102: Chapter 102 The Worries of the People of Great Xia, the Target of the Three Fiend Generals

It had only been five days since Xia Jin returned to the Great Xia Imperial Palace from the Green Lotus Secret Realm.

Inside the Jin Wang Palace of the Great Xia Imperial Palace, the room was already filled with people.

Emperor Xia Yu of Great Xia and the others all had their brows tightly furrowed, their gazes fixed on Xia Jin before them.

Only Xia Jin remained without a trace of tension, his eyes closed as if savoring the lingering fragrance of tea in his mouth.

“Big Brother!!” After Emperor Xia Yu took a few sips of tea, he still seemed to feel a bit parched. After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up and said anxiously, “According to news from refugees of the Lieyang Dynasty, the entire Lieyang Dynasty has now been almost completely destroyed, and ninety-nine percent of the commoners have died tragically!”

“The spies we planted in Great Qian and other countries also sent back news today. It seems those who wiped out the Lieyang Dynasty have already set their sights on the surrounding nations. I... I worry that the flames of war will eventually spread to Great Xia!”

“What on earth should we do now?!”

As he spoke, Commander Qin Hu, Eunuch Wei, and the others nearby also nodded, their faces filled with worry.

“Husband!!” Leng Yuexi looked at Xia Jin, who still had his eyes closed, and hurriedly shook his hand. Xia Jin then slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calmly sweeping over everyone: “It seems you all think this way?”

“Soldiers will be blocked by generals, and water will be covered by earth. You needn't worry too much about whether disaster will befall Great Xia in the future.” Xia Jin squeezed Leng Yuexi's soft, delicate hand and said in a deep voice: “But... we indeed need to make preparations in advance.”

Saying that, he pointed to the map of the East Xuan Continent hanging on the wall, his gaze landing on an island off the southeastern coast of Great Xia: “There is a solitary island a hundred miles off the coast of Great Xia called ‘Canglan Islet’. Previously, many fishermen from Great Xia used it as a temporary supply point. There is plenty of water on the island, and though the land is not fertile, it is enough for a temporary refuge.”

“Starting tomorrow, you can notify the people of Great Xia that if they are worried about disaster, they can voluntarily head to Canglan Islet to take refuge first.” Xia Jin said, his gaze falling on Emperor Xia Yu and Princess Jiang Rou, who was standing quietly nearby. “The specific operation will be handled by the two of you.”

“Canglan Islet? I have indeed heard Commander Qin Hu mention it before. As a temporary refuge, it is indeed a good place!” Emperor Xia Yu was startled, then nodded: “Don't worry, Big Brother, we will handle this matter!”

“By the way, you mentioned the disaster in the Lieyang Dynasty, did you find out the cause?!” Xia Jin narrowed his eyes, looking at Emperor Xia Yu.

That Lieyang Dynasty possessed two powerhouses in the Land Immortal Realm, Ziyang and Daoist Xuanming. Although they were backlashed by the Dragon Vein and struck by his Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, the two of them had managed to escape back.

Even if they were injured, they were not someone ordinary people could deal with.

With these two around, for the Lieyang Dynasty to fall into such a state, it seems the people or forces behind it are definitely not simple.

“Your Highness!! I have heard some news, but I cannot confirm whether it is true!!” At this moment, Commander Qin Hu, standing behind Emperor Xia Yu, suddenly spoke.

“Speak!!”

“Your Highness! I heard from a refugee girl from the Lieyang Dynasty that when the capital, Yongning City, was destroyed a few days ago, she and her younger brother saw three figures suddenly descend upon the city with their own eyes!” Commander Qin Hu said seriously, “However, unfortunately, according to the girl, they lost consciousness afterward and did not see clearly what those three looked like.”

“There are actually three of them?” Xia Jin couldn't help but frown, but soon, his face became incredibly confident.

“Continue doing what you should be doing!! With this Prince in Great Xia, no one can stir up trouble!”

“Big Brother, with your words, I am at ease!” Emperor Xia Yu looked at the incredibly confident Xia Jin and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

And Eunuch Wei and the others also relaxed their tense bodies. After all, Xia Jin had never failed to fulfill anything he said.

After everyone left, only Xia Jin and Leng Yuexi remained in the Jin Wang Palace.

Xia Jin reached out and pulled Leng Yuexi into his arms, nuzzling her slightly reddened face, and asked with a smile: “How is the Legacy of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal I gave you last time coming along?”

Leng Yuexi traced circles on Xia Jin's chest with her finger and said softly: “Among us, only Sister Xuanji has practiced the sword since childhood and has the best sword talent. The Legacy of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal eventually chose her! I went to check on her progress yesterday, and it seems the acceptance is going smoothly. I expect it won't be long before she can fully receive the Legacy of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal!”

Xia Jin stared deeply into Leng Yuexi's eyes, making her turn her head away in embarrassment: “Yue Xi, as this Prince's wife, do you find it a pity? After all, that Legacy was originally prepared for you.”

Leng Yuexi suddenly laughed: “Never mind! I'm not good at using swords anyway! I believe there will be a better Legacy waiting for me in the future. I am already very content that my husband thought of me.”

“You certainly take it well!” Hearing this, a look of relief flashed in Xia Jin's eyes, and he kissed her lightly on the forehead. “What more could a man ask for with such a wife.”

...

Meanwhile, within the borders of the Lieyang Dynasty.

Another city was turned into ruins under a giant palm falling from the sky.

Elder Mo Ya and the other two floated above the city, with blood Qi still floating around them, not yet fully absorbed. After slowly opening their eyes, there wasn't much joy on their faces.

Hei Tu looked at his still withered hand and couldn't help but frown, clearly dissatisfied: “Devouring the blood Qi of these mortals is helping us less and less. After working for so long, we've only recovered thirty to forty percent of our strength from our Peak period.”

“Hehehehe!! Hei Tu.” Elder Mo Ya thought for a moment and then smiled sinisterly, “I happen to know that in the ‘Blackwater Marsh’ at the border of the Lieyang Dynasty, there is a Black Flood Dragon that has cultivated very deeply. If we could devour its Dragon blood Qi and inner core, perhaps the three of us...”

“Mo Ya, shut your mouth!!” White Luan's cold eyes looked at Mo Ya with a hint of warning, “I'm warning you, if you want to touch that Black Flood Dragon, I'll kill you first!!”

Mo Ya's face stiffened, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: “White Luan, what do you mean? That Black Flood Dragon is just a beast! Why can't we touch it?”

“Do you really not know, you old ghost, or are you pretending? That Black Flood Dragon has a history with 'That Person' from the East Sea.” White Luan's gaze unconsciously drifted eastward, “If you touch it and That Person finds out, not only you, but the two of us will also be implicated.”

“Besides, do you really think that with your current strength, you would be a match for that Black Flood Dragon? Stop dreaming!”

After being scolded by White Luan, Elder Mo Ya opened his mouth but eventually shut it sullenly, a hint of resentment flashing in the depths of his eyes.

And Hei Tu scratched his head, looking at White Luan helplessly: “I say, Big Sister! What should we do then? At this rate, when will we ever recover to fifty percent of our Peak strength?!”

A look of ruthlessness flashed in White Luan's eyes: “If devouring Lieyang isn't enough, then we'll continue to devour Great Qian next!! If devouring Great Qian is still not enough, then we'll continue to devour the other nations.”
