Now that his relationship with the Martial Saint of the Human World has been made public, if the Emperor of Liyang were to send someone to assassinate him at this time, he would obviously become the target of public criticism!
At that time, not only will I send troops to leave Yang, but even the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm will certainly not let it go!
Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang would never take such a risk, unless he was insane or stupid!
Xu Xiao sighed and said, "Jinshan, your analysis makes a lot of sense! But no matter what, since someone has chosen this moment to deal with me, they want to get rid of me! Hmph... I will remember this debt!"
Li Jinshan said with lingering fear, "Thanks to the jade pendant left by the Martial Saint of the Mortal World, but that night was truly dangerous. If it weren't for the jade pendant left by the Martial Saint of the Mortal World protecting you, I'm afraid you would have been in danger that night, Your Highness!"
Xu Xiao sighed deeply, "If we hadn't allied ourselves with the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, the Li Yang royal family would have attacked Bei Han, and we wouldn't be so carefree now! In any case, allying with the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm was a wise move..."
Just then, Wei Shuyang came up to the two of them and said with some surprise, "Your Highness, why don't you go downstairs and take a look?"
"What happened? Why do you look so strange?" Xu Xiao asked, puzzled.
Wei Shuyang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness should go and see for yourself!"
Xu Xiao frowned and followed Wei Shuyang downstairs. At this moment, the entire first floor of the Qingchao Pavilion and the area outside the courtyard were piled high with gifts! The quantity was enormous!
"Your Highness, please take a look for yourself!" Wei Shuyang said, pointing to the gifts.
Even someone as remarkable as Xu Xiao was speechless upon seeing these gifts, exclaiming, "These are all generous gifts from various sects!"
I glanced around and found a collection of rare and precious items, some of which were even more abundant than the treasures in the royal palace's storeroom!
These are all expressions of sincerity from various parties!
"The actions of these various powerful forces are intended to tell Your Highness that they did not attempt to assassinate you..."
"At this moment, the sects that have some grudges against the prince are probably in a panic, fearing that they will be suspected..."
Wei Shuyang said calmly.
Xu Xiao sneered, "What they fear is not just being suspected, they are afraid of Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal World!"
Xu Xiao knew perfectly well that these martial arts forces were terrified of offending the Martial Saint!
Li Jinshan exclaimed, "Such treasures! It seems that our decision to pledge allegiance to the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm was absolutely right!"
Xu Xiao nodded, expressing his sincere respect and admiration for the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm!

On the Snow Moon City Wall, Baili Dongjun and Situ Changfeng stared with utter despair at Xu Weixiong, who was dressed in a striking red outfit and had a cold gaze...
She rode her steed, and although she looked up at Baili Dongjun and Situ Changfeng on the city wall, her aura remained undiminished. A sharp and domineering aura emanated from her, as if she wanted to devour the Snow Moon City.
This gave Baili Dongjun and Situ Changfeng a strange headache, especially Situ Changfeng!
He sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Xu Weixiong!
"Second Princess, what... what do you mean by this!"
Baili Dongjun looked at Xu Weixiong and said, feeling quite helpless. Things had only just calmed down, and this woman was back again. It seemed she really wanted to fight.
"Lord Baili, please don't be agitated. This princess has no ill intentions; she simply has something she needs to discuss with you!"
Xu Weixiong said with a smile.
Baili Dongjun and Situ Changfeng exchanged a glance. This woman was too difficult to deal with; she was probably after Li Hanyi again!
"Please speak, Second Princess!"
Baili Dongjun and Situ Changfeng exchanged a glance before speaking.
“Lord Baili, Lord Situ, you two are asking questions you already know the answer to. I came here today to see Li Hanyi…” Xu Weixiong frowned slightly.
"I apologize, Second Princess, Han Yi is currently in seclusion for cultivation and cannot receive guests at the moment!"
Baili Dongjun and Situ Changfeng both shook their heads.
"Ah!"
Xu Weixiong chuckled lightly; she had already guessed as much. She said coldly, "Two city lords, are you really going to refuse?"
Baili Dongjun and Situ Changfeng exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Second Princess, we truly cannot help you..."
"Ha, going into seclusion at this crucial juncture? Are you trying to fool three-year-olds? This princess advises you two to bring Li Hanyi out, otherwise this princess won't hesitate to tear down your Snow Moon City!" Xu Weixiong's eyes turned icy cold as he stared at the two and shouted.
Baili Dongjun and Situ Changfeng looked very grim, because behind Xu Weixiong were Chen Zhibao and the murderous Great Snow Dragon Riders!
If we were to fight head-on, even if we won, the losses would likely be extremely heavy!
"Second Princess, why are you doing this?"
Baili Dongjun smiled wryly.
Xu Weixiong said indifferently, "Why bother? What does City Lord Baili think I'm doing? I just want one question from Li Hanyi. The Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm has treated him this way, so why is she still avoiding me? I, Xu Weixiong, am not satisfied. I must find out! So, even if it means mutual destruction, I will see her!"
Baili Dongjun remained silent.
Situ Changfeng retorted angrily, "Second Princess, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm is an extremely esteemed figure. Han Yi may have her reservations, but you shouldn't be so aggressive..."
"Besides, how can we outsiders understand matters of the heart? You're making things difficult for me. Furthermore, Han Yi is the second city lord of Snow Moon City, and I won't tolerate you bullying her!" Situ Changfeng sneered.
"Hahaha…."
Xu Weixiong burst into laughter upon hearing Situ Changfeng's words!
After laughing, she looked at Situ Changfeng and said coldly, "I, Xu Weixiong, am not the kind of person who pushes others. I just want to know clearly, I just want to know if Li Hanyi likes him? No matter what, make it clear!!"
Upon hearing this, Situ Changfeng immediately fell silent!
Because Situ Changfeng knew that what Xu Weixiong said was true!
He knew Xu Weixiong's personality; once she made up her mind, not even nine horses could pull her back!
Since she dared to do this, it proves that this has always been her goal. If she can't find out Li Hanyi's attitude towards Ye Fan, she definitely won't give up!
"Lord Baili, Lord Situ, I just want Li Hanyi to tell me in person what her true feelings are for Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite and storming into Snow Moon City!"
"Xu Weixiong, you've gone too far!" Baili Dongjun said with a gloomy face.
"Hmph, so what if I go too far? The Northern Snow Dragon Riders are invincible, who dares to stop them!" Xu Weixiong said coldly.
"My Snow Moon City fears no one, and my Snow Moon City is no weakling!" Baili Dongjun roared!
Xu Weixiong smiled and said, "You two city lords, have you forgotten that Bei Han is now under the command of Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm?"
Do you think I'm afraid?
Xu Weixiong waved his hand, and the Northern Cold Iron Cavalry moved in perfect unison, all their swords, spears, and halberds pointing at Baili Dongjun and Situ Changfeng!
"Sigh~"
Baili Dongjun took a deep breath, cold sweat beading on his forehead!
The current situation is really bad!
Situ Changfeng was also covered in sweat.
This time it’s really troublesome!
Snowmoon City is under siege, and the city is in imminent danger.
If Bei Han hadn't sided with the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, they might still have dared to attack him. Now, the situation is truly dire...
Xu Weixiong looked at Li Hanyi, who still did not show himself, and said coldly, "The Second City Lord of Snow Moon City is nothing more than this! He doesn't even dare to show his face. Your Li Hanyi is not worthy of our Martial Saint..."
Chapter 113 The person who assassinated Xu Xiao, and the major case from back then, ∫>韭§“寺―
The night in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was both quiet and bustling.
Brightly lit, filled with singing and dancing, a scene of bustling prosperity.
Restaurants and eateries on every street corner were packed with customers, creating a lively atmosphere.
However, on a certain quiet street, there was a sense of desolation and loneliness, with not a sound coming out.
This is the back gate of Changsun Wuji's residence. It is already late at night, and apart from two guards, the surroundings are eerily quiet.
A figure draped in a black cloak, obscuring their face and features, silently emerged from the corner.
The guards on both sides became alert upon noticing the approaching strangers and drew their swords.
The man simply showed a token, and the two guards immediately sheathed their weapons and bowed respectfully.
"My master has been waiting for a long time!" One of the guards opened the door, while the other guard opened the door while looking around warily.
The cloaked figure ignored them and strode forward.
The two guards exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.
They soon arrived at Changsun Wuji's study and gently knocked on the door.
"My lord, the person has been brought..." The guard who opened the door lowered his head and looked meek.
"You may step back now. I will take care of things myself," Changsun Wuji said calmly.
The two guards responded and withdrew, closing the door behind them.
The candlelight flickered in the room, illuminating that aged yet still vigorous face.
"What did the Emperor of Liyang send you here for?" Changsun Wuji asked bluntly.
"I am here on behalf of the Li Yang royal family to join forces with the Tang Dynasty."
"Now that the Northern Cold King has allied himself with the Human Martial Saint, his strength has greatly increased. Given his abilities, what happened back then will likely be exposed sooner or later. We must come up with a foolproof plan."
