Chương 346: Chapter 187 Reinforcements from the Xingluo Empire, Xiangjia Sect's Hu Yan Zhen_1
"Yes, President Liu also shared her plan with me like that."
"She mentioned it was a strategy to 'drive the tiger and swallow the wolf'."
Ah Yin tilted her little head, furrowing her brows, thinking and speaking simultaneously.
Although she had been reborn, she could no longer remember her past memories. Now a teenage girl, she was uninterested in those convoluted schemes, so she hadn't seriously memorized Liu Erlong's words.
After listening to Ah Yin, Qin Xiao said with a chuckle, "It seems Liu Erlong has also grown up quite a bit, to think that she now knows to use schemes to solve problems."
"Yep, yep," Ah Yin nodded vigorously, "President Liu is actually really smart..."
While speaking, Ah Yin's expression suddenly turned solemn, "Someone's coming, and they're in a hurry."
Qin Xiao asked, "How do you know?"
"The Blue Silver Grass nearby, they're all my eyes and ears, transmitting messages to me through a special way."
Right.
Qin Xiao silently chastised himself for being careless. Commanding the Blue Silver Grass, wasn't that one of the abilities of the Bluesilver Emperor?
He said with a smile, "Don't be too nervous, it's alright. The person coming is not a stranger."
"Not a stranger?" Ah Yin was taken aback, guessing, "Could it be?"
"Look, they've already arrived," said Qin Xiao, his gaze fixing on a certain location.
Ah Yin followed his gaze.
Where their sights landed, Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran's figures quietly appeared.
Zhu Zhuqing said, "Your Highness, we've searched everywhere and still have not found any traces of President Liu."
Qin Xiao nodded, "It's alright, I now know their whereabouts. You don't need to search any further. They have all gone to the Xingluo Empire."
"Zhu Qing, Yiran, you've also returned."
Looking at Ah Yin, the joy of seeing her long-missed sisters was clearly written across her face.
Similarly, Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran also revealed smiles in return.
A moment later.
Qin Xiao made arrangements, "Zhu Qing, you will accompany me to the Xingluo Empire. Yiran, you and Ah Yin will stay in Tiandou City for now."
"My lord."
"Your Highness."
Ah Yin and Meng Yiran called out in unison.
Their goal was the same: they both wished to accompany Qin Xiao to the Xingluo Empire.
Qin Xiao understood their thoughts all too well, "The purpose of my trip is to reinforce Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and others; a larger group would be inconvenient."
...
Three days later.
Within the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
The Star Luo Emperor's face revealed a long-absent smile, filled with immense surprise, "The people I've summoned have arrived?"
Then he could no longer sit still, standing up excitedly and waving his hand, "Please, invite them in quickly!"
Upon receiving the Star Luo Emperor's orders, the attendants hurried away.
After a while, the attendants returned.
However, this time, they were followed by twenty or thirty people, entering in single file.
At that moment, one man stood out from the crowd; he was big and burly, looking almost like a mountain of flesh.
"Hahaha, Xiangjia Sect's Hu Yan Zhen greets Your Majesty," he said.
"These fellows around me are all brothers and partners I've gathered," Hu Yan Zhen continued with a laugh, bowing with a fist toward the Star Luo Emperor, though his demeanor lacked much deference.
"I am the Sect Leader of Wind Sword Sect..."
"I am the Sect Leader of Fire Leopard Sect...."
"I come from the Star Luo Soul Master Family..."
Following Hu Yan Zhen's proclamation, the few people beside him introduced themselves.
Hearing their introductions, the smile on the Star Luo Emperor's face never ceased, "Patriarch Hu Yan needs no formalities. Please, there is no need for formalities from anyone. I am deeply grateful for the support you are offering at this time."
"Hahaha, what is Your Majesty speaking of," said Hu Yan Zhen.
"Besides, we're merely taking someone's money to eliminate their troubles; no one is indebted to anyone," he added, still laughing heartily.
It seemed he was very forthright.
However, after hearing Hu Yan Zhen's words, the Star Luo Emperor calmed down considerably, and the smile on his face gradually started to fade.
He knew that Hu Yan Zhen was reminding him that the reason these people came was merely a transaction.
In fact, it was indeed so.
The Star Luo Emperor had been pushed to a dead end by the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, with no way to turn to the sky or to dive into the earth.
Some time ago, the Star Luo Emperor finally came to the realization that instead of living in constant fear and insecurity, it was better to go out with a bang.
So he started to seek help from Soul Master sects and families, offering a hefty reward.
If someone could help him resolve this crisis, he was willing to bestow one quarter of the Xingluo Empire's territory to them as a reward.
"Rest assured, Patriarch Hu Yan, everything you need has been prepared," said the Star Luo Emperor, tossing forth a golden scroll.
Hu Yan Zhen caught the scroll without hesitation and unfurled it.
Gradually, his breathing quickened.
The Wind Sword and Fire Leopard Sect's experts who were beside him also craned their necks to peer at the scroll's contents, their eyes gleaming with interest.
At this moment, the Star Luo Emperor added, "The imperial edict has been prepared long ago, just as we agreed. As soon as Patriarch Hu Yan and the other powerhouses vanquish our invaders, this edict will take immediate effect."
Taking the imperial edict, Hu Yan Zhen stored it away, patting his chest to guarantee, "Alright, Your Majesty, rest assured. Your affairs are our affairs now. Don't worry about your safety, just remember that no matter who comes or how many, we'll make sure they leave here with nothing!"
Hmph, isn't it always 'no coin, no deal'? The Star Luo Emperor criticized inwardly.
He was well aware that without making such a significant offer, Hu Yan Zhen wouldn't have been so benevolent.
But outwardly, he still maintained his grin, "Hahaha, of course, I trust in Patriarch Hu Yan's abilities. Please, Patriarch Hu Yan, and all the other powerhouses, give it some more time. I have a feeling that it won't be long before they will come back again."
