Their battle has begun.
The representative of the Chen family slowly stood up.
"Your Majesty, the Spirit Realm has been invaded by alien races. My Chen family has exhausted its resources to gather cultivators to resist them. Now... to be honest, my Chen family has lost the ability to open the secret realm."
The sect leader of the Broken Sword Sect also stood up.
"The same is true for my Broken Sword Sect. Most of my disciples died in the Sword Domain. My sect spent all its money to bring their bodies back to the sect."
The sect leader of the Falling Star Sect also stood up and said the same thing.
He also stated, "Having just experienced a great calamity, I suggest that the Human King conserve resources and allow those brilliant talents to enter and cultivate when the times are more stable."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei simply shifted his gaze to the Undying Dragon Emperor.
The same applies to Cheng Yao and Xiao Qi.
Soon, the Undying Dragon Emperor slowly rose to his feet.
However, his words were completely different from his previous tone.
"Although our Western Yue Dynasty has also suffered considerable losses, and opening the secret realm does indeed require a lot of resources, we will certainly obey the King's decree."
The Chen family, the Broken Sword Sect, and the Falling Star Sect all looked at him.
When the three saw that the Undying Dragon Emperor's eyes were still fixed intently on the Human King, they realized the reason.
This guy is love-struck and says without hesitation that he likes women, especially women like Haotian who are both capable and beautiful.
The saying that is widely circulated among people is: No man, no matter how dignified, would refuse to become the gigolo of a queen.
This statement was passed down by the Undying Dragon Emperor.
Xiao Hei noticed the way Haotian was staring intently at him, and how Haotian even glanced at him every now and then.
The Undying Dragon Emperor... is indeed a talented individual.
Hopefully, he won't let lust cloud his judgment, otherwise, even without Haotian's intervention, Xiao Hei would have already buried this dragon.
The strengths of all four companies have been clearly explained.
Cheng Yao looked at Haotian and found that Haotian's expression had been indifferent from beginning to end.
Then the four of them sold their misery for a while longer.
Haotian only coughed softly a few times when they stopped talking.
"Aside from the one who was just beheaded for fun, the other three secret realms don't have the resources to open, right?"
None of the three families dared to respond.
In fact, everyone present understood.
That's because they don't have the resources to activate it; they just don't want to.
Seeing that they neither admitted nor refuted it, Haotian turned his gaze to Xiaoqi and Cheng Yao.
The Undying Dragon Emperor noticed that Haotian was no longer looking at him, and he became dejected.
"Since they can't open the secret realm, which other forces in the Spirit Realm can?"
Cheng Yao wanted to laugh inwardly. The Human King never bought into their act. Sure enough, after they made their statement, he revealed his intention to replace them.
They... are not even comparable to her Cheng family. The reason they were able to protect such a top-level secret realm is because of the Human King Palace, and the Human King Palace is precisely because of the Human King.
Cheng Yao noticed that they remained silent.
They should have suppressed other forces when they arrived.
In the Spirit Realm, because they have guarded the secret realm for many years, there are really few forces that can compare with these three families.
But... apart from her Cheng family.
"Lord King, there are indeed few forces in the Spirit Realm that have the resources to open three secret realms right now, but... apart from our Cheng family, although our Cheng family has also been affected, we still have more than enough resources to open three secret realms."
As she spoke, she glanced at the three of them, smiling at them.
The three of them jumped to their feet instantly, only then realizing what had happened.
As the person in charge of the Spirit Realm, Cheng Yao's power is undoubtedly that of the eldest brother in the Spirit Realm. However, she is not a problem to deal with any one of the four families. If she were to deal with both of them, she could even fight back and forth.
Facing three families is already a bit beyond their capabilities, but facing four families, if they are determined, they could even wipe out the Cheng family.
However, things might change if the Human King's Palace gets involved.
No one knows how much more power the Human King's Palace has, let alone the so-called strongest person on the continent.
The three of them originally planned that no force could take over three secret realms. Then, the Human King Palace would take over the secret realms, and they would use the fact that the Human King Palace had a large area to manage. Although they could not open them, they could provide resources.
Then we began to discuss in detail what percentage of resources the King's Palace would need to contribute to open the secret realm.
After all, they are also beneficiaries after the secret realm opens.
However, now that the Cheng family has done this, if they don't make a statement, the three secret realms might really fall into the hands of the Cheng family, and if they insist on fighting, they won't be able to win.
The head of the Chen family, disregarding his pride, looked at Haotian in a panic.
“Well… sir, actually, other smaller families still owe my Chen family resources, which should be enough to open a secret realm.”
The leader of the Broken Sword Sect said, "My lord, my sect can also open it by selling some shops, weapons and items in the mortal world."
The Falling Star Sect Master said, "Yes, our sect still has resources left by our ancestors. We can use them too. These resources are meant to be used only in this situation."
The three forces instantly changed their tune.
Xiaoqi couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Hei sat on the chair, looking at the little trinket in her hand with utter boredom. It was a small teapot formed from her black flames.
If Xiao Hei comes, they won't open it? If they won't open it, then get out! From now on, the secret realm has nothing to do with them.
These mere secret realms are nothing more than a space, an independent world. If she wanted to, she could open these four secret realms without even needing any resources.
