"You all probably know what kind of research Night Owl is doing, right?"

Ruan Yanruo and Zhuge Xianran's pupils immediately contracted, clearly indicating that they were well aware of the intricacies involved.

The other powerful families also had their own informants and could not possibly be unaware of this.

"Elder Xia, you mean..." Ruan Yanruo felt her voice go hoarse, "...they're going to succeed?"

"According to reliable sources, yes." Xia Fusheng wanted them to know the stakes involved. "Since the revival of spiritual energy, even our Dragon Kingdom has never produced a half-Emperor level expert."

If Night Owl gains another half-emperor, will your families really be completely unaffected?

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Because they dare not gamble!

That Lord of Night Owl Palace is an absolute madman.

Join forces with Night Owl? Who knows when he might suddenly decide to stab you to death?

In that case, it's better to eliminate the threat before it happens.

"How many people does Elder Xia need us to send?"

After a moment of silence, Ye Liuheng was the first to compromise.

“Fifty thousand cultivators above the Martial Emperor level.” Xia Fusheng didn’t stand on ceremony with them at all; he knew that these people’s families secretly kept a lot of soldiers.

Fortunately, we are not in a feudal monarchical era where imperial power was supreme; otherwise, if someone were to privately raise an army, their entire family might not be spared from execution.

Fifty thousand was just the minimum acceptable amount for them.

Then everyone exchanged a glance, and the six people sitting in the first row stood up at the same time: "The Ye family/Shen family/Ruan family/Han family/Zhuge family/Ye family are willing to serve the Dragon Kingdom in the fight against the Night Owl and do our best!"
