Chapter 369 The Dragon and Phoenix Protecting the Nation! Tang Huo'er's Scheme! A Storm is Brewing!
Xiao Yan's voice echoed across the sky, but there was no sound from the direction of the palace.
The Soul Emperor sneered, and finally clasped his hands and said loudly, "I am also willing to serve the Great Xia for a hundred years, I only ask that Your Majesty not interfere in this matter!"
He had originally planned to join Chu Yang and take advantage of his position to make his way in the Great Thousand Worlds. Now that he had sacrificed the entire Soul Clan, he naturally had no more scruples.
Now, taking advantage of the situation, he proposed that the only condition he was to ask everyone not to interfere in the matter. In his view, if Tang Huo'er wasn't a fool, she wouldn't have chosen Xiao Yan.
As soon as the Soul Emperor finished speaking, a figure slowly appeared.
Tang Huo'er was dressed in a dragon robe, with dragons and phoenixes swirling around her, exuding majesty. The yin-yang fish phantom behind her head added to her powerful and mysterious aura.
Even when facing two Dou Di, Tang Huo'er, who only had the peak cultivation of Dou Sheng, was still not at a disadvantage!
Both Soul Emperor and Xiao Yan's pupils contracted slightly, because they sensed a threat and pressure emanating from Tang Huo'er.
This Empress of Great Xia, though not yet at the Emperor Realm, already possesses the might of a Dou Di!
"The teacher once said that he would not interfere in your disputes."
Tang Huo'er's lips parted slightly, and her authoritative yet icy voice rang out, "But..."
As she spoke, she gently raised her hand, and a dragon-shaped flame danced in her palm. "Teacher also said that he made a deal with Xiao Yan."
"This deal includes allowing Xiao Yan to gather all the different flames on the continent. As his disciple, I naturally won't stand in my way."
"Xiao Yan, I can lend you this fire, but you will need to repay it with Imperial Flame. Are you willing?"
Upon hearing her words, the Soul Emperor's expression changed slightly, but he dared not say anything more.
Because he knew very well that his strength was simply not enough to compete with Chu Yang and the Great Xia Dynasty!
Even though Chu Yang is not here now, the Empress of Great Xia is still not someone to be offended.
Xiao Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "This was originally an agreement between me and Emperor Chu, and I will naturally abide by it!"
"Your Majesty's willingness to lend me fire in this time of crisis is a kindness I will always remember, and my promise still stands!"
Tang Huo'er glanced at him, not paying much attention to the so-called promise, and threw out the primordial fire of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire.
Freed from her restraints, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire sensed Xiao Yan's call and immediately merged into his body.
At the same time, the flames around Xiao Yan were no longer colorful, but instantly transformed into dazzling, multicolored imperial flames, and his aura also rose steadily.
"How you fight is none of my business, but if it affects Great Xia, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Tang Huo'er glanced coldly at the two of them, then vanished in a flash.
Xiao Yan's robes billowed as he stared at the Soul Emperor and said coldly, "Soul Emperor, I'll be waiting for you a hundred miles away!"
After saying that, his figure transformed into a streak of light and flew away.
The Soul Emperor clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and muttered, "It's just one more strange fire. I'll see how much trouble you can cause!"
…………
The Great Xia Imperial Palace, the Empress's bedroom.
The moment Tang Huo'er appeared in the palace, her original dignified demeanor vanished, and she stumbled slightly.
Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun, who were already there, quickly stepped forward to help her up.
After stabilizing her breathing, Tang Huo'er turned to look behind her.
Two beautiful figures were sitting weakly on the ground, managing to force a smile at her.
Tang Huo'er took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your hard work..."
Zi Yan glanced at Feng Qing'er beside her and sneered, "If it weren't for her dragging His Majesty down, why would His Majesty have to expend so much energy?"
Feng Qing'er's almond-shaped eyes widened, "If I had absorbed that Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit back then, I would definitely have broken through to the Emperor Realm by now!"
"There's no need for Your Majesty to take action; I will certainly deter the Soul Emperor and Xiao Yan!"
Zi Yan curled her lip and said, "Aren't you afraid of exaggerating to the point of collapse? There's no Origin Qi on the Dou Qi Continent. How are you going to break through to Dou Di?"
Tang Huo'er, helped by Nalan Yanran, sat on the bed and rubbed her temples wearily. "Enough! The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan have put aside their grudges, so why are you still arguing all the time?"
Nalan Yanran looked at Feng Qing'er with a smile, "Little Phoenix, why are you still as willful and arrogant as before?"
Upon hearing her words, Feng Qing'er seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, her delicate body trembled violently, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to utter a sound.
The reason why Feng Qing'er and Zi Yan are here is because they have become the guardian dragons and phoenixes of the Great Xia Dynasty and have formed a bloodline link with Tang Huo'er.
The method of bloodline connection originates from the vast world and is similar to an unequal master-servant contract.
Once a bloodline bond is established, the other party will also perish if the dominant party dies.
However, if the weaker party dies, the dominant party will only suffer a severe blow, and it will not have a significant impact.
The method of bloodline connection was obtained by Chu Yang from the spiritual consciousness of Pangu, and he taught it to Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er respectively. As for whether they would link with Tang Huo'er, that was entirely up to them.
In retrospect, both of them have made the right decision.
Zi Yan was naturally the best choice among the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, but the reason why Feng Qing'er was chosen from the Tianyao Phoenix Clan was partly because she possessed the bloodline of the ancient Tianfeng.
On the other hand, there are really not many outstanding young people in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.
Although Feng Qing'er had some flaws in character, she has now corrected her bad habits after being "trained" by Nalan Yanran.
Although Tang Huo'er possessed a pure heart, comprehended the true meaning of Tai Chi, and even reached the peak of Dou Sheng, there was still an insurmountable gap between Dou Sheng and Dou Di.
The reason she was able to display the aura of a Dou Di level, and even make Hun Tiandi and Xiao Yan feel pressured, was because she borrowed the power of Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er's origin through bloodline connection.
With the support of the two fundamental sources, Tang Huo'er's strength rose to the Dou Di level in a short period of time.
However, relying on external forces is ultimately just a paper tiger. If a fight breaks out, it won't last long before she "shows her true colors."
"Why do you have to do this? Even if Junior Brother isn't here, I doubt that Soul Emperor would dare to lay a hand on you!"
Nalan Yanran took out a pill and handed it to Tang Huo'er, her face full of heartache.
Their relationship has grown increasingly warm, and they have now become close confidantes who can talk about anything. Even Yun Yun has put aside her elder's airs and become one of them.
Tang Huo'er shook her head and said, "We can't always hide behind our teacher. Besides, the Soul Emperor is tyrannical and eccentric. If he were to act recklessly, the entire Great Xia Dynasty would be in danger, and even the Yunlan Sect would be affected."
Yun Yun snorted coldly and said, "If he dares to attack Great Xia, although we have not yet broken through to the Emperor Realm, if we add Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong, it will be enough to make that Soul Emperor suffer a terrible fate!"
"Your Majesty, what about Xiao Yan..." Zi Yan asked tentatively.
Of all the people present, she and Xiao Yan had the closest relationship, having gone through life and death together many times.
On the contrary, as Yun Yun's viewing experience gradually increased, her thinking became more open and progressive, and she had long since let go of what happened in the Monster Mountain Range.
Tang Huo'er thought for a moment, then said, "Let's stall him for now and wait for the teacher to come back and make a decision."
"The teacher's attitude towards Xiao Yan is somewhat special. He must have other plans for Xiao Yan, so I will not rashly try to win him over."
Zi Yan nodded gently and said nothing more.
"Indeed, it seems our Great Xia Empress has developed the demeanor of someone who can stand alone!"
A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and the expressions of the five women present all jolted.
Chu Yang's figure appeared, and everyone's faces showed a hint of surprise.
"Teacher!" Tang Huo'er stood up abruptly, but due to the excessive exertion, she swayed slightly and fell back down.
Chu Yang flashed and appeared in front of Tang Huo'er, placing his hand on her shoulder and channeling his Origin Qi into her body through his palm.
"Junior Brother!" Nalan Yanran threw herself into Chu Yang's arms without saying a word, her eyes red, and said, "I thought you had secretly run off to the Great Thousand World by yourself!"
Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled. After Nalan Yanran calmed down, he looked at Tang Huo'er and asked, "Why didn't I see Zhu Li and Qi You?"
Tang Huo'er said softly, "They went to the Sound Valley and are currently in seclusion, breaking through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm."
"So fast?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.
When he left, he left behind some genetic reagents and granted Black Tower access to the technology related to the fourth-generation peak beast body.
Whether it's Zhu Li and Qi You, or Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er, they have all undoubtedly upgraded to the peak fourth-generation beast bodies and been injected with gene reagents.
Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er were already quite talented and had powerful bloodlines. With the added benefits of their genes and beast bodies, it was within Chu Yang's expectations that they could both reach the peak of Dou Sheng within three years.
The rapid progress of Ke Zhuli and Qi You was beyond his expectations.
Yun Yun smiled and said, "It is Senior Yin Di who has been helping us all along. It's not just the two Dragon Kings. Now, the Great Xia and Yunlan Sect together have a total of over a hundred peak Dou Sheng experts!"
Hearing her say that, Chu Yang suddenly understood.
Mu Tianyin is a spirit of a plane, and it is not difficult for her to gather energy on a large scale, or even obtain some rare and precious materials.
However, this would also exacerbate the energy consumption of the Dou Qi Continent. It must be said that Mu Tianyin has great courage and absolute trust in him.
After all, if Chu Yang fails to open up a dimensional passage, the Dou Qi Continent will be completely depleted of energy.
"Teacher, about Xiao Yan..."
Tang Huo'er was about to say something when Chu Yang raised his hand to interrupt her, "I already know about this matter, but I'm sure Xiao Yan can guess that you did this on purpose."
“If we take the opportunity to recruit him into Great Xia, he will inevitably harbor resentment.”
"Why not let this matter rest, and after his battle with the Soul Emperor is over, then offer him some help as a favor, so that he will owe you a big favor."
Xiao Yan broke through to the Dou Di realm using the Burning Flame Technique and the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, enabling him to control all the different flames on the Dou Qi Continent.
