Chapter 369 The Dragon and Phoenix Protecting the Nation! Tang Huo'er's Scheme! A Stormy E
Xiao Yan's voice echoed across the sky, but there was no sound from the direction of the palace.
The Soul Emperor sneered, then clasped his hands and said loudly, "I am also willing to serve the Great Xia for a hundred years, I only ask that Your Majesty not interfere in this matter!"
He had originally planned to join Chu Yang and take advantage of his position to make his way in the Great Thousand Worlds. Now that he had sacrificed the entire Soul Clan, he naturally had no more scruples.
Now, taking advantage of the situation, he proposed that the only condition he was to ask everyone not to interfere in the matter. In his view, if Tang Huo'er wasn't a fool, she wouldn't have chosen Xiao Yan.
As soon as the Soul Emperor finished speaking, a figure slowly appeared.
Tang Huo'er was dressed in a dragon robe, with dragons and phoenixes swirling around her, exuding majesty. The yin-yang fish phantom behind her head added to her powerful and mysterious aura.
Even when facing two Dou Di, Tang Huo'er, who only had the peak cultivation of Dou Sheng, was still not at a disadvantage!
Both Soul Emperor and Xiao Yan's pupils contracted slightly, because they sensed a threat and pressure emanating from Tang Huo'er.
This Empress of Great Xia, though not yet at the Emperor Realm, already possesses the might of a Dou Di!
"The teacher once said that he would not interfere in your disputes."
Tang Huo'er's lips parted slightly, and her authoritative yet icy voice rang out, "But..."
As she spoke, she gently raised her hand, and a dragon-shaped flame danced in her palm. "Teacher also said that he made a deal with Xiao Yan."
"This deal includes allowing Xiao Yan to gather all the different flames on the continent. As his disciple, I naturally won't stand in my way."
"Xiao Yan, I can lend you this fire, but you'll need to repay it with Imperial Flame. Are you willing?"
Upon hearing her words, the Soul Emperor's expression changed slightly, but he dared not say anything more.
Because he knew very well that his strength was simply not enough to compete with Chu Yang and the Great Xia Dynasty!
Even though Chu Yang is not here now, the Empress of Great Xia is still not someone to be offended.
Xiao Yan let out a long sigh of relief, then cupped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "This was originally an agreement between me and Emperor Chu, and I will naturally abide by it!"
"Your Majesty's willingness to lend me fire in this time of crisis is a kindness I will never forget, and my promise still stands!"
Tang Huo'er glanced at him, not paying much attention to the so-called promise, and threw out the primordial fire of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire.
Freed from her restraints, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire sensed Xiao Yan's call and immediately merged into his body.
At the same time, the flames around Xiao Yan were no longer colorful, but instantly transformed into dazzling, multicolored imperial flames, and his aura also rose steadily.
"How you fight is none of my business, but if it affects Great Xia, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Tang Huo'er glanced coldly at the two of them, then vanished in a flash.
Xiao Yan's robes billowed as he stared at the Soul Emperor, coldly saying, "Soul Emperor, I'll be waiting for you a hundred miles away!"
After saying that, his figure transformed into a streak of light and flew away.
The Soul Emperor clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and muttered, "It's just one more strange fire. I'll see how much trouble you can cause!"
…………
The Great Xia Imperial Palace, the Empress's bedroom.
The moment Tang Huo'er appeared in the palace, her original dignified demeanor vanished, and she stumbled slightly.
Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun, who were already there, quickly stepped forward to help her up.
After stabilizing her breathing, Tang Huo'er turned to look behind her.
Two beautiful figures were sitting weakly on the ground, managing to force a smile at her.
Tang Huo'er took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your hard work..."
Zi Yan glanced at Feng Qing'er beside her and sneered, "If it weren't for her dragging His Majesty down, why would His Majesty have had to expend so much energy?"
Feng Qing'er's almond-shaped eyes widened. "If I had absorbed that Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit back then, I would definitely have broken through to the Emperor Realm by now!"
"There's no need for Your Majesty to intervene; I will personally intimidate the Soul Emperor and Xiao Yan!"
Zi Yan curled her lip and said, "Aren't you afraid of exaggerating to the point of collapse? There's no Origin Qi on the Dou Qi Continent. How are you going to break through to Dou Di?"
Tang Huo'er, helped by Nalan Yanran, sat on the bed and rubbed her temples wearily. "Enough! The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan have put aside their grudges, so why are you still arguing all the time?"
Nalan Yanran looked at Feng Qing'er with a smile, "Little Phoenix, why are you still as willful and arrogant as before?"
Upon hearing her words, Feng Qing'er seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, her delicate body trembled violently, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to utter a sound.
The reason why Feng Qing'er and Zi Yan are here is because they have become the guardian dragons and phoenixes of the Great Xia Dynasty and have formed a blood connection with Tang Huo'er.
The method of bloodline connection originates from the vast world and is similar to an unequal master-servant contract.
Once a bloodline bond is established, if the dominant party dies, the other party will also perish.
However, if the weaker party dies, the dominant party will only suffer a severe blow, and it will not have a significant impact.
The method of bloodline connection was obtained by Chu Yang from the spiritual consciousness of Pangu, and he taught it to Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er respectively. As for whether they would connect with Tang Huo'er, it was entirely up to them to choose.
In retrospect, both of them have made the right decision.
Zi Yan was naturally the best choice among the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, but the reason why Feng Qing'er was chosen from the Tianyao Phoenix Clan was partly because she possessed the bloodline of the ancient Tianfeng.
On the other hand, there are really not many outstanding young people in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.
Although Feng Qing'er had some flaws in character, she has now corrected her bad habits after being "trained" by Nalan Yanran.
Although Tang Huo'er possessed a pure heart, comprehended the true meaning of Tai Chi, and even reached the peak of Dou Sheng, there was still an insurmountable gap between Dou Sheng and Dou Di.
The reason she was able to display the aura of a Dou Di level, and even make Hun Tiandi and Xiao Yan feel pressured, was because she borrowed the power of Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er's origin through bloodline connection.
With the support of the two fundamental sources, Tang Huo'er's strength rose to the Dou Di level in a short period of time.
However, relying on external forces is ultimately just a paper tiger. If a fight breaks out, it won't last long before she "shows her true colors."
"Why bother? Even if Junior Brother isn't here, I doubt that Soul Emperor would dare to lay a hand on you!"
Nalan Yanran took out a pill and handed it to Tang Huo'er, her face full of heartache.
Their relationship has grown increasingly warm, and they have now become inseparable best friends. Even Yun Yun has put aside her elder's airs and become one of them.
Tang Huo'er shook her head and said, "We can't always hide behind our teacher. Besides, the Soul Emperor is tyrannical and eccentric. If he were to act recklessly, the entire Great Xia Dynasty would be in danger, and even the Yunlan Sect would be affected."
Yun Yun snorted coldly and said, "If he dares to attack Great Xia, although we haven't broken through to the Emperor Realm yet, if we add Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong along, it will be enough to make that Soul Emperor suffer a terrible fate!"
"Your Majesty, what about Xiao Yan..." Zi Yan asked tentatively.
Of all the people present, she and Xiao Yan were the closest, having gone through life and death together many times.
On the contrary, as Yun Yun's viewing experience gradually increased, her thinking became more open and progressive, and she had long since let go of what happened in the Monster Mountain Range.
Tang Huo'er thought for a moment, then said, "Let's stall him for now and wait for the teacher to come back and make a decision."
"The teacher's attitude towards Xiao Yan is somewhat special. He must have other plans for Xiao Yan, so I won't rashly try to win him over."
Zi Yan nodded gently and said nothing more.
"Indeed, it seems our Great Xia Empress has developed the demeanor of someone who can stand alone!"
A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and the expressions of the five women present all jolted.
Chu Yang's figure appeared, and everyone's faces showed a hint of surprise.
"Teacher!" Tang Huo'er stood up abruptly, but due to excessive exertion, her body swayed slightly and she fell back down.
Chu Yang flashed and appeared in front of Tang Huo'er, placing his hand on her shoulder and channeling his Origin Qi into her body through his palm.
"Junior Brother!" Nalan Yanran threw herself into Chu Yang's arms without saying a word, her eyes red-rimmed, and said, "I thought you had secretly run off to the Great Thousand World by yourself!"
Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled. After Nalan Yanran calmed down, he looked at Tang Huo'er and asked, "Why didn't I see Zhu Li and Qi You?"
Tang Huo'er said softly, "They went to the Sound Valley and are currently in seclusion, breaking through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm."
"So fast?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.
When he left, he left behind some genetic reagents and granted Black Tower access to the technology related to the fourth-generation peak beast body.
Whether it's Zhu Li and Qi You, or Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er, they have all undoubtedly upgraded to the peak fourth-generation beast bodies and been injected with gene reagents.
Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er were already quite talented and had powerful bloodlines. With the added benefits of their genes and beast bodies, it was within Chu Yang's expectations that they could both reach the peak of Dou Sheng within three years.
The rapid progress of Ke Zhuli and Qi You was beyond his expectations.
Yun Yun smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Senior Yin Di that we've been helped. It's not just the two Dragon Kings; now, the Great Xia and Yunlan Sects combined have over a hundred peak Dou Sheng experts!"
Hearing her say that, Chu Yang suddenly understood.
Mu Tianyin is a spirit of a plane, and it is not difficult for her to gather energy on a large scale, or even obtain some rare and precious materials.
However, this would also exacerbate the energy consumption of the Dou Qi Continent. It must be said that Mu Tianyin has great courage and absolute trust in him.
After all, if Chu Yang fails to open up a dimensional passage, the Dou Qi Continent will be completely depleted of energy.
"Teacher, about Xiao Yan..."
Tang Huo'er was about to say something when Chu Yang raised his hand to interrupt her, "I already know about this, but I'm sure Xiao Yan can guess that you did this on purpose."
"If we take the opportunity to recruit him into the Great Xia, he will inevitably harbor resentment."
"Why not let this matter rest, and after his battle with the Soul Emperor is over, then offer him some help as a favor, making him owe you a big debt of gratitude."
Xiao Yan broke through to the Dou Di realm using the Burning Flame Technique and the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, enabling him to control all the different flames on the Dou Qi Continent.
This is also his greatest asset: the Emperor Flame, formed from twenty-two different kinds of strange flames. Although it requires a great price, it is enough to deal with the Soul Emperor.
But why couldn't Xiao Yan control the Nine Dragons Thunderfire?
Chu Yang knew without a doubt that Tang Huo'er must have secretly tampered with the Nine Dragons Thunderfire and sealed it.
What he could think of, Xiao Yan could naturally think of as well.
Previously, when borrowing fire on the border of the Great Xia, they even offered Tang Huo'er the condition of serving for a hundred years, which was already giving Tang Huo'er enough face.
Tang Huo'er nodded. She never questioned Chu Yang's words, but she couldn't help feeling a little down.
Just as Chu Yang had guessed, it was all part of her scheme.
Locking up the Nine Dragons Thunderfire prevented Xiao Yan from achieving the Emperor Flame, thus rendering him no match for the Soul Emperor. Then, at a critical moment, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire was released.
From the perspective of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xiao Yan is an exceptional genius who will not be forgotten in the future when he arrives in the Great Thousand World.
If the Great Xia Dynasty can secure this powerful ally, it will become much easier for it to quickly establish itself in the Great Thousand Realms.
However, because she was not quite clear about Chu Yang's attitude towards Xiao Yan, Tang Huo'er did not give a clear answer to the conditions Xiao Yan offered.
Seeing through her thoughts, Chu Yang smiled and said, "You did a great job, and it was very effective. It wasn't a wasted effort."
"For someone like Xiao Yan, the hardest thing to repay is a favor."
"You have no shortage of capable men under your command; what you lack is a strong leader who can stabilize the situation."
"With this favor in hand, Xiao Yan will certainly not stand idly by when the Great Xia Dynasty is in need."
Upon hearing his words, Tang Huo'er understood his intention. A hint of admiration appeared in her beautiful eyes, along with the uncontrollable worship she felt whenever she saw Chu Yang.
However, she had some doubts. Chu Yang hadn't had much contact with Xiao Yan, so why did he know so much about him?
"Immediately summon all Dou Sheng experts. I will open a dimensional portal above the palace."
Chu Yang said softly, "Whether or not one is willing to enter the Great Thousand World is entirely up to personal choice. Those who wish to stay will be responsible for guarding the Imperial Palace."
"So soon?" Nalan Yanran seemed a little uninterested.
Chu Yang had been gone for three years, and now that he had finally returned, he was in a hurry to open up a dimensional portal.
She knew very well that once the interdimensional portal was established, everyone would go their separate ways after entering the Great Thousand World, and it would be difficult for them to reunite in a short period of time.
Chu Yang said irritably, "Do you really think Mu Tianyin helped so many people reach the peak of Dou Sheng cultivation without any cost?"
"This process consumes the very foundation of the Dou Qi Continent, not to mention that my seclusion this time has also caused a great loss."
"If we don't connect to the Great Thousand Worlds soon, the Dou Qi Continent will run out of energy in at most a year."
"However, opening up dimensional portals does not require my personal involvement at all times. During this period, I will remain in the palace."
Nalan Yanran's eyes lit up, and Tang Huo'er's expression also brightened. She quickly asked, "How long will it take?"
Chu Yang thought for a moment and gave a conservative estimate: "It will take at least three months and at most half a year."
If it's just about bringing people into the Great Thousand Worlds, it wouldn't actually take that long.
However, he plans to build an absolutely stable interdimensional passage that would allow people to travel freely between the two worlds, thus solving the problem once and for all, which will take some time.
The Great Xia Dynasty and the Yunlan Sect had long been planning their advance into the Great Thousand Worlds, and the experts at the Dou Sheng realm were almost always in preparation.
With Tang Huo'er and Xiao Xiao's order, regardless of their location, what they were doing, or even the powerful figures in seclusion, all rushed to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty immediately.
This event caused quite a stir on the mainland. Anyone with eyes to see could see that this meant the Dou Qi world was about to connect with the Great Thousand World! (End of Chapter)
