That beautiful figure was none other than Chen Yan.
But now, her status had changed drastically. She was no longer the disciple of the Rashomon Palace she had been half a year ago. She had successfully inherited her father's position as palace lord. Now, she was a palace lord on equal footing with Tuoba Kuang. In the 7,000 Sea Palace, she was considered a prominent figure. This could be seen from the guards behind her that were no less powerful than the many elders of the Tuoba Palace.
"Palace Master Tuoba, I heard that your Tuoba Palace is in need of help?
What do you think of my Rashomon Palace? "Chen Yan's laughter was still sweet and charming. It was enough to make one's bones melt.
Tuoba Kuang frowned slightly. He had never expected that at this critical juncture, when everyone saw the Tuoba Palace as a calamity and was trying to distance themselves from it. Even some of the subordinate sea palaces had betrayed them, the Rashomon Palace, which had never interacted with the Tuoba Palace, would actually take the initiative to step forward?
"Indeed, the Tuoba Palace is in need of help. Thank you, Miss Chen Yan, for your kind intentions … but I wonder what your conditions are …?"
Tuoba Kuang was no fool. He was already very lucky that no one had hit him while he was down. Rashomon Palace throwing themselves at him?
He didn't believe that there was such a thing as a free lunch in the sky, so he asked calmly.
"Conditions?"
Chen Yan smiled and waved her hand. "There are no conditions. Since my husband is in the Tuoba Palace, as his wife, I can't just stand by and watch."
"Your husband?"
Everyone in the great hall clicked their tongues when they heard this.
Tuoba Kuang was also taken aback. He had never heard of Chen Yan being married. Even if she was married, it wouldn't be in the Tuoba Palace. As the palace master, how could he not know such a big deal?
"It's Qin Shi. Where is he?" Chen Yan smiled sweetly, her face flushing slightly.
"Qin Shi?
He's your husband? "
"Of course. My husband is in trouble. How can I, as his wife, sit by and do nothing?" Chen Yan said with a hint of femininity.
Tuoba Kuang's eyes twitched involuntarily.
"This Chen Yan is Qin Shi's wife?
I really didn't expect it. "
"However, they are a good match. Our young friend, Qin Shi, is at the Curse Domain Realm, and is a precious gem even in the 7,000 Sea Palaces. This Chen Yan is the Palace Lord of the Rashomon Palace. Even the birds will sink and the geese will descend. Who knows how many young masters of the various clans are pursuing her?"
"But … I heard that Miss Chen Yan doesn't have much self-respect …."
"Don't speak nonsense!"
Only then did the elders shut their mouths.
However, Chen Yan had heard all of this. She had never cared about what others said about her. She was who she was, and she had always been like this.
Indeed, the evaluation of Chen Yan in the 7,000 Sea Palaces was not high. She had always appeared in a flirtatious manner, regardless of the occasion. However, only she knew that although her heart was wanton, she also had a pure heart. What she wanted to pursue was to remain unwavering under this skin. This was why she had chosen Qin Shi.
Suddenly, Lu Peng howled, "My god! How could this be? Chen Yan is the goddess of my heart! She … she's actually Big Brother Qin Shi's wife!
It's over, it's over! How am I going to face Big Brother Qin Shi in the future!? "
"Idiot!
Don't tell me you want to snatch Big Brother's woman? "
Tuoba Li glared at Lu Peng, then said with a sly smile, "But let me tell you, Big Brother is on good terms with the three young ladies of the Mu Palace. They are all very pretty, and in terms of looks, they are far superior to Chen Yan. Other than their bodies, they are a little lacking. Let's think of a way to get Big Brother to introduce us to them. We'll be rich!"
"Really?"
Lu Peng's eyes lit up. He hadn't realized that he was just like Tuoba Li.
Tuoba Kuang's eyes were filled with joy. The help of the Rashomon Palace was undoubtedly timely. He said excitedly, "In that case, I will thank Palace Lord Chen Yan in advance."
"You're welcome. Where's Qin Shi?"
"Our young friend Qin Shi has been in seclusion for half a year."
Tuoba Kuang paused, afraid that he would offend Chen Yan and lose his only ally. "Why don't I help you call for him?"
"Seclusion?"
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then smiled virtuously. "No need. I never ask about my man's affairs. He can do whatever he likes. Palace Lord Tuoba, let's talk about the battle at the Yang Palace. What are our chances of winning?"
Tuoba Kuang's face darkened at the mention of this matter. "Less than fifty percent."
"Less than fifty percent?"
Chen Yan was slightly surprised. In her impression, the Tuoba Palace was considered one of the great palaces. How could they be forced to this extent by the Yang Palace?
At this time, the middle-aged woman beside Chen Yan said softly, "What about the Azure Palace?
If they are willing to make a move, the Yang Palace shouldn't be a threat to the Tuoba Palace, right? "
"Luo Yan?" Seeing the middle-aged woman, Tuoba Kuang was slightly surprised. It was obvious that this woman's identity was extraordinary.
After a moment, Tuoba Kuang shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. The Azure Palace will not make a move this time. The Yang Palace is also tied down by the Sea Palace. This time, they can't make a move. If we want to win against the Yang Palace, we can only rely on ourselves."
"Is that so?" Luo Yan narrowed her eyes and stared at Tuoba Kuang for a long time before she stopped asking.
At this time, Tuoba Kuang's disciple suddenly rushed in from outside the hall. The disciple was in an extremely sorry state. One of his arms had been forcefully cut off. He staggered and fell on the floor.
"Yan Wu?"
Tuoba Kuang suddenly stood up and helped the disciple up.
"What's going on?"
"Palace Master … the Yang Palace's army has already approached our Palace Straits. Our defensive perimeter has already been breached … We suffered heavy casualties, and three elders were killed on the spot!"
"That damned beast!" Tuoba Kuang was infuriated when he heard this.
"Palace Master, since the Yang Palace is already approaching, let's prepare for battle." Chen Yan smiled.
Tuoba Kuang narrowed his eyes and looked around. Even Chen Yan had spoken, so what reason did he have to shrink back?
"Everyone from the Tuoba Palace, use your full strength!
Prepare to meet the enemy! "
"Yes!"
The smell of gunpowder instantly filled the air in the Taba Palace.
"Yan Tao!
Lead the disciples and head to the border first. Don't let the Yang Palace run rampant! "
Yan Tao nodded. Soon after, his figure flickered and disappeared from the palace. Outside the palace, millions of Tuoba Palace's army were already ready to set off.
Of course, the true outcome of the battle would still be decided by the top forces.
Tuoba Kuang turned around and said to Han Hu, "Han Hu, distribute a thousand Devil Talismans to the Rashomon Palace. The rest will be distributed according to the strength of our Rashomon Palace!"
"Palace Master, this …"
"Do as I say!
Hurry! "Tuoba Kuang said decisively.
Han Hu nodded and sent nearly a thousand Devil Talismans to Chen Yan with a wave of his hand.
Chen Yan didn't stand on ceremony. Although she was willing to support the Tuoba Palace, she wasn't here to send people to their deaths. The Yang Palace's strength was above the Rashomon Palace's. If the Tuoba Palace lost this battle, the Rashomon Palace wouldn't have a good ending either.
"Miss, have you thought it through?
Are you gambling with the entire Rashomon Palace? "Luo Yan asked softly.
Chen Yan's eyes narrowed. She pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. "Third Aunt, I understand, but you don't. Ever since I returned, I couldn't control myself. If I can't see him, I'll panic. This time, the Tuoba Palace is in trouble. If the Tuoba Palace loses, then he'll definitely die here. I can't let anything happen to him …"
"You're the Palace Master now, so you make the decision. However, is it really worth it for you to do this?
With his status, will there be fewer women by his side in the future? "
"His wife!
It'll definitely be me, unless I die! "Chen Yan said with certainty.
Luo Yan shook her head helplessly and didn't say anything else.
Xing Chen and Liu Yu also led their teams away. At this moment, Tuoba Kuang personally stood up.
Tuoba Kuang looked in the direction of the nine-level Cultivation Pagoda and narrowed his eyes. "Old geezer, it looks like I won't be able to wait until you come out of seclusion!
If I win, when you come out, we can drink to our hearts' content …. If I lose, when you come out of seclusion, there might not be a Tuoba Kuang left in this world. "
"Palace Master, aren't we waiting for Elder Gongshu to come out?" Lu Peng asked.
Tuoba Kuang shook his head. "It's too late!
Lu Peng, I'll leave Tuoba Li to you. I need to personally go to the front lines to boost the morale of the Tuoba Palace disciples! "
"Palace Master Tuoba, I'll go with you."
At this time, Chen Yan lightly tiptoed and leaped to Tuoba Kuang's side.
Tuoba Kuang started, then nodded gratefully. "Alright!"
…
The battle between the Tuoba Palace and the Sun Palace finally broke out in the outer sea palaces. From the moment it started, the entire sea region was shaken.
Countless sea palaces in the 7,000 sea palaces watched with bated breath. The battle lasted for three days, and the Tuoba Sea Palace suffered defeat after defeat. The subsidiary sea palaces were breached one after another. During this time, Tuoba Kuang personally led the army and won a narrow victory. However, the advantage that he had just gained was quickly shattered. The Tuoba Palace people, led by Tuoba Kuang, were finally surrounded within the Tuoba Palace.
Inside and outside the Yang Palace, a total of a million soldiers had surrounded the Tuoba Palace.
In the airspace above the Tuoba Palace, more than 30 Sun Palace elders had arrived.
Bang!
At this time, a beam of light pierced through the barrier with the combined efforts of more than 30 people.
"Tuoba Kuang!
I've said it before!
I'll make you pay the price sooner or later! "A sinister figure flashed out from the Sun Palace.
Seeing that figure, Tuoba Kuang's old face froze. "Xia Qi!
You've defected to the Sun Palace! "
"Hmph!
Without me, the Tuoba Palace has no reason to exist! "Xia Qi laughed complacently.
"You little b * stard!
I'll kill you with my own hands today! "
Yan Tao roared. His body shot out like a cannonball, spinning in a circle in the air like a mountain. He aimed for Xia Qi's head with all his might.
However, facing Yan Tao's fist wind, Xia Qi smiled calmly. "Hmph, Yan Tao, you old dog, your strength is indeed above mine!
However, your opponent is not me! "
Suddenly, Xia Qi took a step back and smiled fawningly. "Elder Xu Yi!
Make your move. "
