Everyone gathered, but not everyone followed. Rong Hua told Li Dan and Li Shuang to stay behind while she brought Rushing Thunder, Li Daoyun, and Long Zhuoyun.

Li Dan asked worriedly: "Captain, why don't you bring us along too?"

Rong Hua shook her head, "You guys stay behind first, we can't possibly not have a backup."

Li Jun opened her mouth but did not refute. After all, they could not use all of their strength to do something so dangerous. If there was a chance, they could save their lives.

Three squads, plus Rong Hua and Ye Qingtian, a total of 32 people. Who knows where Duan Canghai went.

Thirty-two people appeared at the city gate. The soldier guarding the gate said angrily, "Who is it?" "Hurry up and leave this place, or else I'll kill you all!"

Ye Qingtian coldly snorted and swung his sleeve. A strong force flipped the soldier over.

"Someone is about to break into the palace." Someone shouted.

Rong Hua snorted, "It's already so tiring for me to go out the door, it's good enough that I can fly out."

Long Zhuoyun looked around. The soldiers surrounding them had actually circled them three times. It looked like they needed to fight a round.

Just as the two forces were about to take action, a loud shout rang out, "Both of you, stop."

Rong Hua turned her head and saw that the one who came was Long Huai. He was dressed in a light blue ocean armor and a white cape. On each of his shoulders, he had two yellow crystal rhomboid epaulettes.

He had always been handsome, but now that he wore a gold crown on his head, he gave off a feeling of nobility and oppressiveness.

"You …" Rong Hua didn't know how to address Long Huai, Crown Prince? Or was it called by name?

Long Huai did not reveal an intimate expression, but said very coldly: "We have already collected the dragon corpses, let them go out."

The gatekeeping general didn't seem to believe Long Huai as he coldly said, "You are no longer the crown prince. You don't have the qualifications to order this general."

Duan Canghai walked out from behind Long Huai, "Are you not going to listen to this general's orders?"

The gatekeeper's face suddenly turned solemn. "This lowly general doesn't dare."

"The Imperial Palace has already been destroyed by the Divine Dragon, and the Emperor and the Empress have already ascended to the Immortal World. Long Huai was originally a crown prince, so he will soon become our new emperor." Duan Canghai said in a dignified tone.

Rong Hua was very surprised. When he looked at Long Huai, he was also looking at herself. Long Huai's expression was very complicated, but it didn't have the slightest trace of malice.

"You volunteered?"

Long Huai nodded: "I volunteered." He then used his soul power to send a message. "I know that this world cannot trap you. I hope you can understand one thing. If you get tired of playing outside, you're welcome to come back anytime. At the same time, I'll be your backup."

The corner of Rong Hua's mouth twitched. Since when did Long Huai become so great? But these words sounded very ironclad.

Ye Qingtian coldly snorted. It was obvious that his powerful soul power had sensed that Long Huai was sending a sound transmission to Rong Hua. However, he didn't know what he had said.

Rong Hua asked Long Huai, "You really decided to take over this mess?"

Long Huai answered helplessly: "That's right, after this purge, the new Imperial Family will absolutely not corrupt."

Rong Hua nodded, "Have a good rest for Long Zhuoyun's family."

"Don't worry, I will." Long Huai smiled slightly.

Rong Hua smiled too, their gazes diverging.

Long Huai raised his voice, "Open the gate."

The guards didn't dare to stop them, after the city gates opened, Rong Hua led the way out.

After Rong Hua had walked a distance away, she turned around to look at him. Long Huai was standing on top of the city gate as he looked at her, and his handsome figure seemed abnormally lonely.

For some reason, Rong Hua's heart felt a bit sour. Maybe it was because she had experienced something similar to Long Huai's, but they were all people abandoned by their loved ones.

Ye Qingtian asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Why is there so much helplessness when people are still alive?" Rong Hua sighed.

Ye Qingtian didn't say anything. As long as one was alive, there would be all kinds of helplessness. Who could refute this?

Just like that, everyone set out on their journey to Star Sea City.

The journey was smooth, but once they entered the Northern Wasteland, they would discover something strange. Although this place wasn't as dilapidated as the one in the Southern Wasteland, it didn't have much of a human presence.

They didn't see anyone until they entered the depths of Star Sea City. The city was very desolate, but the streets were very clean.

"Why is there no one here?" Long Zhui Yun said to himself.

No one could answer this question.

"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to take a look." Ye Qingtian suggested.

Rong Hua nodded and everyone headed towards the city leader's mansion, passing by a large courtyard and letting out a cry.

"Someone's crying."

Everyone listened carefully. The sound of her crying was ethereal, so they couldn't tell if she was male or female. They could only feel their hairs stand on end.

Ye Qingtian took a few steps forward and pushed the door. The door opened with a creak and the sound of crying became louder.

"Let's go in and take a look. Someone will be able to find out where the people in this city have gone to." Rong Hua said.

Ye Qingtian said, "Long Zhuoyun's team will follow us inside. Rushing Thunder and Li Daoguang's team will stay at the door to prevent us from encountering an ambush when we enter."

Rushing Thunder and Li Daoyi knew Ye Qingtian's identity, so they unconditionally complied.

Rong Hua didn't mind his arrangement, she took the lead and walked in.

The lantern on the door fell to the ground with a thud. The sudden sound made everyone's heart tremble.

The scenery inside the door was very strange. Usually, when a large family entered, they would have stone screens or flower beds. No matter how difficult it was, a winding cobblestone path covered the front hall, but this family's path directly led to the door of a large house.

Anyone who knew about Feng Shui would know that such a scenario was definitely dangerous, so no one would do such a thing.

"Strange." Long Zhui Yun rubbed his chin as he squatted down to touch the white pebbles on the ground. "How round is it? How long would it take to make so many pebbles of the same size and whiteness?"

Rong Hua lowered her head and looked, this look didn't matter, his scalp was numb: "This …" This is not a stone. "

"What is it?" Long Zhui Yun asked blankly.

Ye Qingtian lowered his head and looked. He suddenly reached into the ground and dug out a rock. However, this really wasn't a rock. It was a skull.

Tang Hongtao, who was in the small team, was so scared that he started to howl and hide behind Long Zhui Yun.

Long Zhui Yun said with a darkened face, "I say, have you never seen skeletons before?"

Tang Hong Tao trembled, unable to speak.

Ye Qingtian raised his eyebrows, "Useless thing, you should just leave. This place is not suitable for you to come. You sure are timid."

Rong Hua looked at Tang Hong Tao, feeling things weren't so simple. How could the people of this world be afraid of skeletons? This was really a joke. Even though Tang Hongtao was only 16 years old, he had already killed quite a number of people.

"It's not that I'm afraid … Fear of skeletons … Here... Something's not right here! " Tang Hong Tao's teeth were trembling as he spoke with his tongue tied up.

Ye Qingtian frowned, "What's wrong?"
