Due to the sudden raid of the demon beasts, the King had issued an emergency meeting with the ministers of his Kingdom while also deploying a group of his Royal Guards to aid the civilians.

Such an attack can definitely hit their economy hard. This didn't pose any grave danger towards the Kingdom itself, but for the citizens, it would most likely be life-threatening.

"My King!" At this moment, the ministers and other officials have arrived.

Si Baili nodded his head; "You may all sit now."

"Yes." (Everyone)

Si Baili looks at everyone and spoke: "What can all of you report?"

"My King, the damage that the demon beast raid has already reached a quarter of our Kingdom's residence, more than 200 villages have been razed and 24 cities totally destroyed!" One of the ministers involved in the citizens of the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom spoke.

"Whaa!"

A lot of the people inside couldn't help but exclaim in shock,

"If the damage is already that big, our economy will surely drop, a lot of our production will be stopped in order for the damage to be repaired for a year or two... This will be a huge economic crisis!"

"That's insane!"

"What will we do now."

"We need to take action of course!"

"My King!"

At this moment, everyone looked at Si Baili as they wait for his words. Their eyes glowing with the will to resolve the problem at his call.

"What do you all think should be done?" Si Baili asks as he looks at his ministers.

At his words, all of the ministers suddenly had their spirit drained like flames drowned with water.

"That..."

"We should..."

"I..."

Si Baili couldn't help but sigh; [They were all great people before, but after years of peace, their minds had grown dull.]

"How about a.s.sembling a fast unit to save the citizens first, also, since the vanguards had already been sent, why not add another few reinforcements for them if they encounter something unexpected, like... betrayals, or sudden numbers of the enemies increasing, also form another few groups of elites to retrieve the captured inhabitants of your kingdom." At this moment, a lot of words appeared.

Everyone looked at the location of the voice and saw a 17-year-old young man.

"Who are you!? To dare barge in the meeting of the King! Your head needs to be hanged!" One of the ministers spoke.

Another one also added; "Your head shall be the price for your rudeness!"

"Halt!" At this Si Baili exclaims

All of them stopped their bantering, one even has a sword on his hand and prepare to deal with Mo Xie immediately.

The people gathered here are all at the peak of Heaven Encompa.s.sing rank, not any of them could be taken lightly, the King, Si Baili is already at the Immortal Foundation rank, one of the rare few individuals that are holding the supreme power above all others.

"Who are you and how did you get here young la.s.s?" (Si Baili)

"I am Mo Xie of the Mo Family, Huotian invited me here." Mo Xie spoke with a smile.

Hearing Mo Xie's introduction, a lot of the ministers immediately removed their anger and even is starting to think of some plans to have some connections with him.

n.o.body in here heard of the Mo Family, but they never know how many families are hidden, being Huotian's friend, they immediately estimated that Mo Xie came from the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, even a normal family is enough to match their Kingdom, what more can they hope to but to form some ties with any of them.

"Oh, if it isn't Tian'er's friend, what brings you here?" (Si Baili)

"Nothing much, just that I saw a lot of people marching towards this area so I left Uncle s.h.i.+ in the pond pavilion outside the grand hall just a few meters away from here." Mo Xie paused before adding; "Be sure to not let anyone disturb him as Uncle s.h.i.+ is currently cultivating there."

"Hahaha, of course, Little Xie, what you said earlier is a very basic yet splendid idea, my ministers had grown timid due to the peaceful lives they had been receiving." (Si Baili)

"Oh, then, I would like to be part of those that are retrieving the hostages," Mo Xie spoke as he smiled towards the King.

Hearing this, everyone became shocked, especially those that are thinking of making Mo Xie their future son-in-law.

"You can't, as the guest of the Kingdom, we wouldn't want you to be harmed in any way." One of the ministers spoke.

"Yes, yes, as a guest of our Kingdom, we wouldn't want you to be put in any kind of danger." Another one added.

Even those that called him rude earlier are showing faces of kindness.

Mo Xie couldn't help but sigh; "I`m sorry but I want to know the outside world, even if I don't tag along, I can find some other means to go there."

Without anything to worry, Mo Xie spoke, he has a few means to escape himself, but if there are people that he needs to protect, it will be much more troublesome.

All of them felt speechless at how Mo Xie did everything, but just at this moment, someone arrives.

A group of four people with wearing blue and white robes with a hood and also a mask, all of them seemed to be females.

The one in front spoke; "Just because you are a friend of Huotian doesn't necessarily means that you can do whatever you want. Before you do that, be sure to go home first and say to your family that whatever happens to you, our Vermillion Sonata Kingdom has nothing to do about it."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the door and saw them.

"Princess Shenyue!" The ministers bowed as they greeted the ones that arrived.

"Oh, Yue'er, don't be rude to the guest." At this moment, her Mother spoke.

Si Baili only looked at her daughter not minding her words, as, if something was to really happen to Mo Xie, not only is his family going to get involved, Huotian will too.

Mo Xie couldn't help but chuckle, if it was in his previous life, he would've rashly charged and killed everyone without knowing their reason like a mad dog, but after thinking about their side, Mo Xie couldn't help but applaud them.

[If I was to think of their side, they have something to protect too...] (Mo Xie)

"Don't worry about it, there will be no one to blame your kingdom, neither my Family nor Huotian." Mo Xie spoke and smiled.

Hearing this, a lot of people felt their efforts in stopping Mo Xie became useless, but with that, they immediately had another idea.

"Then, I`ll join rescuing mission, with that, we can avoid getting little Xie caught in an unpleasant danger." One of the ministers spoke.

"No, I`m stronger, how about letting me." Another one exclaims.

"If it's about strength, how about me?"

The ministers fought for the right to join Mo Xie to his crusade, but with no proper conclusion, Si Baili spoke.

"Shenyu, how about accompanying little Xie with you since the both of you will be going to the rescue mission." Si Baili's words caused a lot of people to be shocked, yet, they understood it very well.

[Forming ties using your eldest and most beautiful daughter to form ties... is Princess Shenyu, not enough?] A lot of ministers thought in their head but couldn't really speak it out loud.

Shenyue glared at Mo Xie, for her cultivation is the greatest priority she has, forming a family with another one is the least for her to care, she even rejected Si Baili's words before about Huotian and pa.s.sed it on to her younger sister, Si Shenyu.

"Father..." Shenyue was about to speak, but before she could, some people arrived with ragged clothes.

"Father! I`m home!" At this moment, the one that arrives is none other than Shenyu's twin brother, Si Shen.

"Hmmm?" Everyone looked at him in a questioning manner.

Why is the Prince's and his entourages completely beat up?

"What happened to you?" Si Baili asks in concern.

"Father, don't worry about that, look here." As soon as Si Shen spoke, he showed to Si Baili a jade box.

"What is in there?" Si Baili asks.

"Look!" Si Shen exclaims as he opens the jade chest.

"An arrow? What is so special about it?" One of the ministers spoke.

"Well, you see..." Si Shen was about to speak, but before he could, the arrow suddenly vanishes.

"HA?!" Everyone exclaims in shock.

Mo Xie is the only one chuckling as he looked at the empty jade box; [Well, I didn't think that they'll give it to me this way.]
