As the Dragon Eagle was whizzing over, it was still a distance from Stellarsky City; the chase had taken them to the territories of the Northern Liang Kingdom already. It took them around sixteen hours when they were on pursuit, but it was detouring route. Even though they were on a straight path back, it still required around eight hours before they could make it back to the city.

“What kind of vase can actually store a demonic beast? Won’t it suffocate it? Can it actually store a human inside?”

Jiang Yi could sense the little fox which was in a deep sleep within and asked the little monk, Huigeng who was behind him, with some doubt. This little monk had an esteemed status in the Great Zen Monastery, and he was equipped with Buddhism artifacts. He should have some knowledge about such items.

“Amitabha!”

The little monk’s glanced at the vase with his eyes which were clear like the reflection on water. He nodded and replied, “I have heard from my Grandmaster Uncle that this vase is called a Green Clear Vase, and it is a famous artifact. It went missing for centuries and surprisingly appeared here today. This vase is the only spatial artifact that can store a living being, but that living being cannot put up any resistance when being stored. Moreover, the space within is very small, right? It shouldn’t be able to store too many individuals!”

“So that’s how it is!”

Jiang Yi looked at the Green Clear Vase with a little disappointment. He originally thought it could forcefully trap an enemy inside, but it seemed like it was only a slightly special spatial artifact.

Since it could store a living human, this item was still considered useful. If it could store a few dozen experts inside and suddenly released them, it could be used a surprise attack.

Jiang Yi immersed in his thoughts again and looked at the little fox. That little fox suddenly opened its eyes and called out with confusion. “Ji-Ji!”

“The little fox is awake!”

Thinking with his consciousness, Jiang Yi made the Green Clear Vase glow; and a white little fox appeared in mid-air, shocking everyone. The little fox’s eyes were filled with fear as it cried out chaotically while swiftly releasing a delicate fragrance from its body.

“Xiao Fei, don’t do anything reckless!”

Jiang Yi frantically yelled out. Everyone around him was an expert which might have a strong soul spirit. The little fox’s charming demonic arts might not be able to penetrate their defenses, but if they happened to get charmed, it would be troublesome.

“My Lord, is it you?”

When the little fox saw Jiang Yi, its face was instantly filled with delight. Its jewel-like eyes were shining resplendently. It flew towards Jiang Yi’s shoulder as it sent a message while its eyes were radiating with white light. “My Lord, are you the one who saved Xiao Fei?!”

Jiang Yi extended his hand and smiled. “Xiao Fei, don’t be scared. You are safe now. I will bring you to see your Empress Mother immediately.”

“Ji-Ji!”

The little fox was extremely happy, smiling so much that its eyes narrowed into a seam. Jiang Yi was the first human that it knew, and since Jiang Yi let it off without killing it, the little fox had a good impression towards Jiang Yi. It even offered a Silver-Moon Demon Wolf. This time, Jiang Yi had saved it; thus, it naturally treated Jiang Yi as a friend.

This Three-Tailed Spirit Fox had comparable spirit wisdom to a human, but it was too young and had a mindset of a young lass. As long as a person was nice towards it, it would feel like that person was treating it well and could trust that person.

“Ji-Ji!”

The little fox was jumping around Jiang Yi before it suddenly sent another message. “My Lord. Xiao Fei is so hungry. Is there anything to eat? Xiao Fei has yet to eat for a very long time.”

“Sure!”

Jiang Yi rubbed the little fox’s head with some heartache. In his eyes, this little fox was no longer just a demonic beast, but a person—a cute little lass. His Fire Spirit Pearl flashed, producing some meat jerky and clean water for the little fox to consume.

Why is this little fox so intimate with Jiang Yi?

Everyone exchanged eye contact when they saw that Jiang Yi was feeding the little fox slowly while the little fox was smiling while eating. It would even cry out intimately to Jiang Yi from time to time.

Demonic beasts and humans were born as innately born as mortal enemies!

Once they encountered one another, it would mean the death of either one; and there was no mercy. Unless if the demonic beast was tamed into a spirit beast, it would never be so friendly towards a human. Even though the little fox had very high spirit wisdom and knew that Jiang Yi saved her, it still wouldn’t behave so intimately, right?

Jiang Yi is going to rise!

Everyone had the same conclusion. Seeing that Jiang Yi was in such a good relationship with the little fox, it meant that he had a formidable backer. In the entire Stellarsky Continent, the Demon Empress’ combat strength was definitely no.1. Unless one of the top ten martial experts broke through the final phase, no one would be able to go against her. Since Jiang Yi was on good terms with the little fox and coupling with the fact that he rescued the little fox, the Demon Empress would definitely be grateful to him. If Jiang Yi was in any trouble in the future, she might offer to help him.

There is hope for the continent!

Principal Qi and the others were considering another problem. Since Jiang Yi was on good terms with the little fox, he could communicate with the little fox and ask her to convince the Demon Empress to withdraw her troops. It would then help them to survive this calamity.

Principal Qi sent two messages to Jiang Yi and burst out with a loud yell. “Everyone, increase your speed and make haste towards Stellarsky City at your fastest speed.”

Stellarsky City’s current situation was grim. Scouts had reported that the demonic beast army had already arrived at the borders of the Northern Mang Kingdom and would take another four to six hours before reaching Stellarsky City.

With the demonic beast army impeding, the city began to erupt with panic. The citizens of the Stellarsky City had resided in this city for generations for the past 10,000 years and had already treated this place as their only home as they seldom went out of the city to the other six vassal kingdoms.

In the hearts of Stellarsky City’s citizens, they considered themselves as the members of the Empire. Even though the Empire was only existing in name, they believed that they were superior and naturally wouldn’t want to live in the vassal kingdoms. They regarded the six vassal kingdoms with thorough hatred and had always hoped for the day that the Empire would truly rule the continent and restore their former glory.

When the Imperial Princes and Princesses departed from the city today, countless merchant associations began to conduct large-scale migrations, ultimately causing the citizens to panic. The fear quickly spread throughout the entire city like a famine. In their hearts, they might be willing to die along with the Stellarsky City; but when death was at the doors, the human’s basic survival instinct still occupied their inner hearts.

Initially, the citizens asked their younger generations to follow those merchant associations and evacuate to the Northern Liang Kingdom. Gradually, they followed suit and began to evacuate themselves. Finally, there was a large-scale evacuation as there was a constant flow of citizens rushing towards the eastern city gates. Soon enough—because of the large number of individuals, there were disturbances which increased the amount of death count due to trampling.

“Go, all of you, go!”

Princess Ling Xue was standing on the highest architecture in the imperial palace, the Sacrificial Stars Platform. While she was looking down from above at this ancient city which had been standing for tens of thousands of years, she could feel this indescribable solitude.

She had been innately intelligent since a young age, which was abnormally demonic. She even had the rare soul spirit which allowed her to cultivate soul spirit secret arts with rapid progress. Right now, she was comparable to a fifth-stage Soul Travel Realm expert when using her soul spirit secret art. She was only seventeen years old, and such talents were rarely seen.

When the late Emperor was still around, he had lamented many times. What a pity it was for Ling Xue to be a woman; otherwise, she would be able to lead the Empire towards glory. Despite the case—when the late Emperor was lying sick in bed and was aware of the fact that he didn’t have much time to live, he firmly decided for Ling Xue to be Regent and gave her the authority to command the Empire. Who would have expected that… when he was still hesitating which prince to elect as Crown Prince, he suddenly passed away?

Once the late Emperor passed away, the Empire landed in a predicament where they were a headless state. All the Imperial Princes were having internal strife; all wanting to ascend to the throne even ordering assassinations on one another.

Finally, Ling Xue was infuriated. She originally wanted to support one of them to ascend the throne, but she ultimately ordered for all of them to be imprisoned in their own imperial residences. She took control of all the authority and even concealed the fact to the outside world that the Emperor had died from an illness.

In all the eyes of the imperial officials of the Azure Dragon Empire, Princess Ling Xue’s unwavering determination, bravery, and plans were worthy of being a female hero. Only she knew how tiring, how agonizing, and how lonely she was during these periods of time!

“Go, go, all of you just, go!”

She was standing high up on the platform, allowing the violent winds to mess up her hair and robes. She looked towards the west and let out a poignant smile as she muttered to herself, “Destroy. Just destroy it! The Azure Dragon Empire has been existent for too long, and it is about time for it be to exterminated.”
