Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

Seeing that Xi Changfeng had been driven away by Su Mu, the mother and her two children dared not linger. They quickly packed their things, preparing to take the opportunity to escape and get away from this place of trouble.

Little did they know, they had already been locked onto by Su Mu's divine sense and had no chance of escape whatsoever.

With a single wave of his arm, Su Mu conjured up sword beams bathed in golden true fire, which rained down on the mother and her two children like a storm.

puff!puff!puff!

Three muffled thuds rang out in succession as the bodies of the mother and her two children were pierced by a golden sword beam, and blood gushed out.

The golden sword light, carrying golden true fire, instantly ignited their bodies, scorching their skin and souls, causing them unbearable pain.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Su Mu only needed to strike casually to end the lives of the mother and her two children without any suspense.

The three of them didn't even have a chance to struggle before they were engulfed by the true fire and gradually turned to ashes.

They didn't have anything of value on them. Su Mu glanced at them indifferently, then took flight and flew towards the palace without lingering any longer.

No sooner had Su Mu left than the experts from the Martial Arts Bureau and the imperial guards swarmed in, surrounding the Laifu Inn and beginning to arrest the remaining members of the Divine Judgment Organization and thoroughly investigate everything inside the inn.

This night was destined to be another turbulent one, and the imperial city was once again gripped by a tense atmosphere.

A desolate wilderness in the northern part of Huitai County.

A dazzling silver light appeared out of thin air in mid-air, and then quickly dissipated.

Xi Changfeng's figure appeared where the silver light had dissipated. He staggered, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered some backlash from activating the spatial talisman earlier.

Using the bright moonlight, he quickly surveyed his surroundings to determine his location, then leaped into the air again and sped northward.

Huitai County is located south of the Great Qian Imperial City, and Xi Changfeng is flying north at this time, clearly intending to return to the Great Qian Imperial City.

That's right, he's still not convinced!

Tonight's crushing defeat was because he was caught off guard by Su Mu and attacked by two low-grade earth-rank magic treasures, which restricted his movement speed. If it weren't for this, he would never have been in such a sorry state, let alone forced to use a spatial talisman to save his life.

Not only was he filled with resentment, but he was also filled with boundless rage. He vowed to get revenge, kill Su Mu with his own hands, and wash away the humiliation of today.

"As long as I'm not hit by Su Mu's strange finger technique, he can't hurt me at all!"

Xi Changfeng thought to himself, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Next time we fight, I must be careful of his green net; I can't let it restrict my movement speed again!"

Xi Changfeng sped along and soon flew out of Huitai County, still two hundred miles away from the capital of Daqian.

Just then, he suddenly sensed a strange energy fluctuation coming from the eastern horizon. Startled, he immediately stopped and looked up to investigate.

From the eastern horizon, an enormous warship was slowly approaching, moving at a slow speed but carrying a chilling sense of oppression.

The warship was a hundred feet long, about fifteen or sixteen feet wide, and ten feet high. It was bronze in color and covered with rust, yet it emitted billowing black smoke, making it look eerie and ferocious.

Rumble...

With a loud crash, the massive warship plummeted to the ground, creating a huge crater.

The surrounding earth trembled violently, as if an earthquake had occurred, with dust billowing and obscuring the sky.

"What's going on?"

Xi Changfeng was stunned, his eyes filled with surprise. He then cautiously circled the massive warship from a distance, carefully observing it as he went, not daring to approach rashly.

After the warship crashed, billowing black smoke quickly enveloped the entire vessel, obscuring its silhouette.

Xi Changfeng could no longer see the warship clearly, and even his divine sense was blocked by the black smoke, making it impossible for him to explore the situation inside the warship.

Before the black smoke completely obscured the warship, Xi Changfeng could vaguely see that the warship was riddled with holes and severely damaged, with cracks all over its hull, as if it would fall apart at any moment.

Inside the warship, there was no sign of life; no living powerful individuals could be seen, only mutilated corpses scattered everywhere.

The corpses were almost all broken; there were severed limbs everywhere, and the blood had long since congealed and turned black. The scene was gruesome and chilling.

Xi Changfeng continued to observe from a distance, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

A moment later, he suddenly noticed that there were strange figures moving frequently and at great speed in the black smoke, but he could not see the specific appearance of those figures and did not know what they were.

Those eerie figures made no sound and never left the area shrouded in black smoke, as if they were bound by the smoke.

"Help me...help us..."

Even though no sound came out, Xi Changfeng clearly heard the cry for help in his mind. The voice was weak and miserable, full of despair, which made his heart tighten and a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

The cry for help that suddenly appeared had an indescribable eeriness and strangeness.

Xi Changfeng shook his head violently, forcibly suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, concentrating his mind and completely dispelling the seductive voice in his head.

"It turns out that the sinister shadow in the black mist was using soul transmission to lure me into recklessly entering the heart of the black mist. It had ulterior motives."

Xi Changfeng instantly saw through the scheme, lightly tapped his feet, and retreated dozens of feet to create a safe distance. His eyes were fixed on the black mist area ahead, and he dared not relax for a moment.

The origins of this bronze warship that fell from the sky are shrouded in mystery.

From where did it come from? What is its purpose in appearing in the heart of the Great Qian Dynasty? Is it just a lone ship, or is there a large number of similar warships lurking behind it?

Countless questions swirled in Xi Changfeng's mind. With no one around, he was left alone and no one could answer his questions or unravel the mystery.

With his perspective from ten thousand years ago, it was not difficult for him to see that this giant warship was no ordinary object. Its hull was made of special materials, its walls were thick and sturdy, and it had its own extremely strong innate defensive array. It was definitely made by a top-notch weapon-refining master, and its cost was considerable. Its defensive power far exceeded that of conventional warships of the same level.

As his thoughts wandered, Xi Changfeng couldn't help but think of the catastrophe that swept across the world ten thousand years ago.

Ten thousand years ago, a strange black mist appeared in the world without warning, frantically devouring the land and expanding outwards, leaving no living beings and no vegetation in its wake.

At that time, the top experts from all over the continent joined forces and bravely plunged into the depths of the black mist, determined to sever the source of the black mist and end this apocalyptic crisis. However, after several bloody battles, they not only failed to discover any core clues, but also lost countless talented experts, and in the end, they could only retreat in defeat.
