Although she did not understand why Ye Yu insisted on keeping Xiang Yuansheng by his side,

Huangfu Baizhi figured that there must be a reason for it.

She immediately stepped forward,

releasing the terrifying pressure unique to a transcendent cultivator.

In an instant,

Xiang Yuansheng felt the pressure double.

He looked at Huangfu Baizhi in disbelief.

He had heard that

this queen of the Da Yong Dynasty was once a general who fought a hundred battles,

well-versed in military tactics,

and possessed considerable strength.

But he never expected

she was actually a transcendent cultivator.

Truly, everyone has their own aspirations.

Having reached the transcendent realm, why was she still acting as a queen?

Shouldn't she be focusing on her cultivation, striving to survive the tribulation and ascend to the next level to achieve the Dao?

Why be bound by the mundane world?

Xiang Yuansheng’s face turned ashen.

With a transcendent cultivator watching him,

he did not dare to make any sudden moves.

So, he could only force a smile and say, “Alright, since Your Majesty wants me to stay and watch the show,

then I’ll stay!”

Ye Yu revealed a playful smile,

his hands clasped behind his back as he quietly watched the scene unfold.

Time passed slowly.

The cultivators of the Da Xia Dynasty gradually showed signs of defeat.

Their casualties were continuously increasing.

In contrast, the royal cultivators of the Da Yong Dynasty grew more and more courageous in battle.

Every time they killed an enemy, they would casually decapitate them and collect the heads.

This was a habit they had developed on the battlefield.

Killing earns military merit!

Military merit can be exchanged for everything!

As the number of cultivators gathered around Ning Zhi dwindled,

Xiang Yuansheng felt anxious.

Damn it.

Why hadn’t the powerful cultivator he invited shown up yet?

Could it be that she had backed down?

Just as Xiang Yuansheng was pondering this,

a terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped the area.

In the sky above,

purple clouds filled the air.

Then,

a figure slowly descended.

She wore a purple robe and possessed stunning beauty.

“Who is the Emperor of the Da Yong Dynasty?

Come out and die!”

All the royal cultivators of the Da Yong Dynasty wore difficult expressions.

Why was it that

another terrifying female immortal appeared out of nowhere?

Under this overwhelming spiritual pressure,

they could hardly lift their heads.

Huangfu Baizhi narrowed her eyes slightly.

She looked at the figure ahead,

feeling that this person was also a formidable transcendent cultivator.

Thus, Huangfu Baizhi immediately spoke, “Your Majesty should leave; I will deal with this person.”

Ye Yu remained silent,

but a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Meanwhile, Xiang Yuansheng appeared quite excited.

She was here, she was here—finally!

This was a golden opportunity.

How could he let Ye Yu leave like this?

“Your Majesty, hurry and leave!

You carry the fate of the entire Da Yong Dynasty on your shoulders; you absolutely cannot come to harm!”

He shouted this with all his might,

worried that he wouldn’t attract anyone’s attention.

This action

immediately drew Huangfu Baizhi’s angry glare.

This person was absolutely treacherous!

“Bang!”

Ye Yu kicked Xiang Yuansheng,

irritated as he said, “Why are you shouting so loudly?

My ears are starting to ring!”

“I—I mean well,”

Xiang Yuansheng replied, his gaze evasive.

He then secretly transmitted a message to the newly arrived immortal, “Hurry up and act! What are you waiting for?”

Upon hearing this,

the immortal immediately rushed forward.

Seeing this,

Huangfu Baizhi was about to step up to confront the enemy.

But Ye Yu reached out to stop her.

“No need to meddle!”

With that, Ye Yu strode forward.

Ning Zhi watched this scene unfold, her heart filled with joy.

Was this emperor willingly heading to his death?

The surrounding royal cultivators, forcing themselves despite their discomfort, rushed toward Ye Yu.

They genuinely believed that

Ye Yu was a good emperor.

He absolutely could not die like this.

However,

their speed was far too slow compared to the immortal's!

But none of them expected

that the immortal would directly leap into Ye Yu’s embrace.

She gave him a big hug.

“What are you doing here? You’ve become an emperor?

I have to say, you look really good in that dragon robe!”

“This is something I should be asking you.

Why leave the Central Continent to come to the Northern Wasteland?

Liang Yu!”

Ye Yu’s voice was filled with helplessness.

Indeed,

the external help that Xiang Yuansheng had spent a fortune to invite was none other than Liang Yu, the rogue cultivator from the Central Continent.

Ye Yu felt quite helpless about this woman.

She was determined to become his partner.

At the time, to make her leave temporarily,

Ye Yu had established a tribulation agreement with her.

As long as Liang Yu could successfully break through to the transcendent realm,

then he could consider the matter of becoming partners.

Unexpectedly,

Liang Yu's cultivation speed had been this fast.

It had only been a few months,

and she had successfully broken through to the transcendent realm.

In the dream, her speed had not seemed this quick.

But it was quite interesting.

Upon seeing Liang Yu appear,

Ye Yu couldn’t help but smile.

Because he was certain that Liang Yu would never do him harm.

This woman had ulterior motives toward him;

how could she possibly kill him?

If it weren’t for this,

Ye Yu wouldn’t have been able to come here so at ease.

Hiss!

Wait a minute.

This woman could hug him all she wanted,

but her hands were wandering around.

That was a bit much!

There were still hundreds of people around!

Feigning anger, Ye Yu said, “Let go!

What are you doing? This is improper!”

“Hehe!”

Liang Yu stopped her hands from wandering

and instead wrapped her arms around Ye Yu’s.

She continued, “I came to the Northern Wasteland to gather a dowry.

Someone invited me to come and kill the emperor.

The price was quite high, so I came.

What a coincidence this is, don’t you think, my husband?”

Upon hearing this,

Xiang Yuansheng and Ning Zhi's faces instantly turned pale.

The powerful cultivator they invited to assassinate Ye Yu

actually started calling him ‘husband’?

Wasn’t this just absurd?

“Oh, who invited you to kill me?”

Ye Yu turned to look at Xiang Yuansheng,

his gaze filled with amusement.

Liang Yu released her hands,

flashed forward,

and stood in front of Xiang Yuansheng.

She pointed a finger at him,

immediately sealing off his spiritual energy.

“My husband, it was him who invited me to come kill you.

The reward was a high-grade earth-level technique

and two thousand spirit stones.”

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

The spirit stones didn’t matter,

but a high-grade earth-level technique was extremely rare.

No wonder it could attract Liang Yu to act.

At this moment, Xiang Yuansheng was utterly speechless.

He had found an assassin only to have his partner caught up in it.

If he were to blame someone, he could only blame himself for being blind.

His luck was terrible.

Xiang Yuansheng closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “If you’re going to kill me, just make it quick!”

“Wait a moment.

Let’s complete our transaction first.

You invited me to kill,

but you want me to kill my husband.

I can’t do that.

However, since I’m here, whether I do it or not, you must pay!

Those items are my dowry!”

Liang Yu squinted her eyes slightly,

her killing intent palpable.

Xiang Yuansheng was completely befuddled by this reasoning.

She was already prepared to kill him,

and yet she still wanted to complete the transaction.

This was just too much!

Meanwhile, Huangfu Baizhi looked at Liang Yu in front of her,

her expression changing slightly.
