Xiao Ling, the Number One Female Swordsman!

Upon receiving Hua Xichen's message, the four clan leaders immediately rushed to find Empress Ji Ya...

Unfortunately... Empress Ji Ya has gone into seclusion...

Moreover, it was a complete seclusion, and no one knew exactly when she would emerge. The four clan leaders were so anxious that they almost wanted to ask the Vast Heaven Holy Land if they could move the mountain where Empress Ji Ya was in seclusion to the Vast Heaven Holy Land first.

However, since Empress Ji Ya Ji Ya is in seclusion, there's no way to conduct ideological work for the time being; we can only wait until she emerges from seclusion.

Upon hearing the news of Empress Ji Ya's seclusion, Chu Xinghe looked utterly helpless...

When this news reached us, we heard that over four hundred porcelain kilns at the Haotian Palace were destroyed in a single day... We don't know if it was due to difficulties in firing Dao Porcelain, or if there were some other reason...

As time goes by, the day when little Feng Yuqing turns one month old will soon arrive.

The Vast Heaven Holy Land has also prepared all the gifts of gratitude.

Originally, Vast Heaven Holy Land had not planned a grand event, but due to the arrival of various prodigies who shamelessly lingered and exchanged ideas at Vast Heaven Holy Land now had no choice but to send out invitations to the bigwigs of various forces to participate, otherwise it would be impolite, right?

As invitations were sent out, bigwigs from all sides flocked to Vast Heaven Holy Land. Goodness... none of them came empty-handed... each one prepared a generous gift for Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Of all these generous gifts, the most lavish came from the Four Great Clans of the Spirit Beast Continent.

The Hua Clan and Ming Clans were alright, since both families were relatively wealthy. But the Clan Head Cui and Clan Head Ning had to sell everything they owned to come with such a generous gift!

Why prepare such an expensive gift?

It's very simple, because they really want to marry the Empress to the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Look at how crazy the Vast Heaven Holy Land is about a simple marriage proposal gift. If they were to marry our Empress to them, just imagine how high the dowry would be!

Empress Ji Ya represents our Spirit Beast Continent, so shouldn't this betrothal gift also be given to our Spirit Beast Continent...?

Good heavens, won't most of all that betrothal gifts end up in the hands of the Four Great Clans?

Just tell me whether you're going to win or not!

What the hell? You're saying our Four Great Clans are selling their daughters?!

I urge you to be kind! Are we selling our daughter? We're selling our Empress... Besides, our Empress has always held Holy Lord Gu in the highest esteem; they are truly soulmates. How can you say we're selling her...?

An Ying doesn't know what the Four Great Clans are thinking right now... but An Ying is on the verge of collapse these past few days...

So what happened to the promised holiday for the Civil Engineering Department students?

We were promised a tenth of the resources we'd receive as a thank-you gift, and that our Civil Engineering Department would have a holiday. But now, what's with all the extra work?

An Ying is going crazy... An Ying never imagined he'd develop a condition called "resource overload phobia" in his life...

Now, just seeing the resources that have been brought in makes An Ying feel nauseous.

Even so, An Ying hasn't been idle these days. An Ying's been suppressing his nausea while planning the destruction of the Three Continents...

An Ying had already planned the scheme about ten days ago...

What the heck? You're asking why you made a plan ten days ago but haven't taken any action yet!

To this, An Ying retorted, "Is it because I don't want to act?"

I must be able to make it this far...

Although the last plan failed, all the Civil Engineering Department students think I went out to slack off... They're incredibly angry about my slacking off... They're even all pressing me to tell them exactly how I slacked off...

Why can't they slack off...?

Therefore, these days the disciples of the Civil Engineering Department have been keeping a close eye on An Ying, and An Ying has not had the slightest chance to leave the Vast Heaven Divine Domain to carry out his plan.

But as the saying goes, heaven rewards those who persevere.

The An Ying finally got its chance. These past few days, with various powerful figures arriving, the Vast Heaven Holy Land has been preparing various preparations for their hospitality... even some of the Civil Engineering Department disciples have been pulled into doing chores...

In this situation, An Ying finally found a glimmer of hope.

So An Ying escaped from the Vast Heaven Divine Domain without hesitation. After escaping, An Ying found a place where no one noticed her and activated the Thousand Illusions Phantom Art... In an instant, An Ying transformed into the appearance of a woman carrying a sword.

This woman was none other than Xiao Ling from Martial Emperor City.

Xiao Ling was the little girl with Sword Intent who came with Zheng Yu when Chu Xinghe participated in the martial arts competition between the disciples of the two sects.

She also gave Vast Heaven Holy Land a bad start in the first battle, defeating Wan Lin with Sword Intent. However, it was in that battle that Wan Lin comprehended the Staff Intent!

Xiao Ling and Zheng Yu were disciples who entered the sect in the same batch. Although Xiao Ling's talent was somewhat inferior to Zheng Yu's, she was definitely a rare ruthless person among the younger generation.

However, Xiao Ling prefers quiet and rarely shows herself in public.

However, Xiao Ling's Sword Intent has now reached an extremely profound level. Even when facing a peerless genius like Zheng Yu, Xiao Ling still has the power to fight.

Xiao Ling is now even hailed as the number one female swordsman of the younger generation!

She was on par with Wan Lin, the number one female baseball player...

This time, it was Zheng Yu who brought Xiao Ling to the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

The reason An Ying chose to transform into Xiao Ling was simple... because his target today was Feng Yuqing!

That's right, it's Feng Fei's daughter.

The An Ying's plan was very simple: to disguise himself as Xiao Ling from Martial Emperor City and then enter the mansion where Jiuli was located.

He approached Feng Yuqing under the pretense of visiting the baby, then suddenly attacked and killed her...

If we're going to do it, let's do it the biggest...

Now, the Vast Heaven Holy Land is holding a thank-you ceremony for the newborn and inviting bigwigs from all sides to celebrate the baby's one-month birthday.

If, at this moment, the Martial Emperor City's Xiao Ling, whom he himself had transformed into, killed Feng Fei's daughter, one can imagine the fury that Feng Fei and Jiuli would feel.

Not only are Feng Fei and Jiuli furious, but the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land will probably go completely berserk!

Then you can say that Vast Heaven Holy Land and Martial Emperor City will directly start fighting... And once these two start a war, the entire Blazing Sun Continent and even the entire Three Continents will be thrown into chaos!

The reason for choosing Xiao Ling was twofold: firstly, because Xiao Ling was a disciple of the Martial Emperor City, and secondly, because Xiao Ling was a woman.

After all, Feng Yuqing is still in Jiuli's room. If she were to disguise herself as Zheng Yu and go to visit her, it would seem strange no matter what.

But it's completely different when you transform into Xiao Ling... Xiao Ling is a woman, so it wouldn't seem out of place for a woman to enter Jiuli's room to visit the child.

If the Holy Son of Vast Heaven Holy Land is so weak, surely the newborn baby of Vast Heaven Holy Land can't be like that too!

Therefore, this An Ying was certain that his plan was foolproof!

As An Ying had predicted, An Ying arrived at Feng Fei and Jiuli's residence disguised as Xiao Ling. An Ying had even prepared a few cute little gifts.

The disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land outside the mansion recognized Xiao Ling as the An Ying who had come with gifts.

"Senior Sister Xiao, you're so thoughtful..."

"Senior Sister Xiao, please come in. Senior Sister Wan Lin and Senior Sister Ouyang Ling are also inside talking with Sister-in-law Jiuli."

The An Ying who transformed into Xiao Ling dared not say that he was 100% Xiao Ling's appearance, but he could at least imitate him to about 70-80%.

But that was enough. After all, the people from Vast Heaven Holy Land didn't know much about Xiao Ling. They only knew that Xiao Ling came from Martial Emperor City and that she had defeated Wan Lin back then. What else did they know?

So, if the imitation is about 70-80% accurate, it's enough to fool everyone.

As they entered the mansion, An Ying followed the directions given by the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land and arrived at Jiuli's room.

Standing outside the room, An Ying gently knocked on the door, and only entered after receiving a response from inside.

"Oh... it's Senior Sister Xiao Ling... such a rare guest... please, please have a seat..."

Wan Lin recognized Xiao Ling at a glance. Although Wan Lin was still not entirely convinced of Xiao Ling's defeat back then, it was just a competition. Wan Lin naturally acknowledged Xiao Ling's abilities, and he also felt that Xiao Ling had contributed to his understanding of the Staff Intent.

"Oh, it's Junior Sister Wan Lin. I've prepared some little toys here, come and see the little girl..." An Ying's performance was perfect. As he entered the house, he took out his little gift and prepared to approach Feng Yuqing. This time, An Ying didn't intend to hesitate. Once he got close, he would take advantage of everyone's lack of reaction time to kill Feng Yuqing with one blow, and then turn and run...

Just as the An Ying was about to approach Feng Yuqing, Ouyang Ling stood up.

"Let me see what kind of little toys these are..." Ouyang Ling walked up with a sweet smile.

Good heavens, An Ying trembled the moment he saw Ouyang Ling.

As the saying goes, a person's reputation is reflected in their actions. During his time in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, An Ying learned a little about Ouyang Ling... and what he learned was terrifying...

In the words of the Vast Heaven Holy Land disciples, if a spy falls into the hands of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, don't wait to be questioned, just surrender... If you want to try and demonstrate your qualities as a spy, then at most you can hold out until Elder He's turn, but whatever you do, whatever you do, whatever you do, don't fall into Ouyang Ling's hands...

Otherwise, whether you want to speak or not is not up to you; it's up to Ouyang Ling...

Ouyang Ling, a person whom the Dark Moon Clan would seal the gates of the Dark Moon Palace upon seeing, a person whom the Dark Moon Clan would like to erect a sign at the palace gate prohibiting Ouyang Ling from entering!

So the moment An Ying saw Ouyang Ling, An Ying panicked and An Ying handed the small toy to her. Ouyang Ling didn't say much about the gift An Ying Ouyang Ling her and started teasing Feng Yuqing with the toy.

"Wan Lin, please invite Junior Sister Xiao Ling to sit down..." Jiuli said from the side.

"Yes, yes, Senior Sister Xiao Ling, please sit down..." Wan Lin quickly gestured for An Ying to sit down.

As An Ying said "Don't be so polite," An Ying sat down, instantly displeased with his earlier reaction!

I am not An Ying, I am Xiao Ling! I am from Martial Emperor City, I have no reason to be afraid of Ouyang Ling...

I gave myself away for a split second... Luckily they didn't think much of it, otherwise I would have been exposed by now!

As a Phantom Evil Spirits, and the Future Holy Son of Evil Spirits, An Ying was extremely dissatisfied with his performance just now...

However, An Ying is An Ying after all... An Ying knew that although he had just revealed a flaw, as long as he quickly adjusted, they would not suspect anything.

As the saying goes, the best way to cover something up is not to explain why you acted that way, because the more you explain, the more suspicious the other person will become.

The best way to cover it up is to quickly shift the focus and topic, so that everyone unconsciously overlooks the flaw you just made.

Thinking of this, An Ying's gaze fell on the tea and snacks on the table!

Seeing the tea An Ying immediately had an idea and quickly steered the conversation towards them, asking things like, "Who made these tea snacks? Their skills are amazing! I'm so envious!" After all, who doesn't love to hear compliments?

Thinking this, An Ying picked up the tea and snacks on the table without hesitation and ate them in one bite. As he ate, An Ying said, "These tea and snacks are delicious... yes..."

To Jiuli's utter astonishment, An Ying fell...
