Zhang Xuanchen's Thoughts

Tang Yuntian felt a pang of guilt as he recalled the scene.

"I'm sorry, Senior Hanyan, I've dragged you all into this."

"If it weren't for protecting me, you wouldn't be in this predicament today."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hanyan frowned slightly and said:

"Yuntian, this is not your fault."

"No need to think too much. As long as you are alive, the Great Qian Dynasty is not truly dead."

In this great era, fortuitous opportunity abound, greatly increasing the chances of rising to power. Focus on your cultivation.

When we have enough strength, we can reclaim lost territory and rebuild the Great Qian.

The Blood Demon Empire will perish, and the Demon Calamity will eventually recede.

Everything will come back.

Hearing these words, Tang Yuntian felt a little better.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Luo Hanyan, "Thank you for Hanyan comfort, Senior Hanyan."

"Yuntian will forever remember the kindness shown to the Luo Family."

Just then, Luo Lingshuang spoke up to remind her:

"Ancestor Hanyan, this place is not safe to stay any longer."

"Since these Devil Creature are after you, there must be more than just these."

Let's leave this place first.

Upon hearing this, Luo Hanyan nodded. "Ling Shuang is right."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Xuanchen took out the Wavebreaker.

A silver Flying Boat appeared before everyone's eyes, hovering above the sea.

"Ancestor Hanyan, you should board the Flying Boat first. Your injuries are quite severe, and you need to recover."

"This Flying Boat is only at the Fourth Stage. Even if those Devil Creature really do come after us, they certainly won't believe that you and the Crown Prince of Great Qian would be here."

"Even if they do come, it's fine. As long as they're not at the Void Refinement, our strength is more than enough to handle them."

Luo Hanyan gave Abyss Ao a deep look.

He nodded immediately, "Okay!"

After everyone boarded the Wavebreaker, Little Peach, following Luo Hanyan's instructions, controlled the Flying Boat to head towards the Luo Clan's territory.

On the deck, after Tang Yuntian swallowed a pill, a white light enveloped the hideous wound on his chest, and the bleeding gradually stopped.

He then walked up to Zhang Xuanchen and the others and bowed deeply.

"If it weren't for everyone's timely arrival today, Senior Hanyan and I..."

"I will never forget Yuntian life-saving grace."

"Although I am now a person of a fallen kingdom, powerless and without influence, as long as I have a breath left, if any of you ever ask for my help in the future, I will do my utmost to repay you."

Zhang Xuanchen raised his hand and used his spiritual power to help him up.

"Your Excellency need not be so polite."

"Shuang'er is a member of the Luo Clan. Since Ancestor Luo and the elders are in danger, we naturally cannot stand idly by."

To be honest, it's a real shame.

If the Great Qian hadn't been destroyed, finding the other half of the Fragmentary Map would have been incredibly easy.

What a pity, what a pity.

The Blood Demon Empire has destroyed the Great Qian, so who's next?

If it truly grows to an unparalleled level, what hope will the Xuanqiong Realm have left?

The eight Devil Creature slain today are just the beginning.

On the other side, Luo Hanyan did not immediately go into seclusion to heal her injuries, but instead pulled Luo Lingshuang into the room.

Clearly, she had many things she wanted to ask Luo Lingshuang privately.

Upon entering the room, she first swallowed a Healing Pill.

He temporarily suppressed his internal injuries, then grasped Luo Lingshuang's hand and asked:

"Ling Shuang, how have you been in the South Sea all these years?"

"The news that Yichen sent back to the clan was ultimately limited; he only said that he had found you and that you were already married."

"And your cultivation level, how did it improve so rapidly?"

Is that kid good to you?

"Has anyone in the Zhang Family bullied you?"

"You've been married for several years now, have you had any children?"

One question after another was thrown at her, and Luo Lingshuang didn't know which one to answer first. Helplessly, she said:

"Ancestor Hanyan, you're asking so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hanyan smiled and patted her hand.

"No rush, no rush, we have plenty of time, you can speak slowly."

"Ancestor Hanyan, I'm sure my elder brother has told you about my experiences in the South Sea."

How are you doing? That's naturally excellent.

"As for offspring, I already have them, and they are twins, a boy and a girl, whose talents are no less than mine."

"What! You're just as good as me! Really?!"

"It's true, but it's a long way, so I didn't bring it..."

Outside, Luo Qinghe and the others also entered the quiet room to heal their injuries.

With outsiders present, Great Sage, Abyss Ao, Little Star, and Little Peach became much more restrained.

They all went back to their rooms to sleep and cultivate.

Zhang Xuanchen went to the bow of the ship alone.

At dusk.

A crimson setting sun hangs at the horizon where the sea meets the sky, gilding the vast sea with a brilliant red hue.

The Wavebreaker Waves sped above the Cloud Sea, seagulls soared, and occasionally a whale-like creature burst out of the sponge and let out a long cry.

The surrounding clouds rushed backward.

Zhang Xuanchen stood with his hands behind his back, quietly gazing at the rare and beautiful scenery before him.

My thoughts are racing.

The news of the fall of the Great Qian Dynasty disrupted his original plans.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuanchen closed his eyes, and a wisp of his soul entered his sea of consciousness.

He looked at Xuanjing and Shuoxing and asked:

"Xuanjing, Shuoxing."

Do you have any methods for searching souls?

Upon hearing this, Shuoxing nodded and said:

"The method of soul searching naturally exists."

"However, ordinary Soul Searching Technique not only easily damage the soul, but also the memories obtained are mostly incomplete."

If there are restrictions within the mind of the person being searched, forcibly searching their soul could even cause their soul to self-destruct on the spot.

At this point, Shuoxing paused slightly, as if he had realized something.

"Xuan Chen, do you intend to search Heiyao's soul, then disguise yourself and infiltrate the Blood Demon Empire?"

Zhang Xuanchen nodded. "Not bad."

"That's why I spared Heiyao's life earlier."

"With its cultivation reaching the Fifth-grade Mid-Stage, its status in the Blood Demon Empire must be quite remarkable."

To obtain it as quickly as possible, the only option is to infiltrate the heart of the Blood Demon Empire using this method.

"At that time, it will be much easier to find the Fragmentary Map, or to coordinate with various forces in the Central Lands to wipe out the Blood Demon Empire."

After listening, Xuanjing pondered for a moment and said:

"But Brother Chen, isn't this method too dangerous?"

"Don't forget, the Blood Demon Empire has two Void Refinement experts."

Moreover, even if we do manage to infiltrate, do you really think the Luo Clan will agree to join forces with you?

There's a saying...

"Oh, right, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl."

"No matter how outstanding Sister Shuang is, she is still a member of the Zhang Family in the end."

She has just returned to the Luo Clan and has no foothold in the community. Her influence is limited, and it's impossible for her to command the entire Luo Clan to follow her or your arrangements.

"Even if the Luo Clan were willing to provide full assistance, other forces might not be willing to join forces."

"The Blood Demon Empire has two Void Refinement Saint Lords, and the various forces each have their own agendas."

"Without sufficient incentive, why would they risk heavy losses to fight the Blood Demon Empire to the death?"

"If it were that simple, the Blood Demon Empire would never have expanded to its current size."
