"North Profound Heaven... Imperial Husband!"

Tang Yu was stunned.

He had imagined that the person inside the Jade Carriage must be a great figure.

But he never expected it to be the Mysterious Ice Empress's man.

This was a truly extraordinary Paramount Figure!

What had Lan Yun Guo done to deserve the Imperial Husband descending here?

Still, Tang Yu didn't think Wu Jingxian was lying.

Lin Xuan's temperament and demeanor were peerlessly rare; only a lofty Lord of a Sky could possess such transcendent grace.

Thinking of this, Tang Yu, filled with excitement and reverence, strode forward and bowed respectfully before Lin Xuan:

"Tang Yu of Lan Yun Guo pays respects to North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband!"

To avoid offending Lin Xuan, Tang Yu deliberately omitted his title as King.

Lin Xuan slightly nodded.

Looking at Tang Yu's face, he didn't seem like a usurper, but rather had the air of a mediocre monarch.

A man like this, whose ability didn't match his position—no wonder Lan Yun Guo had been bullied into this state by the Blazing Flame Tribe.

Nearby, Bahlin, Mu Ge, and the thousand-strong Blazing Flame Tribe were all watching Lin Xuan nervously.

North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband.

Just those five words swept away their earlier arrogance.

In its place was a tension they couldn't hide.

Such a great figure descending on Lan Yun Guo Imperial Palace—the meaning was clear: he was here to take charge for Lan Yun Guo.

With his backing, whether the entire Blazing Flame Tribe would survive was uncertain!

After exchanging glances, Bahlin mustered his courage, stepped forward, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed to Lin Xuan:

"Bahlin of Blazing Flame Tribe pays respects to North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband!"

Mu Ge and the other warriors all bowed together: "Pay respects to North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband!"

They were all fierce and burly, yet before Lin Xuan, they didn't even dare breathe loudly.

Even the Demonic Beasts following them lowered their heads, cowering under an inexplicable pressure.

Seeing this, the Palace guards felt a surge of excitement in their hearts.

"The North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband shows up, says nothing, and those Blazing Flame Tribe bastards are scared shitless—it's so satisfying!"

"With the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband here, Lan Yun Guo is finally turning things around!"

"The Imperial Husband... he truly makes us look up to him!"

The guards whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with deep reverence and awe.

"Imperial Husband, please!"

Tang Yu quickly led Lin Xuan and the children into the great hall.

And Lin Xuan and the children's seats were, without question, Tang Yu's Golden Dragon Throne.

The four little girls sat on the Golden Dragon Throne for the first time, curiously examining everything around them.

Seeing the armrests were both Golden Dragon Heads, Xuan Xi and Xuan You directly straddled them, grinning.

"Daddy, Daddy, look! We're riding dragons!"

Lin Xuan looked at them with doting eyes: "Is it fun?"

"So much fun!" the two little girls giggled uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Xuan Zhu and Xuan Han stood on the Dragon Throne, touching it all over, murmuring nonstop.

"This chair is really interesting, but it's much smaller than Mother's chair."

"Yeah, and Mother's chair is icy, while this one is warm."

Hearing this, Tang Yu and the others below revealed a hint of awe.

No wonder—these were the daughters of the North Profound Heaven Lord; their insight was extraordinary!

Tang Yu stepped forward with a smile: "Little princesses, how could my chair compare to Her Majesty the Empress's?"

"But if you like it, feel free to play with it as you wish!"

The four little girls nodded all together, which put Tang Yu at ease.

He could see it now: Lin Xuan doted on his four treasure daughters immensely.

As long as they liked it here, Lin Xuan would surely help him escape his predicament.

Then.

Tang Yu said solemnly, "Venerable Imperial Husband, we beseech you to uphold justice for our Lan Yun Guo."

"As long as the Blazing Flame Tribe ceases its incursions into our country, I am willing to coexist with them in lasting peace and open trade routes!"

Lin Xuan cast a sardonic glance at Tang Yu:

"You may be willing to live in peace, but to others, that might well be seen as cowardice."

Bahlin, who had just mustered the courage to step into the great hall, felt his legs stiffen at those words.

Lin Xuan's remark made him draw a sharp, inward breath.

"Could it be that the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband intends to wage war on our Blazing Flame Tribe?"

Bahlin nervously lifted his head to look at Lin Xuan on the Golden Dragon Throne, terror filling his eyes.

If the North Profound Heaven made a move, the Blazing Flame Tribe would likely vanish into thin air in the blink of an eye.

Thinking of this, Bahlin hurried forward and bowed: "The Imperial Husband's words are too harsh!"

"Our Blazing Flame Tribe is absolutely willing to live in peace with Lan Yun Guo, from now on keeping as clear as well water and river water!"

Tang Yu stared at Bahlin in astonishment.

He never expected that Bahlin, who had been so imposing just half an incense stick ago, would voluntarily say such things.

So this... this was the might of the Imperial Husband.

Lin Xuan said leisurely, "Your Blazing Flame Tribe delights in bullying the weak and seizing every resource; aggression runs in your blood."

"I've heard that over the years you've occupied many places and killed many people. What reason do I have to trust you?"

Whoosh—

Lin Xuan deliberately controlled his aura, shielding the Four Little Treasures, and released it within the hall.

A terrifying Emperor Realm Pressure, like a colossal mountain crashing down from the nine heavens, suddenly pressed down on the top of everyone's heads.

Tang Yu, Bahlin, and the rest felt their hearts seize.

The inexplicable, dreadful pressure nearly made it impossible for them to breathe.

Bahlin stammered, "I am willing to swear by the God of Blazing Flames that I will keep my word!"

"Not only that, but all the resources plundered from Lan Yun Guo over the years will be fully returned by our tribe!"

"Furthermore, we are willing to relocate seven thousand li northward, far from Lan Yun Guo's borders!"

He was so utterly panicked that he blurted out so many compensation terms in one breath.

He believed that if his brother Bahetu were present, he would say the same.

It was simply because Lin Xuan's Emperor Realm aura was so terrifying that he felt as insignificant as an ant.

"I'll give you three days. If you fail..." Lin Xuan smiled faintly, the implication clear.

"Rest assured, Venerable North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband, we can manage it within a day at most!" Bahlin said hastily.

Lin Xuan slightly nodded.

With things pushed to this point, he trusted the Blazing Flame Tribe wouldn't dare act recklessly.

Let all of today be a gift of peace and tranquility to the country where he once lived.

Having received Lin Xuan's approval, Bahlin quickly turned and left the hall.

Stealthily wiping the cold sweat from his brow, Bahlin lamented bitterly in his heart:

"Mother, what an unlucky year—how could I run into such a terrifying big figure?"

Taking a deep breath, he hurriedly called for Mu Ge and the others to leave.

Once outside the palace gates, Mu Ge couldn't help asking, "Vice Leader, the terms you offered just now were so many—can we really manage them in one day?"

"Even if we can't, we must!" Bahlin said with firm resolve.

"Even if my brother were here, he'd say the same!"

"After all, before the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband, I have no room to bargain!"

"Better to offer it myself than wait for him to speak. Even if the conditions are harsher, they must be fulfilled—that's the proper attitude when facing a big figure!"

Mu Ge and the others listened and silently nodded.

Today, they finally understood just how far a single person's authority could push others.

Thank you to Hope for Tomorrow's 500 reward!!!!
