Before Ah Ju could even bask in her glory, her true colors were exposed, and she lost face. She said irritably, "Who can defeat one of them, a human lord and a demon lord?"
"You can't beat them, yet you still try to take advantage of them verbally," Dongfang Mian said leisurely.
"Ahem..." Just as Aju was about to say something, she heard that the assessment time was up, and the group was teleported out by the teleportation beam.
The clan leaders waiting outside had already deduced the remaining talents on their side based on those who had been eliminated, and their faces showed a mixture of joy and sorrow.
At least the Ice Wolf Clan Chief and the Silver Dragon Clan Chief couldn't hide their smiles. Dongfang Mian roughly counted that each of the two clans had six geniuses among the final 20 geniuses, while the Crimson Tiger Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan each had four geniuses left.
Dongfang Mian never expected that she and her companions would become the only remaining prodigies of the Crimson-Striped Divine Tiger, and suddenly felt immense pressure.
However, the pressure did not come from whether they could achieve final victory, but from the fear that history would repeat itself and once again incite the struggle between the various divine beast races in the Beast Realm.
The four race leaders, each with their own thoughts, said nothing more, and the group silently set off for the Divine Beast Mountain.
Upon arriving at the foot of Divine Beast Mountain, they found that the mountain had already opened its restrictions and was waiting for them. The four clan leaders, including the Crimson-Striped Divine Tiger Clan Chief, couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
To everyone's surprise, the Divine Beast Mountain opened its gates to them and determined the winner to become the leader of the alliance. The other three clan leaders couldn't help but wonder why the guardian of the Divine Beast Mountain only sent the message to the Crimson-Striped Divine Tiger clan this time.
When the Crimson Tiger Clan Chief went to discuss matters with them, he couldn't say that Dongfang Mian had retrieved the Guardian's promise. Instead, he said that the Guardian had sent a message to the Crimson Tiger Clan Chief, instructing him to inform the clan chiefs of the other three races to prepare for the assessment together, determine the final leader of the alliance, and end the turmoil among the various divine beast races.
That's why the leaders of the other three races were so easy to talk to, readily agreeing and even willing to give up their own sacred lands to host the themed assessment.
When all the divine beasts gathered at Divine Beast Mountain, Lord Dragon Flood Dragon appeared, standing high atop the mountain, silently watching the divine beasts below.
For a moment, Dongfang Mian found it hard to connect this serious and aloof dragon with the little dragon in her memory who always bowed and scraped and performed grand salutes.
The four clan leaders, along with their divine beasts, were about to pay their respects to Lord Dragon Flood Dragon, since the guardians of Divine Beast Mountain were practically the ancestors of all the divine beasts.
Although Lord Longjiao hadn't looked at them specifically, he knew that Yan Lin and Dongfang Mian were in the ranks below. He dared not accept the courtesy and hurriedly spoke up to stop them.
"We can skip the formalities," said Lord Dragon Flood Dragon, and all the divine beasts immediately stopped.
This was actually the first time the four clan leaders had seen the true form of the guardian of Divine Beast Mountain. Before, they had only heard his voice but never seen him, so they were understandably very excited.
Before the Dragon Flood Dragon could react, he immediately began with accusations, "Crimson-Striped Divine Tiger, Ice Wolf, Fire Phoenix, Silver Flood Dragon, do you know your crimes?!"
The four clan leaders trembled in fright and were about to kneel again, but were quickly stopped by Lord Longjiao rolling his eyes at them.
He could only lower his head and say, "I don't know why you have blamed me, sir?"
Lord Longjiao raised his voice a few notches and said, "You still have the nerve to ask? For ten thousand years, your four races have ruled the entire Beast Domain in their own separate territories. Now that you've all grown strong, you've started killing each other. If I hadn't sent out a message to have you pass an assessment to determine a leader, I'm afraid most of the divine beasts in the Beast Domain would have died in your pointless fighting long ago."
Originally, it was just at Dongfang Mian's request, but after seeing these divine beasts, Lord Longjiao was furious.
