Chapter 477: No Return, the Princess's Shock

Ji Xuance had a dignified look, and his face showed no expression. "Sister, what do you want to see me about?"

Ji Huaxi hid the strange color in his heart and said calmly, "There were traces of demons in the myth battlefield before. I have been investigating these days and found that some of them are wandering in Zhongzhou. I wonder if you know about this."

"Is there such a thing?" A look of doubt appeared on Ji Xuance's face.

"Then I don't know..." Ji Huaxi did not continue to ask, but said seriously, "If that's the case, then you must be more cautious. Those demon descendants may be harmful to you."

"I will."

A melodious bell sounded from the deep palace.

The cold wind blew, and the landscape trees on both sides of the square outside rustled.

After a moment of silence, Ji Huaxi said, "There was an incident on the Wanyuan Plain before, and I dispatched the Imperial Guards to suppress it. Now the situation on the Mythology Battlefield has gradually stabilized, and there shouldn't be any problems for a while. These Imperial Guards are useless in my hands, so it's a good idea to keep them in the Imperial Palace so that I can take care of them."

As if in the shadow of reality, Ji Xuance's mouth flashed a cold smile, "Okay, let's do as you say."

"That's good." Ji Huaxi seemed relieved.

She sniffed her upturned nose and could smell the herbal scent that filled the Hall of Supreme Harmony. "You should take care of yourself and don't rush for progress."

"I know."

Ji Xuance seemed a little impatient, "Is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

Ji Huaxi shook his head, "Take care."

She nodded slightly to her brother on the throne, then turned and left. Her slender, fiery red back was like a flickering candle, gradually disappearing into the darkness of the square outside the door.

Crunch!

With an ancient friction sound, the bronze door slowly closed.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the firelight shone on Ji Xuance's face, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

"These damn guys smashed it!" He cursed under his breath, and the bronze wine bottle in his hand creaked.

After rejecting the invitations from the demon clans to cooperate, these bastards began to use tricks behind the scenes. They were deliberately exposing their whereabouts and slowly leaking the news of the transaction with them.

It's a very low-level and shameless trick, but it's useful.

If I don't take the initiative, Ji Huaxi will most likely make some unpredictable reactions.

What will she do when the truth comes out?
Imprison yourself?
Or, it would be better to just disable or kill yourself.

There was a flash of molten gold in Ji Xuance's pupils, and the bronze wine jar slowly approached his lips.

Snapped!
He exerted force with his fingers.

The wine glass, which was already severely deformed, exploded completely, and the blood-red wine spilled all over the floor.

Ji Xuance had a blank expression on his face. He slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on a dragon-shaped pillar on the side of the hall. Behind the dragon-shaped pillar was a shadow that seemed to be real, but as his eyes met with Ji Xuance's, the shadow dispersed a little. Then a figure walked out from behind. He was slender and tall, wearing a fiery red palace dress, with an awkward smile on his face.

It was Ji Huaxi.

Looking at Ji Xuance's changeable face, Ji Huaxi also felt very embarrassed.

She scratched her hair. "If I said I hadn't been here for a long time and accidentally took the wrong road, would you believe me?"

"What do you think?"

"..." Ji Huaxi lowered his head, "I came to give you something, but I forgot about it just now."

She reached into her long sleeves and took out a palm-sized wooden box. It was made of vermilion cherry wood with dark gold phoenix stripes on it. Although it was blocked by runes, when Ji Huaxi took it out, Ji Xuance still felt a rich and powerful vitality emanating from the small box.

"What is this?" A look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This thing should be able to help you heal your injuries. If it's not enough, come back to me." Ji Huaxi didn't explain. He left the wooden box in the void and turned away in a hurry.

Looking at the wooden box floating in the air, after a period of silence, Ji Xuance suddenly asked, "Why are you still here?"

His voice echoed in the empty hall, but there was no response.

Ji Xuance breathed a sigh of relief.

This time I really left, but suddenly I felt a little empty.

He drove such thoughts from his mind, stretched out his hand lightly, and the wooden box fell into his hand.

With a "pop", the lid opened, and the bright red blood reflected on Ji Xuance's face, and the breath of life instantly became more than a hundred times stronger. Inside the box was a vermilion pill, lying among the soft white feathers, with a faint scent of blood. With just one glance, Ji Xuance could tell that this pill was made by Ji Huaxi using his own martial arts blood marrow.

The remains of a phoenix have merged into her body, so her vitality is strong. However, she had already suffered a serious injury on the mythical battlefield. If she were to refine such a pill, it would definitely damage her foundation.

It's just a pity...

Ji Xuance's injuries have healed, so this kind of elixir is of little use to him. Bang!
He closed the box and put it aside.

The firelight in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was dim, but it could not dispel the coldness and loneliness that shrouded it.

Ji Xuance couldn't help but think of a long time ago when he followed his elder brother to go hunting. In the camp, he found a very beautiful and rare sable-tailed snow rabbit. He wanted to peel off its fur and give it to his father as a gift, so he chased it alone, but ended up getting lost in a foggy valley.

The surrounding trees are tall and straight, reaching into the sky, and their lush canopies block out the sky.

The rock walls are covered with moss and the environment is maddeningly quiet, but occasionally one can hear the roar of wild beasts in the distance.

He was terribly frightened.

The only person beside him was his elder sister who came with him.

Strangely enough, Ji Huaxi was also trembling with fear.

But when she held his hand, he suddenly calmed down.

Ji Xuance's thoughts slowly drifted away from his memories, and only then did he realize that a smile had unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, without him noticing.

……

……

……

Ji Huaxi left from the side corridor of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the smile on his face gradually faded and his eyes became gloomy.

This time, Ji Huaxi came to visit in name only, but in fact, he came with the intention of testing. Although he did not find any direct evidence of Ji Xuance's cooperation with the demons, from the side, some small details could not be covered up. In particular, although Ji Huaxi was not an assassin-type warrior who was good at stealth.

But as a genuine veteran world master, her spiritual cultivation is not weak at all.

After she left, she came back again.

Despite deliberately hiding his whereabouts, Ji Xuance was able to detect something.

This is really not something that a severely injured Earth Immortal Peak can do. Moreover, Ji Huaxi has also practiced the method left by the Martial Emperor, and can sense that the accumulated dragon energy in his brother should have dissipated a little. Compared to the peak, his strength should have decreased a lot, but at this time his mental strength has abnormally increased, which is very strange.

Ji Huaxi knew that the only person who could help him achieve this level was him.

They are nothing more than the demon dragon Su Heng, the demon kings, the adventers and some ancient beings in Changshengtian.

Among these four forces.

It is obviously impossible for Su Heng to have nothing better to do than to treat his brother's illness and injuries.

As for the remaining three, it would not be a wise move to cooperate with any of them.

"After all, mistakes have been made… Some mistakes still allow for repentance, but some mistakes, once made, will lead to eternal damnation." Ji Huaxi looked up at the sky in the distance. The sun had risen, probably around eight or nine in the morning, hanging in the sky, but it was unable to disperse the dark clouds. It was like a boiled egg, with only a hazy halo.

Under the lead-gray clouds, there are undulating houses, pavilions, and large vermilion tiles. They look very gorgeous, but not very popular.

Ever since the battle that broke through Huangtu Pass.

Although my father took several powerful men with him before he died, the violent battle also destroyed half of the royal city.

Wars broke out one after another. Zhongzhou used to be the best place in the world, but now this city is like an old man who is about to die, exuding a decadent atmosphere.

The wind blew from the distant city wall, lifting the princess's dark red hair and dark red skirt. Her face was delicate and flawless, and her pupils reflected the sun's glow. With the cultivation of a world master and the blood of a phoenix, she should be the most passionate woman in the world, but Ji Huaxi suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart.

"What happened?" Ji Huaxi frowned slightly, her heart full of bad premonitions.

"Report!"

A loud announcement.

A guard in black armor was running from the other end of the square.

"Bang!" Coming in front of Ji Huaxi, he placed his right hand heavily on his chest where his heart was, bowed and saluted, and then shouted, "Your Highness, there is an urgent letter from the front line!"

"What happened?" Ji Huaxi took the secret letter from the imperial guards and asked subconsciously, "Did something happen in the Wanyuan Plain again?"

"There is nothing strange in the Wanyuan Plain, but large numbers of insect swarms have appeared in various parts of the empire."

Every guard had been through the test and was 100% trustworthy. This guard obviously knew some inside information and had even seen such a scene with his own eyes. He swallowed his saliva and said with a look of fear that was difficult to conceal, "Those Zerg are slaughtering the people of the empire, destroying one city after another, leaving millions of corpses and rivers of blood."

"What!?" Ji Huaxi was shocked and subconsciously exerted force on the fingers holding the secret letter, leaving a blue and white mark on his knuckles.

She asked in disbelief, "What Zerg?"

"They are very similar to the monsters we saw on the Wanyuan Plain." The imperial guards replied.

Ji Huaxi felt dizzy. The Leviathan King Bug had been killed. The only one who could do this in the world was...
