Zhao Huai was located at the top of the Imperial City of Great Xia, looking at the crowd as small as ants, the endless flow of people, the Wei River passing through the city, and the flower boats docked under the bridge, and fell into deep thought.

A year can change a lot of things.

After several years of retreat, I don't know what the situation has become of.

He landed slowly, with a detached temperament.

It attracted the attention of many pedestrians on the street.

"How many years have it been?"

Zhao Huai found a dealer on the side of the road and asked.

When the other party saw his dress, he came from the sky again, and he was definitely a monk who had cultivated to a high level, so he didn't dare to slack off, and said nervously:

"Seven years of Longxing."

"Seven years of Longxing." Zhao Huai muttered softly, and then thought: "The year of my retreat was the second year of Longxing, that is to say, I have been in retreat for five years, which means that the small world has been six years, and only one year has passed outside. ”

Even if it's five years, it's not to be underestimated.

Five years ago, the lands of the states had already seen the first signs of other worlds, indicating that a great war was likely to break out.

"What about the Empress of Great Xia, why not in the capital?"

Zhao Huai continued to ask.

"This. I don't know. ”

"This senior should not have been out of the customs for a long time, and he doesn't know much about today's affairs."

At this time, the voice of a passing monk came from Zhao Huai's side, and he turned his head to look at the other party, a young monk dressed in a brocade robe, and said with a serious expression:

"Since the Empress of Daxia succeeded to the throne, she was wise and martial, and finally maintained peace for a year, and there were many rumors, saying that the empress had an heir, and the Great Xia was in a uproar, and it was finally calmed down, and the King of Changning began to make trouble again, set up his own door, backed by the Demon Gate, and held a lot of troops, which seems to be a matter of four years.

At that time, the empress sent troops to quell the rebellion, but was blocked by the Northern Wolf Empire.

The reason why the empress is not in the capital now is because a major event happened in Xizhou, three years ago, a large number of demons appeared in Xizhou and Beizhou, and many small countries in Xizhou were destroyed, and the HRE Empire was also in a hurry.

As early as six months ago, the imperial court had already announced to the world that the Shenluo Empire in Xizhou was completely broken by the demon clan, the eldest princess of Shenluo was taken prisoner, and all the royal families in the national capital were cast into Jingguan. ”

"Xizhou is in a hurry?"

Zhao Huai's brows furrowed, he didn't expect that in five years, the HRE Empire would have been destroyed.

Could it be that the altar of the desolate world has been completely broken?

Xizhou has become the base camp of the demon clan?

It seems that the situation is already far from optimistic.

"Thank you."

After Zhao Huai thanked the young monk, he couldn't keep his composure, and went away in the sky, rushing towards the great Yan in the south.

Before going to Xizhou, he planned to take a look at Da Yan's current situation, Da Xia was facing the invasion of demons, how could Da Yan start and finish well.

At this time, it was impossible for Da Yan to sit idly by.

After breaking through to the Yuanying Realm, Zhao Huai's hurried speed was very fast, and he arrived at Nanyu Mansion in one fell swoop.

In the sky above Nanyu Mansion, the smoke and waves are confused, and the ancient rivers flow.

Unspeakably bleak.

Zhao Huai fell at the gate of the manor with a heavy heart.

The soldiers of the Great Yan stationed in the garrison wanted to say a word or two, but when they saw the appearance of the person who came, there was a look of disbelief in their eyes, and they shouted one after another:

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has returned!"

"It's really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The news soon reached the ears of Song Zhishu in the mansion.

He hurriedly led people out to greet him, clasped his hands into fists, bowed and saluted:

"Song Zhishu has seen His Highness!"

Facing the excited Song Zhishu, Zhao Huai was also full of emotion.

In the past five years, Song Zhishu's temperament has become more and more calm, and he has changed from a young man to a middle-aged man.

"Your Highness, during the years of your retreat, many great things have happened in the world."

Song Zhishu sighed and said helplessly:

"Five years ago, Da Yan and Da Xia signed a truce agreement, which can be regarded as resting with the people, but Su Li's mother-in-law, Zhou Fang, Dongfang Xuan and other Yan generals investigated and found that the heaven and earth altar in Xizhou has long been broken, and it has not been triggered, just to preserve its strength, the HRE Empire has fallen, and the only one who is still struggling to support the land of a hundred countries is the Tiluo Dynasty with the longest history."

Zhao Huai nodded, and said solemnly: "I also just learned that the demon clan of the reckless world is more cunning than we imagined, I thought that there was still a chance to make amends, and let Su Li's mother-in-law lead people to suppress it, but I didn't expect that the other party had been hiding his strength, and at this time, he had already won most of Xizhou." ”

"It's more than that."

Song Zhishu said in a condensed voice: "Now many miracles have appeared in Xizhou, intended to harvest the incense of the people of Xizhou, which has become a place of right and wrong, and the gods are walking all over the place, and there is chaos. ”

"Miracles?"

This word caught Zhao Huai's attention.

"Yes, the ancient gods believed in by the four major cults have all appeared, it seems that the rules of this heaven and earth have been loosened, and the gods of all sides of heaven and earth are eyeing each other, this is a great crisis in the immortal world."

At the same time as Song Zhishu explained, a bright red blood cloud appeared in the sky, rolling in, with a terrifying aura.

"The breath of good evil."

Zhao Huai frowned.

"That's the Blood Demon King's army."

Song Zhishu explained.

"Blood Demon King?"

Zhao Huai looked at the direction of the blood cloud, as if he was from the north, and it turned out that the territory of Great Xia was the location of the ten states in the north.

"Your Highness, do you remember the Blood Demon that was discovered in the manor five years ago?"

"Naturally, I remember."

"The blood demon is a kind of monster, from Huangquan, three years ago, Xianmen sent a large number of disciples to investigate the matter of the heaven and earth altar, and at the same time suppressed the demons overflowing from the altar, for which the ancestors of all parties have awakened, sitting in Xianmen, to prevent the demon gate from starting a big war against Xianmen at this time."

Song Zhishu paused, his eyes looked at the blood cloud, and there was a sigh in his eyes.

"These blood clouds have appeared in the north since a few years ago, and occasionally blood demons will come out to disturb the human world, among them there are some powerful blood demons, with a combat power that is not good for the Yuan Infant Transformation God Cultivator, we call it the Blood Demon King."

When Zhao Huai heard this, he groaned:

"It seems that today's Northern Wolf Empire is also more auspicious, and the first step for the Blood Demon to invade Zhongzhou is naturally to step through the Northern Wolf Empire."

As if he remembered something, he turned his head and asked, "Granny Su Li, what about Dongfang Xuan, aren't they in Nanyu Mansion?" ”

"They have gone to Xizhou to defend against the invasion of the demon clan."

Song Zhishu replied.

"In the past five years, hasn't the Lingshan Immortal Sect taken any remedial measures?"

Zhao Huai learned that the current Immortal Dao Heaven and Earth War was about to break out, and at the same time he was troubled, he was also very puzzled.

Song Zhishu shook his head, "The strength of the two sides is equal, just take Xizhou as an example, there are suddenly countless demon kings, as well as a number of powerful demon emperors, even if the god ancestor comes out, he doesn't dare to say that he can completely win it." ”

"Before the truth of the altar was announced, there were already many Immortal Sect disciples who were trapped in the land of Xizhou and could not get out of trouble, among which the Immortal Dao Guan Gu Tianji had been missing for a year."

"Gu Tianji is missing."

When Zhao Huai heard the news, his heart was also very heavy.

Anyway, Gu Tianji also helped him a lot, but now his life and death are unknown.

Song Zhishu sighed: "That's why the Empress of Great Xia will issue an order to eliminate demons and order monks from all over the world to go to Xizhou to eliminate demons. ”

Zhao Huai thought about it and said:

"At present, you are still in charge of the affairs of Dayan, to ensure internal stability, and I will handle the external affairs, whether it is the reckless world or the Huangquan world, it cannot threaten the thousands of people in Zhongzhou."

"Yes."

After Zhao Huai explained, he didn't stay too long, and after taking a look at the blood cloud, he officially flew in the direction of Xizhou.

On the way, he passed a small city on the northern edge, where a solid cloud of blood had landed.

And this city is full of smoke and smoke, and it has obviously been invaded.

Many people fled from the city gate in a panic.

One by one, the figures with blood pupils flew out of the city, their bodies cracked from the middle, revealing a row of fangs, swallowing a man into his belly, there was no doubt that he was a monster.

Zhao Huai slowly landed, and the breath belonging to Yuan Ying was released.

Disperse the blood clouds, grabbed the body of this blood demon with one hand, and pinched it hard.

"Bang!"

The opponent's entire body exploded and turned into a blood mist.

But it's not over, the blood dregs are still wriggling, trying to coalesce.

Zhao Huai's eyes narrowed, and he stood with his two fingers together, pointing towards the sky.

A purple thunderbolt fell from the sky, illuminating the city.

Sections of the city wall are covered in it, like a miracle.
