The Secret of the Goddess

Chapter 188 After the Holy War

War?

It seems that the fifth generation of human emperors was not joking, and the holy war has really begun!

"Tell me more about it." Xue Yi said.

"Okay!"

The waiter began to talk in detail about the barbarian war he knew.

The one who went to war with the barbarians was naturally the Taigu Divine Dynasty.

The ore merchants who brought the news came to purchase precious metal ores for the barbarian leaders to prepare for smelting divine weapons.

They just came a while ago, so the news was actually a little delayed.

The holy war began on the third day after Xue Yi and Xiao Qingruo left the Divine Dynasty. The fifth generation of human emperors sent them to the Yuchan Holy Land. After returning to the Divine Capital, they should have immediately passed on the instructions to the current human emperor.

Then the emperor's order was issued, and they went straight to the border. The border soldiers were ready to clean up, and the strong men of the Divine Capital also rushed to the East Wilderness.

According to the waiter, those who fought at the beginning were not ordinary soldiers, but peerless strong men.

The Divine Dynasty dispatched at least five saints to fight fiercely with the Great Witch Priest, Great Witch Priest, Old Barbarian King, General Zhenhai, and the four saints of the Barbarians. The battle was so fierce that the sky collapsed, the mountains collapsed, and the river changed its course.

The ore merchant saw with his own eyes that the Great Witch Priest was blown away by a man in black and vomited blood, and he also saw that the old Barbarian King used forbidden magic to fight three of the three saints of the Divine Dynasty alone and injured them.

No one witnessed the result of the holy war, because the range of their movement was too wide. They could move dozens of miles in a flash, and a temporary escape could retreat thousands of miles. Ordinary people were not qualified to follow and watch the battle.

The barbarians only knew that on the second day of the holy war, a round of "grand sacrifice" was immediately launched in the tribe.

The grand sacrifice required sacrificing rare treasures and the lives of the strong to the Barbarian God, so as to invite the Barbarian God to come and attach himself to the Barbarian King.

This kind of thing has not happened for thousands of years. It was launched immediately after the holy war ended. Obviously, it was because the holy war was defeated and the barbarians were unwilling to give up and wanted to turn the tables.

The life of the seriously injured Great Witch was sacrificed in the great sacrifice. The old barbarian king obtained the power of the barbarian god and fought alone into the Divine Dynasty.

Although no one witnessed it with their own eyes, according to the ore merchants, the old barbarian king swept all the way, broke through 120 states, killed the eight saints of the Divine Dynasty, and finally returned victorious.

However, this statement... in the eyes of Xue Yi and Xiao Qingruo, is too much bragging.

There are only 120 states in the Taigu Divine Dynasty. How could they be slaughtered by an old barbarian king who obtained temporary power through sacrifice?

Killing eight saints in a row is even more exaggerated. Even a great saint can't do it. The saints are not wooden stakes. They won't be killed stupidly. They ran away when they found that the situation was wrong.

So the latter should be the result of the barbarian people's own fantasy imagination. Otherwise, what ore would they buy and fight? They would have won directly!

Of course, after removing the bragging, the old barbarian king's counterattack should still be very scary.

After all, it was the power exchanged for a holy life. Maybe it was really possible to slaughter several states and kill one or two saints.

And the eastern city closest to the barbarians... is Lingzhou where Shengwei Mansion is located!

The waiter did not say what happened to Lingzhou, because he did not know.

He only told the two that the old barbarian king returned to the palace with a smile on his face.

Not long after, he announced that he had completely turned against the Taikoo Divine Dynasty, and was preparing for a protracted war.

The news came here two months ago, when the army had arrived at the border of the two countries and began to attack each other.

Considering the lag of the news, the battle at the Donghuang Fortress should have started for three months.

As long as the strength of the two sides is not completely equal, the battlefield will definitely shift, either the people of the Divine Dynasty will break into the barbarians, or the barbarians will kill into the territories of the states in Dongjun.

After the waiter finished speaking, Xue Yi gave him a silver ingot.

The narrator left, but the two people who listened to the story had no intention of eating or drinking.

"It seems that the situation is very bad..."

Xiao Qingruo did not move his chopsticks, nor did he drink the wine, frowning with worry.

Although the waiter never mentioned Shengwei Mansion once, from the perspective of the old barbarian king’s attack into the Divine Dynasty and the fact that the war lasted for three months, Lingzhou is likely to be in danger.

Shengwei Mansion, as the place where the old witch died, is bound to be retaliated and may be destroyed.

Xue Yi comforted, "Don't think so. Maybe the mansion owner and his men have been prepared for it. After we left, they quickly dispersed and left Lingzhou. Besides, the fifth generation of human emperors also promised to protect Shengwei Mansion. You don't have to worry too much."

"That's true, but the real situation may not be so optimistic." Xiao Qingruo sighed.

Xue Yi also sighed.

Although he has been here for a short time and does not have a deep affection for Shengwei Mansion.

But thinking that the place may have been destroyed, and the home where he and the eldest lady lived happily for half a year is gone, he is in a bad mood.

"Eat something delicious and go out to relax later." Xue Yi picked up some food for Xiao Qingruo.

"Yeah."

Although Xiao Qingruo was in a bad mood, today was Xue Yi's "birthday", so she quickly adjusted herself and didn't let the bad mood affect this special day.

After eating two bites, she was attracted by the taste of the food, her brows relaxed, and her mood adjusted.

"Xue Yi, happy 24th birthday~"

Xiao Qingruo raised the small cup and drank with him.

Xue Yi couldn't help but smile: "It seems like this is the first time I've seen you drink." As he said that, he drank the wine in the glass at the same time.

This wine is not high in alcohol, and it tastes sweet, suitable for girls to drink.

She tasted it and felt it was pretty good. She smiled and said, "I'm an adult now, so I can drink it."

"Yo~adult~"

Xue Yi smiled teasingly, took away her small wine glass, gave her a bowl, and then poured it all night long.

"Huh? What are you doing? Do you want to get me drunk?" Xiao Qingruo couldn't help but shrink his neck when he saw the bowl.

In fact, it's not that she can't drink. Now that she has reached the eighth level of the Immortality Realm, she can completely convert alcohol into energy and turn it into Qi, so she won't get drunk.

But today was a holiday to enjoy. It would be boring to do that. She also wanted to reward Xue Ergou, and her sincerity must be in place.

Xue Yi said: "We adults drink a lot of wine and eat meat. You don't know, right?"

"Humph, you're lying. I don't believe you. I want to drink wine and eat meat!"

Xiao Qingruo's inner rebelliousness aroused uncontrollably. She held the big bowl and took a small sip with her cherry mouth...the kind that was smaller than a wine glass.

Xue Yi couldn't laugh or cry: "If you drink like this, the alcohol will evaporate later, just like drinking water."

"It's not that easy to evaporate. The lower the degree, the slower it evaporates. Do you think I haven't studied?" Xiao Qingruo expressed dissatisfaction.

The two of them chatted casually, talking about useless things, bickering, and laughing. Their troubles were left behind, and they felt more and more relaxed.

The people in the restaurant couldn't help but smile on their faces as they watched the beautiful couple laughing and chatting, and they forgot the time.

An hour passed.

Xiao Qingruo's face turned red and he drank the wine in the bowl in an adult manner.

Then he said in a daze: "You bitch, you got me drunk on purpose...you must want to do something bad."

Xue Yi saw that she was swaying and about to fall, so he hugged her into his arms and said in his ear: "Yes, you are the 'bad guy'."
