Demonic Evil Cultivators are not fools. If a true Dao Expert had gone to that requested location, they would likely be discovered immediately. The target of the Blood-Stained Realm would be much smaller, which could greatly reduce the vigilance of the Demonic Evil Cultivators.

As for the danger… just as Yu Xiu said, if the war has come to this point, can others' clansmen and disciples die, but not yours?

After a brief meeting, the top brass of Dianchuan Province once again departed.

Atop the white jade tower, only the Crown Prince, who was fiddling with a folding fan in his hand, and the Cliff Master of Star Mansion Sea Cliff remained.

"Your Highness seems not to take the affair of the Outer Realm Evil God to heart." Standing beside the Crown Prince, Yu Xiu glanced sideways at him, noticing his calm demeanor, focused solely on the folding fan in his hand, and voiced his doubts.

"Be it Demonic Evil Cultivators or Outer Realm Evil Gods. What I set out to do is nearly complete. The rest should be handled by you all. Yu Xiu, about that matter I spoke to you of, what are your thoughts? What's so great about this mere Star Mansion Sea Cliff that you would languish in obscurity here? Follow me back to the capital. Father Emperor has always reserved the position of Astronomical Observatory Director for you." As the Crown Prince spoke, he snapped open the jade folding fan in his hand. On the flawless face of the fan, a vivid and ever-changing map of the Great Xuan Dynasty was strikingly reflected. In this map, the vast and expansive Dianchuan Province suddenly seemed somewhat inconspicuous.

"His Majesty the Emperor and Your Highness are kind, and I take that kindness to heart, but I cannot let the Star Mansion Sea Cliff, with its seven thousand four hundred years of lineage, decline under my watch. I cannot leave until the newly appointed Cliff Master achieves the Primordial Spirit. I ask for Your Highness's forgiveness." Bowing to the Crown Prince, Yu Xiu gave a slight nod of his head. As a Primordial Spirit Boss, this gesture was already quite respectful to the Crown Prince.

"Tch... Fine then. Everyone has their own aspirations, and I won't force you. But you must keep in mind the matter you promised me. It's not just a transaction between you and me; it's also an alliance between the Great Xuan Imperial Court and your Star Mansion Sea Cliff. If any mishaps occur, it would be undesirable for both you and the Star Mansion Sea Cliff." With a slight click of his tongue, the Crown Prince did not continue to press Yu Xiu. Primordial Spirit Bosses are not common cabbages on the side of the road; coercion can only produce adverse effects on beings of this level. And as for temptation, there is little that can disturb their spirits. Unless it's a sufficiently large benefit in exchange.

"Rest assured, Your Highness. I have already arranged for my disciples to settle in the Wu Family. Once the war subsides, they will immediately assist them in securing the provincial star position and will also mask any residual luck from the Gao Family," Yu Xiu nodded softly.

"That's good to hear. I've been delayed here for quite some time and am planning to return to the capital in half a year. After my departure, look after the Wu Family. After all, this piece of land will soon bear the name of Wu." Gathering up the folding fan, the Crown Prince slowly stood up and walked over to the balustrade of the jade tower, quietly gazing at the vast mountains and rivers below.

...

"How about it, have the two of you decided who will go?" In a simple hut in the wild, Dongfang Qing, who usually displayed a casual and lazy demeanor, held a rare seriousness in his eyes.

"I'll go!"

"I should go."

Suddenly springing up from the ground, Wei Wujie rolled up his sleeves with a solemn expression, "I'm the Eldest Martial Brother. It's naturally my responsibility to undertake this task. Moreover, I've been there before, I'm familiar with the place, and I also..."

"I'm more suitable for this task than you, Eldest Martial Brother," Qi Xiu, sitting on the ground, calmly stated without many reasons.

"No! Youngest Brother, you can't go. Even I was defeated there; if you go, isn't it the same as courting death?" Rejecting outright, Wei Wujie was about to continue, but Qi Xiu directly said:

"Then how can you guarantee that this time it won't end up like the last?"

"You... I..." Choked by Qi Xiu's retort, Wei Wujie stuttered helplessly for a while, unable to come up with a good comeback.

"All right. This task is fraught with peril and of great significance. If something happens, no one can come to save you. How about this: the two of you brothers compete with each other. Whoever wins, goes. Fair and reasonable, what do you think?" With his hands in his sleeves, Dongfang Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and he made a suggestion with keen interest. Yet his eyes were firmly fixed on Qi Xiu as if he had seen something.

"Fine!" Wei Wujie readily agreed to the suggestion.

Noticing his Eldest Martial Brother's confident smirk, as if victory was already his, Qi Xiu gathered his sleeves. Lifting his gaze, he met Dongfang Qing's knowing smile.

Crafty old fox...

Internally scoffing, Qi Xiu reluctantly stood up to face Wei Wujie, beginning a contest between the Eldest Martial Brother and the Little Junior Brother.

This little guy likes to hide his prowess. I'd like to see how much he can keep hidden now. Dongfang Qing, with the air of someone who had succeeded in his scheme, narrowed his eyes. With a sweeping motion of his large sleeve, an immense and all-encompassing power instantly created a special space for Qi Xiu and Wei Wujie to spar.

The contest was brief and full of drama. Wei Wujie, who thought he could easily defeat his Little Junior Brother, found himself, the moment Dongfang Qing announced the start, immediately captured by Qi Xiu's Universe in the Sleeve. When Qi Xiu released him from the sleeve, Wei Wujie first appeared utterly baffled and astonished for a long while. Then, he rested his chin in his hand, sitting cross-legged and brooding for two hours before suggesting another round.

This time, the outcome remained unchanged. Facing the confinement of Universe in the Sleeve, Wei Wujie tried everything to dodge, resist, and sneak away.
