After kissing for a while, Xiao Fan let go of Qin Xuan.

"Xiao Fan, are you here to talk to me about something?"

Qin Xuan asked with a slightly blushing face.

Qin Xuan felt a little shy when kissing in the imperial study.

Xiao Fan nodded: "Senior Nuwa has already controlled Ding Ming. Athena and two thousand children are now in my space treasure."

"About two thousand people?"

Qin Xuan said in surprise.

"Yes. Ding Ming deliberately concealed the number. Even if he released a thousand children, he still had a thousand children as hostages."

Qin Xuan asked, "It would be best if we could find out from Ding Ming where each child was captured so we can send them home."

"Also, Ding Ming must not be allowed to die so easily. He must be made a public example, so that people will know the consequences of doing this."

A strong evil aura emanated from Qin Xuan.

She was very angry.

She is now the emperor of the Tianlong Empire, and those are her people.

Xiao Fan nodded and said, "I will ask Senior Nuwa to ask Ding Ming for an address. Madam, please arrange for someone to send them home."

"I'll handle Ding Mingshi."

Qin Xuan nodded.

Qin Xuan didn't object to Xiao Fan calling her "wife". It wasn't the first time Xiao Fan called her that, and she didn't mind him calling her that.

"Xiao Fan, how is Athena?"

"You have a bet with the Divine Light Empire. If Athena loses, she will become your slave girl."

Qin Xuan snorted.

Xiao Fan shook his head: "She's fine. Athena is the reincarnation of the true god. Although Ding Ming had some thoughts, he didn't dare to do anything to her."

"Um?"

Qin Xuan was stunned.

"Is Athena the reincarnation of a true god?"

Xiao Fan nodded. "That's what Ding Ming said. A phantom of the True God emerged from Athena's body. That phantom claimed that Athena was the reincarnation of the True God and threatened Ding Ming not to mess around."

"Ding Ming couldn't possibly be lying, but that phantom might be. Whether Athena is the reincarnation of the true god is still not 100% certain."

Qin Xuan asked, "Senior Nuwa can't control Athena?"

“It’s very difficult.”

"From this point of view, even if Athena is not the reincarnation of a true god, her origins are not simple. She can't really be a slave girl."

"But I might be able to get a lot of benefits from her then."

Xiao Fan said.

He had already communicated with the Zixiao Palace. Athena had practiced in the Zixiao Palace, but the Zixiao Palace had no effect on her.

"What exactly is there in the Holy Word Continent? Both the Demon God and the True God are trying to develop in the Holy Word Continent. I have a feeling that there will be a big storm later."

Qin Xuan frowned slightly.

“It is indeed very likely that there will be a big storm.”

"It's best to improve your strength before the storm breaks out."

Xiao Fan said.

Qin Xuan was worried: "You haven't awakened yet. Even if you have powerful subordinates, if you are not strong yourself, you will easily be ambushed."

"Don't worry, if I awaken, I might be able to surpass you soon."

Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"System, sign in!"

Xiao Fan said in his mind.

It has been four days since he last signed in. He now has a certain amount of imperial luck, so signing in at the palace should be quite effective.

"Successful sign-in. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5,000 Black Tortoise Guards. All of these Black Tortoise Guards have the cultivation level of Martial King."

"The commander is at the late stage of Martial Emperor cultivation, the two deputy commanders are at the mid stage of Martial Emperor cultivation, and the five captains are all at the early stage of Martial Emperor cultivation."

The system's voice sounded in Xiao Fan's mind. At the same time, a large amount of information about the Xuanwu Guards also flooded into Xiao Fan's mind.

The Death Legion is large in number and good at attacking; the Black Tortoise Guards are small in number and good at defending important places like the Imperial Palace.

If they encounter an enemy, they can unite to defend in a very short time.

"Wow, this reward is really good."

Xiao Fan was surprised.

There are five thousand Xuanwu guards with cultivation of at least Martial King level, including thousands of Martial Emperors. This is an extremely powerful force.

The strength of the Tianlong Empire's guards is quite good, but it is far inferior to the 5,000 Xuanwu guards that Xiao Fan obtained by signing in.

"Madam, do you want to replace the palace guards?"

Xiao Fan smiled.

Qin Xuan was normally quite safe in the Tianlong Empire's palace, but these days, demigod-level strongmen began to appear.

"Change the palace guards?"

Qin Xuan was puzzled. "Replacing the palace guards with death knights? I feel like the evil aura of those death knights is a bit too strong."

"And unless there are a lot of them, their fighting power probably won't be much higher than the current palace guards, right?"

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "It's the remaining power of Nuwa, which is hidden in my space treasure. Do you want to see it?"

"Um."

Qin Xuan nodded.

Naturally, she wouldn't worry that Xiao Fan would do anything bad to her.

Whether Xiao Fan wants her or Jiangshan, she can give it to him directly.

Soon Xiao Fan and Qin Xuan arrived in the system space.

"Greetings, young master."

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

In front of Xiao Fan and the others, five thousand Xuanwu guards knelt on one knee and said in unison that the aura on them was only at the Linghai Xuandan level.

A small number of Martial King and Martial Emperor levels.

The Xuanwu Guards have one very powerful point: they are very good at hiding their aura, and even the powerful Martial Emperors cannot detect them.

"Xiao Fan, their strength doesn't seem to be strong."

Qin Xuan sent a message to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Soldiers, show your true strength!"

"boom!"

A powerful aura burst out from the five thousand Xuanwu guards.

Qin Xuan was stunned. She had the cultivation level of the Late Martial Realm and could easily tell that all these Xuanwu Guards had the cultivation level of the Martial King Realm.

Among them, there are thousands of Martial Emperor level ones.

There are eight Emperor Wu levels.

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, they are the Xuanwu Guards. They are good at hiding their aura and defending. They can set up a very strong defensive formation in a very short time."

"And some of them are women, suitable for guarding the palace."

Having said this, Xiao Fan looked at the Xuanwu guards.

"Try setting up the formation!"

The five thousand Xuanwu guards acted quickly, and in just two or three seconds, they had set up a Xuanwu formation with amazing defense.

“So strong.”

Qin Xuan was shocked.

Xiao Fan chuckled and said, "The Xuanwu formation that all of them have set up together is enough to withstand the attacks of a late-stage demigod."

"Where are the half?"

Qin Xuan asked.

Xiao Fan said: "Half of the people have the defense power of a mid-stage demigod."

Qin Xuan smiled and said, "Then I only need half the number of people. The palace is currently short of some palace guards."

Xiao Fan shook his head.

"I'll give you four thousand Xuanwu Guards, and I'll leave only one thousand. I won't be in any danger staying in Langya Immortal Mansion."

"Even if I want to leave, Zhuang Yan has the strength of a late demigod."

Qin Xuan wanted to say more, but Xiao Fan frowned and said, "There's no room for negotiation on this matter. If anything happens to you, the consequences will be very serious."

"Do we listen to me or you in our family?"

The five thousand Xuanwu guards looked on, and Qin Xuan blushed slightly: "I'll just listen to you, okay?"
