Zhao Huai was located at the top of Daxia Imperial City, looking at the endless stream of people as small as ants, the Wei River passing through the city, and the flower boats docked under the bridge, and fell into deep thought.
A lot of things can change in one year.
After several years of seclusion, I don’t know how the current situation will develop.
He landed slowly, with a detached temperament.
It aroused the glances of many pedestrians on the street.
"How many years is it now?"
Zhao Huai found a dealer on the roadside and asked intently.
The other party saw his dress and came from the air again. He was definitely a monk with high cultivation level. He did not dare to neglect and said nervously:
"Seven years of Longxing."
"The seventh year of Longxing." Zhao Huai murmured softly, and then thought: "The year I retreated was the second year of Longxing. In other words, I stayed in retreat for five years, which means that it took six years for the small world to pass outside. One year."
Even if it is five years, it cannot be underestimated.
Five years ago, the various states and lands had already begun to see signs of other worlds, indicating that a war was likely to break out.
"Where's the Empress of Daxia? Why isn't she in the capital?"
Zhao Huai continued to ask.
"I don't know about this."
"This senior should have been out of seclusion not long ago, and he doesn't know much about today's things."
At this time, the voice of a passing monk came from beside Zhao Huai. He turned to look at him. A young monk dressed in brocade robes said seriously:
"Since the Empress of Daxia came to the throne, she was wise and martial, and managed to maintain peace for a year. There were many rumors, saying that the Empress had given birth to an heir. The commotion in Daxia was finally subsided, and King Changning started to make trouble again. It seems like four years have passed since he established his own business, backed by the Demon Sect, and had many armies at his disposal.
At that time, the empress sent troops to quell the rebellion, but was blocked by the Northern Wolf Empire. After many obstacles, the matter was still in vain.
The reason why the empress is not in the capital now is because a big event happened in Xizhou. Three years ago, a large number of demons appeared in Xizhou and Beizhou. Many small countries in Xizhou were destroyed by them. The Shinra Empire was also in a state of distress. At that time, The newspapers in Daxia Residence are full of these news.
As early as six months ago, the imperial court had announced to the world that the Shinra Empire in Xizhou was completely defeated by the demon clan, the eldest princess of Shinra was made a prisoner, and all the royal family in the capital was cast into Jingguan. The next step is to target Daxia. The empress then took charge of the army to fight against the invasion of the demon clan in Xizhou. "
"Is there an emergency in Xizhou?"
Zhao Huai frowned. He didn't expect that in five years, the Shenluo Empire would be destroyed.
Could it be said that all the altars in the wild world have been destroyed?
Has Xizhou become the base camp of the demon clan?
It seems that the situation is already very pessimistic.
"Thank you."
After Zhao Huai thanked the young monk, he couldn't keep calm and flew away in the air, heading towards the Great Yan in the south.
Before heading to Xizhou, he planned to take a look at the current situation of Dayan. Daxia was facing the invasion of demons, so how could Dayan start well and end well.
At this time, Dayan could not stand idly by.
After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Zhao Huai traveled very quickly and arrived at Nanyu Mansion in no time.
In the sky above Nanyu Mansion, the smoke and waves are confusing, and the ancient river flows.
Unspeakably bleak.
Zhao Huai fell at the gate of the manor with a heavy heart.
The soldiers stationed at Dayan originally wanted to shout a word or two, but when they saw the appearance of the visitor, their eyes showed disbelief, and they all shouted:
"His Royal Highness is back!"
"It's really His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The news quickly reached the ears of Song Zhishu in the mansion.
He quickly brought people out to greet him, folded his hands into fists, bowed and saluted:
"Zhishu Song has met His Highness!"
Facing the excited Song Zhishu, Zhao Huai was also filled with emotions.
Five years have passed, Song Zhishu's temperament has become more and more calm, and he has changed from a young man to a middle-aged man.
"Your Highness, many major events have happened in the world during the years you have been in seclusion."
Song Zhishu sighed and said helplessly:
"Five years ago, Great Yan and Great Xia signed a truce agreement, which was regarded as a break with the people. However, Granny Su Li, Zhou Ping, Dongfang Xuan and other Yan generals investigated and found that the Heaven and Earth Sacrifice in Xizhou had long been destroyed, and it had not been revealed all this time. , just to preserve its strength, the Shenluo Empire has been destroyed, and in the land of hundreds of countries, the only one still struggling to support it is the Emperor Luo Dynasty with the longest history."
Zhao Huai nodded and said solemnly: "I just learned that the demon clan in the wild world is more cunning than we thought. I thought there was still a chance to make amends and asked Granny Su Li to lead people to suppress it. Unexpectedly, the other party It has been hiding its strength, but now it breaks out and has captured most of the Western Province."
"not only that."
Song Zhishu said solemnly: "Now many miracles have appeared in Xizhou, with the intention of harvesting the incense of the people in Xizhou. It has become a place of right and wrong, with gods walking everywhere, and there is chaos."
"miracle?"
This word caught Zhao Huai's attention.
"Yes, the ancient gods believed in by the four major cults have all appeared. It seems that the rules of this world have been loosened. The gods of all worlds are watching with eager eyes. This is a big crisis in the world of immortality."
While Song Zhishu was explaining, a bright red blood cloud appeared on the horizon, rolling in with a frightening aura.
"What an evil smell."
Zhao Huai frowned.
"That's the Blood Demon King's army."
Song Zhishu explained.
"The Blood Demon King?"
Zhao Huai looked at the direction of the blood cloud, which seemed to be coming from the north. It turned out that the territory of Daxia was the location of the ten states in the north.
"Your Highness, do you still remember the blood demon discovered in the manor five years ago?"
"Of course I remember."
"The blood demon is a kind of monster that comes from the underworld. Three years ago, the Immortal Sect sent a large number of disciples to investigate the Heaven and Earth Altar, and at the same time suppressed the demons that overflowed from the altar. For this reason, the ancestors of all parties have awakened and are stationed in the Immortal Sect to prevent the demons. At this time, the sect will start a war against the immortal sect.”
Song Zhishu paused and looked at Xueyun with a sigh in his eyes.
"These blood clouds have appeared in the north a few years ago. Occasionally, blood demons will appear to harass the world. Some of them are powerful blood demons. They have combat power that is not inferior to that of the Yuan Ying deity monks. We call them For the Blood Demon King."
Hearing this, Zhao Huai muttered:
"It seems that the current Northern Wolf Empire is also in danger. The first step for the Blood Demon to invade Zhongzhou is to step through the Northern Wolf Empire."
He seemed to remember something, turned his head and asked, "Grandma Su Li, where are Dongfang Xuan and the others, aren't they in Nanyu Mansion?"
"They have already gone to Xizhou to resist the invasion of the demon clan."
Song Zhishu replied.
"Hasn't Lingshan Immortal Sect taken any remedial measures in the past five years?"
Zhao Huai learned that the current war between heaven and earth in the immortal world was about to break out. He was troubled and confused at the same time.
Song Zhishu shook his head, "Both sides are equally matched in strength. Take Xizhou as an example. Countless demon kings suddenly appeared, as well as many powerful demon emperors. Even if the Ancestor of Transformation God takes action, he can't say that he can completely win. "
"Before the truth about the altar was announced, many disciples of the Immortal Sect were trapped in Xizhou and were unable to escape. Among them, Gu Tianji, the Taoist Immortal Temple, has been missing for a year."
"Gu Tianji is missing."
Zhao Huai felt very heavy when he heard the news.
In any case, Gu Tianji also helped him a lot, but now his life or death is unknown.
Song Zhishu sighed: "That's why the Empress of Great Xia issued an order to eliminate demons, ordering monks from all over the world to go to Xizhou to eliminate demons. Your Highness, Dayan has tried his best and sent many monks, but Zhongzhou is still in danger."
Zhao Huai thought for a while and said:
"For now, you are still in charge of the government affairs of Dayan and ensure internal stability. I will handle external matters. No matter whether it is the wild world or the underworld, it cannot threaten the millions of people in Zhongzhou."
"As commanded."
After Zhao Huai's explanation, he didn't stop too much. After taking a look at the blood cloud, he officially flew towards Xizhou.
On the way, he passed by a small city on the northern edge, and a solid blood cloud landed here.
And this city was filled with smoke and smoke, and it was obvious that it had been invaded.
Many people fled from the city gate in panic.
Figures with bloody eyes flew out of the city at high speed. Their bodies split open in the middle, revealing a row of fangs. They swallowed a man into their belly. They were undoubtedly monsters.
Zhao Huai slowly landed on the ground, and the aura belonging to Nascent Soul was released.
After dispelling the blood cloud, he grabbed the blood demon's body with one hand and squeezed it hard.
"boom!"
The opponent's body exploded and turned into blood mist.
But it's not over yet, the blood residue is still squirming, trying to assemble.
Zhao Huai narrowed his eyes, raised his two fingers side by side, and pointed toward the sky.
A purple divine thunder fell from the sky, illuminating the city.
Sections of the city wall are covered in it, like a miracle.
