Empress Xia Zhaoxue's expression was cold.
The unification of the three Sacred Dynasties was an inevitable trend.
But the most important thing was who would take the lead.
Now it seemed, without a doubt, the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty wanted to be the one to hold the reins.
However, their Great Xia Sacred Dynasty did not want to be subservient to the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty.
Not to mention, the father and son, Qin Xiao and Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan, had always coveted them, mother and daughter.
If the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty also gave in.
Then the situation for her and her daughter would definitely be grim.
Therefore, this was absolutely impossible.
"Your Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty does not yet have the strength of an ultimate power, yet you are so greedy?" Xia Zhaoxue said in a cold tone.
"Precisely because of that, we need the three Sacred Dynasties to unify, so that we can better deal with future situations." Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan smiled slightly.
He was certain that the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty would not dare to openly resist.
Otherwise, what the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty would face would be the pressure from the two other Sacred Dynasties.
Xia Zhaoxue's eyes were cold.
Xia Guihua's delicate face also held a hint of coldness.
She had never had any feelings for Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan.
Now, she only felt revulsion and disgust toward Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan.
"By the way, where is that sweetheart of yours? Do you dare to let him come out?"
A playful expression appeared on Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan's face.
In his view, the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty was merely trying to find a scapegoat to stop the marriage alliance.
And now?
Who would dare to offend both the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty and the Tianling Holy Dynasty at the same time?
Who would dare to come out as a scapegoat at this time? Even the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty couldn't protect him!
Just at that moment, an incomparably majestic hand of Law, wreathed in the intent of Chaos, appeared.
It felt as if the entire sky was pressing down, carrying an incomparable power that made the entire Great Xia Imperial City tremble.
"Who!"
Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan's eyes turned cold as he erupted with the aura of a Quasi-Emperor.
His cultivation was merely that of a First-Tribulation Quasi-Emperor.
Moreover, when he was Undergoing Tribulation, his father, Emperor Qin Xiao, had prepared various methods for him.
Therefore, Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan was able to become a Quasi-Emperor-level Prodigy.
Strictly speaking, Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan was still somewhat forced into his growth.
But a Quasi-Emperor was still a Quasi-Emperor.
Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan erupted with power, the Quasi-Emperor Law soaring into the sky. He threw a punch, intending to shatter that hand of Law.
However, under this punch, Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan's expression changed abruptly!
He discovered that under his punch, which condensed the might of a Quasi-Emperor, that hand of Law remained unmoved.
"How could this be?"
Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan's expression changed drastically.
He even thought that perhaps the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty's Heavenly Marquis had made a move.
That Heavenly Marquis was Princess Hongxiu's father, and also a renowned Emperor Realm powerhouse of the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty.
However, it was only a fleeting moment.
Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan was smashed into the ground by the hand of Law, sending up a spray of rubble and dust.
Fortunately, this was the Great Xia Imperial Palace, which had array patterns and Restrictions, preventing a major collapse here.
This sudden scene left everyone stunned.
Even the people from the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty and the Tianling Holy Dynasty did not react for a moment.
Because they simply did not think the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty would be foolish enough to attack them.
After they reacted.
The people from the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty immediately shouted angrily.
"Presumptuous! What does your Great Xia Sacred Dynasty want to do!"
"To dare to openly attack our Sacred Dynasty's Crown Prince, are you not afraid of Emperor Qin Xiao's wrath?"
Facing the accusations from the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty.
On the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty side, everyone was also a bit confused.
Without Empress Xia Zhaoxue's order, who would dare to openly attack Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan?
Even Xia Zhaoxue herself was stunned.
What was going on?
"Cough, cough..."
From within the dust, the sound of Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan coughing could be heard.
He soared into the air, his hair covered in dust, appearing somewhat disheveled.
"Who dares to ambush this Crown Prince!"
Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan scanned his surroundings with his gaze.
At this moment.
A voice drifted over leisurely.
"Was it not you who wanted this Young Master to come out?"
"What, can you not even handle this greeting gift?"
Everyone present looked toward the source of the voice.
They saw a Young Master in flawless white robes, walking over leisurely with his hands behind his back.
That unworldly and transcendent aura made people take notice.
"You are that so-called sweetheart?"
Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan stared coldly at Jun Xiaoyao.
There was a faint trace of scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes.
He had thought that the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty would just find someone at random to use as a scapegoat to fob him off.
But upon sensing the terrifying power of that palm earlier.
Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan found it hard to believe.
When did the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty produce such a figure?
Earlier, he had even misunderstood, thinking it was the Great Xia Heavenly Marquis who had made a move.
Even Empress Xia Zhaoxue was stunned.
Previously, she had only heard from Xia Guihua that she had found a Young Master willing to help her.
But to be honest, Xia Zhaoxue had not held much hope.
An existence comparable to Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan could not be found just anywhere.
But now, looking at Jun Xiaoyao.
A flash of surprise crossed Empress Xia Zhaoxue's phoenix eyes.
What surprised her was not just Jun Xiaoyao's appearance and temperament.
It was also the strength he displayed, which made Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan suffer a setback the moment he acted.
With Empress Xia Zhaoxue's cultivation, she could naturally perceive that Jun Xiaoyao was not some figure from the older generation.
To be so young and possess Quasi-Emperor-level combat power equal to Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan's.
This was definitely no ordinary person.
"Who are you?" Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan stared straight at him with cold eyes.
"Jun Xiaoyao."
Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan looked thoughtful.
He had never heard of any power in the Canghua Star Realm having such a Prodigy.
Even the famous Prodigies on the rankings of other star realms, he was aware of them.
There was no such name there either.
"What benefits did the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty promise you to make you meddle in this business?"
Perhaps because the power of Jun Xiaoyao's palm earlier had intimidated Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan.
He did not dare to act rashly and only probed.
"Meddling?"
Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
"How can the affairs of one's own woman be called meddling?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was stunned.
Many people's eyes were about to pop out.
How could Xia Guihua, the Crown Empress of Great Xia who had never had any rumors, suddenly have a man?
Jun Xiaoyao had said this in public.
Hearing this, a flush of crimson uncontrollably appeared on Xia Guihua's delicate cheeks.
She felt secretly embarrassed.
Why did Jun Xiaoyao speak so bluntly?
"Are you trying to deceive me?"
Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan did not believe it.
How could Xia Guihua, who had always been alone, suddenly have a man she fancied?
In his view, Jun Xiaoyao was just a scapegoat put forward by the Great Xia Sacred Dynasty to stop his marriage alliance.
Jun Xiaoyao said nothing and walked to Xia Guihua's side.
He directly took her soft, boneless jade hand and said.
"Taking this opportunity, I might as well say it directly."
"Xia Guihua and I have already made a lifelong commitment."
As these words fell, it was like a thunderclap on flat ground, making the entire Imperial City seethe!
Everyone's eyes widened, completely stunned.
Beside them, Princess Hongxiu's little mouth was also agape in a daze.
Although Jun Xiaoyao was someone she had recruited.
But now, how did it look like he was going to make a fake act real?
This acting was just too realistic.
"Young Master Jun..."
Xia Guihua secretly transmitted her voice, her cheeks burning hot.
Jun Xiaoyao said nothing.
His words were actually not wrong.
It was not that he was clinging to her, forcing Xia Guihua to become his woman.
But rather, since Xia Guihua was one of the four souls of Shengyi, she was originally his woman.
There was no problem with this at all.
Declaring his sovereignty early could also reduce the number of toads wanting to eat swan meat and avoid some trouble.
Seeing that Jun Xiaoyao did not let go, Xia Guihua actually did not struggle, just lowered her head slightly.
She was just thinking in her heart.
Jun Xiaoyao must be acting, right? It was just that his acting was a little too realistic.
And this scene, in the eyes of outsiders, was undoubtedly a display of shyness.
