Xu Wendong followed Mu Yunche’s guidance and arrived at Phoenix Cry Mountain, west of the Capital City of Frostflower Kingdom.
This was a small mountain range.
It stretched for a hundred miles, with a magnificent and vast complex of buildings on the mountain.
Even though it was already night.
It was still brightly lit.
Not only that.
There were also thousands of transcendance tribulation stage experts here, wearing black armor, ready and waiting, guarding the safety of this place.
Additionally, there was a Heavenly Rank Formation.
"Mu Yunche was right, the defenses here are rigorous. If I couldn’t hide within the Penglai Immortal Island Minor World, I wouldn’t be able to approach this place."
After sneaking into Phoenix Cry Mountain, Xu Wendong spent thirty minutes before finally finding the Empress of Frostflower Kingdom in a splendid palace.
Every corner of the palace was filled with a faint scent of ambergris, making people feel refreshing and relaxed.
Against this splendid backdrop, a beautiful woman in a Phoenix Robe sat quietly on the Phoenix Couch; her presence seed to be the focal point of the entire palace.
She wore a magnificent Phoenix Robe, inlaid with various jewels, sparkling dazzling lights.
The long hem of the Phoenix Robe dragged on the ground, like a flowing golden river. On her head was a Phoenix Crown inlaid with pearls and gemstones, glowing brightly, showcasing her nobility and majesty.
Her looks were exquisitely beautiful, her brows and eyes like paintings, lips like dotting cherries.
A pair of lively and deep eyes, seemingly able to see through everything.
Also conveying an aura of reigning over the world as an empress.
She was the Empress Ling Yun of Frostflower Kingdom.
Perhaps sensing sothing, Ling Yun slightly furrowed her brows and emitted a light voice: "Who is it?"
After restraining his aura, Xu Wendong appeared out of thin air before Ling Yun.
Xu Wendong’s sudden appearance left a hint of astonishnt in Ling Yun’s eyes; it was evident she hadn’t expected soone could enter this place silently.
Yet it was rely astonishnt.
She didn’t think Xu Wendong could harm her.
"Greetings to Empress Dowager!" Xu Wendong bowed in salute and then introduced himself: "My na is Xu Wendong, from Frostflower Kingdom!"
Afterwards, he spoke about the war between Frostflower Kingdom and Langya Country.
He also ntioned the Dragon-Slaying Sword recognizing him as its master.
And the matter of Qing Chen being possessed by soone.
"The Emperor was indeed possessed."
To Xu Wendong’s surprise, when he ntioned Qing Chen’s possession, Ling Yun remained very calm, as if she already knew about this.
"Did Empress Dowager know beforehand that Your Majesty was possessed?" Xu Wendong asked suspiciously.
Ling Yun looked sorrowful and said, "A year ago, I had a dream where under blood, the Emperor told soone wanted to possess his physical body and advised , no matter what, not to leave seclusion!"
"Initially, I didn’t believe it, thinking it was just a dream."
"But throughout the year, the Emperor never ca to Phoenix Cry Mountain to visit ."
"Not only that, he even sent many experts here to protect."
"At that ti, I felt that the dream might not just be a dream."
As Empress of Frostflower Kingdom, Ling Yun and Qing Chen shared a good relationship.
Previously, when she was in seclusion, Emperor Qing would visit Phoenix Cry Mountain even if he knew he wouldn’t see her.
But ever since she had that dream, Emperor Qing never visited again.
This was inherently irrational.
Xu Wendong said, "The main reason Emperor Qing didn’t want you to leave seclusion is for fear the other party might engage in dual cultivation with you."
"If so, Emperor Qing would be replaced."
Ling Yun nervously looked at Xu Wendong: "The Dragon-Slaying Sword is one of Frostflower Kingdom’s three national supre treasures, and it’s the only treasure among the three spiritual treasures with sentience."
"Since it recognizes you as its master, it shows you have a way to save Frostflower Kingdom."
"Please, tell how I should cooperate with you?"
Ling Yun indeed deserved to be the Empress of Frostflower Kingdom.
She pointed out the core of the issue sharply.
Xu Wendong said, "The one who could possess Emperor Qing is remarkably powerful, at least a third-level hermit immortal, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to possess a ruler like Emperor Qing."
"His strength was formidable from the start, not to ntion he holds Frostflower Kingdom’s Imperial Jade Seal."
"A direct confrontation leaves us with no chance of victory."
Ling Yun quietly listened to Xu Wendong’s words without expressing any opinions.
Because Xu Wendong was correct.
The person daring to possess Emperor Qing must have terrifying strength.
Xu Wendong continued: "Direct confrontation isn’t viable, but we can adopt another approach to defeat him."
"However."
"In doing so, the Emperor will also lose his life."
Ling Yun gently said, "I believe the Emperor, even in death, wouldn’t want soone controlling his physical body."
Xu Wendong hesitated and said, "Empress Dowager, the thod I’m suggesting is sowhat... sowhat unconventional."
"The thing is, it needs you and I to engage in dual cultivation."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun furrowed her brows involuntarily, her beautiful eyes full of suspicion: "Why do you and I need to engage in dual cultivation?"
It was fortunate Xu Wendong earned recognition from the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
Otherwise, Ling Yun would certainly have cursed him as a dissolute person.
Xu Wendong said with an embarrassed look: "It’s not that Mr. Xu covets Empress Dowager’s body; there’s simply no other solution to this matter."
"You know, the Emperor warned you not to leave seclusion to prevent you and him from engaging in dual cultivation."
"As long as your Yin Yang fusion occurs, the real Emperor will be killed."
"So."
"Engaging in dual cultivation is the only chance to kill the opponent, and it’s only possible once."
"Only during dual cultivation will the opponent lower his guard, falling into a state of absolute weakness."
Ling Yun was full of doubt: "I understand what you’re saying, but isn’t it unnecessary for you and to engage in dual cultivation together?"
Xu Wendong countered: "Can you guarantee to kill the opponent in one strike?"
Ling Yun’s pupils trembled suddenly.
She had no answer.
Xu Wendong continued: "You and I both know we have only one chance; if you fail, Emperor Qing and you will be certain to die."
"At that ti, Frostflower Kingdom is likely to turn into Mortal Purgatory."
Ling Yun fell into silence; she truly wasn’t confident about suddenly killing her husband during dual cultivation.
First, she didn’t have the strength.
Second, her mindset wasn’t strong enough for such a feat.
Xu Wendong added: "To be honest with Empress Dowager, Mr. Xu is skilled in the art of dual cultivation, and can use my own yang energy to set a Lock Yang Formation inside you."
"When you and Emperor Qing engage in dual cultivation, the formation can directly lock his Yang Energy."
"Even if Emperor Qing realizes sothing, it’ll be too late, eventually turning into fish on a chopping board for us to slaughter."
Ling Yun had a sudden realization and understood what Xu Wendong ant.
Yet.
Thinking about having to dual cultivate with a man other than her husband, she felt a strong sense of unease, her breathing becoming much more rapid.
Xu Wendong saw Ling Yun’s embarrassnt and smiled awkwardly, "These matters should be mutual; if Empress Dowager doesn’t wish it, then let’s abandon it!"
Ling Yun’s eyes showed a resolute gleam: "Though I don’t wish to dual cultivate with you, for my Frostflower Kingdom, what harm is there in sacrificing myself once?" Saying this, she slowly lay down on the Phoenix Couch.
Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up; he never thought that one day he’d have relations with an empress reigning over the mortal world!
