Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Atop the island that served as the Huang Family's main base,

the aftermath of the clash between Xiao Yi, Li Yaofeng, and other powerful figures had left the island in ruins.

Rubble was everywhere, with smoke of war billowing into the sky.

Curling up in Xiao Yi's embrace, Lin Bingxin looked at the sheer destruction of the surrounding island, her face showing genuine shock and excitement—this was the havoc wreaked by the man she adored.

And throughout all this...

Xiao Yi had never let her go!

He had not allowed her to suffer even the slightest injury.

The last shred of resistance in Lin Bingxin's eyes crumbled. Until now, she had been concerned about affecting the relationship between Xiao Yi and Fang Qingzhu and had always suppressed her feelings for him.

But now...

After this battle,

Lin Bingxin no longer wished to restrain her emotions.

She clung to Xiao Yi, never letting go.

Xiao Yi naturally felt the change in the woman in his arms, slightly furrowed his brow, and sighed lightly, "Bingxin, everything here has been resolved!"

"Hmm!"

Lin Bingxin nodded and then reluctantly let go.

But her gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yi; faced with this, Xiao Yi could only pretend not to notice and walked straight over to the cages.

"Lord Protector!"

"Thank you, Lord Protector, for avenging the Huang Family!"

"Xiao Yi, I always knew you did all of this for me..." Huang Tianfang's eyes shone as he looked at Xiao Yi. Seeing Lin Bingxin standing next to Xiao Yi, Huang Tianfang angrily said, "You bad woman, why are you so close to Xiao Yi? Stay away from him..."

Lin Bingxin: "..."

She had long known Huang Tianfang was deeply infatuated with Xiao Yi.

But she never expected him to be so bold and arrogant.

"Drag this insolent child away..."

Huang Feihu's face was ashen, and in a low growl, black as anthracite, the guards immediately came forward, covered Huang Tianfang's mouth, and dragged him away. Huang Feihu then breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Xiao Yi with a bitter expression, "Lord Protector, all this is due to my lack of discipline. Please forgive my shortcomings!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand, already accustomed to ignoring Huang Tianfang, and then said, "In this battle, Changsheng Sect's three Great Tiangang Elders and an Earthshatter Elder have all met their demise in Southern State, as well as two Earth Venerate Realm experts from the Nantian Holy Institute. The Nantian Dynasty's successive two commanding generals have also perished at my hand. Surely the forces behind these powerful figures won't let things lie; it's likely that the turbulent seas might become a route of retreat for Xiaoshanhe Institute. From now on, Mr. Huang will be tasked with even more arduous duties..."

All of this was intelligence Xiao Yi pieced together after slaying Nantian Bao and others.

Before this,

Nantian Holy Land, Nantian Dynasty, and Changsheng Sect might still have been wary of Baiyu's influence, and wouldn't dare send powerful masters openly to deal with him and the Daqian Dynasty.

But now...

This time, all three powers had lost many masters.

Specifically, the Changsheng Sect had three Earth Venerate Realm masters perish.

The Nantian Holy Land and Nantian Dynasty also had two people die in battle.

The Earth Venerate Realm!

For any force, that was an extremely precious cornerstone.

The death of such masters would absolutely not be taken lightly by their backing forces.

Before this,

Of the three powers, only the Nantian Dynasty had a direct conflict with Xiao Yi, and tracing Xiao Yi's connection to Baiyu wouldn't be so easy.

But now...

With the addition of Changsheng Sect and Nantian Holy Land, with the means at their disposal, the relationship between him and Baiyu could likely be exposed soon.

Once they learned they had no support from Baiyu behind them, Xiao Yi anticipated that the next thing to greet him would be a storm-like retaliation, not to mention the mysterious Changsheng Sect and Nantian Holy Ground, just the power owned by the Nantian Dynasty alone was not something the current Daqian Dynasty and Xiao Yi could contend with.

Huang Feihu was startled, then nodded emphatically, "Rest assured, Venerated National Guardian, I will immediately have someone build a new base on Greenfish Island..."

He had also lingered in the Chaotic Sea Region for many years.

He was naturally very clear about the forces controlled by several major powers, and once they were truly prepared to retaliate against the Daqian Dynasty and Xiao Yi, it was bound to be a thunderous strike.

Xiao Yi glanced at Huang Feihu, extremely satisfied with his response.

Greenfish Island, located in the extreme east of the Chaotic Sea Region, was very far from the Southern State.

Even if the Nantian Holy Ground and the Nantian Dynasty wanted to retaliate against them, it would not be so easy, and more importantly, the Star Pavilion relic that Xiao Yi had discovered in the past was located there. Once the remnants of the Star Pavilion were excavated, it could be turned into a new base, becoming the stronghold of the Daqian Dynasty and Xiaoshanhe Institute.

In the flick of a finger by Xiao Yi.

A beam of spiritual light entered Huang Feihu's brows, causing his body to tremble with disbelief while also wearing an expression of eagerness and excitement, "Venic, Venerated National Guardian, this, this is..."

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "Do good work for me, and I will not let you down!"

Gulping down his saliva, Huang Feihu patted his chest firmly, "Rest assured, Venerated National Guardian, Huang Feihu will lay down his life and loyalty, never to betray!"

"Your words are enough for me!"

Xiao Yi nodded with a smile, then glanced at Lin Bingxin, "Bingxin, I wish to return to the Daqian Dynasty, you..."

Lin Bingxin hesitated for a moment.

She was inclined to follow Xiao Yi back, but she understood that her cultivation level could not assist Xiao Yi in any way, and after hesitation, Lin Bingxin bit her lip lightly and said, "I will assist Mr. Huang here, ensuring that the stronghold of the Daqian Dynasty and Xiaoshanhe Institute is impregnable..."

Seeing this.

Xiao Yi did not press her, but instead gave her several dozen mystical Crystal Stones, saying, "These trinkets can help you rapidly improve your cultivation level, strive to reach the Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm early, and then I will give you a surprise!"

On the side, Huang Feihu's eyes showed envy.

He naturally knew what that surprise was — the soul of immortality that all powerhouses dream of!

Just like he had just received!

However...

Huang Feihu's thoughts, apart from envy, dared not include any other intentions, and he said solemnly, "Rest assured, Venerated National Guardian, even if Feihu dies, he will never let Miss Bingxin suffer any harm!"

"Thank you!"

Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction.

After giving some instructions, he gathered Ye Heng and the others into the warship and set sail, embarking on his journey back to the Daqian Dynasty.

This return...

Was destined not to be peaceful.

The Nantian Holy Ground.

The Nantian Dynasty.

The Changsheng Sect...

Each one of them was a colossus in front of the Daqian Dynasty, whose mere movement could shake the foundation of Daqian.

For the Daqian Dynasty to face these three major powers was akin to being in rough seas, with an uncertain future.

However...

That was just Xiao Yi's nature.

If others do not offend me, I do not offend them; if others offend me, I will retaliate!

Regardless of how powerful and terrifying these three major powers were, if they dared to act against Xiaoshanhe Institute and the Daqian Dynasty, then they would be crossing Xiao Yi's bottom line.

Even at the cost of a hundred deaths, he would peel off a layer of their skin!

Moreover...

Xiao Yi now was not without any trump cards, just the two-thirds of the mysterious lake water and the more than ten thousand mystical crystals in his hands, each was a possible game-changer!

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with a fighting spirit, "As for who will take the prize, that remains to be seen!"
