"A mysterious powerful figure intervened and nearly destroyed Blue Star."
"All the strongest warriors of China fought against them, but none survived."
"Civilization collapsed, genocide ensued, and overnight, billions of lives turned to dust..."
Xu Xiwang recounted the whole story word by word.
"hiss--"
After hearing this, Lanxi couldn't help but gasp, her face turning deathly pale.
Xu Xiwang's voice was hoarse and low. He looked at Lanxi and slowly said, "Now, do you understand?"
Lanxi's body trembled violently. He looked at Xu Xiwang, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The annihilation of billions of lives... What does that even mean?!
"How could this be...? My Lan family has many powerful members, and they're all dead?!"
Where is my father? Where is my mother?
Lanxi suddenly grabbed Xu Xiwang's shoulder and excitedly pressed him for answers, her tone almost frantic.
Xu Xiwang patted Lanxi's arm to soothe him, "They..."
Xu Xiwang didn't finish his sentence, but Lanxi already understood. He staggered back several steps, almost falling to the ground, his lips trembling, "No, impossible! This is impossible..."
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
He roared hysterically, as if he were insane.
As a scion of a super-powerful family, he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. The Lan family's resources favored him, so he never encountered any difficulties. But now he is being told that the Lan family has been wiped out!
"Brother Lan!"
Han Yijian stepped forward to support Lanxi, his expression somber. "Please accept my condolences."
Lord Long Hong of the Long Mansion walked heavily to the side of the group.
"Lord of the Manor..."
Xu Xiwang and Han Yijian bowed to each other, while Long Hong waved his hand slightly, his eyes fixed on Long Aotian's corpse, his eyes slightly red.
"My son..."
Long Hong reached out and picked up Long Aotian, feeling his coldness. His heart ached, and tears streamed down his face.
He was such a powerful figure, traversing the north and south, looking down upon all living beings, yet now he weeps like a child.
Xu Xiwang and Han Yijian exchanged a glance, their feelings extremely complicated. They didn't know how to comfort him, so they could only remain silent.
A moment later, Long Hong picked up Long Aotian, turned and left, his voice hoarse, "Thank you for bringing back my son's remains. Come with me."
In the square of the Hundred Clans Royal City, thousands of coffins were densely packed together.
In each coffin lay a corpse, all of them human warriors who had died in battle here.
Long Hong placed Long Aotian's body in the rightmost coffin, then wiped the blood and tears from his face. He looked up at the Hundred Clans Royal City again, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "How laughable that I, Long Hong, lost my son in my old age! I will make you all pay the price to comfort Aotian's spirit!"
"roar!"
"hold head high!"
Above the capital of the Hundred Clans, the roars of dragons and tigers echoed.
"I, Long Hong, the Lord of the Dragon Mansion, swear this oath!"
"We will surely slaughter all the tribes in this land of sin, leaving not a single chicken or dog alive!"
For a time, all the major races in the Sinful Land were plunged into fear, living in constant anxiety.
"Kid, you've arrived."
A hand patted Xu Xiwang's shoulder; it was none other than the Celestial Saint Lord. He looked at Xu Xiwang with a smile, "I thought you'd stay in the Upper Realm as a spoiled young master, but now I see your strength has increased dramatically!"
Xu Xiwang's eyebrows twitched. "Your Majesty, please stop teasing me."
The Heavenly Saint Lord glanced at the three women following behind Xu Xiwang, his eyes darting around, and chuckled to himself.
He stroked his beard and chuckled, saying, "Xu Xiwang, you're really not as good as your old man. Your old man only loved your mother back then, but you have enough beauties around you to form an army! You even dared to take that venomous woman, Yao Ji, under your command!"
Xu Xiwang's lips twitched. "I don't have that kind of relationship with them, Your Majesty, please don't play matchmaker!"
The Celestial Saint Lord, with an air of "I see through everything," said, "Alright, alright, don't be shy. I won't make fun of you. But you've come at the right time, kid. Give me a hand!"
"oh?"
Xu Xiwang asked in confusion, "How can I help His Majesty?"
"I see you're incredibly strong now, kid. You could kill Ji Shi in just three moves!"
The Celestial Saint King said calmly, "Tomorrow, the Hundred Clans Royal City and the Land of Sin will have a duel. The Land of Sin has a prodigy who is half a step Saint Emperor. Go and take care of him."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiwang was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He coughed and said, "Your Majesty, are you joking with me?!"
"Huh? Do I look like I'm joking?"
The Celestial Saint Lord glared at him, "I never lie."
"Holy crap..."
Xu Xiwang's face twitched violently a few times, and he cursed through gritted teeth, "Are you trying to send me to my death?! I'm only at the third level of the Saint Realm!"
"I trust you."
The Celestial Saint King smiled and said, "You are the chosen one. With you, we are sure to win this battle!"
Xu Xiwang remained silent, but instead said to the Lord of the Dragon Palace, "Lord of the Palace, I would like to have a word with you."
Long Hong knelt silently before the grave with his head bowed.
"Let's talk another day. I'll settle you in first."
Upon seeing this, the Celestial Saint King sighed softly, "Bai Ling."
A beautiful young woman appeared out of thin air and stood respectfully beside the Heavenly Saint King.
Xu Xiwang looked at the person and recognized him as an old acquaintance!
Bai Ling, the granddaughter of Venerable Bai.
But when I saw Bai Ling again, she seemed like a completely different person.
The willful and capricious Bai Ling of the past was nowhere to be seen. Her face was cold, she was dressed in plain clothes, and her eyes were devoid of any emotion.
Is this growth? Or... change?
"Bai Ling, how is the battle going in the Land of Sin?"
