Chen Nian smiled and said, "I'm fine!"At that moment, Lihua lifted her head, which had been bowed. Tears streamed down her fair cheeks. She quickly wiped them away and said, "Be careful!" The sincerity and fear of a woman in love felt truly heartwarming.Chen Nian nodded in agreement.Immediately, everyone on Fei An's side felt relieved. Although some hadn't dared to hope too much, it was all they could wish for. After all, they couldn't enter the barrier formation.There was no other fighting between them now; this was a battle between two powerful individuals. Clearly, they would submit to the stronger one. If Xue Rui won, it would be a victory for the Xue Clan and its followers. If not, they could only beg for mercy.Life indeed holds more value than pride. Yet, some value pride more than life itself.Neither way of thinking is wrong!"I'm impressed by your defense, which can withstand an Immortal Human-level attack! Join me. We can become the strongest, with you and me as leaders

News of the Fei Clan's victory spread rapidly to every corner of the nation, like a lightning strike. All allies of the Xue Clan surrendered and offered compensation for the development of the new Empire, which would soon be announced.The common people rejoiced upon hearing that the Fei Clan had won. Those who were older had experienced and could distinguish what good leadership was like. They only hoped that Fei An, as the next Emperor, would be better and not become corrupt like Xue Lengkong, who only wanted his own Clan to prosper.Chen Nian requested that his name not be mentioned among the contributors. He still wished to remain humble and feel at ease when walking around. Because if the Fei Clan publicized that he was the most meritorious person, many parents would bring their daughters to ask for marriage. It was indeed a necessity for parents to marry their children to strong individuals.That would be troublesome, and he certainly didn't want it.After all matters in the Imp

Fei An gathered one hundred troops, all of whom possessed strength at the third stage of the Celestial God level from the Fei Clan, to fulfill his promise.Before the war began, he had promised to help Chen Nian rescue his fiancée. Now that he had ascended the throne and would soon announce the change of the Empire's name.He smiled as he looked at all the gathered people. Currently, he sat on the throne; the Imperial crown hadn't been worn by him yet because the new crown for the Emperor was still being made. He immediately addressed the hundred people ready for duty: "The Shen Clan is an ally of the Xue Clan, and that Clan has kidnapped our benefactor. What should we do about that? Are you willing to help the Fei Clan's benefactor?""We are willing!" they answered in unison."Then go to the north, split into several groups. Don't raise suspicion here. I believe they have spies who would have reported the events here earlier, although it's a bit strange that they haven't taken any ac

Chen Nian sat down when invited by Xuan Min. He looked at Xuan Min and placed the empty glass in his hand on the table. Immediately, Xuan Min ordered the waitress beside him to pour the wine."Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Nian. I come from a faraway place—the Long Empire across the sea! I heard Young Master Xuan Min holds the title of Demon Slasher and is famous for the great sword he possesses. I greatly enjoy studying remarkable weapons. Could I take a look at it or even touch it? Of course, this isn’t free. You may ask for one thing in return, as long as it doesn’t involve the girl with me.""Hahaha, I never expected my fame to spread across the sea. I’ve also wanted to visit that region but haven’t found the right time yet. How fortunate that we meet, and now I have a friend to visit. Well... If it’s just looking and a slight touch, it’s no problem. This is the Great Sword I found in ancient ruins while adventuring with someone long ago." Xuan Min waved his hand, and a

"I'm fine, what about you? I heard you were poisoned!" Traces of worry were visible on Lan Lihua's face."That small poison is no problem. Now we have to pay for the damages and leave before those powerful individuals notice," Chen Nian said calmly, still smiling casually. Indeed, that small poison couldn't possibly affect him. He was actually fortunate this time to obtain the sword his teacher wanted. This could also be considered completing a mission.Chen Nian spoke to the owner of the small restaurant. Even though the owner was still hiding, Chen Nian could clearly sense his position. "I'll leave some money to compensate for the damages!" After saying that, he immediately invited Lihua to leave. Of course, he wasn't afraid if those people pursued him, but there was a more important task awaiting.Lihua nodded and said, "Let's go!"The restaurant owner came out after more than half an hour had passed. He stood facing the table and found a shiny ring. He checked its contents and was
