Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

By then, he will have the support in the desert, and outside, Huang Yanyao can also help him block some people with bad intentions... No matter how you think about it, this is a win-win situation.

"You're welcome." Huang Yanyao smiled faintly and shook her head, "We just each take what we need."

"If you announce this matter, I think the remaining opposition voices in the clan will die down. Using this opportunity, Chief Yushan can consolidate the power in the clan to prevent the emergence of guys like Yuyuan again."

"After that, there's no need for me to say more about what to do."

She spoke calmly and glanced at Lu Mu from the corner of her eye. He also looked over with tenderness in his eyes. As she watched, she felt a lot more relaxed.

Now that this matter has been accomplished, the many difficulties she faces in southern Xinjiang may now be resolved.

"I see."

Yushan did not dare to neglect and responded repeatedly.

"And one more thing."

"Cancel the marriage with the Moon Silver Tribe."

A hint of viciousness appeared between Huang Yanyao's brows.

"Why?" Yushan was stunned for a second and asked in confusion.

"My tribe is currently suffering from a serious loss of vitality, and the Moon Silver tribe is very powerful. This marriage is even more important now. Why do we need to do it now..."

The Quetzalcoatl Tribe needs a powerful ally in the Wuyan Desert now more than ever, and the Moonsilver Tribe is without exception the best choice.

"You don't need to say anything, just follow my instructions."

Huang Yanyao said in a cold tone, with the intention of leaving no room for argument, "The Yueyin tribe is colluding with the evil cultivators. If you marry them, you will be the ones who will suffer in the end."

"what?!"

Yu Shan's face changed and he said in shock: "Are they related to the evil cultivators?!"

"Yes." Huang Yanyao nodded. "As for how I found out, I won't go into details for now, but you have to know that the Yueyin tribe cannot be trusted."

Chapter 66: Breaking the Marriage

Yushan held the warm jade bottle tightly. The active Yulong blood essence made him feel relaxed, but Huang Yanyao's eyes were now filled with solemnity and coldness, and his heart trembled inexplicably.

The thoughts in his mind were almost in chaos.

There is no doubt that the Quetzalcoatl tribe can only stand completely on Huang Yanyao's side now. But at the banquet the night before, Huang Yanyao did not say much about the Moonsilver tribe, and did not seem to be disgusted with them. Why did she suddenly say such a shocking thing today?

Huang Yanyao said that the Yueyin tribe was colluding with evil cultivators. Whether it was true or not, Yushan had to believe it.

Because what the daughter of the Emperor said was by no means insignificant. Even if it was false, once her words spread, many people would take this opportunity to cause trouble for the Yueyin Tribe.

After all, there are many people who have grudges against the Moonsilver Tribe.

"Since His Majesty the Ninth Prince says so, then we will naturally obey."

Yushan didn't need to consider anything at all. He knew very well how important the drop of essence blood in his hand was compared to the entire Yueyin tribe.

What's more, angering Huang Yanyao and angering the Yueyin tribe are not the same thing.

The relationship between the Moonsilver Tribe and the Feathered Serpent Tribe was not good to begin with, but it was they who proposed the marriage. Yushan and the elders thought about it carefully and felt that it was a good combination, so they went with the flow.

As for now... humph.

Marriage? How could such a scumbag be qualified to discuss marriage?

"Very good, I won't hurt you, just know that."

Huang Yanyao suppressed her cold look. Yushan was very sensible. Even though she could see that the clan leader was full of doubts and suspicions, that didn't matter. As long as he could follow her plan, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. Yushan will do his utmost to assist His Highness." Yushan bowed and promised earnestly, "Yushan is willing to sacrifice the fate of the entire Quetzalcoatl tribe and swear allegiance to His Highness until death!"

Huang Yanyao curled her lips: "I don't need your words."

"I just want you to take action." She raised her eyes and stared at Yushan, her eyes flashing with a sharp edge.

"You must arrange this drop of blood properly, and then pay your salary as usual. But at the latest in half a month, I want you to start expanding."

Huang Yanyao's words made Yu Shan's pupils shrink.

"If you need anything, just tell me, I can provide you with anything."

"No matter what method you use, whether it's bribery or annihilation, in short, Wuyan Desert must obey me completely within one year."

She spoke slowly, her tone extremely intimidating, and did not give Yushan any chance to object.

The iron-blooded and cold-blooded emperor did not need to explain his ambitions to his subjects.

Lu Mu can now feel the strong desire to conquer from Huang Yanyao.

Her domineering and arrogant attitude so matched her noble and proud heart. He kept looking at her, with an imperceptible desire hidden in the depths of her eyes. The possessiveness was at work, and Lu Mu did not intend to hide it, allowing this fire to continue to rise in his heart.

"This is just the beginning."

"When I ascend the throne in the future, the Quetzalcoatl tribe will be the first to enjoy the glory under my seat."

Huang Yanyao picked up the jade cup and took a sip of wine, her phoenix eyes filled with a demeanor that looked down upon the world.

Yushan looked solemn, bowed his head, and was silent for a moment: "I obey your orders."

Needless to say.

When the Lord gives the order, I will do it.

What Huang Yanyao described to him was the path to becoming an emperor, standing at the pinnacle of the empire, overlooking billions of people in the world. It was not the first time he had heard it, but he was more shocked every time. She was only twenty years old, but she had memorized this way of conquest in her heart. It was really... not simple.

And he is also looking forward to it.

Even though this road is bound to be difficult and the Quetzalcoatl tribe may not see that day, Yushan is not a man without ambition.

From the time he was born to the time he took over the position of clan leader, he watched his clan living in the Wuyan Desert, with no way out. Now that he has finally seen the light of day, how can he not give his all?

"Report, Patriarch Baishang wants to see you."

Outside the flower garden, the guard walked in quickly and reported.

Lu Mu frowned and looked at Huang Yanyao. Her lips were pursed tightly, revealing a cold look.

"What is he here for?"

Yushan's face also looked unhappy. He had planned to find a time later to talk to Bai Shang about the cancellation of the engagement. Although he knew that Bai Shang would be furious, he would not disobey Huang Yanyao's orders. However, Bai Shang wanted to visit him early in the morning, which caught Yushan off guard.

But now that they're here, I feel embarrassed to refuse.

"Let him in and see what he wants to say. It's a good opportunity for you to make the matter of breaking off the engagement clear."

Huang Yanyao said indifferently, Yushan agreed and nodded to the guard.

But just as the guard turned around and took a few steps, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard outside the flower garden.

Bai Shang strode over the threshold, walked into the path, and headed towards the stone pavilion in the middle, his face looking extremely displeased.

Huang Yanyao leaned lazily in the chair, her posture was lazy, but there was a natural dignity, as if it was natural.

"So this is the Ninth Princess who has gained great fame in Southern Border."

Bai Shang walked in and saw three people sitting in the stone pavilion. The moment he saw Huang Yanyao, a gloom flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"it's me."

Huang Yanyao's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, then she casually blew away the foam on the surface of the wine and took a small sip.

Bai Shang felt extremely arrogant.

As expected of the Emperor's daughter, she has a very arrogant demeanor, but it seems...she's only like this to herself?

Huang Yanyao didn't like him... Bai Shang knew it just from the way she didn't even bother to give him a straight face.

It’s strange. Bai Shang believes that he has nothing to do with the Ninth Princess, so why would she be hostile to him?

"Chief Bai, why are you interested in coming to see me so early in the morning?"

Yushan stood up and smiled politely.

"Chief Yu, the noise last night was too loud. Since you and I are already future in-laws, why didn't you inform me of such a big event in advance?"

Bai Shang then looked at Yushan with a rather dissatisfied expression.

Last night, the City Lord's Mansion mobilized a large number of troops, and the true energy waves from the battle in the south of the city spread everywhere. Bai Shang himself is a cultivator at the Source Realm, so how could he not sense that battle?

Yu Yuan was killed.

He had just met the great elder last night, and this morning, Yu Yuan turned into a cold corpse. His death meant that the Feathered Serpent Tribe had lost an important arm. The two families were about to marry, which meant sharing honor and disgrace, but such a thing happened at the critical moment, and Yu Shan did not come to discuss it with him. Is this appropriate?

So Bai Shang is actually somewhat unhappy now.

"This is our family affair. Patriarch Bai, please don't worry about it. If I disturbed Patriarch Bai's rest, I will have to apologize."

"Also, regarding the marriage..."

Yushan said calmly, "My daughter has no intention of marrying, so I have decided to cancel this matter. I will return all the betrothal gifts from the Yueyin tribe later. Please forgive me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the flower garden felt as if it had fallen into an icy abyss!

Chapter 67: Falling out

When Yushan blurted out the words of breaking off the engagement, everyone in the flower garden had a very different expression.

Huang Yanyao was smiling. She put on her usual lazy attitude, supporting her cheek with her jade hands, and leisurely glanced at Bai Shang's suddenly changing face, with a hint of sneer at the corner of her mouth.

In fact, she did not have much sympathy for the Yueyin tribe. She knew, of course, that being coerced and used by the Xiexin Sect was not Bai Shang's intention, but he did not resist. Instead, he helped the evil even more. In the entire Wuyan Desert, countless tribes had been planted with the magic poison, perhaps including the Yueyin tribe itself, which had been corroded to the point of being empty.

To the Ninth Princess, this behavior was unforgivable. She had already designated the Wuyan Desert as her own territory, and the evil hands of the Evil Heart Sect had already reached her most important backyard and treasury. How could she allow it to survive?

In this Wuyan Desert, many tribes lost their lives and property, and were completely destroyed, with no one left.

Lu Mu had been quiet all the time, like a gentleman watching a game of chess without saying a word. Now he raised his eyes with a dark and unfathomable gaze. He stared at Bai Shang, the patriarch who looked like a white wolf. His calm but fierce anger had burned to an unknown degree at this moment. Bai Shang's patience seemed to have reached its limit.

"Haha, cancel? Cancel?!"

"My Yueyin tribe has good intentions in forming an alliance with you. We are planning to form an alliance in the southwest and northwest of the Wuyan Desert to defend against any unexpected events. But now you are teasing us like this. Do you really think that my Yueyin tribe is easy to bully?"

Bai Shang laughed in anger. He clenched his fists and veins bulged on his forehead, showing his rage.

His attitude was within Huang Yanyao's expectations. After all, the shame of having an engagement broken off could completely strip the face and dignity of the entire tribe. No one would want to swallow this humiliation easily. How could Bai Shang, the patriarch of the tribe, tolerate such humiliation?

In fact, Bai Shang didn't think too much about it at first. He even thought that Yu Shan must have been drunk by hosting a banquet in the flower garden early in the morning to entertain Huang Yanyao, and what he said might be irrational.

But looking at it now, Yushan's face was full of seriousness and he seemed a little apologetic, but his intention was obviously very determined. This marriage that had been arranged by the two tribes for more than a month, and even many guests had been invited, just disappeared like that.

"Patriarch Bai Shang, don't worry. This matter is not worth talking about, but this wedding will not be held anymore."

Facing the anger and questioning of the clan leader who was no longer a quasi-relative, Yushan did not lose his composure and remained calm. This was because Huang Yanyao was right next to him and he had someone backing him up. No matter how aggressive Bai Shang was, he could not be scared.

"Then Chief Yu wants to make enemies with my Yueyin tribe?"

Bai Shang narrowed his eyes and questioned in a cold voice.

Along with the words came a momentum like a white wolf howling at the moon, pressing towards Yushan.

"...I am entertaining distinguished guests here, Chief Bai, please don't lose your composure."

"The engagement has been cancelled. I owe this to Chief Bai. I've said before that I will return the betrothal gifts in full. If you want me to pay you more, I can afford it. As for other things, let's not say anything more."

Yushan frowned and slammed the wine cup in his hand down on the table. The sound of snakes, sand and wind suddenly appeared in the flower garden. The power of the two collided and rubbed against each other, creating subtle ripples.

Bai Shang no longer wanted to give him face, so there was no need for Yu Shan to continue to be polite.

He did not completely believe Huang Yanyao's words and think that the Yueyin tribe was in cahoots with the evil cultivators and that anyone could kill them. Rather, Huang Yanyao's attitude towards the Yueyin tribe was at its lowest point, which meant that the Ninth Princess had already regarded them as enemies that must be destroyed. In that case, did it matter whether they had any connection with the evil cultivators or not?

Even if it was just for the bottle of Yulong blood, Yushan had to follow her and turn against the Yueyin tribe.

There was no need to think too much about it. The cancellation of the engagement was a foregone conclusion anyway, and the news would soon spread with the expectant guests from the city until it spread throughout the desert. By then, the two sides would be irreconcilable.

This is about face and dignity, and has nothing to do with money. Once the news gets out, the Moonsilver Tribe will definitely lose face, and they will definitely think about getting back their ground, and the Quetzalcoatl Tribe will also accept the challenge.

Bai Shang was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Yushan to refute his words so fiercely. He immediately frowned and snorted, "Yushan, you just killed your great elder last night. I think you probably suffered a lot of casualties. Your enemies are everywhere, and now you want to offend us as well... Well, whatever you want."

"It's all right. When I conquer your Yusha City in the future, I will break the limbs of your daughter and give her to my son as a toy. That's fine too!"

Every word he spoke, his voice filled with murderous intent, resounded throughout the garden.

"boom!"
