Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1124 Making up for the situation before it is too late
Although Ye Qingqiu was not the clan leader's biological son, he was still the clan leader's direct nephew. Within the Ye clan, Ye Qingqiu had always been one of the leading figures, and his strength was comparable to that of Ye Qingmei.

Seeing this, the City Lord of the East gently tapped the back of his chair, and immediately a dark energy surged in, sealing off the hall. Liquid metal symbols flowed at the entrance.

Ye Qingqiu suddenly realized that he could no longer get out.

"No one is allowed to leave until the matter is clarified." The voice of the Eastern City Lord carried a cold and authoritative tone.

'It seems to be a domain-suppressing power, but it appears to be somewhat different from the Myriad Swords Domain-suppressing Power used by Li Yanzun.'

Bai Pu sensed this power and silently made plans in his mind.

It seems that the theft of Lei Jiao's core only made the grand formation incomplete. In the city lord's mansion at the core of the grand formation, the Eastern City Lord can still exert the power of suppressing the region.

Ye Qingqiu's guilty conscience and subsequent escape clearly confirmed Ye Qingmei's accusations against him.

Ye Xiu flashed forward, appearing in front of Ye Qingqiu. His gaze was complex, filled with shock, confusion, and of course, anger.

"Qingqiu, with so many senior experts here, you can't escape. Obediently explain everything to the city lord... Why did you betray the Ye Clan and join the Sha Clan? What benefits did they give you?"

Suddenly, Ye Qingqiu became the target of everyone's criticism.

Although he possessed considerable strength, being a level 16 lord, under the suppression of the Eastern City Lord's domain, he could only unleash 30% of his abilities, making him easily subdued by Ye Xiu.

Of course, his original strength was not as good as Ye Xiu's.

After being captured, Ye Qingqiu went all out and sneered, "That's right, I cooperated with the Sand Clan. As for why, Clan Chief, my good uncle, you should ask yourself first. Have you been fair to my branch all these years?"

"Before my father died, didn't he ask you to take care of us? Did you really do that? Every time the clan distributes 'Azure Wood Beads,' I only get a tiny portion, which is not worthy of my contributions to the Ye Clan!"

Ye Xiu's lips trembled, as if he wanted to speak, but then he sighed deeply: "Is it just because of this?"

His eyes were filled with deep disappointment.

"Cough cough."

Bai Pu coughed lightly. "Mr. Ye Qingqiu, don't rush to complain about fate and unfairness. In my opinion, you and Ye Qingmei are equally strong, and you are basically the leading figures of the younger generation of the Ye clan. If the clan leader really treats you unfairly in every way, as you say, how could you have such strength after your father died? Are you really a gifted individual who can make rapid progress without relying on resources?"

Bai Pu's words seemed to remind the Ye clan members, and they all started cursing at once.

"Ye Qingqiu, the clan leader personally taught you the Wood-Slaying Qi and nurtured your meridians for three consecutive days. Have you forgotten?"

"Ye Qingqiu, there were only three qualifications to go to the ancestral land for enlightenment last time. Even Qingmei didn't get one. The clan leader gave it to you. Have you forgotten?"

Others made sarcastic remarks: "Of course he doesn't remember. Someone like him would only remember one time when the Green Wood Beads were distributed and he took a small portion for himself!"

"The Azure Wood Beads were originally intended for the weaker members of the clan to supplement their cultivation. He probably didn't notice that Miss Ye Qingmei didn't receive a single Azure Wood Bead at the time!"

"You heartless wretch! You ungrateful wretch!"

Ye Qingqiu's face was deathly pale. With his meridians sealed, he could only slump to the ground, looking like a defeated dog.

"quiet!"

The majestic voice of the Eastern City Lord echoed in the hall.

He then looked at Sha Tongtian: "Sha Tongtian, the truth seems to have come out now. Do you have anything else to say?"

Come on, keep making excuses.

Sha Tongtian's face paled slightly. He first glared hatefully at Bai Pu, seemingly cursing the man who had ruined his plans. Then, he knelt on one knee and, his voice trembling, addressed the city lord:
"Lord City Lord, all of this was the reckless act of my subordinates. It was Sha Hao's own idea. I had no idea he would do something like framing the Ye Clan. I trusted him too much and believed his report after receiving it."

"Rest assured, Lord City Lord. Give me three days. As long as I capture this brat, I will bring him before you. You can do whatever you want with him!"

"shameless……"

Immediately, members of the Ye clan shouted angrily in rebuke.

"Clan Chief Sha Tongtian, it's rather clumsy of you to only now try to sever ties with Sha Hao and shift all the blame onto him. Also, there's something Miss Ye Qingmei didn't say: Sha Hao is dead, and I killed him with my own hands," Bai Pu said calmly.

Bai Pu didn't mind making enemies. Since he was already hated by the Sand Clan, he might as well offend them thoroughly and also improve the Ye Clan's favorability.

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, he immediately received a notification that his reputation among the Ye Clan had increased, and he was now at the Respected level. At the same time, many people in the Ye Clan also increased their favorability towards him.

However, Bai Pu knew that the Sand Clan would be punished, but probably not completely wiped out. Regardless of how lame Sha Tongtian's excuse was, according to the power structure of Huai Xi City, the city lord was the powerful dragon, while the three clans were local snakes. The city lord also needed the three clans to fight and check each other to solidify his position.

If he supports the Leaf Clan and eradicates the Sand Clan, how will he consolidate his position once the Leaf Clan gains power without any checks and balances?
Similarly, even if Bai Pu hadn't appeared, and the Sand Clan had successfully framed the Ye Clan, the Eastern City Lord wouldn't have exterminated the Ye Clan.

The Eastern City Lord said calmly, "Sha Tongtian, even if Sha Hao were still alive, what use would it be if I skinned him alive a thousand times? Thunder Horn is now useless, and the city's protective formation is incomplete. If the beast tide comes, your Sha Clan will be the sinners of Huai Xi City!"

"The focus now should not be on shirking responsibility, but on how to mend the situation after the fact."

"How can we mend the situation after the fact?" Bai Pu asked, sensing the impending mission.

Dongfang Hong smiled and said, "Repairing the city's protective array is actually quite simple. The only thing missing now is the Thunder Horn Core. We just need to find another Thunder Horn Core."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three clans in the hall all changed.

Bai Pu could tell from their expressions that finding the Thunder Horn Core was by no means a simple matter.

Sha Tongtian knelt down and kowtowed to Dongfang Hong:
"Lord City Lord, to obtain the Thunderhorn Core, we need to kill the Thunderhorn Kui Bull of the Northern Swamp. That beast's strength... even if all of us from the Sand Clan went together, we probably wouldn't be a match for it!"

Dongfang Hong said calmly, "Clan Chief Sha Tongtian, if you make a mistake, you must admit it. Even if it costs the entire Sha Clan, you must pay the price for the crimes you have committed."

Sha Tongtian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes. But I'm worried that even if our Sha Clan is wiped out, we won't be able to bring back the Thunder Horn Core, and it will only delay the important matters of Huai Xi City."

"In this campaign against the Thunderhorn Kui Niu, our Sand Clan is willing to be the main force, no matter how many lives we lose. But we hope that other families in Huai Xi City can also contribute... This all depends on the City Lord's intervention."

Bai Pu chuckled to himself. This Sha Tongtian clan chief was quite self-aware. He probably knew that he wasn't well-liked in Huai Xi City, so he asked the city lord, Dongfang Hong, to help him recruit more helpers.

Dongfang Hong looked at the patriarchs of the Lin and Ye clans, cleared his throat, and said, "Patriarchs Ye Xiu and Lin Tong, did you both hear what Patriarch Sha just said? The Thunder Horn Core is related to the safety of our Huai Xi City, and there is no time to lose. At this critical moment, I hope that you two patriarchs can put aside your grudges, pool your wisdom and efforts, and work together to protect Huai Xi City..."

Before Lin Tong, the patriarch of the Lin clan, could express his opinion, voices of opposition had already emerged from the Ye clan.

"No, why?"

"The despicable Sand Clan originally intended to harm our Leaf Clan, but fortunately, our clan's fortunes have not run out, and a powerful outsider came to our aid. Otherwise, wouldn't the blame for this incident be pinned on our Leaf Clan today?"

"This is all you want us to help him with?"

Clan Chief Ye Xiu remained silent, merely watching Dongfang Hong. He made no move to suppress the dissent within the clan, a move that clearly showed little respect for Dongfang Hong, the city lord.

However, considering the injustice suffered by the Ye clan, Ye Xiu's situation is understandable.

Seeing the Ye Clan's outrage, Lord Dongfang Hongcheng had no choice but to start with the Sha Clan, forcing them to pay an even greater price.

"Clan Chief Sha Tongtian, this matter arose because of your Sha Clan. Asking for help naturally requires your Sha Clan to pay a corresponding price."

Sha Tongtian repeatedly said, "My Sha clan is willing to pay the price to make up for our mistakes!"

The three clan leaders, along with the Eastern City Lord, stared at each other, their thoughts and feelings interacting.

Others could neither hear nor perceive the content of their conversation, but judging from the expressions of these four people, they were likely bargaining.

The Sand Clan, at a significant disadvantage, paid a heavy price in exchange for the Leaf Clan and the Forest Clan's agreement to send their elite troops to join forces with the Sand Clan in attacking the Thunderhorn Kui Niu.

Bai Pu admired Sha Tongtian's decisive surrender.

This kind of man, who can be both flexible and assertive, can be considered a formidable figure. In comparison, the three primitive tribes of Cuiling are indeed lacking in skill.

If he doesn't back down today, the Sand Clan might very well be wiped out of Huaixi City.

Sha Tongtian is a man who can take things in stride.

While the three clans of Huaixi City were discussing their plan to subdue the Thunder Horned Kui Ox, Bai Pu did not volunteer.

Although he could already sense the mission, there was definitely a difference between being invited by someone and going to them willingly.

Moreover, Bai Pu had every reason to be confident in his abilities. Now that he had encountered this situation, the people of Huai Xi City would certainly ask him for help, for no other reason than his confidence in his own strength!

As expected, after assigning tasks to the three clans and agreeing on the number of people to be sent, Dongfang Hong then invited Bai Pu into the inner hall, along with the clan leaders and other important figures of lord level or above.
