In the office, Director Lin was watching the live broadcast, seeing Willow God defeat Thunder Tiger, and was just feeling pleased.

Suddenly, hearing Willow God's voice, Director Lin's expression changed dramatically.

"Willow God, Willow God, are you still there? Can you hear me?"

"Willow God? Is there anything the Great Qin Empire can help with?"

After waiting for a full ten minutes, Director Lin called out many times but still received no response from Willow God.

Soon after, Director Lin's expression grew heavy.

It seems that banishing Thunder Tiger wasn't without cost for Willow God.

According to Willow God, she has fallen into a deep sleep due to excessive exhaustion, implying that she relies on sleep to recover.

Thus, if the Great Qin Empire wishes to seek her power in the future, it might be difficult.

Although Willow God mentioned she'd awaken in times of life and death, the Great Qin Empire still relies on Willow God's protection in other areas.

If Black Demon Tiger continues to encroach on the Great Qin Empire as before, causing no life-threatening crises, the Great Qin Empire would be unable to cope.

These are minor issues; the most deadly concern is the escape of Thunder Tiger.

Though Thunder Tiger was no match for Willow God, he remains immensely strong and terrifying. If he harbors a grudge and seeks revenge, the consequences...

Thinking of this, Director Lin's face grew increasingly grim, and after a long while, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"When will the Great Qin Empire regain its former status and no longer be oppressed by fierce beasts, facing extinction and destruction?"

...

The earth-shattering battle between Thunder Tiger and Willow God naturally quickly trended in the Great Qin Empire.

Related videos, continuously edited, went viral on the internet. The people of the Great Qin Empire, after seeing Willow God drive away Thunder Tiger, were all incredibly excited, discussing fervently online.

[Haha, Willow God is invincible, knocked Thunder Tiger rolling on the ground. I wonder how Thunder Tiger can still be arrogant in the future! I bet his legs shake upon seeing Willow God.]

[Great, our Great Qin Empire is entirely safe now. Even Thunder Tiger was defeated, and with Willow God's protection, no fierce beast would dare to attack our Great Qin Empire again!]

[Long live Willow God, invincible Willow God! I'll worship Willow God's shrine at home every day to show my respect!]

[I originally thought Thunder Tiger was formidable, but coming to the Imperial Capital was nothing before Willow God!]

[Thunder Tiger, just so-so...]

"Hmph, what nonsense! Frogs in a well!"

Fang Yuan saw these comments and snorted with disdain.

His big brother had Willow God on the retreat before. Willow God must have used some unconventional means, causing a surge in her cultivation to defeat his big brother, which was totally unfair.

In Fang Yuan's opinion, Willow God is just like that guy Lao San, relying on external forces, not gentlemanly!

"What Willow God, compared to Big Brother?"

On the ground, the Vajra Giant Ape, observing the communicator while walking, smirked.

In his mind, Big Brother's strength is undisputedly the first, his own big brother second, and himself third.

Tiger King Ridge.

Jiang Che, with Nangong Luo, descended towards Peach Grove Valley.

"These people are really annoying, talking about Thunder Tiger not being as good as Willow God, Willow God being invincible. If Willow God hadn't forcibly drawn upon the power of Great Qin Empire's earth veins, would she be a match for Big Brother?!"

Just as she got off the warship, holding the communicator, Nangong Luo spoke in great anger.

She admitted Willow God was strong, but clearly, her actual combat strength was no match for Big Brother!

Beside her, Jiang Che, watching Nangong Luo being upset on his behalf, felt helpless and thought for a moment, advising, "Third Sister, what's there to see in these human comments? They don't know Willow God forcibly drew on the power of the earth veins to boost strength, so don't let it bother you!"

Willow God guards the Great Qin Empire, so it's natural for the people to lean towards their guardian. Besides, he did lose the fight, so what they said isn't wrong.

No matter Willow God's real combat capacity, being able to harness the power of the earth veins is her skill.

However, this failed operation also awakened Jiang Che's awareness. He had underestimated the people of the world!

Since a Willow God has emerged, is there a possibility of a second or third appearing on the land of the Great Qin Empire?

"Got it, Big Brother! In my opinion, it was all to blame on Lao Er this time. If he hadn't failed to hold Willow God, you wouldn't have been injured!"

Nangong Luo just nodded, then seeing the bloodstain at the corner of Jiang Che's mouth, started blaming Fang Yuan again.

Nangong Luo thought Jiang Che's goal in heading for the Imperial Capital was to destroy Willow God's true form, not knowing Jiang Che was actually aiming to bind Willow God.

"Alright, alright. Lao Er probably did his best too, after all, Willow God's strength is evident, and holding her for a while was already decent!"

Jiang Che said with a smile.

Though he thought Lao Er was useless, he should have tried his best.

"Big Brother, how are your injuries?"

Recalling how Jiang Che had just spat blood, Nangong Luo hurriedly asked out of concern.

Previously, the power displayed by Willow God, aided by the earth veins, was truly terrifying. Her own big brother's injuries shouldn't be taken lightly.

"No vital damage, but to recover, I'll probably need to retreat for a while. I'll leave this vast Tiger King Ridge to you, Third Sister."

Jiang Che felt his internal injuries and said with a forced smile.

The Willow Whip wielded by Willow God was indeed harsh; Jiang Che's body suffered substantial damage, with many meridians broken.

"Then, Big Brother, you should quickly go into retreat! I'll handle Tiger King Ridge, don't worry!"

Hearing this, Nangong Luo felt a bit relieved but still hurriedly urged Jiang Che to retreat soon.

"Alright, if anything major happens, Third Sister, summon me forcibly awake!"

Jiang Che nodded, instructing Nangong Luo.

"Got it, Big Brother, I will!"

Later, under Nangong Luo's watch, Jiang Che slowly stepped into the Tai Chi Cave.

Seeing her big brother going to heal, Nangong Luo finally felt at ease. Next, she slowly entered the Cyan Stone Pool, closed her eyes, and continued today's cultivation.

Time slowly passed, and after the battle between Jiang Che and Willow God, the Great Qin Empire fell into a brief period of peace.

The most troublesome Black Demon Tiger, injured, was holed up in its lair, while the Great Qin Empire's greatest threat, Thunder Tiger, was defeated by Willow God.

It can be said that this was the most peaceful period for the people of the Great Qin Empire.

On this day, a well-wisher posted the compiled top 100 rankings of the Great Qin Empire online.

Not long after, it stirred up a buzz, greatly interesting the people of the Great Qin Empire.

The standout on the top 100 rankings was an unusual tie for first place.

Thunder Tiger and Willow God!

Jiang Che and Willow God tied for the first place!
