Baiyun Ancient City.
A black mass of Steel Cavalry appeared.
All the cultivators in the entire Baiyun Ancient City felt inexplicably flustered.
These cavalrymen were different from the others. Their mounts were not horses, but extremely powerful ancient beasts.
It was like a lion but had three tails. It was a three-tailed blood lion, a rare demonic beast that was extremely ferocious. Once it reached adulthood, it would be able to fight with Golden Core realm cultivators.
Such ferocious beasts were rarely seen, but the tens of thousands of cavalry were all such ferocious beasts.
The man in the lead was even more terrifying. He was not riding a blood lion, but a qilin-like demonic beast.
He was stepping on flames and his body was covered in purple scales. He was thirty feet tall and his eyes were as big as lamps. Just one look at him would make one shudder.
However, what was more terrifying was not that, but the war flags behind them.
"Great Xia Dynasty"
"Mighty"
There were two war flags, one embroidered with a dragon pattern and the other with a black python.
They represented the Mighty Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty.
That was a huge existence. How could they not be shocked?
Baiyun Ancient City could only be considered an ordinary ancient city in Qingzhou, which was considered an ordinary existence in Jin Nation.
Jin Nation was considered the weakest among the Ten Nations.
The Great Xia Dynasty was an existence that ruled over the Ten Nations. The Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty was a top figure.
He could destroy Baiyun Ancient City with a single thought.
All of a sudden, the City Lord of Baiyun Ancient City scurried over in a panic. He was an early-stage Golden Core realm cultivator, but he couldn't help but feel terrified when facing the existence of a qilin-like mount.
As a Golden Core realm cultivator, he knew what kind of demonic beast it was.
The purple jade Qilin was not a real qilin, but it had part of its bloodline and could be considered a semi-divine beast.
Before it reached adulthood, the purple jade Qilin could kill Golden Core realm cultivators at will.
How terrifying would the person who could ride the purple jade Qilin be?
He swallowed his saliva and raised his head slightly to look at the man on the purple jade Qilin.
It was a young man who seemed to be in his early thirties. He looked extremely valiant and there was a supreme majesty between his brows. He seemed to be in command of the world with every move he made.
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
The City Lord of Baiyun Ancient City knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation. Even in the face of the special envoy of Jin Nation, he wouldn't kneel.
However, the Mighty Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty was too outrageous.
"Where is the Qingyun Dao Sect?"
An indifferent voice sounded from the Purple Jade Qilin.
As the voice rang out, the City Lord of Baiyun Ancient City was a little stunned.
Qingyun Dao Sect?
Which sect was it?
He frowned and pondered. Soon, he thought of something.
However, before he could say anything, the man on the Purple Jade Qilin suddenly spoke.
"Got it."
An indifferent voice sounded. Then, the Purple Jade Qilin led the army out of Baiyun Ancient City.
After they left, the cultivators in Baiyun Ancient City were still in a daze for a long time.
When had they ever seen such a stance? The majesty of the dynasty was instantly imprinted in their hearts, and they would never be able to erase it in this lifetime.
At the same time.
Qingyun Dao Sect.
The sounds of knocking continuously filled the Qingyun Dao Sect and Daoist Tai Hua's voice did not stop.
Daoist Tai Hua did not suddenly rebuild the Qingyun Dao Sect on a whim. He did have that idea before, but later on, he wanted to save money. However, Ye Ping had already joined the Jin Nation Academy.
He even brought two friends back. Regardless of whether they were disciples of the Jin Nation Academy or not, Ye Ping was a genius and his friends were naturally geniuses too. However, Da Xu and Xia Qingmo were exceptions.
However, no matter what, Ye Ping would definitely bring many friends to the sect in the future.
If the sect was in tatters, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Hence, they simply renovated it and built a few new residences, lest there would be no place for guests to stay when they came in the future.
On the front cliff.
Ye Ping, Da Xu, Xia Qingmo, Xu Luochen, Chen Lingrou, and the others quietly watched the craftsmen renovate.
In Ye Ping's opinion, there was no need to renovate the sect and making it simpler would be in line with the Great Dao.
However, Xu Luochen and Chen Lingrou were very excited. After all, they were not only renovating the sect this time, but also building a new house. Hence, they were naturally excited. Hence, they personally checked on it, lest the group of craftsmen cut corners.
On the cliff, Da Xu was a little curious.
'Is there a need to hire so many craftsmen to build a house? ' 'Isn't it something that can be built with a wave of a hand? '
However, although Da Xu couldn't figure it out, he didn't think too much about it. After all, ordinary people could not understand the thoughts of peerless experts.
"Sister, you look a little sullen. What's the matter?"
At this moment, Da Xu discovered that Xia Qingmo was a little sullen at the side and couldn't help but ask curiously.
After getting along with each other these days, the relationship between everyone had become more harmonious.
Everyone's temperament was very easygoing. Apart from daily cultivation, they would either chat about everything under the sun, play chess, or take a stroll around the Azure Cloud Mountain Range with a few Senior Brothers.
During this period of time, Xia Qingmo was indeed very happy.
It was a kind of happiness that she couldn't experience in the palace.
At the very least, it was a carefree life. There was no need to scheme against each other, no need to look at others' faces, and no need to be trapped in a cage like a canary.
However, Xia Qingmo knew very well that such days wouldn't last long.
She had been missing for such a long time, and the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Besides, the Great Xia Dynasty had her Life Lamp and knew that she was safe. They even sent a Heavenly Secret powerhouse to calculate her location in an instant.
In fact, Xia Qingmo sometimes wished that she was dead.
She wasn't afraid of darkness, but she was afraid of encountering light.
In just a few days in the Qingyun Dao Sect, she had indeed become much more open-minded. In fact, she yearned for such a life.
She didn't have to be too extravagant with her Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. She just had to eat and drink and live a more adequate life every day. That was a life she yearned for.
However, she knew that she didn't deserve such a life.
How much freedom could a princess of the dynasty enjoy?
The most unfortunate thing was that her cultivation level and aptitude were not good enough. If her cultivation level and aptitude were good enough, she might indeed be able to change her fate.
However, she couldn't.
Hence, she was thinking and cherishing every minute and second.
However, at this moment, Da Xu's question made Xia Qingmo snap out of her thoughts.
"No."
Xia Qingmo smiled calmly and answered.
Hearing her answer, Da Xu was actually a smart person. He was a Ghost King in the Nascent Soul realm who had lived for so many years and was rather sly.
He could tell what Xia Qingmo was thinking at a glance.
Besides, he knew Xia Qingmo's identity, so he was very clear about it.
"Actually, everyone in the world is envious of your identity, but I'm also clear that there are many things in the world that are beyond your control."
"Instead of resisting, it's better to change your mindset and follow Heaven's will. Enjoy life and you won't be too tired. Of course, if you want to get rid of this fate, I have an idea."
Da Xu persuaded Xia Qingmo and at the same time, gave her an idea.
"What idea?"
Xia Qingmo asked curiously.
"Sister, listen to me. As a princess, your fate in the future is either to marry an outsider or marry an outsider. It's better if you marry an outsider. At least, you'll still be in the Great Xia Dynasty and you'll still be able to leave the palace."
"If you marry an outsider, you'll be in trouble. Since ancient times, a princess who marries an outsider is inferior to a concubine. It'll be better if you meet a man who really likes you, but all the princes of the five dynasties are pursuing Immortal Ascension. When they're happy, they'll definitely treat you like a fairy, but once they're done, they'll turn against you. "
"So, you might as well marry an Exalted Immortal. I don't mean anything else. Look at the Exalted Immortal. He can condense the Qi and Blood True Dragon at such a young age. He has a promising future."
"Besides, the Exalted Immortal is good-looking and eloquent. Most importantly, he's a good person. You'll be killing two birds with one stone if you marry him."
Da Xu lowered his voice and tried to matchmake Ye Ping and Xia Qingmo.
However, as soon as he said that, Xia Qingmo's beautiful face couldn't help but blush. She glanced at Da Xu and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Nonsense? I'm not talking nonsense. You're going to get married anyway. You might as well marry an Exalted Immortal instead of someone else. Sister, listen to me. You don't have to find a man of high status. In fact, sometimes, finding someone who's good to you is better than anything else. "
At this moment, Da Xu was like a master of love as he pointed out the right path for Xia Qingmo.
However, Xia Qingmo ignored Da Xu as she felt that the topic was a little off.
"Don't doubt me. Let me ask you, how do you feel about an Exalted Immortal?"
Da Xu continued to ask.
After hearing his words, Xia Qingmo couldn't help but ponder.
Xia Qingmo was initially grateful to Ye Ping. After all, Ye Ping had saved her, and what he had done afterward was indeed good, be it in terms of his character or the way he did things.
He was humble and polite to the Exalted Immortal.
He was equal to the Exalted Immortal.
She wasn't arrogant at all, and her appearance was also excellent, including her temperament. However, Xia Qingmo had never thought about love, nor would she think about it.
"Sister, actually, I'll teach you a way. If you think an Exalted Immortal will work, I'll take the risk of activating the Band-tightening Curse tonight and help you get the Exalted Immortal drunk. After that, you can have sex with him."
"I know the style of the Great Xia Dynasty very well. The people of the royal family only care about the results of their interests and don't care about the process at all. Exalted Immortal is an elite, and although your father will definitely be very angry, he'll only scold him for the sake of the overall situation."
"Once you marry an Exalted Immortal, you'll be free. What do you think?"
Da Xu asked.
"Don't talk nonsense here."
Hearing that they would have sex, Xia Qingmo immediately spoke up, feeling that Da Xu was getting more and more outrageous.
However, Da Xu was not angry and instead called out to Ye Ping who was not far away.
"Exalted Immortal."
His voice sounded.
Ye Ping opened his eyes from his cultivation, his expression full of curiosity.
"Exalted Immortal, let me ask you, what do you think of Sister Qingmo's looks?"
Da Xu was very straightforward and went straight to the point.
After he said that, Xia Qingmo's face turned even redder. She didn't mean that at all, but Da Xu's forceful matchmaking made it a little awkward.
However, although she was blushing, Xia Qingmo didn't stop him, seemingly wanting to hear Ye Ping's evaluation of her.
"Peerless beauty."
Ye Ping found it a little strange and didn't know why Da Xu asked that question, but he answered without hesitation.
"Do you want her to be your wife?"
Da Xu's next question was even more straightforward.
After he said that, Xu Luochen and the others also snapped back to their senses.
"What? Junior Sister Qingmo is going to marry Ye Ping? "
"Ye Ping is getting married too?"
"That's a good thing. Hurry up and get married and have a nephew as soon as possible."
Xu Luochen and the others spoke up one after another. They were just fooling around.
"Da Xu, don't talk nonsense."
Xia Qingmo stood up and hurriedly stopped Da Xu.
Not far away.
Ye Ping glanced at Xia Qingmo and didn't think much about it.
"The betrothal gift is too expensive, I don't want it."
Ye Ping answered very seriously.
He wasn't very fond of women. After all, cultivators were fighting against the heavens and he couldn't waste his time on love.
However, it wasn't impossible for him to find a Dao companion. Of course, what Ye Ping cared about the most was the betrothal gift. Xia Qingmo was the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, so how much betrothal gift did he have to give to marry her?
It was too expensive. Ye Ping decisively refused.
After he said that, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
No one thought that Ye Ping would refuse because of the betrothal gift. His answer somehow made them feel a little awkward.
"It's just marrying a wife, do you have to go that far? How much betrothal gift can you ask for? It's not like you're marrying a princess. Can't the sect afford such a small betrothal gift? "
Xu Luochen said calmly, but soon, he couldn't help but look at Xia Qingmo.
"Junior Sister Qingmo, are you from Jianggan?"
He was a little curious.
"No."
Xia Qingmo subconsciously answered. Xu Luochen couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. It was good that she wasn't from Jianggan.
"Since you're not from Jianggan, what are you afraid of, Little Junior Brother?"
"Yes, no one in the Qingyun Dao Sect has a marriage alliance yet. Little Junior Brother, why don't you be the first?"
"Okay, okay, let's stop fooling around. Can't you see that Junior Sister Qingmo is blushing?"
Everyone was joking, but some people felt that it was inappropriate and told them to stop joking.
However, at this moment …
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A series of terrifying sounds suddenly filled the air.
In an instant, Da Xu's expression suddenly changed as he stood up and stared into the distance.
"The Great Xia Dynasty."
In an instant, Da Xu's face became even more sullen.
Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.
However, they couldn't see anything.
Only Ye Ping and Da Xu saw what happened.
In the Qingyun Mountain Range.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen arrived neatly. Their pace was not considered fast, but the mounts they were riding were extraordinary. Each of them stepped on the void and the rumbling sounds were the sounds of the void trembling.
Xia Qingmo didn't see anything either, but all of a sudden, she understood what had happened.
"Another earthquake?"
Daoist Tai Hua, who was in charge of supervising the construction, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the sound again.
The craftsmen who were in charge of the construction were also dumbfounded.
Soon, an unforgettable scene appeared.
In the sky dome.
Figures appeared one after another and surrounded the entire Qingyun Dao Sect.
The tens of thousands of cavalrymen exuded a monstrous murderous aura. They were wearing bronze armor with light golden patterns, holding long spears in their hands, and wearing bronze helmets. Their faces could not be seen clearly, and only their emotionless eyes could be seen.
The cavalrymen pressed down on the city, causing the sky to darken a little.
The wind blew and the war flags embroidered with the words' Great Xia 'and' Mighty 'fluttered in the wind.
They didn't say anything, but because they didn't say anything, they gave off an indescribable pressure.
Daoist Tai Hua, Xu Luochen, Wang Zhuoyu, Chen Lingrou, Xue Zhuan, Lin Bei, and even Da Xu looked fearful.
In particular, Da Xu knew what it was at a glance.
It was the Mighty Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty had come personally.
Da Xu swallowed his saliva and looked at the man on the purple jade Qilin. He knew that the man was the Mighty Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Mighty Marquis was second only to the emperor.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, the emperor was supreme and there were 19 marquises under him. Seventeen of them were hereditary marquises, and the Mighty Marquis was one of them.
The other party was the Mighty Marquis, but heredity was not to be underestimated. There were no useless nobles in the Great Xia Dynasty who could inherit the title of marquis. In fact, they were even better than their predecessors.
Da Xu did not expect that the Great Xia Dynasty would actually send a marquis to escort Xia Qingmo back.
To be honest, in the beginning, Da Xu thought that Xia Qingmo was not favored in the Great Xia Dynasty, but it seemed that she was favored the most.
Daoist Tai Hua and the others swallowed their saliva.
They had never seen such a scene before.
In particular, the man on the purple jade Qilin was indescribably dignified and domineering.
He was a marquis who held a portion of the Great Xia Dynasty's military seal and ruled a world. He did not need to attack or speak. Just by standing there, he could give others a terrifying pressure.
Silence.
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Apart from the sound of the whistling wind, there was no other sound between heaven and earth.
The wind was howling and the sky was dark. The entire world seemed to have been suppressed by the invincible cavalry.
At this moment …
The insufferably arrogant Mighty Marquis on the purple jade Qilin slowly spoke.
"On the orders of His Majesty, I, Marquis Bo Zhong, am here to welcome the Tenth Princess."
His voice was cold.
He did not sound condescending, but there was no respect at all.
He was the Mighty Marquis, whose status was second only to the emperor.
Even the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty would have to address him as Brother Bo Zhong.
Hence, when faced with the unpopular Tenth Princess …
He naturally wouldn't show any respect.
The reason being, he only needed to respect one person in this world.
That person was the king of the Great Xia Dynasty. He didn't need to respect anyone else.
"Tenth Princess?"
At this moment, apart from Da Xu and Ye Ping, everyone else on the front cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect was astonished.
They looked at Xia Qingmo in disbelief.
Soon, they couldn't help but look at Ye Ping.
They somehow felt that Ye Ping was fated with the princes and princesses.
'Previously, he brought the Crown Prince of Jin Nation, and now, he brought the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. '
'Should I bring the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty along next time? '
Facing the Mighty Marquis.
Xia Qingmo, who was on the cliff, did not dare to look straight at him.
However, she still spoke slowly.
"Marquis, can I go back a few days later?"
Xia Qingmo knew that she had to go back, but she wanted to leave later and wait for a few days.
The reason being, she was very clear.
When she returned, she would be faced with the towering walls and the indifferent palace.
However, the Mighty Marquis quickly answered.
"Tenth Princess, you don't have the right to choose."
An emotionless voice sounded.
In the sky.
The Mighty Marquis sat on the purple jade Qilin and looked down at the Tenth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty.
His words were ruthless.
It also showed Xia Qingmo's status in the Great Xia Dynasty.
She was a princess.
However, she was the least favored princess.
She was destined to be married off to politics.
Everyone looked at Xia Qingmo, and Xia Qingmo also glanced at them.
They wanted to say something, but they couldn't bring themselves to say it.
However, at this moment, Ye Ping's voice suddenly sounded.
"Greetings, Marquis. I'm Ye Ping."
Ye Ping then took a deep breath and looked at the Mighty Marquis.
"Now that the princess has been chased by the Fiendcelestial Cult disciples, she must be panicking. Why don't you let her stay here for a few days, lest she gets injured and goes back?"
Ye Ping said.
He was very polite.
It was because this matter was Xia Qingmo's family matter. However, Ye Ping stood up to speak, not because he wanted to interfere in her family affairs, but because he felt that the Mighty Marquis was a little unreasonable. So what if he went back in a few days?
However, on the purple jade Qilin …
The Mighty Marquis spoke again.
"I said that the Tenth Princess doesn't have the right to choose."
"Well done, you saved the princess. This treasure is a reward for you."
"However, I hope you know that she is a princess, a phoenix of the Great Xia Dynasty. Don't think too much, otherwise, it will bring you trouble."
The Wei-Wu Marquis spoke, still without any emotion.
Furthermore, his words sounded so high and mighty, yet so domineering.
In fact, the Mighty Marquis didn't even look at Ye Ping and simply threw a green jade pendant at him.
It was a Psychic Jade, a priceless treasure that could speed up one's cultivation.
"Tenth Princess, I don't want to waste too much time."
In the next moment, the Mighty Marquis spoke again.
"Can we bid farewell?"
Xia Qingmo's voice sounded again. She couldn't stay for a few more days and wanted to bid farewell to everyone.
"I'm saying this for the last time."
"Tenth Princess, you don't have the right to choose."
The Mighty Marquis's voice was still so ruthless.
His words made the title of princess seem extremely unbearable.
The scene was very quiet.
Everyone was silent.
The Mighty Marquis showed no mercy at all.
Apart from addressing the Tenth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was no respect at all.
At the same time, he was also indifferent to Ye Ping and the others.
In his eyes, Ye Ping and the others were the soil on the ground while Xia Qingmo was the phoenix. The phoenix would be clean after being stained by the soil.
It would be wishful thinking for the soil to stick to the phoenix.
He could see it clearly, so he didn't show any mercy.
Ka-cha.
However, at this moment …
The crisp sound of jade shattering filled the air.
The sound attracted the attention of the Mighty Marquis.
He looked over from the corner of his eye.
On the front cliff.
The Psychic Jade was crushed by Ye Ping.
"Worthless pride."
On the Purple Jade Qilin.
A trace of indifference flashed in the eyes of the Mighty Marquis.
In his opinion, Ye Ping\'s behavior was just a display of his worthless pride.
He crushed the Psychic Jade on the ground.
Ye Ping slowly looked at the Mighty Marquis in the sky dome.
In the next moment, he spoke in a calm voice.
"It's just a farewell. Can't I?"
To be honest, it wasn't a big deal for the Mighty Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty to bring Xia Qingmo back. Besides, it was normal.
However, the Mighty Marquis was so overbearing, especially his words, which made Ye Ping feel a little uncomfortable.
'So what if the Mighty Marquis is strong? '
'Is he stronger than the Senior Brothers of the Qingyun Dao Sect? '
"Tenth Princess, don't waste any more time, I don't want to use other means."
The Mighty Marquis said.
He did not answer Ye Ping's question.
Instead, he told Xia Qingmo not to waste any more time and even threatened her.
However …
At this moment …
An indifferent voice slowly sounded.
"Who's disturbing my cultivation?"
A voice sounded.
All of a sudden, it attracted everyone's attention.
