"Lord Richard, since His Highness has permitted you, I have nothing more to say!" The black-bearded General said solemnly through the interpreter, "Now, I need your army to clear the road immediately! This is the territory of our Tang Zang, and our army should pass unimpeded! From now on, I will take full control of the underground palace of the Seven Treasures Pagoda. When His Highness the prince arrives later, we will continue to resolve the remaining issues!"

Richard glanced back and saw that General Pan had already led the panda warriors out of the underground palace, so he felt assured and readily agreed to the black-bearded General’s request.
Both parties got what they wanted; the Summer Palace’s guard retreated to the other side of the Seven Treasures Pagoda, relinquishing the underground palace to the Tang Zang army. In return, although the Tang Zang soldiers surrounded the Summer Palace guard from all sides, their weapons were sheathed, no longer as aggressive as before.
Xiao Kong sensed trouble and quickly asked the old man for the Vajra Magic Teleportation Array to find his mentor.
Not long after, the black-bearded General indeed flew into a rage!
On the Silk Continent, both official and unofficial histories clearly recorded the Seven Treasures Pagoda: The tyrant of Yunqin once filled the underground palace with gold, silver, and jewels, tricking the valiant warriors to enter and claim their rewards, thereby trapping the most powerful Confucian warrior in one fell swoop!
Now, in this vast underground palace of the pagoda, apart from sewage, there was only a dead rat. There wasn’t a trace of gold, silver, or jewels, not even a single skeleton or bone could be found!
The black-bearded General was utterly furious!
Space equipment isn’t unheard of on the Silk Continent; the black-bearded General was certain that these foreigners must have used space equipment to sweep away all the treasures in the underground palace!
How could this be allowed?
With a command from the General, the Tang Zang army immediately positioned all the heavy siege crossbows in front of the Summer Palace guard.
"The General only gives you the time of an incense stick! You must lay down your weapons and hand over all the treasures from the underground palace!" The interpreter bellowed at Richard and the Summer Palace guard: "If you resist, there will be no mercy!"
A slim incense stick was inserted into the ground, and judging by the wafting pace of its blue smoke, it would burn out in no more than five sandglass turns.
"The fact that there are treasures in the Seven Treasures Pagoda is known to everyone on the Silk Continent." Yi Tiao asked the boss, "What should we do? What if His Highness doesn’t make it in time, and they really start fighting?"
"Damn! The ownership of these Yunqin relics naturally belongs to the Yunqin Empire, not the Tang Zang Empire! Now that the Yunqin Empire is gone, it should belong to the Yunqin descendants! And what are the Yunqin descendants to me? Besides, who other than me could have opened the underground palace of the Seven Treasures Pagoda? Why should all these treasures go to the Tang Zang Empire?" Richard looked at the Tang Zang army closely surrounding him and whistled loudly, "This Tang Zang General doesn’t want to give us any benefits, and he wants us to disarm; he’s absolutely crazy!"
"That’s just sophistry! The Yunqin Empire is long gone; this is indeed territory within the Tang Zang Empire now! True, by international convention, the first right of selection and half the ownership of the treasures you excavated should belong to you, but the Tang Zang Empire didn’t invite you to help them dig up relics! Just because you have a big shop, doesn’t mean you can bully the customer; just because the slave is big, doesn’t mean he can bully the master. This is Tang Zang Empire’s turf, are you planning to start a war with them?" Elise laughed, "Better to retreat quickly, it will be awkward if the fight actually starts!"
"I’m afraid we can’t leave even if we want to!" Master Stefano pointed with his mouth.
In the sky at dawn in the east, a massive golden cotton candy cloud flew swiftly like an arrow.
This cloud was filled with a dense array of troops, at least two or three hundred men, the rhythm of elements shaking the space from afar.
"Ten Thousand Miles Flying Cloud!" Yi Tiao chuckled, "This thing’s status on the Silk Continent is equivalent to the magic teleportation array on the Aegean Continent. Those qualified to have it are either world-dominating tycoons or the most powerful nobility! Gold is a unique symbol of royalty, so this golden ’Ten Thousand Miles Flying Cloud’ must be carrying the ’Holden Guard’ ----- the Tang Zang Royal Guard, the true elite force!"
"The more experts come, the less likely they are here to fight. They’re here to make a statement, to give us a show of strength." Richard understood clearly: "Wait and see, even though Ninth Brother went to invite His Highness, I’m sure that if we don’t suffer some loss, His Highness will not appear at all! First, the ’Five Elements Defense Array’ was given to Lishan Gate, now they use the ’Ten Thousand Miles Flying Cloud’ to transport the ’Holden Guard’; the official stance of Tang Zang is quite intriguing."
The golden "Ten Thousand Miles Flying Cloud" slowly descended before the Tang Zang military formation, the cotton candy cloud platform was as imposing as a three-meter-high hill! As the people from it jumped down and set foot on the ground, all the Tang Zang soldiers knelt on one knee, displaying their respect.
The dense golden mist of the "Ten Thousand Miles Flying Cloud," was rapidly contracting and shrinking, gradually unveiling a massive octagonal metal plate wrapped in the cloud.
Much like a whirling whirlpool, the swirling golden clouds were all absorbed into this octagonal metal plate; in a moment, it was as clean as can be.
Master Aymar was stunned, continuously marveling at the wisdom crystalized by Eastern alchemists, indeed not to be underestimated!
Qingya tugged on Yi Tiao’s sleeve and whispered something.
"My wife says another Prince has arrived, as they bear the Prince’s banner and emblem!" Yi Tiao raised his head and winked at Old Liu: "My wife said the Tang Zang Empire originally had four Princes, two of whom were killed by the Emperor! Since the mighty figure, His Highness, is right in Heru City, the Prince who’s here must be the Empire’s most renowned strongman — His Highness ’First Day’s Occupation’!"
Just as Yi Tiao finished speaking, a slender, gentle, gold-crowned Tang Zang Prince led an entourage of guards towards the Seven Treasures Pagoda.
This His Highness walked gracefully, exuding nobility, and bore no resemblance to the traditional image of a strongman at all.
Such a person seems easy to speak with, but is often the most terrifying.
I recommend "Big World", "Bullying Overlord", and "Myth of Destiny"; these three books are new works by the most powerful authors from the Qidian platform, guaranteed to not disappoint!
Another recommendation is "Five Days", this book seems to be written according to the setting of Beast Blood, and the author updates very quickly.
