In the Lower Realm, outside Lan Yun Guo.
Four Azure Winged Flying Birds pulled a massive, luxurious Jade Carriage as it rapidly flew toward Lan Yun Guo.
Wherever it passed, countless people stopped to stare.
"An Azure Winged Flying Bird Jade Carriage—that's a jade carriage from the North Profound Heaven Imperial Palace!"
"First the Mysterious Ice Imperial Carriage, now the Flying Bird Jade Carriage—why are members of the North Profound Heaven Imperial Family appearing in the Lower Realm one after another?"
"We're all mere mortals of the Lower Realm—how could we presume to guess at such things!"
"To ride in such a lavish and noble carriage—truly enviable!"
As the Jade Carriage entered the skies above Lan Yun Guo.
Many couldn't help but speculate that the person inside this carriage seemed to have some unseen connection to Lan Yun Guo.
At that moment.
Also outside Lan Yun Guo, a thousand li beyond the border.
A cavalry force of over a thousand men was rapidly advancing toward Lan Yun Guo.
They could be seen riding fierce, towering Black Mane Tiger Beasts.
All of them wore Scale Armor and Animal Hide, with massive heavy black iron plates strapped to their chests and backs.
Each wielded heavy weapons, riding their tiger beasts with a menacing air, their Sha Qi overflowing.
When they appeared, the residents living outside Lan Yun Guo's border all wore looks of terror.
Because these men were the most ferocious existence within a hundred thousand li of Lan Yun Guo's border.
The warriors of the Blazing Flame Tribe!
The Blazing Flame Tribe, numbering three million people, were born fierce and skilled in battle, adept at taming demon beasts.
Wherever they went, corpses littered the fields and blood flowed like rivers.
Burning, killing, looting—they stopped at nothing!
Not only the scattered residents outside Lan Yun Guo, but even the people of Lan Yun Guo itself feared them like the Death God.
After seeing the Azure Winged Flying Bird Jade Carriage enter the skies above Lan Yun Guo.
The three leading knights of the Blazing Flame Tribe all slowed their pace, and the entire force followed suit.
They raised their heads to glance at the Jade Carriage.
The big man on the left, with a bushy beard, said, "Could that Jade Carriage really be heading toward Lan Yun Guo?"
His name was Mu Ge, one of the Blazing Flame Tribe's ten great warriors.
Beside him, the man in the middle wore two black skulls hanging from his ears.
He was Bahlin, the younger brother of Bahetu, the Blazing Flame Tribe Leader.
He let out a scornful laugh. "Lan Yun Guo is just a small country in our Eastern Wasteland—how could it possibly have the qualifications to form ties with someone from North Profound Heaven!"
As they spoke, the Jade Carriage had already vanished from everyone's sight.
Because the distance was too great, they couldn't tell whether the Jade Carriage had landed within Lan Yun Guo's borders or had already left.
Mu Ge and another warrior exchanged glances, pondered for a moment, and then both nodded.
"He's right. If Lan Yun Guo had the backing of the North Profound Heaven Imperial Family, how could they let our Blazing Flame Tribe push them around like cowards?"
Bahlin sneered coldly. "Exactly."
"Today, when we head to Lan Yun Guo, we must make them cede more land and pay more tribute."
"Silk, jewels, beauties—our Blazing Flame Tribe wants it all!"
"If that useless King, Tang Yu, dares to refuse, then we'll make the Blazing Flame Tribe's war horn echo through every corner of Lan Yun Guo!"
Mu Ge and the others all flashed proud smiles. "Good!"
Lan Yun Guo, Imperial Palace.
King Tang Yu sat on his throne, his face full of worry.
"Alas!"
With a heavy sigh, Tang Yu helplessly raised his head to look at the heavens.
"I, Tang Yu, today will not only fail my Ancestor Emperors, but also fail the people of this realm!"
Over the past year, the Blazing Flame Tribe had grown at an unimaginable speed.
They waged war ferociously, constantly swallowing up the surrounding small tribes, and then set their sights on the prosperous Lan Yun Guo.
This past year, Lan Yun Guo's army had fought over a hundred battles, large and small, with the Blazing Flame Tribe.
Of those, seven or eight out of ten were won by the Blazing Flame Tribe.
Not only did it greatly boost the morale of the Blazing Flame Tribe, it also caused the morale of Lan Yun Guo's three armies to plummet.
Lan Yun Guo was now powerless to deal with the fierce and overbearing Blazing Flame Tribe.
To preserve the nation, Tang Yu was forced to sue for peace with the Blazing Flame Tribe.
Today, the Vice Leader of the Blazing Flame Tribe, Bahlin, would come to Lan Yun Guo to present their terms.
Even as dull as Tang Yu was, he knew they would make exorbitant demands.
He feared that once this negotiation was over, Lan Yun Guo's days would only get harder!
Thinking of this, Tang Yu shook his head repeatedly, a glint of humiliated and indignant tears even welling up in his eyes.
"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"
Just then, Prime Minister Wu Jingxian hurried into the great hall.
Seeing his panicked expression, Tang Yu's heart clenched. Could it be that Bahlin and his men had arrived?
"What is it?" Tang Yu forced down his panic.
Wu Jingxian swallowed and said, "Just now, a Jade Carriage from the North Profound Heaven Imperial Family landed in our Lan Yun Guo."
"Your servant suspects that an extremely honored Big Figure has descended!"
"Why would someone from the North Profound Heaven Imperial Family come to our Lan Yun Guo?" Tang Yu's face was full of a Shocked Expression, a mix of flattery and surprise.
"Your servant has already sent people to investigate this matter," Wu Jingxian said.
"What's there to investigate?" Tang Yu stood up excitedly, slapping the Dragon Throne.
"Gu is waiting for Bahlin and his men. You go in Gu's stead to where the Jade Carriage landed!"
"No matter who the visitor is, you must treat them with the rites of state!"
"If you can invite them to the palace, Gu will enfeoff you as a Duke!"
Hearing this, Wu Jingxian felt a surge of excitement and quickly replied, "Yes, your servant will go at once!"
Watching him leave in a hurry, Tang Yu looked up to the heavens.
"I hope the heavens have eyes and can let this unknown Big Figure save my Lan Yun Guo from Water and Fire!"
Lan Yun Guo, Xiang Cheng.
The Azure Winged Flying Bird Jade Carriage came to a stop on a secluded patch of grassland.
Even so, it still drew close attention from many people.
However, these people only dared to watch from afar, not daring to approach.
In their eyes, the person inside the Jade Carriage must be an extremely honored Big Figure from the Jiutian Immortal Domain.
If their rudeness angered the Big Figure inside the carriage, even the entire Lan Yun Guo might not be enough to appease them.
Thus, a strange sight unfolded.
Within a one-li radius of the Azure Winged Flying Bird Jade Carriage, no one dared to come near!
Lin Xuan was sitting inside the carriage with his Four Daughters.
Seeing that they had landed, Lin Xuan picked up his Four Daughters, formed a Dao Method seal, and silently left the Jade Carriage.
Lin Family Courtyard.
Lin Xuan landed in the courtyard with the Children.
Looking around, after being away for a while, everything at home was still the same.
"Young Master!"
Zhao Wan Fu saw Lin Xuan standing in the courtyard and immediately came out to greet him with a delighted expression.
He looked at the Four little girls with fondness in his eyes: "The Four Little Princesses are getting cuter and cuter!"
Xuan Zhu and the others quickly bowed to him: "Hello, Grandpa Fu!"
Hearing this, Zhao Wan Fu was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
He never imagined that the daughters of the North Profound Heaven Empress would actually call him Grandpa.
If Old Zhao's Ancestor knew about this, green smoke would surely rise from the ancestral grave.
Raising his head to look at Lin Xuan, Zhao Wan Fu was filled with emotion.
If he hadn't devoted himself wholeheartedly to following and taking care of Lin Xuan, how could he have earned such a title from the Children!
"Young Master, I guessed you might come home today, so I've already prepared a meal."
Zhao Wan Fu extended his hand respectfully: "Young Master, please go inside. After we eat, we'll go to the Old Master's grave."
Lin Xuan nodded. Today was the Qingming Festival.
The reason he had come back was to sweep his father's grave.
