Chapter 126: Princess Sheng Zhixia!
Chapter 126: Princess Sheng Zhixia!
North of Southern Wind City.
A flying boat swept across the sky.
The flying boat was carved with dragons and phoenixes. It was incomparably luxurious. Clearly, it was not an ordinary immortal treasure.
A young girl was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe. Her clothes were embroidered with dragon patterns, both of her hands were on the head of the dragon.
Her black hair hung down like a waterfall, her facial structure perfect, and her brows as delicate as a painting.
It was none other than Sheng Clan’s Third Princess, Sheng Zhixia!
“General Wang, how far are we from Southern Wind City?” Sheng Zhixia asked.
Behind her, a muscular man in armor cupped his hands and said, “Reporting to the Third Princess, there are still over two hundred kilometers left.”
Sheng Zhixia nodded. “We should be here soon.”
Ever since the Grand Myriad Mountain Range demon beasts had made a move, the Imperial Court had immediately received the news.
Hearing that a village had been destroyed by demon beasts, Sheng Zhixia volunteered to investigate.
However, the southern border was too far away from the central plains. It had already entered the territory belonging to various sects, and there was no Sheng Clan teleportation array there.
Therefore, she could only teleport to a city that was tens of thousands of miles away and then fly through a flying boat.
A day and night had already passed.
“To fight for the Immortal Destinies, the various sects probably arrived yesterday,” General Wang said. “Right now, the Righteous and Devils of Southern Wind City are all gathered together. Third Princess must be careful!”
Sheng Zhixia shook her head, “It’s fine. I’m not interested in Immortal Destinies. I only hope that the citizens of Southern Wind City will be safe and sound.”
A trace of worry flashed across her pretty face.
This unusual movement attracted the attention of many sects.
There must be a large number of people from the Devil Sect in Southern Wind City, including the Death Prison and the Joyous Unity Sect… Even the first-ranked Heavenly Devil might be here!
They saw human life as a waste. If they were to get into a conflict with the Righteous Path, the innocent people in the city would suffer.
They were all citizens of her Sheng Clan!
“Hurry up!” Sheng Zhixia couldn’t help but urge.
The qi gathering array on the flying boat lit up and flew towards Southern Wind City as fast as possible.
Not long after, the huge city appeared in her eyes.
At this time, General Wang exclaimed, “Third Princess, quickly look down!”
When Sheng Zhixia heard this, she looked down and was stunned.
What kind of miserable scene was this?
Countless corpses laid across the ground, extending countless miles from the city gate!
Limbs were scattered everywhere, and blood dyed the loess dark red. Even from the sky, one could smell the pungent smell of blood.
From above, it looked like a huge carpet made of flesh and blood!
The flying boat slowly landed.
Sheng Zhixia stared blankly at what seemed akin to the Purgatory.
The corpses of all sorts of demon beasts stretched as far as one’s eye could see. There was no lack of huge wild bears, strange birds… There was even a Thunderous Feral Lion!
“This is… The demon beast attacked the city?” General Wang’s throat was a little tense.
Even though he had been on the battlefield for a long time, he had never seen such a tragic scene.
Sheng Zhixia suddenly snapped back to her senses. “Not good. The citizens of the city!”
Even demon beasts had suffered such heavy casualties. Wouldn’t the mortals in that city already be…
She rose from the airboat and rushed towards Southern Wind City with lightning speed.
“Princess, be careful of the demons in the city!”
General Wang hurriedly followed.
Sheng Zhixia had just entered the city when the scene in front of her stunned her.
The city was not as miserable as she had imagined. On the contrary, it was so lively that she couldn’t believe it.
Quite a few cultivators were meditating in the plaza. The citizens beside them were busy helping them carry food and water. She even saw Righteous Path disciples helping the Devil Path heal their wounds…
From time to time, a wave of laughter sounded, and the atmosphere was simply too harmonious to be true.
“This…”
The people of Sheng Zhixia were dumbfounded.
When General Wang and the others arrived, they were shocked by the scene before them.
He rubbed his eyes. “What… what’s going on? How did the Righteous Path and the Devil Path end up together? Why would mortals dare to laugh alongside cultivators?”
A day had just passed, and the entire city had become unfamiliar!
“Where’s the Southern Wind City Lord? Her Highness has arrived!”
After a moment of silence, everyone turned around to look at them.
When the City Lord saw the flood dragon-robed Sheng Zhixia, he couldn’t help trembling and hastily ran over.
“This lowly one stands as the City Lord of Southern Wind City. Greetings, Third Princess! I didn’t know that the princess is here, I hope the princess can forgive me!”
This set of clothes already indicated her identity. Princess Flood Dragon, Sheng Zhixia!
Sheng Zhixia nodded. “It’s fine.”
Only then did the City Lord stand up.
“I see that the demon beasts outside the city have suffered countless casualties, but the city seems to be safe and sound. What exactly happened?” Sheng Zhixia asked.
The City Lord replied, “Last night, the demon beasts of the Grand Myriad Mountain Range went on a rampage and formed the demon beast tide, attacking the city…”
He told them everything that had happened last night.
Sheng Zhixia was stunned.
She could tell that the corpses outside the city were proof.
However, to her surprise, the cultivators of the Righteous Path and Devil Path had joined forces to fight against the demon beasts and protected hundreds of thousands of mortals in the city.
This was simply unimaginable!
At this moment, she saw Lin Langyue, who was standing at the side and quickly walked over. “Fairy Lin!”
Lin Langyue nodded slightly. “Princess Sheng.”
Sheng Zhixia bowed deeply and said gratefully, “Thank you for leading the cultivators to protect the citizens of Southern Wind City. On behalf of the Imperial Family, I express my sincere thanks to you!”
From her point of view, Lin Langyue must be the one taking the lead to fight the demon tide.
Only this first-ranked genius had such strength and cohesion.
But unexpectedly, Lin Langyue shook her head and said, “I wasn’t the leader. Princess Sheng should be thanking someone else…”
“Hmm?”
Sheng Zhixia was puzzled. “What does Fairy Lin mean?”
At this moment, the crowd suddenly quieted down.
The cultivators all stood up and opened up a passageway.
A man with a well-toned upper body and the presence of a dragon slowly walked over.
The surroundings became completely silent, everyone’s eyes were filled with reverence in an instant.
When General Wang saw the person’s appearance, his brows jumped.
He hastily blocked Sheng Zhixia behind him and pulled out his sword. “Princess, be careful, it’s the Devil Sect’s Sheng Zi Li Ran!”
“Li Ran?!”
The accompanying guards’ hearts trembled as they pulled out their weapons.
That was the legendary first-ranked Heavenly Devil!
In the end, before Sheng Zhixia could say anything, a wave of metal clashing rang out.
All the cultivators took out their immortal treasures and rushed over, glaring at them covetously!
Qin Ruyan’s eyes were ice-cold. Her hands were filled with qi, ready to strike.
Yue Jianli’s sword trembled as if it was about to strike General Wang’s throat at any second!
The Righteous and Devil Path had confronted the Imperial Clan for Li Ran!
The atmosphere was grave and tense!
“……”
General Wang gulped, feeling that something was wrong.
