The Tiger Mountain Secret Treasure that You Jiu mentioned is a very special place, quite similar to the eight demon caves in the Northern Region. Within the demon caves, one can traverse a very long distance; what seems like only a few dozen miles can actually be a thousand miles away.

These are all unique treasures left over from ancient times.

With a power incomprehensible to modern people, this extraordinary spatial structure was constructed, much like a sacred realm.

This Tiger Mountain Secret Treasure is actually connected to another secret treasure on the seabed of the South China Sea. According to You Jiu and his group's guess, there may be as many as a hundred such places in Great Xia or even outside of Great Xia.

It is a world of interconnected caves!

However, this cave does not exist as an independent space, but rather as a spider web, allowing them to instantly travel thousands of miles away.

The others present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone's face was somewhat pale.

The leader, a Supreme Martial Emperor named He Shui, had actually reached a level quite close to that of a Dao-Merging Supreme with the help of the Superpower Federation and the cultivation of incense power.

However, he could tell from You Jiu's tone and manner.

Something has indeed happened in Kyoto.

And something big happened.

Otherwise, why would a top-tier expert like You Jiu, who is second only to Lord Hades, leave Kyoto in such a hurry?

His expression was somewhat bitter.

"Lord Youjiu, if something happens in the capital and they find Tiger Mountain City and expose the Tiger Mountain treasure, wouldn't our He family be finished?"

They're clinging to the Federation of Superpowers, hoping to reap the benefits, which is why they're willing to join them.

If we make them take the risks.

Wouldn't they have come for nothing?

Upon hearing this, You Jiu flew into a rage.

"Could it be that your He family can only share wealth and honor but not hardship?"

"We...we dare not!"

The others shook their heads.

They dared not provoke You Jiu in this state.

Although he was quite weak and clearly had suffered serious injuries, if they really angered You Jiu, they probably wouldn't be a match for him.

The difference in their levels of understanding is simply too great.

Not to mention that You Jiu, as a cultivator who has survived from ancient times, has a foundation that these newly emerging powerful families cannot match.

Including the middle-aged man named He Shui.

After becoming shrewd, he also realized that it was best to pretend not to know in this situation, otherwise he might really lose his life.

He said repeatedly, "Lord Youjiu, rest assured, we will definitely keep your secret and protect the Tiger Mountain Treasure. We will not let anyone from the Elders' Council set foot in it."

"That's for the best."

You Jiu snorted coldly.

He stepped away from the place, asking them to escort him to the Tiger Mountain Secret Treasure, while reassuring them, "But you don't need to worry. Although I arrived here at the last minute, it is precisely because of this that it will not be so easy for the Elders' Council to investigate my whereabouts."

"We understand!"

He Shui didn't say a word more than necessary.

He personally led some members of his family to send You Jiu to the secret hideout, helping him escape from the Kyoto area and hurry to Southeast Asia.

Meanwhile, the remaining people were discussing amongst themselves, all feeling that the current situation was precarious.

"We originally joined the Superpower Federation to acquire their treasures, but before we could even get many of their treasures or help us uncover many ancient secrets, they were already driven out of the capital!"

"That bastard You Jiu said they could control Kyoto within three months, but who knew they'd be driven out in just over a month!"

"And so pathetic, it's utterly laughable!"

"Then what do we do?"

The representatives of various factions in Tiger Mountain City looked at each other in bewilderment.

Just as they were in a state of panic and tension.

Suddenly, someone rushed in from outside the courtyard.

A young martial artist, who appeared to be a follower, ran up to the oldest of the nine men and said respectfully but hurriedly, "Master, the Elders' Council has sent a representative who wants to invite you to meet with them."

Why would the Elders' Council send a representative?

This man is the head of the largest family in Tiger Mountain City, named Li Qiuming. He is different from the He family, which is the second largest family in Tiger Mountain City and controls the Tiger Mountain Secret Treasure.

The Li family, on the other hand, now controls a spirit mine.

A large number of spirit crystals were mined and transported out through the Li family. A large portion of them were promised to the Superpower Federation, but some could be kept for their own use.

The spirit mine originally belonged to the elders, but they secretly intercepted it and made a fortune while the elders weren't looking.

This is only a small part of their cooperation with the Federation of Superpowers.

So when he heard that the elders had come looking for him, Li Qiuming's expression changed immediately. He thought that the matter of intercepting the spirit mine had been exposed.

The subordinate had a bitter expression.

He glanced in the direction where the He family and You Jiu had left earlier.

"Patriarch, they've come for the spirit mine."

"this……"

Li Qiuming and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

One of them tentatively asked, "Didn't you come here to see You Jiu? According to You Jiu, he rushed here at the last minute. Won't the elders quickly find out? Could it be that he wasn't lying?"

"But You Jiu had only been gone a few minutes when the Elders' Council sent people over to question him. This is too much of a coincidence. Moreover, You Jiu has already failed completely. The Superpower Federation has lost too badly this time!"

Li Qiuming's face was dark and unreadable, and it was unclear what he was thinking. His subordinate took a few steps closer and quietly transmitted a message to him.

"Patriarch, I was just lying to them. The elders also said that if we are willing to disclose the Superpower Federation's arrangements in Tiger Mountain City, including how many forces have joined the Superpower Federation, they will give our Li family preferential treatment!"

"On the condition that you tell him where Youjiu is."

Li Qiuming's eyes widened in shock.

Is this an attempt to sow discord within their Tiger Mountain City faction?

His subordinate added, "Since You Jiu has already made arrangements in Tiger Mountain City, it's not just the Li family that knows where You Jiu is. If the Li family doesn't agree, then we'll have to contact other families."

The person who relayed this message was clearly unaware that all the forces in Tiger Mountain City had been won over by the Superpower Federation, nor did he know that Li Qiuming was with them.

However, the subordinate's telepathic message also reminded Li Qiuming that this was the only remaining opportunity for him and the Li family to switch jobs.

Otherwise, they will face a swift and severe blow from the Elders' Council!

He looked around at the others present and realized that no one had heard the message; it was the Li family who had seized the initiative.

"Fine, I'll die than you, my fellow Daoist!"
