Chapter 175: Like A Dream
In the battlefield, there is no luck.
When the remnants of the Falling Star Empire believed that they could escape from this battle.
Little did they know, the long-awaited Demonic Cultivator had already set out, their gaze locked onto them.
Followed by a few faint screams, their lives dissipated in this sea of corpses.
This border battlefield returned to complete silence, reverting to the deathly stillness of the past.
...
Time passed, and Chu Qianqiu woke up again, only to find himself back at home.
Everything before him was incredibly familiar.
The sunlight outside the window was bright, willow trees danced in the yard, and several children from the clan played under the trees.
He woke up in front of his own bed, still in a meditative posture. Everything around him was well-organized and orderly.
This surprised him greatly.
In his memory, he was still on the border battlefield, fighting with bloodshed.
How is it that now, when he opened his eyes, he was already back at home?
Could everything that happened before be false?
"Am I dreaming?"
With some doubts, he got up, stretched his muscles, and relieved the soreness throughout his body.
Spiritual energy flowed back and forth within him, washing away the stiffness in his bones, making him feel much better.
"It's been a long time since I last moved."
"And... my strength."
He realized that his strength had already broken through the Nascent Soul realm and reached the even more powerful Soul Formation realm.
Chu Qianqiu suddenly realized that everything before was not a dream but a real event.
"Husband, you're awake?"
Outside the door, a surprised woman's voice came.
Chu Qianqiu followed the sound and found that it was his wife, Gu Qingxue, who was now carrying a basin of hot water.
"Xue'er?"
"Husband?"
She quickly entered the room and placed the basin on the table.
Gu Qingxue hugged him and tears flowed down her face.
"You fool, how could you go to such a dangerous place? If I had known, I would have stopped you!"
"You... already knew?"
"Yes, it's been three months since then."
...
After a simple exchange, Chu Qianqiu finally understood that it had been three months since the previous war between the two countries.
During these three months, he had been focusing on breaking through and was completely unaware of what was happening outside. He didn't even know that he had been sent back home.
In fact, three months ago, after the Thunder Tribulation dissipated completely, Hu Mo used teleportation magic to send Chu Qianqiu and his group back to the territory of the Rising Sun Empire.
After a conversation with Chu Cangxuan, they unanimously decided to bring Chu Qianqiu back home to recuperate and avoid any accidents during his closed-door cultivation.
Afterwards, Chu Cangxuan bid farewell to Hu Mo and Tang Zhao.
At the same time, after bidding farewell to Tang Zhao, Tang Zhao personally went to the battlefield to retrieve the group of imperial soldiers who had hastily fled back, leading them back to the empire and temporarily becoming their commander.
...
After parting ways with Tang Zhao, Chu Cangxuan brought Chu Qianqiu back home and informed his daughter-in-law and others about recent events.
Upon hearing the news, Gu Qingxue and the others were filled with fear. They never expected that the three of them would embark on such a dangerous mission.
But since it had already happened, they couldn't say anything more.
So for these three months, the wives took care of the motionless Chu Qianqiu, hoping for his early recovery.
"So... nothing happened in these three months?"
"According to reason, with such a big commotion caused by me, the entire empire should have been shaken."
"Xue'er, judging from your expression, you seem quite calm."
Asking this question, Chu Qianqiu is now curious about what exactly happened outside.
In these three months, is it possible that everything outside is still normal, peaceful, and the people are living in peace and contentment?
How is that possible?
Let's not even talk about the Falling Star Empire.
After those guys returned, for a whole three months, did they really just swallow their anger?
Even if they swallowed their anger, they wouldn't even investigate?
The Misty Cloud Sect is the same.
Those elders of the sect were killed by Little Hong back then.
If they don't seek revenge, won't the Misty Cloud Sect become a cowardly turtle?
Did they really not make any moves at all?
...
"Husband, from what I know, the outside world is still very turbulent."
"I'm not sure about the Falling Star Empire, but in the Rising Sun Empire where we are, things are not peaceful."
"After you returned, the imperial city of the Rising Sun Empire was covered by a black shield, cutting off all contact with the outside world. We don't know what exactly happened inside."
"The people have been discussing this matter for the past three months and are worried about the situation in the imperial city. After all, this is not a small matter."
"Now, some restless people even have thoughts of rebellion because of this incident."
"They know that the imperial city is shrouded in black, and all the royal nobles are trapped inside with no hope of escape. This is the perfect opportunity for them to rise up in rebellion."
"With no ruler in the Rising Sun Empire, if someone can establish themselves as a new king and establish dominance, perhaps the history of the entire empire will be rewritten from now on."
"In our Moon Phoenix City, because of your presence, the other people dare not cause trouble and are living peacefully."
"But as for other cities, I'm not sure."
"Perhaps the major families in other cities are already planning rebellion."
"I haven't left home in these three months, so I can only guess."
...
Xue'er said so, with a hint of worry in her expression.
Chu Qianqiu is also the same.
From her words, he can sense the general situation of the current situation, and he becomes nervous in an instant.
"The imperial city is covered by a black shield?"
"Damn it... does that mean!!"
Thinking back to when Qiao Xiaoxiao said she wanted to go to the imperial palace to play, Chu Qianqiu regrets it.
Oh no, this guy hasn't come out yet.
If the imperial city cannot be entered, is this little guy alive or dead inside?
And who created this black shield?
...
"What about my father?"
Suddenly bringing up this question.
Chu Qianqiu is not only concerned about Qiao Xiaoxiao's safety, but also about his father's whereabouts.
"He went with your dragon pet to search for Qiao Xiaoxiao."
"After they sent you back, they set off without staying at home for long."
"At that time, I asked them where Qiao Xiaoxiao went, but they didn't tell me. They just told me not to worry and instructed me not to wander around, but to take care of you at home."
"Now, they have been gone for a long time, and I don't know what exactly happened..."
"Husband, judging from your expression... did my father go to the imperial city?"
"Weren't the four of you supposed to go together? How come only three of you came back, and Qiao Xiaoxiao was left there?"
