Chapter 644

And Shi Feixuan at this time also came back to her senses and saw Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan.

"Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan, and you witch, why are you here?"

Shi Feixuan asked in surprise when she saw Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan.

"Hehe, of course we are here to defect to the Great Han Empire. How about you, Sage Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai, do you also want to defect to the Great Han?"

Hearing Shi Feixuan's words, Wanwan smiled playfully.

"What! Your Yin Kui Sect actually defected to the Han Kingdom!" Shi Feixuan exclaimed upon hearing this.

"What is wrong with that? The Great Han Empire's strength is so powerful and is about to unify the world. As the saying goes, those who know the times are heroes. My Yin Kui Sect naturally wants to defect to the Great Han!"

Seeing Shi Feixuan's shocked look, Wanwan felt secretly pleased.

As rivals, Shi Feixuan had always been slightly better than her. Now seeing this scene, she was naturally happy to see it.

Hearing Wanwan's words, Shi Feixuan couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed. She didn't expect that even the Yin Kui Sect, which was a demonic sect, was willing to defect to the Great Han.

And their Cihang Jingzhai, as the leader of the righteous path, chose to support Li Yuan to resist the Great Han.

And Cihang Jingzhai had always taught her to support the world and eliminate demons and defend the path.

But now, the sect she considered sacred and righteous in her eyes was doing things that were contrary to what she had seen.

How could she accept such a huge contrast?

However, Shi Feixuan also knew that as a Sage Maiden, she could not decide the sect's choice.

But she wanted to make her own choice. She couldn't do it if she were asked to go against the Great Han.

Immediately, Shi Feixuan said to Diao Chan with a determined look:

"Empress, although Cihang Jingzhai chose to go against the Great Han, the things the Great Han has done are beneficial to the country and the people. Please forgive me, I cannot stand on the opposite side of the Great Han."

"And Cihang Jingzhai is the place where I was born and raised since I was a child. I also cannot do it if I am asked to go against Cihang Jingzhai."

"Therefore, I will not participate in the affairs between Cihang Jingzhai and the Great Han from now on. I only ask the Empress to allow me to do something for the people of the world within the Great Han!"

To put it bluntly, Shi Feixuan's current idea was to help neither side.

Originally, she came to meet Diao Chan to lead Cihang Jingzhai to defect to the Great Han.

As a result, she was now told that Cihang Jingzhai had already chosen Li Yuan and wanted to go against the Great Han, which shattered all her fantasies.

Now, if she returned to Cihang Jingzhai, maybe the sect would ask her to deal with the Great Han.

But if she joined the Great Han, she was afraid the Great Han would ask her to deal with Cihang Jingzhai.

Neither of these two results was what she wanted, so the best way was to help neither side.

Moreover, based on her understanding of the Great Han, Cihang Jingzhai would definitely not be the Great Han's opponent.

The Great Han's strength was definitely not as simple as she saw on the surface.

Hearing Shi Feixuan's words, Diao Chan smiled and said to her with a smile:

"Actually, you don't have to. After joining our Great Han, I can make the decision to not let you face Cihang Jingzhai."

"Our Great Han can destroy them easily, and there is no need for you to take action."

"Moreover, since Cihang Jingzhai did not notify you, it means that in their eyes, you are just a pawn that can be discarded at will."

"Since that is the case, you don't have to have psychological pressure. From now on, just serve our Great Han well."

Hearing Diao Chan's words, Shi Feixuan was silent for a while. Although she still couldn't believe it, she also knew that Diao Chan was right.

Even if Cihang Jingzhai hadn't given up on her yet, once Cihang Jingzhai received the news that she had met the Great Han Empress, they would definitely not trust her anymore.

Therefore, she was indeed abandoned by Cihang Jingzhai, just as Diao Chan said.

Thinking of this, Shi Feixuan put away her thoughts and said respectfully to Diao Chan:

"The Empress is right. It was I who didn't think clearly. From now on, I am no longer the Sage Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai."

"I am willing to defect to the Great Han. From now on, there is only Shi Feixuan of the Great Han Empire!"

Hearing Shi Feixuan's words, Diao Chan nodded in satisfaction and said to her:

"Since that is the case, I will first arrange for you to serve in the Hall of Worship. After returning to the main world, I will report to His Majesty to formally reward you."

Upon hearing this, Shi Feixuan hurriedly bowed and thanked Diao Chan: "Many thanks, Empress!"

Seeing this, Diao Chan also nodded in satisfaction and then said to everyone with a solemn look:

"My precious subjects, according to the news from the Shadow Guards, the Cihang Jingzhai Sect Leader Fan Qinghui has already joined forces with the Turkic Martial Venerable Bi Xuan and the Demon Emperor Xiang Yutian to lead a group of Jianghu warriors to Taiyuan to assist Li Yuan, attempting to support Li Yuan to deal with our Great Han Empire."

"And the one responsible for attacking Taiyuan is General Zhang Liao's Xuanwu Legion. Since receiving the news from the Shadow Guards, I have already asked Song Que and Pang Ban to secretly go to support them."

"However, these three, Ning Daoqi, are now heading to the Yin Kui Sect. If they discover that the Yin Kui Sect has long been empty and has defected to our Great Han, they will definitely head north to support Taiyuan."

"Therefore, the main battlefield this time is Taiyuan. As long as General Zhang Liao and the others can kill all these Martial Emperor realm experts in Taiyuan, then the other forces in the Sui-Tang world will be nothing to worry about!"

Hearing Diao Chan's words, Zhu Yuyan, Wanwan, and Shi Feixuan, who had just joined, were all somewhat shocked.

They did not expect that even the Demon Master Pang Ban, who had retired from the Jianghu, had joined the Great Han.

In this way, the Great Han alone had three Martial Emperor realm experts on the surface: Diao Chan, Song Que, and Pang Ban.

And among these three, Song Que's strength was incomparably powerful, having already broken through the limits of heaven and earth and reached the Third Heaven of the Martial Emperor realm.

Song Que alone was enough to deal with two or three experts at the Third Heaven of the Martial Emperor realm.

And just as the three of them were shocked, Xun Yu stepped out and said solemnly to Diao Chan:

"Empress, if there were only Fan Qinghui and the other two, Song Que and Pang Ban would be enough to kill them."

"But if you add the three Martial Emperor realm experts, Ning Daoqi and the others, the situation in Taiyuan is somewhat dangerous."

"Although General Zhang Liao can rely on the military formation and the divine beast Xuanwu to fight against experts at the Third Heaven of the Martial Emperor realm."

"But there must be other Martial Emperor realm experts in these sects. If you add these people, General Zhang Liao and the others might really not be able to win."

"Therefore, for the sake of safety, we must not let Ning Daoqi and the others go to Taiyuan to support."

"Therefore, this official suggests that we should invite Lord Ao Huang to take action to solve Ning Daoqi and the other two first, and then support General Zhang Liao."
