In the imperial palace of the Chaoyang Empire, Emperor Chaoyang, who was using illumination magic to light up the night court session, rubbed his head and asked, "Can you find out the background and purpose of those people?"
"..." Upon hearing this, the ministers looked at each other in silence for a while before an elderly minister with white hair stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, those people seem to have appeared out of thin air; none of them can be traced."
"No trace can be found..." Upon hearing this, Emperor Chaoyang's anger flared up instantly, and he cursed, "Useless! You're all a bunch of useless trash! Hundreds of powerful warriors, and you're telling me they all appeared out of thin air and can't be traced? Even if they attacked the palace, you still wouldn't know who the enemy is?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Seeing the emperor's anger, the white-haired minister immediately knelt on the ground trembling, saying fearfully.
"Hmph." Looking at the minister, Emperor Chaoyang snorted coldly, but did not vent his anger on the minister. He scolded, "Then why don't you continue the investigation?"
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the white-haired old minister immediately withdrew.
"Your Majesty." Seeing that they wouldn't be affected by the Emperor's fire, a general standing at the front stepped forward and said, "Those people are all professional gods, and some may even be stronger. Moreover, the magic they use is very strange, and they are also skilled in assassination techniques. Ordinary professional gods would find it difficult to deal with them. I request Your Majesty to mobilize pseudo-god level experts to stop them."
"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Emperor Chaoyang nodded and waved to a dark corner of the palace.
"Your Majesty." A shadowy figure appeared beside Emperor Chaoyang, awaiting orders.
"Take six guest advisors and go test the waters first," Emperor Chaoyang instructed.
"Yes," the shadowy figure replied, then vanished silently from the palace.
"They forcibly seize slaves and buy up all kinds of supplies, especially consumables. What do you think their purpose is?" Emperor Chaoyang asked the ministers in the hall.
“It must be aimed at the Empire,” a minister said. “The purpose of this is to deplete resources in Chaoyang City. And resource depletion is most advantageous for the siege.”
"Your thinking is indeed correct." Upon hearing this, Emperor Chaoyang said with a cold smile, "But the enemy is not as stupid as you. Sieges are only effective against ordinary civilians and ordinary troops. For the strong, even if a city is besieged, supplies will be prioritized for the strong. There will be no problem of shortage of supplies for three to five years. Moreover, since the enemy can send hundreds of strong people to infiltrate Chaoyang City silently, do you think the enemy still needs to scavenge supplies everywhere? Wouldn't it be better to unleash a few large-scale fire spells or kill people everywhere?"

On the other side, after leaving the palace with six false gods, Chao Mu went directly to find Wang Han, who had deliberately moved in front of him.
Upon seeing Wang Han moving goods from an unknown merchant's warehouse, Chao Mu immediately surrounded him with six pseudo-god-level guest elders and demanded, "What exactly is your purpose?"
"Purpose?" Seeing that he was surrounded, Wang Han looked surprised. Hearing this, Wang Han smiled and said, "It's just purchasing. What purpose could there be?"
"Just purchasing..." Upon hearing this, a cross appeared on Chao Mu's forehead. He said, "Your behavior doesn't resemble purchasing; it's more like theft. And is this how you do purchasing? Sweeping away all the resources of Chaoyang City, forcibly seizing slaves, and even killing slave owners?"
“Steal…” Wang Han shook his head. “I paid for it. The money is in the warehouse. You can go and check it out. Also, you can buy things if you need them. Killing slave owners is what they do, they’re blind. After killing the slave owners, I can’t just abandon the slaves, can I?”
"Even without a transaction, it's still a forced purchase," Chao Mu sneered. However, he didn't make a move. Those who could cultivate to the level of a pseudo-god were all shrewd and experienced, and seeing Wang Han's fearless demeanor, why would he easily take action? He had already secretly sent a message requesting reinforcements.
Wang Han chuckled sinisterly and said in a sarcastic tone, "Even if I forced you to buy it, what do you plan to do? Arrest me and interrogate me?"
"Such arrogance." Chao Mu sneered, "I hope you can continue to be arrogant in a while."
"It won't take long," Wang Han said with his arms crossed and a smile. "In that case, let's call out all the experts in Chaomu City to come out and have a match."
"How arrogant! I hope you won't regret this." Upon hearing this, Chao Mu clenched his fists, but refused to make a move. The more the other party deliberately provoked them, the more it indicated that there was a serious problem. The other party wanted them to make the first move. The other guests shared the same thought, trying their best to suppress their anger. Having lived for a long time, they were all shrewd and cunning, and none of them were afraid of losing their lives.
"Hahaha..." Just as tensions were running high, a hearty laugh rang out. A middle-aged man in a light red robe arrived with a dozen or so men. Before he even got there, his voice rang out: "Mr. Wang Han is truly witty. Killing a few slave traders is no big deal. I've been quite annoyed with them too."
"Your Majesty." Chao Mu and the six false gods surrounding Wang Han immediately knelt down and bowed to the newcomer, calling out loudly.
"Get up. You are so rude. Apologize to Mr. Wang Han." Emperor Chaoyang waved his hand, then clasped his hands towards Wang Han and said, "Mr. Wang Han, I have long heard of your great name. Ever since Mr. Wang Han destroyed the Blue Maple Empire, I have wanted to meet you and see your demeanor, but I have been too busy with palace affairs."
'Wang Han, that's the mad god.' The few false gods who had surrounded Wang Han earlier looked at each other, feeling relieved that they hadn't attacked, otherwise this madman might have killed them.
