This is none other than the leader of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, the Six-Bead Bodhisattva, and the White-Robed Avalokiteshvara.

At this moment, the white-robed Guanyin had her eyebrows furrowed, and her beautiful face looked somewhat pained.

His body was trembling slightly, and he was holding onto the wall with one hand, as if he was in great pain.

Upon seeing the white-robed Guanyin, Huyan Dashan felt as if his legs were filled with lead and immediately knelt down to kowtow.

The Huyan tribe practices Tantric Buddhism, which is why he named his daughter Huyan Guanyin.

The White-Robed Guanyin has been operating throughout the Western Regions for many years, has a large number of believers, and enjoys considerable prestige.

Huyan Guanyin, like her father, bowed down and respectfully greeted him.

"The devout woman Huyan Guanyin pays homage to the Bodhisattva of the Next Life."

Huyan Guanyin wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, looking somewhat embarrassed.

She wanted to let go of the wall, but her body was unsteady, so she had to continue to maintain a solemn appearance while holding onto the wall.

"Please rise, both of you. The Huyan tribe's refrain from plundering the people is truly a great act of merit."

Having received praise and affirmation from the White-Robed Guanyin, Huyan Dashan had already forgotten why the White-Robed Guanyin had appeared here in the first place.

The observant Huyan Guanyin was very curious, but she dared not ask and could only worship and give thanks with her father.

After the father and daughter left, the white-robed Guanyin let out a long sigh of relief, then gritted her teeth and, supporting herself against the wall, slowly moved towards her small courtyard.

With every step the white-robed Guanyin took, she felt a tearing pain, even though she had a body nearly as strong as a Vajra. The pain was excruciating.

"It's not that dual cultivation techniques are beneficial to women, but that men will be gradually drained, so why am I in so much pain now?"

"Moreover, after Li Chang'an's concubines slept with him, they all became more beautiful and charming, while I felt like I was being tortured."

"Although the process was as wonderful as a dream, the pain afterwards was unbearable. What exactly happened..."

"Ouch... I have to stay in bed for days every time before I can get up. Is Li Chang'an targeting me specifically?... It hurts so much..."

Actually, the White-Robed Guanyin was overthinking things.

The dual cultivation techniques of the Western Regions Tantric sect are somewhat sinister; the one with lower cultivation level in dual cultivation will suffer a strong karmic backlash.

Therefore, it is now the White-Robed Guanyin who is helping Li Chang'an cultivate, but his own cultivation level has not only not increased, but he will also suffer a backlash afterward.

She thought about cultivating with Li Chang'an all day long, and Li Chang'an couldn't let her down. As for the consequences, she could only bear them herself.

Cultivating with the White-Robed Guanyin not only enhances one's cultivation but also strengthens relations with the Waleng tribe—a win-win situation.

The main hall of the Prince's Mansion.

Li Chang'an sat in the main seat, looking solemnly at Hu Yanda and his daughter.

"Greetings, Your Highness, the King of Tang!"

Qingniao wielded the Moment Spear, while Jiangni held the Dragon Sparrow Sword, standing gracefully on either side.

Huyan Guanyin and her father knelt on the ground nervously, not even raising their heads.

"Looked up."

Huyan Dashan has the ordinary appearance of a grassland man, but Huyan Guanyin can be described as having the most beautiful appearance in the country.

The girl wore a white dress typical of Han Chinese women. Her features were delicate and well-defined, and her figure was slender, graceful, and perfect.

Huyan Guanyin's eyes flickered, and she stole a glance at Li Chang'an before daring not to look at him again.

It's quite unexpected that the infamous demon king is actually a handsome and dashing young man.

Huyan Dashan had prepared a lot of things to say, such as how the Pugu tribe was brutal and vicious, and how he had long admired the Tang emperor's wisdom.

But Li Chang'an said, "Huyan Guanyin, you speak."

Huyan Guanyin's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she was momentarily speechless, unsure of where to begin.

But she knew that the opportunity was rare, and that saying the wrong thing could cost the tribe its chance to survive.

She mustered her courage, her voice trembling with unease.

"Your Highness, I am willing to serve as your slave, only asking that Your Highness help the Huyan tribe."

Chapter 219 Xu Fengnian Returns to Liang! Eight-Diamond Battle Armor!

Li Chang'an was well aware of the situation with the Huyan tribe; the Embroidered Uniform Guard had already investigated it.

The arrival of the Huyan tribe to join them was exactly what Li Chang'an wanted, providing the perfect opportunity to implement his strategy of sowing discord.

Supporting the weak Huyan tribe, they formed a buffer zone around Shazhou, while the tribes deep in the grasslands fought amongst themselves.

These tribes are all kept to a certain size, and no single tribe is allowed to become dominant. This is the most successful strategy proven in history.

The nomadic people of the grasslands were never the biggest threat to the Central Plains dynasties; the biggest threat to the Central Plains dynasties always lay within themselves.

Huyan Guanyin stammered, "The Huyan tribe is willing to submit to His Highness the Tang King and defend His Highness against those brutal large tribes."

"People are divided into good and evil. People from the grasslands and the Central Plains are the same. Our Huyan tribe lives by herding horses and sheep, but we are still harassed by powerful enemies."

Li Chang'an's lips curled up slightly. "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Huyan Guanyin glanced at Li Chang'an's eyes, then nervously shrank back.

"I'm terrified... I've been having nightmares every day on the way here."

Jiang Ni and Qingniao suppressed their laughter as they watched Huyan Guanyin describe Li Chang'an as if he were a demon.

Huyan Dashan's face showed despair. If he said that the Tang King wouldn't be killed on the spot, would he?

“Your Highness, my daughter is innocent and has no ill intentions. Please forgive her.”

Li Chang'an said calmly, "I don't keep idle people around. Taking you in would be of no benefit to Shazhou."

"I am not a lustful man. Do you really think you can exchange a pearl of the grasslands for my protection?"

Li Chang'an remained unassuming, but Hu Yanda felt immense pressure, his back soaked with sweat.

If Li Chang'an does not accept their allegiance, the Huyan tribe will truly be in imminent danger.

Hearing Li Chang'an say this, Huyan Guanyin became anxious.

“Your Highness, the warriors of the Huyan tribe are willing to help you defend Shazhou.”

"As long as Your Highness can protect your people, women and children, ten thousand warriors are willing to fight to the death for Your Highness!"

These are truly heartfelt words. Now, we either have to be completely devoured by the Pugu tribe, or we have to let Li Chang'an protect the women and children.

Even if the young and strong become cannon fodder after surrendering to Shazhou, at least the clansmen can still survive.

Huyan Dashan knelt down in submission, saying, "Your Highness, as long as Your Highness is willing to protect the Huyan tribe, the Huyan tribe will be a sharp weapon in Your Highness's hand!"

Li Chang'an was satisfied; the infighting on the grasslands was about to begin.

The Huyan tribe is just the beginning; other different tribes will join in the future.

"In that case, let's keep Huyan Guanyin as a maid for now."

"As for whether or not to protect the Huyan tribe, I need to see your sincerity."

Upon hearing Li Chang'an agree, Huyan Guanyin's bright eyes sparkled with joy and confidence.

With her looks, she could definitely win Li Chang'an's heart if she took the initiative!

"This servant will serve Your Highness with all my might!"

Huyan Dashan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Huyan Guanyin was kept, they would have succeeded halfway.

As long as the Pugu tribe is told that the daughter of the Huyan tribe is a maid in the Tang Prince's palace, the Pugu tribe will never dare to harass the Huyan tribe again.

Otherwise, what awaits them is the sweeping siege and annihilation of the Tang Dynasty's iron cavalry.

Not long after, Huyan Guanyin saw her father off at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Huyan Dashan repeatedly instructed Huyan Guanyin not to offend the Tang Emperor and to try her best to meet any of his requests.

The fate of the entire Huyan tribe is still in Li Chang'an's hands. If Huyan Guanyin is driven out by Li Chang'an or killed directly, the Huyan tribe will be finished.

Huyan Guanyin's eyes gleamed with determination. "Father, rest assured, your daughter will serve His Highness the Tang King wholeheartedly."

When Huyan Dashan left, he had already made up his mind that he must work hard!

The more grassland people he could gather, the more useful he would be to Li Chang'an, and the more protection he would receive from Shazhou!

After Huyan Guanyin entered the Prince's mansion, she was certainly not an ordinary maid, but someone specifically assigned to serve Li Chang'an.

Huyan Guanyin was also very dedicated and willing to do anything; she was very gentle.

With such a stunning beauty by his side, Li Chang'an would tease her from time to time, and the more he teased Huyan Guanyin, the more at ease he felt.

Hongshu and Pei Nanwei, two concubines who often served in the backyard, were both very friendly to Huyan Guanyin, which made Huyan Guanyin feel at home in the palace.

Time flies, and another six months have passed. Li Chang'an's six counties in Shazhou have become even more firmly established.

The Huyan tribe gathered more than 10,000 people from other small tribes and migrated to the vicinity of Shazhou, sending women and children to settle in Gaochang County.

This small tribe has finally gained a foothold on the brutal grasslands where the weak are the strong.

It’s spring again.

Liangzhou, Qingliang Mountain.
