Despite hearing Han Yun's words, King Earl, although slightly angered, waved his hand to signal the guards to lower their weapons and step back. Then, King Earl smiled and said to Han Yun in front of him, "Please, Lord Han, forgive them. These soldiers have strong tempers, and if there is any offense, I hope you'll bear with them."

Han Yun shrugged, indicating it was nothing, but he reminded himself once again of his current situation: alone and vulnerable. He needed to be cautious in his words. If he managed to provoke the other party, he wouldn't gain any advantage.

"You've seen it yourself, Lord Han. It's not as you might have imagined here. Despite the Mastanians occupying the Eternal Star, it's still peaceful, and I haven't lost control over these soldiers," King Earl said.

"Who knows? Maybe all of this is staged just for me to see? Perhaps the Destroyer is only tolerating you for some purpose?" Han Yun continued to question. This time, he spoke with a tone of bantering familiarity, being careful with his words.

King Earl, being a sovereign, naturally had great restraint and diplomacy. Therefore, when faced with Han Yun's sarcastic remarks, he didn't intend to argue much. Instead, he chuckled self-deprecatingly and said again, "Ah, I understand Lord Han's doubts about what he's seen. I'm very willing to discuss this further with Lord Han. However, so much has happened today, and everyone is tired. So, why don't we put aside these questions for now? Let me host a banquet to welcome Lord Han's first visit. Everyone can relax. Tomorrow, I will personally take Lord Han to tour the Eternal Star City. What do you think, Lord Han?"

Han Yun knew that although King Earl's tone of seeking his opinion was humble, he actually had no choice. Besides, Han Yun wanted to delay the time of peaceful coexistence between the two sides as much as possible and hoped to use the rest time to gather more intelligence about the Eternal Star and the Mastanians. So, Han Yun pretended to be helpless, spread his hands, and asked rhetorically, "Do I have any other choice? Well, since I won't be leaving the Eternal Star for a while, why not take this opportunity to appreciate the customs of the Eternal Star?"

King Earl immediately ordered with joy, "Good! Summon my command! Prepare a banquet to welcome Lord Han! At the same time, reward the soldiers and the hardworking servants in the mansion! Everyone has been busy all day and deserves some rest!"

"Her Majesty the Queen has arrived!" With a deep and resounding message, a fully armed guard quickly entered the lounge.

These were a group of Eternal Star warriors, averaging two meters tall, exceptionally strong. Among these warriors, there was a relatively small figure, but equally armed from head to toe, a female warrior stood out. Her armor was noticeably more exquisite, adorned with red ribbons embroidered with intricate patterns around her waist and back, perfectly highlighting the female warrior's heroic and pivotal position.

Captain Tie Zhu and his team knelt down immediately upon seeing this female warrior, respectfully and loudly calling out, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen!"

As expected by Dao Lao and Dream Jia, this female warrior who clearly distinguished herself was Queen Antaneris of the Eternal Star. Dao Lao and Dream Jia, being priests of the divine realm, naturally did not need to salute a mere queen of the mortal realm. However, knowing that this queen was also a priest from the divine realm, they still slightly bowed to greet the queen.

Dream Jia was very curious about this queen hidden in armor. Which priest from the divine realm did she come from? Of course, her curiosity about this queen was partly because Dao Lao suspected that this queen was Judge Yan's long-lost daughter. On the other hand, she was very curious about what this priest who had married the creatures of the mortal realm looked like?

Dao Lao's heart was full of expectation at this moment, because he sincerely hoped that the queen in front of him was Judge Yan's long-lost daughter. The reason why Dao Lao's mood became so excited at this moment was because he felt a strong familiarity from the moment the queen appeared, from the queen's actions and the temperament emanating from the thick armor, he felt a strong sense of familiarity.

Because everyone knelt down together, Dao Lao and Dream Jia, who were still standing in place, became particularly eye-catching, which made the Queen quickly see the faces of the two. So, after the Queen was taken aback for a moment, she quickly walked to Dao Lao and asked with an incredulous and pleasantly surprised tone, "Uncle Dao? Uncle Dao! Is it really you!"

As the godfather of Judge Yan, Dao Lao was naturally very familiar with the voice. Coupled with the fact that he had now seen the queen remove her helmet, he could see the queen's distinctive dark brown curly hair and the beautiful face with the same dominant air as Judge Yan. Therefore, Dao Lao immediately stepped forward and grabbed the queen's arms tightly, saying excitedly, "Chaozhan? Chaozhan! Is it really you?! I actually found you!"

Yan Chaozhan allowed Dao Lao to shake her body vigorously like a drum, and then asked quickly and excitedly, "Uncle Dao, how did you—, how did you find me! My God! Am I dreaming?!"

"Yes! It's me! I didn't expect to really find you! Ah! But all of this is a long story! Oh! Right! Let me show you something!" Dao Lao said excitedly as he looked up and down Yan Chaozhan with the affectionate eyes of a parent towards their child.

Then, Dao Lao hurriedly searched his body and after a surprise, he turned to look at Dream Jia. Dream Jia also quickly searched her pocket, then suddenly realized and slapped her thigh and said, "Oh! Forget! At the time, I gave the dagger to Han Yun! That dagger was on him!"

"Dagger?" Yan Chao Yue first paused in surprise, then uncertainly furrowed her brow. Dao Lao looked at Yan Chao Yue with an inquiring gaze and responded vaguely. Then he quickly scanned the lounge, indicating that it wasn't convenient to discuss this matter with so many people present.

Yan Chao Yue nodded in agreement. Then she said, "Uncle Dao, and this priestess sister, please come with me to the palace to rest. I have a lot to talk to you about."

Then, Yan Chao Yue turned to General Tie Dao and said, "General Tie Dao, I'm glad to see you all back safely. Everyone has worked hard." General Tie Dao maintained a very respectful posture and said in a very self-reproaching tone, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the King of Eul, ah! I'm incompetent! I failed to protect His Majesty! It's my fault for letting Your Majesty down! I deserve to die!"

"I am incompetent! I have let down Your Majesty's trust! I am willing to be punished!" The courtiers who followed General Tie Dao also said in unison, including Captain Tie Zhu and his squad members.

Because Tie Zhu and his squad hurried back to the Mu Xing Palace as soon as they returned, they immediately notified Yan Chao Yue at the same time as they reported the situation to the King of Eul. Therefore, when she heard General Tie Dao confirm again that the King of Eul had been captured and infected with the Mastan poison, she did not show too much emotional fluctuation. She just smiled helplessly and said, "Please get up quickly, everyone. Everyone is my confidant with the King. I naturally know that you will never fail my expectations. It's just that the Mastanians' attack on the Mu Xing Palace was too sudden and too loud to be within your capabilities. This led to the unfortunate capture of King Eul. So, how can I blame you? And I believe that King Eul will not be captured so easily. Since he made such a choice, there must be a reason for it."

General Tie Dao did not speak, but lowered his upper body again, making his body stand there with a complete ninety-degree posture to indicate his agreement with Yan Chao Yue's speculation. Yan Chao Yue saw this and sighed deeply, stabilizing her emotions before continuing, "General Tie Dao, you must have suffered a lot during this time. Since everyone can safely return to the Mu Xing Palace, then quickly return to report to your family and rest well. As for the rest, we can discuss it later."

"But, His Majesty the King is still in the hands of the Mastanians. If we don't act quickly, he—General Tie Dao immediately opposed, and again expressed that the most urgent task now is to find a way to rescue the King of Eul. As for himself, whether he should rest or not is completely unimportant.

"Well. General Tie Dao, listen to my arrangements first. Please believe me, I am more anxious than anyone else to rescue the Kingdom of Eul. However, the problem now is that King Eul has been infected with the Mastanian poison. I think you can guess what consequences he will face, and I don't need to say more about it. So, about how to carry out the next rescue operation, we should discuss it carefully." Yan Chao Yue said to the generals and soldiers in the room.

"Moreover, the arrival of these two priests also indicates that the spirits of the Spirit World have indeed not forgotten us. So I must take the time to carefully discuss with them and see if the spirits of the Spirit World can provide us with more help to help us get rid of the predicament. And what we have to do now is that we must not be in disarray because the king was captured. We must remember the heavy responsibilities on our shoulders and prioritize the overall situation. We must protect the safety of all the people in Yongmu Xing so that we can have the opportunity to win the final victory." Yan Chao Yue continued. Yan Chao Yue's strong field matched her firm words, quickly convincing everyone present and calming the excited loyal ministers in an instant.

Looking at Yan Chao Yue's powerful aura when speaking, Dao Lao on the side also had a mixed feeling. Yan Chao Yue did not show much emotion after learning that her husband had been captured and transformed into a waste person by the Mastanians. Instead, she could maintain a calm and clear mind, calmly deploying her subsequent work actions, indicating that she became the Queen of Yongmu Xing. After that, her originally calm and capable mind was further strengthened. The king's demeanor that Yan Chao Yue showed now was enough to command the kings of the world, and it could not help but let Dao Lao see that when she ruled the thirteenth district of the Yin spirit world, the king's demeanor.

Since the teleportation array in the Mu Xing Palace was also set in the palace of the King of Eul, for the sake of safety, the entire palace of the king's palace was transformed into a closed hall, and the most elite troops were kept on duty around the clock to prevent the Mastanians from launching a sudden attack on the Mu Xing Palace. Therefore, after giving instructions to the officials and nobles present, Yan Chao Yue invited Dao Lao and Dream Jia to return to her newly built palace with her to facilitate their better rest, and also to facilitate them to exchange the intelligence they know.

"Chao Yue, you really grew up now! Not only that, but it looks like you have also grown into a great leader like your father, who can stand alone! Huh ha ha! Chao Yue, you are indeed the eldest princess of the thirteenth district of the Yin spirit world! You did not disappoint everyone! If old Yan knows your achievements now, he must laugh and can't close his mouth!" Dao Lao sat down on a large chair with a big beard, combed it with his hand, and praised endlessly.

"Hey! Let Uncle Dao laugh! By the way, my parents—how are they now?" Yan Chao Yue asked with some embarrassment, shaking her hand, and then asking with a worried tone.

Dao Lao squeezed out a forced smile and replied, "Ah! Don't worry, they are both fine now. After you suddenly disappeared, many things happened in the City of Spirits. This kept your father busy with official duties, which in a way helped distract him from feeling too much pain due to your absence. Of course, at least in front of us, his emotions seem normal. As for your mother—ah! Since your incident, she has often stayed indoors. The last few times I visited your home, I didn't see her."

"Mother—" Upon hearing this, Yan Chao Yue couldn't help but sigh sadly to herself. Unable to let her parents know about her life or death, causing them much psychological trauma, Yan Chao Yue's mood was also very uneasy.
