Her countenance remained composed.

Most of the guards in Baizhou Land were novices in the realm of cultivation. No matter how many advanced upon her, they were all destined to succumb to the immense pressure she exerted. Fear did not occupy her thoughts.

In the realm of cultivation, victory hinged not upon numbers but rather the disparity in one’s cultivation level. There existed chasms between different tiers of cultivation, making such disparities insurmountable.

These individuals were but ants in her presence.

Should she choose to, she could easily claim the life of the King of Baizhou Land in a mere instant. Yet, Gu Chaoyan had no intention of such an act. She held a different objective in mind, understanding that perceptions were deeply entrenched in individuals’ minds due to their environment and history. Ending their lives would serve no purpose; her aim was to reshape their beliefs.

Upon the King of Baizhou Land’s command, the guards of Baizhou Land surged forward. However, they crumbled before they could draw near Gu Chaoyan. The sheer pressure she exuded inflicted torment upon them. Attempting to advance would only result in being repelled by her spiritual energy and incurring internal injuries.

Though the mercy she displayed spared them from severe harm, it was a considerable struggle for them to rise again. After their previous ordeal, they found no will to rejoin the fray. The pressure alone threatened their lives, and they were well aware of this.

Guard after guard succumbed, forming an unbroken chain of defeat.

Gu Chaoyan, in contrast, stood her ground, apparently expending no effort, yet her influence compelled these individuals to kneel.

The King of Baizhou Land wore a vexed expression. Determined to exact retribution, they now found themselves at a loss, stunned by the unexpected turn of events. This woman possessed an astonishing power.

It was as if she could singlehandedly bring down Baizhou Land’s palace.

In that moment, the King of Baizhou Land experienced a profound revelation as to why the Emperor of Jinwei Land had acceded to such an unreasonable request and permitted the cultivation of Jinwei Land’s women. The Emperor likely had little choice in the matter.

This unforeseen turn of events left the King grappling with a pressing dilemma.

If the current situation persisted, it would be untenable. Beyond the substantial casualties incurred by Baizhou Land, their national strength had been grievously weakened. If Jinwei Land were to entertain hostile intentions, Baizhou Land would find itself in an even more perilous predicament. Furthermore, Jinwei Land possessed considerable renown.

The envoy before him was appointed by Jinwei Land out of respect for Baizhou Land. Yet, Baizhou Land had initiated hostilities against the envoy, merely in response to a provocation. If Jinwei Land were to employ this pretext to deploy troops, given the present circumstances, Baizhou Land would likely be vanquished by Jinwei Land.

This state of affairs was untenable.

After a careful assessment of the situation, the King of Baizhou Land urgently commanded, “Stand down, all of you.”

Addressing Gu Chaoyan, he said, “Miss, it is all a misunderstanding.”

“You’re here on a diplomatic mission to Baizhou Land, and our nation extends a warm welcome to you. This is simply a misunderstanding. Further conflict would strain the relations between our two countries.”

“Baizhou Land and Jinwei Land are neighbors, despite our proximity.”
