Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.
Chapter 156 Amazing
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Li Xue shouted, seeing that the Emperor seemed to want to continue the argument, but it was obvious that she did not know him.
"Boy, you're asking for death." Bai Xize pushed aside the crowd, drew a long sword, and ran over angrily. When he arrived, he released his fighting spirit.
Xu Ya stepped forward to block Bai Xize. Kashu arrived at some point and also used his fighting spirit, gripping his greatsword tightly. He was sweating and looked exhausted from the battle.
"And who are you?" Ning Lian asked hurriedly when she saw so many people surrounding her. Although there were dozens of people on her side, there were hundreds of people on the other side, and judging from their attire, they were clearly the palace guards.
"I'm sorry, my friend may have mistaken me for someone else. He was a bit rude just now, and I apologize on his behalf."
After Lixue finished speaking, she only tilted her body slightly.
Xu Ya walked up to Wang Mu and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Wang Mu snapped out of his daze and, seeing the princess apologizing to the other party, realized he had been too agitated and rude. He walked up to Ning Lian and asked, "Are you Zhong Wanling?"
Ning Lian finally understood what those strange words meant; they were actually a name.
She was naturally unhappy that her fiancé had been injured, and said with a stern face, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not the person you're looking for."
"Can't you remember anything from before? And when did you arrive here?"
Wang Mu was not giving up, but he was cautious and did not reveal the secret from the other continent.
At this moment, Bai Xize was quite clever. He noticed that the two girls in front of him, whether in terms of their temperament or their attire, and especially the hundreds of guards, were clearly not ordinary people.
He peeked around and finally saw the markings on the carriage, recognizing it as belonging to the royal family of the Holy Empire. Looking at the hundreds of guards, all of whom were young girls, he guessed that one of the two girls must be a princess of the empire, and moreover, the emperor's most beloved seventh princess, Lixue.
Although he didn't say it outright, he was very angry with Wang Mu. However, for the sake of the princess, he suppressed his temper and said, "Boy, her name is Ning Lian. She has grown up with me since she was a child. Don't make up names for her."
“I grew up in the mountains and this is my first time out here. I don’t know you, and I don’t want to know you. Please go away, okay?” Ning Lian said.
Seeing that Wang Mu still didn't seem to believe her, Xu Ya stepped forward and persuaded him, "Your Majesty, they are not the people you are looking for, I guarantee it."
Wang Mu's dream, which had fallen from the sky, shattered instantly upon hearing the Phoenix Princess's affirmation, leaving his face filled with loneliness and desolation.
He forced a smile. "I'm sorry, Miss Ning Lian, I mistook you for someone else."
After saying that, he seemed completely lost, and without looking at the people around him, he turned and left alone.
Everyone was a little confused, but seeing the boy's expression, they all remained silent.
Watching the departing figure, Li Xue felt a sharp pain in her heart. At this moment, she really wanted to replace that woman named Zhong Wanling. It was clear that Zhong Wanling was very important to the emperor.
"Your Majesty." After a few seconds, she realized what was happening and hurried after him.
Xu Ya glanced at Bai Xize and Ning Lian, then left.
Seeing hundreds of red-clad maids follow the girl who had left earlier, it was clear that the girl was Princess Lixue. However, the girl in front of him had a holy aura in her eyes that made people want to bow down in worship. Bai Xize was shocked. The girl who left later was no less important than Princess Lixue.
"Ning Lian, let's go." He realized what he was doing, and after saying that, he gave the others a meaningful look, signaling them to hurry up and leave this place.
Wang Mu ignored the princess and boarded the carriage alone. Li Xue, worried about his absent-mindedness, disregarded her own status and followed him.
In fact, Xu Ya recognized these travelers and, wanting to ease the Emperor's distress, thought she should get into the carriage and explain to him. Without hesitation, she also got into the carriage.
As Bai Xize and his group walked, they kept looking back and were astonished to see Princess Lixue and the girl with an even more impressive background getting into the carriage with the boy.
Fortunately, Kashu and Lina reacted quickly, having several hundred members of the Divine Phoenix Camp surround the area to prevent passersby from recognizing the princess and the Phoenix Clan princess.
The incident just now attracted many bold pedestrians, who gathered at a distance to watch, discussing and speculating about who the two parties were.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" The princess looked at Wang Mu and felt a pang of sorrow upon seeing his listless appearance. She sat down beside him, no longer caring about maintaining her composure.
Not long after, Xuya also came up. She knew that the princess liked the emperor, so it was not surprising that she saw him now. However, she no longer had that noble and holy air about her, nor did she have that sly and teasing smile she had shown towards Wang Mu earlier. Instead, her eyes were filled with incomprehension, sympathy, and affection.
Wang Mu shook his head helplessly, his heart sinking into a deep, cold abyss.
He had been in this world for several years. He had previously possessed fragments of the Emperor's soul. Even after encountering the White Tiger and transforming into human form, he could not fill the void of loneliness he felt in this world.
Now Wang Mu realized that he had been hiding himself all along, trying to portray himself as the emperor in order to conceal his identity. Of course, he was indeed the emperor, but at this moment he was Wang Mu.
Lixue glanced at her cousin, and Xuya nodded in understanding, sitting on the other side. "Your Majesty, she really isn't the Zhong Wanling you're talking about. She comes from the Hidden Clan."
At this moment, Xu Ya continued, "The origin of the Hidden Clan dates back to the last war between the alien races."
Before the war broke out, there were some powerful figures on the continent who did not belong to any country or power; they roamed the continent independently.
"Moreover, many of them have bad reputations, and what they do is unacceptable to the mainland. Some of them have even committed serious crimes. They have no choice but to hide everywhere. Occasionally, they will join forces with others to attack kingdoms or even sects, but most of them fail."
She paused for a few seconds and then said, "Later, when the alien races invaded and war raged all over the continent, these people were respected. They put aside their past grievances and hatred and fought alongside everyone to resist the alien races."
"These people usually hide in the mountains and wilderness in some corner of the continent, focusing on cultivating martial arts and spiritual power. Therefore, these people are more powerful than the strong people outside. Although there were casualties in the war against the alien races, many survived."
"After the war between the alien races ended, these people, not wanting to clash with the various forces on the continent again, united to form the Hidden Clan and hid in an unknown place on the continent."
"They usually don't appear in front of the people on the mainland. Even when they do, few people know their identities. There are a few places on the mainland where they can enter and exit their locations."
"I recognized them as descendants of those powerful figures because I saw the insignia of the Hidden Clan among them. They must be out here to purchase necessary supplies. With the war between the alien races approaching again, I think the Hidden Clan members are making preparations."
