The Sun God Ra devoured the small sun that came out of the broken Yata no Kagami. Upon devouring the small sun, the Sun God Ra could be seen becoming stronger and a tiny sun that is the size of a marble started orbiting around him.

"You have my greatest gratitude, Champion Equinox. You are actually the first to give me a real sun stone but some of your allies have confirmed that they found the sun stones as well. All that is left is for them to get it like you. May the light of the sun guide you in your endeavors." The Sun God Ra stated as he healed Adrian from his ailments.

"Dimensional Teleportation!" Adrian stated as he opened a gate to another continent.

"Where are you going, guild master? You just got back with a sun stone. Will you not take a rest before heading out again?" Cairo asked after suddenly seeing Adrian finish his conversation with the Sun God Ra.

"I need to help my friends that I suddenly left. I just needed to hand that thing immediately as it drops upon death. I did not want all our hard work to just vanish into the air when I die there." Adrian stated.

"I see. Please be careful and do your best. Send the others my regards as well." Cairo stated as he is still in guard duty as some monsters suddenly attacked the Temple of the Sun.

"Thanks! I am off." Adrian stated as he vanished from the Temple of the Sun.

"I forgot to tell him about the thing that keeps popping up in the guild chat notifications. I am pretty sure that he has seen it though." Cairo stated as he went back to his duties.

While Adrian vanished for a moment, all the imperial guards have gathered in the directions of the monsters attacking the barrier. It seems that the people attacking the imperial city are all powerful masters accompanied by twenty Corpse Legion (Jiangshi). The one that is controlling the Corpse Legion (Jiangshi) is not showing itself which means they would have to take them down.

"This is bad." Levin Cloud stated as they do not know who is the one that is maintaining the twenty Corpse Legion (Jiangshi).

"I have returned." Adrian stated as a portal appeared next to his friends.

"I thought that you really abandoned us." Peridot stated but she still held on to the belief that Adrian will return.

"I just needed to deliver the sun stone to the Sun God Ra. It drops upon death and us dying here is pretty likely. We should play smart sometimes and not get carried away with the moment." Adrian stated.

"What the battle junkie says? Anyways, do you think we will win? The ones attacking are not only twenty Corpse Legion (Jiangshi) but there are also three hundred or so powerful NPCs." Levin Cloud stated.

"I doubt it but that is due to me not knowing the power of the imperial city." Adrian stated as the sound of a zither suddenly echoed in the surrounding.

The sound of the zither calmed the people that were panicking. The soldiers then told to the people to go to the shelter as the barrier might be brought down. All the soldiers were actively leading all the people in the imperial city to the shelter as the Celestial Emperor ordered Princess Shini to bring the barrier down to make sure that she does not get heavily injured.

The sound not only calmed down the citizens but also created another barrier around the whole imperial capital. The barrier reinforced the barrier that Princess Shini created as well as strengthened in quite a bit. It did make Princess Yinyue become slightly pale as she also sacrificed some of her life force to create such a big barrier.

The Celestial Emperor then told the ministers to prepare the ritual. The Celestial Emperor suddenly started to pray and his aura intensified. Behind the Celestial Emperor are the silhouettes of the four divine beasts. Each of the silhouette contained the powerful insight of the four divine beasts.

The four silhouettes then suddenly split up from the aura that the Celestial Emperor released. Each of the silhouettes then went to their respective gates. The four gates of the imperial city has a gold statue of their respective divine beasts. The Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermillion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West and the Black Tortoise of the North are the four divine beasts with golden statues in their respective gates.

What looked like a normal golden statue turned out to be a powerful guardian artifact. Each of the golden statues suddenly came to life and started to defend the barrier covering the imperial capital. The Celestial Emperor, on the other hand, became weaker as the blessings that were given to him were used to empower the golden statues.

The four golden statues did not disappoint though as each of them were powerful in their own right as they could battle three Corpse Legion (Jiangshi) at the same time. Twelve Corpse Legion (Jiangshi) are now being handled but there were still eight more left. Eight of them are still a threat to the barrier as they can corrode it with their miasma.

"I guess we should move now. We did get a lot of experience points when we killed one." Adrian stated.

"Why not say that we are doing it because we do not want our hard work of helping the imperial family go to waste." Peridot stated.

"Are you going to battle?" a voice suddenly came from behind them and it was none other than the seventh prince.

"How did you get here, your highness?! You should go and evacuate and let the guards handle it." Peridot stated.

"No! I will fight! I can hear the pained screams of the souls that are in those beings." The seventh prince stated as he pointed towards the Corpse Legion (Jiangshi).
