The meeting hall was as spacious and spacious as a palace hall. Twelve stone pillars that were hugged by giant dragons supported the weight of the entire hall. Outside, lazy afternoon sunlight seeped through the gaps between the stone pillars and fell onto the ground, reflecting colorful rays of light on the sparkling and translucent stone slabs. Outside, there were rows of vigilant guards. Today, there were at least five thousand people stationed outside the meeting hall, which could be said to be unprecedented.
However, Baili Qin didn't seem to care about the mere 5,000 mortals.
Baili Qin took the teacup from the waiter's hand and sat at the round table facing Xi Yin. He crossed his legs and said, "After the Battle of the Divine Realm, the Spirit Mountains collided and the planes fused, causing the two planes that were originally unrelated to each other to fuse. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. Therefore, only one of the Shattered Cauldron Realm and the Celestial Pole Continent can be called king."
As he spoke, he drank a mouthful of tea and continued. "This time, my Martial Saint Emperor has dispatched me, Baili Qin, to lead 300,000 troops of the Empire to launch an expedition to the Shattered Cauldron World, and it's for the sake of seizing more land for the Darkstone Empire to replenish the strength of the Empire. I think my actions ought to be correct, right? What do you think, Lord Xiyin? "
Xiyin nodded. "Yes, Lord Baili Qin is working for the empire."
"Then …" Baili Qin's gaze became fierce, and the aura around him slowly rose. He stared at Xiyin and said, "Since Lord Xiyin is a Battle Angel sent by Ruler Claude to assist the Celestial Pole Continent in conquering the other planes, why do you repeatedly oppose the Blackstone Empire? You saved our enemy Kou Dingxi on the Dragon-shaped Island, and repeatedly caused trouble in Dongtian Commandery and Ling Han City. This time, you actually entered the Dragon Slaying Pass and openly opposed the Blackstone Empire. Why? Could it be that Lord Xiyin is openly disobeying the will of the ruler? "
"I'm not."
Xiyin's expression was indescribably calm. He said, "I think it's fine to conquer a world, but wantonly slaughtering people violates the principles of mercy and mercy in the Western Divine Realm. I believe the Marshal can't deny that your army has slaughtered people in Dongtian Commandery and Ling Han City, right?"
"That's right."
Baili Qin spread out his hands and smiled. "Massacring an entire city is one of the methods used to boost the morale of the army. This is a tradition of the Blackstone Empire that has lasted for tens of thousands of years. I, Baili Qin, do not have the ability to change it for now. I hope that Lord Xiyin can understand."
Xiyin smiled. "Therefore, there's no harm in letting me rule over these cities. At the very least, I won't harm the innocent, and I'll also gain more faith. Faith is the source of power for the Divine Realm and the Spirited Mountain. If the people hate the Western Divine Realm, then what can we gain by taking over the Shattered Cauldron Realm?"
"What do you mean?" Baili Qin raised his sword-like eyebrows. "In other words, Lord Xiyin wants to personally intervene in the struggle for supremacy of the continent, and wants me, Baili Qin, to withdraw myself?"
Xiyin said indifferently, "The Lord Ruler asked me to descend to the Lower Realm to help the Celestial Pole Continent seize the Shattered Cauldron Realm, but he didn't specify that I should help the Blackstone Empire seize the Shattered Cauldron Realm. If you, Marshal Baili Qin, can be the master of the Shattered Cauldron Realm, I, Xiyin, can do the same!"
"Good … Good …"
Baili Qin clenched his teeth and said, "Looks like there's nothing to talk about!"
Fu Yu said angrily, "Marshal, what's there to talk about with her? This little girl is sincerely opposing us just to protect the Shattered Cauldron Realm's army. Hmph, why don't we take action now and destroy her Dragon Slaying Pass!"
Han Shu held the Dragon Sword in his hand, and his gaze was ice-cold. He was already accumulating power and waiting to strike.
"Do you want to take action?"
Xiyin smiled. "Good … Good. If Marshal Baili Qin has decided to take action, then go ahead. I'll also leave a message for you. If I can help the Blackstone Empire, then I can also help the Tianji Empire. I believe that the Tianji Empire's Emperor Beiming Yuan wouldn't mind eliminating the Blackstone Empire's army in the Shattered Cauldron Realm's territory, killing two birds with one stone."
"Lord Xiyin wants to help the Tianji Empire?" Baili Qin's expression turned cold.
"Why not?"
Xiyin's expression was indifferent as he said, "Perhaps, helping the Celestial Empire is also possible. I have the decree of the Western Divine Realm. I believe that the armies of the Celestial Empire and the Tianji Empire will more or less listen to me. It shouldn't be difficult for the two great empires to join hands and destroy your Blackstone Empire first, right? Moreover, they will be happy to do it. "
"Hahahaha …"
Baili Qin laughed for a long time. "No wonder … Blazing Angel Xi Yan wants to take you as her sister. You are indeed courageous and knowledgeable. Alright then, since Lord Xiyin likes Dragon Slaying Pass so much, then Dragon Slaying Pass will belong to you. Generals, follow me back to camp! "
"Yes, Marshal!"
Everyone stood up simultaneously.
Xiyin said, "Forgive me for not sending you off!"
However, Baili Qin had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped and laughed. The cloak behind him trembled slightly. Without turning his head, he said as if he was talking to himself, "I have long heard that Lord Xiyin is Lord Xi Yan's sister and is also a brilliant disciple. Furthermore, you are the champion of this God's Chosen Trial and have awakened the Golden Wings. Therefore … I, Baili Qin, a god from the lower realm, would like to experience for myself and see how powerful Lord Xiyin is. I wonder if Lord Xiyin can give me some pointers?"
Xiyin smiled faintly. He knew that Baili Qin would not give up so easily. Even if Baili Qin could not kill him, he would at least want to defeat him to dampen the spirit of the Xiyin Army.
"Do you want to spar?" Xiyin said faintly, "Where?"
Baili Qin laughed heartily and said, "Since you and I are the highest commanders of the two armies, sparring cannot be treated as child's play. How about … in two hours, prepare yourselves and we will spar in front of the Dragon Slaying Pass. How about it?"
Tarilin frowned and said, "Marshal Baili, you are a God Emperor of the 87th Level Grotto-Heaven. Do you want to bully Xiyin, a God King of the 50th Level Grotto-Heaven?"
"It is only a spar. That is the end." Baili Qin said faintly, "I only want to know how powerful Lord Xiyin's techniques are. Why, is this not enough? If Lord Xiyin doesn't even have the courage to fight me, then I am afraid … he does not have the qualifications to occupy the Dragon Slaying Pass and the countless cities within it. "
"I agree. In two hours, we will spar in front of the pass."
"Haha, thank you, Lord!"
Baili Qin strode out of the meeting hall and mounted his horse. He said loudly, "Let's go back to camp. Order the three armies to go to the pass and cheer for me!"
He wanted to throw Xiyin's face in front of the two armies.
However, Xiyin had no other choice but to accept the challenge.
…
Outside the pass, the sound of drums thundered. In a short two hours, Baili Qin had gathered at least 50,000 powerful troops outside. They were beating the drums and cheering. The three armies were upright and upright.
The gate of the Dragon Slaying Pass slowly opened. Xu Jiantao rode on his warhorse and personally led the cavalry to cheer for them. The cavalry dispersed and spread out below the pass. The Purple Yin Flower war flag fluttered in the wind. It was very beautiful.
Xiyin floated forward with the Stars Sword in her hand.
Tarilin, Lake, Zhou Ximin, and the others had nervous expressions. In fact, they were the most conflicted and anxious. They had obviously come down to help the Celestial Pole Continent, but now they were fighting with the God realm experts of the Celestial Pole Continent. No one knew what Xiyin was thinking. Maybe Xiyin was even more conflicted than them?
Tarilin clenched her fists. Her stance was the most resolute among the six of them. She supported Xiyin no matter what she did!
Lake was Xiyin's pursuer. Moreover, he was Tarilin's playmate since childhood. Therefore, he might as well support Xiyin along with Tarilin. As for Zhou Ximin, he and Lake were good friends. Therefore, this was a chain reaction. The six of them decided to follow Xiyin without caring about the consequences.
At least, before they were banished from the Star Cave, Claude's order was for them to listen to Xiyin's orders. Therefore, following orders was never wrong. They wouldn't have to worry about the ruler's punishment if they took advantage of this loophole.
The six Battle Angels were less than a hundred steps away from Xiyin. This way, they could save her at any time.
Although Xi Yin was strong, her opponent was even stronger. He was a god emperor at the eighty-seventh level of the Grotto-Heaven. The disparity was too great!
…
Baili Qin floated over and unsheathed the sword at his waist. The blade was suffused with a frightening light. It was another treasure that was at least a Saint artifact. At the very least, Xiyin wouldn't have an advantage in terms of weapons.
"Buzz!"
Baili Qin gently swung his longsword, and instantly, streams of light flew around the blade and gathered into a thick divine power. Baili Qin's main law was Earth-type, and the thick feeling he exuded far surpassed other cultivators of the same level. He raised his eyes and said, "Lord Xi Yin, please enlighten me!"
Xiyin stepped out of the Stars Sword and pointed it at Baili Qin. She nodded and said, "Come!"
"Pfft!"
Lightning flashed. Baili Qin actually shattered the void. His sword slashed down from the sky. It was as fast as lightning. An ordinary person probably wouldn't be able to block it.
However, Xiyin's perception was far better than an ordinary person's. The Stars Sword shone brightly in front of his chest. He pressed the back of the sword with his left hand. He had to block this attack. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Bang …"
The earthen light and the light type godly power clashed. Instantly, it was obvious who had the upper hand. Xiyin and his sword lost their balance and fell backward. The air around them swirled rapidly. The power from the blade was too strong. Xiyin felt that he wasn't blocking a sword, but a huge mountain!
"Eat my second sword!"
Baili Qin's aura was ferocious. Once he gained the upper hand, he stabbed out a second time. The power in his blade was so strong that the ground where he flew past began to crumble. Cracks appeared everywhere he flew past. It was terrifying.
"Xiyin!"
Tarilin couldn't help but clench her fists. However, she knew that this wasn't the time to attack.
As expected, Xiyin, who was spinning in the air, let out a low shout. A small ball of light appeared around her sword. It was the Law Spirit Pearl of the Light element. Instantly, her strength was doubled. Her sword was unrestrained. With a "dang" sound, she shook off Baili Qin's second sword attack. This time, it was a draw. Xiyin took a few steps back, and Baili Qin was stunned for a second.
"What a strong pressure of godhood …"
Baili Qin's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but want to kill her. This girl was only at the fiftieth level of the Heavenly Abode, yet she could block an attack with sixty percent of his strength. How shocking was that?
He didn't say anything. Instead, he swung his sword upwards. Suddenly, the ground cracked. Stone spikes shot out from the ground towards Xiyin. Baili Qin was already planning to use the Law Spirit Pearl to suppress his strong opponent.
