Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Originally, there was a thin veil separating Qu Wubing and Yao Zitong, but after this incident, they broke through that veil and successfully got together.

Yao Zitong stayed by the side of the injured Qu Wubing every day, taking care of him.

Xu Chu ended up eating a lot of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

However, the two Great Saint Realm cultivators, one tall and one short, who ambushed them, dared to commit violence near Ascension City; such an act is unforgivable.

Xu Qingzhou only noticed them by unintentionally spreading his divine sense; if it had been any later, Qu Wubing and Yao Zitong might have actually committed suicide together.

At that moment, Xu Qingzhou used his Law Domain to freeze everything, instantly killing the two of them while also searching their souls.

They came from a dominant force in the mountainous continent. The powerful members of this force often went to other continents to do similar things, and they were truly heinous.

Knowing that Shengxian City had been bustling with people in recent years, the two harbored malicious intentions.

They decided to ambush and kill some Saint Realm cultivators near Shengxian City amidst the chaos.

Because the location they chose was too close to Ascension City, many cultivators felt that it was still within the territory of Ascension City and would be very safe, so they lowered their guard and gave them an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

In addition, they are strong enough and well-prepared.

So before this, they had succeeded five times, killing Saint Realm cultivators all of them.

If they were only committing crimes near Shengxian City, then Xu Qingzhou could have simply killed them and that would have been the end of it.

But since they even targeted the Xu family, this matter cannot end so simply.

Xu Qingzhou directly summoned the Hidden Dragon Guards and led them to Shanzhou to destroy this dominant force.

This force had two Saint King level experts, and Xu Qingzhou left them with intact corpses.

It wasn't out of kindness; they took the body back to Shengxian City, hung it on the city gate overnight, and posted details on the wall next to it.

The reason for doing this is to make an example of someone, to let the world know how high the price is for doing bad things in Ascension City.

Early the next morning.

People passing by noticed the two corpses, and some were even frightened.

"Holy crap! I looked up and saw these two corpses, it scared the hell out of me!"

"What's going on? This has never happened before since the founding of Ascension City!"

"There's an explanation nearby: they were ambushing and killing Saint Realm cultivators traveling near Ascension City!"

"The Xu family is truly ruthless; they actually went straight to Shanzhou and wiped out this force!"

"Hiss! These are actually two Saint King Realm experts!!"

"I never expected that my first encounter with a Saint King would be like this."

"Well done, Xu family! That's exactly what we should do!"

The reason why Ascension City can attract so many cultivators and forces is because people believe that it is the safest place in Cangzhou.

Someone ambushed and killed cultivators here, which means that the most fundamental advantage and characteristic of Ascension City has been affected.

The Xu family naturally had to strike hard.

After this incident, the safety level of Shengxian City and its surrounding areas soared again, and no one dared to act recklessly.

.....

After Qu Wubing and Yao Zitong finally confessed their feelings, they spent all their time together.

However, they didn't spend their time talking about love or sightseeing. Most of their time was spent discussing and exchanging ideas about cultivation, and sometimes they would even try it out.

Half a year passed in this way, and Qu Wubing was about to return to the Holy City, after all, he was still the city lord of the Holy City.

I originally planned to come for six months and then go back, but because of Yao Zitong, I postponed it for a few months. Now it's time to go back.

Yao Zitong wasn't one to fuss over things, and after parting ways with Qu Wubing, she went straight back to the Jiuli Dynasty.

Just then, her father, the Nine Li Divine Emperor, finished his seclusion, so Yao Zitong went to find him. She felt that although her father's injuries had healed, he seemed to have aged a little more than before.

"Father, I have already been to Ascension City."

Mentioning Ascension City, Emperor Jiuli subconsciously frowned. His cultivation had gone wrong this time because the pressure from the Great Qian Dynasty was too great.

"how?"

Yao Zitong recounted everything she had seen and heard without leaving out a single detail.

After listening, the Nine Li Divine Emperor remained silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Ah, in your opinion, what should my Nine Li Dynasty do?"

Yao Zitong paused slightly before revealing her true thoughts.

"Your subject believes that rather than waiting for our Jiuli people to slowly dwindle and for the Great Qian to gradually devour us, it would be better to hand over the dynasty to us sooner. This would not only preserve our family but also allow the people to live a peaceful life sooner."

Why are there so many cultivators and forces in Ascension City? They all came from all over Cangzhou. The Nine Li Dynasty also has many cultivators and forces that have moved there or are preparing to move there.

Therefore, if things continue like this, the gradual decline of the Jiuli Dynasty is inevitable.

The Nine Li God Emperor especially loved Yao Zitong, and even considered making her the crown prince more than once.

Therefore, if anyone else had said such a thing, the Nine Li God Emperor would definitely have been angry.

Because he couldn't accept it. After all, the Jiuli Dynasty had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years and had gone through several divine emperors. If it were to end like this in his generation, how could he explain it to his ancestors?

The intelligent Yao Zitong understood her father's concerns and thoughts.

"Father, you must know the current strength of the Xu family and Daqian. The reason you are still persisting is simply because you are hoping that Daqian will not take the initiative to attack us."

"You need to know what price we'll pay if we lose the bet."

If they surrendered, at least the Yao family would still exist. If they lost the gamble, not only would the Jiuli Dynasty cease to exist, but the Yao family would most likely also disappear, eventually fading into obscurity and becoming just another piece of history.

"Cough cough," the Nine Li God Emperor's breath hitched, because his daughter had seen through his thoughts.

Yao Zitong knew that her father would not be able to accept it in a short time, so she did not continue to talk about it, but changed the subject.

"During this trip, I also met someone I admire."

Upon hearing this, the Nine Li Divine Emperor, who had been frowning and keeping his head down in silence, raised his head and looked at her with a joyful expression.

"Oh? Who is it?"

He knew that his daughter had always had high standards and had met many outstanding young men over the years, but she had not chosen any of them.

Yao Zitong replied, "I don't know if you remember, he was also on the list of geniuses back then, named Qu Wubing."

"Qu Wubing? The current Lord of the Holy City, Qu Wubing?" Emperor Jiuli asked in surprise, even somewhat excited.

Yao Zitong nodded, a soft light flashing in her eyes.

"Ha ha ha ha."

The Nine Li Divine Emperor burst into laughter, stroking his beard with one hand and patting the chair with the other.

"Okay, okay!!"

The eunuch standing to the side, who had his head bowed, was astonished. He hadn't seen the Emperor's face light up with such a radiant smile in a long time.

Judging from his laughter, it was genuine joy.
