The Powers of the World Flock to Chang'an City!

"Qinghe, what did you say?"

Emperor Xue Ye frowned upon hearing the words of Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue suddenly snapped back to reality and hurriedly feigned composure:

"Reporting to Father Emperor, your child means that if we could win over Chang'an City, what would we have to fear from any external enemy?!"

Ning Fengzhi shared this sentiment and quickly nodded in agreement:

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince speaks with great reason. If we could win them over to join our four-party alliance, what would we have to fear from Martial Soul Hall?!"

Having witnessed the true foundation of Martial Soul Hall, Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao both set aside their pride and nodded in agreement.

"Good!"

Emperor Xue Ye stood up abruptly and declared with majesty:

"In that case, I shall invite the three sect masters to accompany me to visit Chang'an City!"

Before anyone could react, Qian Renxue stood up suddenly to interrupt:

"Father Emperor, as the ruler of a nation, you should remain in the empire to oversee the situation during these turbulent times. Let your child go in your stead!"

Emperor Xue Ye did not sense anything amiss and smiled:

"Qinghe is truly thoughtful. In that case, let Marshal Ge Long accompany you for protection."

Qian Renxue hurriedly shook her head again:

"Father Emperor, Marshal Ge Long has just broken through to level ninety and has yet to hunt for his spirit ring, so that won't be necessary. Having the three sect masters accompany me will be more than enough!"

Emperor Xue Ye looked toward the masters of the Upper Three Sects and asked:

"Three sect masters, what is your opinion? Are you willing to accompany Qinghe on this visit?"

Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen had no objections and spoke solemnly:

"Visiting Chang'an is a matter of great importance. To show our sincerity, I have decided to invite Sword Douluo, another elder of my sect, to join Bone Douluo and myself on this journey!"

"My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan feels the same! I shall send word back to the sect shortly to dispatch a few more elders to join us!"

Just as Tang Xiao was about to speak, the Seventh Elder leaned in and whispered:

"Tang Xiao, now that we have formed an alliance with them, what difference does it make whether they visit or we visit? We should return to the sect now to discuss heading to Slaughter City to find your grandfather, Tang Chen!"

Tang Xiao found this reasonable and immediately declined.

Emperor Xue Ye and the other two sect masters could only express their regret.

Only Qian Renxue thought to herself.

It is best if the Clear Sky Sect does not get involved with Chang'an.

Otherwise, it would be disadvantageous for her future plans to take revenge on the Clear Sky Sect!

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City Imperial Palace.

Emperor Dai Xiaotian and his Empress had returned to the palace early.

They were currently discussing with their ministers how to respond to Martial Soul Hall.

The sudden update from the Sky Screen had left everyone present in shock.

"Father Emperor!"

Dai Weisi was the first to speak, breaking the atmosphere:

"At this moment, all factions will surely move to visit and win over Chang'an City. We, the Star Luo Empire, must not fall behind!"

Hearing this, Dai Xiaotian fell into deep thought.

In the past, he would never have lowered his status to court another faction.

But after witnessing the true strength of Martial Soul Hall, he had no choice but to change.

"My son speaks with great reason!!"

Dai Xiaotian stood up abruptly, scanned the room, and issued a solemn order:

"I have decided to lead the Empress to go personally. Weisi, take Zhu Yun with you and accompany us!"

Dai Weisi agreed excitedly, nodding repeatedly.

They were not worried about the monarch leaving the country; after all, the internal order of Star Luo was not something the Heaven Dou Empire could compare to.

With the current turbulent situation on the continent, all major factions were preoccupied with their own survival and could not possibly launch any maneuvers against them at this time.

Star Dou Forest, Life Lake.

Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, had previously led the various fierce beasts to emerge into the world.

Di Tian had already gathered and brought together the remaining powerful spirit beasts of the Star Dou Forest.

The Titan Giant Ape, the Sky Azure Bull Python, the three Qianjun Ant Emperor brothers, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

At this moment, Gu Yuena was sizing up these "new underlings" when she was suddenly drawn to the update on the Sky Screen.

The gathered Beast Gods and soul beasts were all shocked.

"To think such a human power exists on the east side of our Star Dou Forest? Humans and soul beasts coexisting... and the Golden Ancient Tree!!"

Gu Yuena and Di Tian both originated from the God Realm; how could they not know the immense value of the Golden Ancient Tree?

But before they could finish reeling from that shock, they were deeply captivated by the "The Ultimate" behind the Ark Gate of Chang'an City.

"My Lord, the 'The Ultimate' behind that gate might be able to heal your injuries!"

Several of the great Beast Gods, led by Xiong Jun, spoke up one after another.

Zi Ji even took the initiative to step forward, kneeling on one knee to volunteer:

"My Lord, your subordinate is willing to go to Chang'an City in person! If they are willing to share 'The Ultimate', we shall offer conditions to trade for it. If they prove unappreciative, I will then act according to the situation!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the other Beast Gods chimed in with their agreement.

Gu Yuena's purple eyes burned with intensity, and she was just about to nod in approval.

But at this moment, Di Tian suddenly stepped forward to interrupt, saying in a deep voice:

"My Lord, Chang'an City is, after all, a power established by humans. Our current understanding of Chang'an City is limited only to the Sky Screen's evaluation; we do not yet know the truth of their relationship with soul beasts!"

"Furthermore, I speculate that the various major human powers in the outside world will inevitably head there to curry favor for their own interests. We can wait for the human powers to scout the path first, then capture a few to interrogate. We should only act once we are certain that the situation in the city poses no harm to us!"

Gu Yuena nodded slightly and said with majesty:

"Reasonable! We shall observe for now. Do not act rashly and alert the enemy!"

"Yes!"

The Beast Gods replied in unison, their previous urgency gradually replaced by calm.

Gu Yuena's gaze turned once again toward the direction where the Sky Screen had vanished, her fingertips tightening unconsciously:

"Chang'an City... if that 'The Ultimate' can truly heal my injuries, no matter the price, I must obtain it!"

"And, coexisting with soul beasts? Hmph, such grand ambition. I would like to meet you, Ye Han!"

Not far away, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion watched this scene, looking up at the Sky Screen with eyes shimmering with longing:

"Chang'an City, where humans and beasts coexist—it seems like it could be quite fun!"

The Extreme North.

After searching to no avail, the four of them—Xue Di and her companions—returned to the core area just as the Sky Screen updated.

After the initial shock, their gazes were instantly drawn to the "three Tribulation Transcendence Pills" among the rewards.

"Bing'er, it's a Tribulation Transcendence Pill!"

Xue Di's eyes lit up as she looked at Bingdi, her voice carrying unconcealable excitement:

"Do you remember the Cultivation Pill I gave you earlier? If you take it alongside a Tribulation Transcendence Pill, you won't have to worry about the tribulation anymore. Even if we haven't found the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave yet, our combat power in the Extreme North can be greatly improved!"

Bingdi was, of course, on board; she was even more excited than Xue Di, a thick sense of exhilaration flashing in her jade-green eyes:

"Let's go, Xue'er. The four of us will go together and seize a Tribulation Transcendence Pill!"

Hearing this, Xiao Bai and A-Tai chimed in, eager to give it a try.

Xue Di rubbed her forehead with a helpless expression:

"You guys... sigh, you're so foolish! Didn't you see the terrifying defensive power of Chang'an? Moreover, judging by the evaluation, humans and beasts are equal in Chang'an City. Perhaps we can exchange for a Tribulation Transcendence Pill through peaceful means."

Bingdi looked around at her surroundings, frowning and putting her hands on her hips:

"Xue'er, what do we have in the Extreme North to use for an exchange? Should we send you over there?"

Xue Di flicked her forehead and said crossly:

"Stop talking nonsense. A favor is also a type of resource, you know. A Tribulation Transcendence Pill in exchange for a favor from the Extreme North—isn't that enough? I will go personally to negotiate."

Xiao Bai stepped forward at this moment and said with a silly grin:

"Mom, this is a turbulent time. As the Lord of the Extreme North, you should stay behind to hold the fort. Let your son go instead!"

Hearing this, Xue Di and the others cast skeptical glances at him.

It was as if they were asking: can a silly guy like you actually get the job done?

"Hehe, Mom, don't you worry. I broke through the two-hundred-thousand-year mark not long ago, and I can transform into a human at will. Handling a small task like this won't be a problem!"

As Xiao Bai spoke, he slapped his paws against his chest with a loud thud.

"Hmm... alright then."

Xue Di nodded in agreement and immediately began to educate him on the various problems he might encounter in the human world.

Chang'an City.

"City Lord, our Chang'an City has finally made the list!"

"Is it time for the reward collection phase now?!"

After seeing the updated content on the Sky Screen, Shangguan Wan'er looked at the City Lord, Ye Han, who was standing to the side, unable to hide her excitement.
