Chapter 722 The Western Continent Kings
Meanwhile, in the Western Continent, there was quite a lot of chaos after the officials from the White Tiger Empire announced Bai Yinyue's decision, which made them very shocked, especially since they never knew about the death of Hu Duan and his entire family at his hands.
Afterward, the Old Kings decided to gather in one place, but the Zhou Kingdom was only represented by Zhou Liang, for Zhou Ming and the others were still on their way back to their continent.
As for Bai Zhongyu, he naturally didn't attend their meetings, and he left all matters to his youngest daughter.
Although Zhou Liang didn't like his father's decision, he still told Zhou Ming's decision to the other Old Kings, shocking them.
One of them then asked him. "Did your father really decide to support Yan Qiong to become the next Emperor, Zhou Liang?"
"Yes, King Ma." Zhou Liang replied as he nodded. "Honestly, I don't know why my father decided to support Yan Qiong, nor do I agree with his decision, but I can't do anything to change that."
"Where is Old Zhou now? Why didn't he come here?" Another Old King asked him.
Zhou Liang sighed and told him. "Currently, my father and the others are returning from the Holy Central Continent, King Yuan."
They frowned after they heard that, and another Old King asked him. "Why did your father go to the continent? Since when did he have any relatives there?"
"You are wrong about that, King Wei." Zhou Liang shook his head at him. "Indeed, My father has no relatives on the continent, but Zhou Xuan lives there now, so my father and the others went there to visit her."
"Huh?" Suddenly, they heard a woman gasp in shock, and she excitedly asked. "Is it true that Little Xuan lives on that continent? She has been away from this continent for over twenty years, and no one has ever managed to find her, so how did my stupid brother suddenly find her?"
Zhou Liang smiled bitterly at her question. "Aunt Mengli, my father obtained information about Zhou Xuan's whereabouts on that continent from Bai Yinyue, and she is indeed there now. Previously, I also went there with them, but something forced me to return to this continent first."
"Bai Yinyue?" Zhou Mengli raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. "How could she know Little Xuan's whereabouts? Moreover, that little princess was still a child when she left this continent."
"I did not know about that." Zhou Liang replied as he shook his head. "However, I can tell you one thing: Zhou Xuan is the wife of Bai Yinyue's husband."
"What?" Not only was Zhou Mengli surprised by that, but those Old Kings were also shocked after they heard Zhou Liang's answer.
King Yuan asked him again. "Is it true that Princess Xuan and Princess Yinyue share a husband?"
"It's not just the two of them who share a husband." Zhou Liang replied with a bitter smile. "Even Zhu Yuhe, the former Empress of the Southern Continent, also became one of that man's wives."
After he said that, the atmosphere in the room instantly became silent, as those people were utterly shocked by the news. Although they hardly ever left their continent, they certainly knew about Zhu Yuhe's identity, and they didn't expect that a woman as strong as her would be willing to share a husband with several women. Moreover, they also knew that Xia Tian was still very young, so they found it difficult to understand the women's decisions.
Zhou Mengli suddenly said. "If I remember correctly, Bai Yinyue's husband's name is Xia Tian, right? As I recall, he came from the southern continent, so how could he be on the Holy Central Continent now?"
"I don't know anything about that guy, Aunt." Zhou Liang suddenly became serious. "However, I can tell you that Xia Tian is powerful, and there are some cultivators much stronger than the late Hu Duan by his side."
"Are you kidding us?" King Ma asked with a frown. "I can't believe that a young man like him can be that strong, let alone that many strong cultivators are also willing to be by his side."
However, King Yuan said to him. "King Ma, we have all heard that Bai Yinyue managed to exterminate Hu Duan and his family, plus Zhu Yuhe was also one of his wives. If Xia Tian wasn't strong, how could those women be willing to share a husband with each other?"
"I agree with King Yuan." King Wei said as he nodded repeatedly. "We are all cultivators, and strength is everything, so I believe Xia Tian is truly strong."
King Ma was speechless after he heard that, but he still found it hard to believe the truth.
Suddenly, an old king who had been silent until now finally asked them. "Why do we have to talk about a man who have nothing to do with us? We have all gathered here to discuss Bai Yinyue's decision, and Old Zhou has already taken a stance to support her decision. As for Old Bai, we don't need to discuss him; he will fully support his daughter, so only the four of us haven't decided about the matter right now."
They agreed with his opinion of Bai Zhongyu, especially since they knew very well that he had so much faith in Bai Yinyue, and she was also the one who had made the Bai Kingdom prosperous as it is now.
"So what do you think about this matter, King Song?" King Yuan asked him.
King Song sighed softly. "Although Yan Qiong is very talented, he has no political experience, and we all know that the Yan Clan has no backers."
"But they now have Bai Yinyue as their backer, King Song." King Wei replied to him as he frowned.
"I know." King Song nodded to him. "Bai Yinyue may be strong since she managed to kill Hu Duan, but if we all join forces, I believe she won't be able to face us."
However, King Ma and the others suddenly froze, and their eyes widened in shock.
Seeing their expressions, King Song raised his eyebrows. "What happened to you guys? Why do you guys look so shocked?"
"King... King Song..." Zhou Liang stuttered as he pointed at the two men who had suddenly appeared behind the king, and neither of them had noticed their presence before. "They... They..."
"Hmm?" King Song frowned and looked back, but his head was immediately separated from his neck, and blood spurted out violently.
Instantly, Zhou Liang fell backward, and the other kings moved away to get away from the two men, including Zhou Mengli.
"Who... who are you?" Zhou Liang asked in a trembling voice.
As he wiped the blood off his blade, Ling answered him. "Anyone who dares to defy Princess Yinyue's orders must die."
"Princess Yinyue has given you guys to think for a few days, and if you make the wrong decision, you will suffer the same fate as King Song." Yi spoke as he glared at them one by one.
However, they didn't stay long, and the two of them immediately disappeared from the room.
Those people remained motionless for a while because Bai Yinyue's two men's appearance completely shocked them and gave them the impression that they were both very strong.
Soon, King Yuan took a deep breath and muttered. "Despite her pretty face and calm demeanor, Bai Yinyue turned out to be such a vicious woman, and she also has such strong subordinates."
King Ma nodded in agreement with him. "Apparently, Bai Yinyue managed to hide her strength neatly, and I've never even seen those two by her side before."
King Wei sighed heavily. "No wonder Bai Yinyue can annihilate Hu Duan without wreaking havoc on this continent, and I truly can't imagine the depth of his strength."
"So what are you two going to do now? Are you guys going to support Yan Qiong?" Zhou Mengli asked them.
The three kings turned to him as they smiled bitterly. "Do we have any other choice? If we don't follow Bai Yinyue's orders, those two men will kill us and destroy our kingdom."
Zhou Mengli and others nodded in agreement with him, and Zhou Liang said to them. "Moreover, you guys don't forget about Xia Tian; I dare say that he is far more terrifying than Bai Yinyue."
They only sighed after hearing that, and they immediately left the place after discussing some other matters.

Meanwhile, after stabilizing his cultivation for several months inside the Ancient Sacred Realm, Xia Tian finally opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Xia Tian was stunned for a moment when he saw Ling Chen sitting in front of him, and he spoke to her. "You have worked hard, Chen'er. Your cultivation has greatly improved, and you will soon break through to the Ancestor Origin Realm."
"All this is thanks to you and Master, Husband." Ling Chen replied as she smiled. "Anyway, I heard from Master that you will bring the other sisters into seclusion again; is that true?"
"Yes." Xia Tian nodded to her. "Tomorrow, we will begin our seclusion, and I hope to reach the Ancestor Origin Realm as soon as possible, so I can take you all to a higher realm."
Ling Chen nodded in understanding. "In that case, I will also join you guys, but I will go with Master after we come out of seclusion."
