"Very well, then it's settled. You lead your troops back. I have a feeling that the Western Regions are truly about to descend into chaos."

Wu Xingyun looked up at the sky and said slowly.

Li Qiushui mustered her courage at this moment and stepped forward to speak.

Chapter 277 Li Canghai: Give Me Some Face

Wu Xingyun looked at Li Qiushui with a cold smile, wondering what she could say.

Li Qiushui said, "I can also make the decision to merge the Western Xia Kingdom into the World Association."

"You really have the nerve to say that." Wu Xingyun was ashamed of Li Qiushui. Back then, Li Qiushui seduced Li Yuanhao, the ruler of the Western Xia Kingdom, and then secretly murdered him, which is how she became the de facto ruler of the Western Xia Kingdom.

However, the Western Xia Kingdom in this world is close to the Tianshan Mountains and outside the Jade Gate Pass, so it is quite large. Wu Xingyun accepted the offer, "Alright, you can send someone to make the handover with Xiong Ba later."

Li Qiushui felt certain; she knew she had survived this time.

The golden eagle king swooped down, its body measuring fifteen meters in length, and standing upright it was over ten meters tall—it was truly awe-inspiring.

"Let's go back to Lingjiu Palace."

She was the first to fly onto the back of the Golden Eagle King.

Then there are Lin Zhu and Li Canghai.

Shi Feixuan, Qin Mengyao, and Jin Bingyun had no choice but to follow.

Li Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief, 'Hurry up, hurry up.'

Wu Xingyun said coldly, "You wretch, why aren't you coming up here?"

"What did you call me?" Li Qiushui was stunned. Calling her a slut to her face was really disrespectful.

Xiong Ba and Dugu Yifang kept their eyes down, pretending not to hear anything. This was Wu Xingyun's family scandal, and they couldn't afford to listen to it.

Wu Xingyun narrowed his eyes. "It seems you still don't understand your place." He reached out and grabbed her, unleashing his true power. Li Qiushui was helplessly pulled onto the back of the Golden Eagle King, and all her acupoints were instantly sealed.

"Little Gold, let's go."

Upon receiving the order, the Golden Eagle King leaped ten zhang high with a push of its feet, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky, stirring up a whirlwind on the ground.

A golden shadow streaked past.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they saw Lingjiu Palace and then landed on the plaza.

In the square, three enormous golden pillars lay there.

This is a fortune of 4.5 billion taels of silver, a truly enormous sum representing more than two years of fiscal revenue for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, this only includes the fiscal revenue of the central government of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and does not include the local revenue, such as that of the Prince of Qin, the Prince of Ming, and the Prince of Lingnan, who are financially independent.

If these are taken into account, the Great Zhou's fiscal revenue would be much more than that.

If the money of Lingjiu Palace were used to recruit soldiers, it could at least build an elite army of 100,000 men.

These elite soldiers are no ordinary soldiers; each one has undergone rigorous external training and is capable of lifting a boulder weighing thousands of pounds.

Through external cultivation, internal energy is generated naturally, and then it is used to form a battle formation.

An army of 100,000, led by an unparalleled commander, would be a force even a terrestrial deity would avoid.

Military formations are an extremely powerful and unconventional method.

However, there are no such talents in the Western Regions.

They arrived at Lingjiu Palace, and Li Qiushui was grabbed by the back of her collar and pulled down by Wu Xingyun.

This time, we've lost both face and dignity.

Wu Xingyun looked at Lin Zhu and said, "I have something to take care of. It's inconvenient for you to watch over it. Go and arrange accommodation for these three girls. They can stay right next to you."

"Huh?" Lin Zhu was taken aback. 'What do you mean? Living next door to me, Grandma, what are you up to?'

Wu Xingyun ignored his doubts. 'What do you know about Grandma's wisdom?'

Immediately afterwards, she sent a message in the group: "All the maids in the palace, gather at Xiaoyao Palace. Grandma has a good show for you."

Lin Zhu asked directly, "Grandma, what about the other three? Are they going too?"

Wu Xingyun shook his head, "You should take the three of them to the Zizai Hall."

"Alright!" Lin Zhu could only agree, feeling very curious about how Wu Xingyun would deal with Li Qiushui, but he figured he wouldn't kill her.

However, it might be more painful than killing her.

They left, and Lin Zhu also left with Shi Feixuan and the other two.

Qin Mengyao asked curiously, "Are you the only man in Lingjiu Palace?"

Lin Zhu answered as she walked, "Yes, is there a problem?"

Qin Mengyao thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Indeed, there's no problem, it's very harmonious."

She chuckled softly, her figure slender and graceful, her waist straight, dressed in coarse white cloth, exuding a healthy and pure beauty.

Lin Zhu didn't appreciate this kind of beauty; she felt that the woman was referring to her. "I feel like there's something hidden in your words."

"No, not at all." Qin Mengyao shook her head. "You're so beautiful that you don't seem out of place at all in Lingjiu Palace."

Lin Zhu glanced at them out of the corner of her eye and saw that Shi Feixuan and Jin Bingyun were both nodding.

These two are just as beautiful as Qin Mengyao.

Shi Feixuan was wearing a blue robe and carrying an ancient sword on her back.

Jin Bingyun, on the other hand, was dressed in yellow.

Each of the three has their own unique charm.

Shi Feixuan exudes an ethereal aura, Qin Mengyao is pure and holy, and Jin Bingyun is the gentlest of all.

Perhaps because of her gentle nature, Jin Bingyun is the one who is most easily moved by emotions among the three.

Lin Zhu said calmly, "I'll take that as a compliment."

Qin Mengyao smiled gently, "I was just praising you!"

Of the three members of Cihang Jingzhai, she was the most clear-headed and least influenced by Buddhist thought.

Shi Feixuan was the one most affected.

The two teachers were different.

Shi Feixuan was constantly being lectured by Fan Qinghui.

Yan Jing'an spends most of her time in seclusion, usually only teaching Qin Mengyao and Jin Bingyun martial arts. She doesn't have the energy to teach them about their thoughts and just lets them read Buddhist scriptures on their own.

Although Qin Mengyao and Jin Bingyun are outstanding disciples of Cihang Jingzhai just like Shi Feixuan, they are not as close as their own disciples.

Fan Qinghui didn't pay much attention to the teachings of these two, so they weren't brainwashed too much.

This is the first time that Fan Qinghui has taken these three people out of Cihang Jingzhai.

As a result, Wu Xingyun intercepted him on his first attempt.

Lin Zhu still didn't know what Wu Xingyun wanted to do with the three of them. Did he intend to change their values?

"Why are you shaking your head?" Qin Mengyao asked.

The four of them had already arrived at the Zizai Hall and gone up to the second floor.

Lin Zhu said, "It's nothing. You can choose any room to stay in. I'll stay in the master bedroom."

The three women tacitly chose three rooms side by side.

Meanwhile, Wu Xingyun had already brought Li Qiushui to the Xiaoyao Palace.

She glanced at Wang Yuyan, who was present, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Canghai, the following scene is not suitable for you and Yuyan to watch. You should go to the Zizai Hall."

"Grandma!" Wang Yuyan looked at Li Qiushui with some worry, then turned to look at Wu Xingyun, her eyes filled with a hint of pleading.

"Senior sister, please give me some face," Li Canghai pleaded.

Wu Xingyun waved his hand, "Don't worry, I made a mistake, but I will definitely not kill her. However, she must bear some of the consequences. Of course, I will not cripple her martial arts."

Li Canghai knew Wu Xingyun's character; he was a man of his word. If he said he wouldn't harm Li Qiushui, he definitely wouldn't.

Since it won't cripple her martial arts, then everything is fine.

Suddenly, she realized something and said, "You're not going to plant a life-or-death talisman on her, are you?"

"Hey, that's a good idea." Wu Xingyun's eyes lit up. "Canghai, you've reminded me."

Li Qiushui couldn't speak yet, but her eyes were already wide open.

If she's been cursed with a life-or-death talisman, it's better for her to die.

Chapter 278 Grudges Settled

This was not Li Canghai's original intention.

Wu Xingyun waved his hand, "Alright, I won't plant the Life and Death Talisman on her. You two can leave now."

Li Canghai was relieved to hear this. Since Li Qiushui would not die and would not be implanted with the Life-and-Death Talisman, they were no longer so worried about the rest.

Wu Xingyun released Li Qiushui's speech-deafening pressure point.

"Wu Xingyun, what are you going to do?" Li Qiushui knew Wu Xingyun; she was sure Wu Xingyun had even more cruel ways to torment her.

Wu Xingyun had indeed planned it all out, saying, "You'll find out soon enough." Her smile was very happy as she stared at Li Qiushui, as if admiring a fun toy.

Li Qiushui was both anxious and angry. This feeling of waiting to die made her think that she would rather die now.

After Li Canghai and Wang Yuyan walked away, Wu Xingyun struck Li Qiushui with a palm.

White strips of cloth were wrapped around the eaves.

"Wu Xingyun!"

Li Qiushui screamed, and her voice could be heard throughout the entire Lingjiu Palace.

"Hahaha!"

Wu Xingyun laughed wildly, "You wanton slut, how do you feel now? You like to be seen by others, right? Now I'll satisfy you."
