Chapter 222 - First Station (2)

"Why did they retreat?" Wang Hao stood next to Xia Xuan, looking at the retreating army of The Divine King's Mansion, he could not help but to ask.

"They are not simply withdrawing, they are returning to the The Divine King's Mansion." Xia Xuan laughed, then placed his hands behind his back, and walked into Imperial Palace.

Everyone was puzzled. Why was the The Divine King's Mansion's army like this? What did Xia Xuan do?

However, seeing that Xia Xuan did not have any intention to say it, Wang Hao and the others did not say anything, and the others did not ask either, in short, Xing Bei had won the battle!

Tonight, the entire Xing Bei Empire was in a state of ecstasy as all the good wine and good meat were brought over. The scene of ten thousand people having an ecstasy in the Imperial Palace was rather spectacular, even the vigilant Xia Xuan had let go of his mind to drink and have fun, looking as though he was extremely happy.

In the end, everyone was completely drunk. The scene of tens of thousands of people snoring loudly was quite spectacular.

However, there was still one person who was not drunk in the entire Imperial Palace.

Xia Xuan looked at the sky alone, he was truly happy when he was drinking, but that was because he would be facing training in the near future, so he was constantly on guard, causing his body and mind to be unable to relax.

This was his first battle with the Celestial King, the battle was over, but the chaotic world had arrived as well. There were still many wars after this, and Xia Xuan thirsted for power, hoping to defeat the Celestial King, hoping to obtain the power to go there first.

Not long after, the people of Xing Bei, who had been sent to other empires, returned. When they saw the scene in the capital, they were all shocked, wondering what kind of disaster was it to let all the citizens leave.

The current Wanyan Empire was very different from the past. The current Wanyan Empire was a new ruler, and the one who ruled over the Wanyan Empire was the current Wyrm Flame Clan.

Although Xia Xuan did not personally come to the Wanyan Empire, after the Hundred Hero Competition ended, Northern Spring and Tiger Roar joined hands to attack Wan Yan and requested for Wan Yan to change his royal family.

Helpless, Wan Yan was able to change rulers.

It was still within the city. The buildings of the Wyrm Flame Clan were erected and looked very grand, but the current Jayan City had already become the capital of the Wanyan Empire.

Although the scenery in the courtyard was very beautiful, she was not in the mood to enjoy it. Her heart was completely focused on the distant Xing Bei Empire, she had recently received news that the The Divine King's Mansion had sent troops to attack Northern Star Region. Originally, she was going to head there, but was stopped by Jiao Peng.

"No, I have to go take a look." After thinking for a long time, Jiao Ling'er finally stood up. She decided to secretly go to Northern Star City. Even if it was from afar, it was better than waiting here.

"Where are you going?" Suddenly, a voice rang out, scaring Jiao Ling'er, who was just about to leave, as he hurriedly sat back down.

After calming down, only then did Jiao Ling'er realize that it wasn't his father's voice. It was the voice that she missed every moment.

He hastily turned his head to look, only to see a The black-haired youth not far away looking at him with a smile. Teenage's body was slightly thin, although he had experienced a lot of trials, but this skinny figure seemed to be able to carry the entire world in his eyes.

Without any hesitation, she threw herself into Xia Xuan's embrace. The stone that was hanging in Jiao Ling'er's heart also fell, and it would be best if nothing happened to Xia Xuan.

Xia Xuan rubbed the woman in his embrace with both hands. He could feel that his chest was already a little wet, this girl still loved to cry.

"Alright, didn't I come back?" Xia Xuan said with a gentle voice. The rough hand gently stroked the smooth black hair of Jiao Ling'er.

"Did the The Divine King's Mansion retreat?" Jiao Ling'er rubbed his eyes and asked.

"Retreat." Xia Xuan gently wiped away the tears left in the corner of Jiao Ling'er's eyes and said gently.

"You're not taking care of Xing Bei, how are you free to come here?" Jiao Ling'er thought for a moment and asked. Although the The Divine King's Mansion had withdrawn his troops, but Xing Bei had probably become a mess. Xia Xuan actually had the time to come here when it was time to take care of the mess.

"I'm here to say my farewells, I want to go to The Divine King's Mansion." Xia Xuan's expression became more solemn. It could be said that he had already promised to marry Jiao Ling'er at the start, which meant that he had already been married for two years. However, he himself wasn't by her side at all.

She was just a little disappointed, she felt that she should not take Xia Xuan's footsteps off the mark. She could not stop Xia Xuan if he wanted to leave, but she could not help but feel a little reluctant in her heart.

"I'm sorry." Looking at the lost Jiao Ling'er, Xia Xuan also felt a bit of pain in his heart. However, he was a Deicide and he needed to seek power.

After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan released Jiao Ling'er, turned around, and was about to leave when a jade hand quietly grabbed onto the corner of his clothes.

Jiao Ling'er lowered his head. His expression couldn't be seen, but he still wanted to know what she was like right now.

Jiao Ling'er grabbed him for a while and finally released him. After that, Xia Xuan drove his spiritual energy and flew off.

In the sky far away, Wang Hao, Su Bing, Wu Zhi, Shangguan Zelong, Mo Youxue and the others were waiting for Xia Xuan. When they saw Xia Xuan's dejected expression, they all became silent and the group of seven stepped onto a path that led off into the distance, before finally disappearing into the distant horizon.
