Zhao Wutian inhaled sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone can see that Bai Clan was superior to the other two since it requires Two other Top Clan to keep a single Bai Clan in check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Li and Zhao disciples were whispering through clenched teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then-one figure after another stepped forward from the Li and Zhao fleets- each radiating enough pressure to shatter mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Li Clan and Zhao Clan had brought three Grand Elders each. Six Grand Elders in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas the Bai Clan had five Grand Elders-more than Li or Zhao Clan, but fewer when Li and Zhao were counted together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air trembled as they met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Clan's Grand Elder, Li Wufei spoke first with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... Bai Chu. I thought your bones would have turned to dust by now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Elder Bai Chu returned the smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could I? I was simply waiting for you to finally reach my level. But alas, it looks like your strength is the same as 30 years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wufei's smile stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Chu, you dare bring that up? If not for my spear breaking in the middle of the fight, how could I have lost to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wufei said angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still the same excuse? Li Wufei, grow up. When will you admit your loss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Chu said nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the other side, Grand Elder Zhao Henglong stepped forward, eyes full of mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, well... Bai Qingshan. Seeing you still breathing is truly shocking. I remember the last time we met-you were howling in the middle of my Four-Directions Formation, unable to break free for three whole days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud snort came from the Bai side. Bai Qingshan's beard practically stood on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is rich coming from the man who set up a formation in advance! Just say it-you were afraid of fighting me directly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Henglong's eyebrow twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lost, and yet you speak so loudly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't lost. If you fight me fairly, you would lose a hundred times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Qingshan snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being able to use Strategy is also important but I guess you won't know about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only them, other Grand Elders were also bringing up their old history, trying to humiliate the others with past events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the more they converse, the angrier they were getting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air between them crackled like tinder waiting for a spark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These weren't random insults-they were all real history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old grudges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old humiliations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old victories that still felt fresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On any other day, the Grand Elder groups would have started a sky-shattering fight already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And truthfully?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked one sente nce away from doing exactly that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tension peaked-three groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleven Immortal Realm experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All staring each other down with a thousand years of accumulated hatred, rivalry, and wounded pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which was terrible news-because all three clans were supposed to be allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they started a fight here, the Royal Family would have no choice but to intervene... and that would make everything messier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cultivator on all three fleets straightened immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Royal Fleet's flagship parted its formation-and a man stepped forward into open air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War Minister Xiu Yucheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Esteemed Grand Elders of the Bai, Li, and Zhao Clans,\" he said, voice firm yet polite, \"it is a great honor that Immortal Realm experts such as yourselves have chosen to personally join this campaign.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the simmering hostility dulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiu Yucheng continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand there are many... memories between your noble clans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A subtle phrasing, but everyone understood what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of those memories involved shattered mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the Beast Tide is gathering even as we speak. The Royal Family humbly requests that the three great clans restrain themselves-for now. And think about greater good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"for now\" carried a masterful neutrality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't saying they couldn't fight later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not when the Empire still needed them alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And truthfully, the Three Great Clans fighting each other was great news to the Royal Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the three being on equal standing with the Imperial Family wasn't very good for the Imperial Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the possibility of their forces weakening was always great news for the Royal Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, they can't afford that as they need to deal with High-Level Beast Tide and Demonic Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Xiu Yucheng's words weren't good enough to stop these Old Monsters, in the presence of all the other people, they still needed to maintain their dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they didn't argue and stopped arguing with each other. Xiu Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief.
