History was a tortuous and winding path. Sometimes, it required the iron-blooded man to spout blood on the battlefield. Sometimes, it required the red-pink beauty to turn the situation around on another battlefield. The blood of heroes and the tears of beauties had written the history of the ages.

  Marriage and kinship are shortcuts to building mutual trust in exchange for peace in the interaction between the two forces. In habitual thinking, the marrying party is always at a disadvantage.

  Xin Jisi did indeed have the intention to marry him. She originally planned to use force to convince Gu Tianyou and force him into a dead end before making such a request. If she had the right to choose, she naturally hoped that the marriage partner would be Gu Tianyou. However, the current situation was that the choice was not in her hands. The moment the protective net formed by the Utmost Sacred Tribulation Lightning was neutralized, she knew that she had lost. The initiative had changed hands, and her only hope was that Gu Tianyou would be afraid of the clan forces behind her.

  Gu Tianyou took the initiative to propose a marriage alliance. Of course, there was no room for her to refuse. However, this marriage alliance was no longer aimed at the Gu Tianyou she hoped for.

  Who could this person be? When she looked over, the first person she saw was the cold and handsome Di Haoran, who was dressed in profound clothes like iron.

  "Big brother, I don't want to." Di Haoran replied.

  Gu Tianyou smiled and asked, "What's wrong? You can't forget that sweet girl in both lives?"

  The karma of the past is empty, and the new never forget the old.

  People who are not easily moved by emotions tend to be more persistent once they are moved.

  Di Haoran nodded and said, "Unless she changes, sooner or later, I will take her over."

  Huang Yong did not need to be looked over and took the initiative to say, "Big brother, I'll forget about it."

  Gu Tianyou nodded. He suddenly pointed at Li Chen and said, "It's him. My disciple is called Li Chen. He won't disgrace your precious daughter, right?"

  Xin Jisi frowned. With her eyesight, it was not difficult to tell that Li Chen's status in Gu Tianyou's team was obviously weaker than Di Haoran and Huang Yong's.

  \r \r \r

  Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "Big Sister Xin, what's there to hesitate about? My disciple has the Odin God Race bloodline, and his Golden Dou Qi has already reached the level of a ninth-grade high-grade. He is no weaker than me, and he is also my junior. After we become husband and wife with your daughter, we will be husband and wife of the same generation. Do you still not believe my sincerity?"

  Xin Jisi said, "He has the direct bloodline of the Odin God Race? How is that possible? Isn't your disciple from the surface world?"

  Gu Tianyou said, "What's wrong with the surface world? Why can't there be a direct descendant of the Odin God Race?"

  Xin Jisi questioned, '"I heard that the Heavenly Dao of the surface world has deteriorated for many years and cannot tolerate too powerful primordial spirit creatures. However, the Odin God Race is a race that the Great Leader discovered when he conquered the Heavenly Domain. As long as he grows up, he will have the strength of a peak eighth grade. With a little bit of pointers, he will be able to break through the limit. Since that's the case, how did he survive in the surface world?"

  Gu Tianyou said, "You don't have to worry about that. In short, his strength is just like mine. Although he is no different in age, the so-called one-day master is almost the same as my son. He is undoubtedly one of my family members. As long as your daughter marries him, I will treat him equally. It depends on your intentions now." Pausing for a moment, he asked, "How is it? Sister Xin, are you satisfied with this son-in-law?"

  Xin Jisi took a deep breath and asked reluctantly, "Didn't you say you thought my daughter was good?"

  Gu Tianyou smiled shamelessly and said, "Yes, I thought that she was a good match for my disciple at that time. Being my disciple's wife wasn't bad at all."

  Xin Jisi pondered for a moment before finally nodding. "As you said, Fiona married your disciple, Li Chen, and we established an alliance."

  Gu Tianyou chuckled and said, "There's no need for an alliance. Although I have no intention of being your enemy, I don't want to offend the Divine Kingdom's military. After all, the leader of the Northern Army is still the elder brother of our witch king. With this marriage, I can only guarantee that I won't help them attack you at any time."

  Xin Jisi frowned and said, "Then it's settled." '"You know, we originally planned to borrow a path from the Asians, but now a large number of the Ice Plains barbarians are blocked at the entrance of the Fallen Eagle Gorge in the north. The terrain there is dangerous, and the Asians are guarded there by the Wood Saint Laws. The Ice Plains barbarians' mages are useless …"

  "This matter is on me." Gu Tianyou said straightforwardly, "If you guarantee that the Ice Plains barbarians will not cause any damage to Sacred Leaf Town and the Asians when they arrive, otherwise, I can assure you that if any of the Ice Plains barbarians break this rule, I will personally summon the Ice Plains barbarians with the Lightning Lake Lightning Sea."

  "Alright, with your words, I'll go back and wait for your news and arrange for Fiona's marriage. The day the Ice Plains barbarian army crosses the Fallen Eagle Gorge, it will be the day I send my daughter to Sacred Leaf Town."

  The two sides would agree on a major matter and bargain over the details. All they could do was to prevent Sacred Leaf Town from taking any military action to assist the Divine Kingdom's military, as well as providing convenience in terms of logistical supplies. He also asked Sacred Leaf Town to take out the Desolate Lawn area as a temporary base for the barbarians in the Ice Plains before entering the sea to fight. And to provide the Ice Plains barbarians with some necessary food supplies to the extent that conditions permitted.

  Gu Tianyou agreed to the previous request straightforwardly. Only the last one was resolutely rejected. He did not provide a venue, nor did he provide food supplies. Furthermore, he solemnly reminded Xin Jisi that if the barbarian army of the Ice Plains dared to step into the territory of Sacred Leaf Town, it would be equivalent to directly declaring war.

  Daoist Wild Crane once said that the Ice Plains barbarians were the most terrifying race. The birth of this race was also related to the Great Leader. It was said that the Great Leader had brought over a race with a gigantic innate physique and a humanoid beast soul. They possessed an extremely good fighting gene and spiritual foundation. Before they were conquered by the Great Leader, they had once possessed a splendid civilization.

  They were born with the instinct to destroy and possess, and they loved liquor and slaughter, but they also loved poetry and literature. At the same time, some of them also possessed top-notch water ice magic talent. Especially their Ice and Snow Queen, who was praised by Tai Hao at the Jun Tian Grand Meeting as the most beautiful woman in the Origin World. He was also one of the top experts in the Skyquaking Origin Realm. It was said that the Ice and Snow Queen's magic talent was passed down from generation to generation. Once the previous Queen awakened her ability, the previous Queen immediately abdicated the throne and entered the Polar Royal Monastery.

  There was an inextricable grudge between this people and the Aryan people. They were always enthusiastic and wild. They liked to enjoy life and refused to follow a rigid lifestyle. They simply could not stand the strict classification and meticulous management of everyone by the federal government. So many years ago, the Ice and Snow Queen led her tribe out of the Federation, preferring to open up the Polar Wilderness as a territory rather than submit to the Great Leader's rule.

  Wild Crane once said that these barbarians of the Ice Plains had the instinct to plunder crazily. They loved to eat meat and blood. Anything that could be eaten in their stomachs, even humans, could be eaten as food by them. Therefore, Gu Tianyou was extremely resistant to the barbarians invading Sacred Leaf Town's territory.

  Xin Jisi fought for it a few times, but Gu Tianyou's attitude was very firm, so she could only give up in the end. To her, fighting for the northern defensive line of the Divine Kingdom was already on the verge of being launched, and the sooner she attacked, the more chance she had of winning the initiative. The Three-eyed Great Sage abandoned the ten thousand border troops and remained motionless. Most likely, he had already seen through the trap in the first stage of this plan. However, this plan was very huge. There was still the second and third stages. As long as Gu Tianyou didn't cause trouble, she still had a lot of chances to force that man into a corner.

  The two sides have decided to strike back to prepare.

  Gu Tianyou ordered Bai Su to arrange for the Griffin messengers to go to the Asians to communicate with Feigut's father, and how to let the barbarians of the Ice Plains pass through the territory of the Asians. Tell Ao Guang and the others not to return for the time being and monitor every move of the barbarians in the Ice Plains. If they dare to harm the Asians, they will definitely be eliminated!

  In the next few days, they first received a reply from Terminator Forest. Ao Guang and the other two brought the Asians to fight with the Ice Plains barbarians led by Prince Nicholas, and everyone was evenly divided. Under the restriction of the Wood Saint Laws, as long as anyone didn't reach the Utmost Saint realm, they wouldn't be able to display strength beyond the ninth grade. Under this premise, Prince Nicholas's Frozen Plains barbarians had no advantage over the orc giants in terms of individual combat strength.

  After receiving Gu Tianyou's order, they opened the Eagle Falling Gorge Pass and allowed no less than five million Ice Plains barbarians to pass through the territory of the Asians. Xin Jisi didn't hesitate to challenge the Wood Saint Laws and personally flew over to supervise the army of the barbarians in the Ice Plains with the Phoenix Dharma Form. Finally, he did not offend the Asians.

  These barbarians of the Ice Plains entered the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Area through a shortcut and directly entered the sea from the upper reaches of the Ancient Shang Dao trench. Xin Jisi kept his word and didn't let them enter Sacred Leaf Town's territory. Half a month later, Fiona Phoenix was sent to Holy Leaf as promised, accompanied by dozens of maids and servants, as well as the scimitar-wielding Abat, who stayed behind to open a tavern in Holy Leaf.

  Xin Jisi still couldn't be completely at ease with Sacred Leaf Town, so he publicly sent a spy to keep an eye on him. Although Gu Tianyou was not very welcome, he could not refuse.

  The Chengtou Battle provided the best explanation for Gu Tianyou's promise. For the entire town, including those adventurers who came here to look for opportunities, the fact that the new sheriff was strong enough to ensure that the rules were enforced fairly to the end was enough to make them feel at ease and settle down here.

  Sacred Leaf Town entered a rapid development stage. Farms, horse ranches, logging farms, breweries, around the needs of the adventurers, all walks of life sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain, revitalizing this small town that had just experienced the baptism of a catastrophe.

  Since Li Chen has married a wife, Xin Jisi shouldn't be looking for trouble in the near future. However, the Divine Kingdom's military did not make any movements. There were still three thousand frontier troops to support. After Yao Gonglin learned about the battle in the city, his stinking mouth became much more obedient.

  Gu Tianyou had been waiting for news from the Divine Kingdom. After waiting for a month, When the High Priest of the Ice Plains barbarians used the Level 11 Ice Forbidden Curse to freeze a third of the North Sea and turn it into a battlefield, When the 200,000 God's Blessing Army defeated a million Ice Plains barbarians, the Three-eyed Great Saint defeated Prince Nicholas and was plotted by the barbarian high priests, they had no choice but to lead their troops back to Great Sun Dragon City, and the God's Defense Line shrank by another 2,000 kilometers. However, he had never waited for a representative of the Divine Kingdom's military to ask about Yao Gonglin and the three thousand border troops.

  A month later, at noon, Gu Tianyou was in the courtyard of the town hall, lying on the ground with his upper body bare, enjoying the sunshine and the comfort of Little Fox Maiden's back-stepping service. Bai Su suddenly rushed over and reported, "My lord, someone from Great Sun Dragon City has arrived. He claims to be your old friend and requests to meet you."

  "An old friend?" Gu Tianyou was surprised and casually asked, "What kind of person?"

  Bai Su said, "A bald monk, you can't tell how old he is. He is holding a big Ironwood Fish."
