Chapter 108 Various factions harbor their own ulterior motives, vying to offer their most precious treasures!
"The national treasure of Tiandou is here!"
The Heavenly Warriors quickly carried forward a pure gold treasure box.
Even before the treasure box was opened, one could already faintly sense the warm glow emanating from it.
Emperor Xueye stepped forward personally, placing his hands on the edge of the treasure box, his tone somewhat solemn:
"General Su, please take a look. This is the national treasure of our Heavenly Dou Empire. It was introduced to us by Tianmu earlier, so I'm sure you know something about it."
"Vast Ocean Universe Cover - Heart of the Ocean!"
As he finished speaking, Emperor Xueye slowly opened the pure gold treasure box.
In an instant, a soft yet non-glaring aquamarine halo spread out from the box.
As the core of the Sea God's artifact, its aura was naturally incomparable to that of ordinary objects, causing a tremor on the scene!
"Um."
Su Lie's eyes showed little emotion, and he nodded slightly.
"This item is barely acceptable and can be used as a gift. Keep it for now and hand it over to our city lord personally after you enter the city!"
Just when the Tian Dou group thought they could enter the city smoothly, Su Lie said again:
"But, as far as I know, you are composed of three forces."
"This item is only permitted as a gift for the Heavenly Dou royal family! The other two factions are not allowed to enter!"
"If you wish to enter, then offer divine objects as gifts, or the most precious items. You may offer the 'Distraction Control Secret Technique' and the 'Dragon Transformation Secret Technique'!"
The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene instantly turned extremely cold.
No one would have thought that a divine object could not satisfy Chang'an's appetite!
They even need the very foundational principles and secret techniques of the two major sects!
"I'm only giving you three breaths to consider!"
Su Lie's majestic voice slowly rang out, reaching everyone's ears.
This order was given by the city lord, not on a whim.
The city lord certainly wouldn't be interested in these shabby secret techniques; he probably just wants to dampen their spirits.
"Father, Uncle, let's quickly agree to this general's request! We must offer up the secret technique immediately!"
Liu Erlong, sitting in the back row, spoke first, lowering his voice to Yu Luomian and Yu Yuanzhen.
If she can't get into Chang'an City, how can she help Xiaogang get the "ultimate" and reconcile with him?
"you!!"
Yu Yuanzhen stared intently at her.
Yu Luomian also stared intently at Liu Erlong.
He shouldn't have agreed to let that bastard daughter born to a servant come along.
Even Yu Tianheng didn't give her a friendly look.
How could a family member help an outsider say such outrageous things!
But now they have no choice...
Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand, took out the sect's most treasured artifact, and respectfully said:
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is willing to offer our most treasured artifact, the 'Dragon Transformation Secret Technique,' and sincerely enter the city to pay our respects to the Lord of Chang'an!"
After struggling for a moment, Ning Fengzhi followed closely behind and respectfully said:
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is also willing to offer the 'Distraction Control Secret Technique' and sincerely enter the city to pay a visit to Chang'an and to the Lord of Chang'an!"
Su Lie nodded in satisfaction:
"Very good! Keep them for now, and hand them over to our city lord personally after we enter the city!"
"Guards, let them through and lead them into Chang'an!"
The city gates opened the next moment.
Several soldiers came out to greet them.
The leader was actually a blue super soldier.
Unlike lowly soldiers, he possesses an independent sense of self!
"Hiss, these are the soul tool soldiers and super soldiers?"
Emperor Xueye was startled.
These soldiers all possessed a powerful aura!
Especially the leading soldier, whose aura was no less than that of Marshal Goron!
He's at least at the Soul Douluo level, and might even be... a Title Douluo!
The group was also extremely surprised, never expecting that Chang'an was hidden even more deeply than they had imagined!
"Chang'an and Ye Han, I'm determined to have them!"
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, secretly made a vow in her heart.
Liu Erlong also secretly made a vow in his heart:
"No matter what it takes, I'm determined to get the 'ultimate' solution to help Xiaogang overcome his flaws and reconcile with him!"
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong discussed amongst themselves in hushed tones:
"Our Rongrong has joined Chang'an. We don't know if we'll be able to see her on this trip. Will she come looking for us?!"
Yu Tianheng and Xue Beng, and even the others, remained silent, each harboring their own secrets.
The path to enlightenment will begin today!
They were determined to win the favor of the ruler of Chang'an!
...
Outside Chang'an City.
The Great Wall stretches for hundreds of miles, with the West Gate, Baihu Gate.
The Star Luo Empire's forces have arrived once again.
The core figures remain Emperor Dai Xiaotian, Empress Zhu Qingyue, as well as Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.
The entourage behind them were no longer all soldiers displaying military might, but mostly servants.
Clearly, after learning that Chang'an possessed countless god-level martial souls, they became much more obedient.
"Hehehe, aren't these the little mice that escaped last time? Here for revenge?!"
As soon as they approached the city gate, Baili Xuance leaped onto the crenellations of the city wall, a wicked grin on his face.
The moment Dai Xiaotian and his companions saw him, the scene of the massacre he had committed that day flashed through their minds.
Anger, humiliation, and even fear surged within them, yet they could only suppress them.
"No, no! General Baili, please don't misunderstand! We have come to Chang'an with the sincere intention of visiting and establishing friendly relations with the city!"
Dai Xiaotian quickly dismounted from the tiger, bowed respectfully, and waved behind him:
"Guards! Present the tribute from our Star Luo Empire!!!"
In an instant, more than a dozen large, pure gold treasure chests were carried up.
Upon opening them one by one, they were found to contain countless treasures of gold and silver, precious medicinal herbs, and books.
It even includes quite a few soul bones, but they are of low age and quality, with a maximum age of several thousand years.
The faces of Dai Xiaotian and his companions were filled with both heartache and unwavering confidence.
This worship ceremony cost the equivalent of a quarter of their entire imperial treasury.
With such an astonishingly generous gift, they were convinced that Chang'an would not refuse them entry into the city for a visit.
However, after glancing at it, Baili Xuance's brows furrowed immediately:
"You dare to flaunt this worthless trash? Is this all the sincerity your Star Luo Empire has to offer?!"
The moment these words were spoken, the certainty and confidence on Dai Xiaotian and the others' faces froze.
"you!!"
Dai Xiaotian was filled with resentment, but he could only suppress his anger:
"Then may I ask, what kind of courtesy must we offer to catch General Baili's eye and gain his permission to enter the city for a visit?!"
Baili Xuance's lips curled into a smile:
"The city lord has decreed that a divine object must be presented as a gift; if none is available, then the most precious item shall be offered!"
"Your Xingluo is so trashy, you certainly don't have any divine artifacts. So please offer up your military treatises, strategies for establishing a nation and passing them down through generations!"
Dai Xiaotian and his group's expressions changed drastically.
These things are the foundation of their Xingluo Kingdom, their most core secrets.
Handing these over would undoubtedly put the lifeline of the entire Star Luo into the hands of others!
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." If Chang'an finds out about this, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"What? You're not willing?!"
Baili Xuance's expression changed slightly, his face full of impatience:
"We, Chang'an, have countless powerful warriors. Destroying your Xingluo would be a piece of cake. What we want is a sincere attitude!"
"If you don't want to, then get out!!"
Although Dai Xiaotian was unwilling and humiliated, he finally agreed:
"Alright! I'm willing to offer it up!!!"
He naturally carried these things with him.
After all, there's nowhere safer than having it on him.
Just as he was about to take it out, Baili Xuance casually waved his hand and said:
"No need to take it out. Hand it over to our city lord personally after entering the city!"
"Guards, let them through and lead them into Chang'an!"
The city gate slowly opened.
A super soldier emerged, accompanied by several regular soldiers.
Dai Xiaotian sensed the aura of the super soldier and was suddenly startled:
"What? A mere squad leader's aura is no less than mine; he must be at least level 89!"
Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were also dumbfounded.
Last time, I didn't notice from a distance that these soldiers' auras were far superior to theirs.
You have to understand, they are all at the level of a four-ring Soul Master now, they are not even as good as a soldier!
Just how many hidden cards does this city of Chang'an hold?!
Shocked and bewildered, they were led into the city.
...
Outside Chang'an City.
The Great Wall, East Gate - Qinglong Gate!
Bai He and her granddaughter Bai Chenxiang have come searching all the way here!
