Chapter 497 Jiang Xinyao
The fiery red bird tilted its head, a look of disappointment in its eyes, and said, "But, I miss Daddy so much."
The woman in red glanced at him with a gentle smile. "Don't worry, Xinyao. Once your dad finishes his business, he'll definitely be here soon. Maybe he'll even come to see us on a rainbow cloud."
The woman in red is Jiang Nan, and the fiery red bird is the incredible opportunity she awakened from the secret trial realm, the cub of the ancient mythical beast Phoenix.
The first thing the phoenix cub saw when it woke up was Jiang Nan's beautiful figure. It regarded her as its biological mother and called her "Mom".
Jiang Nan was very happy and doted on it, so he recognized this daughter and named her Jiang Xinyao.
"炘" originally means blazing flames, and "尧" refers to flawless jade, implying that the girl is as dazzling as a blazing flame and as precious and beautiful as flawless jade.
Little Phoenix Jiang Xinyao's eyes lit up and she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, colorful auspicious clouds? Mom, I haven't seen colorful auspicious clouds before. Can you ask Daddy to come back and show them to me soon?"
Jiang Nan nodded gently, "Yes, he will come as soon as he finishes his work."
"Yeah," the little phoenix nodded obediently, his eyes full of anticipation.
Jiang Nan looked straight ahead again, his expression calm.
The Barbarian King has come over with a fist clasped, offering sincere congratulations.
Many high-ranking barbarians also sincerely congratulated the Empress on winning the favor of the divine beast.
Jiang Nan's eyes softened slightly, and he said softly, "Barbarian King, from now on, our Great Zhou will be the Barbarians' strongest ally."
The Barbarian King was pleasantly surprised and immediately nodded happily, "Okay, the Empress' words are enough."
So, the barbarians solemnly invited Jiang Nan back to their tribe, hosted a banquet for him, and treated him with great courtesy.
During the banquet, the little phoenix Jiang Xinyao also learned that it was this land that gave birth to her.
She stepped on Jiang Nan's shoulders, held her head high and said proudly, "Don't worry, my mother and I will always protect the barbarians."
"If anyone dares to mess with you, I will burn their house down."
The little phoenix's voice was crisp and cute, and sounded a little fierce, which made many barbarian leaders happy and moved.
"Hahaha, good, good," the Barbarian King laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.
Zhang Yide smiled and sighed, "It's a pity that Brother Lu hasn't come back yet. If he came back and saw such a lovely daughter, he would definitely be very happy."
Jiang Nan smiled and said, "It's hard to say when he'll return. If he continues to fight his way through the wilderness like he did in the Great Mang, it might take another year or two for him to return."
Zhang Yide was stunned and smiled awkwardly, "That's the Demon Realm after all. Brother Lu shouldn't be so reckless, right?"
Jiang Nan shook his head and smiled, "Even if it's the supreme immortal world, don't expect him to keep a low profile."
"This guy is naturally reckless, and his passion is so hot it's scary."
Zhang Yide laughed heartily, "Hahaha, that's what I admire about Brother Lu. He's naturally fearless, generous, and passionate."
Jiang Nan smiled without saying anything and drank quietly.
In fact, she also wanted to say in her heart that she also liked the guy's rebellious side.
After a few days of celebration among the barbarian tribes.
Jiang Nan was finally about to say goodbye, and a group of barbarian leaders and Zhang Yide came to see him off.
Jiang Nan returned to his low-key black outfit, leading a little white donkey.
The little phoenix Jiang Xinyao stepped on the little donkey's head, turned her head domineeringly, and spread her wings. "The mountains are high and the road is long. My friends from the barbarian tribe don't need to see me off. We will meet again later."
This immediately attracted the laughter of a group of barbarian leaders.
At this time, a strong man carrying a bow and arrow came galloping on his horse.
The man dismounted his steed from a distance, ran to the Barbarian King, and nervously reported, "Your Majesty, a general from the Central Plains Tang Dynasty is outside the tribe, requesting an audience."
The barbarian king was stunned and asked in surprise, "The Tang Dynasty?"
"Why are they here?"
He frowned in confusion, not understanding why the Tang Dynasty, a million miles away, would send a general here.
The burly man looked at the cold, black-clad Jiang Nan with fear and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, that general is here to see Her Majesty the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Jiang Nan was stunned and looked at the strong man in surprise with a frown.
The Barbarian King narrowed his eyes and sneered, "If you want to find the Queen of Great Zhou, you should go to Great Zhou. Why come to my Barbarian Tribe?"
He waved his hand and said majestically, "No, let him go!"
The sturdy man's eyebrows suddenly jumped, and his face was full of tension and seriousness as he said, "Your Majesty, that Tang general seems to be a top master in the late Heavenly Man stage."
The Barbarian King was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Others are afraid of the Tang Dynasty, but I am not."
"Isn't he just in the late Heavenly Man stage? Humph, come here, bring my Mountain-Splitting Bow over here!"
The Barbarian King is handsome and heroic, with a domineering and arrogant look in his eyes.
"Yes!" Immediately, several men returned to the tent to get bows and arrows.
Jiang Nan said calmly, "No need."
"Barbarian King, I have been staying in the barbarian tribe for a long time. It is time to leave."
"I'll go see the Tang general myself and ask him what my purpose is."
The Barbarian King's cold expression subsided, and he immediately softened his expression and said solemnly, "However, it would be fine if his Tang generals went to your Great Zhou to ask for an audience."
"Now that I know you've abdicated, I'm afraid you've come to my barbarian tribe to look for you. I'm afraid you have no good intentions."
He looked solemn and obviously felt that the situation was difficult.
After all, that was the Tang Dynasty that dominated the world.
Jiang Nan straightened the curtain of his bamboo hat and said calmly, "It's okay. If your intentions are disrespectful, then I'll just kill you."
She turned her head and smiled faintly, "You barbarians are not afraid of the Tang Dynasty, and neither is my Great Zhou."
Little Phoenix Jiang Xinyao blinked her smart eyes, understood what was meant, and said fiercely, "Yes, I'm not afraid either."
The Barbarian King was slightly startled, and gave a thumbs-up with emotion, "The Empress is mighty."
"But, your current realm."
The Barbarian King said worriedly.
He saw that although Jiang Nan's cultivation had greatly improved this time, he was only at the peak of his destiny and had not entered the realm of the gods.
Without the support of the barbarian beast god's power, it would be difficult to fight against the late stage of the celestial being.
Jiang Nan smiled faintly, "No problem."
He lightly climbed onto his horse, clasped his fists, and said, "Barbarian King, Brother Zhang, goodbye."
After saying that, she patted the donkey, and the donkey immediately ran away happily.
Barbarian King, Zhang Yide and others looked worried.
Zhang Yide said, "Grandpa, why don't I go take a look?"
The Barbarian King shook his head. "No need for that. The Empress left so calmly and resolutely. She must have something to rely on."
He pondered, "Perhaps, the newly born divine beast cub already possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth."
Everyone was shocked and yearning, wanting to go to the edge of the tribe five hundred miles away to take a look.
But no one dared to go without the Barbarian King's order.
The Barbarian King simply ordered the strong man who had reported the news earlier to go back and keep an eye on it.
So, Jiang Nan galloped on his horse, and the little phoenix stood on the donkey's head, pointing the way domineeringly, and quickly ran towards the southern land.
After galloping for five hundred miles, they finally left the gathering place in the center of the tribe and arrived at a deserted yellow sand road.
Beneath a dry, crooked jujube tree, a young general in white armor stood with his arms folded and a long spear held upright at his side.
