Princess Zhaoping: "!!!"

This disobedient lackey!

According to royal rules, she should have her dragged out and beaten to death immediately!

But when she thought of Lin Shuang's incredible abilities and the purpose of her trip to the Northwest, Princess Zhaoping swallowed her anger.

As long as she can get that bandit away from her Xi Ye brother, she doesn't mind suffering some grievances.

Once she wins Xi Ye's favor, he will help her get revenge for all these grievances!

Ensa City.

After witnessing Shang Xiye's ability to summon "divine punishment," the common people and soldiers revered him as a god, lining the streets to kneel and worship him, welcoming Shang Xiye, Ji Fengyao, and the army of Da Zhao into the city, and no longer resisting.

“Your Excellency, those spineless cowards have already let the Ninth Prince and his men into the city. They are heading towards the palace. Your Excellency should hide for a while,” Dikanlong’s trusted confidant rushed in from outside the palace, panting as he advised.

Dikanlong, however, sat leisurely on his throne and said slowly, "Bring me a set of ordinary clothes. The Ninth Prince is the chosen one of heaven, and I will personally kneel to welcome him."

"Your Excellency, you..." The confidant was momentarily stunned and didn't quite catch his breath.

"Hurry up and go!" Dikanlong urged impatiently, showing no sign of the dejection or frustration of a king whose kingdom had fallen.

He remained composed and dignified, as if Ensa City had merely received a guest from afar who deserved a grand welcome, rather than someone whose country had been destroyed and who needed to kneel and beg for mercy and submit.

Despite his confusion, the confidant still served his master with utmost care.

The palace of the Di king was wide open.

Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao led a large number of people from Dazhao into the palace, advancing unimpeded.

Di Kanlong, dressed in plain clothes, led a group of concubines in the same plain clothes to kneel respectfully before the court. Upon seeing Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao arrive, he immediately shouted loudly, "Welcome, chosen one of heaven! I am willing to submit to the will of heaven and to the Great Zhao, and to the Ninth Prince. I voluntarily go to the Great Zhao to serve as a soldier and subject. I hope that the Ninth Prince and His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhao will not abandon me!"

Oh ho!

The king of the Di Kingdom is quite perceptive!

They surrendered without the slightest resistance!

Ji Fengyao had no interest in these matters of power and hierarchy. She glanced at Di Kanlong and the others, then looked elsewhere.

There are so many demonic cultivators in the Di Kingdom.

This is the royal palace of the Di Kingdom.

There must be a lot of good stuff hidden there!

Shang Xiye felt that Di Kanlong's attitude changed too quickly and became too calm.

But Dikanlong was indeed obediently kneeling to welcome them with his entire family, and there were no ambushes around them, showing no sign of resistance.

Even though Shang Xiye felt something was amiss, he couldn't find any fault with Di Kanlong for the time being: "Since you have the intention to submit, I am not a cruel and bloodthirsty person. Men, take King Di and his family to the palace to rest. After the spoils of war are counted, we will invite them back to the capital for the Emperor to decide."

"Your Highness, I can't tell whether this guy has any cultivation or not." Ji Fengyao pretended to be carefree and not paying attention to Di Kanlong, but secretly she sent a telepathic reminder to Shang Xiye.

Shang Xiye also calmly transmitted his thoughts to Ji Fengyao: "There's definitely something strange about this guy. No matter what kind of trouble he's up to, we'll play along. Let's observe the situation and retreat strategically; that will be more effective."

“Just like me, my little Jiu and I have a tacit understanding.” Ji Fengyao smiled and glanced back at Shang Xiye playfully. The two exchanged a sweet look.
