"Besides, haven''t you guys suffered rtively few casualties?" Maidee grinned shamelessly.


    What were 20 to 30 livespared to the 30,000 people he burned with one firestorm ten years ago? "Are lives just numbers to you?" Bluster sneered.


    "What do you want, then?" Bobbit asked, his expression cold as he red at them. He would have already started a fight in the past, but recalling Nash''s terrifyingbat strength, he restrained his temper.


    Maidee calmly replied, "We propose that we won''t covet treasures that belong to the East. In return, you must yield treasures that belong to the West to us."


    It was a reasonable proposal, and Das was inclined to agree immediately. However, Dante responded, "The capable should be the ones to get those treasures. I was thinking instead that any treasure should be contested by cultivators below the Profound Oriental Realm without either our Profound Oriental Realm experts or your Legendary Realm experts intervening."


    Maidee and Bobbit exchanged nces, noting the hesitation in each other''s eyes. After a moment of thought, Bobbit asked in a low voice, "ording to their terms, we can alsopete for Eastern treasures."


    Maidee nodded. "That''s the idea."


    Bobbit''s lips curled into a disdainful smile. "It looks like they have great confidence in their Mystique Loyalty Realm cultivators."


    Maidee''s expression turned serious. "Do you remember the young man who severely injured Yodel and then fought two first-tier Legendary Realm experts simultaneously?"


    Bobbit''s expression darkened slightly at the reminder. He certainly remembered that young man.


    Despite being at the Mystique Loyalty Realm, the man had defeated Yodel, who was at the Legendary Realm, andter survived an attack by two first-tier Legendary Realm experts. It sounded as if they intended to rely on this young man to control the situation. "Then we can''t agree to their terms!" Bobbit said coldly.


    "They hold the advantage now. If we don''t agree, we''ll have to fight again," Maidee said as his gaze flitted toward the Chaos Tower standing tall on the mountain. "If you''re confident you can handle Nash, I have no objections."


    At the mention of Nash, Bobbit''s demeanor instantly deted.


    Maidee then raised his head and said to Das and the others, "Alright, we''ll go with your rules."


    With the negotiations concluded, Maidee and Bobbit departed while Dante and the others returned to the Chaos Tower to inform the leaders of the various factions about the agreement.


    Excited, Ryan said, "Only Mystique Loyalty Realm participants? That''s great!"


    Having already defeated a Profound Oriental Realm expert, he was confident he could dominate those at the Mystique Loyalty Realm.


    "Don''t underestimate them. The Western cultivators also have prodigies capable of challenging people above their level," Das reminded.


    "Don''t worry, Elder Cricton. I promise


    I won''t embarrass our country or our organization!" Ryan dered as he patted his chest confidently. His

    bordering on arrogance.


    Half amused and half exasperated, Das replied, "Alright, alright, we believe you!" He then turned to Eric and said, "Elder Sands, please lead us over."


    ...


    Eric maneuvered the Chaos Tower


    to a spot not far from the


    five-colored pir of light. In the


    center of this pir was a ten-meter diameter circle with an engraving of a four-winged angel.


    Seeing this, Das smiled and said, "No wonder they wanted peace. The treasure about to appear is indeed of Western origin!"


    Ryan licked his lips, his excitement growing. "Even better! Stealing their treasure will be thrilling!"


    Gerbind hesitantly asked, "Won''t this seem hical? If word gets out, how will others view Drakonia''s cultivation world?"


    June rolled her eyes at Gerbind. "The


    Western faction is made up of cultivation forces from dozens of Western countries. It doesn''t matter if word gets out. Besides, they attacked us at night. Was that honorable of them?"


    Gerbind chuckled awkwardly. "Alright, then we don''t have to hold back when we fight!"


    The Chaos Towernded on the ground.
