The southern barbarians froze in place, completely unable to react for a moment.

Their wooden horse paled in comparison to Bei Xuan's iron horse!

Moreover, their wooden horse cracked and shattered with just a light bump from the iron horse.

The hearts of the southern barbarians are bleeding.

The southern barbarians felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

That was a replica of the ancient wooden horse, a legacy of their Southern Barbarian Kingdom, created with the combined efforts of their entire nation.

They had never heard of the iron horses of Beixuan before, and these iron horses were truly formidable.

That's incredibly powerful!

With a wave of his hand from his iron horse, Duke Chang Le sent nearly a hundred Northern Xuan soldiers off the iron horse and onto the wooden horse.

On the iron horse, a row of archers nocked their arrows, the tips of which were coated with realgar, and aimed them at the large snake at the waist of the southern barbarian.

The southern barbarians' faces were deathly pale. Standing together, they looked like chicks being bullied by a bully, their previous arrogance completely gone.

Even the large snakes with their claws outstretched and tongues flicking seemed to sense a threat at this moment.

Seeing the Northern Xuan soldiers board the wooden horses like bandits entering a foreign land and begin unloading the treasures on them, Lan Yan, Xuan Feng, and the other Southern Barbarian envoys immediately became anxious.

"Your Majesty of Beixuan, the treasures have arrived. Could you first hand over the Xuan clan bloodline of my Southern Barbarians to us?"

Emperor Cangxuan was very generous and said, "Of course, my Beixuan has always been a man of his word."

After Emperor Cangxuan finished speaking, he looked at Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince.

Ying Yufu's eyes crinkled into a smile as she said, "Chong'er, Granny Cao, bring Ying Hengzhi over here!"

Everyone: Lead?

Then, a person wearing iron chains was led out of the sedan chair behind Ying Yufu.

Ying Hengzhi had become much thinner, with a black iron ring around her slender neck, which was chained to her hands and feet.

She was dressed in a maid's outfit, and her hair was styled in a servant's bun, making her look quite pitiful.

The southern barbarians' eyes welled up with tears upon seeing this scene.

Their chosen one, how dare she be so insulted!

Ying Yufu said, "Ying Hengzhi, haven't you long wanted to return to your hometown? Now go there, and from now on, you can be with the people of your hometown."

Ying Yufu pushed Ying Hengzhi towards the Southern Barbarians.

Ying Hengzhi stumbled and fell to the ground. She turned to look at Ying Yufu and said, "You haven't removed the chains from my body yet."

Ying Yufu laughed and said, "That's your business, Southern Barbarians. You Northern Xuan people should remove the treasure yourselves, and you Southern Barbarians should untie the chains on your bodies yourselves. That's fair."

Ying Hengzhi had to wear this iron chain whether she was sleeping or taking a bath, and she was already suffering terribly from the wear and tear of it.

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger appeared in her eyes. She got up and walked towards the southern barbarians.

She had no other choice; the southern barbarians were her only way out.

Just then, System 008's voice rang in her mind: "[Useless host, your chains are made of ancient black iron, and the Southern Barbarians cannot open them.]"

Furthermore, the lock on the iron chain is a complex, nine-aperture lock; only those who know the method can unlock it.

Ying Hengzhi's steps toward the southern barbarians suddenly froze.

She stared wide-eyed, frozen in place.

In an instant, tears of despair welled up in her eyes.

When Lan Yan, Xuan Feng, and the other Southern Barbarian envoys saw Ying Hengzhi walking towards them, a hint of eagerness flashed in their eyes.

The chosen one, this is the chosen one that the Southern Barbarians have been waiting for for so long.

"Child, come here quickly!"

High Priest Xuanfeng waved to Ying Hengzhi with a kind expression.

Ying Hengzhi struggled internally. No matter what, she couldn't afford to offend the Southern Barbarians again. No matter what, she had to get there first.

Ying Hengzhi gritted her teeth and resolutely walked over.

"Miss, let me help you cut these damned chains!"

A southern barbarian guard raised his sword, grabbed the iron chains binding Ying Hengzhi, and slashed down.

With a clang!

Sparks flew, and the sword in the southern barbarian's hand broke in two.

The broken sword fell to the ground, but the iron chains on Ying Hengzhi's body didn't even leave a mark.

The southern barbarian's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Ying Hengzhi's eyes reddened as she said, "She used rare iron, which is difficult to cut with ordinary swords and knives. Moreover, the lock on this iron chain is not an ordinary lock either; it cannot be opened with ordinary methods."

The group of Southern Barbarian envoys looked at the iron chains on Ying Yufu's body. Lan Yan grabbed the lock on the iron chain, stared at it for a long time, and then looked at Emperor Cangxuan with a livid face.

"Your Majesty of Beixuan..."

Emperor Cangxuan was in a good mood as he looked at the Northern Xuan soldiers who were constantly carrying treasures onto the iron horse.

He said, "In my opinion, the so-called exchange is about equality. My Northern Xuan will unload the treasures themselves, and your Southern Barbarians will unlock them themselves. Each will rely on their own abilities and display their unique skills. It's very fair. Southern Barbarian envoys, don't you agree?"

Lan Yan choked, lowered her eyes, and said, "His Majesty Bei Xuan is right."

The group of southern barbarian envoys fell silent for a moment.

They were filled with regret; they really shouldn't have provoked Bei Xuan.

At least on the surface, one should not offend Bei Xuan.

The treasures on the wooden horse have been removed. The Northern Xuan soldier said, "Your Majesty, there are a total of 321 kinds of rare and precious materials from the Southern Barbarians, with 100 plants of each kind. The inventory is complete, and the list matches up."

"Your Majesty, the silver is three million taels, and the inventory list matches."

"Your Majesty, the precious jade weighs one thousand catties, that matches up."

"Your Majesty, we are still short of ten pairs of each of the top ten Gu worms on the Southern Barbarian Ranking, as well as eight Chi Fire Gu."

Emperor Cangxuan looked at the Southern Barbarians.

On the wooden horse, Lan Lie, Wu Shuang, and the others were already utterly horrified. They pressed something and a suspension rail descended, allowing them to step off.

Upon seeing this, Bei Xuan immediately sneered.

The southern barbarians dared not look into the mocking eyes of the northern Xuan people.

"Lan Lie! Wu Shuang!"

Lan Yan let out an angry shout.

Lan Lie and Wu Shuang walked up to Lan Yan, their postures respectful.

Lan Yan looked at them sharply and said, "You deliberately made things difficult for Bei Xuan before, which angered Bei Xuan and caused them to send out their iron cavalry. Why don't you quickly apologize to His Majesty Bei Xuan?"

Lan Lie and Wu Shuang no longer dared to be arrogant. They didn't even dare to show any resentment and obediently bowed in the direction of Emperor Cangxuan to admit their mistake.

"Your Majesty, we were arrogant and rude before. We now know we were wrong and sincerely apologize to Your Majesty. We hope Your Majesty will not hold it against us!"

Lan Yan stepped forward at the opportune moment and said, "Your Majesty Bei Xuan, our Southern Barbarians have indeed made many mistakes, but we have all paid the price."

We urge Your Majesty Beixuan to have Princess Anguo remove the chains binding that child, and we will offer up all the Gu worms.

From this day forward, the Southern Barbarians will never again provoke the Northern Xuan.

A cold glint flashed in Emperor Cangxuan's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Beixuan has never provoked or offended other countries."

However, if other countries bully Bei Xuan, Bei Xuan will retaliate tenfold.

Since the envoy from the Southern Barbarians has sincerely admitted his mistake, then I, Bei Xuan, will naturally not make things difficult for him.

"Anguo, go and unlock those chains."

Ying Yufu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
