"Something happened?!"
Chu Wan'er Hearing this, her eyebrows suddenly knitted together, and a flash of panic flashed across her beautiful eyes.
She quickly turned around and looked at Xu Linglong: "Sister Linglong, over there in the main line... is there any specific information about Mu Mei, sister Xueyao? It is said that such a big news about Northern Region True Dragon Competition, the name of husband 'Jie Tian' has already spread throughout the four regions. If they know about it, they will definitely try to contact them."
Xu Linglong looked slightly gloomy and shook his head slowly. "There is no subpoena."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the corridor became more and more tense.
"Yes."
"Lineage has a secret message, it was just sent!"
However, at this moment, an old but energetic voice suddenly came from the end of the corridor.
The sound is not loud, but like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, it falls steadily into everyone's ears.
Everyone turned around when they heard the sound.
At the end of the corridor, two figures were standing quietly.
The person in front was a man of short stature, with a slightly hunched back. He was dressed in an old gray robe that had been washed white. He had a haggard face and half-closed eyes, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.
It is Su Family Ancestor, Su Che.
Half a step behind him, there stood an old man with beard and hair as white as bronze.
The old man was wearing a Plain White robe without any decorations. Only a simple-shaped token hung around his waist, with an almost flattened word "virtual" vaguely engraved on it.
His breath was so calm that it was almost nothingness.
However, it is this nothingness that is most terrifying.
Ye Xuan Divine Sense moved slightly, but could not sense the depth of the other party's cultivation at all, as if the person standing there was not a living monk, but a blank.
Eight Tribulation Heavenly Venerable.
A giant of this level, even if placed in Central Region Heavenly Void Palace, would still have top-level combat power enough to serve as an elder.
Ye Xuan and Chu Wan'er looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
The weight of this secret message is probably far beyond imagination.
When the white-haired old man saw everyone's eyes gathering, he walked forward slowly and stopped three feet away from Ye Xuan. He solemnly held his hands in his hands and bowed to the bottom.
"The main line of the Xu family enshrines Xu Kun. On the order of the clan leader, I escorted the secret letter here and presented it to Heavenly Emperor Son in person."
"I'm late, I hope Imperial Son will forgive me."
The voice was low and steady, yet extremely solemn.
Eight Tribulation Heavenly Venerable, such a great gift to a respected junior!
If this scene were seen by outside monks, it would be shocking.
However, Xu Kun did it so naturally, as if it was natural.
Ye Xuan did not show off, took half a step sideways, and returned the greeting solemnly. "Senior, you are so polite. I dare to ask about this secret message..."
"Imperial Son will be known at a glance." Xu Kun held it up with both hands, and a Jade Slip with silver light flowing all over its body appeared out of thin air.
As soon as Jade Slip appeared, it emitted layers of forbidden fluctuations, which were so complicated and mysterious that it was dizzying.
Ye Xuan pupils shrink.
The prohibition on Jade Slip is not a common rune on Outer Heavens, but...
Desolate Heavenly Emperor Forbidden Pattern!
A unique ban originating from the Desolate Heavenly Emperor lineage!
In this Outer Heavens, the only ones who can impose such restrictions are the few Imperial Daughter who ascended with him!
In other words, this secret message does not come from the Xu family, but...
Ye Xuan no longer hesitated, raised his hand and pressed softly, a wisp of Profound Yellow Qi appeared on his fingertips, which accurately matched the forbidden lines.
Buzz!
Jade Slip trembles slightly, and the layers of inhibition peel off, like flowers blooming.
He Divine Sense sank.
For a long time, Ye Xuan slowly raised his eyes. There was no sadness or joy on his face, but there seemed to be a chill deep in his eyes.
Chu Wan'er took Jade Slip from his hand, and Su Bingyan, Xu Linglong, and Ji Youxuan immediately surrounded him.
The fourth girl Divine Sense poked her head in, and for a moment, her beauty turned pale.
The handwriting in the letter is graceful and sassy, and it is indeed Ji Xueyao's own handwriting.
"My husband personally declares:
Seeing words is like meeting.
We already know everything about Northern Region. In the name of 'Jie Tian', my husband overcame all the heroes and won Young Lord, and he lived up to the power of Heavenly Emperor Son. Although Xueyao and her sisters were thousands of miles apart, they were still honored and drank to the moon to congratulate her husband.
However, when Northern Region achieves great victory, it is also the day when our predicament becomes clear.
My husband must have wondered why sister Mu Mei and others did not participate, and sister Yeyue abstained midway.
The reason must be made clear to your husband.
Ye Xun In the name of heaven, the five Great Emperor clans except Chu and Su simultaneously issued the "marriage decree".
On the same day, I received an envoy from the Heavenly Void Palace who came in person with a heavenly talisman. In the name of jointly resisting Foreign Domain and stabilizing the Daoist tradition, he forced Imperial Daughter of all races to betrothed to Imperial Son, the final winner of True Dragon Competition in this region.
This is not marriage, but coercion.
Although each imperial clan has a profound foundation, the clan leaders are all trapped in the Central Region Heavenly Court, claiming to be discussing big plans together, but in reality they are hostages.
The person in charge of the clan did not dare to openly break with the Heavenly Void Palace. He could only refuse to participate on the grounds that Imperial Daughter was concentrating on cultivation and would not participate in the competition for the time being, as a form of protest.
Sister Yeyue has a fiery personality and refuses to surrender, so she resolutely competes alone, hoping to sweep away Southern Region with Asura Emperor's Blood and use her strength to drive away all those who covet her.
However, there was a sudden turmoil within the Shura Imperial Clan at this time, and the Shura ancestral land was forcibly sealed off. Yeyue's sister had to abstain midway and return to the clan in order to quell the civil strife.
Although the civil strife has now subsided, True Dragon Competition has long been settled, and the position of Southern Region Young Lord has fallen into the hands of Bai Yuxiao.
Husband, Xue Yao wrote this not to complain, nor to ask for help.
We know that you are also a thorn in Northern Region now. The Blazing Dragon, War Emperor and other clans hate you to the bone. Heavenly Void Palace is eyeing you with covetous eyes. Young Lords of the Three Regions is even more helpless. You are carrying far more on your shoulders than we are.
So, don't worry about us.
Although the imperial clans are being coerced, their secrets remain, and Ye Xun does not dare to force them too much.
We are still working hard, practicing hard, working hard to deal with it, and trying hard to hold on to every ounce of available strength for our husband under this net named heaven.
Until the day you need us.
Whether it's killing Central Region or defeating Heavenly Void Palace, no one of us sisters will hold back your husband.
Husband, we miss you.
The last few words, the handwriting trembled slightly, as if there were tears blurring the ink.
There was silence in the corridor.
Chu Wan'er's fingers holding Jade Slip were slightly white, Su Bingyan bit his lower lip tightly, Xu Linglong's eyes were red, Ji Youxuan's face was still expressionless, but fine lines of frost had formed in the depths of those ice blue eyes.
So that's it.
It turns out that it's not that they are weak, but that they voluntarily gave up their qualifications to compete in order to prevent Lineage from completely falling to the Heavenly Void Palace.
It was they who used the most restrained resistance to hold the final bottom line in the desperate situation of the clan leader being imprisoned and themselves being forced into marriage.
"Giving marriage..."
Su Bingyan's voice was slightly hoarse. She thought of those days and nights when she was also forced to get married, and sourness filled her heart.
"Ye Xun!"
Xu Linglong gritted his silver teeth, and the space around him was rippled with chaos, "What on earth does he want to do? Taking away the position of Young Emperor is not enough, but also forcing all Imperial Daughter who were engaged to Heavenly Emperor Son to remarry?! Such behavior is no different from that of an animal!"
Ji Youxuan spit out four words coldly. "His heart can be killed."
Chu Wan'er took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions, and turned to look at Ye Xuan.
Since just now, Ye Xuan has been silent.
There was no expression on that handsome and extraordinary face, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
However, it was this excessive calmness that made Chu Wan'er's heart tighten.
She gently held Ye Xuan's hand.
"Husband."
Her voice was soft, "Sister Xueyao and the others are not writing to make you blame yourself, let alone to ask you to kill Central Region right now. They are reporting that you are safe and telling you that they are still here and waiting for you."
"What we have to do now is not to be carried away by anger, but to calm down, see the situation clearly, and accumulate strength."
She paused, and her tone became gentler, but also more determined. "Ye Xun's intention is indeed vicious. Not only does he want to take away your throne, but he also wants to completely erase all ties between you and Seven Great Imperial Clans.
Betrothal each of the seven Imperial Daughter to the strongest Imperial Son in the four regions, which is both a win-win and a differentiation.
Once the engagement is finalized, Seven Great Imperial Clans will be tied to his War Chariot one by one, and you will be completely helpless."
"But he miscalculated a little."
Chu Wan'er raised his eyes, with a sharp look in his eyes.
"He thinks that Imperial Daughter is just a bargaining chip, a tool for marriage, a chess piece that can be manipulated at will. He doesn't understand that the bond between us and you has never been the decree of the marriage contract, but the friendship that we still chose to follow you 40,000 years ago when Lower Realm was at your lowest. He cannot take away this friendship, and the decree of heaven cannot be erased."
"So, husband."
She held Ye Xuan's hand tightly.
"We still have time. Sister Xue Yao and the others are still fighting. Sister Yeyue has put down the civil strife, so there is no chance of a comeback. And you, you are Young Lord of the Northern Region."
"Northern Region may be weak, but it is already a place for you and me to stand. First, take this place into your palms, and then think about other things."
Ye Xuan slowly raised his eyes.
He looked at Chu Wan'er, and looked at the pair of worried but determined eyes beside him. There was a glimmer of light flashing in the depths of the icy lake in his eyes.
"I know."
He spoke, his voice calm.
He paused, gently held Chu Wan'er's hand, then let go and turned to Xu Kun, who had been waiting quietly.
"Senior, are Xueyao and the others okay at the moment?"
Xu Kun handed over the hand. "Imperial Son Don't worry. Although you Imperial Daughter are in a difficult situation, your lives are not in danger. The Void Imperial Clan and the Burning Heavenly Emperor Clan have profound foundations, and Ye Xun will not force you to force them in the short term. It's just..."
He paused briefly and said in a deep voice, "It's just that the time left for Imperial Son is really running out."
"I am here to deliver a message for one purpose. The other is to convey a definite message to Imperial Son on the orders of Lord Lineage."
"Heavenly Void Palace has been formally formulated, and Blood Prison Trial will be restarted in as little as three years or as quickly as ten years."
Blood Prison Trial!
These four words were like Startling Thunder, exploding in the corridor.
