"Boom!" A loud noise erupted as an attack flew towards Ling Mo Xie amidst the chaos. Ling Mo Xie quickly used the Flame Clone skill, scooping up the unconscious Chen Yan before disappearing from the path of the attack.
When he reappeared, it was not far from where the attack had been aimed. Now, attacks were everywhere, and there was no safe place left; there was no need to escape too far.
"Boss! Are you all right? What should we do now?" At this moment, Hong Chi and Xiao Peng, along with Big White, rushed towards Ling Mo Xie's direction, constantly dodging the attacks that rained down in the chaotic battlefield.
"All good! Let's get out of here!" Ling Mo Xie glanced at the sleeping Chen Yan in his arms and said to them. He then called out to Xiao Peng, who immediately understood and lowered his flying height and speed.
Ling Mo Xie leaped onto Xiao Peng's broad and soft back. Seeing this, Hong Chi transformed into a wisp of flame and reappeared on Xiao Peng's back as well. As for Big White, to save time, he was directly stored in Ling Mo Xie's Pet Space.
"Boss, this is really unfortunate; Chen Yan is so unreliable!" Hong Chi pouted and complained discontentedly.
Ling Mo Xie shot a glance at Hong Chi and laughed, saying, "How can she be unreliable? Look, Feng Qian Guo's soldiers have been wiped out! Even those generals couldn't escape death. If it weren't for Chen Yan, could we have achieved this?"
"That's true!" Hong Chi mumbled, glancing at the unconscious Chen Yan and fell silent.
"Where are we going?" Xiao Peng asked Ling Mo Xie. They had already escaped from the chaotic area that had become a true Beast Tide rampage.
"To the capital!" Ling Mo Xie hesitated for a moment before instructing Xiao Peng. He wanted to return to gather intelligence on which areas were still in danger and needed assistance. Additionally, there might be information about Azure Cloud Valley in the capital's Library, which he hadn't had time to explore during his hurried trip with Dongfang Siyu to seek treasure.
"Okay!" Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's command, Xiao Peng responded in a deep voice and suddenly accelerated again, flying at least ten times faster than Ling Mo Xie's own speed—such was the advantage of his race!
In no time, they reached the skies above the capital. The scene below was desolate; soldiers were on high alert, each appearing anxious and fearful. So when Xiao Peng flew over the capital, he was immediately spotted.
"Look! There's a Flying Mount! Is Feng Qian Guo invading us? Attack!" The soldiers shouted as they began launching attacks at Xiao Peng under their officer's command.
Seeing this situation, Ling Mo Xie sighed in dismay. He quickly recalled Xiao Peng and flew towards the City Wall while shouting loudly, "Everyone stand down! I'm not from Feng Qian Guo!"
The soldiers paused their attacks upon seeing only two people approaching them. They hesitated for a moment; if they were truly from Feng Qian Guo, it wouldn't make sense for only two individuals to come. Even if they were arrogant, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Thinking of this, the Generals commanded their Soldiers to stop the attack, preparing to wait for Ling Mo Xie to land on the City Wall before inquiring.
After a while, Ling Mo Xie landed on the City Wall. The Soldiers were initially taken aback upon seeing Ling Mo Xie, but then joyfully exclaimed, "It's Ling Mo Xie! It's Little Pill King Ling Mo Xie!"
Under the strong promotion of the Taoist Sect, those Soldiers had already heard of Ling Mo Xie's name and could even recognize his appearance.
Recognizing Ling Mo Xie, the Soldiers no longer displayed hostility; instead, they appeared somewhat respectful, and there was a hint of eagerness in their gazes toward him.
Everyone knew how significant an Alchemist could be in a battle!
They could concoct healing Elixirs to save soldiers' lives in critical moments. They could create various extraordinary Elixirs that would grant Soldiers unexpected offensive or defensive capabilities, or even enhance the Soldiers' strength for a period of time!
"I'll report to His Majesty!" At this moment, one officer finally came to his senses and said excitedly before turning and running down from the City Wall.
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback by his words and raised his hand to stop him, but the man had already run far away.
Ling Mo Xie let out a long sigh. He truly didn't know how to face Izumo King regarding Dongfang Siyu's matter.
However, he couldn't avoid it; after all, without Izumo King's consent, he couldn't enter the Royal Library in the capital!
"Young Master Ling, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?" One of the officers suggested to Ling Mo Xie.
This person was merely at the mid-stage of Separation and shouldn't be considered a high-ranking official in the army. After all, with Ling Mo Xie's cultivation level, even those higher-ranking Generals would find it difficult to curry favor with him; this was still a world where cultivation level was paramount.
Following the officer, they arrived at a temporarily constructed Command Center. Not long after, they heard loud shouts announcing the King's arrival.
Ling Mo Xie's expression became somewhat tense; at this moment, the King should have already learned about Dongfang Siyu's death.
Indeed, Izumo King walked in with a gloomy expression, casting a fierce glance at Ling Mo Xie, and coldly said, "Do you still have the face to come back? What are you here for? If it weren't for the sake of Taoist Sect, I would really want to slap you to death! Dongfang Siyu..." At this point, Izumo King's throat felt a bit dry.
After all, she was his own daughter. Although he had considered marrying her off to Liu Wanshan for the sake of Izumo Kingdom, that would not mean putting Dongfang Siyu in danger. Now, he wanted to avenge Dongfang Siyu, but for the sake of Izumo Kingdom, he had no choice but to tolerate Ling Mo Xie.
"I..." Ling Mo Xie had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by Izumo King: "Enough! I don't want to hear a word from you, nor do I want to see you. I don't need your help. Letting you leave safely is already my greatest concession for the sake of Taoist Sect!"
Izumo King glanced at Ling Mo Xie and clearly did not want to deal with him any further.
Seeing such a resolute Izumo King, Ling Mo Xie truly did not know how to persuade him and could only watch as Izumo King finished speaking and turned to leave.
"That's not the big guy's fault!" Suddenly spoke up Hong Chi: "Your enemy isn't the big guy. The ones who killed Sister Si Yu were those men in black, not him! What does that even mean? You’re too afraid to confront those men in black, so you shift all the blame onto someone you can confront? Are you deceiving yourself?"
At this moment, Hong Chi was particularly eloquent and spoke rapidly.
However, Izumo King couldn't help but stop in his tracks, then a mocking smile appeared on his face. This child was right; he knew that while blaming Ling Mo Xie, it was indeed those men in black who caused Dongfang Siyu's death. But he had finally uncovered a bit about those men in black's origins and dared not investigate further.
Some soldiers guarding the Treasure had survived, and they traced back to find out about the men in black mingling among them, but that... was something he could not touch!
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, a Soldier rushed in in a panic, disrupting the thoughts of everyone in the room.
Izumo King regained his composure and looked down at the kneeling Soldier, saying, "What is it? You have no sense of decorum; how can you expect to go into battle like this?"
The Soldier, however, paid no heed to Izumo King's reprimand and said with a joyful expression, "Your Majesty, our Izumo Kingdom has been saved!"
Hearing the words of the Soldier, Izumo King's expression changed slightly as he said gloomily, "What do you mean by that? My Izumo Kingdom..." He then found himself unable to continue, sighing deeply. The current state of Izumo Kingdom was indeed precarious and desperately needed a miracle for salvation.
Thus, curiosity arose within Izumo King regarding what the Soldier had said. Knowing that this soldier wouldn't dare joke with him, he quickly asked, "What has happened? How is Feng Qian Guo?"
"Ha ha!" The Soldier couldn't suppress his laughter and said to Izumo King, "Your Majesty, it's Spirit City! The Beast Tide suddenly struck Spirit City, and the army of Feng Qian Guo that besieged Spirit City has been completely annihilated!"
Hearing the Soldier's excited voice, Izumo King was taken aback and said, "You mean Spirit City?"
Spirit City was the last line of defense before the capital. The forces sent by Feng Qian Guo to attack were naturally their main army. The complete annihilation of their forces was undoubtedly great news for Izumo Kingdom!
"Yes!" the Soldier replied, nodding. As he did, he noticed Ling Mo Xie behind Izumo King and exclaimed in surprise, "You, how are you here?"
"What's wrong? Why are you so surprised that he's here?" Upon hearing the Soldier suddenly mention Ling Mo Xie, Izumo King's cheerful expression darkened, and he said discontentedly.
The Soldier's face showed a look of joy as he said, "Your Majesty, according to reports from the surviving soldiers, the Beast Tide was brought about by Ling Gongzi! But I don't understand why Ling Gongzi has already arrived in the capital in such a short time."
The Soldier muttered in confusion.
Upon hearing the Soldier's words, Izumo King stiffened. He turned his head and looked at Ling Mo Xie with a complicated expression, then glanced at Hong Chi beside Ling Mo Xie, who was puffing up in anger. He sighed and said, "He's right; I'm a coward without courage. I have no ability to confront my true enemies but can only vent my anger on others!"
"I never expected you could come up with such an incredible method and actually pull it off! Even I have to admire it!"
"All of this is thanks to him." Ling Mo Xie raised the unconscious Shen Yan in his hand and said to Izumo King, "We returned to the capital to see if there is any place that needs help and also to ask you for a favor."
Ling Mo Xie straightforwardly expressed his thoughts.
