Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

High Priest Lan Yan and High Priest Xuan Feng were secretly delighted. The Crown Prince and Princess Anguo were indeed young and easy to talk to!

With these two speaking up, Emperor Cangxuan will likely agree.

The moment the two had this thought, the Crown Prince changed his tone and said, "However, such sincerity is enough to win back the daughter of the High Priest of Xuanling, but it cannot win back the wolfish ambitions of those who intend to collude with other princes, secretly bestow treasures, and incite them to seize the throne."

Ying Hengzhi once secretly bestowed my Northern Xuan Treasure upon the Third Prince, intending to incite him to seize the throne. You two Southern Barbarian envoys should be well aware of the crimes she committed!"

The expressions of High Priest Lan Yan and High Priest Xuan Feng immediately stiffened slightly.

They never expected there to be such a reason behind it.

However, the Xuanling lineage has been severed, and they must bring back the only remaining bloodline of Xuanling.

This is not only about the bloodline of Xuanling, but also about a legend of the Southern Barbarians.

Legend has it that a woman of destiny, the Chosen One, will emerge from the Xuanling lineage and influence the fate of the four kingdoms. This Chosen One will stand at the pinnacle of the four kingdoms.

High Priest Lan Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "I never expected her to make such a grave mistake."

Since the Southern Barbarians want her back, they are naturally willing to pay the price; this is our sincerity.

"Very well, I didn't expect the Southern Barbarian envoy to be so straightforward. Since that's the case, then I, Bei Xuan, will not be coy."

"If you want people, then bring out one hundred of each of your Southern Barbarian's rare and precious herbs, ten pairs of each of the top ten Gu worms on the Southern Barbarian Gu Worm Ranking, three million taels of silver, and five thousand catties of rare jade..."

The more High Priests Lan Yan and Xuan Feng listened, the stiffer their expressions became.

Bei Xuan is asking for an exorbitant amount!

It increased several times over.

Leaving aside the silver and jade, just the fact that each of the top ten Gu worms on the list is like robbing them of their entire fortune!

The top ten Gu worms on the list are all nurtured with the heart's blood of Gu masters.

Each one was hard-won, almost equivalent to half of a Gu Master's life.

Bei Xuan could say ten pairs at a time.

And those hundred rare and precious herbs would be even more devastating for them.

The reason why the natural treasures of the Southern Barbarians are called natural treasures is because each one is over a thousand years old.

Some are even the perfect materials for raising venomous insects; each one used is one less available.

That Crown Prince of Beixuan is really ruthless; he makes them bleed as soon as he opens his mouth.

But they absolutely cannot welcome back the chosen one unless they agree.

High Priest Lan Yan was about to grit her teeth and agree when Emperor Cangxuan laughed and said, "My son is very kind!"

High Priest Lan Yan and High Priest Xuan Feng almost cursed out loud, "Great kindness my ass!"

Suddenly, Emperor Cangxuan's eyes turned cold, and his smile sent a chill down their spines.

"I also want eight more of your Southern Barbarian Fire Gu!"

Instantly, Lan Yan and Xuan Feng's expressions changed.

The Chi Huo Gu is a unique Gu worm of the Xuanling lineage. Now that the Xuanling lineage is almost extinct, the Chi Huo Gu has become a rare and precious item.

They now only have nine left.

Moreover, the fact that Emperor Cangxuan mentioned eight immediately made them wonder.

Then Emperor Cangxuan said, "I have been afflicted with the Chi Huo Gu for many years. Fortunately, a master was able to remove the Gu and save my life. However, my beloved wife and mother-in-law both died from the Chi Huo Gu."

Even my father-in-law nearly lost his life to this Gu. I suppose you Southern Barbarians have plenty of Chi Huo Gu, otherwise you wouldn't have used four at once, and specifically targeting my family.

Now, I'm only asking you for eight. Is that too much to ask?

As he asked this, Emperor Cangxuan cast a chilling glance at Lan Yan and Xuan Feng.

There was a naked threat in those eyes!

The color drained from Lan Yan and Xuan Feng's faces as they suddenly realized that Bei Xuan was utterly ruthless and heartless.
