Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Hill was stunned. "What does he mean? Does he look down on me?"

She touched her chest, then her face, "I have such a great figure, and I'm so pretty!"

"Maybe you scared him..."

Serafina didn't dwell on it too much, and looked at Dori, "I'll let him go, you can go back now!"

Dori scoffed, "I hope your nephew doesn't mess things up and end up dying at my hands..."

After saying that, he walked out of the house, pushing the stunned Hill out as well. Then, Serafina went upstairs and knocked on Li Moxuan's door.

"Please come in!"

Pushing open the door, Li Moxuan was leaning against the window, looking in the direction of the prison. He turned around and asked, "Su Yuqing almost died. Was this also part of your plan?"

Serafina had guessed he would ask this, and shook her head. "He didn't tell me about this. It's possible he already knew you would send someone, which is why he didn't mention it..."

Li Moxuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "How is Su Xuanwei doing?"

"She was seriously injured and passed out. I've already treated her injuries, and she's out of danger..."

Serafina leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and said, "But that guy Dori used the God-Sealing Chains to bind her hands and feet, and also fed her a poison that invaded her heart!"

Li Moxuan frowned. "What poison?"

“I don’t know either. It was made by his guardian god Osiris. According to him, he can make the poison that invaded Su Xuanwei’s heart meridian take effect in an instant, if he wants to…”

Isn't this exactly the same way Sai dealt with Liu Yuchan back in the Underworld?

"That's really ruthless!"

However, since they're going to use Ji Haoxuan, they at least won't let Su Xuanwei get into trouble for now, otherwise they'll be in real trouble...

Li Moxuan turned around. "Since they want to coerce Ji Haoxuan, they should send someone over, right?"

"Yes, Bai Yucun will be sent there in three days..."

Chapter 477: It's all a coincidence, isn't it?

Frosty Forbidden City.

A figure draped in a black robe arrived at the city gate. She looked up at the gate and sighed softly, "It's been so long since I've been back!"

This person was none other than Zhu Qingchan, who had left the Emperor's Palace. After some effort along the way, she successfully returned here.

She took a deep breath and walked towards the city gate, but as expected, she was quickly stopped by the city gate guard captain. "Who are you?"

Zhu Qingchan looked up. She recognized the person and smiled sweetly, "Aunt Zhang, it's me!"

The guard captain was taken aback, but quickly recognized her, his voice tinged with excitement, "Xiao Chan, it's you!"

Zhu Qingchan was born in the Frost Forbidden City. Back then, she was the darling of the entire Dreamland. Everyone doted on her, and many people in Dreamland watched her grow up.

The guard captain grabbed her hand. "When we heard you'd been kidnapped by some bastard, we were furious!"

"Why are you suddenly back now?"

"Aunt Zhang, it's a long story, I'll tell you about it later!"

Zhu Qingchan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is my aunt still here? I heard she got engaged..."

"Yes, everyone's here, and your mother is back too!"

Mother?

Zhu Qingchan paused for a moment, then was ushered into the city. "Xiaochan, go check on them first! We'll come back to see you after we're done!"

"Oh……"

At this time, inside the Cold Moon Palace, Yue Xiling went to the Illusionary Heaven Palace to take care of Yue Qingxuan.

Besides Jiang Ciyou, there was also Yu Ziyi, who was nearly fifty years old, in the mansion. As for Jiang Mingxuan and his family of three, they had all gone to the front line.

"Sister Jiang, that's wonderful! You're getting married too!"

Yu Ziyi smiled faintly, "It's just a pity I didn't have a chance to meet my brother-in-law!"

Jiang Ciyou poured her a glass of water, looked at her increasingly aged face, and sighed, "Ziyi, aren't you going to call Xiaochan back?"

"I've let go of what happened back then..."

Yu Ziyi shook her head, "Never mind, she's grown up and has her own ideas. I don't want to stop her..."

After she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Ciyou's expression gradually turn to shock, and asked with some confusion, "Sister Jiang, what's wrong?"

"Ziyi, look behind you!"

Yu Ziyi turned around and was immediately stunned. She saw Zhu Qingchan, dressed in a black robe, standing in front of her.

Having not seen her for five years, seeing her mother's hair, which had turned mostly white and her face looking somewhat haggard, Zhu Qingchan's nose tingled with tears, and she threw herself into her mother's arms, "Mom, I'm sorry!"

She suddenly regretted leaving in a fit of pique...

Yu Ziyi's eyes reddened, and she touched her head with trembling hands, crying tears of joy, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Seeing the mother and daughter reunited, Jiang Ciyou was also very happy, but she just watched quietly from the side and did not disturb them...

The two embraced for a long time before Zhu Qingchan finally stepped out of Yu Ziyi's arms and looked at Jiang Ciyou, "Aunt..."

Aunt Jiang Ciyou was the person who doted on Zhu Qingchan the most besides her mother when she was a child, and Zhu Qingchan had also heard her mother mention her story.

Therefore, she felt guilty towards this aunt, not to mention that her purpose in returning this time was to help Ji Haoxuan get something...

Jiang Ciyou simply smiled and opened her arms, "Xiao Chan, won't you give your aunt a hug?"

"Go ahead!" Yu Ziyi wiped her eyes, smiled, and pushed her forward.

Zhu Qingchan hugged Jiang Ciyou tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Auntie, I missed you so much too!"

……

The Emperor's Palace on the other side.

Back in the palace, Ji Haoxuan looked at the devastated Emperor's Palace and his heart sank. Could something have really happened to his mother and Xiaowei?

He quickened his pace toward the Xuanling Palace, and when he arrived at the palace and saw the scene before him, his heart sank to the bottom.

The entire Xuanling Palace was completely ruined; the dome had been ripped off...

Yao Xiaolin, who had been sitting in the Xuanling Hall for a long time, walked over and said with a look of self-reproach, "Haoxuan, I'm sorry, I couldn't protect them!"

Ji Haoxuan didn't blame him, and asked, "Xiaolin, what exactly happened?"

"That group of people comes from an organization called the Western Heaven Alliance..." Yao Xiaolin had already learned about the group's background from Yang Che.

"They lured you away by diverting your attention, then launched a surprise attack on the Emperor's Palace, severely injuring your aunt and taking away Sister Xuanwei!"

His own mother was seriously injured?

Ji Haoxuan immediately tensed up and hurriedly asked, "Is my mother alright? Where is she?"

"I originally wanted to take my aunt to Qi Bo's place, but after that group from the Western Heaven Alliance, two more avatars of gods from the Heavenly Strategy Mansion suddenly appeared!"

"They said they could save my aunt, so they kidnapped her after she was seriously injured and unconscious..."

Ji Haoxuan fell silent. Qingchan had left, his sister and his seriously injured mother had both fallen into the hands of others, and he seemed to have become all alone...

"Haoxuan, something's not right here..."

"What do you mean?"

"Before the Western Alliance invaded, Los of the Holy Covenant Church came and withdrew all the people stationed here!"

"Moreover, this group of people is clearly after Aunt and Sister Xuanwei. Their ability to pinpoint the location of the Xuanling Palace is obviously abnormal..."

Ji Haoxuan frowned. "You mean there's a mole inside?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Qingchan wouldn't do that. You're probably overthinking it!"

"I'm not talking about Miss Zhu, I'm talking about Shi Yan!"

Yao Xiaolin said with certainty, "He went to the Holy Covenant Church before, and not long after, Los came and evacuated everyone, but he didn't come back with them!"

“I inquired with Zhang Heng, and he didn’t go to the border military camp either. He’s probably somewhere far away, perhaps at the Holy See…”

"But... what was his purpose?"

Ji Haoxuan was skeptical. After all, they had been comrades-in-arms for so many years, and Shi Yan had no reason to help this Western Heaven Alliance, which he had never even heard of, to deal with him!

"Haoxuan, why don't we go to the Holy Covenant Church and find out?"

Yao Xiaolin took a deep breath. "No matter what, we need to figure out why the Holy Covenant Church withdrew its troops and follow the clues!"

Ji Haoxuan was silent for a while. He remembered Landos's warning before he left, "Xiaolin, what if the Western Heaven Alliance plans to use Xiaowei to threaten me into dealing with the Tian Ce Mansion?"

My mother is still in Li Moxuan's hands. What if I anger him and he attacks my mother?

"It depends on who you trust more..."

Yao Xiaolin took a deep breath. "I remember that among the commanders of the Tian Ce Mansion's troops stationed outside, there is one named Jiang Mingxuan. If you discuss it with him, perhaps he will help you!"

Ji Haoxuan nodded, "Let's go to the Holy Covenant Church first!"

He didn't want to believe there was a mole among his men, but Yao Xiaolin's analysis made a lot of sense. He hoped he was just overthinking things and that it was all just a coincidence.

Chapter 478: A Feast for the Eyes

Ghost Cry Forest, Western Alliance.

Li Moxuan arrived at the prison, which was heavily guarded, but no one stopped him because he had been instructed beforehand.

Stepping into the prison, a dark and damp atmosphere enveloped him. Li Moxuan frowned and followed the warden to the cell where Su Xuanwei was being held.

"Lord Rosebes, that woman is locked inside, but she hasn't eaten or drunk anything..."

Inside the prison, Su Xuanwei huddled in a corner with his head down, his hands bound by chains made from the God-Sealing Chains, his entire being exuding a deathly stillness...

Could this girl be planning a hunger strike to commit suicide and avoid being used to threaten Ji Haoxuan?

Li Moxuan frowned slightly. No, he had to find a way to send her a coded message...

He squatted down, picked up a bowl of frozen beef noodles from the ground, and asked with a look of disgust, "Who made this?"

The warden scratched his head. "Sir, it was me, how come..."
