The master of Qingshan Tower watched this scene without any objection, just like the remnants of the Jingjue Ancient City, causing the experts of Qingshan Tower to hide and lie low for the time being.

The young girl, Ah Xiu, remained silent, seemingly deep in thought. Of course, with several elders present, it wasn't her turn to speak.

Meanwhile, in the underground White Emperor City, besides the several top martial arts masters who were chasing the Divine Weapon Mountain-Turning Seal, the other masters who had entered the White Emperor's Tomb together earlier went to the locations where the four pillars of light that shot into the sky appeared.

Clearly, although these top martial arts masters had all heard what appeared to be the threat from the White King from a thousand years ago, they were not so easily frightened by a few words from a dead man and left this precious place.

Moreover, the four pillars of light that have suddenly appeared in the city may contain some kind of martial arts treasure similar to the Divine Weapon Mountain-Turning Seal, so they will not give up easily and must go and check it out.

However, what no one noticed was that the four beams of light shone so brightly that they almost illuminated and enveloped the entire underground White Emperor City.

The once desolate and silent city of tombs is now beginning to undergo some changes invisibly.

Strange rustling sounds, along with the clicking of metal gears, gradually emerged from the city streets, palaces, houses, tunnels, and culverts.

A dense cacophony of sounds came from all directions, starting as soft as a mosquito's buzz, then growing into a deep, thunderous roar, until finally reaching the ears of everyone in the underground White Emperor City, making it impossible for anyone to ignore.

At the same time, the Shadow Insects, including the one that had previously chased the bald old man, reappeared from the dark areas of the city. In addition, all sorts of poisonous insects and ants began to swarm out of their underground nests, frantically searching for any signs of life in the underground White Emperor City, as if they were hunting dogs smelling blood.

In addition to the four pillars of light that shot into the sky, phantoms resembling the Golden Sky Bird also appeared in various parts of the city.

“That’s the Ghost Chariot Lion, that’s the Cloud-Walking Thunder Leopard, and that’s the Crimson Shadow Flying Crow…”

The girl in red, who was following the Seventh Ancestor, looked at the phantoms that appeared in the sky and began to speak as if they were her own treasures.

Upon seeing these were merely phantom images of ancient, wondrous birds and beasts that only appeared in legends, the three elders, including the Seventh Ancestor, frowned slightly. The Sixth Ancestor spoke first:
"It seems that the words of the White King, who was suspected to be from a thousand years ago, were not just empty threats. The White Tiger Temple intends to wipe out everyone who enters the White Emperor's Tomb."

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Patriarch's aged face gradually composed itself, and he said:

"The auras of these strange birds and beasts are not weak, and coupled with the various violent poisonous creatures that have appeared in the city, the current situation poses a certain threat to our people."

Just then, the Seventh Patriarch looked down at the star chart compass in his hand, and saw that the Evening Star, which had been unable to light up and appear before, was now beginning to show part of its outline and location.

The Fifth Patriarch and the Sixth Patriarch also turned to look at each other. The Fifth Patriarch's expression was unusual as he said:

"It seems that the White Tiger Temple's intervention is not entirely a bad thing. By activating the mechanisms of the underground city in front of us, it has inadvertently provided an assistance, accelerating the display of the star map's location."

Upon hearing this, the young man in blue and the young woman in red who were following the Fifth and Seventh Ancestors all stared at the compass in the Seventh Ancestor's hand, and a look of joy appeared on their faces.

The compass directions were displayed, which meant that they would soon be able to enter the tomb of the White King and the burial ground of the ancient ferocious beast, the White Tiger. This undoubtedly brought them one step closer to the plan for the revival of their tribe.

“However, the threat from the White Tiger Temple has not been eliminated. We are still at a critical juncture, and we should be even more careful.” The girl in red withdrew her gaze from the star map compass, not letting joy cloud her judgment, but instead appearing quite rational.

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Patriarch nodded slightly and said:
"The threat posed by the White Tiger Temple should not be underestimated. We must deal with them properly and try our best not to let them affect the clan's plans."

The young man in blue robes looked thoughtful, then suddenly turned his gaze to Ah Xiu, the girl standing behind the Sixth Patriarch, and narrowed his eyes slightly, saying:

"It was common knowledge in Baidi City that the White Tiger Temple chose to back down when facing the new leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion, and it was rumored that they were afraid of the prince of Dali."

"Since this elder sister has some connection with that prince of Dali, we can ask him to restrain the White Tiger Temple. In this way, our clan can successfully complete our plan for this trip."

Upon hearing this, the young girl Ah Xiu looked up, rolled her eyes at the boy in blue, and said speechlessly:
"Do you think I have enough influence to get the other party to take action?"

"Besides, why do you think that Prince of Dali should help us? He doesn't owe us anything!"

Upon hearing this, the young man in blue was clearly taken aback, but he quickly let out a cold laugh and said:
"I'm just asking you to ask him for help. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, there's no harm in giving it a try."

"Moreover, if he wants to make a deal, our clan has enough resources and leverage. As long as this plan succeeds, the entire Western Desert will be ours. If that prince of Dali has any sense, he should know how to make a choice."

Upon hearing this, the young girl Ah Xiu merely gave the boy in blue a strange look.

Admittedly, the other party's qualifications are indeed worthy of being called the number one chosen one in the clan, but he has never met Li Musheng and is too confident in the remnants of the Jingjue Ancient City.

They had no idea how strong Li Musheng was, nor had they ever experienced how terrifying the pressure they felt when facing him was!
Therefore, in the eyes of the young girl Ah Xiu, the boy in blue was undoubtedly ignorant at this moment, and she did not pay any attention to what he said.

However, at this moment, the Fifth Patriarch looked at the Sixth Patriarch with a thoughtful expression and said:

"I think Qing'er's suggestion is worth a try. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Patriarch's two white eyebrows, which hung down to his chest, moved without any wind. However, he did not reply immediately, but instead turned to look at the girl, Ah Xiu.

Seeing this, the young girl Ah Xiu was about to speak, but the Sixth Patriarch withdrew his gaze and slowly said:
"That Eighth Prince of Dali is famous throughout the martial arts world. He can make the White Tiger Temple retreat. In terms of reputation in the martial arts world, he far surpasses us old codgers who live in a remote corner."

"It would be inappropriate to send a junior member of the clan to negotiate with such a person. If we happen to encounter him in the Tomb of the White Emperor, I should lead Ah Xiu to discuss the matter with him."

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Patriarch and the Seventh Patriarch exchanged a glance, and then both nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with the Sixth Patriarch's words.

The young man in blue robes standing to the side had some objections, but he could only obey the three elders and said nothing more. (End of Chapter)
