Evil Aura and the Four Souls Jewel; Long Gu Jing's Movements

Western Country, royal palace.

Moonlight poured down from the skylight in the dome, illuminating the entire hall as brightly as day.

Toga sat within.

His silver-white hair fell over his shoulders, and his amber eyes gleamed coldly beneath the moonlight.

A freshly delivered confidential report lay spread across the long table before him.

"The Heavenly Wing General of the Birds of Paradise Tribe has devoured the Four Souls Jewel and reached the peak of the King level.

"The Demon Wolf Tribe has nearly been exterminated, with its remaining members scattered in all directions."

Just a few lines, yet they were like a boulder thrown into a tranquil lake.

The hall fell utterly silent.

The generals of the Western Country stood on either side. Some were old demons who had lived for centuries, while others were young powerhouses who had risen in recent years.

At that moment, everyone's gaze rested on Toga's face, awaiting his decision.

"My lord."

The speaker was a towering Bear Demon, his fur black as ink.

His name was Xiong Yue, and he was one of Toga's bravest generals.

"The news of the Four Souls Jewel has already spread throughout the Demon Realm. Even trash like the Birds of Paradise can use it to reach the peak of the King level.

"If we continue to stand by, it will sooner or later threaten the borders of the Western Country."

He paused, his voice lowering.

"I request permission to lead an eastern campaign and seize the Four Souls Jewel."

Toga did not answer immediately.

His gaze lingered on the confidential report for a moment before he slowly raised his head and swept his eyes over the generals in the hall.

"Who else wants that jewel?"

His voice was not loud, yet it reached every ear with perfect clarity.
