The Fifth Elder saw this and leaped forward to stop them. Wen Yuxi blocked the Fifth Elder. "Fifth Elder, your opponent is me..."
The Fifth Elder looked at Wen Yuxi and sneered, "You, trying to be my opponent, are you?"
"Yes..." Wen Yuxi replied.
The Fifth Elder's gaze turned cold as he moved towards Wen Yuxi. "Be careful, the Fifth Elder has hidden weapons!" Feng Ling shouted from the side.
Wen Yuxi retreated repeatedly. The Fifth Elder chuckled lowly, "Feng Ling, you are actually helping outsiders."
Feng Ling slowly stood up, looking at the Fifth Elder and said coldly, "I am not helping outsiders, but helping the Feng Yin clan."
"Ridiculous," the Fifth Elder scoffed.
Feng Ling shook her head, "I am helping the Empress, only to earn a promise of freedom for my people."
"Feng Ling, your thoughts are too naive. Do you think the royal family will let the people of the Feng Yin clan reappear in the world? No, they won't. They will only slowly drain the Feng Yin clan until nothing is left."
"No, I believe in her." Feng Ling's gaze fell upon the woman fighting the King of Beijiang.
"Belief is the most laughable thing in this world. Feng Ling, you actually believe this one day?"
"Belief proves I still have humanity and conscience. But your heart has been blinded, Fifth Elder, you cannot see..."
The Fifth Elder's eyes chilled, "Feng Ling, you..."
Xue Zi Ning discovered that the King of Beijiang was no match for her. After several exchanges, the King of Beijiang was at a disadvantage. She kicked the sword from his hand and pointed her long sword directly at him.
"Feng Xian..." the King of Beijiang suddenly called out.
"Your Majesty, be careful..." Feng Wu's voice came from behind. She turned and saw a beam of white light rushing towards her.
The immense power left her no time to dodge.
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty..."
Feng Wu flew forward madly. Wen Yuxi, unable to attend to the Fifth Elder, also moved forward to check.
"She won't survive. Feng Xian has used all her strength. Even I cannot withstand it. Feng Ling, your dream is shattered."
Feng Ling trembled all over and shook her head, "No... it's impossible..."
The white mist slowly dissipated, and one figure, no... two figures slowly emerged from the mist. The long dress, like the color of water and sky, danced in the wind.
"Your Majesty..." Feng Wu stepped forward, her complexion much improved.
Wen Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, please don't do this again next time. You scared me to death."
The Fifth Elder's face grew uglier and uglier.
Feng Ling chuckled softly, "See, even heaven helps the royal family. Fifth Elder, do you still not understand now?"
"Understand what?" the clan leader said coldly.
"The general trend," Feng Ling said, word by word.
Xue Zi Ning walked step by step towards Feng Ling. Feng Ling saw the water-and-sky colored dress dancing in the wind. A slender, tall figure stood before her.
Her pure and beautiful face had eyes that were clear to the bottom, with a hint of coolness.
At this moment, the only thing emanating from her was the majesty of imperial power.
Feng Ling knelt and kowtowed, "This commoner greets Your Majesty."
All the clansmen of the Feng Yin clan behind her also knelt and kowtowed.
Xue Zi Ning turned around and saw the King of Beijiang lying in Feng Xian's arms, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Zi Jie..." the Fifth Elder leaped forward, looking at the King of Beijiang.
The King of Beijiang tightly grasped the Fifth Elder's hand, "Mother, son... may not be able to accompany you anymore..."
The Fifth Elder wept, "Zi Jie, Mother just found you, don't leave Mother..."
The King of Beijiang reached out to caress Feng Xian's belly, "Mother... raise him well. One day, he will stand..."
"Zi Jie..." the Fifth Elder roared.
The King of Beijiang looked at her, tightly...
"Xue Zi Jie, I will not lay hands on them, you can rest assured..."
The King of Beijiang reached out. Xue Zi Ning stepped forward but did not extend her hand. He said, "We should be the closest people..."
"Yes, but greed has occupied your heart. Xue Zi Jie has come to this point, you brought it upon yourself."
The King of Beijiang chuckled lowly, "Is that so? But isn't your fate a bit better? The cycle of heaven, one day, you will be like me."
"No..." Xue Zi Ning said.
"I don't believe it..." the King of Beijiang roared.
Suddenly, countless footsteps were heard from outside. A person rode a horse and arrived in front of Xue Zi Ning, dismounted, and said, "This minister rushed to the rescue late, please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Xue Zi Ning looked up at Shen Yun Xuan, who arrived covered in dust, and smiled, "With them accompanying me, I will never reach that day..."
The King of Beijiang turned his head with difficulty and saw tens of thousands of troops.
He smiled, a desolate smile, "I lost..."
"Yes..."
"Xue Zi Ning, I am not convinced. Why did Father lose, and I lost too?"
Xue Zi Ning looked around and said slowly, "The hearts of the people, you lost the hearts of the people..."
The hearts of the people? The King of Beijiang smiled. What are the hearts of the people? Aren't the hearts of the people about mutual exploitation?
Xue Zi Ning stepped forward. Shen Yun Xuan had someone lead the imperial carriage over. Xue Yan was in the carriage. Xue Yan saw her, tears streaming down her face.
"Your Majesty, your servant finally sees you..."
"Xue Yan, are they well?" Xue Zi Ning asked.
Upon hearing this, Xue Yan put on a stern face, "Your Majesty, how can you still ask? This servant thought you didn't want them anymore?"
"How could I? They are my flesh and blood after all," Xue Zi Ning said. She missed them every day.
"They are very well, Your Majesty, rest assured..." Xue Yan said.
Xue Zi Ning nodded, "Change my clothes."
Xue Yan nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xue Zi Ning emerged from the imperial carriage again, now in a bright yellow dragon robe. The dragon on her chest coiled, and she stood on the imperial carriage.
Everyone knelt and bowed, "Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"
"Today, I declare here that the agreement between the Feng Yin clan and the Xue family has ended. From now on, the people of the Feng Yin clan can walk out of the desert in broad daylight and live in various places in the Changjiu Kingdom."
Feng Ling excitedly kowtowed, "This commoner thanks Your Majesty for your grace!"
"They are all my subjects, I cannot favor one over the other!"
"Long live, long live, ten thousand years!"
The shouts were deafening.
"She... she really did it..." the King of Beijiang couldn't believe it. She gave up such a good opportunity...
He was unwilling, unwilling...
"Your Highness..." Feng Xian called out softly.
But he could no longer hear her...
The Fifth Elder cried and pulled his hand, "Zi Jie, Mother will take you home..."
Feng Xian collapsed on the ground. She looked up and saw Feng Ling walking towards her. She said, "The winner is king, the loser is bandit. Kill me or torture me as you wish."
"I will not kill you, for you are carrying a child. But don't think I am letting you go. I simply do not wish to kill this child who has no chance to be born."
