"Finally out!"
Jun Wuxie looked at the blue sky and breathed in the fresh air, feeling refreshed.
A few months ago, the depression in the secret realm of the Ancient Corpse Burial Land was swept away.
He looked carefully and found that the area he was currently in was located on the edge of the Longling Mountains.
It is not far from the place where the Sun True Lotus was captured.
The fiery red dotted on the blue sky is enough to prove the current location.
He rushed to the sky and looked down at the mountains, rivers and land.
A sea of fiery red magma came into view, located just below the fiery red patch on the sky.
There is no fire dragon, no true sun lotus, the magma sea no longer continues to spread, and the temperature is not as terrifying as before.
Now, the temperature is slightly higher than that of an ordinary magma sea, but even so, the magma on its edges shows no signs of cooling and solidification.
It seems that this magma sea will exist for a long, long time.
"Our current location is not far from the magma sea."
Jun Wuxie landed and looked at Mu Xuelan and Lilia.
They were all silent.
Mu Xuelan looked into the distance quietly. The mountain wind ruffled her hair and blew up her ice blue Tencel dress.
Lilia stared at Jun Wuxie, her ethereal beautiful eyes filled with moisture.
"What's wrong?"
Jun Wuxie took two steps forward and held Lilia's delicate, elf-like cheeks.
"Mr. Jun, will you remember Lilia?"
There was a touch of sadness and deep reluctance between her eyebrows.
"If you had not appeared in time, I would have been trapped in a tight siege if I had not been able to escape from the magma sea. For forty-nine days in the secret realm of the Passion Tribulation, we have been lingering day by day. Even though I am cold and iron, I cannot cut off love and sex. How can I forget it? you?"
"Your words are enough." Lilia smiled, as pure and innocent as a mountain elf, but tears fell from her ethereal eyes. She immediately hugged Jun Wuxie and hugged her tightly. Standing, slightly choked with sobs, he said: "Master Jun, take care! I'll see you again someday!"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Jun Wuxie to speak, she let go of her hand, turned around suddenly, and disappeared from the end of her sight like a stream of light.
Jun Wuxie opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Even if he said it, Lilia couldn't hear it.
"She's gone, are you leaving too?"
Mu Xuelan's slightly cold voice was a little erratic.
"Yes, it's time to go back and take a look. It's been more than four months since we left the sect."
Jun Wuxie looked at Mu Xuelan, who was standing quietly with her back turned to him, and felt that her mood seemed to be very uneasy at the moment.
"I want to stay here for a while."
"Ah?" Jun Wuxie was stunned and said, "Why?"
"My soul has not fully recovered yet, and it may take some time. I want to wait until I fully recover before returning to the sect." Mu Xuelan suddenly turned around and looked at him and said, "It may not be safe here, but you are willing to stay. Will you protect me?"
"This... how about you come back to Zongwang Mountain with me, where you can also repair your soul."
Jun Wuxie wanted to say that it was not safe here, but you were a Half-Step Saint.
Even if the soul has not been completely restored, there is no forbidden law here, and ordinary ferocious beasts can't do anything to you. If you meet the Beast King, it will be useless for him to stay, right?
Repairing the soul, where can't it be done, must it stay in the Longling Mountains?
Mu Xuelan didn't speak, but looked at him quietly with her clear and beautiful eyes that seemed to be condensed with ice and snow.
After a long time, she sighed slightly and said: "Forget it, just pretend I never said it. Today, you and I are drifting in the wind, but it will be different when we meet tomorrow."
"Mu Xuelan, do you have to say it so harshly?"
Jun Wu Xie was helpless, this woman was too strong on the outside and had a soft mouth but a soft heart.
He cut off hundreds of kilograms of top-quality spiritual crystals from the Temple of Eternal Life and handed them to her, saying: "This should be of great use to you. I hope we can meet again someday. You are already a Holy Sect."
Mu Xuelan did not refuse, and put the top-grade spiritual crystal into the ring. Then she took out a brocade handkerchief with a snow-white background and an ice lotus embroidered in the middle from her arms, and said, "I know you are not short of resources. I don't have any." What a precious thing. You saved me several times, and I gave this brocade handkerchief to you as a repayment of your kindness."
Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment, holding the brocade handkerchief, which still retained Mu Xuelan's faint warmth and her unique fragrance.
In addition to ice lotus, the brocade handkerchief is also embroidered with two beautiful characters - Xuelan.
"Jun Wuxie, take care of yourself. If we say goodbye today, the mountains, rivers, and years will be forgotten, and we will forget each other for the rest of our lives..."
Mu Xuelan's voice was erratic, a little trembling, a little melancholy, and a little decisive.
After she finished speaking, she drifted away, like a banished immortal riding on the wind, leaving only a faint lingering fragrance.
"This love passed away in vain like a dream. Isn't it real after all? Can you really make the past a dream without a trace?"
Jun Wuxie whispered to himself, feeling a little complicated.
Looking back on these days and every moment with Mu Xuelan, now that she has left her decisive words and left decisively, I actually feel a sense of loss in my heart.
"Say the most heartless words and endure the most difficult parting. This is you Mu Xuelan..."
Jun Wuxie shook his head, looking at the brocade handkerchief in his hand, he really wanted to laugh but felt helpless.
That stubborn woman said heartless words, but gave him her personal belongings. What a contradictory psychology it was...
"You have moved your heart after all."
He looked at the direction in which Mu Xuelan disappeared, jumped ten thousand meters away, and quickly disappeared at the end of the world.
…
The capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still the same as before.
Jun Wuxie saw the city from a distance. It was bustling with people, busy with traffic, prosperous and lively.
He did not go back directly to Zongwang Mountain, but went to the Capital Palace.
After not seeing each other for several months, Ji Liufeng became much more haggard. He was in his prime, and even had some gray hair on his temples.
He was sitting in the imperial study room, holding his temple with one hand. There were dozens of memorials stacked several feet high on the table, and there was a look of worry on his eyebrows.
"who?"
Feeling someone coming, he suddenly raised his head, his tired and dim eyes instantly brightened like lights.
"Wu... Wuxie!"
Ji Liufeng was so excited that he lost the dignity of the emperor, suddenly stood up from the table and chair, and stumbled forward.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? You don't need to be so excited to see me, right?"
Jun Wuxie hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Wuxie!" Ji Liufeng's lips trembled, his whole body was trembling, and he said excitedly: "Beilan, Beilan..."
"What happened to Beilan?"
Jun Wuxie's heart sank.
"Beilan was captured by Xiao Tianming of the Xiao clan!"
After saying these words, Ji Liufeng seemed to be drained of all his strength in an instant and sat down on the ground.
"Who? Xiao Tianming?"
Jun Wuxie was shocked and angry!
Why did Xiao Tianming want to arrest Ji Beilan? What was his purpose in doing so?
This news shocked him. He never expected that such a thing would happen.
"When did this happen?"
"A few days ago..."
Ji Liufeng explained the information he knew in detail.
The more Jun Wuxie listened, the colder his eyes became.
"Wu Xie, you may think that I am selfish, but no one can save Beilan except you. Beilan is my most beloved son and the future king of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
"Your Majesty, please don't get excited. I don't blame you. This incident was originally caused by me, and that's why Bei Lan was involved in the grudge between me and Xiao Tianming. Don't worry, I will go to the ancient city of Donghuang to bring the enemy to justice. Beilan is brought back to the capital intact!"
"Thank you Wuxie! However, Xiao Tianming is very powerful. You must plan your trip carefully and don't fall into the trap he set..."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Xiao Tianming's move is just to prove himself and to use me as a stepping stone. Since he asked me to go to Donghuang Ancient City, he probably wants to fight me to the death. There will be countless people While watching the battle, the top management of the Xiao family did not dare to act rashly."
"By the way, how has the war with Xilin been going in the past few months?"
Ji Liufeng sighed heavily and said: "While you were away, Xilin had already conquered our three defense lines. Those three defense lines were tens of thousands of miles across, hundreds of important cities, and thousands of military arteries were destroyed in one day. , our Zhou soldiers suffered over 30 million casualties..."
"How come it's so fast?"
Jun Wuxie frowned, the strength of Xilin's army exceeded his expectation.
"Xilin fought on multiple fronts and swept through all the countries. They changed the previous policy of massacre and incorporated prisoners of war from all countries into the Xilin army, which increased the number of their army tenfold! They launched a full-line attack on our great Zhou Dynasty and invested more than five troops. Tens of millions of people!”
"Where is Xilin's army now?"
"It's less than 20,000 miles away from the capital..."
Ji Liufeng was exhausted mentally and physically. He told Jun Wuxie that today, in Dazhou, nearly two-thirds of the country has been lost, and the number of people who died in the war has reached more than 700 million.
But in the area captured by Xilin's army, all the cities, villages and towns were turned into ruins of death, with no survivors left!
"According to their progress, I'm afraid they will soon reach the capital. Once the capital is lost, there will be no solid cities and no danger to defend in the remaining territory. The entire Zhou Dynasty will be completely fell in a very short time. …"
"Xuanjia Army, what's the situation now?"
Ji Liufeng's lips trembled and he said in a deep voice: "I strongly support the expansion of the Xuanjia Army. At its strongest, the number of the Xuanjia Army reached three million, consisting of one hundred general camps with 30,000 men. To this day, Many general camps of the Xuanjia Army have been destroyed and rebuilt several times! Due to the fall of a large number of territories, the population has dropped sharply. Nowadays, soldiers have also become scarce, and the number of young and middle-aged people has dropped dramatically..."
"Xilin!"
Jun Wuxie clenched his fists. He could almost imagine what a hell on earth the occupied area was!
Xilin's army is so crazy that they leave no chickens or dogs behind wherever they go!
Even the defenseless old, weak, sick, and newborn babies cannot escape their slaughter!
Those beasts!
"Your Majesty, wait until I go to Donghuang to deal with Xiao Tianming and bring him back to Beilan! Don't worry, as long as I, Jun Wuxie, am not dead, Xilin's army will never be able to invade the capital!"
"Innocent, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, may have run out of energy, but I am not willing to give in. Even though I know the final outcome, I still want to fight to the end! Now, the resources of my Great Zhou Dynasty are blocked, and the war consumes fiercely. Although there are war resources prepared by you , but it will eventually run out. By then, the domestic resource output alone will be a drop in the bucket, and the people may not even have enough to eat..."
"I will find a way. Don't worry, Your Majesty. With me in everything, the Great Zhou Dynasty will never be exterminated!"
Jun Wuxie left these words and left.
His heart was heavy.
I didn't expect that after being away for several months, the situation would become this dangerous.
At present, the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger, and Xiao Tianming has captured Ji Beilan again.
"Anyone who offends me, whoever offends my relatives and friends, whoever offends my great Zhou will be punished!"
After leaving the palace, Jun Wuxie's heart boiled with murderous intent.
Xiao Tianming, it’s time for your life to come to an end!
