"Xiaohan, don't be impulsive yet."

The leading woman stopped Lu Xiaohan: "The more eager the people from Evolution Divine Teachings act, the less confident they are."

"Now, we hold two trump cards, it's certain we'll prevail, so why not meet them."

"Shouldn't we just cast them aside?" Lu Xiaohan couldn't understand the elder sister's intentions. With the Supreme Court watching like a tiger from the side and the Ninth District providing a lower-cost supply channel, why bother getting too entangled with Evolution Divine Teachings.

Big sister Shen Chan explained, "In the short term, we still can't cast them aside."

"No matter how good Perfect Level beast meat is, it can't quickly create Transcendents with power comparable to those Non-human Aliens from Evolution Divine Teachings. We lack resources, but we're also lacking top-tier Transcendents in the Thirteenth District."

"Don't forget, twenty years ago, the Ninth District almost faced destruction."

"If we abandon the Non-human Aliens from Evolution Divine Teachings, even counting those Apostle Level from noble clans, they still wouldn't match the Ninth District of old."

"Moreover, would those cowardly noble families really fight for the Thirteenth District?"

Lu Xiaohan pondered and said, "Why not move everyone to the Ninth District; they are on such a strong rise. We're all human, after all, which should be more reliable than these Non-human Aliens."

Nearby, second sister Wei Ning softly said, "It's not that simple."

"Given the current strength of the Ninth District, moving there would mean most people would only make it as members of the Outer City. If Fierce Beasts invade, they'd be the first hit."

"Unless the Ninth District's economy booms, bridging the Inner and Outer City, with a surge in the number of Transcendents."

"Alright, you two handle it. Call me when there's a fight." Hearing the complexity, Lu Xiaohan felt an inexplicable irritability, turned, and walked into the inner chamber.

Wei Ning shook her head, "Xiaohan is still too hasty."

Shen Chan sighed, "It's not her fault; for years we've been walking a tightrope with different forces, constantly on edge. I feel like I can barely hold it together."

Years ago.

The three sisters were promoted to Overlord Level and went to the Holy City to develop but made no progress. Upon returning to the Thirteenth District, they accidentally entered the Otherworld, obtaining three Ancient Weapons in a relic, refined by the residual Energy of Ancient Weapons.

Thus, their Realm soared, they ascended to Apostle Level, and were pushed to lead as city lords of the Thirteenth District.

Ultimately, their foundation was too weak, barely maintaining the status quo in the Thirteenth District by maneuvering through negotiations and an under-the-table agreement with Evolution Divine Teachings.

Speaking of which.

They often cursed Pei Jing, as they couldn't obtain what he abandoned as worthless. He could betray the Holy Sanctuary Clan so easily, which irked them.

After talking for a while, they finally brought in the long-waiting Evolution Divine Teachings contact person.

The person wore a black cloak and, upon entering, questioned irritably, "Is this how you two city lords treat old friends?"

Shen Chan gave him a slight glance, calmly saying, "This is always the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion; you won't be the first or the last. Just ask the previous contacts, if you dare."

She almost forgot his name, maybe Ji Meng or something.

Too lazy to remember, for another contact would soon replace him anyway.

Upon hearing this.

Ji Meng's expression froze, reading between the lines.

Even if your Apostle Level strong men from Evolution Divine Teachings are many, who knows when they'll step into a Mature Body, used as human bombs.

"Hmph, although our Evolution Divine Teachings updates swiftly, we always remain!" Ji Meng still reminded, getting straight to the point: "Our higher-ups are very dissatisfied with the price quoted this morning, hoping you would reconsider."

"These years, who has been secretly aiding you?"

"Remember, countless forces have come and gone on this land, only our Evolution Divine Teachings remains steadfast."

Playing the sympathy card?

Mixing kindness and force?

Shen Chan couldn't help but scoff internally.

Come on, we are at most collaborators, if that's your play, you probably have no cards left.

She pushed a secret report on the table over.

???

Ji Meng looked puzzled, picked up the report, and his face turned pale upon reading it.

Is the Supreme Court's purge coming again?

Fear shone in his eyes as he read through the contents again, word by word.

After a long pause.

He composed himself, changing his tone: "Of course, we also won't forget the City Lord's Mansion's cover-up for the Evolution Divine Teachings. I hope the City Lord's Mansion can provide the right answer soon; the Supreme Court's forces dare not linger long in this land."

With that, he hurriedly left.

This matter must be reported to the High Priest as soon as possible; the stronghold may need to enter a silent phase.

...

In the Wilderness.

A group of elegant Transcendents strolled leisurely, their powerful aura unrestrained, causing nearby Fierce Beasts to scatter instantly.

In the center, the boy, beneath his flowing white hair, possessed a face almost demonically beautiful.

He appeared indifferent, with an aloof manner treating all beings as trivial grass, deterring others from approaching easily.

His companion, seemingly accustomed to his demeanor, boldly asked, "Zuo Qing, we haven't even finished the purge of the Evolution Divine Teachings in the Thirty-second District. Why are we suddenly heading to the Thirteenth District? I don't recall the Thirteenth District being on the purge list."

Zuo Qing's steps never faltered, each step measured meticulously, more precise than a machine.

He replied sparingly, "Orders from above."

"I know it's orders from above, but I'm asking why, for what reason."

"Evolution Divine Teachings."

???

As if I didn't know that this purge targets Evolution Divine Teachings?

Oh well.

I must be out of my mind to ask this word-economical guy.

Shi Yongjian couldn't help but hold his forehead, then turned to a nearby girl and asked, "Jia Ran, you were with Zuo Qing when receiving the orders. I'm curious, what exactly are the instructions?"

The girl, Jia Ran, smiled gently: "It's nothing secretive. The orders from above mentioned the possible traces of the Evolution Divine Teaching Conservative Faction in the Thirteenth District, urging us to investigate promptly."

"The Evolution Divine Teaching Conservative Faction..."

"Haven't they been silent for over a century? Why would they suddenly appear?"

Chi Jiaran replied, "Perhaps that's precisely why we're sent to uncover what's going on."

"But we are conducting the Evolution Divine Teachings purge for self-growth. Investigating secrets seems more like something the Hidden Guard should handle." Shi Yongjian was puzzled and also realized another issue: "By the way, the Conservative Faction of Evolution Divine Teachings was once a respected entity."

"If we truly encounter them, how should we deal with it? What's the approach from above?"

"Should we, like with those Non-human Aliens in the Thirty-second District, just kill them all?"

Chi Jiaran shook her head.

"The higher-ups didn't give explicit instructions, perhaps this is also an exercise for us."

"When the time comes, act as the situation warrants."
