"What? Xiyin is stationed in the Divine Heaven Fortress?!"
Baili Qin stared at Fu Yu and his subordinates in astonishment as he stood in front of the map. "What's going on? Why is Xiyin standing in front of us? If we don't conquer the Divine Heaven Fortress, we won't be able to advance any further. "
"This subordinate doesn't know either."
Fu Yu frowned, "It seems that Xiyin is also interested in conquering this continent. She has gathered more than twenty thousand people and called themselves the Xiyin Legion. Currently, the Xiyin Legion is the main force guarding the Divine Heaven Fortress."
"Does this Battle Angel want to be the ruler of the Shattered Cauldron Realm?" Baili Qin couldn't help but laugh, "Interesting. I wonder if Lord Claude of the Western Divine Realm will laugh or cry when he hears this news?"
"Marshal, what should we do now?" Dragon Rider Han Shu asked.
"This is not good."
Baili Qin frowned, "If the Battle Angel really occupies the Divine Heaven Fortress, we can't do it by force. If the Blackstone Empire attacks the Divine Heaven Fortress, we will be accused of disobeying the Divine Realm. After all, the Battle Angel represents the will of the Lord Ruler. Moreover … the members of this Battle Angel team aren't simple. Tarilyn is the successor of the Radiant Clan, Lake is the son of the Darklight Clan's patriarch, Zhou Ximin, Da Vinci, and the others aren't simple either. If we fight, we won't be fighting a Battle Angel team, but the major clans behind the Western Divine Realm. Their combined forces are enough to control half of the Western Divine Realm. Even the Lord Ruler will be wary of them."
"This …" Han Shu frowned, "If that's the case, then we can't conquer the Divine Heaven Fortress. We can only choose to attack the Dragon Slaying Pass. However, that Xu Jiantao is a bit tricky. He's a cunning guy. We already suffered a great loss in his hands."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Baili Qin laughed coldly, "Don't forget, we still have a total of 200,000 soldiers in our hands, and we also have 82 Dragon Knights. With this kind of strength, we can completely crush the Dragon Slaying Pass and kill all of Xu Jiantao's troops!"
"Marshal is wise. This subordinate will go and assemble the troops. We will attack Dragon Slaying Pass in two days!" Fu Yu was overjoyed.
"Don't worry."
Baili Qin's gaze was like lightning as he said, "We can't be rash this time. We'll send a few Deity level experts into the Dragon Slaying Pass in disguise. It won't be too late to make a move after getting a clear grasp of the situation. This time, I want to be absolutely safe. We definitely can't fall for that despicable Xu Jiantao's tricks again! In addition, leave 10,000 men to guard outside the Shengtian Pass to restrain the Xiyin Legion. "
"Yes, Marshal!"
…
In the Western Divine Realm, a spiritual mountain shrouded in fog was radiating with light. The Western Divine Realm held a grand meeting every year. Clan heads from various planes, as well as some gods with outstanding cultivation, would gather here. Ruler Claude was precisely using this grand meeting to understand the movements of the various clans. After all, there were too many gods in the Western Divine Realm, and it was impossible to control them all.
In the evening, Xi Yan appeared in the divine palace and said respectfully, "Lord Ruler, the 17 clan heads are already waiting in the guest hall."
"Alright, we'll head over now."
Claude turned around, and the light on his face slowly dissipated. To her astonishment, it was an extremely handsome male face.
However, Xi Yan's gaze was indifferent. After following Claude for so many years, she was already used to this face. Moreover, with Xi Yan's cultivation, she had long since grown accustomed to the appearance of a physical person. No matter how handsome a man was, in her eyes, he was just flesh and blood.
The guest hall was located on the west side of the spiritual mountain where the Hall of Ruler was located. It was a very simple and unadorned building, but it had a long history. It could even be traced back to the war of the gods 100,000 years ago. Thirteen God Emperors had conspired to kill Ares, the king of all gods in the Western Divine Realm. At that time, Claude had been one of the thirteen God Emperors.
When Claude, Xi Yan, and Eva appeared in the guest hall, they saw that the hall was filled with lit candles. A dozen clan heads in white robes sat in their respective seats. Some of these clan heads were very young, while others were very old, with white hair and beards. Only a few of them were young. Some of them had lived for so long that they could live forever, but their faces were still slowly aging over the course of tens of thousands of years.
Everyone stood up and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Ruler! Greetings, Lord Blazing Angel Xi Yan, Lord Blazing Angel Eva! "
"Dispense with the formalities."
Claude gracefully sat down in the host's seat, smiled, and said, "My lords, you've all worked hard!"
"It is our duty to work for the Divine Capital!"
Everyone took their seats, with Xi Yan and Eva sitting on either side of Claude.
Claude's gaze swept across the clan heads, and a handsome smile appeared on his face as he said, "I've invited everyone here for a secret meeting before the big meeting. In fact, there's only one thing."
"Oh? Please speak, Lord Ruler. "A white-robed elder said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Talon." Claude cleared his throat and said, "The last Divine War was a few years ago, when we went to war with East Heaven. Everyone should have heard of this matter. Many clans also participated in that Divine War, and this Divine War could only be considered a draw. We and East Heaven both lost many gods. East Heaven lost three Emperor Gods, 27 God Kings, and nearly a thousand Ultimate Gods, while we lost 18 four-winged angels and nearly 2,000 two-winged angels. After this war, Divine Capital can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and there is a shortage of talents. Therefore, the purpose of this meeting is to hope that the major clans can transfer a part of their strength to Divine Capital, under my direct command."
"This …" Light Clan Head Talon was a little hesitant, frowned, and said, "Lord Ruler, there has been no news of my daughter Tarilyn since she participated in the Chosen God Trial. This subordinate only learned a few days ago that her name has disappeared from the Western Divine Realm's roster. I don't know where my daughter went. Tarilyn hasn't returned yet, and you want her again? This … is a little inappropriate. It's not easy for the major clans to cultivate talents! "
A group of clan heads nodded. "Yes, yes!"
Another old clan head said, "My son Lake also disappeared after the Chosen God Trial. I heard some rumors that they joined the Battle Angel Squad and were exiled from the Western Divine Realm. I don't know if it's true?"
The corner of Claude's mouth raised. "Yes, it's true. The Western Divine Realm has always cherished talents. Tarilyn, Lake, and the others are the outstanding generation of the Western Divine Realm, so I exiled them and let them train outside the Divine Realm. I think the patriarchs will understand."
His attitude was a little overbearing, implying that it didn't matter if they understood or not, but they had to understand.
Talon was exasperated, but after a sigh, he remained silent.
The other elders also had indifferent expressions on their faces.
Claude's eyes turned cold. "What? When the Divine Capital needs the loyalty of the major clans, have you all retreated? Don't forget that no egg can remain intact when the nest is turned upside down. The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor of East Heaven is a crazy person. His desire to destroy the Western Divine Realm hasn't died. Once the Divine Capital is destroyed, do you think you can keep your fiefdoms? "
Talon coughed. "Ruler, you misunderstand. It's not that we don't want to be loyal, but we really don't have much strength left."
"Is that so?"
Claude smiled. "But I heard that the major clans have produced many talents in recent years. Let's take Lord Talon's Radiance Clan for example. In the past 3,000 years, you have produced a total of seven God Emperors, more than 100 God Kings, and countless Godly Venerables. Does this count as having no strength?"
Talon's expression darkened.
The other patriarchs were also silent. It was obvious that Claude was digging up their flesh, and it was something they couldn't refuse.
After a while, Claude said, "The 17 clans here must each provide 20 God Kings and 100 Godly Venerables to serve in the Divine Capital next month. You have to do it whether you want to or not. This is your responsibility as vassals."
As he said that, Claude's eyes were like sharp swords. "Xi Yan, you will be in charge of accepting these talents. If there are any clans that haven't completed this task by the end of next month, Xi Yan, you can lead the Divine Capital Army to annihilate them. Even if you have to destroy an entire realm, it's not like you haven't done this before."
Xi Yan nodded. "Yes, My Lord."
Blazing Angel Xi Yan was a name that made many clans tremble in fear. When the Yuehua Clan openly rebelled and colluded with the Northern Heaven Realm, it was Xi Yan who led the Angel Army to annihilate them. The hundreds of gods of the Yuehua Clan were all killed, and even the three realms under their seal were annihilated.
Xi Yan had a faint smile on her face as she said softly, "Elder Talon, your daughter Tarilyn and my sister Xiyin are good friends. Please don't make things difficult for me …"
Talon's body trembled slightly. "Yes, I will. I only hope that Lord Ruler can protect my daughter and let Tarilyn return safely."
"Don't worry, Lord Talon. Tarilyn is a future talent of the Western Divine Realm. I can't not cherish her."
"Then, thank you, Lord Ruler."
The leaders of the various clans all expressed their willingness to contribute their talents. Claude was full of smiles. This was exactly what he wanted to see. Xi Yan, however, frowned slightly and remained silent. She seemed to have guessed that Claude was going to do something crazy again.
… …
Late at night, the meeting ended. Claude returned to the temple and brought with him a beautiful two-winged angel. She didn't remember the girl's name, but Xi Yan knew that she was Claude's woman. There would be new angels serving Claude every day. This was an open secret.
In the sky, the stars were dim. Xi Yan and Eva sat at the top of the Spirit Mountain, their four snowy legs kicking the clouds in the air.
"What is the Lord Ruler doing? Gathering so many people." Eva didn't understand.
"Someone else is going to be exiled," Xi Yan said.
"Huh?" Eva was stunned. "It can't be, right? Does the Lord want to exile millions of Divine Kings and thousands of Godly Venerables to the Celestial Pole Continent? "
"What else?"
Xi Yan's eyes were like water. "There hasn't been any news from the Celestial Pole Continent. The Lord is getting impatient. The Shattered Cauldron Realm has already become a mortal battlefield between the Eastern and Western Divine Realms. Pray, Eva, that we won't be exiled."
Eva: "…"
