"Your Majesty, please rest assured, if one day the Lich Gate rebels, please Your Majesty will be the first to kill me."

Ling Chen knew that he must not be ambiguous at this time, and when it was time to express his position, he could not be a little ambiguous, and he must completely reassure Empress Yunyao in order to keep the Lich Gate.

Otherwise, Empress Yun Yao was furious, and destroying the Lich Gate at this time was just a matter of waving her hand.

"Well, I'll believe you this time."

Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that it would take some trouble to reassure Empress Yun Yao, but he didn't expect the other party to believe him very happily.

It seems that Her Majesty the Empress really values him.

In fact, Empress Yun Yao didn't believe in his strength, after all, his strength was not strong, the other party believed that he could control the entire Lich Gate, of course, the main thing was whether he could control Xia Yunxin.

However, after this war, Empress Yunyao should also see that the relationship between Ling Chen and Xia Yunxin is extraordinary, the two of them are by no means an ordinary relationship between men and women, and even to the point where they can already pay for their lives for both parties, this kind of relationship is too rare, otherwise she would not be so easy to rest assured.

"Now that the matter has been settled. Then I won't stay long, Ling Chen, you can do it yourself. ”

Empress Yun Yao looked at Ling Chen, "I have high expectations for you, don't let me down." ”

After that, she also instructed Liu Chengyuan and Liu Mengru again: "The people of the Liu family, let's stay near here for the time being, in case the people of the Ling family suddenly kill the horses." ”

"Yes."

Liu Chengyuan and Liu Mengru bowed.

With a "swish", Empress Yun Yao turned around, and in just a moment, she returned to the dragon boat.

The behemoth-like dragon boat slowly moved, turned its bow, and entered the clouds, leaving the sky with two flying escort warships of the Royal Forest Army.

Liu Chengyuan and Liu Mengru raised their heads at this time, although they didn't think that the Ling family had the courage to disobey the will of Empress Yunyao and turn around and kill a horse pistol, but just in case, they still stayed and guarded, in case Ling Yi's brain was convulsed.

Moreover, Liu Chengyuan also wanted to stay and have a good chat with his nephew, who had never met.

……

After this tragic battle with the Ling family's army, the powerhouses of the Lich Gate lost more than thirty percent this time, and about thirty percent were injured to varying degrees, which can be said to be a heavy loss, but fortunately, the combat power of the top level did not lose much, and several saints were still alive and well.

However, Xia Yunxin was not lightly injured this time, and as soon as the war ended, she returned to the sea of blood in Wushan.

I am afraid that the recovery time will take much longer than before.

Originally, Xia Yunxin was in a hurry, and her strength did not return to her peak, and she was seriously injured by Ling Yiqidao's Ancestor Sword, which hurt her foundation.

What worries Ling Chen is that even if Xia Yunxin can get out of the customs this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover to her peak state.

Xia Yunxin re-entered the Wushan Blood Sea Retreat, and the affairs of the entire Lich Gate naturally fell on the head of the Zuo Protector, and the entire Spirit Snake Island entered a state of reconstruction, and the previous war destroyed countless buildings and formations, these things, of course, have to be rebuilt all, it will take quite a long time.

As for Ling Chen, although he does not meddle in the affairs of the Lich Gate, in fact, there is a tendency for the entire Lich Gate to be led by Ling Chen, not only because Ling Chen played a key role in this battle to protect the Lich Gate, but more importantly, the relationship between Ling Chen and Xia Yunxin.

If Xia Yunxin is defaulted to being the master of the Lich Sect, then Ling Chen's status is somewhat similar to that of the Lady of the Sect Master.

Of course, it is impossible for Ling Chen to admit that he is in this position, but in the hearts of many people, he already thinks so.

Snake Island, the central nave.

In a courtyard, Ling Chen, Liu Chengyuan, and Liu Mengru sat opposite each other around a stone table.

"I can't imagine that in just a few months, this kid of yours has grown to this point, if your mother knew, she should be able to rest assured, she has always been concerned about your safety."

Liu Chengyuan looked at Ling Chen, and his face also showed a very satisfied look.

"That is, my aunt doesn't know that Ling Chen is Ling Yu, if she knows, then she will definitely be happy." Liu Mengru also smiled and said.

"Uncle, my mother, how is she doing now?"

When it came to Liu Xiling, Ling Chen's eyes were also full of light, the last time he saw his mother Liu Xiling, it was when the latter was captured by Liu Feng and them, and now two or three years have passed, and I don't know what happened to Liu Xiling.

"Her situation has always been bad, she was coerced by her own family to marry someone she didn't like, and who could be better."

Liu Chengyuan shook his head, and then smiled again, "However, fortunately, you exist, because those old guys have never removed this obstacle from you, which makes it difficult to take a key step in the marriage of the two families." ”

"In addition, you have made such a big disturbance this time, which has made the Ling family restless, and within three days, your name will spread throughout the land of Kyushu, and those old guys of the Liu family will soon know about it, and it will be even more difficult for them to do."

The current Ling Chen is very different from before, first of all, it is a talent that Empress Yun Yao values, and secondly, Ling Chen now has a close relationship with the Lich Gate, and now the old guys of the Liu family want to get rid of Ling Chen, then they need to take the double risk of offending the Lich Gate and the Empress Yun Yao.

As a new-school family that supports Empress Yun Yao, it is impossible for the Liu family to be an enemy of the Lich Sect, let alone offend Empress Yun Yao.

As long as Ling Chen is still there, if he forcibly promotes the marriage, not only will the two families not be able to hold on to their faces, but Ling Chen will definitely not tolerate his mother being oppressed, in this way, the two families will have to consider whether Ling Chen will retaliate against them in the future, after all, with Ling Chen's growth rate, his promotion to a saint one day is almost a sure thing, as long as he does not fall halfway, he will definitely be a powerful sword saint one day.

"That's good. My mother is in the Liu family, and she still needs to be taken care of by Uncle Lao and my cousin. ”

Hearing that Liu Xiling was okay for the time being, Ling Chen was also relieved, he was the person who couldn't tolerate his loved ones being wronged.

"Don't worry. But you kid, you have to protect yourself,"

Liu Chengyuan told Ling Chen in a solemn tone, "Not to mention that you have made a lot of enemies in the major families, as the so-called Mu Xiu will destroy it in the forest wind, you are the champion of the Heavenly Sword Conference, known as the first person of the young generation in Kyushu, secretly, I don't know how many people are beating your idea, not only to seize the opportunity from you, but more people want to plunder your luck and take your place." ”

"Although the Lich Gate is not weak, but looking at the land of Kyushu, it is not a too strong force, and now the Wushen is in retreat and cultivating, I don't know when I will be able to get out, there are not many things you can rely on."

"I understand."

Ling Chen nodded, he naturally knew that if everything was too full, he would lose, for the mysterious land of Kyushu, he must maintain a sense of awe, Ling Chen did not think that he was really the first day of Kyushu, after all, on the bright side, the land of Kyushu seems to be the strongest is the Nine Families, but in fact, there are many people who are stronger than the Nine Families.

For example, the Taiqing Palace mentioned by Liu Mengru before.

Another example is the thin old man who took Ling Yin away before, the other party is from the ancient family "Tianyan Family".

It can be seen that the land of Kyushu that Ling Chen sees now is just a peek at the leopard in the tube, and the real world is far more vast than he imagined.
