”Left Protector, if today they asked you to sign the Blood Soul Scroll, or you two, would you still speak so righteously?” The Green Vulture stepped forward, looking at the three whose expressions had drastically changed, his lips curled with sarcasm.

It was obvious that his stance was also on the side of Right Protector Jun She, so there was no need to pretend to be submissive in front of the traitors like the Golden Soul.

”You!” Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Golden Soul and the two of the Five Great Champions beside him changed, their expressions halted. Especially the former, whose eyes widened, appearing extremely gloomy.

”That’s right! Left Protector, and you two, this matter, the Great Chief is the one directly involved, perhaps you should not meddle in it? After all, Yun Zhen Pill King didn’t choose any of you three, did he?” A deep rumbling voice echoed. It was the middle-aged man with horns who slowly stood up and spoke.

He hadn’t spoken earlier because he wasn’t good with words, but now he found an excellent opportunity for sarcasm.

Indeed, if Yun Zhen Pill King favored you three of Golden Soul, then why not let you sign the Blood Soul Scroll? Or have you already signed it? Heh, three traitors!

Upon hearing these words, the atmosphere inside the hall grew tense once more.

How could the Golden Soul and his two companions of the Five Great Champions not feel helpless, exchanging a glance, casting a look of ’their hands are tied’ towards the sullen-faced Huang Lie standing beside them?

If they don’t want to completely burn their bridges, they certainly shouldn’t continue this conversation. After all, they were currently in the midst of a forced change of leadership, but here, the Green Vulture was stirring things up.

Seeing this, Huang Lie’s face grew even darker. Suppressing the gloom in his heart, Huang Lie directly ignored the meddling Green Vulture, stepped forward, and coldly raised his hand toward Batian seated on the throne.

”Great Chief Batian, is this your answer to us?”

”Answer?” A light, indifferent laugh came from the throne. Batian looked at Huang Lie before him and said softly, ”Do you think you are qualified for me to give you any answer?”

Upon hearing this, Huang Lie’s expression changed dramatically, angry veins bulging on his forehead. He then took a deep breath and stared at Batian, coldly saying, ”I represent Yun Zhen Pill King!”

”If it were not for Yun Zhen Pill King, I’d crush you with a single staff! Do you believe it?” Batian said indifferently. A terrifying Demon Qi spread out, extremely fearsome. Within that Demon Qi, one could vaguely see a thick black shadow, like a giant staff towering through the heavens and earth.

”Hiss! Golden Bear Staff?” Huang Lie’s gaze immediately stiffened, and then his face changed dramatically, a chill spread across his back.

Under Ghost Wolf City, the only staff-shaped weapon that could be so terrifying that it made Huang Lie feel trembling was indeed the top-level Magic Artifact, Magical Treasure, the Golden Bear Staff held by Batian of Black Wind Gorge.

A top-level Magic Artifact is the pinnacle among Magic Artifacts! Also known as Magical Treasures. It’s classified and determined by past crafting techniques, and the number of restrictions within the Magical Treasure after becoming an artifact.

A minimum of sevenfold restrictions is required to be a top-level Magic Artifact, Magical Treasure!

Above sevenfold restrictions and below fourteenfold restrictions, it is called a Silver Magical Treasure.

Above fourteenfold restrictions and below twenty-onefold restrictions, it is called a Golden Magical Treasure.

While above twenty-onefold restrictions, there is only the Twenty-Second Layer! The extreme of the numbers of restrictions a Magical Treasure can contain.

The Twenty-Second Layer Restriction is called a Half-Step Spiritual Treasure, extremely terrifying.

But this Golden Bear Staff, which Batian made his name from, is only an ordinary Silver Magical Treasure, with only eightfold restrictions, yet its might is undeniable.

Much less, it is a unique combination with Batian himself, sending shivers down one’s spine...

Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that the Lizhen Furnace and Octagonal Mystic Tower in Chen Fei’s hands are stronger than the Golden Bear Staff, being Golden Magical Treasures!

The Octagonal Mystic Tower possesses sixteenfold restrictions, with infinite defense! The Lizhen Furnace is even more terrifying, reaching the limit of a Golden Magical Treasure with twenty-onefold restrictions, second only to the legendary Half-Step Spiritual Treasure.

At this moment, the aura emitted by the Golden Bear Staff was extremely frightening, like a mountain cleaving down, like waves crashing, causing Huang Lie’s complexion to turn pale, his forehead covered in sweat.

”What... what do you mean by this? Don’t you care about your disciple’s life anymore?” At this moment, a slightly trembling female voice suddenly rang out. It was Yun Ruyue, who looked extremely displeased.

Earlier, seeing the Green Vulture suddenly intervene, Yun Ruyue was already quite unhappy. Now seeing Batian ’daring to’ continue to apply pressure by bringing out a top-level Magic Weapon, she furrowed her brows in unbearable anger.

This old fool really doesn’t know when to back down! Simply outrageous.

She thought herself of extraordinary status, being the granddaughter of Yun Zhen Pill King, and the other party wouldn’t dare do anything to her.

Then she stepped out, looking at Batian with a cold, arrogant face, ”If Black Wind Gorge wants to dig its own grave, then just forget about signing the Blood Soul Scroll! Uncle Huang, let’s go!”

After speaking, she turned contemptuously to leave again. She thought someone would step out to stop her.

But this time, no one did...

”Since Miss Yun Ruyue wants to leave, then don’t bother seeing her off. Left Protector, and you two, do you want to see Miss Yun Ruyue and Mr. Huang off?” The Green Vulture slowly spoke, blandly sarcastic.

”You!” Facing the Green Vulture’s sharp remark, Yun Ruyue was rendered speechless, her face turning a bit cyan from anger.

The Golden Soul and the two of the Five Great Champions beside him looked embarrassed at this moment. They glanced at each other, unsure of what to do. The Green Vulture’s words cornered them.

If they don’t escort her, Miss Yun Ruyue and the Yun Family’s impression of them will surely plummet in the future! Affecting their future prospects.

But if they do escort her... wouldn’t it mean they have to clearly show their stance and break with the others?

Truth be told, they weren’t fully prepared for this. But now, the arrow was on the string, and they had no choice but to release it.

The Golden Soul took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and turned towards Batian seated on the throne. He slowly said, ”Great Chief, why don’t I escort Miss Yun Ruyue and Mr. Huang to rest?”

With these words, the hall fell silent. Everyone’s eyes deeply focused on him.

Yes, the Golden Soul had made his choice known.

Batian said nothing, just looked at him coldly. The others, including Right Protector Jun She, the middle-aged man with horns, and the Green Vulture, also looked at him with indifference and distance.

A moment later, they averted their gaze, looking toward the last two.

The two Five Great Champions beside the Golden Soul exchanged glances, finally gritting their teeth and saying, ”Great Chief, let us go too.” With the arrow on the string, they finally made their own choice.

The Left Protector of Black Wind Gorge, Golden Soul, and the two of the Five Great Champions chose to abandon their past and pledge allegiance to Yun Zhen Pill King...

Seeing this scene, Yun Ruyue felt a bit smug in her heart, a smug, cold smile on her face.

No matter what their previous goal was, now they had a powerhouse at the Peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of Third-Level Demonic Beast, and two at the Third Heavenly Layer of Third-Level Demonic Beast choosing to join them. Such gains were indeed exceedingly rich, like a full harvest.

Meanwhile, the terrifying pressure engulfing Huang Lie finally began to dissipate bit by bit. Huang Lie returned to his senses with a pale face, looking at Batian with fright and resentment, taking deep breaths.

”Great Chief Batian, today’s matter, I will never forget,” he said through gritted teeth, his face full of gloom and anger.

However, Batian seemed lazy to even bother with him. He took one last look at the Golden Soul and the other two, then his eyes fell on Yun Ruyue, and he spoke calmly.

”I will consider Yun Zhen Pill King’s proposal. You may leave now.” Batian’s expression was indifferent.

”Hmph!” Seeing Batian ignoring her, Huang Lie felt angry, but he was helpless. He then forcibly swallowed his emotion, raised his hand, and coldly smiled at Batian with respect.

”Great Chief Batian, should there have been any disrespect today, I apologize on behalf of the Pill King. Our Yun Family in Ghost Wolf City looks forward to your visit.”

With that, he also didn’t want to stay any longer, turning and heading out of the hall. Behind him, the Golden Soul and the two Five Great Champions followed with expressionless faces.

When the few had already left the hall, a deep, cold voice arose with a freezing chill.

”Hmph! Three traitors.” The Green Vulture coldly said.
