The tent became quiet.

Mei Changqing and Wang Guan were both pondering various contingency plans.

Qin Huan sat to one side, silently waiting for the moment when the big shot would arrive; in the midst of the room, only Wang Ling was continuously trembling, as he could clearly sense that the breath of death was approaching.

Several streaks of light flickered, and several figures emerged from the brightness, none other than the group from Fire Qilin Cave.

The Dry Flame Saint Child and Saint Child Huo Yuan led the way, followed by two Protectors. In fact, they were reluctant to get involved in this matter, but they had no choice as they were currently in the first and second battlefields where the interests of the battlefields were closely tied to their success or failure.

They were now firmly bound to the battlefield, and if they let Ling Xue’er wreak havoc on the border, it was very possible for the two Saint Heirs to encounter danger, and they had to intercept her at the earliest opportunity.

They hoped to stop the opponent outside the first battlefield to prevent extensive destruction within it.

“City Lords, what is the situation now?”

Saint Child Huo Yun came over and asked slowly.

“Saint Child Huo Yun, I believe you have all seen the news on the Immortal Spirit Daily—it’s all the work of this unfilial son of mine. I never expected that nurturing him for decades would result in such a bastard. As soon as Lord Ling arrives, I will immediately hand him over to City Lord Ling to deal with!”

Wang Guan’s expression was stern, and he spoke with some apology; he would still need the prestige of Fire Qilin Cave to reinforce his position, so he had to be more polite.

“I see. As for Prince Wang’s actions, this Saint Child has already heard some about it; indeed, it was a little inappropriate. No wonder he was singled out by the Kingdom of Women.”

Saint Child Huo Yun shook his head and sighed, this incident greatly hindered the progress of Fire Qilin’s dominance, and there was also growing resentment in his heart towards Wang Ling.

It was because of the other party that his series of plans might now have to be temporarily shelved.

And if Ling Xue’er fights recklessly on the border regardless of the consequences, might it also bring disaster on him?

“Yes, he has indeed angered the Kingdom of Women, and this unfilial son is to blame. It’s just that I’m not sure about what stance Lord Ling will take. We may still need both of you Saint Heirs to step in and persuade earnestly when the time comes.”

Wang Guan said with a chuckle.

“Well, that can be discussed. Fire Qilin Cave is a top force on the Mainland, and in terms of heritage, it is many times more profound than the Kingdom of Women. I believe Lord Ling will give face to our Saint Heir.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Wang Ba, who had been silent up until now, spoke cheerfully.

While he might be the weakest among this group, the powerful backing he had gave him considerable confidence.

With the relationship with Fire Qilin Cave, no one would dare to touch him; acting as a mediator and persuading Ling Xue’er should also be feasible.

“However, our Saint Heir cannot offer his influence too many times. If today passes without incident, I hope everyone will pay more attention to our Saint Heir’s matters in the future.”

Wang Ba continued, implying that helping others should come with its benefits.

“Naturally, with the strife for Fire Qilin’s dominance, this City Lord will offer his full support!”

Mei Changqing spoke up slowly.

“Heh, it seems that both City Lords might have forgotten about the presence of my Saint Heir. While Fire Qilin Cave has a great reputation, Saint Child Huo Yun alone might not have enough say in this matter.”

The Protector behind Saint Child Huo Yun was displeased.

Wang Ba and the two City Lords appeared to be getting along splendidly, seemingly without the need for them, which was quite upsetting.

“Of course not, I’m grateful that you both could speak on behalf of Fire Qilin Cave for the borderlands today. Once this matter concludes, I’ll help you two take out the Fire Qilin Saint Child and the Dry Flame Saint Child. Afterwards, in the strife between the two of you, I can assure you that the borderlands will not interfere!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Mei Changqing stated solemnly.

These words struck a chord with Saint Child Huo Yuan. It was clear to anyone that Saint Child Huo Yun, who resided in the first battlefield, would naturally obtain more resources from Mei Changqing. And with Wang Guan looking to Mei Changqing for guidance, if Saint Child Huo Yun received help from the first battlefield, then he, Saint Child Huo Yuan, would indeed be left in isolation.

“That would be very good.”

Saint Child Huo Yun nodded without saying much. They had already perceived that both Wang Guan and Mei Changqing were leaning towards Saint Child Huo Yun. There was no helping it; Wang Ba had seized the initiative by talking with the two City Lords all along and, moreover, in terms of strength, Saint Child Huo Yun was indeed more powerful.

It was only natural to receive more favor from the City Lords.

“Who is this?”

Saint Child Huo Yun glanced toward Qin Huan with a hint of puzzlement in their eyes.

“This is Miss Qin Huan, mentioned in ‘Immortal Spirit Daily’; although she’s one of the parties involved and has gone through these dirty affairs, she ultimately has affection for the battlefield and is willing to speak out and dissuade Ling Xue’er.”

Mei Changqing said with a light smile.

“I see. Indeed, if Miss Qin could speak, I’m sure the King of the Kingdom of Women wouldn’t make things too difficult.”

In Saint Child Huo Yun’s mind, things became clear. Behind them, Wang Ba also relaxed, with this connection, the likelihood of conflict was minimized as even the directly involved party wasn’t holding on to grievances. Ling Xue’er would most likely just take the person away, and that would be the end of the borderland’s farce.

It was then that thunderous roars erupted from the void, as if rolling thunder swept over, engulfing the entire first battlefield with a world-shaking momentum.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

In an instant, the people in the tent stiffened; even without seeing the scene outside, they felt as if a shadow had covered their hearts.

A heretofore unfelt chill spread throughout their bodies, as if a terrifying presence had descended.

Mei Changqing and Wang Guan exchanged a look, both seeing the alarm in each other’s eyes.

“What’s going on, Ling Xue’er doesn’t have this kind of power!”

“This aura, it has already far surpassed any of us here, but it’s definitely Ling Xue’er’s, what’s going on here?”

“No, this crazy woman didn’t come alone, hurry up and go out to see!”

Mei Changqing, as if suddenly recalling something, rushed out of the tent in a panic, looked up at the sky, followed by the others who also dashed out of the tent and looked towards the spectacular scene in the void.

In just an instant, they were stunned.

A palace appeared on the horizon, hidden and visible amongst the clouds, slowly approaching the first battlefield.

The expected woman did not appear; instead, there was only a palace, a white jade palace with Frost Cicada engravings, serene stone stairs, and the iconic statue of a woman in front, all of which told its origins to the world.

“That is the Cold Moon Palace from the Kingdom of Women, Mini Kingdom of Women, damn it, that crazy woman has moved the Cold Moon Palace over here!”

Wang Guan exclaimed in shock, his pupils trembling uncontrollably as he now realized the seriousness of the situation had far surpassed his expectations.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Wang Ba and the others were also completely panicked, as the palace in the void shattered all their illusions.

“What’s happening, City Lord Mei, didn’t you say we could just calm them down with a few words, just persuade them, and it would be settled?”

“This is going to be an all-out war!”
