The entire White Tiger Kingdom will suffer a devastating blow and cease to exist!

It was less a request and more a robbery from Tianjing Island! Because the White Tiger Emperor had no chance to refuse!

Seeing that the White Tiger Emperor remained silent, Qingyue's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant, and she forced a smile: "Your Majesty?"

"What is the purpose of the White Tiger Jade on Tianjing Island?" the White Tiger Emperor asked.

"The four divine beast jades will open a passage to the Upper Realm of the Nine Provinces. Your Majesty must have heard of this, right?" Qingyue said with a smile. "Once it's done, Your Majesty can also ascend to the Upper Realm together. Such a win-win situation, Your Majesty wouldn't refuse, would you?"

Ascension... is a tempting prospect for anyone.

However, this was not the case for the White Tiger Emperor.

This land is inhabited by his people, and the consequences of opening the natural barrier are unknown. The fact that the four divine beast jades could open the passage is merely a legend.

For this legend, the lives of an entire nation were staked.

It's really not worth it.

"Elder Qingyue, I cannot give you the White Tiger Jade." After a long while, the White Tiger Emperor still refused Qingyue directly: "As an emperor, I must consider the people of the country. Elder Qingyue, I hope you can understand that the White Tiger Kingdom cannot withstand the wrath of the White Tiger God. I cannot afford to gamble."

He couldn't afford to gamble with the lives of an entire nation, nor did he want to.

He cannot betray the trust of his people.

Qingyue did not expect that the White Tiger Emperor would refuse him. He had come prepared to get the White Tiger Jade. If he could not get it, how could he explain to the Venerable One?

Qingyue's face immediately darkened: "Has Your Majesty considered this carefully?"

"Hmm." The White Tiger Emperor nodded: "Elder Qingyue has come all this way, why don't you stay in the capital for a few days before you leave, so that I can show you some hospitality?"

The White Tiger Emperor said politely.

"No need." Qingyue sneered, "Song Ming, such a good opportunity is placed in front of you, but you don't cherish it. One day, you will regret it, and then... there will be no medicine for regret."

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder. Now that I have made my decision, I will certainly not regret it," the White Tiger Emperor said with a smile.

"Heh, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences." Qingyue snorted coldly and left the main hall with a flick of her sleeve.

The White Tiger Emperor looked towards the palace gate and rubbed his temples.

The eunuch Wang Fu quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his waist and handed the elixir to the White Tiger Emperor.

After taking the elixir, the White Tiger Emperor's pale complexion improved somewhat.

"Wang Fu, it seems that the world in the White Tiger Kingdom is about to change."

The White Tiger Emperor let out a long sigh. Heavenly Realm Island was not a place to be trifled with.

Even an empire wouldn't have the confidence to directly confront Heavenly Island.

However, if the White Tiger Jade is handed over, the White Tiger God will surely be furious.

At that time—

The entire White Tiger Kingdom will be plunged into chaos and devastation, becoming a living hell.

The White Tiger Emperor rubbed his temples, and thinking about all the possible things that might happen, he couldn't help but get a headache again.

"Your Majesty, Elder Qingyue and the others have not left, but have stayed at Chengfeng Post Station in the city." The guard entered the hall and reported respectfully.

"Okay, keep watching. Remember, you absolutely cannot be discovered."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The guard turned and disappeared into the darkness.

"Father."

Just then.

A clear voice rang out, and then Song Yangyang walked in. Seeing her father's worried face, she strode over to the White Tiger Emperor and hugged his arm, saying, "Father, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried? Is something bothering you? Tell me."

"You brat, what brings you back?"

The White Tiger Emperor looked at his daughter in surprise.

"Have you forgotten? I told you, I had a two-week leave after participating in the Spirit Realm training! So I specially came back to see Father Emperor. Isn't Father Emperor happy to see his son?"

Song Yangyang pouted, "Then I'm leaving?"

"You silly girl, when did your father ever say he was unhappy to see you?" the White Tiger Emperor said helplessly, reaching out to pinch Song Yangyang's cheek.

"As long as you're happy." Song Yangyang leaned on the White Tiger Emperor's shoulder. "If only I could stay by Father's side forever, I wouldn't want to go to that Wentian Academy!"

"You brat, do you know how many cultivators in the world want to get into the Heavenly Inquiry Academy? You've already been admitted, and you still don't want to go?" The White Tiger Emperor said helplessly, his eyes full of doting: "You little brat, you're really infuriating."

"No, that's not true! Your son wants to stay by Father's side for the rest of his life! You don't know—there are so many geniuses in the academy, especially one named Jun Qing... oh no, I should say Jun Liuyue!"

That stunningly beautiful face came to mind.

How can someone have such high cultivation level and be so good-looking?

"Oh? How talented? Could he be even more gifted than my great son?"

Upon hearing his daughter's voice, the heaviness in the White Tiger Emperor's heart vanished instantly. This girl had never been afraid of anything since she was little.

I've never heard her say anything like this before, expressing such admiration for someone else.

"He's much more powerful than me. He was already at the peak of the Spirit Venerable realm at the age of seventeen, and he was even accepted as a disciple by both Elder Jingxuan and Dean Gu!"

Song Yangyang said admiringly, but her eyes held only admiration, without a trace of jealousy.

Even if she were jealous, she couldn't be... Back in the White Tiger Kingdom, she thought she was already very powerful, and that she should at least be ranked among the top in the Asking Heaven Academy, right?

But ever since Jun Liuyue, this prodigy, appeared, Song Yangyang couldn't help but doubt herself. Was this talent just too abnormal?

"Oh? So powerful?" Even the well-informed White Tiger Emperor couldn't help but be surprised. He had never heard of such talent and cultivation before.

This can no longer be described as a peerless genius; it's downright freakish!

Over the years, countless geniuses have emerged on the Canglan Continent, but such a monstrous and abnormal prodigy is still the first of his kind.

"Since you put it that way, I am quite curious about this person."

"Right? Even Father thinks it's amazing."

"Yes, but Yangyang is already very capable. In Father's eyes, Yangyang is also a very capable child."

"Father, you're always teasing your son." Song Yangyang pouted.

Suddenly remembering something, he asked curiously, "By the way, I just heard the Imperial Guards outside saying that an elder from Heavenly Realm Island has arrived. What is the elder from Heavenly Realm Island doing in White Tiger Kingdom?"
