378: It's a great honor, but I can't agree

At the same time, inside the core hall of the Xuanbing Royal Clan.

"Do not be ungrateful!"

"It is the blessing of your entire clan that you have the fortune to become vassals of our Red Dust Emperor Clan!"

The atmosphere in the grand and imposing palace was heavy.

Two Quasi-Emperor Realm experts from the Red Dust Emperor Clan exuded a vast and mighty pressure, causing all the Xuanbing Royal Clan experts present to feel slightly suffocated.

Even the Xuanbing Queen, whose cultivation had already reached the fifth level of the Supreme Realm, could barely muster any strength to resist under such immense pressure.

After the two Quasi-Emperor Realm experts finished playing the bad cop to intimidate them, another Supreme Realm Cultivator from the Red Dust Emperor Clan stepped out to play the good cop.

"Xue Qinglian, the fact that you were previously able to pull the Xuanbing Royal Clan back from the brink of collapse and even develop it into a hegemon among the many Royal Clan forces in our Heavenly Domain is enough to prove your exceptional talent."

"However, I believe you are well aware of just how deep the waters in our Heavenly Domain run."

"Even if your clan can become a hegemon among the Royal Clans, you cannot continue to survive, let alone grow and prosper, without the help of stronger entities."

As he spoke, the Supreme Realm Cultivator offered an olive branch once again, saying in a seductive and bewitching tone: "As long as your clan is willing to pledge absolute loyalty to our Red Dust Emperor Clan from now on,"

"I swear upon my Dao Heart that our Red Dust Emperor Clan will surely grant you Supreme glory and lead your Xuanbing Royal Clan toward a more magnificent era!"

There was already a chasm-like gap between Royal Clans and Undying Emperor Clans. After all, any lineage that could be called an Undying Emperor Clan had a Great Emperor expert sitting in command within their clan.

And their Royal Clan didn't even have a single Quasi-Emperor Realm expert. Currently, the strongest among them was only the Xuanbing Queen, whose cultivation had just reached the fifth level of the Supreme Realm not long ago.

Even with the blessing of the Jia Yi Magic Skill bestowed upon them by Kong Wudao, for the time being, it was far inferior to the direct help provided by a top-tier Emperor Clan.

Immediately, some of the Xuanbing Royal Clan's Elders felt incredibly tempted. They even began to lobby the Xuanbing Queen.

"Clan Chief Xuelian, the fact that several Seniors from the Red Dust Emperor Clan have taken the initiative to extend an olive branch is a tremendous stroke of luck for our clan!"

"That's right, if our clan wants to become increasingly magnificent and strong, we cannot do without the help of stronger entities!"

Several Saint Realm Elders spoke up one after another to persuade the Xuanbing Queen.

They had completely forgotten that they were able to reach such a Realm, and that their Xuanbing Royal Clan was able to rise from the brink of collapse, all because they had received the help of the Jia Yi Magic Skill bestowed by Kong Wudao.

Now, they were already blinded by the greater benefits before them; how could they care about their true savior?

"A bunch of ungrateful ingrates!" Xue Qinglian cursed inwardly at these idiots who had been blinded by greed.

It wasn't just these ungrateful fellows that irritated her. These guys were also stupid beyond measure!

Only she knew clearly what kind of terrifying power Kong Wudao possessed.

He could casually bring out a Cultivation Technique that far exceeded her worldly understanding.

There was also the absolutely terrifying strength he displayed when he suppressed the Huo Rong Royal Clan experts, as well as the aura he exuded.

All of this indicated that his origins were so terrifying that they far exceeded their imagination.

She even felt that such a figure was definitely an ancient descendant of one of the Origin God Clans in their Heavenly Domain!

So what if the Red Dust Emperor Clan was a top-tier existence among the Undying Emperor Clans? Compared to the high and mighty Nine Great Origin God Clans, the Red Dust Emperor Clan was still far from being comparable!

"Xue Qinglian, I have said so much, I believe you should have made a decision in your heart."

The Supreme Realm expert of the Red Dust Emperor Clan curled his lips into a smile again, waved his hand, and took out an old, yellowed Cultivation Technique from his storage space: "This is the top-tier Cultivation Technique of our Red Dust Emperor Clan, the Heaven Derivation Art."

"Your Aptitude is not weak. With the blessing of this technique, I believe you will definitely have a chance to break through to the Emperor Realm, and perhaps even have a chance to reach the Great Emperor Realm."

To make the Xuanbing Royal Clan submit, the Red Dust Emperor Clan had truly spent a fortune.

They had even taken out their own clan's top-tier Cultivation Technique.

Although this made them feel a bit of pain, if they could successfully take over the Xuanbing Royal Clan, it would completely boost the influence of their entire Red Dust Emperor Clan throughout the Extraterritorial Land.

In terms of long-term benefits, taking over the Xuanbing Royal Clan was the priority.

"Thank you for your kindness, Seniors." Xue Qinglian shook her head gently and bowed: "But this Junior, along with my Xuanbing Royal Clan, has long since had a master whom we must pursue for the rest of our lives."

"Please forgive this Junior and my Xuanbing Royal Clan, as we cannot agree."

As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles of the several experts from the Red Dust Emperor Clan instantly froze.

They never expected that they would offer so many substantial benefits and give the Xuanbing Royal Clan so much Face, yet Xue Qinglian would still dare to reject them so ungratefully!

Even those Xuanbing Royal Clan Elders who were inclined to submit to the Red Dust Emperor Clan had their expressions turn ugly instantly.

No... such immense wealth was right before their eyes. How could their Queen just let it slip away so casually?!

"So, Xue Qinglian, you are determined not to give our Red Dust Emperor Clan any Face?"

The Supreme Realm expert of the Red Dust Emperor Clan immediately retracted his smile.

Almost at the same time, the two Quasi-Emperor Realm experts who had previously played the bad cop once again exuded terrifying pressure.

Unlike the previous display of aura, this time, the terrifying pressure released by the two was entirely and deliberately targeted at Xue Qinglian.

The aura and pressure of the Quasi-Emperor Realm poured down, causing the bones of Xue Qinglian, who was completely enveloped within it, to shift and creak, and her body to tremble uncontrollably.

However, from beginning to end, Xue Qinglian did not show any signs of painful submission.

That heart that wanted to spend its whole life following Kong Wudao did not waver in the slightest.

Just then, a clear laugh suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Hehe... you are all quite old, yet you have joined forces to bully such a beautiful Fairy."

"If this matter were to spread, I fear that group of people outside would laugh at our Red Dust Emperor Clan!"

The Red Dust Emperor Clan experts who were suppressing Xue Qinglian with their aura were slightly stunned.

Then, they hurriedly retracted their aura and bowed in unison toward the outside of the hall.

"Greetings, Emperor Son Jincheng!"

The moment the voice fell, Li Jincheng, with floating light dancing around him, entered from outside the hall.

A faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth, giving people a rather dashing and handsome feeling.

Especially the moment his peach-blossom eyes saw Xue Qinglian, the depths of his pupils lit up slightly.

He revealed an excitement like a hunter who had finally found prey to his liking.

It was not just Xue Qinglian's sexy, voluptuous figure and Face, which were full of mature temptation.

His Fairy Conquest System also issued a System mission at the same time.

[Ding! Host, please conquer the Xuanbing Royal Clan Queen, Xue Qinglian. Make her fall in love with you, or make her your Dao Companion, and you will receive rich System rewards!]
