The bold Ling Han!

"My Ice Cold Palace is willing to submit!"

"We have absolutely no intention of looking down on the Zhang Family!"

They could feel the sharp Sword Intent emanating from the gray-gold longsword in the sky.

Dou Yuan decisively admitted defeat.

He still has decades to live. Admitting defeat would indeed be shameful, but it's far better than dying!

Hearing this, Ling Han cursed inwardly, "Useless!"

It seems that seeking help from the Zhang Family is her only option.

This time, we absolutely cannot return to the Ice Cold Palace!

Otherwise, there will be no reason for you to leave the sect again!

After hearing Dou Yuan admit defeat, Zhang Xuanchen did not order Zhang Chongxian to withdraw the Sky Sword.

His gaze was fixed on Dou Yuan as he slowly spoke:

"Clan Leader Dou, I think you're really getting senile."

Your Ice Cold Palace has Half-step Nascent Soul expert like yourself in charge.

It is the undisputed overlord of the Northern Border Ice Plain.

Offering 500,000 Low-grade Spirit Stone every year is hardly befitting your status.

I think it would be more appropriate for your Ice Cold Palace to offer 800,000 Low-grade Spirit Stone annually.

What does Senior Dou think?

Zhang Xuanchen was fully aware of Dou Yuan's thoughts.

They simply refused to be subservient to others.

His ambition to dominate the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain has not completely vanished.

That old fox is waiting for his chance!

How could Zhang Xuanchen grant his wish!

Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Dou Yuan felt a pang of heartache, but he still chose to yield in the face of death.

"Clan Leader Zhang, I think it's quite reasonable."

From this day forward, my Ice Cold Palace will offer 800,000 Low-grade Spirit Stone to the Zhang Family annually!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen nodded in satisfaction.

He didn't care whether Dou Yuan was willing or not.

With so many people listening, if the Ice Cold Palace dares to pay even a single Spirit Stone less, the Zhang Family can use this as an excuse to cause trouble!

Seeing Zhang Xuanchen nod, the gray-gold longsword that Zhang Chongxian had conjured instantly dissipated.

The pressure from the Nascent Soul cultivator completely dissipated.

Just then, a warm and mellow female voice rang in everyone's ears:

"Clan Leader Zhang, I have something to say."

The moment the sound rang out, everyone in the room looked in the direction of the sound.

Dou Yuan's expression changed drastically, and a bad premonition rose in his heart!

He immediately turned around and rebuked:

"Shut up!

Who gave you, a junior, the right to speak here!

If you dare make another sound, I'll break your legs!

Dou Yuan stared intently at Ling Han with his cold eyes.

His eyes were full of warning.

However, Ling Han chose to ignore it, showing no intention of paying any attention.

They were about to head towards the center of the Dao Platform.

Seeing this, Dou Yuan knew exactly what Ling Han was up to.

He hissed, "Insolence!"

The pressure from the Half-step Nascent Soul cultivator pressed down entirely on Ling Han.

Zhang Xuanchen's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Senior Dou."

Today is a joyous day for my Zhang Family.

"You've repeatedly provoked my Zhang Family. Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Zhang Xuanchen knew that Ling Han had some feelings for his Brother.

It's neither morally nor logically possible for us to sit idly by!

Upon hearing this, Dou Yuan quickly defended himself:

"Clan Leader Zhang, I did not intend to provoke the Zhang Family, but this is not the place for a junior like Ling Han to speak."

She..."

Before Dou Yuan could finish speaking, Zhang Xuanchen raised his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Shut up!"

Whether it's true or not, the Clan Leader decides!

"Our Clan Leader never said that the younger generation of any faction must not speak!"

Then, looking at Ling Han, he said:

"If I Clan Leader correctly, you are the young master of the Ice Cold Palace."

What do you want to say?

Upon hearing this, Ling Han glanced at Dou Yuan's murderous gaze.

Turning to look at Zhang Xuanchen, he said:

"Clan Leader Zhang, I have long admired the True Person Cold Firmament of the Zhang Family."

I have long admired him.

As she spoke, Ling Han looked at Zhang Xuanbing, whose expression was Frost but clearly somewhat unnatural.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with love.

"Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to express my feelings."

"I want to marry True Person Cold Firmament as Co-wife or concubine."

She was clever; she made it clear from the outset that she would not compete with Su Muyan for status or power.

In this way, no one can find any fault with it.

To retreat in order to advance.

Because she knew very well that if Zhang Xuanbing or the Zhang Family refused...

She will definitely be forcibly taken back to the Ice Cold Palace by Dou Yuan.

And the outcome will definitely be terrible!

Therefore, she had no choice but to succeed!

Failure means death!

These words moved everyone at Dao Platform.

Expressing affection in such a setting requires considerable boldness; if Zhang Xuanbing rejects her, Ling Han's reputation will be severely damaged.

The younger generation from various powerful factions came to observe the ceremony.

The man felt regret and helplessness.

After all, Ling Han is exceptionally talented, with a top-notch figure and looks, making her the dream goddess of countless men.

But now, the goddess is asking to marry someone else as a Co-wife or even Concubine.

This is really unpleasant!

Many of the women, however, showed expressions of envy and admiration.

They dared to do what others dared not do.

The brothers Zhang Xuanchen and Zhang Xuanbing broke through to the Golden Core stage at a young age. They were handsome and their talent and strength were unparalleled in the South Sea.

Women are naturally drawn to strength, and they are no exception.

As for the fact that they are married and have children, that's not a big deal at all.

In this world, it is perfectly normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines.

Not to mention a man like Zhang Xuanbing who has a family, good looks, talent, and strength.

Of course, there are also many cultivators who are devoted to the Dao or deeply in love, and therefore have no Daoist partner, or only one Daoist partner.

Standing next to Zhang Xuanbing, Su Muyan felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing Ling Han's words.

But not many.

This is perfectly normal.

As the Zhang Family grows stronger and Zhang Xuanbing becomes more powerful, this situation will only occur more frequently.

She has already given birth to a child with remarkable talent for Zhang Xuanbing.

She was also deeply favored by Zhang Xuanbing.

Her position as the principal wife is unshakeable.

Therefore, Zhang Xuanbing is not particularly opposed to having another wife.

Moreover, Zhang Xuanbing had already told her about Ling Han.

She also felt great sympathy for Ling Han.

I also want to help them escape their suffering.

Zhang Xuanbing looked at Ling Han with a complicated expression.

To be honest, he hadn't expected this kind of scene.

In the past, he would never have believed that the Zhang Family would become Nascent Soul Clan in just a few years.

It made all the gods bow down.

However, since I promised to help Ling Han out of this predicament, I can't go back on my word.

For now, the only option is to agree, hoping to get Ling Han to stay with the Zhang Family.

If they refuse, and the Ancestor forces Dou Yuan to compromise through force, it will not only damage the Zhang Family's reputation but also severely harm Ling Han's name.

He nodded at Zhang Xuanchen and transmitted his voice:

"Xuan Chen, let her stay; don't let her return to the sect."

Those few words made Zhang Xuanchen suddenly realize something.

He gave Dou Yuan and Ling Han a deep look.

There's more to this than meets the eye.

But no matter what, this is a good thing.

After all, Ling Han's talent is undeniable.

The Zhang Family will definitely not lose out!

Looking at Ling Han, he asked her carefully:

"Young Master Ling, is this truly the case?"

"Really!"

"Alright! I see that Brother don't mind either, so after the banquet, Young Master Ling can stay at the Zhang Family for the time being."

I spent some time with my Brother.

If you feel good, then a powerful member of my Zhang Family will accompany you to the Ice Cold Palace to propose marriage.
