To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

The head of Nanqing Pavilion was sweating profusely, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.

"How can his aura be so strong? Is it possible that he has concealed his cultivation level?"

"I was clearly the one threatening him, so why is it that Baiqiaoyuan is being threatened?"

"Is he really not afraid of my Baiqiaoyuan?"

"What is his origin?"

Thoughts flashed through the mind of Pavilion Master Nanqing. He didn't know what to do at this moment. The matter was beyond his ability to handle.

At this time, Sun Yi's momentum subsided and he looked at the Pavilion Master Nanqing calmly. "Pavilion Master Nanqing, I can't give you the methods for refining the battle armor and the spirit treasure. If you are unwilling to cooperate, I will not force you. Please go back and discuss it with the Pavilion Master Yang."

"Master Nanqing, take care." Sun Yi said as he picked up the teacup.

"Then I won't bother you anymore." The Nanqing Pavilion Master's attitude towards Sun Yi changed immediately. He knew that Sun Yi was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

He stood up, bowed to Sun Yi, flew outside, and soon left the City Lord's Mansion.

Sun Yi sat quietly in the reception room, drinking tea and lost in thought.

It is not impossible to have in-depth cooperation with Baiqiao Academy, but the core refining methods cannot be handed over. The initiative must be in one's own hands.

If we want to build the teleportation array as quickly as possible, we will need to use the power of Baiqiao Academy. When the time comes, we will also need to rely on the power of Baiqiao Academy to solve the troubles of Qingyun Continent.

But before that, we still need to see whether Baiqiaoyuan is worth continuing to cooperate with.

After thinking for a while, Sun Yi devoted himself to the arrangement of the Sixteen Killing Formation. Although this formation was far less complicated than the Ten Thousand Treasures Killing Formation, it still took some time to set up.

According to Sun Yi's estimation, it would take at least a month to fully deploy the entire City Lord's Mansion by mobilizing all its forces, which was already very fast.

After Pavilion Master Nanqing returned to Baiqiao Pavilion, he contacted Yang Yuan immediately and told him in detail everything that had happened in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Are you sure that he has the aura comparable to that of a cultivator in the God Transformation stage at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage?" Yang Yuan asked in some shock.

"It is absolutely true. I dare not hide anything. I suspect that Sun Yi has concealed his level of cultivation." The Pavilion Master of Nanqing answered respectfully.

Yang Yuan, who was sitting opposite the ancient mirror, pondered for a moment before showing an interested expression. "Interesting! You actually dare to threaten Baiqiaoyuan. This is quite courageous."

"If those forces in War City really have no way to deal with him, we shouldn't act rashly."

"Vice Dean Yang Jian will arrive in War City in three days. Have him go there in person. You should continue to stockpile all kinds of supplies. We can make arrangements after Vice Dean Yang Jian arrives in three days."

"Yes." The Pavilion Master of Nanqing nodded respectfully.

After Yang Yuan finished communicating with the Nanqing Pavilion Master, he turned to contact Luo Shijue.

"How is it?" Luo Shijue looked at Yang Yuan in the ancient mirror with a serious face.

"It's not going to be easy. They're unwilling to hand over the methods for refining the two treasures, and they're not afraid that we'll give up our protection."

"What do you mean?" Luo Shijue was a little confused.

"That cultivator named Sun Yi is not from the Luo family in Zhancheng. Moreover, when Pavilion Master Nanqing went there just now, he showed an aura that was no less than that of a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage. He was not afraid of our threats at all."

"They even threatened us, saying if we weren't sincere about cooperating, they could partner with other forces."

"How dare they threaten my Baiqiao Academy? What is their origin?" Luo Shijue was very surprised.

"Even if we use all our means, we still can't find out his background. This Sun Yi is very mysterious. I think it's not advisable to act rashly for the time being."

"Yang Jian will arrive at the War City in three days. He will personally go to the City Lord's Mansion to investigate. If the cultivator named Sun Yi dares to bluff, he will be captured directly. Then we will search his soul directly and must obtain the refining methods of these two treasures." A gleam of light flashed in Yang Yuan's eyes.

"Alright, then give him another three days. I'll buy time on the Alliance side, and Vice President Yang Jian must ensure nothing goes wrong."

"Okay, I will tell Yang Jian."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Shijue returned to the hall. At this time, people in the hall were discussing how to deal with the incident. Luo Shijue's return immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Taoist Xuanling turned to look at Luo Shijue and asked in a deep voice, "Master Luo, how is the matter being handled?"

"Master Xuanling, please rest assured. I have already contacted the War City branch and will give everyone a satisfactory explanation in three days."

"Three days later?" Taoist Master Xuanling frowned slightly.

"Master Xuanling, are you unwilling to give me Baiqiaoyuan even three days?" Luo Shijue looked at Master Xuanling. Although the Taixuan Dao behind Master Xuanling is the strongest force in the Righteous Alliance of the Wanling Continent, Baiqiaoyuan is not weak either.

Taoist Master Xuanling wanted to give an explanation to those who had complained immediately in order to stabilize the major forces in the outer circle, but he had to give face to Baiqiao Academy.

"Okay, then I look forward to your hospital giving the alliance a satisfactory explanation in three days."

"Next, we will continue to study how to protect the remaining secret realms. The Zhentian Secret Realm has suffered enough losses now, so we must do everything we can to protect the remaining secret realms."

"Hmph, it's all because the Demon Alliance is so useless. Ninety percent of the secret realm captured by the demon clan this time belongs to the Demon Alliance." A majestic old man on the side snorted coldly with anger on his face.

"We really can't rely on those useless people in the Demonic Alliance. The important task of protecting the Zhentian Secret Realm still depends on us."

"By the way, it will be very difficult for the forces in the outer circle to stop the great beast tide this time. After all, the last great beast tide just passed not long ago. We need to make arrangements for support for the outer circle as soon as possible."

"How much resources do you think should be allocated to support the major forces in the outer circle?" Taoist Master Xuan Ling swept his eyes over all the cultivators in the hall.

However, the representatives of the major forces in the inner circle fell silent. If possible, they were unwilling to share any resources with the forces in the outer circle.

"This beast tide is extraordinary. If the outer circle can't stop the beast tide, do you think our inner circle will be better off? Over the years, how much territory has been annexed by the demon clan on the Wanling Continent? If the entire outer circle is conquered by the demon clan this time, do you think the inner circle will be able to be stable in the future?" Taoist Xuanling looked coldly at the representatives of various forces.

Finally, under the strict order of Taoist Master Xuanling, the Righteous Alliance doubled its resource subsidies to the outer circle.

Originally, Taoist Master Xuanling proposed to increase the subsidy fivefold, but this was jointly opposed by representatives of major forces in the inner circle. Even though Taoist Master Xuanling was powerful and had the strongest Taixuan Dao behind him, he had to compromise.
