning all our leaders to discuss this matter in secret.”
"Within the sealed land, there is another true sealed land, the place where the ancient powerful beings sealed otherworldly demons—back then, everyone called them the Ghost Clan. However, as time passed, the seal loosened, and many demons secretly slipped out. They slowly eroded the surrounding territory, and by the time the demons discovered it, it was too late."
