This question plunged the main hall into silence once more.
Tie Binghun's expression darkened slightly before he slowly replied, "Yes, but only if the request does not violate the rules of Ancient Sacred Peak."

With one misstep, Ancient Sacred Peak could become a force under Thousand Kings Holy Tower. Who knew whether, several decades
