Gu Chaoyan’s voice resonated with urgency as she inquired, “Lord Zhang, are you truly prepared to make this decision? If the King of Baizhou Land were to take my life, will you stand by him without question?”

Lord Zhang, the envoy from Jinwei Land, struggled to contain his anxiety, repeatedly wiping the perspiration from his brow. He hesitated before responding, “This… I…”

How could he offer a satisfactory explanation in this situation?

The women of Jinwei Land, especially those who pursued cultivation, were formidable individuals. He hadn’t anticipated such a challenging assignment. Initially, he assumed it would be a straightforward mission, given the King of Baizhou Land’s known temper. He was confident that the King could find a way to handle Xu Xunnan. Little did he expect that the prince, the king, and the King of Baizhou Land would exceed expectations and directly thrust the responsibility upon him. His original imperial mission was merely to escort Xu Xunnan to Baizhou Land to experience a minor setback. But now, faced with the prospect of her death, he was at a loss.

Lord Zhang’s entire body was soaked with anxiety as he contemplated his predicament.

The King of Baizhou Land showed no inclination to grant him the latitude to change his stance. He barked sternly, “You, unfortunate woman! Your envoy has already beseeched me to mete out your punishment. What more needs to be said? I declared my intention to end your life, and today I shall carry it out.”

“You have brought shame upon my land of Baizhou. Failure to administer justice would be a disrespect to me. If anyone obstructs, I shall have them all executed,” the King of Baizhou Land declared resolutely.

Lord Zhang’s eyes widened at the ominous threat.

Executions for all?

At this point, he dared not utter another word, for it meant placing his own life in jeopardy. While Jinwei Land offered a potential escape, he was entirely powerless in Baizhou Land.

Lord Zhang forced an uneasy smile and fell silent.

The King of Baizhou Land gazed with smug satisfaction at the envoy and the previously timorous prince.

At first, he had no intention of taking any drastic measures against these unfortunate women after explaining the situation. However, this particular woman seemed oblivious to the bounds of respect and decorum. Her insults, directed at him and Baizhou Land, left him with no choice but to reconsider.

For how could Baizhou Land maintain its standing in the world if such affronts were not addressed?

Baizhou Land’s guards had already reached Gu Chaoyan and were ready to escort her away. But as they drew near, her spiritual energy exerted an overpowering force, causing the guards to crumple to the ground. Blood seeped from the corners of their mouths as they clutched their chests, struggling to comprehend what had transpired.

The King of Baizhou Land, utterly flabbergasted, urgently called for assistance. “Someone!”

In Baizhou Land, women were deemed unfortunate because, apart from their ability to give birth, they were often considered ineffectual. They struggled with tasks requiring strength or skill, and their cultivation talents were typically lacking. Their existence seemingly revolved around depleting resources without much contribution. To the King, it was a perplexing state of misfortune.

Yet, this envoy from Jinwei Land possessed a remarkable command of spiritual energy, effortlessly incapacitating Baizhou Land’s guards.

Such a display was unprecedented, but in the King’s eyes, it represented a threat that couldn’t be ignored. For if she were allowed to persist and nurture the women of Jinwei Land into more capable individuals, what would become of Baizhou Land?

As the King of Baizhou Land, he needed to prioritize the well-being of his nation over personal sentiments. Therefore, he set aside his previous displeasure, placing the safety and interests of Baizhou Land at the forefront of his concerns.

“Guards!” The King of Baizhou Land’s voice resonated with a thunderous command. “Organize an execution immediately for these women! Their insults against Baizhou Land cannot go unpunished. Erase them from this world!”

Baizhou Land’s guards rushed forward like a tide, converging upon Gu Chaoyan, who observed the approaching horde with a steely gaze.
