Ding-dong--

At the Xi Yangyang Hotpot Restaurant, the wind chimes on the eaves tinkle and jingle.

The enormous warship of Clear Abyss Sect, Elder Qian's prized possession, a behemoth that consumes two Profound Crystal each time it is activated, hovered in front of the hot pot restaurant.

"What's going on? Why is Clear Abyss Sect setting up this formation? Are they about to go to war?"

"Don't you know? Calamity Beast tide has broken out in the Southern Border, but the Prince of Southern Pacification has to return to the Imperial Capital to report on his duties, so he can't stay at the Southern Pass. I'm also planning to move my whole family to Yun Province."

"Yeah, I wonder if Xi Yangyang Hotpot Restaurant will open a branch in Yun Province..."

The few diners were discussing it.

The winds of impending fall from the Southern Pass have been blowing faintly into the Eastern Wasteland Domain, and even ordinary people have heard the news.

"Have you all finally made up your minds?"

Mei Yun stood up and went to greet Xue Jing, who was disembarking from the warship.

"Yes, we plan to go to Southern Border. Even if there's only the slightest chance, we have to bring those two little ones back. We need to see them alive or dead."

Xue Jing said with a solemn expression.

This was the result of a joint discussion among the elders.

Mei Yun was somewhat surprised, but after a moment of silence, as if recalling what the mistress had done back then, she felt that it was not incomprehensible.

If Chulong's fate were unknown, she would do the same.

"Where is Miss Little Jiang?" Xue Jing asked.

She's still asleep.

Mei Yun noticed that Jiang Chulong seemed to have become stronger every time she woke up from a dream.

She guessed it was probably the work of that master who could preach in dreams, but knew nothing else.

"He's a silly kid too."

Xue Jing sighed and took out a box from his pocket, inside which was a pill.

"Thank you... please be careful."

Mei Yun hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

This elixir is made primarily from the Dream Epiphyllum. It can induce a deep sleep in the user, is not only harmless to the body, but also enhances the Will Soul and will.

This was made by Xue Jing at Mei Yun's request.

Jiang Chulong refused to leave, leaving Mei Yun with no other choice but to resort to this drastic measure.

"Even if she resents me and hates me for the rest of her life when she wakes up, I still have to take her away..."

That's what she was thinking.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from behind. Jiang Chulong walked briskly, her face slightly flushed, seemingly very excited. She had been worried for many days and hadn't seen such an expression on her face in a long time.

"Aunt Mei, Aunt Mei!"

"What's wrong? Have some water first."

Mei Yun remained calm and placed the pill into the water bottle.

I poured a glass of water for Jiang Chulong, who took a couple of perfunctory sips, her eyes sparkling as she said:

"Big Brother Li is alright, Greenwood City is alright, and Southern Border is alright!"

She was so excited she stopped stuttering.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Are you alright?

How did she know?

Moreover, with the Prince of Southern Pacification absent, how could the Southern Border remain safe and sound?

The fighting over there is still ongoing.

How did you know?

"It was Master who told me."

Jiang Chulong blinked and yawned.

Strange, she just woke up, why is she sleepy again...?

"The city has been... defended by Big Brother Li..."

She forced herself to finish the sentence, her eyelids already drooping.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering if Jiang Chulong was still half asleep and had a sweet dream because she had been thinking about it day and night.

According to the information they had, it was uncertain whether Greenwood City could hold out until they arrived without falling.

Li Mo and Ying Bing are indeed the likes of which are rare in their lives, and cannot be described as geniuses.

But their level of understanding is still too low.

Let alone the Divine Observation Realm, even the Inner Scene and External Scene Realm seem insignificant on the battlefield.

"What else did your teacher say?"

Mei Yun suddenly regretted that she had been too hasty in giving the Dream-Epiphany Pill to Jiang Chulong.

She knew that Jiang Chulong practiced martial arts with the master in her dreams every night.

With such unpredictable and mysterious abilities, the things he says are probably not baseless.

Just then.

Xiao Qin ran over from a distance and shouted:

"The Hidden Dragon Ranking has been released!"

Yun Province.

Inside a restaurant by Fish-Dragon Lake.

At this time, the restaurant was guarded by fierce-looking guards, and ordinary people could not enter at all.

Dressed in simple clothes, the Prince of Southern Pacification, with graying temples, was watching the bustling scene at the shore of Fish-Dragon Lake. Without turning his head, he addressed the people behind him:

"Elder Xu, how have you been?"

"There's war in the Southern Border, yet the Prince of Southern Pacification seems unhurried. Wasn't he supposed to be returning to the Imperial Capital to report on his duties? How come he has time to come and view the results?"

Before the white-haired youth could speak, Elder Zeng, who loved reading, frowned and said with displeasure.

Whether I go to the Imperial Capital to report for duty is not important; what matters is that I'm not in the Southern Border.

"Prince of Southern Pacification Zhong Qin said softly."

Elder Xu squinted. "Prince Zhong, could it be that you're thinking of our past relationship and want to persuade us to leave Yun Province?"

"We should still try to persuade them."

Zhong Qin's voice was devoid of sorrow or joy.

"I hate riddle tellers the most," Elder Zeng muttered.

The Heavenly Court is ruthless. Their Cloud-Crossing Sword City was once the place where the Martial Emperor studied, but now the holy land of swordsmanship is Heavenly Mountain Sword Villa.

At this moment, the head of the personal guards entered the restaurant, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Your Prince, the Young Marquis has caught up with you and wants to see you."

"So fast?"

Zhong Qin raised an eyebrow, then nodded.

A moment later, the head of the guards brought Zhong Zhenyue up. He was travel-worn and looked exhausted, but his weary eyes remained resolute.

"Father, don't you know about the military situation in Greenwood City?"

"..."

Zhong Qin finally turned around. He didn't have any military air about him, and he was dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, yet he gave people a sense of authority without being angry.

His son had always revered him as a god since he was a child.

But now, he's speaking in a questioning tone.

Zhong Qin was silent for a moment, then asked:

"Then tell me what you know."

"The Great Shang Remnants and various tribes in the Southern Border, with a combined army of at least 120,000 and several high-grade Calamity Beast, have been mobilized by Han Zhen, the Great Shang Imperial Preceptor, to invade Greenwood City."

The two elders of Cloud-Crossing Sword City frowned.

The situation in Southern Border is far more serious than they imagined.

Zhong Qin's eyelids twitched.

He took a deep breath and said:

"I understand. You can go and rest now."

"Father!"

Zhong Zhenyue stared incredulously at Zhong Qin, whom he revered like a god.

He wanted to say that there were still many comrades in Greenwood City, and Uncle Qu, who had followed his father for decades.

Brother Li is also still in the city.

But Zhong Qin had already turned his back.

"It's only a matter of time before Greenwood City falls."

Elder Xu's expression was uncertain:

"Does His Majesty intend to hand over even the Southern Pass so easily?"

The two sides are not significantly different in troop strength.

However, the soldiers of Greenwood City lacked food and pay, and their morale was low, while the enemy was clearly well-prepared and determined to win.

"Young Hero Li and Miss Ying, are they still in the city...?"

Elder Zeng muttered to himself.

He unconsciously touched the book "The Overbearing Empress Falls in Love With Me" in his arms.

Will he be unable to watch anything anymore?!

Just then.

Boom--

On Fish-Dragon Lake, the Dragon Gate radiates thousands of auspicious rays, illuminating the layered clouds.

The latest Hidden Dragon Ranking is about to be released.
