One sentence left everyone silent. The Glory Hall was the uncrowned ruler of the entire universe. They could refuse the Great Yu Empire, but they dared not refuse the Glory Hall.
"Clan chief, are you sure this is the Glory Hall's will?" one elder asked.
Baxium looked at Lixium.
Lixium coughed, glanced over everyone, and said slowly, "That's right. The regent of the Great Yu Empire made it clear: this is the Glory Hall's will."
The group exchanged looks. For a moment, no one dared speak.
"You all know that, during the recent war in the Iron Blood Territory, our Six-Fingered Tribe sent an elder there. Though he died, we still learned a little about the Iron Blood Territory. Lu Yin, the regent of the Great Yu Empire, was very active, and he met privately with an elder of the Glory Hall. This is highly credible. That's the most crucial point behind this alliance. Otherwise, if the Great Yu Empire had proposed it on its own, we wouldn't need to pay any attention," Lixium continued.
"How about this? If the Great Yu Empire can produce an official order from the Glory Hall, we can consider agreeing," one elder said.
The others didn't object. For countless years, the pressure exerted by the Glory Hall had been immense. That mountain had never lifted. Even when the Inner and Outer Universe were cut off from each other, they hadn't dared defy the Glory Hall lightly. What's more, the Iron Blood Territory had Elder Ruohua, whose battle power exceeded 300,000, while the Six-Fingered Tribe didn't even have an Enlightenment Realm Expert.
The clan meeting ended, and the others dispersed, leaving only Baxium, the clan chief, and Lixium.
"Elder Lixium, do you think the Great Yu Empire can produce an order from the Glory Hall?"
