More than a dozen carriages from Later Qin stopped beside a wide river.
The river was called Ao River. After crossing it, they would arrive at the capital of Later Qin.
Dugu Xiu stared at the river with a cold expression.
"Your Highness, the Saintess just sent a letter." As soon as Dugu Xiu got out of the carriage, a guard came with a letter.
Dugu Xiu only glanced at it a few times before he shattered it with his fighting power.
Hei Linlin, his half-sister from a different mother, was really a troublemaker.
This was the second time Dugu Xiu and Hei Linlin had met.
About ten years ago, when Dugu Xiu was only eight or nine years old, he had to go through the cruelest trial in history.
The princes of Later Qin were different from the princes of other countries. Before Dugu Xiu was ten years old, the Later Qin Emperor Dugu Sheng hadn't decided on a successor.
He sent all the princes and princesses in the Later Qin Palace, from three to ten years old, to a group of killers to train.
Dugu Sheng only had one thing to say to these princes and princesses. He didn't care who lived or died, he only wanted the strongest one.
Under the training of the group of killers, these noble-blooded princes and princesses had been in the company of magical beasts since they were young. They would cut off the arms of their half-brothers without batting an eyelid just to be able to eat a full meal.
The living environment of the princes and princesses of Later Qin was even worse than that of the demonic beasts in the Dutian Blood Beast Sector.
Dugu Xiu was the strongest of all the princes and princesses. He was arrogant and never associated with the other princes and princesses, but he received the most food and rewards every time.
But in the last trial, Dugu Xiu was chased by a group of people led by the fourth prince and the sixth princess. He had no choice but to escape into a mountain full of sixth-rank greenback leopards.
He was very unlucky. After running for a day and a night, he didn't find any food or water. Instead, he was attacked by a group of hungry greenback leopards.
An eight or nine-year-old child, no matter how powerful he was, was almost killed by the leopards because of multiple injuries and lack of blood.
Just when Dugu Xiu couldn't hold on any longer, an arrow Qi shot through the air and he heard the giggling voice of a girl.
He saw a girl and a middle-aged man.
The girl was about five or six years old. She had big black eyes and a delicate nose. She was making faces at Dugu Xiu.
"Hey, I heard you're my brother. But you're useless. You can't even beat a few kittens," Hei Linlin mocked.
Several dozen greenback leopards were actually just a few kittens in her eyes.
After saying that, Hei Linlin arched her back and condensed a black battle qi dagger in her small palm.
Like a butterfly shuttle, she passed through dozens of leopards......
Chi! Chi!
The warm blood splashed down like rain. As the girl passed by, the Greenback Leopards fell to the ground.
Direct and efficient, cold-blooded and merciless. Hei Linlin of the Qilin Clan was already a genius when she was only six years old.
"Are you convinced? You dare to call yourself my brother with this ability? "The dagger disappeared from Hei Linlin's hand. She looked at Dugu Xiu with disdain.
But even though he was exhausted, Dugu Xiu didn't show the slightest intention of yielding.
He walked forward and tore off a few pieces of leopard meat. He drank the leopard blood and slowly recovered his strength.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man who was traveling with Hei Linlin had a rare look in his eyes.
He walked forward and said respectfully, "Your Highness Xiu, I'm the master sent by Clan Leader Hei Yao to teach you martial arts."
Dugu Xiu still didn't say anything. Only when he was full did he wipe his mouth and point at Hei Linlin, "You can make me stronger than her?"
Hearing this, Hei Linlin went berserk and threatened to kill Dugu Xiu.
But the smile on the middle-aged man's face deepened. He just nodded. From then on, Dugu Xiu followed the expert of the Black Qilin Clan to learn martial arts.
About a month later, Dugu Xiu left the mountain range. The first thing he did after leaving was to find the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Princess and kill them directly.
Dugu Xiu even returned to the Later Qin Imperial Palace and killed the mother of the two princes and princesses.
This incident caused a sensation in the Later Qin Empire. The imperial court was divided into two factions. One faction condemned Dugu Xiu, while the other supported Dugu Xiu.
But the Later Qin Emperor had a different opinion. He thought that his iron-blooded education was a success.
It was also after that incident that the Later Qin Emperor, Dugu Sheng, looked at Dugu Xiu differently and decided to let him inherit the throne.
At that time, Hei Linlin and Dugu Xiu had a grudge.
Although one of them returned to the Eight Desolates Continent and the other stayed in the Boundless Continent, they both saw each other as competitors.
It was not until Dugu Xiu met Ye Beiming that he realized that there was someone in the Boundless Continent who could compete with him.
Ten years passed in a flash.
Later Qin Empire did not participate in the disturbance in the Dutian Blood Beast World, but Dugu Xiu had a premonition that the Black Qilin Clan was ready to make a move.
The continent had been peaceful for thousands of years. The opportunity that the Eight Desolates Tribe had been waiting for had finally arrived.
Sure enough, Hei Linlin and the Qilin Clan's elders quickly found Dugu Xiu.
As Hei Yao's son, Dugu Xiu did not care much about the Eight Desolates Tribe's counterattack. This was because he thought that regardless of whether the Eight Desolates Tribe returned, he would still be the absolute ruler of the Boundless Continent.
When Hei Linlin met Dugu Xiu again, she was no longer the little girl from back then.
Dugu Xiu had to admit that Hei Linlin had already grown into a beautiful woman who could move people's hearts. However, Dugu Xiu was not interested in Hei Yao's idea of him marrying Hei Linlin.
Firstly, although he was a descendant of the Qilin Clan, he had grown up in the Boundless Continent after all. He had learned about human relations and morals since he was young. He did not agree to a brother-sister marriage.
Secondly, Hei Linlin was an arrogant person. Although she was beautiful, she was definitely not a good match.
Dugu Xiu rejected Hei Linlin directly. He told her that he already had a candidate for the Crown Princess.
However, what surprised him was that when Hei Linlin found out that the person he liked was Yun Sheng, she did not fly into a rage out of humiliation. On the contrary, she even extended an olive branch.
It turned out that Hei Linlin had fallen in love with Ye Beiming at first sight. She wanted to form an alliance with Dugu Xiu. Dugu Xiu would marry her as the Crown Princess, and she would bring Ye Beiming back to the Eight Desolates Continent.
Although Dugu Xiu had verbally agreed to Hei Linlin's proposal, he was not very optimistic about whether Hei Linlin could successfully become a couple with Ye Beiming.
However, this was no longer important. Hei Linlin's letter stated that she had obtained the permission of the Zhou State's Emperor to force Ye Beiming and Yun Sheng to break off the engagement.
Hei Linlin also said in the letter that she wanted Dugu Xiu to speed up the process and consummate the marriage with Yun Sheng as soon as possible.
Consummate the marriage? Tsk, this was easier said than done.
Dugu Xiu looked at Yun Sheng, who had alighted from the phoenix chariot. The wind on the river was very strong. Yun Sheng faced the wind, and her black hair fluttered gently. At that moment, she was so beautiful that she did not seem like a mortal.
