My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

It seems that Wei Xiao's threshold for laughter is much lower than mine.

"Now, please listen carefully to my important explanation—"

"Before that..."

Suddenly, Shi Zhifei spoke up, interrupting the Golden Emperor.

Then, he slowly turned his head to look in Yu Jun's direction.

"Rain Lord, please explain why there are so many Rain Strike members loitering around here. I've seen at least a dozen on my way here."

"This is clearly no longer a situation that a level 7 transcendent being can handle, right?"

Faced with Shi Zhifei's questioning, Yu Jun seemed to have no intention of responding, only looking at the table with his eyes half-lowered.

Instead, the Golden Emperor took over the conversation again, his tone laced with a polite laugh: "Lady Shi Zhifei, you have misunderstood. In fact, the Rain Martials didn't gather in Golden Silkworm City. This morning, two Rain Martials even left Golden Silkworm City. They were probably just passing by..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhifei blinked suspiciously.

It seems completely unbelievable that this explanation could be believed.

But before she could ask again, Yu Jun, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, asking in a cold tone:

"Didn't your Star Clock reverse time and space?"

"What, you haven't even reached such a short future?"

"..."

"..."

Shi Zhifei didn't immediately retort. She simply took a deep drag on her cigarette and then blew the smoke all the way towards Yu Jun.

Faced with such malicious provocation, Yu Jun slowly narrowed her eyes.

The atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly tense.

The Golden Emperor quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"Now, please allow me to continue my explanation—"

“A month ago, the Black Realm rioted, and a large number of Feathered Warriors from the Black Realm left the Northern Territory and spread to all parts of the world. Their behavior was extremely barbaric. They killed people and robbed goods indiscriminately. Our Starry Sky Merchant Guild’s shipments were also robbed several times.”

"If it were just a minor skirmish, that would be one thing, but just ten days ago, a very important shipment of ours was stolen, and all three Rank 7 guards responsible for escorting it were killed in action..."

"So we immediately joined forces with night patrols to seal off the entire territory. We must quickly eliminate all the Feathered Ones scattered within the royal city and then take back that forbidden object. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"So, what is it that is so precious that it is necessary to summon all ten kings?" This was the question asked by the little sword saint.

Simon, the Golden Emperor, remained silent for a moment.

Then, with an extremely heavy tone, he began to explain:

"That is, the forbidden item number 62—"

"A hero's belongings..."

Chapter 114: Weiss: Where's my sister-in-law? [6K]

"Contraindicated item number 62—"

"A hero's relics!!!"

At this moment, although the Golden Emperor's expression and words were very solemn, and his face was extremely serious, he seemed to be taking this very seriously, but the atmosphere in the conference room was unusually cold, and no one present cared at all.

Apart from the fact that Weiss had no idea what this forbidden item was all about.

It seems that the other Ten Kings, including the Little Sword Saint, clearly had indifferent expressions and were completely unable to empathize with the Golden Emperor's furious and impassioned emotions.

After a long silence, Shi Zhifei finally shook her head, somewhat speechless.

"How boring. I thought it was something earth-shattering, but it turns out it's just that the forbidden item that the hero once possessed was stolen by the Feathered Ones. Well then, let them use it. It doesn't matter who uses it. Is it really necessary to summon all ten kings?"

"Golden Emperor, not everyone can become a hero," the Undying, the leader of the Ten Kings, slowly spoke, his voice hoarse, clearly a disguise.

"That forbidden item is just a toy in the hands of ordinary people, especially for an unknown feathered warrior who has only just emerged from the underworld..."

Immortal's words were like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing the tense atmosphere created by the Golden Emperor.

A brief silence fell over the meeting room.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the Golden Emperor did not show any disappointment or embarrassment. He maintained a calm expression and surveyed the entire audience without changing his demeanor.

He then spoke again to explain:

"You are all right. This matter itself has nothing to do with any of you here today. In essence, only our Starry Sky Merchant Guild has suffered losses. The Night Patrol Headquarters only initiated this gathering because of the overall security situation around the Royal City. In other words, you are not here today to seek justice for the Starry Sky Merchant Guild, nor are you here to fulfill your duties on behalf of the Night Patrol."

"However, it is precisely because we knew in advance that you were not interested in the Hero's Relics that the Starry Sky Merchant Guild offered each of you a dozen drops of Tier 6 Dream Potion to make a purchase, isn't that right?"

"Otherwise, if it were any of the top 100 forbidden items, wouldn't everyone be overjoyed and flocking to it?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of at least half of the dozens of kings present visibly softened.

The Golden Emperor's words do make sense.

Ultimately, neither the hidden dangers of the Feathered Ones nor the relics of heroes have anything to do with them. The reason they came to this meeting was simply to get a free Tier 6 Dream Potion.

If it weren't a hero's relic, but any of the top 100 forbidden items, this cleanup operation would have been a complete disaster, with everyone rushing to grab it.

Whoever takes it will run away on the spot, and it will never actually reach the hands of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased slightly, the Golden Emperor continued to explain:

"Now, let me explain the specific rules for the bounty."

"From this moment forward, for every 7th-tier Black Realm Feathered Warrior you kill, you will receive one drop of a 6th-tier Dream Potion. If we ultimately succeed in retrieving the Hero's Relic, the Starry Sky Merchant Guild is willing to exchange it for another forbidden item ranked among the top 100..."

"Oh, by the way, only those from the Black Realm's Feathered Realm are allowed. Please, everyone, do not attack Lord Undying or Lord Wind God!"

[Wei Xiao: Hahahahahaha!]

The Golden Emperor casually made a small joke that had absolutely no sense of humor.

No one in the room laughed.

Both Weiss and the Undead sitting in the corner remained silent, not wanting to give him the slightest bit of a friendly look.

No, bro, do you think this is funny?

"However, how do you plan to find those Feathered Ones? Almost no one dares to use the kill mode anymore, right? You're not going to make us find them one by one ourselves, are you?" Shi Zhifei frowned and lit another cigarette.

"You can rest assured about that. The Night Patrol has its own methods. Just now, the people they sent arrived. However, because there are some details that need to be explained to you in advance, I asked them to wait outside the door for a moment."

"Please come in, gentlemen."

As the Golden Emperor finished speaking, the conference room door was slowly pushed open from the outside by two waiters.

Three familiar figures walked in from outside.

Leading the way was a young girl in a priestess's robes with white hair styled in a bun. Her pupils were pure white, without irises, and she walked with an air of indifference, clearly one of the eight personal guards of the Night Patrol!

Two guards followed on either side of her.

Standing on the left is a white-haired man in a pure white suit, and on the right is a blonde woman in a black military uniform.

Snow Knight, Adele!!!

It seems like I suddenly have so many more acquaintances...

Weiss easily held his nerve.

Cassandra waved gently at Adele, who nodded slightly in response.

The moment Shi no Fei saw Miss Xing walk in, her expression instantly turned as if she were constipated. She clicked her tongue and subconsciously wanted to turn her head to spit, but then she found Weiss sitting right next to her, so she held back and gave up.

Not only Shi Zhifei, but even the Immortal narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems they are considering the pros and cons of directly killing the Astrologer here.

It was obvious that the Snow Knight and Adele had come along to protect Miss Star's safety.

Otherwise, if she had come here alone, she would have been more worthy of being killed than all the Black Realm Feathered Ones. Even if the Night Patrol's overall combat strength was strong, it would be useless if they couldn't find her.

Miss Xing was completely oblivious to the unfriendly stares directed at her. She swaggered to the round table, pulled out an empty chair, plopped down, crossed her legs, and slapped the table with an air of utter disdain: "Deal the cards. Uh... no, it's like this. I'll be the one to find the coordinates of those Feathered Ones in this operation."

"My ability activates once every night at midnight, flashing the location of all Black Realm Feathered Ones within the entire royal city to everyone present for about 10 minutes."

"During these 10 minutes, you are free to kill as many people as you like."

"However, please note that in order to increase the range of my abilities, I can only see the location information when sending coordinates, and cannot simultaneously display the opponent's specific cultivation level. So, if there is even a 1% chance of encountering a Tier 6 Feather King during the clearing process, please run away immediately, or kneel down and beg for mercy on the spot~~~"

Upon hearing this, several murderous gazes simultaneously swept towards Miss Xing's direction.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become tense again, the Golden Emperor quickly coughed twice to forcibly draw everyone's attention back to him, and then added at a faster pace:

"After detailed discussions with the night patrol, we have decided that everyone here will be divided into pairs and sent to designated areas in the four cardinal directions of the royal city to conduct targeted elimination operations..."

"There are three reasons for this arrangement. First, it covers the distribution range of all Feathered Ones with the highest efficiency. Second, two people in a group can look out for each other and ensure that no one is left to fight alone. Finally, the sixth-tier Dream Potion is also distributed based on the number of teams, so there is no need to fight for kills. If one person kills, the entire group is counted."

"Furthermore, once the operation officially begins, please do not waste time by engaging in cross-regional operations. Just finish the battle quickly within your own jurisdiction. Also, do not hold back or play around with the enemy. Try to resolve everything quietly before more Feathered Warriors notice anything amiss."

"Finally, there's one crucial piece of information I need to share. According to the post-battle investigation at the scene, the person who stole the hero's relics is a Rank 7 Winged Warrior. This individual is suspected of wielding a massive blade, is over two meters tall, and was capable of instantly killing three Rank 7 guards from the Starry Sky Merchant Guild. Their strength should not be underestimated. To prevent them from fleeing when things get tough, please refrain from engaging in one-on-one combat when you encounter them. Play it safe; a 2v1 situation is, of course, ideally..."

"Alright, that's all I wanted to say. Now you can start forming teams freely."

The joint commentary by Miss Xing and Emperor Huang Jin has now come to an end.

Almost simultaneously, everyone present began scanning each other, observing who among them would be a suitable teammate.

Since Tier 6 Dream Potions are distributed based on the number of people in a team, there's no need to make Jiahao's statement about solo actions. Even if you don't act together, each person can handle half of the area, which can greatly improve the clearing efficiency.

Weiss and Cassandra exchanged glances in perfect unison.

Without a doubt, if the two of them team up, they won't need to be wary of each other at all; they are absolutely the most suitable.

However, Cassandra had barely stood up when she was spotted by the white dragon beside her, who hadn't uttered a sound the entire time.

The dragon maiden, who ranked third among the Ten Kings, seemed to have chosen the nearest seat. As her bulky white coat, which was as thick as a bomb suit, suddenly began to shrink at a visible rate, the fabric and filling deflated rapidly as if leaking air.

The next second, a huge and plump white dragon tail fell out from under the coat with a whoosh. The scales shimmered with a cold, ceramic-like luster in the sunlight. The muscles of the entire tail were full and smooth, exuding an extremely domineering sense of power.

The dragon's tail drew a white arc in the air, precisely wrapping around Cassandra's waist, binding her tightly in just one loop.

"Huh?"

Cassandra looked down at the white dragon tail wrapped around her waist and let out a soft exclamation.

More than panic, I felt curiosity.

The next second, a piercing sonic boom exploded in the conference room.

The white dragon and the little swordsman she had wrapped in her tail transformed into a white afterimage and shot straight into the sky, even blowing a large section of the dome ceiling of the Starry Sky Merchant Guild headquarters away with this extremely domineering explosion.

"..."

"..."

"No, where's my sister-in-law?"

Weiss stared in disbelief at the two figures that disappeared into the sky.

Why is there a talent-grabbing segment?

Judging from Bai Long's incredible speed, whoever was sitting next to her at the time would probably have been forcibly taken away as a mere accessory without a word.

What a pity, all that precious time alone on our date was ruined like this...

A moment later, the Undying, the leader of the Ten Kings, slowly stood up.

Yu Jun said nothing, and almost at the same time stood up with him, and picked up the super giant umbrella that was as big as a battering ram.

"Since they went east, we'll go west..."

After the immortal left behind a sentence.

The two walked out together in perfect unison.

Clearly, the two already knew each other.

They're all incredibly old people who've lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, so it's not surprising that they have some private connections.

For a moment, only four of the Ten Kings remained in the room: the Golden Emperor, the Time Consort, the Wind God Vis, and Twilight, who had been staring blankly with his sword the whole time.

Shi Zhifei glanced at Bo Mu with great disdain, then at the Golden Emperor, her expression becoming even more visibly disgusted.

After much deliberation, it seemed that only Weiss, who was sitting next to her, was more to her liking.

Just then, while observing his remaining teammates, Weiss also glanced at Lady of Time.
