Upon verifying the information’s accuracy, Qin Huai and Gou Jie deduced that the allure of the ancestral source blood might have overwhelmed the white tiger clan’s leader.

Nevertheless, Qin Huai wasn’t deeply concerned about the motives. His primary objective was locating the ninth king. He wouldn’t waste time speculating on the intricate web of events leading to his current situation.

However, the king of the black tortoise clan’s words did raise Qin Huai’s suspicions. Perhaps the initial kings were merely pawns, set up by the white tiger clan’s leader to lure Qin Huai into a trap.

This black tortoise king, Wu Weifeng, had an armor piece similar to the dragon’s revered scale. If broken, it could mean the end for the wearer. Its potent life essence was even more concentrated than the purple flames and the Qi Mountain’s life-suppressing item.

After conveying his directives, Qin Huai vanished once more. While he was ever-watchful of his followers, they too faced constant threats.

Thanks to his Kun Peng wings, Qin Huai traversed the vast landscapes of Great You swiftly. The nine kings had orchestrated a series of diversions to throw off their pursuers, but Qin Huai had intercepted their elaborate plans, rendering their efforts futile.

Several kings, upon witnessing Qin Huai’s power, cursed the white tiger clan and opted to join his side. Still, a defiant black tortoise king chose to fight Qin Huai, only to face an expected defeat. After his demise in the bronze world, his remains were sent to the True Path Sect as compensation for mending the bronze array.

In a remote landscape, Gou Jie, having traveled a significant distance, joined Qin Huai. He relayed that out of the nine kings, six had allied with Qin Huai, one was defeated, and the remaining two were Wu Wang of the Nine Supremes clan and Fierce Tiger King of the white tiger clan.

However, a dilemma arose: the white tiger clan refused to share information about the last two kings.

“What is the meaning of this? It doesn’t make sense…” Qin Huai, puzzled, wondered about their reasons. After all, if the white tiger clan wanted the nine kings to succeed, why leak any information at all?

Equally perplexed, Gou Jie shook his head. “I also can’t guess what the leader of the white tiger clan is thinking. In any case, no matter how much we offer, the other party won’t budge.”

After a brief contemplation, Qin Huai decided to refocus. “Forget it then. For now, our efforts against the seven kings will suffice. As for the final two, we’ll address the matter once we reach Mount Erniu at Qingzhou’s border.”

Erniu Mountain was the designated rendezvous for the nine kings. In an ironic twist, the white tiger clan had been surprisingly forthcoming. They provided Qin Huai with everything from the names and paths of the nine kings to their final meeting spot. As long as the price was right, the information flowed freely.

And now, with six kings under his control, Qin Huai was amused to realize that the grand covert operation of the six royal clans was over before it truly began.

“To think that the Nine Supremes, considered by many to be an invincible force when combined, would fall apart so easily,” Qin Huai mused, then chuckled. “I owe a debt of gratitude to the white tiger clan’s leader.”

Gou Jie, too, was in high spirits. “In their quest to connect with their ancestors, they’ve paid a hefty price.” Having also successfully averted the impending threat to Qingzhou, he couldn’t help but rejoice.

At Mount Erniu, the scenery was breathtaking, with rolling hills and gentle breezes. Along its trails, villagers, excited and curious, trekked toward the Qingzhou border, pulling carts filled with their belongings.

Among them, a robust man wearing a bamboo hat stood out. His long green robe fluttered, drawing admiring glances from many young women. However, he soon parted ways with the throng and ascended the mountain alone.

With every step, he seemed to exude a divine presence, commanding respect and admiration from all.

“Wu Wang, your charismatic presence is hard to miss,” a voice echoed down the mountainside. The speaker was none other than the Fierce Tiger King. With a humble chuckle, Wu Wang replied, “You give me too much credit,” and in moments. using what seemed like an advanced technique. he closed the distance between them.

Upon the peak, eight of the kings had already assembled, their expressions neutral, revealing nothing of their inner thoughts. The Fierce Tiger King cast a glance over them and inquired if their journeys had been uneventful.

The kings, including Qi Shan, simply shook their heads, signaling no issues.

However, Wu Wang, with a cheeky grin, confessed, “I must admit my charisma caused a bit of a stir among the city’s women.” He then elaborated about his few days of indulgence, much to the Fierce Tiger King’s chagrin.

Out of everyone, the Fierce Tiger King found Wu Wang the most unpredictable, especially given his penchant for charming women. He silently questioned the decision to include such an individual in their ranks.

“Has everything been settled?” asked the Fierce Tiger King, his tone betraying his irritation.

Wu Wang, not pleased by Fierce Tiger King’s condescending tone, retorted, “Why not just destroy that minor city on our way? It’s no big deal. We can have our officials clean up later, blaming a natural disaster.”

The Fierce Tiger King seemed somewhat pacified by this. He glanced at the seven other kings, who remained silent, earning a nod of satisfaction from him. Their loyalty and steadfastness comforted him.

“Dark King,” he addressed one among them, “The clan leader mentioned the assassination plan for Qin Huai lies with you. Is it ready?”

The Dark King looked confused. “What?”

Seeing the Dark King’s surprised expression, the Fierce Tiger King hesitated, then laughed it off. “My mistake.”

But then, his demeanor changed abruptly. “He’s an imposter!” he exclaimed, pointing at the Dark King.

Without hesitation, a powerful, dark aura enveloped the Fierce Tiger King. All at once, the surroundings of Mount Erniu were dominated by the overwhelming power of eight distinct domains.

With lethal intent, the Fierce Tiger King lunged at Qin Huai. But to his horror, he felt a rush of cold air.

Bang!

Before he could fully process what was happening, the seven other kings turned on him. In a synchronized move, their hands pierced through his body. Blood poured out, cascading down the mountain in a grim waterfall.

“Why?!” gasped the Fierce Tiger King, disbelief evident in his eyes. “He’s the imposter.”

Qi Shan, coldly responded, “I knew, that’s why I attacked.”

The other kings remained nonchalant, offering no further explanations.

“You… You guys…”

Bang!

As Fierce Tiger King reeled from the betrayal, Wu Wang landed a final blow, sealing the Tiger King’s fate. “We’re from the Qingzhou Alliance,” declared Wu Wang with conviction.

The Dark King, or rather Qin Huai, watched, momentarily taken aback. However, he quickly composed himself, taking in the surprising turn of events with a hint of satisfaction..
