Di Tian spoke in a deep voice.
"That's right. If both sides want to negotiate, the prerequisite is that their strength must be evenly matched."
Di Tian coldly swept his gaze over Ling Xiao and the other two.
"Snow Empress and Ice Empress are indeed powerful, but they are not powerful enough before me."
"I came for the future of the Soul Beasts. This is not a negotiation; it is a notice."
Ling Xiao heard every word Di Tian said without missing a single one.
There was no anger on his face, not even the slightest emotional fluctuation.
He looked calmly at Di Tian.
"Di Tian, are you finished?"
Seeing Ling Xiao's expression, Di Tian's brows furrowed slightly.
This youth's reaction was completely different from what he had expected.
Ling Xiao spoke again. "Since you're finished, let me say a few words too."
Ling Xiao took a slight step forward and stood alone before Di Tian.
Ling Xiao stared straight at Di Tian.
Though his voice was not loud, every word was incomparably clear:
"You said you came for the future of the Soul Beasts. I believe that much."
"But you also said just now that you wanted to bring me under unified management."
Ling Xiao's tone suddenly turned cold. "At your core, you simply want to control me."
Those words were like a heavy hammer crashing hard into the hearts of every Ferocious Beast present.
Di Tian's voice was somewhat low. "You're right. That is indeed what I truly think."
"Countless Soul Beasts need you. And I am the only leader capable of consolidating all resources and securing the greatest benefits for the Soul Beasts."
"For the fate of the Soul Beast race, your abilities cannot be controlled by any force."
"That includes the Far North..."
Ling Xiao's voice
