Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 140 Reencounter with the Fire Phoenix

Along the way, what Lan Tian saw and heard in the Shura Empire completely exhausted him, both physically and mentally. The war had caused too much harm to the people, and what they asked for was such a luxury—just a peaceful, stable, and tranquil homeland.

Along this journey, Lan Tian experienced a brief period of awkwardness. The ideal he had always pursued seemed promising, but what would the outcome be? Was it to be achieved through the suffering, displacement, death, and war of the common people? Such an outcome was too bloody, too painful, causing a slight tremor in Lan Tian's heart. However, reality was too real; it was beyond his control, something he could not change, avoid, or remain uninvolved in. He could not help but participate in it.

The current state of the blue sky is indeed too insignificant; it has not developed to a point of great importance and is not yet capable of relieving human suffering or upholding people's basic rights and obligations.

At that moment, Lan Tian suddenly felt that he had the motivation to advance in the future, he had something to strive for, and he had a goal in his heart.

The Shura Empire is currently divided between two major forces, and there are many internal conflicts within the royal family. No matter who wins in the future, ruling this empire will be meaningless to Lan Tian. He will not get involved in the internal conflicts of the royal family. He just wants to find Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing and let them return to normal and not get involved. As for what will happen in the future, he can't care about that.

Lan Tian followed the refugees on their escape, entering the territory controlled by the royal siblings. The people here were less complex than in the Crown Prince's previous jurisdiction; everyone was busy, with work to do, and no worries about food, clothing, or shelter. It seemed the administration here was quite humane. The refugees flocked here, contributing to the region's prosperity, and the people here appeared to be very popular, a promising force.

This is the front line where two forces clash. Troops appear frequently, and the sounds of battle between the two armies can be heard. Therefore, life here is not very stable, as the area is mostly occupied by the military.

This is a small town, Phoenix City. Although it's called a city, it's really just a small town! Many phoenixes used to breed here, and you could often see phoenixes of various sizes and species soaring through the skies. This place used to be famous for producing flying phoenixes for the army, a very well-known source of flying mounts.

Lan Tian arrived here and sensed something within his consciousness! How could this be? How could it be here? This is someone he hasn't seen in a long time; indeed, it's been quite a while since he's heard from it. He wonders how it's recovering! Has it returned to normal now?
In a mountain cave outside Phoenix City, a creature sensed the connection—its master's call! Without hesitation, it took to the air and flew swiftly towards the location. It had been there for half a year! Since recovering, it had been searching for its master. Hearing that its master had arrived on the Blue Card Continent, it had searched everywhere without success. Therefore, it had returned to its birthplace, Phoenix City, to recuperate and improve itself, hoping to find its master again in the future.

Now, the long-awaited call has appeared here, and it is extremely excited. It is its master! The master it has been searching for all along.

"Awooo, awooo awooo."

A deafening roar reached Lantian's ears, filling him with immense excitement. It was it! He could finally see it again, just as he had hoped!
As they were talking, a huge fire phoenix flew down in front of Lan Tian. It was strong and its feathers were colorful. The familiar figure and friendly expression made Lan Tian very excited. The fire phoenix of the past had returned!
"Master, we've finally found you!"

"Hmm, how are you now? Are you all back to normal? What are you doing here!"

"I've returned to normal. I knew my master had come to the Blue Card Continent, so I came looking for him myself!..."

"Alright, you'll stay with me from now on!" "Yes, Master. This is my birthplace. Master, let me show you around."

"it is good"

Lan Tian leaped up and jumped onto the phoenix's back, sitting on its broad back, letting it carry him soaring through the sky and roaming among the mountains and rivers.

Overlooking the entire city and the entire primeval mountain range from here, this is indeed the best place for phoenixes to soar, roost, and breed. The lush mountains and clear waters, along with the vast primeval forests, provide them with ample space to live and reproduce; it is their paradise.

Finally, Lantian arrived at the place where the Fire Phoenix cultivated and rested. It was a cave, not very big, but enough for it to rest and cultivate.

After resting briefly, we learned from Fire Phoenix that the demons of the Endless Sea have returned, bringing even stronger warriors. A bloody massacre is currently raging across the Endless Sea. The demons are the devils of the Endless Sea, and it's uncertain whether the various races can once again withstand their onslaught and protect the people. Fire Phoenix returned to find Blue Sky on the behalf of the various races, hoping that Blue Sky could return to fight the demon invasion together, maintain the stability and peace of the Endless Sea, and become the banner of united resistance, leading everyone to once again defeat the demons' attack.

Lan Tian felt conflicted upon hearing the news. Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing had not yet been found, and the situation in the Endless Sea was also extremely urgent. He had to find Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing as soon as possible and return to the Endless Sea to resolve the crisis of the demon race.

Blue Sky and Fire Phoenix worked tirelessly through night to find Hai Liang and the others. This was the territory ruled by the royal brothers and sisters. They finally learned about Hai Liang and the others from their subordinates. They were currently following the Fifth Prince Luo Cheng and the Crown Prince's troops at the Muye Battle Platform. They wondered how they were doing!

Muye is not far from Phoenix City; it can be reached within a day by high-speed flight. Without hesitation, Lantian and Fire Phoenix immediately flew off in that direction.

The speed of the Fire Phoenix far exceeded Blue Sky's expectations, and they arrived at the Muye battlefield in just half a day.

Looking into the distance, the two armies were gathering here, and it seemed that they were about to fight. The drums were deafening and the earth was shaking. The troops were lined up in pairs on the battlefield, a vast and mighty force that stretched as far as the eye could see. What a sight it was to see a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people. It was not something that a few people could control.

As Lan Tian observed from afar, the great battle had already begun. The sounds of horns and drums of attack were deafening. Airships, tanks, and mounted troops charged towards the enemy. Long-range ammunition rained down on the charging enemy forces, creating massive explosions. The surrounding troops were reduced to ashes by the explosions, their flesh and blood flying everywhere. The bloody and violent scene was too gruesome to bear. This is war, this is the mission of soldiers. War has no conditions; strength is everything and can determine the outcome of the battlefield.
