The sudden stabbing caught the lords present completely off guard. Blood Dragon, who had been shouting just moments ago, stared at Xue Ying with a dark expression and demanded:
"Xue Ying, do you know what you're doing? You actually dare defy the alliance's orders! You've even committed treason. It seems you no longer want your territory!"
Having been toyed with, Blood Dragon suppressed his rage. Yet he did not attack immediately, instead watching the three figures above with vigilance.
From their earlier conversation and positions, it was clear that Uchiha Yuu was the strongest among the three and also the lord of this territory.
His heart filled with apprehension. Was Xue Ying an idiot? Clearly not. So why had he chosen to betray the alliance at such a crucial moment? It meant Xue Ying believed this alliance was doomed to lose.
But the lords would never believe that. They had staked more than half their fortunes—how could they possibly lose to a territory that had only just been established?
"You came to visit my territory without even bringing gifts? Since you weren't planning to offer any, I can only forcibly take your lives as gifts."
Uchiha Yuu stepped forward, and the immense pressure emanating from him forced Blood Dragon to retreat.
Knowing that war would inevitably break out today, Blood Dragon was just about to attack when a wave of drowsiness surged up from the depths of his heart. Obito Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan had affected the surrounding area.
Anyone who entered this region would unknowingly fall into Dreamland.
The originally imposing alliance became nothing more than a rabble beneath Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan.
The suppression of life levels left them unable to muster any thought of resistance. Of course, pulling so many people into an illusion at once was also
