16: The decision of the Hanhai Dynasty to marry Ye Xuan?

"Your Majesty, the Ye Family Ancestor is a Saint. Although our Hanhai Dynasty is powerful, our strongest individual is only a Half-Saint, making it impossible to be an opponent for a Saint. If we forcibly make an enemy of him, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating our own strength."

One of the Imperial Princes spoke with some hesitation.

"Let's just surrender."

Another King with a different surname chimed in, forcing himself to agree.

"Yes, yes, yes, I think it's better for us to surrender and submit to the Ye Family."

Another person, who was already timid, naturally raised his hand in agreement since others had spoken.

"Your Majesty, a Saint is invincible. Now that Ye Xuan has just achieved a Breakthrough to Saint, he still has five thousand years of life. This means that the Ye Family's future achievements will certainly not be limited to Tianmu Province."

"The Ye Family's future achievements are limitless. If we can rely on the Ye Family, then at that time, our Hanhai Dynasty can naturally ride on the Ye Family's coattails and soar."

This general had clearly already planned to surrender, and not only that, he had even thought of the reasons for surrendering.

As soon as these words were spoken,

most of the people present had their eyes light up and nodded in agreement.

Only a few Imperial Princes, who were truly unwilling, did not want to surrender in their hearts.

However, they really couldn't think of any counter-measures, so they could only remain silent.

"You..."

Yun Tianyu closed his eyes, so angered by these people that he couldn't speak.

The Hanhai Dynasty had a Legacy of over a hundred generations.

Could it be that when it reached his generation, they couldn't even protect their own foundation and had to rely on others?

"Brother, why don't we try a different approach? How about a marriage alliance between Ruier and the Ye Family? Ruier's Aptitude is unparalleled, and her Physique is even the Myriad Spirits Dao Body."

"With her Aptitude, becoming a Saint in the future will not be difficult."

Just as Yun Tianyu didn't know how to choose,

a slightly hoarse voice sounded, shocking many Imperial Princes present.

"Second Brother!"

"Prince of Sword Wielding!"

Yun Tianyu was the first to stand up and look at the newcomer.

The other Imperial Princes also stood up, looking at the middle-aged man walking towards them with extreme respect.

He was a man who looked a bit unkempt, even somewhat sloppy, with disheveled hair.

However, everyone present dared not underestimate him.

Because he was the strongest person in the Hanhai Dynasty.

A Half-Saint! The Prince of Sword Wielding, Yun Tianming, was also the younger brother of the Imperial Lord, Yun Tianyu.

"Second Brother, you want Ruier to have a marriage alliance with the Ye Family? Ruier possesses the Hanhai Dynasty's most exceptional Physique. Her Physique is extremely special; even in the Eastern Desolate Lands, her Physique can rank among the top ten."

"In the future, she has a great possibility of becoming a Saint, or even a Great Saint, and it's not impossible for her to contend for the supreme position. If she were to marry into the Ye Family just like that, wouldn't our Hanhai Dynasty suffer too great a loss?"

Yun Tianyu couldn't help but speak, his brows tightly furrowed.

Ruier, or Cloud Hua Pistil, was his daughter. She was not old, but her Physique was extremely special, and her Aptitude was extremely strong.

Born with Dao rhyme, her Cultivation faced no obstacles or restrictions; as long as she had enough power, she could achieve a Breakthrough. She was naturally close to the Great Dao, and Opportunities accompanied her.

No matter what kind of Cultivation Technique she Cultivated, she could easily comprehend it.

Her Aptitude was so high that it was comparable to a Holy Land Saintess.

Such a Tianjiao Disciple, as long as no accidents occurred and she grew smoothly,

would definitely be able to become a Saint in a few hundred years.

Therefore, such a hope for the rise of the Hanhai Dynasty, a future Saint,

if she were to be sent to form a marriage alliance with the Ye Family just like that,

wouldn't their Hanhai Dynasty suffer too great a loss?

Originally, surrendering was for the purpose of becoming stronger.

As a result, before surrendering, they would have to send out the hope of their Family's rise.

This was truly too much of a loss.

"Hmph, Brother, others don't understand this point, but do you not understand it either? I was also a Prodigy in the Hanhai Dynasty back then. At a young age, I had already comprehended the Infinite Sword Intent, and my strength soared."

"Everyone at that time predicted that I would become a Saint within five hundred years, but what was the result? I still only achieved Half-Saint. To become a Saint, the price to pay is incredibly difficult."

"There are as many Tianjiao Disciple in the world as there are hairs on an ox, and there are some with Physiques similar to Ruier's, but how many truly grow up?"

"Moreover, even if Ruier can eventually grow up, it will take a hundred years. But now, the crisis of our Hanhai Dynasty is at hand. If we don't resolve it quickly, let alone Ruier becoming a Saint,"

"whether we can even survive for half a year is a question."

Yun Tianming frowned as he looked at the Imperial Princes and generals who were still harboring selfish motives, and he reprimanded them without ceremony.

"This... But, Brother, Ruier is in the prime of her youth, and her talent is extremely strong. Aside from the Old Ancestor Ye Xuan, among the younger generation of the Ye Family, there are few with outstanding talent. Are we just going to let Ruier marry an ordinary person and live her life like that?"

"A marriage alliance with the Ye Family is already somewhat unfair to Ruier. If it's like this, wouldn't it be putting her in a difficult situation? If that's the case, I would rather let Ruier leave on her own than let her step into the Ye Family."

Yun Tianyu's face fell as he listened to Yun Tianming's words, and his tone softened considerably.

He clearly remembered Yun Tianming's situation back then.

Yun Tianming was somewhat speechless at this moment.

His elder brother, as the Imperial Lord, was quite intelligent on normal days, but why was he so foolish on this matter?

However, as the matter was of great importance, he still patiently spoke: "Brother, you have misunderstood my meaning. The Ye Family is currently presided over by the Old Ancestor Ye Xuan. Even if other juniors in the Ye Family have outstanding talent, they still cannot make decisions."

"So, our marriage alliance is naturally with the Ye Family's Old Ancestor, Ye Xuan. He has just achieved a Breakthrough to Saint, has a long lifespan, and is handsome. If Ruier can marry him, with his protection, guidance, and provision of resources,"

"at that time, Ruier will definitely be able to successfully become a Saint. Moreover, Ruier has grown up in the Hanhai Dynasty since childhood, and after she grows up, she will certainly protect us. At that time, the Hanhai Dynasty and the Ye Family will not only have no estrangement,"

"but will also be as close as one Family. At that time, the Hanhai Dynasty will be equivalent to having two Saints protecting it, and we will naturally be able to develop with peace of mind. Why would we worry about not being able to rise in the future?"

Yun Tianming explained these words clearly and thoroughly to everyone.

After these words were spoken, the many Imperial Princes also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the heavy stone in Yun Tianyu's heart fell.

As a father, he naturally understood Ruier's personality best.

If Ruier grew up, she would certainly not forget him, her father, and the Hanhai Dynasty.

At that time, the Hanhai Dynasty would also be able to ride that favorable wind and soar.

By then, the Hanhai Dynasty's influence would likely spread out, occupying more than just Tianmu Province.
