Chapter 328: 48: The Empress’s Paramour
Translator: 549690339
At the gate of the Xia’s Imperial City, in front of thousands of people, Zhao Huai gave a definite answer.
It could be said that before this, the world had already heard rumors about the Xia’s Empress giving birth to a child and the father disappearing. Just now, Zhao Huai had publicly announced that Yu Qinghan was his wife.
This meant that the news was officially confirmed.
This left countless cultivators outside the Imperial City dumbfounded, submerged in an undispellable shock for a long time.
“He is the lover of the Empress of Xia? So handsome?”
“So that means the father of those two children is him!”
“Oh my goodness, the rumors are actually true! It’s really the Grand Yan Crown Prince!”
“The Grand Yan Crown Prince is the Empress’s lover... This is too... ”
Zhao Huai didn’t pay attention to the transmissions around him, he looked at Yu Qinghan with only guilt in his eyes.
A year ago, in the Peach Blossom World corridor, Yu Qinghan was willing to give up glory and wealth for him, even abandoning her status as a princess, leaving the Imperial Court disputes, and becoming a dutiful wife. Even after encountering her father’s death and the chaos in the Xia Country, she still thought about him and faced the storm alone when she was still weak.
Later, when he feigned his death and went to Nanyu Prefecture, she vowed to help him take revenge, not stopping until the old fiend of Netherworld was killed.
Even after ascending to the throne and ruling over the Xia Country, she still went against the taboo and gave birth to a boy and a girl for him.
And now, she had been hunted by the Devil Sect and almost died in battle, bringing all this trouble upon her because of him, yet she remained uncomplaining and unregretful.
With such a wife, what more could one ask for?
Zhao Huai felt that he was a scoundrel.
Yu Qinghan saw Zhao Huai’s side face, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. She whispered softly, “I’m so tired.”
“In that case, Madam should rest well, I’ll take care of everything from here on.”
Xu Muchen’s figure followed behind Zhao Huai and respectfully saluted:
“Your Highness, the Elders of the Immortal Sects have warned that if the Devil Sect goes too far, the Immortal Sect will not be easily provoked.”
After being besieged and blocked by Devil Sect cultivators, Zhao Huai happened to pass by and help him.
After Zhao Huai explained the issue of the Devil Sect planning to activate the Heavenly Sacrifice Platform and control the fate of the world, Xu Muchen took it very seriously.
He believed there must be a hidden motive behind the Devil Sect’s actions, especially since it involved the Heavenly Sacrifice Platform and could not be taken lightly.
It was very likely that Zhao Huai was telling the truth.
As such, he immediately issued the Cultivator Calling Order.
The Cultivator Calling Order was an emergency order issued in the face of major incidents that threatened the Immortal Sects and even the fate of the world.
Regardless of whether they were disciples from the inner sect, True Disciples, or even old cultivators who had been in seclusion for hundreds of years, everyone would emerge from the Spiritual Mountains.
They came from various sects and even the Immortal and Sacred Sects.
Many Spiritual Mountain sword cultivators joined forces to form a vast and magnificent sword formation.
“Boom!”
The sword formation continually bombarded the black cloth magical treasure covering the sky.
In just an instant, the black cloth magical treasure became dim and torn, looking as if it was about to be discarded.
The elder in the black robe’s face twitched, looking very pained. This was a treasure of the Heavenly Devil Palace, an enormous expense that couldn’t be wasted, so he quickly put the magical treasure away.
In this way, the Fortune of the Xia could no longer be concealed. With a “coo” sound, the Nine-plumes Crimson Phoenix reappeared, and tidal waves of fire rolled across the sky.
It cried toward the sky, radiating a vigorous vitality.
Many powerful sword cultivators soon made their moves and fought with the disciples of the Devil Sect below.
