This time Prince Lian was not in the secret room, but stood on the roof of the palace, silently looking at the northern night sky.
The cold wind howled, blowing his long hair and black robe with gold threads, and kept swaying.
Two attendants dressed in black stood quietly behind him.
Although, the overwhelming shock wave of divine power has dissipated for a long time.
But even the prince stood motionless on the roof, still staring at the northern night sky without saying a word.
The royal city was bustling with excitement, lights were brightly lit everywhere, people were looking forward to it, and there were constant discussions.
Prince Lian was not affected at all and murmured to himself: "Lian Er, Liang Jianqing, and the more than 13,000 people have completed their mission.
The war is over, and I... lost after all."
Prince Lian's tone was low, cold, and solemn, with a hint of exhaustion and self-deprecation.
But he was surprisingly calm and did not get angry or curse.
Perhaps, he had already anticipated the outcome of tonight's decisive battle.
Or maybe, he has been losing continuously since his fight with Ji Tianxing, and he has long been numb to defeat.
The two attendants behind him quickly spoke to comfort Prince Lian.
"Don't worry, my lord, the shock wave that destroyed the world just now must have been caused by the self-destruction of many gods.
Although, the second brother, Sect Leader Liang and others all died.
But their sacrifice was worth it, that damn beast Tianxing must have been killed by the explosion!"
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have just sent spies to Tianlong Mountain to investigate the situation.
Please wait a moment and there will be results and news soon."
The identity and status of these two attendants are lower than Lien Er.
But they were also Prince Lien's confidants and personal guards, and were given the names Lien San and Lien Si respectively.
Prince Lian shook his head and said calmly: "No need to wait, I have already guessed the result.
If Lian Er, Liang Jianqing and the others could really kill Tian Xing, why would they blow themselves up?
Moreover, I know very well how powerful and evil Tianxing is.
Even if he withstands the shock wave of self-destruction, he will only be slightly injured at most, but he will never die."
Lian San and Lian Si looked at each other, both showing worry and anxiety.
But when the two of them saw Prince Lian being so pessimistic and depressed, they didn't know how to persuade him.
At this time, Prince Lian looked up at the night sky again and said to himself sadly: "The nine major sects are gone, and all the elite members of the Hetian Sect's branch are also dead.
Even the Imperial Guards under Chang Yi suffered heavy casualties and their strength was greatly reduced.
It took me twenty years to manage such a situation and secretly control this Kingdom of God... but now I have nothing!
Tian Xing...he is really my old enemy!"
Prince Lian closed his eyes, looked up to the sky and sighed, his tone full of hatred and unwillingness.
Both Lian San and Lian Si could see that Prince Lian was extremely sad and angry, but he had to suppress his emotions and try his best to stay calm.
If you keep it in your heart like this and don't get an outlet, it's easy to cause problems.
So, the two people quickly advised: "Your Majesty, the night wind here is cold and cold, you should go back to the palace to wait and rest."
"Your Majesty, we only suffered a temporary defeat. When you regain your strength, that kid will definitely be killed!"
As they spoke, the two of them helped Prince Lian, one on the left and the other on the right, before returning to the main hall to rest.
Prince Lian shook them off and sneered angrily: "I have recovered more than half of my injuries, but I still need you to support me? Is this king that weak?"
The two of them quickly bowed and apologized.
Prince Lian stopped pursuing it and said expressionlessly: "No need to rest, go pack your bags and gather all the attendants. It's time for us to leave."
"Now? Leave this palace?" Lian Si was startled for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face.
Lian San thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and said: "The defensive strength of this palace is no longer what it used to be, and has weakened several times.
Now, all the forces under the prince's command have been destroyed, and we have no one to use.
Only if there are still a large number of strong people protecting the palace, the prince will be safe if he returns to the palace."
Lian Si suddenly realized it and quickly agreed: "That's right, then I will go and gather the attendants."
Seeing that they were mistaken, Prince Lian frowned fiercely and said in a deep voice: "You two idiots! When did I tell you to go to the palace?"
With just the few manpower under Chang Yi, Tian Xing is really going to attack the royal city. Can he stop it?
The king wants you to gather your attendants, pack your bags, and let’s leave the royal city!”
When Prince Lian was angry, he spoke more straightforwardly.
What these words mean is to pack up and run away.
Lian San and Lian Si were surprised and confused, muttering in their hearts, it can't be like this, right? Is the matter so serious?
After hesitating for a moment, Lian San asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, we have left the City of Raging Flames, where should we go?
You’re not going back to the Great Yan Emperor’s Capital, are you?”
Prince Lian turned his head and glared at him, scolding: "Why did I return to the imperial capital? Do you want to let those bastards see the joke?
Return to Tianzong, my king’s injury has not healed, and I need to retreat to recuperate!”
The Hetian Sect he mentioned refers to the headquarters of the Great Yan Empire.
As for 'the injury is not yet healed and he needs to recuperate', that's an excuse. His injury is obviously 80% recovered.
Lian San and Lian Si thoroughly understood what Prince Lian meant, so they said nothing more and hurriedly carried out the order.
Prince Lian was still standing on the roof, looking at the northern night sky with cold eyes. He stood there for a long time before turning around and leaving.
…
The former Tianlong Mountain no longer exists.
The area covering hundreds of thousands of miles has long been turned into pits and ruins.
After the shock wave of the self-destruction ended, Ji Tianxing was unscathed.
Lian Er's self-destruction was suppressed, and his divine body and divine personality were sealed, unable to move like a stone sculpture.
Ji Tianxing held him in his hands and patrolled the battlefield, collecting a small amount of loot.
Most of the loot was destroyed by the self-destruction shock wave.
In the end, the remaining divine objects were only more than thirty space rings, a dozen pieces of high-grade monarch-level equipment, and dozens of fragments of the godhead.
Because these things were scattered near the space cracks and were not affected.
"It's a pity that the space rings and equipment of more than 13,000 people must add up to a staggering harvest worth hundreds of millions."
Ji Tianxing frowned and secretly said it was a pity.
Fortunately, the more than thirty space rings, artifacts, equipment, and fragments of godhead he obtained all belonged to those high-ranking gods.
Although the quantity is not large, it is still a huge gain.
After putting away the trophies, he carried Lian Er and flew into the night sky, quickly disappearing into the sky.
He did not continue going south, nor would he directly enter the royal city.
Because, he temporarily kept Lian Er's life alive, which would be of great use.
Two hours later.
Ji Tianxing flew two hundred thousand miles away, hid in a remote and uninhabited mountain, and began to interrogate Lian Er.
Lian Er is Prince Lian's absolute confidant and has a lot of information and secrets.
Ji Tianxing wanted to know the details of Prince Lian through this person.
