"Look! What is that?" In the blink of an eye, Bai Ye and Xiao Fantuan, riding the Nine-Tailed Demonic Bird, soared over the capital city of Sifas. The powerful aura immediately drew the attention of everyone in the city.
"What a terrifying presence, who has arrived?"
"What's this person's background?"
"No matter who it is! Our capital city explicitly prohibits flying within the city. How dare they openly violate this! Do they truly look down on our Sifas Kingdom?"
"Too arrogant, utterly infuriating!!!"
"Look quickly, our capital's magic array has been activated!"
Under the frightened and angry gazes of the crowd, several dazzling beams of magic light suddenly erupted from Sifas City, striking towards the Nine-Tailed Demonic Bird and the Bai Ye and Xiao Fantuan on its back.
The Nine-Tailed Demonic Bird lowered its head slightly, its proud gaze revealing a cold glint. With a clear cry, a ball of dazzling demonic energy radiated from its pristine white body, instantly dissipating the attack from Sifas City's magic array. At the same time, the Nine-Tailed Demonic Bird flapped its wings, and several snow-white feathers shot out with incredible speed, hurtling towards the capital city below.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
A series of deafening explosions resounded, and plumes of thick smoke rose from within the capital city. The magic array sites that had just launched their attacks were all obliterated.
"Our protective magic array… it's actually ineffective! This was a quasi-Emperor level attack, incredibly close to Emperor level!" Witnessing this scene, countless people in the Sifas Kingdom were utterly shocked.
"With just one strike, our defensive magic array was destroyed?"
"Could it be that this demonic creature has already reached Emperor level?"
"There are two people behind it. To use an Emperor-level demonic creature as a mount, what kind of existence have they reached!"
"Too terrifying!"
"They're flying towards the royal palace! Could it be people from the Lex Alliance?"
In the blink of an eye, the Nine-Tailed Demonic Bird arrived within Sifas City. Bai Ye and Xiao Fantuan leaped off.
"Not bad, not bad! Even a peak Emperor-level expert would struggle to deal with you!" Xiao Fantuan praised the Nine-Tailed Demonic Bird with satisfaction. This entrance had truly amplified the prestige of their Lex Alliance. This creature was a captured demonic beast from the journey, originally intended as a meal by Xiao Fantuan. However, after its initial display, he discovered that he, a super demon emperor capable of fighting five at once, was almost outrun by it due to its incredibly high speed.
Bai Ye felt it had extraordinary potential, and it would be a waste to eat it, so he captured it for transportation. Its true name was the Nine-Tailed Demonic Phoenix.
"Roar~" The Nine-Tailed Demonic Phoenix let out a soft cry, its gaze filled with fear as it looked at Bai Ye and remained obediently on the ground.
"Two, are you the guests from the Lex Alliance?" The King of Sifas, accompanied by his retinue, approached. The commotion in the city had already alerted them.
"Yes. The leader of the Lex Alliance, Emperor Fantuan." Xiao Fantuan replied. As he shed his adorable smile and childish demeanor, he exuded a powerful pressure.
The King of Sifas and his entourage were startled. Their attention had been focused on Bai Ye and the Nine-Tailed Demonic Bird, and they never expected the notorious demon emperor of Chaos City to be such a cute child.
Then, who was this young man? Could he be that terrifying mysterious person? The King of Sifas and his group were filled with confusion and even more fear. They couldn't possibly believe that someone who could use an Emperor-level demonic creature as a mount was merely a subordinate.
However, remembering that they had already received the protection of the Orbis Empire, the King of Sifas managed to calm down somewhat. "Apologies! I never expected the incredibly powerful Emperor Fantuan to be so young!"
"Haha… We've been waiting for you two for a long time. Everyone is waiting in the Grand Conference Hall. Please, two!"
Bai Ye and Xiao Fantuan entered the palace with the King of Sifas. They were here to subdue the Sifas Kingdom and saw no need for unnecessary pleasantries.
The doors of the Grand Conference Hall slowly opened. The people inside, who had been chatting and laughing, immediately fell silent. A group of people watched as the King of Sifas brought in Bai Ye and Xiao Fantuan.
Taking their seats, Bai Ye and Xiao Fantuan sat opposite Prince Saka of the Orbis Empire. The kings of the Sifas Kingdom, Gamma Kingdom, and Mali Kingdom sat on the sides.
Gazing at Bai Ye's unfathomable presence, the kings of Gamma Kingdom and Mali Kingdom felt restless. They vaguely suspected he was the mysterious expert who had killed their five emperors.
Such a powerful being, capable of destroying a nation, made them uneasy even with the protection of the Orbis Empire.
"You two…" As the host, the King of Sifas was about to introduce everyone present. However, two young men behind Prince Saka stopped him, calling out loudly, "You two, who is the leader of the Lex Alliance, Emperor Fantuan?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a thick atmosphere of gunpowder filled the entire conference hall. The kings of Sifas and the other two couldn't help but feel nervous, secretly cursing these two young men from the Orbis Empire. They worried that Bai Ye and Xiao Fantuan from the Lex Alliance might become enraged and initiate a battle right there, which would be disastrous for their three kingdoms, contrary to their previous agreement.
However, Bai Ye and Xiao Fantuan ignored them, not even glancing their way.
"You are the King of Gamma, and you are from Mali Kingdom?" Xiao Fantuan looked at the two on the left and spoke with Bai Ye's usual calm tone.
"Yes." The two nodded repeatedly. The King of Mali inquired, "And who might you be?"
"The leader of the Lex Alliance."
"Then, are the three kingdoms ready to surrender?" Xiao Fantuan glanced at Prince Saka in front of him and then directly asked, "Or do you wish to continue the war?"
The faces of the three kings immediately changed. This was not a negotiation; where was the atmosphere of negotiation?
"Insolence!" A girl behind Prince Saka shouted, her face filled with anger. A mere alliance from a small region dared to ignore them, and a child at that. This was a profound insult to their proud demeanor, igniting their rage.
"The Gamma Kingdom, Sifas Kingdom, and Mali Kingdom have submitted to our Orbis Empire and are under our protection."
"The important agenda for our meeting today is for your Lex Alliance to cease its aggression against the three kingdoms!" the girl's voice was extremely sharp.
The Orbis Empire! A hint of apprehension flashed in Xiao Fantuan's eyes. They had noticed Prince Saka upon entering, but seeing their aloof demeanor, they had no intention of proactively engaging. An empire capable of establishing itself in the Tatus World was naturally not to be underestimated.
"As for the conflict between the Gamma Kingdom, Sifas Kingdom, Mali Kingdom, and your Lex Alliance, the Three Kingdoms Alliance suffered losses of 300,000 troops. For this, the three kingdoms have already paid a terrible price."
"In contrast, the Lex Alliance suffered minimal casualties and no losses in territory or resources. This matter is hereby concluded…"
The two young people from the Orbis Empire spoke incessantly, causing the faces of the three kings to gradually reveal smiles.
Xiao Fantuan glanced at Bai Ye. Bai Ye smiled faintly, giving him a nod of affirmation. Xiao Fantuan immediately gained confidence. With a loud slap of his chubby little hand on the table, he shot to his feet.
"What is the Orbis Empire to dare interfere in the affairs of my Lex Alliance?"
"Our sole purpose here today is for the Gamma Kingdom, Mali Kingdom, and Sifas Kingdom to unconditionally merge into our Lex Alliance. Otherwise, we will annihilate all three of you!"
Boom!!
Xiao Fantuan unleashed his formidable Emperor-level aura without reservation. The hearts of the three kings sank. This aura was clearly much stronger than their former protector.
"You!" The faces of the two young men from the Orbis Empire turned pale. One reason was the insult from Xiao Fantuan, and the other was the powerful aura emanating from him. The Orbis Empire had numerous experts, but even among Emperor-level individuals, they could clearly sense that Xiao Fantuan was a tier above ordinary Emperor-level practitioners.
"Hmph!" Prince Saka snorted and released his aura, immediately suppressing Xiao Fantuan's momentum.
"Two, any conditions can be discussed properly, but showing such disdain for our Orbis Empire will bring disaster!"
A two-star Emperor! Xiao Fantuan was surprised. As expected of an empire, such a powerful being could casually appear. Fortunately, his boss was here. Xiao Fantuan's expression immediately calmed down.
"Is that so?" Bai Ye also spoke, slowly releasing his demonic energy. The entire hall shuddered, and the entire space seemed to be sealed. All demonic energy and auras ceased.
Everyone froze instantly, their minds roaring like thunder.
"Who exactly are you?" Prince Saka suddenly stood up, his gaze filled with horror, no longer able to maintain his noble demeanor.
"My boss!" Xiao Fantuan said proudly. Seeing the previously aggressive two youths now too afraid to utter a word, looking as if they had seen a ghost, made him feel incredibly refreshed!
"So, does your Orbis Empire still intend to interfere in our Lex Alliance's affairs?"
Prince Saka took a deep breath and then changed his expression, a smile appearing on his face. "I didn't expect the Lex Alliance to have such a powerful expert. We were truly blind. Please forgive our intrusion. Since that is the case, the Orbis Empire will not interfere with matters concerning the three kingdoms."
"Prince Saka!" Upon hearing this, the kings of the three kingdoms immediately became anxious. However, Prince Saka and his group paid them no heed.
"May I ask for your esteemed name?" Prince Saka asked with a smile. This question, once again, struck like thunder, leaving everyone dumbfounded. Esteemed name? This mysterious person was even more terrifying than Prince Saka, a two-star Emperor? A three-star Emperor? My heavens!!!
Seeing that Bai Ye had no intention of speaking, Prince Saka continued to smile amiably. "To express our apology for the earlier offense, I, on behalf of the Orbis Empire, hereby certify that the Mali Kingdom, Gamma Kingdom, and Sifas Kingdom officially become part of the Lex Alliance and are entirely under the control of the Lex Alliance. Any defiance will be considered a declaration of war against our Orbis Empire."
Prince Saka's words turned the faces of the three kings the color of liver.
"These three kingdoms already belong to the Lex Alliance and do not require the Orbis Empire's certification." However, Bai Ye spoke, completely disregarding him.
Prince Saka's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled. "It seems you still hold some reservations towards us. How about this, do you know when you might be free to visit our Orbis Empire? Our Orbis Empire is vast and resource-rich, with countless rare treasures. Whatever you desire, we will surely be able to gift it to you."
Bai Ye smiled and said, "Is that so?"
"Of course!" Seeing that Bai Ye might have something he needed, Prince Saka's eyes lit up. Such a powerful individual, if they could curry favor and recruit them into the Orbis Empire, their strength would increase by leaps and bounds!
"May I inquire what it is that you desire?"
Xiao Fantuan looked up at Bai Ye. Seeing his smile, he knew it wouldn't be that simple, so he excitedly pricked up his ears and grinned.
As expected, Bai Ye's next sentence stunned everyone once again.
"It's very simple. I want the Orbis Empire."
