Fei Ya’s delicate body softened, her breath like orchids, yet she spoke with slight tremor: "Husband... Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Domain... Wan Tianya has arrived. This time, he... he seems to have obtained... oh, Husband, don’t, they will notice and laugh at me."

"Laugh? Let them laugh, then. Once the matter is settled, I’ll let them all have a laugh."

Zhou Yan smiled and said.

Immediately, his hands became even more restless.

Holding Fei Ya in one arm, Zhou Yan wrapped his other arm around Fei Ya’s waist, pulling her into his embrace, pressing her softness firmly against his chest. Zhou Yan kissed her tender lips fiercely.

Fei Ya’s delicate body softened further, nearly collapsing into Zhou Yan’s embrace.

But Zhou Yan didn’t proceed further; after this expression of affection, he released her.

Fei Ya’s **** heaved, her entire body revealing a rosy tone.

Zhou Yan then calmed down, his gaze profound as he said: "The Ten Thousand Sword Domain was obedient once, but this time, it’s unclear why Wan Tianya has come."

"Wan Tianya has been waiting for a day now. Would you like to see him, Husband? However, the Elf Domain is now under the protection of the White Tiger Saint Spirit, and no life dares to cause trouble."

"If Husband doesn’t see him, he won’t have any grievances."

Fei Ya said.

Zhou Yan lightly pinched Fei Ya’s delicate and beautiful face, smiling: "It’s alright to meet him. Now that the White Tiger Saint Spirit has gone to the Holy Spirit Land, its protection no longer exists, perhaps, because of this, some forces might stir. However, it doesn’t matter much."

Zhou Yan smiled confidently.

Fei Ya didn’t yet know Zhou Yan’s current combat power, but she could see Zhou Yan’s realm was at Eternal Eight Rules Triple Layer.

However, thinking of Zhou Yan’s incredibly heaven-defying abilities a year ago, now, Zhou Yan’s combat power should already be comparable to the Nine Rules and Nine Layers Great Perfection being.

Fei Ya pondered, yet she was very obedient to Zhou Yan’s words and didn’t raise any doubts.

"You Mantis Clan, transforming into human women, indeed make men long for them. The taste is truly wonderful."

Zhou Yan suddenly said.

This remark made Fei Ya’s pretty face blush.

"Hehe, when there’s time, we should enjoy it again. Such days are truly wonderful if they could last forever, that would indeed be wonderful."

Zhou Yan added.

Fei Ya, moved by Zhou Yan’s words, became somewhat emotional, her body heating up, her eyes scintillating like water.

However, Zhou Yan knew it wasn’t the right time now, considering the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Domain had arrived, avoiding him would be rude.

Not to mention, two days later, the Emperor is also coming.

Zhou Yan certainly wouldn’t indulge with Fei Ya and be caught by the Emperor.

Even though the Emperor wouldn’t purposely intrude, Zhou Yan wouldn’t choose to do so.

Zhou Yan looked at Fei Ya apologetically, saying: "The Emperor will arrive in two days."

"Mm, Husband, Fei Ya understands."

Fei Ya was very respectful.

Though she was very assertive, she knew Zhou Yan was an even more powerful king; her assertiveness had to be entirely restrained in front of Zhou Yan.

This is something a woman must do.

She is Zhou Yan’s woman, she must set an example.

Zhou Yan glanced at Fei Ya, his gaze incredibly gentle, filled with deep affection.

Zhou Yan understood Fei Ya’s thoughts. Precisely because he understood, he cherished her more.

With Fei Ya, Zhou Yan arrived at the Elf Palace within the Elf Domain, where Wan Tianya from the Ten Thousand Sword Domain was leisurely enjoying Enlightenment Tea, pondering his own Tao.

When Zhou Yan arrived, Wan Tianya hadn’t even noticed.

This seemed a bit impolite.

However, when Zhou Yan sat on the throne in the Elf Palace, Wan Tianya became much more aware.

Immediately, he bowed respectfully, greeting Zhou Yan, and expressed his apologies for unintentionally ignoring Zhou Yan earlier.

This sincerity, Zhou Yan felt genuinely. Though in words, Wan Tianya appeared somewhat arrogant, it was quite normal, given his realm was at Eternal Nine Rules Second Layer, while Zhou Yan was at Eternal Eight Rules Triple Layer, seemingly suppressing Zhou Yan greatly in terms of realm.

"Thunder Flame Monarch, this time, Wan Tianya comes boldly; there are indeed some matters that must be mentioned."

"Master Wan, please go ahead."

Zhou Yan nodded slightly, saying.

"Our Ten Thousand Sword Domain has decided to fully submit to the Elf Domain, serving you, Thunder Flame Monarch, as our master. However, some of our domain’s inheritance has been lost. And this, the White Tiger Saint Spirit is aware of. Naturally, we aren’t qualified to meet the White Tiger Saint Spirit, but it has the ability to derive our lost inheritance."

"Therefore, as we submit, we also hope Thunder Flame Monarch can plea with the White Tiger Saint Spirit on our behalf, to help us re-condense the King’s Rules of our Ten Thousand Sword Domain."

Wan Tianya’s eyes became serious as he spoke of this matter, showing immense anticipation and sincerity.

Zhou Yan looked at him calmly, gazing at Wan Tianya for a long time.

Wan Tianya didn’t avoid Zhou Yan’s gaze, he just looked at Zhou Yan with respect and determination.

"Your Ten Thousand Sword Domain has not previously made things difficult for our Elf Domain, and in matters of principle, you have shown sincerity. Therefore, when dealing with friends, I, Zhou Yan, have always been generous."

"The king of your Ten Thousand Sword Domain was once called ’Wan Jian Tian,’ correct?"

Zhou Yan suddenly asked.

Wan Tianya was taken aback, then his face showed a few signs of shock.

However, he immediately recalled that Zhou Yan was the next life of the Thunder Flame Monarch, so this surprise naturally faded.

Perhaps it was a great secret to other beings, but for the Thunder Flame Monarch, it was not a secret at all.

"Yes, Thunder Flame Monarch, do you agree with us? Then, please accept Wan Tianya’s salute."

Having said this, Wan Tianya immediately attempted to kneel and bow, performing the ceremony of subjects and monarchs.

But Zhou Yan stopped Wan Tianya.

With just a glance, Wan Tianya couldn’t kneel any longer.

At this moment, Wan Tianya’s heart suddenly turned cold, somewhat shocked—Zhou Yan, at only the Third Layer of Eternal Eight Rules, was already comparable to a king?

Just a glance was enough to control me! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Wan Tianya was in awe, finally realizing he had no qualifications to negotiate terms.

If he submitted willingly, there was a path for survival, a chance to earn some respect, and become a subordinate.

Yet, if he were unwilling, then today’s Zhou Yan, today’s Thunder Flame Monarch, might be even more cruel and ruthless.

At such a moment, Zhou Yan’s unification seemed destined already.

Being a leader, Wan Tianya quickly thought it through.

For this reason, Wan Tianya didn’t dare to propose any conditions, his body trembling involuntarily, waiting for Zhou Yan’s command.

Zhou Yan looked at Wan Tianya with calm eyes and said, "Wan Jian Tian and I share a past, and he is a being I deeply respect. Therefore, I will help you inherit his Dao.

Unfortunately, the White Tiger Saint Spirit has entered the Holy Spirit Land and won’t emerge shortly, so I can’t agree to your request."

Zhou Yan explained.

Upon hearing this answer, Wan Tianya felt utterly disappointed in his heart but still replied with utmost respect, "In this case, it’s because the White Tiger Saint Spirit isn’t here, which indicates that our Ten Thousand Sword Domain has missed some opportunities.

But it’s not that the Thunder Flame Monarch is unwilling to help us, so we, the Ten Thousand Sword Domain, remain sincerely loyal!"

Wan Tianya thought it over, then said resolutely.

Then he knelt once more.

This time, indeed, Zhou Yan did not stop him.

Wan Tianya, like an ordinary being, knelt on the ground, kowtowing three times, with a sound that echoed throughout the great hall.

In the hall, Jiang Yuning, Fei Ya, and Long Xianyin watched silently and said nothing.

After Wan Tianya’s display, Zhou Yan waved his hand, and a gentle, natural elemental Origin wind power lifted Wan Tianya up.

"Be seated."

Zhou Yan said.

Soon after, Long Xianyin brought in the prepared ancient wooden chair.

Fang Tianya felt an inexplicable unease in his heart, disregarding any realm at this moment.

For Zhou Yan at this time was akin to the Thunder Flame Monarch returning, so Wan Tianya suddenly felt greatly relieved about his earlier steadfast action.

However, Wan Tianya was equally anxious, fearing any abnormalities might occur.

"Subordinate, thank the King for your great kindness."

Wan Tianya said somewhat fearfully.

Zhou Yan nodded slightly, saying, "Even though the White Tiger Saint Spirit cannot assist you, I can. The means of the Ten Thousand Soul Void and the legacy of the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao are trivial compared to my self-created King’s Affectionate Sword Dao and Lifeless Sword Dao."

"Later, you will come to the Land of Life Ancient Tree, and I will teach you the King’s Rules of the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao, explaining to you the Original Sword Soul Secret Technique and the elemental combination form of the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao. Long Xianyin, Jiang Yuning, Fei Ya, gather your relatives and friends to listen at the Land of Life Ancient Tree."

"What I speak of is not merely the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao but also the King Sword Dao, and the Affectionate Sword Dao, so you can all listen."

"Then, once you comprehend this insight, in Sword Dao, you can restrain evil spirits and control your emotions."

"Wan Tianya, if you understand deeply, you can not only repair the Ten Thousand Soul Void King Dao but also create the kingly Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao yourself."

"The Dao of one’s ancestors is ultimately the Dao they created; it is neither absolutely invincible nor absolutely perfect because each being has unique aspects, and such a Dao suited for a king may not be fit for all beings."

"Therefore, I hope you create the Dao yourself."

"Alright, now you can go, make some preparations, and in half a day, I will preach in the Land of Life Ancient Tree."

Zhou Yan said.

He even gave Wan Tianya time.
