Yue Zhihe poured tea with steady hands, though her voice carried warning. "Senior, this city has seven rulers hiding in the shadows. They jointly govern this territory—each one a True God."
Yun Lintian listened calmly as she explained. These seven were reportedly the strongest True Gods in the Central Region, an alliance that had dominated for centuries.
He set his cup down with a soft clink.
"You mean the seven turtles over there?" His gaze flicked toward the city center where the hidden figures lurked.
The moment his words left his mouth, the seven rulers shuddered violently. Their concealment formations trembled as if struck by lightning.
"Yes." Yue Zhihe said gently. "I know you are powerful, but this is their territory, after all."
Yun Lintian took a leisurely sip. "Let them try. Maybe they'll come soon enough."
"Hahaha!"
