When Lou Moyu rushed to Xiangyang Palace in a panic, the scene before him left him dumbfounded.

The formerly magnificent hall had collapsed beyond recognition, with broken eaves and tiles scattered everywhere, the ground covered with broken limbs and horrifying bloodstains, and the strong smell of blood was overwhelming, almost suffocating.

Looking at the ruins, Lou Moyu's heart was instantly panicked. Such a tragic scene must have been caused by a cultivator. After all, which mortal could possess such a destructive power?

At this moment, he was thinking about Xu Yuexi with great worry, wondering how she was doing and whether she had encountered any accident.

Lou Moyu suddenly remembered the letter Xu Yuexi had written to him. In the letter, she said that she was no longer the only immortal cultivator in the world, and Ouyang Xingchen's parents were both of the same kind.

Thinking of this, Lou Moyu couldn't help but frown. Could this matter be related to Ouyang Xingchen's family? If his parents joined forces to deal with Yue'er, could Yue'er resist with her current cultivation level?

But why would they do this? Could it be other immortal cultivators? If it was someone else, where did they come from? Countless questions came to his mind, making Lou Moyu more and more anxious.

"Yuer? Yuer? Where are you?"

Lou Moyu shouted anxiously. He rushed into the devastated ruins regardless of everything, searching everywhere with his hands.

&34;Qianmo, I'm here!&34;

At this moment, a familiar and clear voice suddenly rang out.

Lou Moyu suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Not far away, Xu Yuexi was standing there intact, with Lin Zining and some ministers beside her. They slowly walked out from behind a broken wall, and each of the ministers had a look of relief and fatigue on their faces after surviving the disaster.

"Yuer!" Lou Moyu rushed over and hugged her.

Feeling the warmth from Xu Yuexi's body, Lou Moyu's panicked heart calmed down.

Seeing that Lou Moyu was safe and sound, the ministers were overjoyed and knelt down to pay their respects to him.

Xu Yuexi leaned against Lou Moyu's chest, put her arms around his waist and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, I'm fine."

Lou Moyu held her for a while before letting go and looking at Xu Yuexi carefully.

"What happened?"

"It's a long story..."

Xu Yuexi briefly recounted the whole incident from beginning to end.

"Do you think I'm cruel for not saving them?" Xu Yuexi looked up at Lou Moyu and asked.

"Don't say that, Yue'er, to be honest, I think you did a great job.

This group of old scoundrels are cunning and treacherous. They usually pretend to obey me but actually disobey me. They take the salary I give them but do nothing practical. They also hinder the policies I propose to implement. I have long wanted to get rid of them but have been unable to find a suitable excuse.

As for him, the fact that he has now been torn to pieces is entirely his own fault and he cannot blame anyone else."

At that time, Lou Moyu was concerned about his own reputation. He knew that if he ascended the throne by such cruel and inhumane means as patricide, it would definitely cause an uproar and become a handle for the world to criticize him.

Therefore, even though Lin Aoyuan acted recklessly to the point of being outrageous, he still did not kill him. Although he sent people to torture him to vent his anger, he could not appear too heartless and cold in public.

After all, as an emperor, he must maintain his proper demeanor and bearing. Moreover, as the ruler of a country, there are many things that need to be considered and scrupled. He cannot act arbitrarily and follow in Lin Aoyuan's footsteps.

Lou Moyu had never thought that his concerns would become a weapon that harmed him and almost cost him his life. Now that Lin Aoyuan had died like this, he was really relieved.

To be honest, he was really grateful to Xu Yuexi for protecting him and helping him solve his problems. It was hard for him not to love such a wife.

After hearing what Lou Moyu said, Xu Yuexi smiled slightly. She was glad that he didn't blame her.

At this time, Lin Zining stepped forward and said, "Mother, you are absolutely right to do this, don't feel any psychological burden, how could the emperor blame you?

Father, you don’t know that my grandfather was really too much. Not only did he curse my mother and me, he also wanted to kill them!

And the black-robed man he brought with him was even more hateful. He was ugly himself, but he still wanted me to be his woman, and even wanted my mother to be his plaything. This really made me furious.

I started fighting with him, but unfortunately my cultivation level was not as high as his, and I was no match for him even if I tried my best. Fortunately, I was protected by my mother, so I was safe. "

After hearing what Lin Zining said, Lou Moyu's eyes turned cold, "This is outrageous! He really deserves to die!"

At the same time, he was also glad that he resolutely chose to marry a foreign princess and chose a wife with such powerful strength. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary woman, his wife and children would have died today.

Xu Yuexi gently patted Lou Moyu's hand and consoled him, "Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, don't be angry. You have just recovered, so you should pay more attention to your health. You still need to take care of the rest!"

She still had other things to do, so she dealt with the most troublesome matter, and the aftermath work was of course left to Lou Moyu.

Lou Moyu nodded, "Don't worry, Yue'er, I will handle these matters properly."

Then Lou Moyu began to appease the ministers and clean up the mess.

Now that the greedy parasites in the court are almost extinct, Lou Moyu took this opportunity to promote new people. These new people who were promoted were full of passion and ambition to serve the country.

They are all down-to-earth and diligent, and they are resolute and resolute in doing things. As long as Lou Moyu gives an order, they will do their best to execute it without hesitation.

In addition, the officials who stayed behind after the black-robed man's self-explosion were all people who were truly loyal to Lou Moyu, and a positive, united and cooperative atmosphere gradually formed within the entire court.

This new vitality has enabled various government affairs to be carried out efficiently, and the governance of the country has become increasingly smooth. In addition, this group of hard-working and capable officials have shown their strengths and worked together to make plans and do their best for the prosperity of the country. The Flame Country has finally ushered in an unprecedented prosperity.

Xu Yuexi took Lin Zining back to their residence.

Not long after sitting down, Lin Zining asked curiously:

"Mother, the man in black robe today is from the same place as Grandfather Ouyang, right? But why do I feel that although he is powerful, he also exudes an evil aura?"

"Your feeling is correct. He is most likely an evil cultivator. He probably captured you to make you into a furnace.

Ning'er, you have to remember that there are thousands of immortal cultivators, and not all of them are decent people. In the future, when you meet immortal cultivators, you must be careful and cautious. Before you know the other party's background and strength, you must protect yourself and don't reveal your trump card.

And after this incident, my mother guessed that the peaceful days of this continent might be gone forever. In the future, we must practice more diligently and work hard to improve our strength, and perhaps we can protect the peace that belongs to us."

Xu Yuexi guessed correctly. With the opening of the Penglai Secret Realm, many immortal cultivators indeed left the secret realm and came to the Douqi Continent, and scattered to various corners of this continent.

After she and Leng Molin went to Lengyue Country, some immortal cultivators came to visit them.
