Chapter 1829

"If you're backing down now, what's the point of Baobaozhai even existing? Just take these human nations and surrender to Baobaozhai outright!"

Tan Ming roared: "Chen Feng, how dare you!"

Su Yang sneered: "Didn't you say it yourself? I'm acting for the greater good—for peace in the Central Region—so all its races can be spared the suffering of war!"

……

The entire assembly hall was utterly silent, not even a pin could drop.

In this silence, Tan Ming's heavy breathing stood out sharply.

Su Yang's final words—"for the greater good, for peace"—turned Tan Ming's face a deep purplish-red.

Su Yang had enraged Tan Ming to the point of wanting to strike!

Tan Ming unleashed his full aura; the pressure of a God-Rank High-Grade powerhouse filled the entire hall.

Everyone felt that killing intent!

The terrifying killing intent of the former president, Baobaozhai's God-Rank High-Grade powerhouse!

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

At that moment, in the deathly silent hall, sharp clapping echoed.

Everyone mechanically turned their heads toward the source of the applause.

Xia Na, under the gaze of all, showed no fear, clapping loudly and clearly.

She smiled at them all: "Why are you all staring at me? Don't you think what my Master said makes perfect sense?"

Yun Shuying wanted to laugh, but dared not.

She merely lifted her head, gazing at Su Yang, whose expression was calm and unruffled.

She realized this little man had become more charming than ever before!

Unexpectedly, Xia Na's interruption shattered the standoff.

Tan Ming quickly calmed down, gradually withdrawing his killing intent.

As former president of Baobaozhai, he was no man without depth.

He understood: Su Yang was merely speaking in extremes—he would never dare strike Su Yang here!

If he truly struck Su Yang, the whole world would laugh him to scorn!

But then Su Yang, arms crossed, said: "Senior Tan, I appreciate the killing intent you just showed… though I'd prefer it be directed at Shenlongshang Alliance!"

Uh…

Was he being scolded by Su Yang?

By a God-Rank Mid-Grade Beast Tamer?

This was outright insubordination!

A surge of rage instantly rose in Tan Ming's chest, ready to explode…

But at that moment, a soft but sharp voice cut through—the long-silent president, Tan Zhiqing, finally spoke:

"Enough! Stop shouting. This is the assembly hall. I called you here to discuss solutions, not to argue!"

"Senior Tan, you're an elder—you must control your emotions. Su Yang is merely voicing his opinion. I summoned you all precisely so everyone could speak freely. Don't act like you're about to draw your weapon just because Elder Chen Feng disagrees with you!"

"Remember: you're an elder now, not president!"

"Even if you were president, you couldn't act like this!"

Hearing Tan Zhiqing reprimand Tan Ming, everyone froze in shock.

If those present weren't God-Rank experts, they'd have doubted their own ears!

What in the world was going on?

Why did President Tan Zhiqing sound like she was defending Elder Chen Feng?
