Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 697 It’s useless to talk more
"Don't worry, the Qin Emperor won't come looking for trouble for me now."

Faced with Qin Yu's invitation, the Empress shook her head and declined.

This seemingly harmless remark from the auspicious creature made Tu Yaoyao and the Flower Fairy guess something. Fortunately, both of them were at the Half-Saint Realm, with detached minds, and wouldn't care too much about such things.

However, if they enter the natal space, wouldn't Qin Yu's little wives be able to guess everything?

How will I face their strange looks and how will I face Xiao Ling'er's innocent eyes?

"Ok?"

Qin Yu was somewhat puzzled.

From their first meeting in front of the Endless Fire Domain, and the Emperor Summit three thousand miles away in the Chaos Sea, he could tell that while Emperor Qin might not be exactly vengeful, he was definitely not someone who would let things go easily.

Now that the Qin Emperor has achieved the status of a Venerable One, he will inevitably seek revenge against the Empress for past grievances.

"The Venerable One is revered as the supreme being of all things, and similarly, he also needs to shoulder greater responsibilities."

The Empress remained calm and said, "An envoy from Tianfu has arrived, and Emperor Qin will be going to Tianfu Continent."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately felt relieved.

With the revival of the Great Dao, the overall strength of the human race's powerful individuals has reached a new level. However, in the Tianfu Continent, unknown to countless cultivators in the Immortal Kingdom, an even greater crisis is looming.

Now that a Venerable One has emerged in the Immortal Kingdom Continent, the Heavenly Abundance Continent will naturally invite him to visit.

The crisis facing the Tianfu Continent is related to the rise and fall of the human race, and the Emperor naturally needs to shoulder this responsibility.

"How long will it take?"

Qin Yu asked.

"Enough for me to wait until the Heavenly Tribulation arrives."

The Empress sensed the three people's concern, paused for a moment, and then responded.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, thinking of the records about the Venerable Tribulation, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

When the Heavenly Tribulation arrives, will the Empress be able to overcome it?
However, faced with the Qin Emperor's threat, His Majesty seemed to have no other choice.

do not care!
Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time. If all else fails, we'll bring the Empress back to her natal space and forcibly interrupt the heavenly tribulation.

At worst, we can help the Empress improve her physique further, and wait until she is absolutely certain before she comes out to face the heavenly tribulation.

He had already tried this when he first condensed his nascent soul.

The natal space is a special space that does not exist on any known continent.

Heavenly tribulations cannot pass through the barrier of the Great Dao and descend upon one's natal space.

……

Emperor Qin's breakthrough and attainment of the Emperor's position stirred up a storm throughout the entire Immortal Kingdom continent.

Countless cultivators from the Great Qin Dynasty were excited and overjoyed, and even cultivators from the other eight immortal kingdoms were extremely proud of this.

The appearance of the Emperor is not merely an honor for a single immortal kingdom, but a joyous occasion concerning the prosperity of the entire human race.

Even the major ancient clans are experiencing mixed feelings of joy and sorrow at this moment.

The good news is that with the addition of an Emperor, the human race's position will be more secure.

What is worrying is the Qin emperor's domineering style of doing things for more than a thousand years.

Since the Qin Emperor ascended the throne, four ancient clans have perished at the hands of the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom and the Kong family.

Among them, the most worried is the ancient Bai family!

Bai Huan sat atop the main peak, his body covered in array patterns.

Since sensing the arrival of the Venerable Heavenly Tribulation, he dared not relax in the slightest and immediately took up his post at the core of the Thousand Leaves Locking Heaven Formation.

In this way, as soon as he senses anything unusual, he can immediately activate the Thousand Leaves Locking Heaven Formation.

According to the message left by our ancestors, the Thousand Leaves Locking Heaven Formation can withstand the invasion of the Venerable when it is 70% repaired.

Now, thanks to Qin Yu's further repairs, the clan's protective formation has been more than 80% restored. In theory, it should be able to withstand even a Venerable's full-force attack. However, considering the Qin Emperor's majesty, Bai Huan dared not be careless.

At this moment, they could only hope that the Qin Emperor wouldn't be in such a hurry to cause trouble for the Bai family.

The spying on the Imperial War was really just a misunderstanding!
Alas, if I had known that Emperor Qin would face the Heavenly Tribulation of the Venerable so quickly and even succeed in overcoming it, I should have spared no effort to ask Qin Yu to completely repair the Thousand Leaf Locking Heaven Array.

Unfortunately, the Empress was wary and wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. In fact, her great-granddaughter, whom she had summoned, didn't even get to see Qin Yu.

Two perfectly good betrothal gifts were transformed by the Empress into an enormous favor.

“Elder Huan, the clan elders can take charge of the formation. If anything unexpected happens, it’s not too late for you to intervene.”

Looking at the figure sitting in the center of the formation sighing, Bai Lan couldn't help but speak up to offer some advice.

"What do you know? The might of the Emperor is not to be underestimated!"

Bai Huan didn't even glance at Bai Lan. This guy is the clan leader, yet he has no sense of crisis whatsoever. The Bai family will be ruined by him sooner or later!

"Old Huan, what exactly happened when you went out last time?"

Bai Lan was taken aback and asked with some confusion.

Logically speaking, even if the tribute is refused, wouldn't it be enough to compensate several times the amount in return?
Moreover, the Qin Emperor had already achieved the highest rank of emperor; surely he wouldn't be so petty?

The Supreme Elder's concern alerted Bai Lan to something amiss.

"What could possibly happen if I, this elder, went directly to the capital of the Great Yan Empire to have your son-in-law repair the formation?"

Bai Huan's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

Bai Lan remained unmoved, her gaze fixed on Bai Huan, as if trying to discern some clues from the latter's expression.

"presumptuous!"

"Bai Lan, do you think this elder would lie to you?"

Bai Huan's expression changed slightly, and she scolded him.

"That was not what I meant…"

Bai Lan was almost certain that things were definitely not as simple as the Supreme Elder had said.

"Then what do you mean? Do you think this elder would go and challenge the Qin Emperor?"

Bai Huan glared and puffed out his cheeks, looking heartbroken.

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that he had misspoke and immediately turned his head away.

"Elder Huan, you wouldn't actually go looking for trouble with Emperor Qin, would you?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Lan's heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed drastically.

"In your heart, am I, an elder, so foolish?"

Bai Huan glared at him, and seeing the latter's almost certain look, his expression changed. After a long while, he sighed and said softly, "This elder didn't do it on purpose..."

"Elder Huan, please tell me what happened so that I and the elders can think about it and see if there is any way to salvage the situation."

Bai Lan was stunned. So you really did offend the Qin Emperor last time you went out?

You are truly the supreme elder of my Bai clan!

"As I said, I didn't do it on purpose. Who knew that Emperor Qin would happen to go and cause trouble for Emperor Yan?"

"So, the Qin Emperor believes that the elders are intentionally interfering in the Imperial War?"

Bai Lan trembled all over, and her voice even trembled slightly.

That was the first emperor, and now he's a terrifying existence who has become an emperor!

Although the Bai family is strong, surely the Supreme Elder shouldn't be so arrogant?
Do you really think the Emperor can't lift a sword anymore?
"At this point, there's no point in saying more."

Bai Huan decided to stop pretending and waved his hand, saying, "Go and study the incomplete formation. My Bai family has a clan-protecting formation. Even the Emperor might not be able to do anything to my Bai clan."
