Building Bridges and Forging Cooperation

Golden Crocodile Douluo froze for a moment, then broke into a grin. "Sure. It's been ages since I last went out to stretch my limbs. The last time I visited Heaven Dou City was more than a decade ago.

"But Brother, wouldn't it be a bit too much for both of us to go? I'm level ninety-eight, and Le Zhengming is level ninety-four. Anyone who didn't know better would think we were going to attack the Heaven Dou Empire."

"That is precisely the effect we want." Qian Daoliu spoke calmly. "Since we are making a public appearance, we must ensure that no one dares underestimate Worship Hall.

A glint flashed through Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes. He had followed Qian Daoliu for many years, so he naturally understood the deeper meaning behind his words. Worship Hall had endured in silence for so long; now, it would finally reveal its edge to the world.

Le Zhengming was more cautious. He asked, "Grand Worshipper, what about the Pope... will she have any objections?"

Qian Daoliu glanced at him. His tone was calm, yet carried unquestionable authority. "Worship Hall does not need the Pope's approval to act."

Heaven Dou City is Xue'er's territory. Once you arrive, follow Xue'er and Zhao Ming's arrangements in all matters."

Le Zhengming accepted the Angel Token with both hands
