“Lazy pig, wake up!” Xu Yuan reached forward to pinch the sleeping figure’s nose.

Startled awake, Bayion cheered and jumped onto Xu Yuan, hugging him like a koala.

Xu Yuan laughed and patted Bayion’s little head. He then put her down.

Bayion happiness was evident from the way she grinned.

“Why did you suddenly come to the territory?” Xu Yuan pinched her delicate face and sat down on her right side.

“How long has it been since you and Lord Su Wan visited Canglan City?!” Bayion exclaimed angrily.

“Does Archduke Qing You want to see us that badly?” Su Wan watched the two bicker and smiled. Bayion always made everyone happy.

The repeated invitations from the archduke weren’t a simple matter.

“Lord Xu Yuan, the high-ranking officials of the Holy Kingdom want to seize your Tasiria Plane,” Bayion said indignantly.

Those greedy worms found out about what Xu Yuan and Su Wan had been up to lately!

The high-ranking officials of the Holy Kingdom found the Sun Cult, and it seems that the other party used some powerful divination spell. After a large amount of information integration, they inferred the identities of you both. The gods possess unimaginable power. My father and 1 did not leak any information!” Bayion said in determination. Her eyes were red.

The Holy Kingdom was the first empire established by humans and had great prestige. However, the ancient empire had long since disintegrated in several battles among the gods and was destroyed in the ancient era.

The current Holy Kingdom had been rebuilt countless times, but the king still claimed to have the bloodline of the Holy Kingdom’s royal family and inherited the lineage.

Canglan City was a territory under the jurisdiction of the Holy Kingdom. However, due to the presence of the legendary ascetic Qing You, Canglan City was considered to be under the Holy Kingdom only in name.

No one dared to meddle with a legend.

But no matter what, the true strength of the Holy Kingdom’s power could not be ignored.

“The Tasiria Plane is a territory that no one can touch, not even the Holy Kingdom, let alone the Sun Cult!” said Xu Yuan.

Hearing this calm but assertive statement, Bayion’s heart raced. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the charismatic figure in front of her.

Even her father would sound pretentious in saying such things, but the man in front of her was different. He and Su Wan controlled the plane, and their influence could cause major changes in the Main Plane as well.

They even garnered attention from hundreds and millions of people and killed the Lord of Greed!

The words of such a top-notch figure, no matter how arrogant they sounded, made people seriously consider the prospect. No one dared to underestimate them.

“Lord Xu Yuan, with thousands under us, my father and 1 firmly stand on your side,” said Bayion. “Father has firmly rejected the high-ranking officials of the Holy Kingdom.”

However, there were quite a few grudges within the Holy Kingdom against Canglan City. Her father could resist the hate of some people, and he might not be willing to back down even in the face of immense power.

The royal family of the Holy Kingdom had also sent a prince who was currently waiting in Canglan City, hoping to communicate with Lord Su Wan.

Bayion looked conflicted.

Six months ago, when Xu Yuan and Su Wan visited Canglan City, her dear friend Tristana had given Su Wan the Lavender manor as a gift.

Now, not only did Bayion arrive here on behalf of Archduke Qing You, but also a prince from the Holy Kingdom was waiting for them in Canglan City!

Bayion looked at Xu Yuan in reverence and admiration. This time, Su Wan and Xu Yuan’s territory was strong. Not even a legendary ascetic had the strength to trample their territory.

“I heard that the sect has been quite active recently. Do you know anything about it?” Su Wan asked.

When the Crimson Moon had risen, the sects had been spreading their teaching of the ancient gods and the destruction of the world.

They even instructed their followers to find the people who had been drenched in blood rain and burn them alive!

At the same time, they offered a high reward for any information about the ancient gods. If the information was true, generous rewards would be given.

Bayion had read many ancient historical books but found no records about the ancient gods. She couldn’t even find information in books specifically dedicated to evil creatures.

She had asked her father, but Archduke Qing You didn’t know much either. However, according to his speculation, the ancient gods were probably divine beings who ruled the world before the birth of the new gods.

Although the reasons were unknown, the long-lost gods were reviving again. It could be foreseen that there would be a great upheaval during this transition between the old and the new.

Su Wan and Xu Yuan were not surprised by this. The gods had erased information about the ancient gods when they came to power.

If it weren’t for Nami causing the blood rain to cover the entire plane and granting countless people power, they would have found some people willing to join the ancient gods. But now, they couldn’t be found anywhere.

Nami didn’t want to sit around and do nothing. The next step would probably be something earth-shattering.

“Bayion, please help us keep an eye on the movements of the sects. The gods are not as kind and gentle as their followers proclaim,” Xu Yuan said.

Bayion nodded.

Since Nami hadn’t revealed her identity to Bayion, she must have had her reasons.

“What is the purpose of the Royal Family of the Holy Kingdom this time?”

“I don’t know either, but it should be related to the Tasiria Plane.” Bayion shook her head.

The establishment of the Tasiria Plane as a trading center for Lords had caused an even bigger uproar than killing the Lord of Greed.

Even her father couldn’t help but praise Su Wan’s idea.

Bayion felt a bit awkward. This time, when she saw her father, would Lord Xu Yuan finally earn his approval?

Bayion blushed.

“In that case, Su Wan and I will go and meet with Archduke Qing You,” Xu Yuan said calmly.

“Princess Bayion, would you like to stay in the territory and explore for a few days, or would you like to come back to Canglan City with us?”

“I’ll go back with you!” Bayion said decisively. Without Xu Yuan, there was no point in staying here.

Timo entered the hall. Su Wan informed him of their plan to go to Canglan City and handled some piled-up trivial matters of the territory..
