A meteor crossed the sky, dragging out the fiery red tail flames and disappeared into the sky. Ming Zaiwang staggered and took the letter presented by his subordinates, swept two lines of sloppy handwriting, and hurriedly turned around and left.

He knelt in front of several old men in robe and asked for instructions at a loss: "Sir, what should I do?"

"What should I do? Humph, of course I want to get rid of this scourge."

"Half of the troops in the Western Regions are in his hands and cannot be moved. In my opinion, it is better to send someone to the Tianwu Empire to plead with their emperor."

"Ha." The elder of the long-bearded who spoke first sneered, "You are such an idiot. Think about who has destroyed the army we asked for from the Ya Kingdom? Could the Tianwu Empire send troops?"

"Isn't that a good thing Wang Ting did? What does it have to do with the Tianwu Empire? Everyone knows that the Tianwu Empire cannot do that kind of thing." Another elder said dissatisfied.

"What you mean is that if the Tianwu Empire sends troops into the country at this time, it is tantamount to admit that it destroyed the reinforcements of the Cial Kingdom and took the blame for the royal court." Prince Ming Zai whispered aside, saying the previous meaning of the elder with a long beard.

The elder of the long beard nodded and looked at him in admiration: "Mingzai knows the benefits and disadvantages, but as an elder, you don't understand. It's really a waste of life for so many years."

In addition to being cowardly, the King of Mingzai was indeed much better than his crazy brother, otherwise he would not have been able to achieve this position.

"Write a letter and ask Tuxi to bring Helian Ruoyu back quickly. It is not important for the people in that city-state. As long as Helian Ruoyu can live, we still have a chance to turn the tables. Also, I want to go to Guyun Sect in person. With the help of Guyun Sect, I don't have to be afraid of the group of people in the royal court." Elder Changfeng said so.

Another elder waved his hand and asked Prince Ming to leave: "You go back and have a good rest first. Be careful these days. Elius will attack the territory of other princes at will, and he will inevitably be criticized. It is difficult to guarantee that he will not do anything extreme."

Ming bowed and retreated when the prince bowed and returned to the bedroom, picked up the water cup and drank it. Bang! The exquisite ceramic cup was caught off guard and fell on the ground and broke.

The Prince Ming fell down in pain with wide eyes, twitching and bleeding from his seven orifices. The servant didn't even have time to react and saw him fall down, so he hurriedly helped the Prince Ming up and shouted: "No! Your Majesty is assassinated!"

Helian Ruoyu rode on the horse and looked ahead in a daze. Ling Xi called her a few times without responding.

"Hey, keep up." Ling Xi pulled his horse back to her and said. Helian Ruoyu was startled and asked in panic: "What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking?" Ling Xi looked at her hand that couldn't help but hold the reins tightly and asked her.

Helian Ruoyu tightened his mouth and shook his head without saying a word, refusing to say it.

Ling Xi was too lazy to care too much about the girl's thoughts, and it would be great if she could calm her down.

"We're here." Tuxi stopped on the ruins after the war, looking at the city-state that was prosperous these few days ago.

Helian Ruoyu did not dare to look directly at this scene, closed his eyes and grabbed the corner of Ling Xi's clothes.

Ling Xi led her all the way, ignoring the corpses hanging on both sides of the execution, and came to the square full of dry blood. The choking smoke and bloody smell here have not dissipated for a long time, and it is hard to imagine how many people died.

"Elilius' troops burned up all the place, and nothing was left except the corpses and ruins." Tuxi's men scattered and inspected the streets on both sides.

Tuxi still calmly swept the bodies: "Elilius had just left shortly, and it is very likely that a group of cleaning troops would be left, be careful of ambushing."

Ling Xi came to the beautiful palace that was once located in the city-state. This palace, which has a history of hundreds of years and has witnessed the rise and fall of more than a dozen generations of Helian families, was burned out in the war. Apart from the dark long pillars and broken tiles that were not recognized as they were, nothing was left.

"Don't you look?" Ling Xi turned around and asked. Helian Ruoyu still refused to open his eyes. When his soul touched the ruins, it unconsciously retracted into his body.

Seeing her like this, Ling Xi could only continue to walk into the depths of the ruins.

"Ling Xi, there seems to be a living person under the ground." Xiao Ling's soul seemed to have something special, reminding him.

Ling Xi immediately asked, "Where is it?"

"It's where you are in seclusion and practicing."

A heavy black stone is lying across the inconspicuous wall, with burnt scorch marks on it. You can wipe a layer of gray with one touch of your hand.

Ling Xi pulled Helian Ruoyu behind her back and said, "Don't be stupid, use your soul to sweep it down, there will be surprises."

Helian Ruoyu's soul explored, and indeed there was a different place from other places, where there was also a vague obstacle, which made her soul unable to explore.

"What is that?" Helian Ruoyu asked in confusion.

Ling Xi chuckled and raised the stone, made a rumbling sound, and said to her: "It will be clear when you go in."

Helian Ruoyu finally opened his eyes and walked in carefully.

Ling Xi put down the huge rock behind her, and the darkness covered the passage in an instant. Helian Ruoyu was so scared that he stood there and did not dare to walk forward.

"Continue to go! I'm waiting for you here." A flame appeared in Ling Xi's hand to illuminate the passage, and he said to her with a huge rock on his back.

Helian Ruoyu hesitated for a moment and summoned a ball of flame to walk deep into the ground.

Ling Xi waved his flames and let his body hide in the darkness, watching the fire disappear from the corner.

Xiaoling didn't understand Ling Xi's actions and came out to ask: "What are you doing if you use such a lot of kung fu? Wouldn't you just take her there?"

"She has to learn to fight hardships by herself."

"Puchi, you are too old and kind, as for helping her to this point?" Xiaoling sneered, then leaned into Ling Xi's ear and whispered: "Or, are you falling in love with her?"

"Stop joking like this." Ling Xi's tone remained unchanged, and she said unmoved: "I helped her just because I wanted to help. I am not a good person, and there are too many people who have been killed by me."

"Tsk, you just like her and don't admit it. Can those involved blame you? In our heaven, weak is original sin, and even me is the same. If I am strong enough, I don't have to become like this."

Ling Xi glanced at her and retorted: "Only strong enough can you establish a stable order to protect the weak, just like the real god of the Heaven and Earth Lord. Bullying people who are weaker than themselves is just a kind of inferiority engraved in the bones. I am not that kind of waste, and I don't want my friends to be."

Xiaoling was speechless and had never heard Ling Xi say this.

Helian Ruoyu walked down the stairs, and more than a dozen small figures were exposed to her fire.

Jiulang half raised his eyelids and protected the group of children under him. The soul that had been shrouded in the ground disappeared. He faintly saw a familiar figure coming and asked: "Who is it?"

Helian Ruoyu said ecstaticly: "Jiulang? Why are you here?"

"The children of the Helian family... are fine." Jiulang squeezed out a smile tiredly: "Captain, you'll be fine when you come back."

The children all stared at Helian Ruoyu. Helian Ruoyu was in a complicated mood and stepped forward to hug them.

"Class leader, I have taken these children with my soul to block their search underground these days. If you don't come back, I'm afraid I can't hold on."

"Elilius's people have left. Let's go, I'll take you up there." Helian Ruoyu took the children's hands and was about to leave.

"Thirsty." A child opened his mouth and said timidly. Helian Ruoyu lowered his body and turned into a ball of water in his hand to feed them, helping Jiulang to leave the ground that had not been seen for a long time.

When Ling Xi saw them coming, he reached out and raised the huge rock to let the fresh air flow into the closed underground. Helian Ruoyu supported Jiulang and passed by Ling Xi. Ling Xi held the huge rock and watched the children and Helian Ruoyu leave the underground. After all, the Helian family still had blood left and was not completely destroyed.

Tuxi had heard the noise waiting outside, and saw Helian Ruoyu and a string of children behind him walking out, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, looking at Ling Xi who had finally walked out.

Ling Xi explained: "Jiulang and the others hid here, but were not seen by Elius's people. Fortunately, we found them."

"It doesn't matter." Tuxi took out a letter: "Look at what is written on it."

Ling Xi took the letter and glanced briefly, and said in disbelief: "The King of Ming Zai refused to send troops?"

Elilius sent troops directly to attack a city-state of a prince, which was almost no less than declaring war on the Ming Dynasty to seize power. Now all the princes should have received news, waiting for the Ming Dynasty to react. The Ming Dynasty ignored Elilius's provocation without saying a word, which was tantamount to making those princes who were already determined to turn against Elilius completely.

"My brother is crazy, if you continue like this, Eliluus will be in a mess." Tuxi also had a serious expression and realized the seriousness of the problem.

Ling Xi felt a headache when he thought of these problems. The Western Regions Dynasty, the longevity and spiritual grass, and the messy things one after another, one by one, one by one, and one by one is more difficult to solve.

In the distance, several soldiers holding monocular telescopes were lying in the desert. After seeing Ling Xi and others entering the city for a long time, they raised their hands to release a large eagle.

The eagle hovered out a 8-shaped trajectory in the air, like a command before the attack. Immediately after another battle flag was raised, accompanied by the long sound of horns.

The war horse stepped through the compacted yellow sand and turned into a steel wall to press towards Lingxi and the others.

Ling Xi heard the sound of horse hooves trampling outside the city, and quickly stepped onto the broken city wall, looking at the cavalry array not far away, changing his face.

The rain-like arrows poured straight towards everyone's heads.

A heavily armored soldier under Tuxi used his soul to cut off most of the attacking arrows, and raised his head and shouted: "Enemy attack!" Tuxi was protected by five other soldiers holding shields, covering her to retreat continuously.

Some enemy troops had rushed in from the damaged city wall. Ling Xi stood in front of them alone and summoned soldiers to stop the cavalry.

Helian Ruoyu panicked and shouted at Tuxi: "Hurry! Protect the children first!"

Tuxi pushed away the five shield guards around him and asked them to protect the children. She and Ling Xi were on the front line to fight the impact of the cavalry. She cut over the cavalry and his horse with her rushing in. She pressed Ling Xi's shoulder and said, "There are my people here to support you, please retreat quickly!"

Ling Xi looked back and saw that her men really came up, guarding the city walls everywhere, preventing the army from attacking. These heavily armored soldiers had a deep level, and Elius's army could not attack, and their bodies were all tired outside for several layers.

Ling Xi gritted her teeth and hugged Helian Ruoyu, and took her to escape in the opposite direction surrounded by the cavalry.
