Yu Xiyan's words shocked everyone present, leaving them stunned.

"Empress Tena Dayin, if you wish to die, please don't drag us down with you!"

"This empress is undeniably beautiful, but she's not very bright."

"Quickly apologize to His Majesty, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."

Despite the ridicule and sarcasm around her, Yu Xiyan remained unfazed and refused to acknowledge Ning Ruoxue's legitimacy in ruling the Northern Region.

Lin Feng sighed and advised, "Empress Da Yin, have you thought this through? This is the Immortal Dynasty!"

"Shut your mouth! Your voice makes me sick!"

Yu Xiyan really wished she could kill Lin Feng, that beast, right away.

If it weren't for him, how could Shen Zhao and his family, or even the Yintian Dynasty, have fallen to such a state in his previous life?

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng shook his head somewhat blankly and muttered softly, "No, this isn't right. You shouldn't treat me like this."

When you see me, shouldn't you speak softly and gently, showing concern and care, as if afraid I might suffer the slightest grievance, and even wishing you could give yourself to me completely? How could you possibly be like this?"

Seeing Lin Feng being scolded, Ning Ruoxue immediately stood up and said, "How dare you, Yu Xiyan, oppose the Immortal Dynasty and publicly insult my trusted minister! You're tired of living! Guards!"

Lin Feng was taken aback upon hearing this, and quickly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It seems that the Empress of Dayin has not yet realized the situation. Perhaps we should give her some more time."

Upon hearing this, Ning Ruoxue looked at Lin Feng's gentle and refined face and said softly, "But she's insulting you. I won't allow anyone to say a single word against you!"

Lin Feng gently shook his head: "It's alright. Now that you are the Empress of the Immortal Dynasty, you should consider the bigger picture."

What he was thinking was: In my previous life, I never truly won Yu Xiyan's heart, nor did I obtain the Innate Dao Body. In this life, I not only want her to be devoted to me,

Furthermore, we must utilize the extraordinary effects of her innate Dao body to open a passage to the Heavenly Realm! She still has value; she absolutely cannot die like this.

Ning Ruoxue was unaware of Lin Feng's thoughts, only believing that Lin Feng was acting in her best interest, so she asked, "Then how do you think she should be punished?"

Lin Feng said, "Why not detain Yu Xiyan for now and wait until she changes her mind and acknowledges His Majesty as the new emperor of the Immortal Dynasty before punishing her? In this way, your prestige will surely spread throughout the world."

Upon hearing this, Ning Ruoxue nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll do whatever you say."

When Yu Xiyan saw the tender and affectionate scene between the two, she felt a wave of nausea churning in her stomach.

She was blind; in her past life, she didn't cherish such a good husband as Shen Zhao, and instead fell in love with such a scumbag, even joining him in murdering the husband who had cared for her all her life.

Ning Ruoxue sat up straight and said slowly, "It seems that the Empress of Dayin has some misunderstandings about me, but it's alright. Once the Empress stays at Biyun Immortal Palace for a while longer, she will naturally understand my character."

Yu Xiyan sneered: "I reiterate, it is absolutely impossible for the Yintian Dynasty to recognize the legitimacy of your succession to the throne. I advise you to abandon those thoughts. Do with me as you please!"

Ning Ruoxue frowned slightly; she truly disliked Yu Xiyan.

But remembering what Lin Feng had just said to him, he had no choice but to calm himself down.

Among the crowd, Dugu Xin said, "The Empress of Dayin dares to ignore the threat from the Immortal Dynasty. It seems that we and Xie Wanshan are not the only ones who are clear-headed."

Hu Guangshan: "Elder, stop talking nonsense, okay? When are His Majesty and Elder Shen going to arrive? This scene is making my blood pressure skyrocket!"

Zhang Danfeng: "This scene has successfully cured my years of depression. Please, someone, break this deadlock! I love seeing a bloodbath."

Dugu Xin: "Don't worry, it should be soon. Let those two scoundrels be arrogant for a while longer. In general, the more outrageous they are in this situation, the more miserable their end will be."

On the dragon throne, Ning Ruoxue looked down at her and said calmly, "It seems that the Empress of Dayin is not feeling well today. She should go down and rest properly. Someone, please invite the Empress of Dayin back to her room and take good care of her."

After saying that, the two guards walked directly towards Yu Xiyan.

Yu Xiyan glared at Ning Ruoxue and Lin Feng with a face full of resentment.

He only came to his senses when two guards approached and said, "Please!"

"Don't touch me, I can walk by myself!"

Just as Yu Xiyan was about to turn and leave, the short guard stopped her in time and secretly flicked a pill into her hand.

Yu Xiyan was startled and looked at the armored guard in front of her, whose body shape was extremely disproportionate to hers, with a hint of doubt on her face.

"Swallow her; this is the antidote to break the seal on your cultivation."

He Yishou conveyed this in an extremely faint voice.

Yu Xiyan gripped the pill tightly, her face expressionless as she prepared to leave.

But just then, the floor covered with red carpet suddenly began to shake slightly.

The next moment, a loud bang was heard, bricks and stones flew away, and a huge pit was revealed on the smooth, flat surface.

Before anyone could react, a bald man covered in dust climbed out of the pit.

"Bald monk, quickly pull me up!"

"Finally out! I'm dying to be held back, pull me out!"

In a short while, two more men appeared in the pit, namely Liang Hao and Ding Bu'er.

And three ridiculously large packages, each as tall as three people.

In their attempt to uncover Mu Qiuyao's private treasury, the three of them smashed things up on the ground. Instead of finding the empress's private treasury, they stole valuables and treasures from the other palaces, so many that their personal storage bags couldn't hold them all.

Liang Hao went so far as to bring out the dragon throne made of priceless purple cloud ore from the inner palace, emphasizing making the most of everything.

As a result, because they were underground and couldn't find their exact location, and because they were carrying too many burdens, they ended up digging right up to the site of the grand ceremony.
