"This matter is already a foregone conclusion, unless you want Dongling Nation to perish," Dongfang Xuan said coldly. The only country Dongling Nation could rely on now was Beiyang Nation.
Dongfang Qing bit her lip and asked, "Brother, is there really no other way?"
"Unless our Dongling Kingdom can produce another Jindan cultivator," Dongfang Xuan said calmly. If he had a choice, how could he bear to let Qing'er marry far away to Beiyang Kingdom, marrying the legendary Third Prince Xuan Qing, whose temper was said to be unpredictable?
Dongfang Qing lowered her head and remained silent. She knew this was impossible, otherwise Xiqi and Nanxiang wouldn't be so brazen.
"How do we get to the Nine Nether Valley?" Zhan Yihan asked. They needed to recover their cultivation as quickly as possible to find the woman in red. It was very likely that the woman in red would also go to the Nine Nether Valley, so they had to recover before she did.
"The Jiuyou Valley is not far from Beiyang Kingdom, but what are you going there for? It is very dangerous. As soon as you enter, you will be killed by the immortal master guarding the underworld." Dongfang Xuan said.
"We are also immortal masters, but our cultivation is restricted by the rules here." Su Jinyue said. Since the other party knew about the cultivators, she had nothing to hide.
"What? You are immortal masters?" Dongfang Xuan and Dongfang Qing looked at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan in shock. No wonder they looked so extraordinary.
Su Jinyue nodded, "Do you know where there is spiritual energy?"
"Spiritual energy?" Dongfang Xuan and Dongfang Qing asked in confusion. They had never heard of spiritual energy before.
"That's where the Immortal Master stays," Su Jinyue said. Where there are cultivators, there must be spiritual energy.
"I only know about the Huatian Sect of our Dongling Kingdom, the Liuyun Sect of Beiyang Kingdom, the Jinglei Sect of Xiqi Kingdom, and the Dacheng Island of Nanxiang Kingdom," Dongfang Xuan said. As the future ruler of Dongling Kingdom, he still needed to understand the situation of various countries.
"Is this place closer to the sect? Or to the Nine Nether Valley?" Zhan Yihan asked. If they wanted to recover their cultivation as quickly as possible, they definitely needed to find a place with rich spiritual energy.
"It's closest to the Liuyun Sect," Dongfang Xuan said. If they were truly immortal masters, then perhaps Dongling Nation could be saved.
"Can you take us to the vicinity of Liuyun Sect or give us the specific location?" Zhan Yihan asked.
"I'll go with you," Dongfang Xuan decided. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he absolutely couldn't waste it.
"Thank you!" Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue expressed their gratitude.
"Masters! If you have recovered your powers, could you please do me a favor? I don't want to marry into Beiyang Country. Could you please help Dongling Country overcome this difficult time?" Dongfang Qing pleaded with Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. As long as Dongling Country could overcome its difficulties, she wouldn't have to marry into a foreign country.
Su Jinyue thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay." As a woman, she understood how it felt to be unable to marry the one she loved. As long as they could recover their cultivation and kill the woman in red, helping them would be a piece of cake.
"Thank you, both immortal masters!" Dongfang Qing thanked them gratefully.
Dongfang Xuan waved to one of his men, and when the man came over, he ordered, "Full speed ahead!"
"Yes!" The subordinate responded and ran quickly towards the cockpit.
"Two immortal masters, please rest inside first. We will call you when we arrive." Dongfang Xuan said respectfully to Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue.
Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue nodded and followed Dongfang Xuan and Dongfang Qing into the cabin.
As soon as the two entered the room, a maid brought clean clothes. Their clothes were all wet, and they were unable to use their spiritual sense or take the clothes in the space.
"If you two immortal masters need anything, please tell us directly and we will not disturb you anymore." Dongfang Xuan said respectfully and left the room with Dongfang Qing.
When they arrived at Dongfang Xuan's room, Dongfang Qing closed the door, walked happily to the opposite side of Dongfang Xuan and sat down, "Brother, if the two immortal masters are willing to help our Dongling Kingdom, do I not have to marry into the foreign kingdom?" She could marry Ye without the need for a marriage alliance.
Dongfang Xuan nodded calmly. "That depends on whether the two immortal masters can reach the Golden Core stage. Otherwise, even if they want to help, they'll be powerless." If they rejected Beiyang Nation's offer, they would be facing three Golden Immortal stage immortal masters. If Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue weren't strong enough, Dongling Nation would be doomed. Therefore, he couldn't rashly cancel the engagement, let alone agree to Qing'er's request, without first confirming Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan's abilities.
Dongfang Qing's good mood disappeared immediately, "I believe in the strength of the two immortal masters." She now placed all her hopes on Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan.
"I hope so!" Dongfang Xuan sighed. He also hoped that Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan could help them overcome the difficulties, but their opponents were too strong.
The big ship was sailing quickly on the calm sea. Day and night alternated, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhan Yihan opened the door and was about to go to Dongfang Xuan with Su Jinyue to ask about the situation when he saw Dongfang Xuan and Dongfang Qing walking over.
"Masters! We've already reached the border of Beiyang State. We'll be able to land tomorrow morning," Dongfang Xuan said with a smile. These days, he and Qing'er often chatted with Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. He'd learned a lot from them, especially Zhan Yihan's insights into military strategy, which had been immensely beneficial.
"Yeah." Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan nodded.
"The sun's about to set, let's go watch it," Dongfang Qing suggested. She'd been on this ship for almost three months, spending all day sleeping in her room and chatting with her brother. Going up on deck to watch the seascape was boring, but despite the boredom, she still loved watching the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening.
"Okay." Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. She was about to disembark, and her mood had brightened. She only hoped to recover her cultivation quickly, find the woman in red, and reclaim the Golden Leaf Realm.
