Yun Zheng's expression changed slightly when she heard this.
The friends were even more shocked. The Qiongtian Continent was actually controlled by Rong Tianji?!
Lei Ao wanted to leap onto the spirit boat, but his spiritual energy had long been depleted, causing his face to turn pale. On his way here, he had not only been hunted but also encountered many dangers.
He originally wanted to find the Emperor, but after arriving in the imperial capital, he found that the Emperor had taken Qingfeng and the others to the Nine Gates of the Primordial World, and the senior clan member had also set off to return to the Qiongtian Continent the day before, so they just missed each other.
Fortunately, when he was at his wit's end, he happened to meet the emperor and empress!
If the Emperor and Empress are here, then the Emperor must be here too.
Yun Zheng frowned and said, "Go down and bring Lei Ao up first."
"Okay!" Mo Jing was the first to agree. He quickly mobilized the spiritual power in his body and jumped down, helped the seriously injured Lei Ao up, and then took him onto the spiritual boat.
As soon as Lei Ao boarded the spirit boat, Yan Chen brought him some pills to feed him.
Yan Chen said, "Protector Lei Ao, please take the healing pill first, and then tell me what happened slowly."
Lei Ao also knew that his condition was not good, and without time to say thank you, he simply picked up the pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
The pill enters the throat and its medicinal effect gradually spreads throughout the body.
It made his severely injured body relax and his breathing became less rapid and disordered.
Lei Ao looked around but couldn't find the Emperor himself, but instead found the geniuses from the three continents lying on the deck.
Lei Ao swallowed hard and looked at the girl in front of him. Seeing that she was wearing an eye protection band, he was stunned. What happened to the Empress's eyes?!
"Empress, may I ask where the Emperor is now?"
Yun Zheng said, "He's not here right now, and he won't be back in the short term. If you have anything to say, you can tell me first."
Lei Ao's emotions tensed upon hearing this. He pursed his lips and carefully considered his words before saying, "Empress, on the sixth day after you set out for Shouyun Continent, Rong Tianji's evil ambitions gradually became apparent. He sent people to seize the students of Qiongtian Academy and then used them to threaten the various major forces."
"He made all the major forces submit to his Scarlet Sky Divine Wind Palace. Most of the smaller forces have joined the Scarlet Sky Divine Wind Palace, but the royal family, Mozhou Island, and our Shuo Palace are naturally unwilling to do so."
"As for the Celestial Clan, they had already formed an alliance with the Scarlet Sky Divine Wind Palace."
At this point, Lei Ao's tone became angry.
"So they took advantage of the absence of our Emperor, the clan elders, and the royal clan leader Huangfu Hao and others to attack us. This open and covert struggle lasted for nearly a month, and in the end, we were defeated."
"Because many small forces have gathered together and are continuously attacking our major forces, we simply cannot withstand such a long war of attrition. Moreover, many small forces and organizations are forced to attack us because their descendants are held hostage by the Scarlet Sky Divine Wind Palace..."
Lei Ao paused, his expression dejected as he continued, "Now, Shuo Palace, Mozhou Island, and the entire royal family have fallen. Yun Peng fled with the remaining men, and I came alone to Shouyun to find you, but on the way, I was surrounded and attacked."
Yun Zheng and her friends became serious when they heard this.
It seems that Rong Tianji had planned this in advance.
No wonder he didn't send an envoy to Shouyun from the beginning. This was his plan. If more powerful envoys had been sent, Qiongtian would have fallen even sooner.
Mu Yin looked up, "Could it be that this old guy wants to unify the continent?"
Zhongli Wuyuan frowned and continued, "I'm afraid he wants more than just unifying the continent."
Mo Jing said coldly, "This kind of person is not worthy of being Brother Rong's father! Let's go back now and kill Rong Tianji."
"Don't be anxious." Yun Zheng's tone became a little deeper, and the scene instantly quieted down. She looked thoughtfully at the geniuses who fainted on the deck, and an idea emerged in her mind.
She only said, "Let's not go into the imperial capital for now. Let's turn around and drive."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qiu immediately guessed something and nodded.
"Okay, I'll turn around now."
Yu Qiu went up to control the spirit boat and headed in the opposite direction of the imperial capital.
Yun Zheng told her plan to her friends, and they all agreed with this approach. After all, it would be difficult to fight against most of the forces on a continent with just the strength of a few of them.
…
At night, the geniuses woke up one after another.
"Awake?" a deliberately hoarse voice came.
“Oh my god!”
Sima Xun looked in horror at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him. The enlarged face made him tremble all over.
Only after the young man's head moved back slightly did Sima Xun finally recognize him.
He breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Jing, what are you...what are you doing? You're scaring me to death!"
Mo Jing smiled and said, "It's okay. I just noticed that you looked a bit ugly when you were asleep, so I came to check on you."
Sima Xun's eyes widened.
This is a personal attack!
He's handsome, how could he be ugly? When did Mo Jing become so boring?
The other geniuses also woke up. They looked around and found that they had left the abandoned continent and returned to Shouyun Continent. They couldn't help but feel happy.
"We're back!"
"We finally escaped death!"
While they were excited, there were a few people who were unusually silent, making it impossible to ignore their presence.
Yuwen Zhou asked tentatively, "Fellow Daoist Yun, what happened?"
Yun Zheng smiled slightly and said straight to the point, "I saved you once, shouldn't you repay me for my kindness?"
This drew everyone's attention to her.
A subtle premonition came to my mind.
Fan Yuer smiled and said, "I like that you are so direct. I should repay the favor of saving my life. As long as it is not something that is against the will of heaven, just tell me, and I, Fan Yuer, will agree."
"Me too." Yuwen Zhou smiled.
Murong Heng bowed towards her and said, "If it weren't for you, Fellow Daoist Yun, we wouldn't be able to come back at all. Just tell me."
Feng Yuanxiao's expression slightly restrained, "You say."
Other geniuses also expressed their willingness to help.
Yun Zheng looked at them and said calmly, "The Qiongtian Continent is now occupied by a powerful force, so we need your help to rescue some people. The road ahead is dangerous, and I hope you will consider it carefully. Of course, you also have the right to refuse."
When the Qiongtian geniuses heard this, they were instantly shocked.
Which force has occupied the Qiongtian Continent? !
Yuwen Zhou's eyes moved slightly. He glanced around and found that Emperor Zun, Qingfeng and Mo Yu were missing, but there was a young man with a weak breath. He was very confused.
He first asked, "Excuse me, where is the Emperor?"
If a person as powerful as the Emperor was present, he wouldn't need help from these people at all, but as luck would have it, the Emperor was missing.
It's hard not to be confused.
