The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

The commander of the imperial city was so angry that his face turned pale and then red. He held his breath and gritted his teeth as he gave the order: "Since you insist on interfering, we are just following orders and have no choice but to offend you."

He took a step back: "Get them!"

Seeing that he actually dared to make a move, Song Ke clenched her fist and subconsciously took a step back.

The commander of the imperial city was also very perceptive. He immediately saw that Song Ke was putting on an act, and without further hesitation, added, "Capture her alive."

Song Ke glanced back, thinking they should have already left, and immediately feinted to dodge the two guards rushing towards him.

They immediately changed direction and made a hasty escape.

This reversal stunned the imperial commander. By the time he realized what was happening, Song Ke had already jumped over the wall and was running out of the mansion.

"What are you all standing there for? Chase after them! How dare they fool me! Today I will make sure they are found dead or alive!"

Upon hearing the angry tone, everyone immediately rushed out without delay.

Song Ke was lucky. Feng Xun was on his way, and when he heard the commotion, he sped up. Just as Song Ke jumped off the wall, he teleported over and caught her.

Song Ke looked at Feng Xun and her face lit up with joy: "You finally made it here."

As he spoke, he quickly got down and stood still. Just then, there was a commotion at the door. Perhaps to avoid trouble, Feng Xun cast an invisibility spell on the two of them. The moment the door opened, the pursuing guards saw several empty roads and chased after them.

Song Ke pulled Feng Xun aside before whispering, "How is it?"

Feng Xun frowned as he looked at her, and unusually didn't answer her. Instead, he asked in an icy tone, "What did you just do?"

Song Ke paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "You don't know, something happened to the Wei family."

Song Ke recounted what had just happened and was about to ask Feng Xun if he could save the person when Feng Xun said, "So, you think that with your cultivation level, you can save the person from them?"

Song Ke said with a self-righteous expression: "I know I can't beat him, but I can stall for time. Besides, that leader is too arrogant. Rong Ling is a prince, after all. How dare he make a move?"

"Don't even think about it. I reckon something's happened at the palace too."

"What could possibly happen to the palace?" she asked, then, recalling what she had seen on the street earlier, "Could the palace have fallen so quickly?"

"That's really scary."

"By the way, how did your visit to the Wei family's private prison go?"

Feng Xun said, "Everyone in the prison is dead."

-

The two returned to the dilapidated courtyard as usual that night. Feng Xun brought in some dry firewood, and Song Ke asked, "What are you doing gathering this?"

Feng Xun didn't speak, but instead looked at her.

Song Ke instantly understood the meaning in his gaze and said somewhat shyly, "I'm not afraid of the cold either."

Feng Xun listened without saying much, only saying, "It should rain tonight."

Song Ke watched as Feng Xun made a hand gesture to create a bright fire, instantly lighting it and placing it near where she was lying.

Song Ke couldn't help but worry: "Feng Xun."

"Hmm?" Feng Xun looked up at her, his eyes filled with questions.

"Tell me, how are things between Rong Ling and the Wei family now?"

"Will they be alright?"

Feng Xun's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and he said calmly, "It seems that everything should be fine for now."

After saying that, he suddenly asked, "Do you know why the Kingdom of Xiqiong was destroyed?"

Song Ke was taken aback. If all her memories had returned, she should know the answer. But right now, she had only heard bits and pieces of information before, and she had no idea why.

Feng Xun didn't care why she didn't know, and directly said, "Because Qi Feng's mother is buried here."

"Are you wondering again, since his mother is buried here, why could he be so disrespectful, leaving this place filled with blood and littered with corpses?"

Song Ke nodded in confusion: "Why?"

Feng Xun: "The Luo You Alliance has a kind of inherited technique. The Bi Luo King was able to become king in the Netherworld because of this technique. However, to awaken and inherit this technique, countless resentful energies are needed. Therefore, Qi Feng sent out the demons of his Luo You Alliance to slaughter the entire Xi Qiong Kingdom."

Song Ke was both surprised and furious: "This is utterly depraved."

Feng Xun remained calm, as if he had already seen through these life-and-death massacres: "The Luoyou Alliance was originally a hidden danger left over from the early conflict between gods and demons. They only care about improving their own cultivation techniques, how could they care about the lives of living beings?"

Song Ke looked at Feng Xun and asked, "Then is there no one who can deal with them?"

Only after speaking did he realize that Feng Xun was the leader of the Cultivation Alliance, but he had fallen into Qi Feng's trap in the last great battle and was seriously injured. Even if he wanted to, he was powerless to do so now.

Song Ke sighed inwardly. It seemed that the only way was to quickly win back Feng Xun's affections and awaken his compassion. Perhaps then he wouldn't stand idly by, but would take the opportunity to deal with those mischievous demons.

But is there really no way to change history? In the end, will Rong Xiu and Rong Ling be the only ones left to be slaughtered in Xiqiong Kingdom?

And that goddess, if she were still alive, why did the Western Qiong Kingdom still perish?

Feng Xun said that the goddess was an old friend of his, but Song Ke searched through her memories and had no recollection of this goddess at all. Even in the cultivation world outside, it seemed that there was no such person.

A goddess should be revered by the world.

Song Ke thought of the goddess statue he had seen, which had been usurped by a fox, and the altar at the foot of Dagu Mountain, where the goddess's blood was also being used.

What kind of woman is the goddess?

Holding a wood-chopping knife, her gaze was resolute and clear. If she were a living person, Song Ke could probably imagine that she was called a goddess, but in reality, she was just a passionate young woman with her own beliefs.

She may have known Feng Xun even longer. Even her own parents might not know Feng Xun's real age. It seems that the Suspended Palace has stood here since the beginning of cultivation.

The next day, Song Ke looked at the wetness outside the door and, just as Feng Xun had said, it had rained in the middle of the night.

She looked up to see the sky, but froze the moment she looked up. The southeastern sky was filled with a blood-red mist, and even when the breeze blew by, she could smell a faint stench of blood.

Song Ke's face immediately turned pale, and then she cried out to Feng Xun in a panic, "Feng Xun, something bad has happened."

Feng Xun remained calm and composed, showing no alarm. Instead, he closed his eyes to examine the situation for a while before slowly opening them and saying, "It's not good."

After saying that, he grabbed Song Ke's arm and said without hesitation, "Let's go, let's get out of the city."

Although Feng Xun's expression remained calm, his slightly faster speech revealed his nervousness.

Song Ke became even more anxious: "What happened?"

"Can we leave the city?"

As Feng Xun pulled the man out, he said, "If we can't leave the city, we can only wait to die."
