"Haha, I was just joking, don't mind me."

As the meeting fell silent, the purple-haired young man with glasses cheerfully spoke up, saying that his previous comment was merely a joke.

Before anyone else could speak to ease the situation, Jiang Hou coldly remarked, "Just based on that comment, even with the conscription agreement in place, if you dare step out of the Western Continent, I will kill you."

In the past few days, through the Heaven's Punishment Intelligence Network, Jiang Hou learned that this purple-haired young man named Ke Min had placed a bounty on him in Abudan.

And he offered the 'astronomical price' of two drops of Immortal Divine Blood, attracting the Poisonous Dragon Avali, and the ambush by the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf was also his doing.

However, this person had always hidden in the shadows, retreating to the Western Continent Headquarters after Jiang Hou killed the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf.

Thus, Jiang Hou could do nothing about him for the time being, and later, due to the ruins' anomaly, the three major Transcendent powers united human strength to sign the conscription agreement, similar to an alliance.

Under these circumstances, Jiang Hou had to temporarily put this matter aside.

But unexpectedly, this guy voluntarily delivered evidence against himself. Just based on this comment, even if Jiang Hou later killed the high-levels of the Demon Dragon Divine Hall, there would be nothing to say.

However, the apparent animosity between the two sides wasn't significant enough for Jiang Hou to mention going after him.

Furthermore, with the foundation of the Demon Dragon Divine Hall, their Triple Epoch Talent explosion was comparable to the early-tier Eight's power, which still didn't seem to allow for a comprehensive crush.

Amid the tension between the two, the other three Tier Seven Dragon Generals of the Demon Dragon Divine Hall just watched coldly, with no intention of intervening.

At this point, Divine Palace Feiyue's gaze also turned icy, saying, "If you're busy, you can let me know; I'm quite interested in the heads of those tumors from the Purple Dragon Hall."

"This group of inhumane trash shouldn't have existed long ago; who knows how many people have died at their hands over the years."

As she said this, the murderous intent emanating from Divine Palace Feiyue nearly overflowed from the screen.

Faced with the killing intent of Jiang Hou and Divine Palace Feiyue, Ke Min's expression showed no fear. He cheerfully said, "Feel free to come and take my head anytime."

"Of course, that's provided you have the strength."

Saying this, a slight smile played on the corners of Ke Min's mouth.

Witnessing this, the prime ministers of Dongqin and Bauhinia, along with the rotating member of the Western Continent Alliance Council, wore helpless expressions. The meeting hadn't even started, and the top powerhouses present almost came to blows.

"Ahem! Everyone, let's get to the main topic." Finally, the prime minister of Dongqin cleared his throat, starting to chair the meeting.

Following this, under the cold gaze of Jiang Hou and others, the meeting proceeded smoothly, with a primary focus on how the three parties should coordinate in defending the real world.

When faced with threats that local forces couldn't resist, whether from evil god invasions or other such calamities, how should assistance be provided, and how should regions of responsibility be divided.

Additionally, in the event of invasions that Heaven's Punishment, the Ancient God Research Institute, or the Demon Dragon Divine Hall couldn't resist, the other two parties were expected to offer support.

Of course, while that's how it was stated, the attitudes of the Saint-level powerhouses from the three parties suggested that this support might merely be a superficial agreement.

In reality, only Heaven's Punishment and the Ancient God Research Institute, with their better relations, might truly assist each other.

The meeting lasted about an hour and a half, and once the three prime ministers and council members had finished speaking, Jiang Hou and Divine Palace Feiyue bid farewell and disconnected from the video meeting.

By this time, it was already lunchtime, but Jiang Hou didn't plan to eat at the base.

"Li Tongxue, there's something I need you to keep an eye on for me..."

As he spoke, Jiang Hou gave Li Mengwu the contact information for the Martial Dao 'research group', then waved goodbye and left, taking out his phone as he entered the elevator.

"Zong Zheng, are you still at the school?"

"I am. What's up, Jiang Hou?"

"I need to discuss something with you. Wait for me at the school gate; let's have lunch together."

"Alright."

Meanwhile, as Jiang Hou headed to the school to meet Zong Zheng Nan Mo for lunch and to discuss some matters, countless Transcendents and monsters were engaged in a fierce battle deep within the ruins of the Dark Continent.

Boom!

Under the black and white sword light that split the heavens and earth, the massive body of a mountain-sized beast shattered, transforming into countless lifeless rocks that exploded outwards.

In the chaotic sky filled with turbulent energy, Jiang Ruochan, wearing the Dark Crown, stood with her sword, a kilometer-wide black and white light wheel slowly rotating behind her, dividing the world into realms of light and darkness.

However, at that moment, the ground below collapsed, forming a massive hole.

From the depths of this abyssal void erupted a terrifying aura. Amid the churning black forces, a throne made entirely of black bones rose up.

Sitting on the throne was a hundred-meter-tall skeletal Monarch wearing a crown.

Boom!

Instantly, the pressure belonging to a Tier Nine Demigod spread out, and the substantial black pressure exuded a repulsive aura of overwhelming life aversion.

Psh! Psh!

A dozen kilometers away, two Tier Six Transcendents hadn't even reacted before their bodies were swept by the black force, immediately disintegrating and growing tendrils.

"Be careful, stay far away."

"Demigod Tier ancient fierce beast, the pollution on their bodies is as intense as rules themselves. Never approach their power's radiation range."

Witnessing this scene, the expressions of the high-tier Transcendents on distant battlefields changed drastically, retreating urgently.

Even those Tier Seven Saint-level powerhouses were pushed back, suppressing the monsters, daring not to remain in the soon-to-explode Demigod Tier battlefield zone.

On the bone throne, the skeletal Monarch slightly raised its head, staring at Jiang Ruochan standing in the world of light and darkness, its eyes filled with immense hatred and ferocity.

"Damn it, all must die!"

The insane, violent roar echoed across the world, the endless dark pollution forces exploding from the skeletal Monarch as the center, colliding with the world of light and darkness.

Boom!

In an instant, the clash of two worlds resounded, shaking the very heavens and earth.

In the chaotic torrent of violent impacts, a bone claw thousands of meters wide emerged from the depths of darkness, twisting space and radiating with the power to destroy heaven and earth.

"Merely an Early-tier Nine Dark Monarch!" Jiang Ruochan's long hair danced wildly behind her as she gripped the void with her left hand.

Boom!

The Light and Dark Divine Wheel stood behind Jiang Ruochan, quaking as a world-ending wheel separating heaven and earth shot into the sky. As it rotated, it twisted the heavens, twisted the world.

Boom! Under the twisted black and white light in the sky, the all-encompassing bone claw shattered instantly, the terrifying twisting force even enveloping the dark 'world' that spanned over ten kilometers, tearing it apart, exposing the skeletal Monarch on the throne.

In an instant, she tore apart the world domain of this Demigod Tier fierce beast, and the black and white Divine Sword in Jiang Ruochan's hand erupted with brilliance, slashing down.

Boom! The infinitely expanding black and white light beam shot through the heavens, transformed into a world-ending light cannon tens of kilometers thick, shattering the void, annihilating everything, and with indescribable terrifying force, engulfed the skeletal Monarch. Ultimately, a massive black and white cross exploded open.

Dozens of kilometers away, in the midst of fighting a Tier Eight Peak fierce beast, Li Jie couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, since stepping into the Demigod Realm, her power grows more exaggerated each day."
