Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

``` The Great Qian Dynasty spanned vast territories. It faced the Beast Emperor Sea to the east, bordered vassal states of the Western Region to the west, the ten nations of Nanhuang to the south, and only to the north was it bordering the Sword Dynasty, which was in no way weaker than the Great Qian Dynasty. In terms of national strength and powerful individuals, the Sword Dynasty was comparable to the Great Qian Dynasty. The border between the two countries lay at the Northern Ice Plains. Rich in mythical beasts and a variety of resources, the plains often became a battleground as the two countries vied for these assets. Frictions, both large and small, were frequent. This rendered the situation on the Northern Ice Plains extremely tense. Atop the Northern Ice Plains stood fortresses, specifically the Northern Bing City of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Southern Ice City of the Sword Dynasty. Positioned in opposition, with a plain of ice stretching between them, they faced each other from a distance. Their destination this time was precisely the Northern Ice Plains, situated between the two cities. Above the heavens, snowflakes fluttered unpredictably. As they approached the Northern Ice Plains, the temperature plummeted suddenly, with a vast expanse of goose-feather-like snow covering the land. A Winged Snake soared through the skies, breaking through the wind and snow, carrying Xiao Yi and his three companions as they sat on its back, their elemental energy rising and falling around them, blocking out the bitter cold snow and wind. Shen Mo had already learned of Xiao Yi's identity, and with a wry smile, said, "Your Highness, if only you had told me that this was Xiao earlier, I wouldn't have ended up being beaten up!" Though he had never seen Xiao Yi before, he had heard of Xiao Yi's terrifying combat record, especially how Xiao Yi recently went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to cure the ink dragon, earning high praise from Shen Yan. Had he known it was Xiao Yi, Shen Mo would certainly not have harbored any contempt. Yang Ling rolled his eyes, "I was going to introduce you, but you guys..." He glanced over at Bai Xue. It was Bai Xue who had interrupted his introduction to Xiao Yi just now. Shen Mo snapped out of it and glared at Bai Xue fiercely but said nothing else. Feixue Temple was the most unique among the ten major sects. Composed entirely of women, its overall strength was considered the weakest among the ten, but it was the power that all other forces were the least willing to provoke. The reason was simple; every generation of Feixue Temple disciples would marry into the other nine major sects and various forces. Shen Mo's mother and Bai Xue were both disciples of the Feixue Temple's nine elders, and by seniority, he had to address Bai Xue as his martial aunt, hence he dared not trouble her. Bai Xue, however, maintained an attitude of closed-eye meditation, as if she hadn't heard their conversation at all. The Winged Snake was in mid-flight. Xiao Yi's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Get down!" "Huh?" Everyone was taken aback and looked at him, puzzled. Xiao Yi shouted in a low voice, "Get down, now!" A chill enveloped everyone as Shen Mo's hands trembled, and without daring to question further, he patted the head of the Winged Snake and commanded, "Get down!" Whoosh! The Winged Snake flapped its wings and began to descend to the ground. Almost at the same moment that it began its descent, a cold arrow flew through the space where it had been previously. The arrow, three to four meters long, was a Feiyu Arrow, specifically designed to shoot down flying mythical beasts and aerial martial artists. With a deadly poison applied to it, a single hit would mean death even for those in the Dharma Manifestation Realm, whether human martial artists or mythical beasts. The Feiyu Arrow was often used for defending cities, intended to prevent enemy powerhouses from breaking through the defenses while in flight. Because of its formidable power, even those warriors who could fly seldom dared to risk breaking through the defenses from the air during a siege. After all, the poison on the Feiyu Arrow could kill even those in the Dharma Manifestation Realm! This was a forbidden military weapon. Not something that would be found in civilian hands. "A Feiyu Arrow?" Yang Ling's pupils suddenly constricted as he recognized the Feiyu Arrow. Cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads. If it hadn't been for Xiao Yi's timely warning to dodge, the Winged Snake would most likely have been killed by that Feiyu Arrow. "Who could it be, wielding a Feiyu Arrow?" Shen Mo was astonished and quickly urged the Winged Snake to descend to the ground. Swish swish swish! Three more Feiyu Arrows followed, each with incredible speed. Xiao Yi leaped up and exclaimed, "A Stroke That Surprises the Wind and Rain!" ``` Swish, swish, swish! Sword light tore through the air like a torrential downpour. Under the onslaught of the blinding sword rain, the three feathered arrows were all sever and gone, allowing the Winged Serpent to safely land. The moment it touched the ground, Xiao Yi ordered Shen Mo to store the Winged Serpent in the beast-controlling bag, saying gravely, "The enemy will catch up soon, hide yourselves first!" The group immediately disbanded, concealing themselves within the jungle. A moment later. Dozens of figures appeared in succession, searching everywhere for traces of Xiao Yi and the others, but they had not found any. The leader's face darkened as he said, "You useless bunch, couldn't even take them out with four feathered arrows?" "Leader, it's not our fault!" "We didn't know how they realized we were making a move..." The group looked aggrieved. "Damn it!" The leader in black gnashed his teeth, "Such a good opportunity wasted! Now that they're on guard, it won't be so easy to succeed..." "If you reveal who you are, maybe I can give you another chance!" Before the leader could finish, Xiao Yi's voice came from within the jungle. "Hmm?" The leader's expression changed drastically as dozens of people turned to look in the direction of the sound. Xiao Yi walked out with his hands behind his back, emerging from the dense forest. With a playful and cold smile on his face, he looked at the few dozen people before him and said softly, "To wield feathered arrows, there must be military personnel backing you up. Let me guess, were you sent by Yang Kun?" "Humph!" The leader's pupils shrank slightly, yet he snorted coldly without confirming it and said indifferently, "I don't know what you're talking about... We're just robbers blocking the road, have your companions come out!" "To deal with you, one of me is enough!" Xiao Yi said flatly. "Arrogant!" The leader in black sneered, "Since they're too scared to show up, forcing you to come out and die, then I'll oblige you!" Swish! The leader in black charged forward, followed closely by the dozens of men behind him. The cultivation of this black-clad leader wasn't weak either; he had reached the fourth layer of the Dharma Manifestation Realm. Among his ranks were six others at the Dharma Manifestation Realm and the rest were at least at the Tao Tribulation Realm. Dozens of men attacked simultaneously, creating an imposing manner; their well-organized formation made it clear they were hardy military warriors. Xiao Yi's face was expressionless, "If you won't speak, then shut up forever!" As soon as he finished speaking. His figure suddenly moved, like a ferocious tiger pouncing on its prey, charging directly into the crowd of black-clothed figures. A Stroke That Surprises the Wind and Rain! White herons splitting the river water! The Blue Lotus Reincarnation... Xiao Yi's sword moves flowed like clouds and water, sweeping broadly and delivering devastating power. Under the terror of his fearsome sword technique, heads flew high into the sky, and within just a few moments of breaths, not a single person was left standing beside Xiao Yi. Everyone had their heads severed, turning into headless corpses. Whoosh! Xiao Yi let out a long breath and started searching the body of the black-clad leader, retrieving a token. It bore the inscription Blood Saber! Narrowing his eyes, Xiao Yi said, "Yang Yuhuan's Blood Saber Guard? Was it him who sent people to assassinate us?" "Blood Saber Guard?" Yang Ling's face darkened as he came by Xiao Yi's side, looking at the token of Blood Saber Guard with a savage flash in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's not the king's uncle, they were sent by Yang Kun!" "Yang Kun?" Xiao Yi was taken aback. Yang Ling nodded and said firmly, "Yang Kun also has command over the Blood Saber Guard; it must be his men who were sent. Damn, I've been extremely careful, how could they still know my whereabouts? With Yang Kun's methods, he will not stop here, and I'm afraid our journey will be fraught with even more danger..." "No matter," Xiao Yi simply smiled, his gaze sharp with a trace of cold intensity, "We'll deal with the soldiers as they come, if one comes, I'll kill one, if a pair comes, I'll slaughter both... I want to see how many more he can send after us..."
