Chapter 289 You've Got My Weakness

"Oh? I wonder what business Empress Xiao wishes to conduct with me?"

Yan Chu was noncommittal in his heart.

With his current strength, what in this world could possibly attract him?

Furthermore, even the most precious treasures in the world were light-years away from his System; they were simply incomparable.

Unless...

Yan Chu couldn't help but take a serious look.

The Empress before him was alluring and dignified, her every gesture full of charm, her every smile enchanting.

Moreover, the woman behind her was not bad either.

Her figure was tall, slender, and upright, with wheat-colored skin, possessing the unrestrained temperament unique to Northern Mang women.

However, both of these women were Heavenly Realm experts.

As the pinnacle of this world, those in the Heavenly Realm were naturally incomparably proud and would not be easily coerced, especially in such matters.

Besides, Yan Chu generally didn't like to force others...

Just as Yan Chu finished speaking, he heard Xiao Yuanjia turn and say to Xiao Sidao: "Great King of the Northern Court, you should retreat for now!"

A look of hesitation appeared on Xiao Sidao's face, but he soon nodded and turned to leave.

Although he was the head of the Xiao Clan, Empress Xiao Yuanjia made all the major decisions.

After Xiao Sidao left, a layer of hazy light shrouded the entire hillside. Apart from a few empty white yurts in the forest, only the three of them—Yan Chu and the two women—remained, and the surroundings were dead silent.

"The business Yuanjia wishes to conduct with Great Hero Yan is to hope that Great Hero Yan can show mercy to my Xiao Clan. As for the price..."

Xiao Yuanjia's voice was sweet and soft, her red lips exhaling like an orchid.

Her two snow-white, tender little hands grabbed the white mink fur coat on her body and slowly opened it, revealing a light, thin goose-yellow silk dress underneath, through which her smooth and delicate skin could be faintly seen.

"As for the price, it is Yuanjia herself, as well as my clan sister, Nanxu. I wonder if Great Hero Yan is satisfied?"

Behind her, the other Heavenly Realm expert of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Nanxu, showed no expression but silently untied her waistband.

Even though she had doubts beforehand, upon seeing Yan Chu in person and feeling the terrifying Aura on him like that of a malevolent god, her last trace of hesitation vanished.

Women all over the world admire the strong, and this is especially evident in Northern Mang women.

After all, on the great grasslands, the weak simply cannot survive.

Yan Chu narrowed his eyes, reached out, lifted Xiao Yuanjia's snow-white, tender chin, and with his other hand, pulled her into his embrace, saying slowly: "Empress Xiao, you have successfully grasped my weakness!"

...

...

In Chilie Mountain.

This Northern Mang sacred mountain was tall and steep, and its interior was a world of its own.

Inside the belly of the mountain, there was a narrow stone path. Following the stone path downwards and walking past hundreds of stone steps, one could see a stone gate.

Countless profound and mysterious patterns were carved on the stone gate.

Without the secret key, even those in the Heavenly Realm could not hope to break open the stone gate and enter.

Moreover, outside the stone gate, two old Heavenly Realm experts of the Luan Di Clan stood guard day and night; both were supreme experts who had opened two Divine Treasuries.

Usually, apart from the Khan and the High Priest, no one could enter.

After passing through the stone gate, it was a world completely different from the outside.

Everywhere the eye could see was a deep red color.

The concentration of Origin Qi was so thick it could not be added to; one could clearly see wisps of fire-red currents drifting in the air, which was the condensed form of Origin Qi.

After a Martial Artist opens their Divine Treasury and achieves the Heavenly Realm, if they Cultivate in the outside world, they might not see much improvement even after decades.

But cultivating here, one year is worth a hundred years of work in the outside world.

In fact, the reason why the major clans of Northern Mang united around the Luan Di Clan was precisely because of Chilie Mountain.

Each family had a corresponding quota every year to enter Chilie Mountain to Cultivate.

In this blessed land, at the center, stood a large fire-red tree.

Its branches were of a fire-red glazed luster, its roots dug deep into the ground, and massive amounts of geothermal fire energy were introduced into the blessed land through this fire-red tree, filtering out the Evil Qi within.

Under the tree, there was a stone platform.

On the stone platform lay a two-meter-long large bow.

The body of the bow was forged from an unknown material, jet black throughout, and covered in dense runes, which were autonomously refining the Origin Qi in this blessed land, emitting wisps of light.

A peerless divine weapon, the sun-shooting divine bow!

Above divine weapons, there are peerless divine weapons.

The sun-shooting divine bow is a peerless divine weapon that can easily shoot and kill those in the Heavenly Realm. It was forged by the first-generation Khan of Northern Mang, gathering the skilled craftsmen of Northern Mang, and it took a full ten years to complete.

After the bow was completed, several large-scale sacrifices were held to invite the eternal heaven to descend and bless the divine bow with Divine Power.

Even a Heavenly Realm expert at the level of Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown could not withstand a full-strength arrow from the sun-shooting divine bow.

Among the few peerless divine weapons in the world, the sun-shooting divine bow also ranked extremely high.

At this moment, in front of the stone platform, Khan Luan Di Tianye stood bowing.

Behind him were the Left Worthy King Luan Di Gulang and the Great Chanyu Luantu Kuo.

Luan Di Tianye placed his hand on his chest and said respectfully to the sun-shooting divine bow on the stone platform:

"Divine bow, above, our Northern Mang is currently suffering a catastrophe. A Heavenly Realm expert at the Three Flowers level from the Southern Dynasty is wantonly slaughtering our Northern Mang people, wanting to cut off our eternal heaven Bloodline. This time, I request the divine bow to exert its power to help our Northern Mang shoot and kill the powerful enemy!"

After Luan Di Tianye finished speaking, the patterns above the sun-shooting divine bow became brighter and more dazzling, and the lines began to extend and enlarge.

On the fire-red ancient tree beside it, the fire-red Origin Qi emitted from the branches was sucked in all at once and injected into the divine bow.

A thought echoed in this space:

"Upon leaving this territory, you can only draw the bow once. If you wish to draw the bow again, you must sacrifice with the power of a Heavenly Realm expert or the flesh and blood of living beings!"

"Otherwise, you must return to this place and wait for me to replenish my strength before you can draw the bow again!"

Luan Di Tianye opened his mouth and said:

"I have long been prepared for this!"

His eyes were fierce and ferocious.

There were millions of people in the Imperial Court who enjoyed supreme honor and wealth on ordinary days. At such a time, for the survival and peace of Northern Mang, sacrificing their lives was the proper thing to do.

It would only take tens of thousands of people to awaken most of the power of the sun-shooting divine bow, allowing the divine bow to shoot an arrow.

With the divine bow in hand, let's see how that Southern Dynasty Blade Demon can resist!

Immediately, Luan Di Tianye reached out to support the giant bow.

Boom!

The strength in his body erupted, and the terrifying Aura made Luan Di Gulang and Luantu Kuo behind him unable to help but retreat, with the veins on their arms bulging.

This peerless divine weapon was heavier than a mountain.

Ordinary people, even if they obtained it, would not be able to lift it at all and could not use it.

Only the strength of a Heavenly Realm expert could lift the giant bow.

After Luan Di Tianye lifted the giant bow, the Origin Qi in the space became even more chaotic, but after it was in his hands, it became as heavy as an ordinary large bow.

He knew this was the test of the divine bow.

If one could not even lift it, let alone hope to shoot an arrow.

With the divine bow in hand, Luan Di Tianye was incomparably confident.

He pulled the bowstring and slowly drew it open, and a thick, fire-red arrow condensed on the bow.

Whoosh!

Luan Di Tianye let go, and the arrow light whistled out, shooting into the mountain wall more than ten miles away, exploding with countless sparks, and layer after layer of patterns lit up above, offsetting this destructive power.

Then, countless Origin Qi in the blessed land was sucked into the sun-shooting divine bow like a whale drinking water, and the Origin Qi suddenly became turbulent.

...

...

"Great Khan!"

Luan Di Gulang and Luantu Kuo were all excited.

They knew the power of the sun-shooting divine bow and were incomparably confident in it.

They believed that no matter how powerful that Southern Dynasty Blade Demon was, he could never be a match for the sun-shooting divine bow.

"Let's go!"

Luan Di Tianye looked confident, carried the large bow on his back, and walked out of the blessed land.

On the other side, Yan Chu pulled Xiao Yuanjia and the two women into his embrace. Before he could carefully experience the warm and fragrant jade, and just as the shyness on the faces of the two women arose, Yan Chu stopped his movements.

His gaze looked towards the distant Chilie Mountain.

"What did Luan Di Tianye go to Chilie Mountain for? Could it be that they still have some trump card?"

Xiao Yuanjia was panting from Yan Chu's large hands, her pink cheeks covered with a rosy glow. Hearing his words, her eyes, filled with moist light, immediately became calm.

"He should be trying to get the sun-shooting divine bow. Apart from this, he probably has no other way to deal with you!"

"The sun-shooting divine bow?"

"The sun-shooting divine bow is a peerless divine weapon!"

Xiao Yuanjia was held in Yan Chu's arms in an embarrassing posture, their skin in contact, extremely ambiguous.

She had deep hatred for Luan Di Tianye.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to use herself and her clan sister Xiao Nanxu as a price to cooperate with Yan Chu, borrowing his hand to deal with Luan Di Tianye.

She immediately told him everything about the Luan Di Clan.

And Yan Chu could also sense that Luan Di Tianye was walking out of Chilie Mountain with that divine bow.

In the eyes of others, that was just an ordinary black large bow.

But in Yan Chu's perception, he could clearly see the terrifying power contained within that bow, an existence sufficient to threaten him.

When Xiao Yuanjia finished speaking, Yan Chu's expression could not help but carry a bit of seriousness.

He put down his mischievous large hands and said calmly: "Empress Xiao, you wait for me here for a moment!"

He had wanted to have a good meal first, but now it seemed it would have to be left for last.

He didn't expect that even after fighting for so long, he still couldn't enjoy himself properly.

Seeing Yan Chu flash away, Xiao Nanxu asked Xiao Yuanjia with worry on her face:

"If Yan Chu dies by the sun-shooting divine bow, what shall we do?"

Xiao Yuanjia put the mink fur coat back on, covering her exquisite and voluptuous body, and said leisurely while tying her waistband:

"If that's really the case, we'll just keep things as they are!"

"Luan Di Tianye doesn't know what we've done anyway."

"Taking a step back, even if he really knew, would he dare to destroy my Xiao Clan?"

As the head of the five major clans of Northern Mang, the Xiao Clan had many high officials and nobles in the Northern Mang Imperial Court and had intermarried with other major clans.

If Luan Di Tianye destroyed the Xiao Clan, other clans would inevitably feel a sense of sorrow for their kind. Coupled with the fact that he was already unpopular, the Northern Mang would likely fall apart as a result.

He would then be truly alone.

Xiao Yuanjia was dressed again, a mischievous smile appearing on her charming face. She placed her right hand on Xiao Nanxu's firm, perky buttocks and pinched them, causing a dark rosy glow to stain Xiao Nanxu's wheat-colored skin.

"Empress, what are you doing?"

Xiao Nanxu dodged in a hurry, feeling even more shy than when she was just in Yan Chu's arms.

Xiao Yuanjia giggled and said:

"Good sister, believe in your sister's eye for men."

"Yan Chu won't necessarily die at the hands of Luan Di Tianye; in my opinion, he will most likely win!"

"Otherwise, why would that old fox, the High Priest, have snuck away?"

"Then..."

Xiao Nanxu's gaze wavered, and she said:

"If he wins, it will be the end of the Luan Di Clan!"

"Correct!"

A cold smile hung on the corner of Xiao Yuanjia's mouth,

"The Luan Di Clan has ruled the grasslands for so many years, and Luan Di Tianye has been rampant in Northern Mang, killed my parents, and forcibly taken me as a concubine. Now it's time for someone to deal with them."

"I don't think Yan Chu looks like a person with a strong desire for power; he only has a special liking for beauty."

"And he is at this Realm, so power is like a floating cloud to him."

"After the Luan Di Clan is destroyed, someone will need to rule the grasslands, and this position is best taken by my Xiao Family!"

There was still a trace of worry between Xiao Nanxu's brows,

"But even if my Xiao Family controls Northern Mang, we are still Yan Chu's Puppet, aren't we? Doesn't that mean we do whatever he says?"

"So what?"

Xiao Yuanjia said indifferently:

"Yan Chu is so young and already has such a Realm; the next step will inevitably be to shatter the Void Realm. I don't think he will stay in this world for long!"

"And he has no desire for power, only a liking for beauty."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuanjia bit her red lips lightly, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face again,

"You have kept your purity for over three hundred years; now there is finally a man worthy of letting you break your chastity. Why don't you hurry up and seize the opportunity?"

"Empress! If you do this again, I'm going to get angry!"

Xiao Nanxu's tone was slightly angry, her gaze shy and annoyed.

Xiao Yuanjia was indifferent, her slender jade hands starting to make mischief on Xiao Nanxu's body,

"Trust sister, Yan Chu looks very strong! He won't let our sisters down."

"Hee hee~"

...

When Luan Di Tianye walked out of Chilie Mountain with the sun-shooting divine bow on his back, everyone along the way placed their hands on their chests and bowed respectfully.

The Helian and Huyan clans still had Heavenly Realm experts alive.

But because Luan Di Tianye had devoured Helian Wugen and Great Commandant and Patriarch of the Huyan Clan not long ago, they did not come to Chilie Mountain again, but hid in other parts of Northern Mang, fearing that they would be devoured by Luan Di Tianye again.

The only remaining Heavenly Realm expert of the Murong Clan, Murong Yuanshuang, was here.

The other Heavenly Realm expert of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Wendao, was also there.

Besides her, there were three Heavenly Realm experts from the Pucha Clan, and now they and the Xiao Clan had their strength well-preserved.

Apart from them, there were several Heavenly Realm experts from the Luan Di Clan and the Imperial Court Guards, all from various tribes on the grasslands, cultivated by the Luan Di Clan.

Their loyalty to the Luan Di Clan goes without saying.

"Great Khan, is this the sun-shooting divine bow? Can it really shoot and kill the Southern Dynasty Fire Demon?"

Many Heavenly Realm experts present were seeing the sun-shooting divine bow for the first time, and they were all looking at the large bow on Luan Di Tianye's back with anticipation and curiosity.

Because Yan Chu repeatedly used that domineering fire-attribute Cultivation Technique, with amazing lethality, some people thought the title of Blade Demon was not quite accurate, so they called him Fire Demon.

Behind Luan Di Tianye, Great Chanyu Luantu Kuo sneered:

"That is natural!"

"Yan Chu is a Fire Demon. The sun-shooting divine bow can even shoot down the sun, so a mere Fire Demon is naturally not a problem!"

Luan Di Tianye waved his hand and said:

"Enough!"

"How are the sacrifices I asked you to prepare?"
