Xia Yan, the master of the Great Yan Territory, the uncrowned king of the Pan-Asian Alliance, and one of the three giants of the Blue Planet Evolver Platform …
Every title was enough to instill fear in every evolver's heart.
He hadn't spoken for thousands of years, but once he did, his words carried a lot of weight.
Because of Xia Yan's words, Mengchuan, the Lord of the Heavenly Mansion, who had originally planned to give up, suddenly had a backbone. At the same time, dozens of lords jumped out to speak. They all supported the Heavenly Mansion and claimed that this was a righteous action.
They were all members of the Pan-Asian Alliance.
Xia Yan's influence was evident. No one dared to be disrespectful to him.
Only one person was an exception.
In the face of Xia Yan's tone, which sounded like he was lecturing a junior, Xia Feng just calmly replied, "Got it."
[Group Message: Xia Feng – Great Xia declares war on Mengchuan – Heavenly Mansion!]
Bai Xiaowen's gaze froze. This was already a few hours ago, but he could still feel Xia Feng's arrogance from between the lines.
Teach me a lesson? You're not worthy!
Xia Feng didn't give Xia Yan any face.
From the "time stamp" of the group message, after Xia Feng declared war, no one spoke for at least five or six minutes.
Almost all the active lords were scared stiff.
After a few minutes, the lords spoke one after another.
Some tried to persuade Xia Feng:
"Xia Feng, we're all members of the Pan-Asian Alliance. Why get angry over an outsider?"
"That's right. After all, Lord Mengchuan is upholding justice for the orphan of the Great Tang Territory. Xia Feng, you can't side with an outsider."
There were also some who gave Xia Yan a way out:
"Alliance Master Xia Yan, don't bother with Lord Xia Feng. He's too young and full of vigor."
"Yes, our Pan-Asian Alliance is a whole. You should think about the big picture."
Xia Yan's reply didn't seem angry: "Haha, I'm already so old. How can I lower myself to the same level as a young man? Little Feng is full of drive and determination. His future is limitless. "
The rest of the chat records were basically all important lords of the Pan-Asian Alliance coming out to mediate the dispute.
The focus of the mediation was, of course, Sky Mansion Territory, White Phoenix Territory, and Great Tang Territory.
After all, it had been less than half a year, and there was still a chance for the Great Tang Territory to recover.
In less than a month, the Great Tang Territory would never recover. At that time, it would really become history. Not to mention Li Jinen, the heir, even if Li Weichen came back to life, it would be useless.
In the end, Mengchuan took the initiative to propose a "reasonable" solution.
Duel!
The Heavenly Mansion Territory and the White Phoenix Territory each sent a representative to participate in the duel.
If Heaven's Sanctum won, White Phoenix Hill would have to give up the Great Tang territory, restore the boundary marker of the Great Tang territory, and hand it over to the successor of the Great Tang territory, Li Jinen.
If the White Phoenix Territory won, the Heavenly Mansion Territory would give up on declaring war on the White Phoenix Territory.
Because Bai Xiaowen was not present, this solution was temporarily undecided.
However, duels were also the most common way to resolve disputes between territories. If a war really broke out, it would be like when the Great Tang Territory invaded the White Phoenix Territory. The cost of starting a war at the realm gate was too great, and very few Lords were willing to bear it.
Now, everyone was waiting for Bai Xiaowen's reply.
This was also the reason why Bai Xiaowen had received so many private message invitations.
Bai Xiaowen scanned through the group chat history and only opened the private message list when he saw the latest message.
Most of them were Lords that he had never interacted with before and were just here to join in the fun.
There were only two that he was truly familiar with — the Queen Bee and Cantecie.
Bai Xiaowen was very grateful to the Queen Bee. Before Xia Feng spoke, she was the only Lord of the White Phoenix Territory who spoke in support of the Great Tang Territory. Bai Xiaowen would definitely remember this favor.
It was worth mentioning that Xia Feng did not send a private message. Perhaps he did not think it was necessary.
Bai Xiaowen first replied to the Queen Bee's private message invitation, then chatted with Cantecie for a while.
The two female Lords did not panic when they saw Bai Xiaowen. Instead, they praised him. After being humble, Bai Xiaowen asked for information on Mengchuan's territory.
Mengchuan's Tianfu Territory could be considered a fourth-tier territory according to Cantecie's rankings.
It was weaker than the three core territories and a powerful territory like the Great Xia Territory. However, it was still in the upper echelons of the older territories and was definitely not something that the declining Great Tang Territory could compare to.
As for Mengchuan's strength, Cantecie was not too sure. This was the answer that the Queen Bee gave.
A Level 17 Fighter Lord.
Mengchuan was not a Commander-type Lord, yet he challenged Bai Xiaowen, a Commander-type Lord, to a duel. This was truly surprising.
Back on the dinosaur planet, Bai Xiaowen's strength had been revealed to a few people in the Interstellar Alliance by defeating Golden Stone Lord Shi Yu. Mengchuan should have intentionally collected this kind of information.
In other words, Mengchuan felt that he could defeat Bai Xiaowen on the dinosaur planet with his own strength and the strength of his territory's army.
This was why he was so confident in challenging Mengchuan to a duel.
Of course, Mengchuan only proposed the duel because he was pressured by Xia Feng. To Mengchuan, the most stable strategy was to suppress the border with his army and defeat White Phoenix Territory with Tianfu Territory's many years of accumulation.
After Bai Xiaowen ended the private chat, he sent a message in the public chat.
He first tagged Mengchuan – Tianfu.
[Lv Wang – White Phoenix: Lord Mengchuan, your duel proposal is complete nonsense.]
A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples. The silent Lords instantly surged, and their avatars lit up one after another.
[Mengchuan – Tianfu: Watch your words, newcomer!]
[Lv Wang – White Phoenix: Your proposed duel lacks sincerity. You won't lose anything if you lose. You just have to give up on declaring war? What kind of logic is this?]
[Mengchuan – Tianfu: But the Great Tang Territory you took over isn't your territory. You took it by force. You won't lose anything if you give up on the Great Tang Territory.]
[Lv Wang – White Phoenix: Nonsense! From what I know, Tianfu Territory annexed two new territories. Why didn't Lord Mengchuan want to return the land to them? Now you're playing the role of the messenger of justice. Not only did Great Tang Territory fail to annex my territory, but it was also annexed by me. They only have themselves to blame. There's no need to talk about what's right and what's wrong. Everyone knows this very well.]
[Mengchuan – Tianfu: What do you want?]
[Lv Wang – White Phoenix: The duel is fine. But if you lose, you have to pay a price — a price equal to the Great Tang Territory! This is what you call a duel. This is fair. I want to choose one of your vassal territories and put it under the White Phoenix Territory.]
[Mengchuan – Tianfu: You're dreaming!]
[Xia Feng – Great Xia: Lv Wang is right. A duel is only fair if the stakes are balanced. Mengchuan, if you don't even have the courage to gamble, then what's the point of proposing a duel?]
The Lords' group instantly became lively.
Mengchuan felt bitter. The Lord of Dayan's support that he had been waiting for never appeared.
