What surprised Su Xin even more was that Ning Fengzhi, along with the Sword Fighter and Bone Fighter behind him, were also here.
However, it's immediately obvious that these three were invited by Xue Ye overnight to bolster their presence.
"Teacher Su... Teacher Su..."
When Flander saw Su Xin come out, followed by that "Crown Prince," his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He hurried over, his face full of excitement and gossip, and was about to tell her what had happened.
Su Xin raised his hand to stop him.
"No need to say anything! It's none of our business... Let's just wait and see, and not worry about everything."
Flander immediately swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and respectfully stepped aside.
On the other side, Snake-Haired Douluo and Thorn-Butt Douluo breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qianrenxue walk out unharmed.
The two quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
"Young Master! Your subordinate failed in protecting you and caused you distress. Please punish me!" the Thorn-Butt Fighting Girl said with a guilty expression.
"Young Master, are you... are you alright?" Shemao Douluo asked anxiously.
They had witnessed Su Xin's terrifying strength firsthand and were terrified that their young master had suffered some terrible fate.
Qian Renxue's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Su Xin beside her.
Seeing his amused expression, I felt inexplicably annoyed.
Then she withdrew her gaze, resuming her aloof and arrogant demeanor, and said calmly to the two of them, "I'm fine."
"Teacher Su's strength is unfathomable, far beyond your ability to contend with. This is not your fault. Get up."
Hearing this, Snake Sprout and Thorn Buttocks finally felt relieved, stood up from the ground, and respectfully retreated behind Qian Renxue.
However, the way they looked at Su Xin was filled with endless apprehension and fear.
Qian Renxue ignored the two people behind her and didn't look at Su Xin.
Instead, he straightened his clothes.
Then he walked slowly towards the direction where the Tian Dou royal family and Ning Fengzhi were.
As she approached, the atmosphere instantly became heavy.
The gazes of the three thousand imperial guards were like knives, fixed on her, as if they wished they could tear her to pieces.
Marshal Goron gripped his sword hilt, his eyes bloodshot. If he hadn't been still rational, he probably would have charged forward long ago.
Inside the carriage, the Blood Night Emperor clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly with rage.
However, Qian Renxue remained oblivious to all of this.
He didn't even glance at the Blood Night Emperor's carriage, nor did he pay any attention to the murderous Imperial Guards.
Their steps finally stopped in front of Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Qibao Liuli Sect.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone.
Qianrenxue bowed deeply.
"Student greets teacher!"
Ning Fengzhi's face instantly darkened.
She took a half step back, distancing herself from Qian Renxue, and her voice became cold.
"My student is the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Bean Empire - Xue Qinghe."
"I cannot accept being called 'teacher' by the Holy Maiden of the Martial Soul Sect."
However, Qian Renxue showed no surprise or embarrassment at Ning Fengzhi's attempt to distance himself from her.
She slowly straightened up, her beautiful golden eyes calmly gazing at Ning Fengzhi.
"You may not acknowledge the debt of gratitude I owe you for teaching me."
"But the students will always remember it."
"When the Martial Soul Conquest conquers the continent... the Qibao Liuli Sect can rely on this master-disciple relationship to remain aloof."
Upon hearing this, Marshal Ge Long, who was standing nearby, became anxious and shouted at Ning Fengzhi.
"Sect Leader Ning! You must not be bewitched by this demoness!"
"Their true intentions are crystal clear! They want the entire continent!"
"At that time, how could we possibly allow a force like the Qibao Liuli Sect to exist in the world?"
Ning Fengzhi remained silent.
Although his face remained calm, his heart was in turmoil!
Why has this woman's scheming suddenly become so terrifying?
In short... it severed the already fragile trust between the Tiandou Empire and the Qibao Liuli Sect!
After receiving an invitation from the Blood Night Emperor and learning about the Martial Soul's plan to usurp the country.
Ning Fengzhi is indeed seriously considering whether to form an alliance with the Tiandou Empire to jointly fight against the Martial Soul Disease.
After all, once the Tiandou Empire falls, their sects and forces will definitely be next.
But now...
Because of Qian Renxue's words, a huge rift had already appeared in the alliance before it even began.
The royal family of Tiandou no longer trusts themselves completely, because the bond between master and disciple truly exists.
From his own perspective...
Even if they had allied with the Tiandou Empire, their chances of winning against the powerful Martial Soul would have been less than 20%.
It was a high-stakes gamble with almost no hope, betting the future of the entire Qibao Liuli Sect.
But now there is another path. A path that seems brighter and more secure.
Remaining aloof and not participating in the conflicts on the continent... this may be the best choice for the Qibao Liuli Sect.
Ning Fengzhi's brain was working at lightning speed, weighing the pros and cons.
Finally, looking at Qian Renxue, he nodded gently, acknowledging their master-disciple relationship.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance. Both of them saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
They understood what Ning Fengzhi's decision meant.
As the guardian of the Qibao Liuli Sect, all actions must be based on the sect's interests as the highest principle.
To ally oneself with the doomed Tian Dou Empire is not loyalty, it is foolishness.
Qian Renxue's appearance gave them a way out, an option to preserve their sect.
Ning Fengzhi had no reason not to accept.
But for Emperor Blood Night and Marshal Golong, this was like a devastating blow.
Ning Fengzhi... he chose to compromise!
The Tian Dou Empire has been completely isolated!
Qian Renxue's smile deepened when she saw Ning Fengzhi nod. She bowed to Ning Fengzhi again.
"In that case, I will take my leave now."
"I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to discuss with my teacher the art of governing the country and enriching the people."
After saying that, he didn't linger and turned to leave with Snake-Hair and Thorn-Butt Fighting Loli.
As Qianrenxue moved.
The three thousand menacing imperial guards unconsciously parted to the sides, making way for a passage.
Their eyes were filled with overwhelming anger and humiliation, and their weapons clattered as they gripped them tightly.
But no one dared to make a move.
Because standing behind that woman were two titled Douluo.
At this moment... the Blood Night Emperor, who had been silent all along, finally could no longer hold back.
"You...you killed three of my sons..."
"I...I can overlook this..."
"But Qinghe...my true son, where are his remains?"
Qian Renxue merely rolled her eyes at Emperor Xueye, then turned and left without looking back, taking with her Snake Spear and Thorn Buttock Fighting Loli.
He calmly left amidst the murderous gazes of all the Imperial Guards.
Utterly ignore it!
The Blood Night Emperor's last request was met with only a contemptuous look from the other party.
This humiliation is worse than death!
The Blood Night Emperor could no longer withstand it.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his whole body deflated like a punctured balloon, instantly collapsing to the ground.
"Your Majesty, you must pull yourself together!"
Ge Long was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help him up.
The Blood Night Emperor's eyes were lifeless as he muttered to himself, "It's over...it's all over...the heavens are going to destroy my Heavenly Bean..."
He felt like his whole world had collapsed.
His sons are all dead, his allies have betrayed him, the murderer is right in front of him, and he doesn't even have the right to take revenge.
What's the point of being an emperor?
Just when Emperor Blood Night was in despair, Marshal Ge Long's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Your Majesty! You've forgotten! We still have hope!"
"We still have Heavenly King Su Xin!"
