Chapter 4475
“Patriarch Zhou, Elder Chu will make a personal visit to Cangwolf City. Meanwhile, you are to take someone with you to the Xiao Dynasty. If Xiao Yuanshan shows some sense and hands over Kai, we can afford to tolerate him for a while.”
“However, if he refuses to cooperate, we will have no choice but to declare war and force him out of the Emperor Xiao position…”
Zuo Tianzheng addressed Patriarch Zhou directly.
Patriarch Zhou was taken aback, his expression darkening with reluctance. Despite his misgivings, he knew he could not refuse the orders of the ally lord, so he steeled himself to accept it.
Zuo Tianzheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave. Elder Chu then approached Zuo Tianzheng, expressing concern: “Allied Lord, I’m worried that Patriarch Zhou isn’t fully committed to our Demon Sealing Alliance. Can we trust him to handle matters in the Xiao Dynasty?”
Zuo Tianzheng smiled faintly in response. “This time, regardless of whether Xiao Yuanshan understands the situation, I will ensure he steps down. I cannot allow such a significant threat to linger within the Demon Sealing Alliance.”
Elder Chu nodded in understanding. It was clear that Zuo Tianzheng viewed Patriarch Zhou’s role in the Xiao Dynasty as merely a pawn, without regard for his fate.
Once everyone had departed, Zuo Tianzheng turned and walked toward the rear of the grand hall. He slowly pushed open a door as dark as ink.
Inside lay an enormous black hole, and as Zuo Tianzheng stepped into the room, his figure was instantly engulfed by the darkness.

Xiao Imperial Dynasty!
A massive blimp descended towards the palace of the Xiao Dynasty!
As the blimp approached, hundreds of guards stood at attention, while nearly a hundred eighth-rank cultivators took to the skies, watching the airship with vigilance, uncertain of who might be aboard.
Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng rushed over in a state of alarm. In all the years that had passed, no one had dared to attack the Xiao Dynasty!
However, as the airship landed and Kai disembarked alongside Zhu Qingyue, Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng’s faces lit up with joy!
Xiao Yuanshan quickly waved for all the guards to stand down.
Xiao Feng leaped forward and embraced Zhu Qingyue tightly, tears streaming down his face. “Ah Zhu, where have you been? I’ve missed you so much!”
Not caring about anyone else present, Xiao Feng expressed his deep longing for her.
Zhu Qingyue, equally emotional, replied, “Xiao Feng, I missed you too! But my family faced some troubles, and I had to go back. I was captured…”
“Thankfully, Mr. Chen saved me; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to see you again…”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng released Zhu Qingyue and bowed deeply to Kai. “Mr. Chen, not only have you saved me, but you’ve also rescued Ah Zhu. I will never forget this kindness. If you ever find yourself in trouble, I’ll go through fire and water for you.”
Xiao Feng was profoundly grateful to Kai.
“Prince Xiao, you are too kind. It was merely a small effort on my part,” Kai replied with a gentle smile.
“Mr. Chen, you have done so much for us. You must stay with us longer in the Xiao Imperial Dynasty. Allow me to host you as our honored guest,” Xiao Yuanshan insisted, taking Kai’s hand and leading him towards the palace.
Xiao Feng and Zhu Qingyue held hands, following closely behind them into the palace.
Xiao Yuanshan organized a grand feast to express gratitude to Kai and to publicly announce the engagement of Xiao Feng and Zhu Qingyue.
Additionally, a crucial matter was to be addressed: the official declaration of Xiao Feng as Crown Prince. Given that Xiao Feng was now stable and sane, it was time to settle the Crown Prince issue.
As he faced the assembled princes and ministers of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty, Xiao Yuanshan declared, “I hereby announce that from this moment forward, Xiao Feng will be the Crown Prince of our Xiao Imperial Dynasty. All within the dynasty will serve him, and he shall have command over our troops.”
With that proclamation, Xiao Yuanshan produced a tiger talisman and handed it directly to Xiao Feng!
