Chapter 96.2

Chapter 96.2

Three days passed.

A luxurious carriage arrived at the border of Great Xia, and from it descended a group of people dressed in splendid garments, exuding an air of nobility.

Among them was a young man, not only handsome but also radiating an aura of aristocracy, and the others regarded him with respect.

Your Highness, Great Xia lies ahead!

An attendant spoke with reverence, It is said that just half a year ago, Great Xia was but a small kingdom, weak in both nation and people. However, in the past several months since that foolish emperor ascended to the throne, the Xia Kingdom has developed by leaps and bounds. The population has been growing, military strength increasing, and the nation flourishing. Just two months ago, it was elevated to the status of a great kingdom, commanding respect from all around!

The young man addressed as Your Highness shook his head slightly, with a hint of condescension in his tone, and proudly declared, Even if it has become a great kingdom, in the face of Great Li, is it not still just a small kingdom?

His Majesty speaks the truth! The crowd nodded in agreement, their faces showing a hint of pride

No matter whether its a small kingdom or a great kingdom, none can compare to the Great Li Dynasty.

This group of people was none other than the Ninth Prince of the Great Li Dynasty, who had traveled from afar along with his personal guards and attendants.

The Ninth Prince glanced at the sky and said, Its getting late, lets hurry on! I want to see for myself what kind of abilities the man who took senior sister has!

One foolish emperor, how can he be compared with Your Highness? someone said, flattering him.

The Ninth Prince laughed heartily, clenched his fist confidently, and declared, I think the same, which is why I have come personally. I will certainly crush his arrogant spirit and snatch senior sister back from his clutches!

With that, he boarded the carriage and continued on their way.

At this moment, Lin Beifan had already taken notice of the group, a strange smile appearing on his face: Theyve really come! Life has been a bit dull, so I shall entertain myself with them for a while!

With that said, he employed the Hand of God, reaching towards the Empire Sandbox.

An hour passed, and finally, the sky began to darken.

The luxurious carriage continued on its way, with no villages in sight nor any signs of human habitation.

Stop!

The Ninth Prince lifted the carriage curtain, frowning as he spoke: How come we havent seen a village after all this time?

A follower reported: Your Highness, weve been patrolling the main road straight ahead; logically, we should have encountered people or a village by now, but theres nothing at all, which is truly strange!

Could we be lost? After all, we are strangers in these parts

The Ninth Prince pointed to the official road beneath their feet and said, Lets keep moving along this road, we will eventually get there!

The group continued on their journey, but by noon, they still hadnt encountered a single soul.

They had no choice but to stop for a rest, to drink some water, and to eat something.

A few of them gathered together and discussed in low voices.

Do you think weve encountered something evil?

I have that feeling too. We might have run into whats called ghost hitting the wall in the legends, where we cant make out the directions and no matter how we walk, we cant find our way out!

But its daytime now, can ghosts come out?

Ordinary ghosts cant, but what about the Ghost King? I suspect A-Xing and A-Qiang might have encountered a ghost

The more you say it, the more possible it seems!

The more everyone discussed, the more uneasy they felt in their hearts.

Ninth Prince frowned and scolded, Men should not speak of supernatural forces and chaos; how can there be ghosts in this world? Its just going to scare oueselves! After weve eaten and drunk our fill, lets continue on our way!

The group continued on their journey, and two hours quickly passed by.

The sun was gradually setting, and the sky darkened.

At this moment, the attendants and guards outside started calling out in a fluster, Your Highness! Your Highness come out and see!

What is the reason for such clamor?

The Ninth Prince emerged from his carriage somewhat irritated, only to have his expression turn sour at the sight before him.

For he saw a large tree.

Last night, they had rested under this very tree, and the traces they left on the ground were still visible.

Have we walked back to the same place?
