The woman's face darkened, and a hint of deep anger flashed in her eyes.
"Master Jian, as the Master of the Order Hall, are you so disrespectful to me and my Goddess by speaking to me like this?"
Jian Rang's face turned pale and his temper flared. He continued, "Besides, the Dragon Pearl is so valuable. It will take time to convince Ruan Qiao to lend it to him."
"Persuade?" The woman's tone was full of disbelief.
"Didn't I tell them to just rob it? If they can't rob it, they can always steal it, right?"
Jian Rang couldn't help but clench his fists. "Goddess, forgive me for reminding you that our Divine Fire Alliance is an authentic and prestigious family with ancient heritage. We are not a den of robbers."
"You..." The woman was obviously angry. She glared at Alliance Leader Lu: "Alliance Leader Lu, are these your men? Is this how they talk to me? Since you don't welcome me, I'm leaving!"
She pretended to leave.
Alliance Leader Lu closed his eyes, hiding the pent-up emotions in them. He smiled gently, "Goddess, calm down!"
"The Goddess is the one our Divine Fire Alliance has been searching for for thousands of years. From ancient times to the present, the appearance of the Goddess is like a long-awaited rain for the Divine Fire Alliance. Every one of us yearns for the Goddess's return all the time."
Perhaps his words pleased the woman, and she snorted softly and stopped making a fuss about leaving.
She sat down in the supreme chair, a smug sneer on her lips, and looked at Jian Rang: "Master Jian, I will not bother with you about this matter this time. If there is a next time, I will not tolerate it."
Jane Rang's face turned grim, but he didn't say anything else.
He silently clenched his fists. Could this goddess be the one their Divine Fire Alliance had been waiting for for generations?
The woman continued, "The Shennong Staff is extremely important to the Divine Fire Alliance, so the Divine Dragon Pearl must be obtained.
If Ruan Qiao doesn't know what's best for her, we'll go and rob her, using whatever means necessary to get the Dragon Pearl."
The entire hall was silent.
"Why aren't you talking? You don't listen to what I say, right?" the woman shouted in a deep voice.
Lu Hengnian raised his head, his tone still gentle: "We are listening to every word the goddess says."
"Since you're listening, what are you still standing there for? Alliance Leader Lu, why don't you quickly gather your forces, attack the Tianlou Chamber of Commerce, and force Ruan Qiao to hand over the Dragon Pearl.
I just don't believe that even with all the power of the Divine Fire Alliance, we still can't snatch a single Divine Dragon Pearl!"
Lu Hengnian's tone became increasingly gentle, and he slowly said, "With the full might of the Divine Fire Alliance... it is indeed possible."
The woman's expression brightened: "Why don't you do it?"
Lu Hengnian added, "But the consequence of doing so is that the Divine Fire Alliance will soon cease to exist."
The woman's expression froze.
But she quickly said, “As long as we get the Dragon Ball, awaken the Shennong Scepter, and retrieve the Shennong Fire and Shennong Cauldron, how could they not exist?
That is the correct way to save the Divine Fire Alliance."
Lu Hengnian asked, "Don't you even care about the sacrifices of our brothers from the Divine Fire Alliance?"
"Isn't it normal for a few people to die for the inheritance of the Divine Fire Alliance?
Alliance Leader Lu, please don't be soft-hearted. Without sacrifice, how can there be a brilliant future? "
Lu Hengnian: ………
Everyone else in the hall lowered their heads and said nothing.
They were afraid that as soon as they looked up, they would not be able to control the ferocious expressions on their faces.
"Alliance leader!" Jian Rang's eyes were red, and she silently asked Lu Hengnian, is this kind of goddess really what their Divine Fire Alliance wants?
They would rather not have such a goddess.
Understanding the emotions in his eyes, Lu Hengnian shook his head gently, signaling him to be patient for the time being.
Jane Rang turned her face away angrily, her chest heaving violently.
Just when the atmosphere in the hall became so tense that it couldn't get any more tense, and just when the woman at the top started urging them to gather their forces and grab the Dragon Ball, footsteps were heard outside.
Everyone immediately turned around and saw Shi Qizhou and Sheng Yao coming back.
There was also a beautiful girl following them.
The girl's eyes were clear and bright, and it was obvious at a glance that they were different from the turbid and greedy eyes of the goddess above. Her eyes made them even dissipate a lot of the hostility in their hearts.
The woman at the top was visibly stunned when she saw Ruan Qiao.
Lu Hengnian stepped forward and greeted Ruan Qiao: "This is Miss Ruan, the Saint of Tianlou, right?"
Ruan Qiao nodded and smiled: "I am Ruan Qiao."
Mr. Shi introduced, "Miss Ruan, this is the leader of our Divine Fire Alliance, Lu Hengnian."
"Alliance Master Lu, nice to meet you." Ruan Qiao said with a smile.
"Miss Ruan, you're too polite. It's a great honor for us to have you come to the Divine Fire Alliance. I don't know how to thank you!"
Lu Hengnian was indeed very excited. Ruan Qiao's coming meant that she agreed to help them awaken the Shennong Scepter.
Ruan Qiao was stunned when she saw that his eyes were so excited that they were shining with tears.
She smiled and said, "Alliance Leader Lu, you're welcome. I believe your alliance will get better and better."
Lu Hengnian was stunned. He didn't expect Ruan Qiao to say that.
For a moment, the look he gave Ruan Qiao was filled with gratitude and a hint of indescribable eagerness.
Suddenly, he saw the black ring on Ruan Qiao's finger out of the corner of his eye.
Although the ring was disguised, Lu Hengnian still felt a sense of inexplicable familiarity when he looked at it.
"Miss Ruan, you..."
He was interrupted by the woman at the table before him when he was halfway through his words.
"Since Miss Ruan is here, please take out the Dragon Ball."
Hearing the sound, everyone fell silent.
They looked towards the woman at the top.
Ruan Qiao also looked over and saw a woman in a red dress.
