Outlaw

After Xiao Beichen and the Empress left the enshrinement hall, they briefly said goodbye to Ye Feng. Then the two of them went out to hang out by themselves.

The empress is actually quite withdrawn and is more used to living alone.

The two left the Night Clan's camp and wandered around the nearby glacier area.

Most people just hang out and go shopping.

But the empress's wandering was unusual.

Take Xiao Beichen with you, step on the auspicious clouds, walk in the air, climb over mountains and ridges, and cross glaciers and mountains.

How can ordinary people endure this kind of wandering?

But Xiao Beichen likes it.

Following the empress, we basically visited the entire island in just a few hours.

The auspicious clouds at the feet of the empress were too fast.

Finally, the empress stopped on the top of a mountain on the easternmost side of the island and looked to the east: "Xiao Bei, do you see the land on the other side of the sea?"

Xiao Beichen looked around and saw a vast ocean with no end in sight.

But if you look closely, you will find that there is a very vast land across the distant sea. It is much larger than the island in the Night Clan Island Mountain.

Xiao Beichen calmed down and said, "That piece of land is the East China Sea, right?"

The empress nodded: "That's right. Before Daxia was established, the iron-hoofed army of the East China Sea State set out from that land and entered our land of Daxia, marching straight in. It once caused extremely serious disasters to our Daxia."

Xiao Beichen stared deeply ahead, his eyes almost bursting with fire.

Perhaps it is because he really loves the land of Daxia and does not allow anyone to trample on this land.

Or maybe it's because he is full of resentment towards the East China Sea in his bones, and whenever he mentions the East China Sea, he will go into a state of near violence.

In short, this anger... is overwhelming!

However, Xiao Beichen is no longer the impulsive boy he was five years ago.

He took a deep breath together, and after adjusting his emotions, he slowly raised his right hand and caught a falling snowflake.

"Before the founding of Daxia, there were countless old warlords. But at that time, there were many powerful people in Daxia. How could I let a little Xiaodonghai trample on my land of Daxia like this!"

The empress said calmly: "The internal reason is nothing more than the separatism of warlords, and the world has no master. The warlords and wealthy families only care about their own interests, and are unwilling to sacrifice their own interests to resist the invasion of the East China Sea. In the end, it led to a serious disaster step by step."

Xiao Beichen felt an indescribable sadness.

A family without an owner means a family cannot be a family.

A country without a master will have no country.

Country is not a cold term, nor is it a cold land.

The country needs countless people to stand up, defend it, and care for it.

It needs the guidance of the master to bring everyone together, reconcile and resolve conflicts internally, and resist powerful enemies externally.

Although the Daqian Dynasty was a product of the feudal era, the technological and humanistic levels of the warlord era were more advanced than the Daqian Dynasty.

But Xiao Beichen realized that it was a disaster for countless people living in the era of warlord rule. It suffered internally from warlord wars and externally from the invasion of powerful enemies.

It is not as stable as the people of the Daqian Dynasty.

For many things, when raised to the level of a country, the pros and cons are difficult to explain clearly.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen said: "Where are the external causes?"

The empress said: "The external reason... is that the East China Sea State implemented military reforms at that time. The government, military, and military were integrated into one, forming a war machine. In addition, they took refuge in Shenmen and became unprecedentedly powerful. Suddenly, I was greatly Xia was caught off guard and unable to resist."

"The five major shrines in the East China Sea all entered the land of Daxia at that time. Later, although the war ended, the East China Sea still left the headquarters of various major shrines on the land of Daxia. They also developed secretly and were ambitious."

"Fortunately, you slaughtered four of the five major shrines in the East China Sea by yourself. Only the Tennoomi Shrine is left."

From this point of view, Xiao Beichen is indeed awesome!

Of the five major shrines in the East China Sea, Xiao Beichen hacked to death four of them by himself.

Who else can I?

After regaining consciousness, Xiao Beichen said: "Master, you brought me here specially..."

Swish!

The empress slowly raised her right hand and pointed to the East China Sea land ahead: "You have already cut down the four major shrines in the East China Sea, why not go one step further. Cut down the last shrine in the East China Sea. Or even... destroy the East China Sea martial arts world!"

hiss!

How crazy!

Xiao Beichen took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Master said it well, and that's exactly what I meant."

The empress smiled: "Okay, I will personally crown you after you destroy the East China Sea martial arts world. After you capture the sixteen regions of Central China."

Xiao Beichen's bones were feeling numb.

Excitement, anticipation.

……

In a separate courtyard.

Ye Wenhe sat in the tea room drinking tea, feeling restless.

There are only the last two days left before Kaitan will step down as the clan leader.

Although Qi Shao said it doesn't matter.

But Ye Wenhe didn't know the origin of Qi Shao, so he was still very panicked.

Once he steps down from the position of clan leader, the consequences will be disastrous.

At this moment, Ye Wuchen hurried in.

After some pleasantries, Ye Wenhe looked solemn: "Wuchen, do you think these Seven Young Masters are reliable? There is a strong man from the Celestial Realm behind Ye Feng. Just now, the chief minister of my enshrinement hall specially summoned that person. Those people. I feel really uneasy."

"How about you contact Taijing Lingzong again and ask Taijing Lingzong to send someone to help?"

Ye Wuchen said firmly: "Dad, you don't have to worry. If Qi Shao said it's okay, it will be okay. We can just wait and wait."

Ye Wenhe still felt uneasy: "Seventh Young Master...is it really possible? He is a strong man in the Celestial Realm."

Ye Wuchen lowered his voice and said: "Dad, let me tell you the truth. This was originally a secret... The Seventh Young Master is the seventh prince of the Daxia Royal Family. The nine people behind him are all top bosses of the royal family. It's just that It’s just hiding their strength. If they are combined together, they are very powerful. Coupled with other secret arts and magic weapons of the royal family, they may not be able to resist the celestial realm."

"What's more, the Seventh Young Master has a stronger trump card. Not to mention a strong man in the Celestial Realm. Even if he wipes out the entire Daoshan Night Clan's worship hall, it won't be difficult."

hiss!

Ye Wenhe stood up in shock, his whole body trembling: "The seventh young master is actually the seventh prince of the Daxia court! That's it. In this case, we can rest easy this time."

Ye Wuchen smiled and said: "That's natural. When the time comes, we'll just wait and see the good show!"

Ye Wenhe laughed loudly: "God is really blessing me, Ye Wenhe, hahaha!"

……

It is said that Xiao Beichen returned to No. [-] Villa after hanging out with the Empress.

as usual.

The empress reads a book, while Xiao Beichen retreats.

He sat cross-legged in the room, feeling the many changes in his body.

This time I saw Murong Xia, the great priest of the Night Clan, and also saw the land of the East China Sea on the other side of the Dongqing Sea.

These things made Xiao Beichen filled with emotions.

Suddenly, many things that were relatively blurry became clearer.

He realized that the road ahead would be difficult, and the powerful people he had to face would be stronger.

You must strengthen yourself as soon as possible.

Put away your thoughts and start running the Demonic Soul Technique.

The realm of soul creation is very special in Qi refining.

It is a great realm for repairing the defects in the soul of a natural being. For a pure Qi Refiner, it is very difficult to cross this realm. After all, Qi Refiners are relatively unfamiliar with things like soul refining. It is very difficult to make up for the missing soul power.

But for Xiao Beichen, it shouldn't be too simple.

As the Heavenly Demon Soul Technique was operating, the little cyan brother appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness. Start absorbing the power of the demon from the Twin Cities Mirror.

After it was full, it injected cyan power into Xiao Beichen's body to nourish the Qi and Body refining techniques.

The realm of soul creation is beginning to loosen...

Metamorphosis!

Xiao Beichen realized that what the empress said might be right.

For Xiao Beichen, this great realm of soul creation... may soon be over.

……

Two days passed by suddenly.

Tomorrow is the day when Ye Wenhe will step down as the clan leader.

This has a great bearing on Xiao Beichen and the Empress' trip.

With Ye Wenhe in charge of the Ye clan, many things will be much easier to handle.

Xiao Beichen finished the retreat and took a simple bath. After cooking a grilled fish meal for the empress, he put on a black cloak and went out alone after clearing the dishes.

Tomorrow is the day Ye Wenhe leaves office. Xiao Beichen is not worried and wants to take a look.

Late at night, the Night Clan's camp was still covered in silver and the ground was covered with ice and snow.

Walking on the streets and alleys, listening to the shouts of the vendors around him, and feeling the smoke and fire of the world, Xiao Beichen felt much more at peace.

Sometimes, Xiao Beichen misses the smell of fireworks.

Unknowingly, I arrived at the entrance of the enshrinement hall.

Asking for a seat at a nearby barbecue restaurant, Xiao Beichen sat down, ordered a few plates of barbecue, a few bottles of wine, and enjoyed it alone.

At this time, the door of the courtyard opened, and many craftsmen and people from the Night Clan's ceremonial team entered and exited the gate of the ancient pagoda courtyard, as if they were busy with something.

Xiao Beichen saw all this.

It is probably guessed that they are preparing for the clan leader's resignation ceremony tomorrow.

Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

It didn't look like something was going to happen.

Xiao Beichen felt relieved.

At this moment, Ye Zichen came out with a group of people from the etiquette team.

Seeing Xiao Beichen eating barbecue on the street, Ye Zichen came up to him excitedly: "Sir, it's rare that you have the time to come here for a late-night snack."

She felt that Xiao Beichen was very familiar, but she couldn't see his aura or appearance.

Xiao Beichen nodded: "Are you ready for tomorrow's clan leader's resignation ceremony?"

Ye Zichen smiled happily and said: "Yes. It's all ready. It's done by our elders personally. Tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon, at sunset, Ye Wenhe will go on stage to pay tribute to the worship hall and publicly resign as the leader of the clan. From now on. , the disputes within our Night Clan will be over."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you for all of this, sir. If it weren't for the help of sir and the boss, the internal conflicts in our Night Clan would not have been resolved so smoothly."

Xiao Beichen smiled lightly and said: "It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

After some pleasantries, Xiao Beichen left with peace of mind.

Returning to Courtyard No. [-], I put away my distracting thoughts and sat down cross-legged again.

Start retreat.

"It will be six o'clock tomorrow afternoon, which is still half a day away."

"I hope that this time, I can cross the great realm of soul creation in one fell swoop. This is a plot given to me. I must cross it as soon as possible and accept the next difficult realm."

……

Five o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

call!

Xiao Beichen breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were shining with a strong light.

A mighty aura erupted.

Unprecedented tyranny.

Compared to seven days ago, he seemed like a completely different person.

"With the blessing of the green villain and the power of the demon, I finally crossed an entire realm in seven days. Now, I have finally entered a higher realm of creation!"

Xiao Beichen stood up slowly, with a calm calmness in his eyes.

The higher the realm, the more stable the mentality.

The realm of creation is the fifth realm among the six realms of creation.

Only when you step into this realm can you claim to be able to conquer the heaven and earth!

Before coming to the Eastern Qinghai Region, the Creation Realm was an unattainable goal for Xiao Beichen.

Now, it’s done!

"We have entered the realm of creation. Not bad!"

The empress walked out at this time and said calmly: "You possess many miraculous arts, and you are becoming more and more proficient in the operation of black dragon fire. Although you have just stepped into the realm of creation, many powerful people in the realm of creation are no match for you. I need at least the Seven-Star Creation Realm before I can fight with you."

This is the truth!

The black dragon fire is too tyrannical!

Xiao Beichen has not used it for a long time.

On the one hand, it is certainly because the black dragon fire is too heaven-defying.

More importantly, Xiao Beichen didn't want too many people to know that he had the Black Dragon Fire.

Every man is innocent of his guilt.

It would be difficult if someone spotted you.

Xiao Beichen smiled and said: "The achievements I have now are the result of Master taking me to travel around the world."

The empress snorted: "What a mouthful! The time for Ye Wenhe to step down as clan leader is coming soon, let's go and see it too!"

Xiao Beichen looked at the time, it was a few minutes past five o'clock.

Coming.

Take a quick shower and put on new clothes. Then he went out with the empress.

Ye Zichen, Ye Feng and others were waiting outside the door early.

As soon as he saw the door open, he immediately greeted him: "Hello, boss!"

"Hello sir."

Ye Feng's attitude was very respectful: "It will be the time when Ye Wenhe will step down as the clan leader. Please go and have a look."

The empress nodded: "Let's go."

It was already around [-]:[-] when the group arrived at the large square outside the worship hall. Tens of thousands of Night Clan disciples gathered here to witness this important moment.

On the other side, Ye Wenhe, Ye Wuchen, Qi Shao, the high priest, and the nine cloaked men and women behind Qi Shao were all present.

The atmosphere in the entire venue was very solemn.

Quite suffocating.

The time soon arrived at six o'clock.

when!

A clear and melodious bell rang.

The leader of the Ye Clan's ceremonial team loudly said: "Please invite the clan leader Ye Wenhe to come on the stage to offer incense and pay homage to the enshrinement hall. Then he publicly announced his resignation from the position of clan leader."

In full view of everyone, Ye Wenhe, dressed in formal attire, slowly climbed onto the sacrificial platform.

Begin to burn incense and make an announcement to the worship hall.

The resignation of a clan leader is a big deal, and the process is naturally complicated.

Everyone can understand and wait quietly.

Ye Zichen stared closely at Ye Wenhe on the high platform and murmured: "Ye Wenhe, this selfish bastard, is finally resigning. This is a great thing. After today, all matters of the Ye clan will be affected. They are all led by the Great Elder. There is hope for our return to Middle-earth."

Ye Feng deeply believed it and was filled with emotion.

Murong Tian, ​​Murong Qiuye, Baibeard, Murong Dongxueye, Wu Yekui and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Ye Wenhe, the stumbling block, leaves his post, no one will stop the Night Clan from returning to the Middle Earth.

The empress said calmly at this time: "I'm afraid things are not that simple."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Feng suddenly lost his composure: "Boss, will there be any more trouble?"

The empress frowned slightly: "You'll know just by looking at it."

Soon, the warning process ended.

It was time for Ye Wenhe to publicly announce his abdication.

At this most critical moment, everyone in the audience widened their eyes and stared straight ahead without blinking.

asphyxia!

However, at this moment, Ye Wenhe suddenly said: "All the Ye clan disciples around me, at this most important moment, I want to invite a distinguished guest to the stage."

"Please Qi Shao!"

As soon as these words came out, countless children of the Night Clan were shocked.

what's the situation?

Didn't Gai announce his abdication?

Why do you want to invite Seventh Young Master?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Seventh Young Master slowly stepped onto the stage with nine men and women in cloaks.

The Seventh Young Master put his hands behind his back, pressed his hands, and then said loudly: "Dear children of the Night Clan, now that the Night Clan is deeply involved in internal conflicts and infighting, it is really necessary for an independent third party to come forward to point out the direction for the Ye Clan. After all, Ye Wenhe is How can the leader of the Night Clan step down just because of a bet?"

"It's just a verbal bet. It's nothing more than casual talk. Why should you take it seriously?"

Boom!

The whole crowd of Night Clan disciples exploded.

Ye Zichen noticed something and stood up directly to accuse Ye Wenhe: "Ye Wenhe, are you trying to cheat?"

Ye Wenhe spread his hands and smiled broadly: "I didn't say anything. It was Young Master Qi who said it. I just think what Young Master Qi said... makes sense."

Ye Zichen was stunned.

So shameless?

Turning around, Ye Zichen said to Qi Shao: "Qi Shao, who are you? Why do you interfere in my Ye Clan's internal affairs?!"

"Aren't you afraid of becoming the public enemy of my Night Clan by doing this?"

Although the Night Clan is in decline, its power is still very powerful.

Ordinary martial arts wealthy families would not dare to interfere.

Ha ha!

Qi Shao smiled: "Why should I interfere in your Night Clan's internal affairs? Okay, I'll tell you why..."

After saying that, Qi Shao slowly took off his mask.

Revealing a handsome and masculine face.

Pull off the jacket again.

Inside, is a golden python robe.

Noble and gorgeous, the aura is extremely powerful.

"I am the seventh prince of the Great Xia Empire, the Iron Prince! The Eastern Qinghai area belongs to my land of Great Xia! Is the whole world the royal land, and the shore of the land is not the royal ministers. I, the Royal Family of Great Xia, are in charge of your Ye Clan's internal affairs. It is just and legitimate. !”

Everyone was terrified and the whole place was silent!

Who would have thought that the seventh prince of the Great Xia Empire would come in person.

Moreover, what the Seventh Prince said... is no problem.

No one can refute it.

Otherwise, it will be against the Daxia royal family!

Who has such courage?

The entire Ye clan suddenly didn't dare to speak.

The Seventh Prince continued: "I am Ye Wenhe's backer! The previous bet is now over. I said so! Does anyone have any objections?"

For a while, no one dared to refute.

Murong Tian, ​​Murong Qiuye, Baibeard, Ye Zichen, Ye Feng and others were all frightened.

He was furious, but he didn't dare to stand up and openly confront the Daxia royal family.

The Seventh Prince looked at everyone's attitude with satisfaction and said aloofly: "Since no one objects, I will not make things difficult for you. In order to ensure long-term peace and stability for the Ye Clan, everyone is united. I announced that Ye Wenhe will step down as the leader of the Ye Clan. position."

The whole audience was shocked again.

Let’s cancel the bet first and let everyone’s expectations drop to freezing point.

Then use the imperial power to let Ye Wenhe step down.

It not only shows the supremacy of the imperial power, but also raises everyone's expectations.

It has to be said that the seventh prince is very good at playing power.

This time, countless disciples of the Night Clan were no longer so resistant to the Seventh Young Master.

More importantly, the Seventh Prince has realized that Ye Wenhe's divine power has been damaged after losing the bet. Forcing him to stay in the position of clan leader will not be effective and will be counterproductive.

However, this was just the beginning of the Seventh Prince's power play.

Next, the Seventh Prince said: "High Priest, if the clan leader abdicates. According to your Night Clan's process, who's turn will take over the clan leader's position?"

The high priest said: "Young Master!"

Many Night Clan disciples nodded.

indeed so!

The Seventh Prince smiled: "In that case, I will comply with the hearts of the Ye Clan and appoint Ye Wuchen as the new leader of the Ye Clan."

what?

The crowd exploded again!

Especially Ye Feng's eyes were about to fall off.

After a night in Wenhe, come a night without dust...

Isn't this essentially the same thing?

The seventh prince knows how to play!

In full view of everyone, Ye Wuchen climbed onto the high platform and publicly accepted the edict from the seventh prince.

The Ye clan disciples from a major faction in Yewen River applauded one after another.

There was thunderous applause.

Ye Wuchen pressed his hands and spoke domineeringly: "Dear children of the Ye Clan, I, Ye Wuchen, am a native of the Ye Clan. Today, I am loved by Prince Tie, deeply favored by the emperor, and become the leader of the Ye Clan. But as the leader of the clan, I must let you Everyone is convinced.”

"According to the rules of the Night Clan, those who are capable will rise to the top. Inside and outside the Night Clan, there are many talented people within the age of thirty-five. If you are dissatisfied with my appointment as the clan leader, you can go on stage and fight. As long as you can defeat me , I will give up my position as patriarch immediately, without any ambiguity!"

"However, if no one under the age of thirty-five can defeat me, then I will be the clan leader! Everyone present must obey my orders."

These words were recognized by most people in the Night Clan.

Reasonable and compliant.

If Ye Wuchen only relied on nepotism to get to the position, everyone would inevitably be dissatisfied.

But if the younger generation is the strongest, everyone will be convinced.

Ye Wuchen is also very good at playing.

Ye Wenhe said with a smile: "Dear disciples of the Ye clan, my son is already a strong man in the nine-star soul-making realm. You must think carefully before taking the stage."

As soon as the words came out, the whole place fell silent.

Nine-star soul-making realm!

Who dares to take the stage?

There was only a sound of flattery.

Ye Zichen couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to walk out of the crowd.

Swish!

Xiao Beichen, who was wearing a black cloak, stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Zichen back: "You will die if you go up."

Ye Zichen was furious: "But..."

Xiao Beichen said calmly: "I'll do it."

After saying that, Xiao Beichen was about to walk out of the crowd.

suddenly--

Click!

The door of the worship hall suddenly opened.

A stunning beauty in a purple dress slowly walked out.

Beautifully dressed in purple, with extraordinary temperament and peerless elegance.

It was Mu Ziyan.

She stepped on high heels, walked through the crowd step by step, and slowly stepped onto the stage: "I'll do it!"
