"There's also the Star Gathering Array in the back mountains. Make those Array Masters improve faster; our time is limited. Star Coins can quickly enhance the strength of ordinary warriors. Don't be afraid to waste resources; once people die, resources are useless!"

"Yes, Clan Leader!"

"And those Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, Yue Meng and Dabai should also take on more responsibility. Remind them to cultivate more, at least to refine the most basic elixirs."

"Alright!"

"Wait, call Ku Tou and Akam over; the Seven Kill Army should be on the move!"

Chen Jiuge suddenly thought that the Seven Kill Army, which he spent a lot of resources to form, seemed to still be idle in the tribe.

"Yes!"

Before long, Akam and Ku Tou arrived at the Hundred Beasts Plain.

"Clan Leader, you called us?" Akam asked curiously while stroking his shiny forehead.

"Looks like you're doing quite well recently, you've both gotten a bit plump!" Chen Jiuge teased.

"You're too kind, Clan Leader."

"Hmm, I have a task for you: catch some Fierce Beasts with unique abilities for me. The Seven Kill Army's resources are considerable; don't disappoint me with your first mission, or others will have opinions about you!"

"Don't worry, Clan Leader!"

"Off you go!"

"Ku Ruo, it's been a long time since you've returned; you should head back for a while!"

"I need to relax as well!"

"Yes, Clan Leader, it has indeed been a long time since returning; I still miss the little ones at home!"

.......

True Realm, Star Moon City.

"Mo Yu, have you made up your mind?"

"What other option is there?" Mo Yu's face showed a trace of bitterness.

In a thousand years, the structure of the True Realm has changed drastically; aside from the Holy Lands, ordinary sects have almost no space to survive.

The influx of Heavenly Gift Realm cultivators, along with the full involvement of the Holy Lands, has made the True Realm chaotic.

Star Moon City still maintains independence, largely thanks to the Reincarnation Sacred Land and the cooperation with the first batch of warriors from the Heavenly Gift Realm tribes. Star Moon City's own strength cannot stand alone.

Even with Bai Ling and two Daluo Second Step White Tiger Clan powerhouses, Star Moon City cannot be preserved.

"Chen Jiuge and Shuibing have sent no news yet, I fear something happened on their side; even passing through the passageways may not lead to their location!"

Because most of those who passed through left Soul Lamps in the city, and most remain intact.

"The passageway likely has issues, a stable channel communicating with another world, even if not vastly different worlds, is beyond Star Moon City's capabilities. Although I don't know how the City Lord managed initially, the probability of problems is high."

Bai Ling leaned on a staff and approached the city wall, her spiritual eyes looking toward Mo Yu, saying, "The Vice City Lord's idea is actually correct."

"Star Moon City can no longer be protected by us; the people of the Reincarnation Sacred Land have already taken control of most of the city's authority. Although our strength is not lacking, compared to a Holy Land, the difference is significant!"

"Now that our strength is undiminished, finding a way out in another world is a good idea!"

"Bai Ling, what you say is reasonable, but no one knows what the other world is like!"

"At least staying in the True Realm, at worst we'd live a bit frustrated. The main opponents of the Holy Lands are from another world; they're unlikely to kill us all!"

Bai Cheng, one of the two Daluo Second Steps of the White Tiger Clan, refuted.

"Do you think the Human Clan using us as cannon fodder is unlikely to happen?" Bai Ling said calmly.

"Then what? We're not pushovers; those Holy Land elders haven't emerged yet, we can still protect ourselves; at worst, we'll hide in a remote corner for a few Hui Yuan!"

With Chen Jiuge's help, the White Tiger Clan no longer faces a gap between generations; once the next generation grows, the clan's overall strength can increase several times.

So Bai Cheng is not eager to venture into another world.

"Haha, Bai Cheng, wouldn't you like to advance further?" Bai Ling remarked.

Bai Cheng's fearless face shifted slightly, then shook his head: "Of course I would, but taking the whole White Tiger Clan into an adventure in an unknown world? No, thank you!"

"Bai Ling, you and I both care deeply for our clan; sacrificing ourselves is unnecessary. I refuse to believe you'd abandon the clan for a slim hope of advancement."

Bai Ling sighed, then touched her increasingly aged face, saying, "Why not believe it? Death is the world's most terrifying thing; I cannot escape it either!"

"You know my lifespan well."

"Moreover, do you think the White Tiger Clan can still avoid it?"

Following Bai Ling's Divine Sense, Bai Cheng noticed changes at the corner of Star Moon City.

Hidden disciples of the Holy Land greedily watched everything in Star Moon City, particularly the Beast Guardians' Holy Land, which was excessively overbearing, almost like obsessed individuals, constantly tailing the city's Spiritual Beasts.

"Just a bunch of ignorant juniors; even their elders wouldn't dare to covet our offspring so boldly!"

"Hoho, how do you know these juniors aren't sent by their elders to provoke us for a legitimate reason to act?"

"You...hmph, everyone knows you, Bai Ling, have a silver tongue. I won't argue with you, but the White Tiger Clan won't take risks!" Bai Cheng retorted angrily.

"Bai Ling, you make valid points, but regardless, the White Tiger Clan is an important member of the Demon Clan. You Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts have no retreat, but we do!" Bai Wen, another elder of the White Tiger Clan, appeared silently atop the city wall.

"Bai Wen!"

Bai Ling's expression remained unchanged, but internally she sighed: "Bai Wen, Bai Cheng, one scholarly, one martial. With Bai Wen appearing, the idea of the White Tiger Clan as a whole venturing into another world is impossible now."

"I understand, so as allies, we should discuss future actions carefully!"

"Vice City Lord Mo, it seems you have some plans in mind, correct?"

Mo Yu slightly bowed to everyone, then said deeply, "Honored elders, although we've only briefly cooperated, the process has been quite pleasant!"

"The Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts and the White Tiger Clan have all benefited; none of you would deny this, right?"

"Deny it? What is there to deny!"

A cold aura rose from the shadow behind Mo Yu, coming from another key figure of the Nightmare Clan—the First Dream!

No one anticipated the sudden rise of the Nightmare Clan, especially after the True Realm acknowledged them as part of the world. Even the Holy Lands disregarded them, merely seeing a new Alien Race in the True Realm.

As the deepest connection to the Nightmare Clan, Star Moon City knows well from Chen Jiuge how deeply they hide their true strength, much stronger than outward appearances!

Before Chen Jiuge went to the Heavenly Gift Realm, he speculated that Meng Ze was just a surface leader of the Nightmare Clan, with others secretly controlling it.

Reality mirrored Chen Jiuge's thoughts; Meng Ze wasn't the true leader of the Nightmare Clan, not even a prominent figure among them!

The sides of her captivating face were covered in scale-like patterns, which, rather than detract from her appearance, added a touch of exotic beauty.

"According to the previous plan, the White Tiger Clan provides sufficient resources to satisfy us and then gifts Star Moon City's ownership to them!" The First Dream licked her lips greedily and said, "If you're reluctant with resources, offering us some White Tiger corpses will do; we're quite accommodating!"

"Silence!" Bai Cheng, with a more impatient nature, was just about to act but was stopped by Bai Wen.

"Brother?" Bai Cheng looked puzzled at Bai Wen; the First Dream's words were practically insulting the White Tiger Clan, so why stop him?

Ignoring his fussy brother, Bai Wen surveyed the crowd and replied, "Clarify things now?"

"Isn't it a little early for this?"

"Since everyone gathered unexpectedly, an early discussion is no harm!" Wu Tian chuckled.

During the conversation, Wu Tian had already moved beside Mo Yu, obviously indicating that Mo Yu had united with Wu Tian, or that the former Heavenly Gate Cultivators were now entirely allied with Mo Yu's group.

This realization made Bai Wen's heart sink.
