"Well, it seems that you have invited me here today for a long-planned plot!"
Nahir said coldly, "If I don't tell you the secret of the forbidden land, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to walk out of this hall today."
"Lord Xia's words are too harsh. We're doing this for the sake of the safety of the Vast Thousand Worlds. Please don't misunderstand our good intentions!"
Gordie said with a smile, "If you really don't want to tell us the secret of the restricted area, we dare not force you. However, you must agree to hold the restricted area league casting!"
"That's right! Even if you don't tell us about the situation in the restricted area, you'll still have to get our people to enter and find out what's going on!"
Milborne was even more aggressive.
"What if I don't agree?"
Nahir sneered.
"This..." Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
"Lord Xia, we have already decided on this matter. If you, the Grand Xia Dynasty, insist on acting on your own will, then you are going to force the Sacred Empire and the Thundercloud Empire to join forces against you!"
Gordie finally became serious.
"Hum! Even if you were to descend on the border with an army, there would be no negotiation over the restricted area!"
Nahir snorted coldly.
"How dare you?!"
Milborne pounded the table and stood up.
"Lord Xia, since you insist on acting on your own will, then I'll have no choice but to ask you to take a look at one item!"
As Gordie spoke, he looked at Prince Sheng, who was standing nearby, and gave a slight nod.
Prince Sheng nodded with a smile and came to Nahir's side. He blocked everyone's path and took out an item from his sleeve.
"What?"
"This is..." Nahir turned pale with fright. "How?"
"Lord Xia, can you now agree to hold the restricted area casting?"
Gordie said with a lazy smile.
"You..." Nahir looked at Gordie and the prince for a while. Finally, he sighed and said, "Well, since you're willing to die, I won't stop you, but..."
"I won't get involved in your casting. I'll only wait for you at the entrance!"
"Of course, there will be a ceremony between our Sacred Empire and the Thundercloud Empire tomorrow, and then we will choose the powerful figures respectively. We won't compete with each other!"
Gordie stroked his beard and laughed. "One month from now, the experts we've selected will all gather at the entrance to the restricted area and enter together with the people from the Grand Xia Dynasty!"
"Alright. I hope that when the time comes, my son will be able to represent the Grand Xia Dynasty. As the leader, I hope he'll lead everyone into the restricted area!"
Nahir looked at Gordie coldly.
"Of course, I think your Sixth Prince will come back safe and sound!"
Gordie gave a meaningful smile.
It turned out that the item he had asked Prince Sheng to show Nahir just now was a jade amulet from the Sixth Prince of the Grand Xia Dynasty! That jade amulet had been personally bestowed to Ludwig by Nahir. How could he not recognize it?
When he saw the jade pendant, he immediately understood that Ludwig had fallen into Gordie's hands. It was no wonder that Gordie was so fearless! Ludwig was the beloved son of Nahir, the future successor of the Grand Xia Dynasty. Nahir naturally had to be wary of him! Thus, he had no choice but to agree to Gordie's conditions.
"Hmph! When you enter the restricted area, you'll regret what you've done!" He snorted. "Then, I'll take my leave!"
Nahir stood up.
There was a magnificent and luxurious mansion in the Sacred Empire.
The gate of the mansion was carved and painted with dragons and phoenixes. The level of the mansion was only below the imperial palace of the Sacred Empire.
This was the Prince Sheng's mansion.
Gordie didn't have a capable son. His only son was Prince Sheng. Prince Sheng also had several princesses.
Therefore, Prince Sheng became the one and only future ruler of the Sacred Empire! He was the second-in-command of the Sacred Empire! "Stop, no one else is allowed to go!"
A guard at the door shouted.
He saw a young man with extremely exquisite
facial features.
Although his face was extremely handsome, he stood proudly with his hands clasped behind his back. He had the temperament of looking down on all the heroes in the world! "Who are you?"
"What are you doing here?"
