Seven days after Meng Chen's conversation with Cui Dongsheng, news of the rebellion of the four great families reached the imperial capital, with strong demands that the court release the heads of the four great families.

Huang Wujin showed no mercy and sent back the heads of the three patriarchs, Wang, Zheng and Li. It was said that the three great families were furious at the time, and the elders in the families were furious and threatened to chop off Huang Wujin's head.

After hearing this, Meng Chen sighed, thinking that it seemed that the Cui family was in trouble too.

Donghuang City was unusually peaceful, like the calm before a storm.

Cui Xuanyu often looked at his father and sighed alone, the sadness between his brows could not be dispelled.

She herself was actually quite confused. Their tokens were still taken away by Huang Wujin. Her purpose was to divide the Cui family and weaken the power of the four major families. Cui Dongsheng and Cui Xuanyu's purpose was to preserve some of the Cui family members.

As long as they choose to defect to the imperial court, Huang Wujin should leave them a way out after the purge is over.

Three days later, Huang Wujin came to the Cui family residence again, and his eyes instantly locked on Meng Chen.

Meng Chen also frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, do you want to see me for something?"

Huang Wujin raised his red lips in a mocking arc: "If you can help me with something, I will let you leave the East Phoenix Territory. Otherwise, when the war is over, you will die!"

Meng Chen frowned, his expression instantly turned cold: "So, Your Majesty is planning to fight to the death? To be honest, I still have a dozen puppet talismans scattered outside. As long as I die, they will immediately spread those things!"

Huang Wujin had a faint smile on his face: "Shameless man, do you think you are the only one who can threaten others?" Meng Chen's expression instantly became serious: "What do you want?"

Huang Wujin looked at Cui Xuanyu with a playful smile on his face: "If you dare to threaten me again, then I will kill you first, then sell Cui Xuanyu to a brothel, and kill all the people in the Cui family! And the Ji family, all nine clans will be wiped out, leaving no one alive! Can you afford this price?"

Meng Chen was silent. Cui Xuanyu on the side glared at Huang Wujin and said, "Haha, I will commit suicide first when the time comes. I will never give you such an opportunity. If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

Huang Wujin felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw her determination. If they really had to fight to the death, she would be the one who would suffer the most. He couldn't just kill everyone in the East Phoenix Territory, right?

After a long while, Meng Chen said in a deep voice: "I promise you, just tell me what it is!"

Huang Wujin shook her head, opened a space channel, and stepped in first. Meng Chen understood what she meant and wanted to follow.

Cui Xuanyu grabbed his sleeve worriedly, pleading: "Meng Chen, even if we die together, you can't take risks alone!"

Meng Chen shook his head: "Don't make a fuss, I'll go with her to see what's going on. It may not mean death. Don't worry, if it's dangerous, I won't agree."

Cui Xuanyu then worriedly let go of Meng Chen's sleeve, and the latter stepped into the space passage and disappeared into the courtyard.

When Cui Xuanyu was at a loss, Cui Dongsheng, who had been silent, spoke up: "I guess it was the mediator who took action."

"Mediator? The Immortal Dynasty is fighting against the four great families. In the entire Donghuang Territory, who else is qualified to mediate?" Cui Xuanyu was surprised.

Cui Dongsheng pointed to the sky and said bitterly: "If they intervene, the matter should be solved well. Let's wait for the news!"

Cui Xuanyu wanted to ask more, but Cui Dongsheng was unwilling to say anything.

Taiqing Palace. Meng Chen stood below, looking at the woman sitting on the throne opposite him, and said coldly: "Tell me what's going on quickly, don't waste time!"

Huang Wujin didn't care about his current mood and said coldly: "Someone is coming again on the thirteenth day."

Meng Chen was startled, but soon calmed down: "What does it have to do with me?"

Huang Wujin couldn't help but roll his eyes: "The four great families, including the Cui family, have colluded with the Thirteen Heavens and are in cahoots with each other. This can be called treason. If you want to protect the Cui family, they must have a relationship with you!"

Meng Chen looked around and saw no chairs or stools. He felt unhappy and said, "What do you want me to do? Just tell me!"

Meng Chen didn't have the time to talk nonsense with her, so he decided to have a frank talk.

Huang Wujin said solemnly, "The four great families have reached some kind of agreement with the Thirteen Heavens. They want the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty to decide the outcome of this dispute through a duel at the Nascent Soul stage! If I win, the four great families will hand over two-thirds of their resources, respect the court, and pay tribute every year. If I lose, the imperial power will be restricted, and the government will be presided over by the cabinet. The imperial power will become the symbol of the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty."

Meng Chen was speechless: "You agreed? You have been planning for so many years, you won't really agree, right?"

Huang Wujin showed a helpless expression on his face, and said bitterly: "I have agreed. If I don't agree, the war will start and there will be a lot of suffering. By then, most of the people of the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty will probably die in the war. For the sake of the people of the world, what if I take this gamble?"

Meng Chen did not doubt her intentions. After all, the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty belonged to her. If she had a little sense of responsibility, she would have thought of the common people. Of course, it was really admirable that she could do it.

Huang Wujin saw that Meng Chen's eyes seemed to have changed when he looked at him, and said awkwardly: "It's not just for the sake of the people of the world, but also to sever the connection between the family and the Thirteen Days. As long as the connection between the family and the Thirteen Days is completely cut off, my throne will be secure!"

Meng Chen was speechless. It turned out that the most important reason was to protect the country!

"You should have a lot of strong people under you, right? Why do you insist on letting me participate?"

Huang Wujin stared into her eyes and said word by word: "Because we don't have enough people, we need to gather twelve people to go to the secret realm for the decisive battle, and my clone cannot participate, so there will be an unknown position left. I think you can do it."

Meng Chen just cursed that he was unlucky. Since coming to Donghuang Territory, a lot of troubles have happened.

Meng Chen stared at her without blinking, and after a while he said, "Then why do you insist on driving me out of the East Phoenix Territory? We both have leverage over each other anyway, so why bother?"

Huang Wujin's eyes darkened and he frowned, "No, you must leave the East Phoenix Territory, otherwise, even if I lose my reputation, I will kill you!"

Meng Chen felt confused and indignant. Huang Wujin calmed down for some reason and sighed, "You can take Cui Xuanyu away with you. Anyway...anyway, as long as we are not in the East Phoenix Territory, it's fine."

Her attitude was so firm that Meng Chen knew he could not outperform Huang Wujin, so he could only agree reluctantly.

This woman's attitude towards me seemed to have improved a lot during this period. I guess she really encountered a problem that she couldn't solve, so she was so polite.
