On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Nalan Yanran.

The eldest daughter of the Nalan family in Nancheng.

He is also a recognized genius among the younger generation in Nancheng.

Several months ago, she had already broken through to the Martial Master realm, although she still lost to Wang Jiuxiao in battle.

However, its strength should not be underestimated.

After recognizing the other person, Liu Fuyao nodded politely.

"Miss Nalan."

The two weren't very close.

However, the Nalan family did provide some assistance to Liu Fuyao.

Nalan Yanran walked up to Liu Fuyao, glanced at the badge on her body, and said in surprise.

"An eight-star martial artist?"

"Miss Liu's cultivation speed is truly beyond the reach of others."

Nalan Yanran exclaimed sincerely.

She remembered that the last time they were in the gymnasium, Liu Fuyao had only recently broken through to the seventh star.

It's only been a little over a month.

He actually reached the level of an eight-star martial artist.

Moreover, judging from his deep and concentrated aura, he has probably reached the peak of the eighth star and will soon break through to the ninth star.

"Miss Nalan, you flatter me. I was just lucky."

Liu Fuyao responded calmly.

Nalan smiled gently.

Seemingly noticing her low spirits, he pointed to the sword mark in the distance.

"Miss Liu, what brings you here?"

Logically speaking, as a disciple of that senior, Liu Fuyao didn't need to come and pay homage to the senior like them.

"Yes, I just came to take a look."

"I just arrived too."

Nalan Yanran turned her head and said softly,

"I truly hope that one day I can possess such power, to split mountains with a single sword stroke, and slay demons and monsters—how exhilarating that would be!"

After speaking, she turned to look at Liu Fuyao.

"Miss Liu, since we've run into each other, why don't we go for a drink together?"

"I know a nice coffee shop nearby. I also have some questions about cultivation that I'd like to discuss with Miss Liu."

Liu Fuyao initially wanted to refuse.

But seeing the sincerity in Nalan Yanran's eyes, he still nodded and said...

"it is good."

……

At the same time.

Nancheng Martial Arts Association.

Top floor, the president's office.

The atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Lei Qianjue paced back and forth in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his hands behind his back.

Just now, he received an urgent coded telegram from the Jiangnan Provincial Headquarters.

The content was only one sentence long, yet it was incredibly heavy.

He Taiqing, president of the Taihe Provincial Martial Arts Association, may have already secretly departed for Nancheng. Be extremely careful!

"Snapped!"

Lei Qianjue turned around and slammed his hand on the desk.

"He Taiqing..."

"Why did that old man come in person?!"

Lei Qianjue gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

Who is He Taiqing?

That's the top martial arts master in Taihe Province, a genuine four-star Martial Emperor!

A big shot like this usually sits in the provincial government, overseeing the overall situation. Why would he suddenly come to a godforsaken place like Nancheng?

Was it to avenge Ye Liuyun?

Or...

For that mysterious Southern City Martial Emperor?

Either way, it's not good news for Nancheng right now.

The rage of a Martial Emperor.

Even the slightest leak would be enough to cause heavy losses to the entire southern city.

"President, what do we do now?"

Beside him, the secretary-general wiped away his cold sweat and asked cautiously.

Lei Qianjue took a deep breath.

"What else can we do?"

"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it!"

Immediately, Lei Qianjue turned around abruptly and gave the order.

"Pass on my orders!"

"Notify the Demon Investigation Division and Enforcement Team that all personnel cancel their leave and return to their posts immediately!"

"Everyone disperse and closely monitor all highway entrances, train stations, bus stations, and the airport in the southern part of the city!"

"If any suspiciously powerful martial artists are discovered entering the country, do not act rashly; report to me immediately!"

"In addition, activate the highest level of emergency preparedness alert, evacuate people from key areas, and prevent..."

"To prevent a large-scale conflict!"

The secretary general was startled.

"Level One combat readiness?"

"President, this..."

"Isn't this going too far? What if it causes panic among the citizens?"

"Panic is better than losing your life!"

Lei Qianjue shouted sternly.

"Do you know what it means for Martial Emperor level experts to fight?"

"That was the collapse of the heavens and the earth!"

"Even the slightest aftershock could kill a whole bunch of people! If a real fight breaks out, our resources in Nancheng wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth!"

"Yes! I'll take care of it right away!"

The secretary-general dared not say another word, quickly saluted, and hurriedly ran out.

soon.

The piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire South City Martial Arts Association.

Heavy motorcycles and armored vehicles bearing the logo of the Jimosi roared out, like a black torrent of steel, rapidly surging into every corner of the city.

The atmosphere throughout the southern part of the city.

They instantly became tense.

……

at the same time.

Nancheng International Airport.

The passenger plane slowly landed on the runway.

The hatch opened.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black Tang suit walked out slowly, blending into the crowd.

The middle-aged man looked to be around fifty years old, of medium build, and with an unremarkable appearance—the kind of person you wouldn't notice in a crowd.

But with each step he took...

The surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The ground staff who were carrying luggage and the security guards in charge of security checks all stopped what they were doing involuntarily, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests, making it difficult to even breathe.

Even the surrounding noise of people.

Everything inexplicably fell silent at that moment.

Everyone instinctively avoided the man, as if he carried some kind of invisible force field.

He is He Taiqing.

President of the Taihe Province Martial Arts Association.

A powerful four-star Martial Emperor.

Stepping out of the airport and looking at this unfamiliar southern town, He Taiqing's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Is this the South City?"

"Hmph, as expected, it's a poor, remote place."

That's the truth.

The same is true in my heart.

They held this small southern city in utter contempt.

But deep down, he was burning with rage.

During this period, the Taihe Province Martial Arts Association has completely lost face!

First, Vice President Ye Liuyun, a dignified peak Martial King, was slaughtered like a chicken in such a small place, and his body was not even recovered.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hong and others were sent to investigate.

They were completely wiped out, without even a splash.

This is simply humiliating the Taihe Province Martial Arts Association!

If we don't get our revenge soon...

How will he survive in the federal martial arts world after this?

"Heh, the mysterious Martial Emperor..."

He Taiqing narrowed his eyes.

Gazing at the faint outline of the city in the distance, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body.

"Playing tricks!"

"I'd like to see who you are, daring to kill my men!"

The words fell.

He Taiqing took a step forward.

This step seemed ordinary, but when it landed, it strangely appeared ten feet away.

Shrinking the earth to an inch!

This is a great divine power that only a Martial Emperor who has comprehended the laws of space can unleash!
