Bai Zixuan felt her head spin and the world turn upside down.
She had rarely seen the object Bai Li held before her, yet she knew of its formidable reputation. It was rectangular, its texture as smooth as congealed fat, its surface like black jade, so glossy it could reflect a person's face, and as cold and sleek as ice.
Yet it was neither gold nor jade, neither stone nor wood.
Lying still, it seemed like a mystical artifact from beyond this world.
Furthermore, Bai Zixuan had heard from the First Palace Master that this object could once light up. Within it, myriad scenes would appear, glowing with radiant colors. Figures, landscapes, texts, and pavilions would all be clearly visible and breathtakingly lifelike.
The most terrifying part was that with a light touch of a fingertip upon its surface, the images would shift and change. It moved and settled at will, completely silent, yet seemingly containing an entire universe within. It was truly a wondrous item of the immortals, absolutely not something that could belong to the mortal realm.
Bai Zixuan knew of such things.
The three Palace Masters each possessed one.
Though slightly different in appearance, they were extremely similar.
And this object had long been regarded within the Concentric Alliance as the token of a Palace Master.
Wasn't the very thing Bai Li was holding right now exactly this object?!
Therefore...
Bai Zixuan instantly understood what Bai Li was doing in the capital.
The core members of the Concentric Alliance all knew that the Third Palace Master had stayed in the capital in her early years to assist the former Empress, plotting for a world where everyone had love. Later, she passed away, but her token was never left behind.
However, her dying words stated that whoever obtained the token could become the Third Palace Master of the Concentric Alliance.
Both the First Palace Master and the Second Palace Master had agreed to this.
Who in the entire Concentric Alliance did not know of this?
But that token had vanished with the passing of the Third Palace Master, as if it had fallen into the vast ocean, impossible to find despite endless searching.
Could it be that this token was hidden in the capital?
Bai Li went there precisely for this token!
Bai Zixuan's mind roared, her face turning even paler.
Bai Li's scolding voice rang out again: Bai Zixuan, what are you waiting for? Seeing me, why haven't you knelt?
Do you dare disobey the rules of the Concentric Alliance?
Bai Zixuan's body went limp.
Already weak from childbirth, being yelled at by Bai Li like this made her vision swim.
This scene thoroughly terrified the Seven Heroes of Chifeng.
They hurriedly surrounded her, their faces looking as if they were facing a mortal enemy, terrified that even the slightest harm might come to Bai Zixuan.
Eldest Brother Xiao Lie, after confirming that Bai Zixuan was mostly fine, stood straight up. His entire being radiated an imposing aura, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.
He said coldly, Hmph, I don't care what kind of nobody you are, and I certainly don't care what kind of trash you are in the Concentric Alliance. But here, this is where my two hundred thousand strong army is stationed. This is my military camp! If you know what's good for you, you'd better behave yourself, otherwise... don't blame my blade for showing no mercy!
The rest of the Seven Heroes of Chifeng also stood up one after another.
Hmph, little girl, I think you're really tired of living. The ten thousand men of the Divine Machine Battalion are completely under our control right now. You dare bully our Zixuan in our own camp? Are you courting death?
If it weren't out of respect for Zixuan, we would have torn you to pieces by now. Now, get the hell out!
...
The Seven Heroes of Chifeng each threw in a sentence.
Spending their lives in the military, their auras were fierce, each of them like an unsheathed blade, radiating an extremely obvious murderous intent.
Yet facing such a murderous atmosphere, Bai Li was not afraid in the slightest.
Her gaze bypassed the Seven Heroes of Chifeng and coldly fixed on Bai Zixuan as she said, Bai Zixuan, I am the Third Palace Master of the Concentric Alliance. Are you planning to rebel?
Hmph, do you dare commit insubordination?
These words acted like a miraculous cure. The nearly fainting Bai Zixuan suddenly leaped up. Before the Seven Heroes of Chifeng could even react, a massive slap swung over.
This just goes to show Bai Zixuan's extraordinary skills.
When it came to love, she would love every single one of them.
When it came to slapping, she made sure the Seven Heroes of Chifeng all received an equal share!
One swing of her hand actually traced a perfect arc, and a continuous smack resounded across the faces of all seven of the Seven Heroes of Chifeng.
As the Seven Heroes of Chifeng stood dumbfounded, each having received a slap, Bai Zixuan glared at them fiercely. Immediately after, she dropped to her knees before Bai Li with a heavy thud.
Her body trembled like a leaf in the wind. Palace Master above, this lowly one... this lowly one would not dare.
This lowly one would not dare!
The Seven Heroes of Chifeng were even more confused.
Eldest Brother Xiao Lie impatiently asked, Zixuan, what are you doing? She only has a few followers, but we hold an army of two hundred thousand in our hands!
Bai Zixuan immediately replied, But she is the Third Palace Master, and I am merely a protector.
Third Brother Shen Xiao also chimed in, Zixuan, don't be afraid of her. We will soon conquer the capital. When that time comes, our son will be the future Emperor, and you will wield immense power!
Bai Zixuan's body trembled even more violently. But she is the Third Palace Master, and I am merely a protector!
Seventh Brother Zhao Cheng added, Zixuan, are you worried about the ten thousand men of the Divine Machine Battalion? Don't worry, we have plenty of ways to bring them under our command. When that happens, we will have powerful firearms in our hands.
Bai Zixuan grew even more frantic.
She was so anxious she was on the verge of tears. But she is the Third Palace Master, and I am merely a protector!
The Seven Heroes of Chifeng: ???
Seriously, wasn't she just a Third Palace Master?
Could a Third Palace Master be more impressive than their two hundred thousand strong army, the ten thousand strong Divine Machine Battalion, or even the future Emperor?
But they couldn't persuade Bai Zixuan.
Right now, the only person in the tent who could move Bai Zixuan was Bai Li.
Bai Li then coldly rebuked, These men are truly noisy. They are nobodies in our Concentric Alliance, at best mere outer disciples. And they dare to block my path?
Get out of here, now!
Yes, yes, yes! Bai Zixuan hurriedly agreed, turning around as if to kick the Seven Heroes of Chifeng out. The Seven Heroes of Chifeng were even more bewildered, but given the current situation, it seemed they had no choice but to leave.
You're just going to leave like that?
Without paying your respects to me, the Third Palace Master?
Consequently, Bai Zixuan sharply scolded, What are you staring blankly for?
Didn't you hear the Third Palace Master order you to pay your respects?
The Seven Heroes of Chifeng were all seething with rage.
Since they started fighting battles across the lands, not even Lin Zixiao had dared to subject them to such humiliation. How could some woman from who knows where dare to treat them like this?
However,
With Bai Zixuan yelling like that, they couldn't refuse.
Left with no choice, they each dropped to one knee and bowed deeply to Bai Li before slinking out dejectedly.
Only then did Bai Li nod in satisfaction.
As the tent emptied, Bai Zixuan immediately switched to a fawning posture, just as she would treat the First Palace Master, Liu Ruyan. She leaned closer to Bai Li and said, Third Palace Master, the Seven Heroes of Chifeng are my people, and I am your person. From now on, this army is handed over to you.
It's just that...
I don't know what brings your esteemed self to this military camp?
This place is quite dangerous!
Bai Li slightly raised her head, her gaze looking toward the capital.
It was as if she wanted to pierce through the layers of fog to see Ren Tianye inside the capital.
She then said indifferently, You know my affairs. Ren Tianye killed Ye Fan. I have come here to seek revenge against Ren Tianye!
I will make Ren Tianye pay an unimaginable price!
I want him to regret it, to go mad, to live his entire life without love, and to die in absolute loneliness!
Therefore...
Bai Li's gaze hardened, her eyes filled with unprecedented determination. Therefore, I am going to use this army of two hundred thousand as bait. I will hand these two hundred thousand troops over to him and force him to marry me!
