"Cough, cough, cough." Han Xiangtian carried Leng Qinghe out of the smoke and dust of the explosion.

By now, Leng Qing He's white robes had turned into a bloodstained shirt. There were various wounds on his face and his left arm was broken. He swayed along with his feet. Although his eyes were open, his breathing was very weak.

Although Han Xiangtian was much better looking, his clothes were also torn. There were obvious wounds on his arms and thighs, but such injuries weren't too severe for a cultivator like Han Xiangtian at the Immortal Transformation Stage.

"Father, Master." Han Xiao took out his Silver Blood Sword and supported himself in front of the two of them. When he saw the blood-red colour on Leng Qing He's body, his eyes were filled with worry.

"Xiao'er, we can't stay in the Cloud Palace like this for the time being. I've already sent a sound transmission to Yan Tian and the others just now. You should heal yourself first and bring Yan Tian and the others here to pick us up." Han Xiangtian looked at the basically ruined Cloud Palace and said.

"Then Master, he …" Han Xiao worriedly looked at Leng Qing He and said.

"I didn't expect that Wen Zhenghua would suddenly self-detonate. I couldn't dodge in time and got hurt by his self-detonation. Now that my immortal soul has been damaged, all of my meridians have to find a place to properly heal." Even if he said those words now, it would be very difficult for him.

Seeing Leng Qinghe like this, Han Xiao blamed himself in his heart. He felt that his strength was too weak and decided that after the matter with the Yun Ming Empire was resolved, he would go into closed door cultivation and work hard to increase his cultivation.

After waiting for a while, Han Yan Tian and Xiao Ba Ya rushed over. When the two of them saw the miserable state of the Cloud Imperial Palace and Han Xiao and the other two's injuries, they were extremely shocked.

Arriving at the Cloud Battling Prince's Mansion, Han Xiangtian had Han Yan Tian bring Leng Qinghe to a cultivation room, while he and Han Xiao had each found a room to treat their injuries.

While waiting for Han Xiao and the other two to recover from their injuries, Han Yan Tian sent someone to bring Xiao Ke Er and Xiao Moke over. The two of them were extremely worried after hearing that Han Xiao and the other two were heavily injured, but they didn't dare to disturb them.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and after three days, Han Xiao's injuries had basically recovered. Originally, he had thought that if he did not eat the pill, he would recover by himself, but after waiting for a long time, there were no signs of recovery. He was afraid that if he continued to wait, his injuries would worsen, so he swallowed the pill and began to heal himself.

"Royal father's injuries should be lighter, so it should be fine, but Master …" Thinking about how Leng Qing He was struggling to speak, Han Xiao's eyes flashed with worry. He did not want to rest for even a moment longer, so he hurriedly got up and left.

"Your Highness, you're awake." The moment he pushed open the door, Han Xiao saw a maid standing at the doorway and asked anxiously, "Where are my royal father and Battle King Yun?"

"The emperor and His Highness are currently discussing some matters in the front hall, but the prince has already instructed me to bring you there after you wake up." The maid said respectfully.

"Alright, bring me there now." Han Xiao hurriedly said.

Seeing Han Xiao's anxious expression, the maid bowed and then led him to the front hall.

When he arrived at the front hall, Han Xiao didn't care about anything else as he directly pushed open the door. He saw Han Xiangtian, Han Yan Tian, Xiao Ba, as well as Prime Minister Wei Jinggrong and the others standing there, not knowing what to say.

"Xiao'er, you're awake. Are your injuries alright?" Han Xiangtian hurriedly asked when he saw Han Xiao.

"royal father, I am fine now. How is my master now?" Han Xiao asked worriedly.

"Your master's injuries are quite severe and he has yet to come out of the training room. However, I have already fed him the Yang Ming Pill. I think that he should be able to recover very soon." Han Xiangtian said.

Han Xiangtian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Han Xiangtian say that he had given the Yangming Pill to Leng Qinghe. Thinking of Han Xiangtian's injuries, he hastily asked, "Imperial Father, you gave the Yangming Pill to Master, is your own injury alright?"

"I'm not the same as your master. I just recuperated some skin wounds for a day, and that's all. Xiao'er, since you're here, I can tell you that Yan Tian's people have found Han Zhao and Wen Jing." Han Xiangtian said.

"Where are the real royal father and the others?" Han Xiao asked.

"They're dead." Han Xiangtian frowned.

"Dead? How could that be possible? Let's not talk about Imperial Concubine Wen, even if it was Han Zhao who disappeared from the West Gorge that day, with his means, how could he die so easily?" Han Zhao said in disbelief.

Han Xiao, I know you don't believe it, but when my people were cleaning the ruins of the palace, they found Han Zhao's corpse about a thousand meters away from where you fought that day, and they immediately brought the corpse to me. After sending the corpse over, I saw that it was indeed Han Zhao's corpse. Han Yan Tian said.

"Actually, I noticed that someone should have been watching us from afar that day. However, I didn't have the energy to check out what was happening due to being entangled by the zombie. Now, it seems like Han Zhao was killed by that person in the dark." Han Xiangtian frowned.

"Weird, royal father, what you mean is, is there something strange about the living corpse exploding?" Han Xiao asked.

"It's strange that even Wen Zhenghua suddenly blew himself up." Han Xiangtian said.

Hearing Han Xiangtian say this, Han Xiao recalled the day when Wen Zhenghua was going to fight Leng Qinghe to the death, but after seeing his companion's corpse explode, he suddenly went crazy and directly hugged Leng Qinghe, wanting to die together with him.

"Could it be that someone else was secretly manipulating the mission from behind the scenes? Han Zhao, Wen Zhenghua are only this person's pawns. Are they afraid that if they say something they shouldn't say after the mission fails, then they will be killed?" Han Xiao said.

"I was thinking the same thing, so when I recovered yesterday, I immediately sent people to clean up the middle part of the Demon Shadow Sect. I wanted to get the answer from their mouths, but unfortunately, after I sent people out, all the people from the Demon Shadow Sect died, and even those who didn't die seemed to have run away without a trace." Han Xiangtian said.

Initially, he thought this was just a grudge between him and Han Zhao, and that it was only because of Han Zhao that Wen Zhenghua had acted. But now, it seems that this matter was not that simple, and there might be a greater conspiracy behind it.

"Could it be that that person is from the Demon World, and the Devil Shadow Sect is the stronghold of the Demon World in the Kuang Xiao Continent? They seized the Yun Mo Continent because they were trying to take unnoticed due to Han Zhao? " Han Xiao frowned.

"I've thought about what you said, but right now, I don't have any evidence to prove that this has anything to do with the Devil Shadow Sect. Just yesterday, I received news that the leader of the Devil Shadow Sect suddenly released news three days ago that Wen Zhenghua had betrayed the Devil Shadow Sect and invited the experts of various powers to hunt him down. Han Xiangtian said.

"Wen Zhenghua died three days ago. This news was released three days ago. The timing is so coincidental that it makes people want to puke." Han Xiao's eyes flashed as he said this.

"Logically speaking, only the Emperor knows about the death of Wen Zhenghua. Even His Highness the Crown Prince and Senior Leng knew about it. If we say that it had something to do with the Devil Shadow Sect, no one would believe us." Wei Jinggrong said.

"This is the cleverness of the Devil Shadow Sect, using this method to completely get rid of the suspicion in the eyes of others, but it also proves that there really is a problem with the Devil Shadow Sect … Maybe the person who killed Han Zhao that day was someone from the Devil Shadow Sect." Han Xiao coldly said.

"It's a pity that we do not have any evidence, and these can only be considered our speculations, there is no way to prove it. Moreover, the Devil Shadow Sect is one of the top factions in the Kuang Xiao Continent, and the current Yun Ming Empire is unable to match it." Han Xiangtian frowned.

Han Xiao also knew that what Han Xiangtian said was the truth, so he thought for a while, "Royal father, what do you think about Ao Sky Emperor Dynasty?"

"Ao Sky Emperor is one of the most experienced empires in the Sky Cloud Continent. In terms of strength, he is not weaker than one of the Three Great Academies. Don't tell me you want to …?" As he spoke, Han Xiangtian guessed Han Xiao's intention and asked in surprise.

"This time around, Xi Yun has come to help me in the name of my friendship with the Yun Ming Empire. Since that is the case, we might as well form an alliance with the Ao Sky Emperor Empire." Han Xiao said.

"If we form an alliance, then the Yun Ming Empire will become the territory of the Ao Sky Empire. This will have a great impact on the autonomy of the Yun Ming Empire." Han Yan Tian said with a frown.

"I only formed an alliance and did not say that I want to become the next ruler of Ao Tianhuang Kingdom. As for the alliance, if you trust me, father, I'll go discuss it with Xi Yun." Han Xiao said.

"Good. Xiao'er, I trust you. I'll leave this matter to you." Han Xiangtian said.

"Then I will definitely give royal father and Duke Yun a satisfactory answer." Han Xiao said with a faint smile.
