Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Want to Be the King of Yin Country?
Hearing these words, an extremely cold and fierce aura erupted from Chen Xiao!
Manluo Sha is going to be executed?
And to be judged in front of the entire nation?
Jiang Liang noticed his change and swallowed hard, "Mr. Chen, Princess Manluo Sha, as a member of the Royal Family, represents the dignity of the Royal Family in everything she says and does. In Yin Country, a womanâs status is low, and having an affair is a serious crime!"
"Whatâs more, Princess Manluo Sha is also a Holy Daughter, representing the Yin Country Holy Sect. Her sanctity being tainted also means the sectâs honor is tainted, which is why the sect and the Royal Family are so furious."
"Not only that, after this incident came out, the followers of the Holy Sect in Yin Country are outraged, all shouting for Manluo Sha to be executed!"
"Even the Second Prince canât change any of this."
"Tomorrow is the day of execution!"
"I understand." Chen Xiaoâs eyes were cold, "I donât care about any rules, etiquette, or dignity. I only know that she is my woman, Chen Xiaoâs woman, and no one is allowed to touch her!!!"
These domineering words made Jiang Liangâs heart tremble.
No wonder so many stunning beauties are deeply devoted to Chen Xiao; he indeed has an aura of charisma that makes people trust him.
But... how easy is it to rescue Manluo Sha?
After a pause, he said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, the Yin Country Royal Family may not be as central as the Divine Landâs, but it is still a place full of hidden talents. If you rush into the Royal Family, Iâm afraid... it will be dangerous."
"Also, ever since the incident, the King of Yin Country has been looking for your whereabouts. If you show up impulsively, they wonât let you go!"
"Both the Holy Sect and the Royal Family are guarded by Mortal Martial Saint Level experts; they will definitely show up at such an important occasion tomorrow, Mr. Chen, donât be impulsive!"
Chen Xiao enunciated each word, "Not to mention I have some responsibility for this incident with Manluo Sha, even if I didnât, as her man, I should go save her."
He promised Manluo Sha that if she was ever in danger, he would rescue her from any danger, no matter how perilous.
Hearing this, Jiang Liang sighed secretly, knowing he shouldnât have spoken too much. Seeing Chen Xiao like this, heâs determined to save Manluo Sha. If something were to happen to Chen Xiao, how could he explain to Lu Rugao?
Thinking of this, he felt an immense headache.
"Itâs been days since anything happened to Manluo Sha, hasnât Tian Han made any moves?" Chen Xiao asked again.
"This time the incident happened suddenly, and the Second Princeâs situation is also very dire. The whistleblower is targeting not only Manluo Sha but also the Second Prince."
"Right now, even the Second Prince canât protect himself."
"Of course, we outsiders canât really know the situation within the Royal Family, we can only glean bits and pieces from hearsay."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao squinted his eyes.
"Can you get in touch with Tian Han?" Chen Xiao asked.
"I... Iâll try my best." Jiang Liang sighed, "Mr. Chen, you must know that whatever you plan is very risky, I suggest you think it over carefully!"
"If Uncle Jiang finds it inconvenient, thatâs fine too," Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "I can just storm into the Yin Country Royal Family and rescue Manluo Sha. Although it will be a bit troublesome, itâs doable."
Jiang Liang was at a loss. This... Chen Xiaoâs method is indeed simple and direct, but is it so easy to break into the heavily guarded Royal Family of Yin Country?
He sighed, "Mr. Chen, let me use my connections to help you contact Prince Tian Han."
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang." Chen Xiao nodded gratefully.

Three hours later.
In a hotel somewhere in Yin Country.
Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu sat in the living room. After a moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao saw a man in a guardâs uniform walk in.
It was the Second Prince Tian Han, disguised. He looked quite haggard, and upon seeing Chen Xiao, his eyes filled with anger, and he threw a punch at Chen Xiaoâs face!
Chen Xiao blocked his fist and said calmly, "I know you have grievances against me now, but being impulsive wonât solve anything."
Tian Han gritted his teeth, "If it werenât for you, how would Manluo Sha end up like this?"
"So, what do you plan to do?" Chen Xiao sneered, "Werenât you the most doting brother to Manluo Sha? Have you stood by idly during these days of her trouble?"
Tian Hanâs voice was cold, "Do you think Iâm like you?"
"These past few days, Iâve been trying to rescue Manluo Sha, but failed." He said with some sadness, his face filled with guilt, "To say, her ending up like this, I, as her brother, bear a considerable responsibility. I shouldnât have let her be so reckless, nor should I have acted against the Reini Family."
"This time, the reason things were exposed is entirely because the Reini Family was scheming behind the scenes."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao squinted his eyes, "The Reini Family?"
Only then did Tian Han narrate the events.
It turned out, after General Reiniâs demise, the Reini Family was leaderless. He wanted to bring the Reini Family under his command, but due to his too strong measures, he instead provoked their fierce resistance, and they eventually sided with the Eldest Princeâs faction.
What was most unexpected was...
There was a guard in the Reini Family who used to be by Master Reiniâs side, and he reported to the Eldest Prince about Chen Xiao and Manluo Sha spending hours alone in the Scripture Recitation Room.
The Eldest Prince immediately spread the word in secret, then as the incident fermented, he promptly reported to King Yin, requesting Manluo Shaâs execution.
Upon hearing this, King Yin was furious, believing that Manluo Sha had shamed the Royal Family, and he promptly had her imprisoned, setting a date for punishment.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, "People say that even a tiger will not eat its cubs. This King Yin is really something else, willing to execute his own daughter."
Tian Han sneered, "Such a person is cruel and heartless. To him, we are merely tools. Manluo Sha was a tool for consolidating royal power. Now sheâs become a burden, and after such a scandal, fanning the anger of the Holy Sect and its followers, heâs bound to clear himself immediately."
"This time, the Eldest Prince is targeting me. Manluo Sha being imprisoned is due to two reasons: one being, if Manluo Sha truly took control of the Holy Temple, it would benefit me, and pose a huge potential threat to him; the second reason, he knows I wonât sit idly by."
"So they aim to use Manluo Sha to push me into a corner."
"But no matter what, no matter the cost, I must save Manluo Sha!"
Chen Xiao smiled and suddenly asked, "Brother-in-law, do you want to be the king of Yin Country?"
Tian Han was taken aback.
Chen Xiao patted his shoulder, "Take me to the palace, from tomorrow onward, youâll be the new king of Yin Country. Since this Old Dengde isnât fit to reign, he can step down and rest!"
His tone was calm, as if talking about something trivial.
