He calmly gave a subtle look to a trusted guard in the distance, and the guard immediately understood and hurriedly wrote a secret letter, handed it to a carrier pigeon, and ordered it to fly into the city to deliver the urgent message.
He calmly gave the person in the distance a look, and then the guard immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the city by a carrier pigeon.
"They." Chen Long turned and glanced coldly at Li Xiu and others, with a bit of scrutiny in his voice, "Who are they again?"
"This is the distinguished guest of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and you cannot neglect it, Chen Long! Why don't you open the city gate immediately and welcome the princess back to the palace?" The commander of the guards emphasized again, revealing a firmness that could not be refused in his tone.
In this tense atmosphere, the guard hurried back, holding the letter that had just been sent back from the city in his hand.
He quietly walked to Chen Long's side and whispered: "The second prince has ordered to let them into the city first."
Chen Long heard this and nodded gently, "Come in."
With his order, the heavy city gate slowly lowered, making a low and long creaking sound.
After returning to the capital, Illya arranged for Li Xiu and the others to stay in her palace, and she went to the palace.
[Hidden Mission 1 Completed]
Rewards: Experience +500,000, S-level Special Weapon +1
Special rewards and news about the Dragon King's blood will be obtained as the next plot develops.
————
500,000 experience directly allowed Li Xiu to level up 1 and reach level 29 of the first transformation.
Li Xiu decided to wait for Illya to return in the room.
Whoosh——
Just then, a black shadow suddenly flashed outside the courtyard.
"Who!" Li Xiu's eyes flashed.
The other party was very fast, just released his spiritual sense to explore the house, and left agilely in an instant.
Whoosh——
Without hesitation, Li Xiu immediately broke through the door.
He flew on his sword and caught up with the black shadow in the distance in the blink of an eye.
"So fast?"
The masked black shadow's face suddenly changed.
Obviously, he didn't expect that Li Xiu's speed was so exaggerated. He caught up in just a moment.
"Huh——"
Faced with Li Xiu's pursuit, the black shadow took out a bag of black powder from his sleeve and waved it vigorously. Suddenly, thick black smoke spread like a tide, covering everything around.
"Use this trick on me?"
Li Xiu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he instantly penetrated the heavy black fog and locked the breath of the masked man.
Just as he was about to chase, a clear voice suddenly came, "You are the warrior who escorted my sister back?"
As the words fell, the black fog gradually dissipated, and a majestic figure wearing a blood-colored python robe and a dazzling golden crown walked slowly.
He exudes an aura of dignity that cannot be ignored, which makes people feel awe involuntarily.
"I forgot to introduce myself. I am the second prince of the Yanlong Empire." The second prince said lightly.
"2nd turn!" Li Xiu's eyes flashed, and he judged the second prince's level in an instant.
[Second Prince]
Level: 2nd turn 100 level
Attributes: Strength 2 million, physique 1 million, agility 500,000
Skills: Holy Grip (SSS level), Holy Cross Slash (SSS level)
At this moment, Li Xiu ignored the words of the second prince. He moved slightly, intending to pass the other party and continue to chase the masked black shadow.
However, the second prince narrowed his eyes and quickly took action, blocking Li Xiu's way with an unquestionable attitude.
"Wait." The two words were low and powerful, as if carrying irresistible majesty.
"Is this how you treat guests in the Yanlong Empire?"
Faced with Li Xiu's questioning, the second prince remained calm and composed, "As a distinguished guest of my Yanlong Empire, I will be responsible for your safety to the end. I will send people to investigate this matter in depth. But..."
At this point, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"My father has been seriously ill recently. I suspect that some outsiders want to harm your majesty, so I hope you can cooperate with the investigation."
Li Xiu heard this, his eyes were stern, and he knew the other party's intention in his heart.
Imprisoning himself for this reason?
He laughed in his heart, without any nonsense, Li Xiu drew his sword directly.
"Boom--"
The sword light was like a dragon, carrying an amazing sword energy, instantly cutting through the sky and approaching the second prince.
"What a fast sword!"
The second prince admired and retreated violently, showing amazing speed and reaction ability, trying to avoid this fatal blow.
However, the must-hit clause was triggered at this moment, and no matter how fast he was, he seemed to be pulled by invisible chains and could not escape.
"Holy Grip!"
Facing this sword energy that was almost impossible to dodge, the second prince's eyes narrowed, he put his hands together, and the air flow surged, instantly condensing into a dazzling golden giant hand, and fiercely grabbed the sword energy.
"Boom——"
The two forces collided violently in the air, triggeringDeafening explosion.
The sword energy condensed by Li Xiu's sword-drawing technique was crushed alive by the golden giant hand, turning into fragments of light all over the sky, and finally dissipated into the invisible.
At this time, Bai Mengyao also arrived quickly and stood side by side with Li Xiu.
Just as Li Xiu was about to use his special martial arts skills, Illya rushed over and said, "Stop!"
Thinking that Illya was the key person in the mission, Li Xiu temporarily put away his sword.
The mission was not completed, so Li Xiu decided to wait and see for the time being to avoid complications.
"Brother, please don't be rude to my benefactor." Illya's voice was cold and firm, and she stood in front of Li Xiu in a protective manner.
Facing Illya's defense, the second prince sneered, "Let him speak for himself. I didn't attack him first. Instead, your brother was caught off guard and was almost killed by him."
"What a bad guy who complains first!" Li Xiu's eyes flashed coldly.
However, the man in black had already escaped, and he had no direct evidence to prove whether the other party was related to the second prince.
On the contrary, he was lured into action just now, which made him a target of criticism.
"Ninth sister, I am also worried about you. You are deceived by people with ulterior motives. After all, human hearts are unpredictable. Now my father is seriously ill. You know... Now it's not just the Holy Spirit Church that is eyeing the Flame Dragon Empire." The second prince said sinisterly.
"Hmph! There is no need for you to sow discord here! Let me ask, where is my teacher?" Illya asked with a cold face.
After returning to the palace, she learned that her most respected teacher was abducted by the imperial guards for no reason while she was away, and she was furious.
This matter must be related to the second prince.
"Hehe, Veronica has correspondence with the Aurora Empire. I suspect that he is a spy from the enemy country. It is reasonable to detain her."
However, at this time, the second prince changed his tone and suddenly proposed a deal, "But if you want to save her, it is not impossible. Just give me the Dragon Spirit Pearl given by your master in exchange, and I will let her go, how about it?"
After speaking, the second prince leaned close to Illya's ear and whispered, like a devil's low moan: "You don't want to see her suffer because of you, right?"
"You... shameless!" Illya gritted her teeth, anger and grief intertwined in her eyes.
