As soon as the Old City Master Li said this, the whole conference hall exploded in uproar, because no one from the Nightmare Demon Palace, Soul Hall, Elemental Gate, Business Association, and Soul Pet Palace had expected that Old City Master Li would use Duan Xinhe’s life as the stake in this major powers’ competition!

“I, Li Sheng, declare here that once the Zhe Dragon egg appears, it will definitely belong to the person or power that kills Duan Xinhe. If anyone tries to play tricks in secret, scheming to take the dragon egg after the party who kills Duan Xinhe obtains it and making Li City a place of bloodshed, then don’t blame me, Li Sheng, for being impolite. I will kill whoever I need to and won’t waste my breath on you,” said Old City Master Li angrily. His words silenced everyone in the room, suppressing even their whispers.

Everyone present possessed both status and power, and supported by their huge forces, Old City Master Li’s imposing manner shocked them all.

“Fox Elder, it seems that City Master Li Sheng is not only respected because of his status, right?” Chu Mu couldn’t help but be amazed by the city master’s aura.

“Li City Lord Li Sheng is from an earlier generation than your father and has long been a local overlord. He is the kind of character that no one wants to provoke. His strongest main pet’s combat power is comparable to that of the Blue Sky Demon Spirit Emperor in the Forbidden Domain. He is recognized by everyone as the top master in the entire Zhanli Realm. Among those present, only Qin Lie Feng of the Soul Covenant is qualified to compete with him. Even Lord Yu of the Soul Hall and Vice City Master Xiao Ren of the White Nightmare Demon City have to yield.”

“Li Sheng is a man of his word. Since he said that whoever kills Duan Xinhe will get the dragon egg, I guess even those guys from the Soul Covenant wouldn’t dare to act recklessly, at least they wouldn’t dare to make any moves in front of Li Sheng,” said Fox Elder.

Old City Master Li’s words carried great authority, causing many people to feel uneasy and began to consider the information about Duan Xinhe.

“Old City Master, we naturally follow your orders, but now even the shadow of the Qingzhe Dragon has not been found yet, and Duan Xinhe’s life has nothing to do with whether the Qingzhe Dragon can be found. Are you not making some of us work in vain for a month?” said Elder Yu De of the Elemental Gate, raising objections first.

Old City Master Li stared at Elder Yu De from the Elemental Gate and snorted coldly, “How long you work has nothing to do with me. Those who obey the rules can stay; those who don’t can leave now.”

Old City Master Li didn’t leave any room for negotiation, and his indifferent gaze swept across the various forces.

As expected, although this rule made all the forces feel very unexpected, no one really opposed it. Everyone present was a part of major powers, and it would be disgraceful for them to fight openly over the Zhe Dragon egg. Moreover, their superiors wouldn’t approve of them starting a battle over this.

“Since no one is leaving, let’s talk about the details.” Seeing that everyone was following the rules, the city master continued.

“As I said before, all the major forces have to send people to deal with Duan Xinhe. To be fair, each force will send five people who will be responsible for searching for and killing Duan Xinhe. And those over the age of forty from the major forces should stay out of this. It’s not necessary to break your old bones over killing Duan Xinhe, and it’s embarrassing for others to know that you are involved. As for whether the people you send will be killed by Duan Xinhe, don’t ask me. If you don’t have the strength, don’t compete for treasures. Cultivate for a few more years before coming out.”

Old City Master’s rule again made many people unhappy because not allowing those over forty to participate would exclude a large number of experts who were mostly over forty.

Therefore, after the Old City Master made this statement, the Elemental Gate, the Business Association, and the Li City Aristocratic Families all raised objections.

However, before they could voice their opinions, the Old City Master didn’t give them a chance to speak and continued, “Let me finish before you express your opinions.”

“Each major force will send two people, with no age restrictions, to deal with the Qingzhe Dragon. Whoever tames the Qingzhe Dragon will own it. I want to make it clear beforehand that the Zhe Dragon egg is not included. After subduing the Qingzhe Dragon, you must verify with every force that if there is a Zhe Dragon egg inside, it must be handed over to the one who kills Duan Xinhe.”

Old City Master’s words changed the expressions of everyone present. However, the major forces also realized that this competition had become rule-bound. Whoever violated the rules would probably be eliminated, so they temporarily held back their objections.

Hearing the Old City Master’s words, Chu Mu immediately showed a puzzled expression and communicated with Fox Elder through Soul Sense, “Isn’t the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon’s strength nearly invincible already? How can the city master only allow the major powers to send out two people to deal with it? Even if all the major powers unite, it would still easily escape and there would be no talk of subduing it.”

“Perhaps the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon has already suffered heavy injuries, or the major powers all have treasures that can subdue the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. Oh, when they say ‘subdue,’ they don’t mean signing a soul pact with it. At most, they put it into some soul capturing equipment. Although there are very few soul capturing equipment that can hold creatures like the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, the major powers are prepared, and the treasure should be ready,” explained Fox Elder.

Chu Mu frowned. With so many powers united against the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, if the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon was in its prime state, even if they united with these people, they might not be its opponents. However, if it suffered heavy injuries, the situation would not be very optimistic. After all, the people present were all experts.

“Lastly, I, Li Sheng, will provide a young pet valued at 50 million as a reward for the young generation from major powers that find the Qingzhe Dragon. The first to find the dragon will receive this reward. It must be stated that only the chosen young generation teams are allowed to search for the Qingzhe Dragon. Others are not allowed to interfere. If anyone violates the rules and is discovered, that force must withdraw from all my Zhanli Realm Seventh Level or higher cities. I, the World Lord, do not welcome those who do not follow the rules. Likewise, the young team that finds the Qingzhe Dragon’s hiding place must share the information with all major powers, not keeping it secret and secretly sending people to deal with the Qingzhe Dragon. If discovered, the same punishment will be applied,” World Lord Li Sheng continued.

World Lord Li Sheng’s words were powerful, not allowing any rebuttal. It seemed that if anyone dared to say a word against it, that force would have to withdraw from his territory.

Some World Lords would try to please these major powers, hoping that they would increase their presence in their territory to boost development in all aspects of their Earth Realm. After all, wherever these powers were, there were bound to be Soul Pet Masters.

However, the Zhanli Realm had abundant resources, which the major powers needed for their economy, connections, and territory. If they were to withdraw from this Earth Realm, the losses they suffered would be immense and far more severe than the unknown Qingzhe Dragon. In this situation, the major powers indeed dared not make any small moves, for if their branches were expelled from the Zhanli Realm due to this incident and blamed by the giants at the main branches, they could not bear the responsibility.

“Li Sheng is really something. If it were any other World Lord, some major powers might have stirred up trouble. Li Sheng divided this big cake into three parts: the young generation, middle-aged generation, and elderly generation. Each took part in the competition, which did not interfere with each other but was connected. Li Sheng not only stabilized the recent turbulent situation in Li City, but also made those ambitious big shots calm down,” Fox Elder sighed.

What Fox Elder said was exactly what Chu Mu had in mind, making Chu Mu admire such an impressive World Lord.

However, now Chu Mu couldn’t help but worry about the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. After all, if everyone was competing in an orderly manner, the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon would not be able to take advantage of the chaos and escape.

“The search for the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon is entrusted to the younger generation. The best method is to delay as much as possible, not letting those people find the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, and giving it enough time to heal. In this way, it will not be restricted by these people,” Chu Mu thought to himself.

Chu Mu figured out his strategy: if other young people were looking for the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, he would interfere with them and prevent them from finding it!

“Let me remind you, youngsters, that the Qingzhe Dragon should be in its pupation period. If you see the pupa thread, you can report it directly and don’t go exploring further. That would be the same as seeking death, understood?” the World Lord specifically warned.

As he said this, the World Lord’s gaze intentionally swept over the young generation members in the back seats. Almost all the young generation members had arrived, representing each major power. However, they were all in the back seats and could only listen without speaking. Only when the members of the young generation had enough strength to enter the main seats could they speak, a rule that was almost universal everywhere.

“Then today, everyone will disperse first. Within tomorrow, you must each provide me with three lists. Those not on the list should stay aside and not meddle in other people’s business. Moreover, this matter does not allow the participation of forces beyond those present. You all should know what to do, right?” said the World Lord.

The powers all nodded their heads.

Generally, in such a crucial matter, the first thing major powers would do is not compete with each other, but to conduct a sweep, eliminating unqualified, inferior, or lone powers from this cruel arena to avoid any unnecessary trouble. This also belonged to the major powers’ dominance, which was only related to strength.
