On the peak of the Divine Mountain of the Ancient God Tribe, within the grand and immense bronze ancient hall, only Gu Qiankun and the Grand Shaman of the Ancient God Tribe, along with a few other figures, were present. The other powerful individuals had long since been dispatched in all directions, searching for Li Xiaotian's whereabouts.
Originally, with the abilities of the Grand Shaman of the Ancient God Tribe, he could have deduced Li Xiaotian's location based on some clues. However, for the past few days, he had been constantly scrutinizing the heavenly secrets, but he could not find any trace of Li Xiaotian.
The hall was silent. Gu Qiankun had summoned the various overlord powers of Manzhou with great fanfare. They had expected that killing Li Xiaotian would not take much time. Who would have thought that after half a month, they still hadn't found even a shadow of Li Xiaotian?
"Could it be that Li Xiaotian has already left Manzhou?"
Gu Qiankun, on his throne, furrowed his brows, speaking as if to himself, or perhaps to the others in the hall.
"No! Divine Lord Gu, you don't understand Li Xiaotian. Given Li Xiaotian's temperament, since he vowed to kill the overlords of your Ancient God Tribe, he will surely do so. He won't leave."
The one speaking was the Fire Boy. Before confirming that Li Xiaotian was not dead, he would not leave Manzhou.
"But if he is in Manzhou, he would not escape my deductions. Unless he possesses a treasure that shields heavenly secrets, otherwise, I wouldn't be unable to find him."
The Grand Shaman of the Ancient God Tribe spoke with a frown. He knew that with his ability, as long as he wished, he could find anyone within Manzhou, even kill them from afar.
Yet now, Li Xiaotian seemed to have vanished, with no movement whatsoever for half a month.
"Hmph, perhaps he's scared and has really left Manzhou. After all, he couldn't even withstand one punch from me that day."
Gu Qiankun snorted coldly, a hint of disdain and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
Not being able to kill Li Xiaotian left him feeling extremely displeased.
The Ancient God Tribe had never been so provoked and yet had someone escape unharmed.
"But even if he has fled, I have a way to force him out!"
Gu Qiankun said with a cold voice, a killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Everyone looked at Gu Qiankun, a hint of curiosity in their eyes.
"Launch a war! Invade Yanzhou and destroy the Great Qin that Li Xiaotian supported. Then, I don't believe he won't show himself!"
Gu Qiankun said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing fiercely.
"Divine Lord Gu, launching a war for a single Li Xiaotian is making a mountain out of a molehill!"
The Fire Boy was startled by this, his face turning somewhat unsightly as he spoke with narrowed eyes.
Although he also wanted to kill Li Xiaotian, he did not want the result of a war breaking out between Manzhou and Yanzhou just to kill Li Xiaotian.
"Launching a war is a good idea, but with Heavenly grade experts not making a move, even if Manzhou occupies Yanzhou, when Yanzhou's Heavenly grade experts revive, we won't be able to hold it."
The Grand Shaman spoke unhurriedly, completely disregarding what the Fire Boy said. In his opinion, with Manzhou's strength, occupying Yanzhou was entirely possible.
"Grand Shaman! Are you also confused? Are you really going to discuss this matter in front of me? Do you truly think Yanzhou is easy to bully?"
The Fire Boy suddenly looked at the Grand Shaman, his face turning grim. These two discussing the invasion of Manzhou right in front of him clearly showed they didn't regard him as important.
The Grand Shaman glanced at the Fire Boy, not responding to him. Instead, he continued to look at Gu Qiankun. If the latter had already decided on war, then the Fire Boy, in his eyes, was nothing; he couldn't even leave this hall.
Boom!
The Fire Boy was instantly enraged by this. A terrifying aura erupted from him, flames engulfing his body. In an instant, the temperature of the hall rapidly increased.
As for Yan Song, who was behind the Fire Boy, his face had long since turned pale with fear. He regretted following the Fire Boy to Manzhou.
If Manzhou were to truly go to war with Yanzhou, they would be the first to die.
"Divine Lord Gu, Grand Shaman, what do you two mean? I kindly came to help you hunt Li Xiaotian, only for you to want to invade my Yanzhou? Do you really think I'm made of paper?"
The Fire Boy shouted, his tone filled with anger.
Although he was a late-stage overlord, he had no chance of winning against two peak overlords. However, this did not mean he would ignore such a matter.
It should be noted that setting aside Li Xiaotian, the Fire Boy was himself a Yanzhou native. During the ancient war between Manzhou and the three states, he had also killed many people from Manzhou.
For Yanzhou, the Fire Boy could not be described as simply good or bad. This included those who were enemies with Li Xiaotian.
No matter how much they hated Li Xiaotian, ultimately, this was an internal conflict within Yanzhou. But to tolerate Manzhou's invasion in order to kill Li Xiaotian was something that no one present would allow.
"Heh heh, Fire Boy, please calm your anger. This is just my thought. War between two states is not something I can launch on a whim. Although I don't care about invading your Yanzhou, as you said, it would be making a mountain out of a molehill. If my Manzhou were to launch a war, it would be like in ancient times, invading all three states simultaneously, not just one Yanzhou!"
Gu Qiankun said with a smile, comforting the Fire Boy, but his words made the Fire Boy feel very uncomfortable.
To put it plainly, Gu Qiankun didn't take him seriously at all. One Yanzhou was not their enemy; the three states were!
"When the heavens and earth are fully perfected, the ancient war should have a conclusion!"
Gu Qiankun added unhurriedly, essentially telling the Fire Boy directly that war would indeed happen, just not now.
"Hmph! Divine Lord Gu, never underestimate your opponent! You lost in ancient times, and it will be the same in the future!"
The Fire Boy coldly snorted, his anger only increasing. After all, given his temper, if his strength were sufficient, he would have unhesitatingly attacked based on Gu Qiankun's previous words.
Unfortunately, he knew he was no match for the two of them, so he could only swallow his anger.
"Heh heh!"
Gu Qiankun chuckled, as if mocking or disdainful, too lazy to respond to the Fire Boy.
"If Li Xiaotian is still not found, I can return to Yanzhou to search for his traces."
The Fire Boy said with a dark expression. Gu Qiankun's attitude gave him a sense of urgency. If the latter truly decided to launch a war, he had to return to Yanzhou to report it.
As the Grand Shaman had said earlier, with Heavenly grade experts not making a move, Manzhou's strength was sufficient to invade Yanzhou.
Although this possibility was very small, Yanzhou had to be prepared!
"Since the Fire Boy wishes to leave, that is acceptable. However, this old man has suddenly thought of something."
It was the Grand Shaman of the Ancient God Tribe who spoke. He slightly furrowed his brow, then continued.
"If Li Xiaotian does not possess a treasure that shields heavenly secrets, and he has not left, then how has he evaded my deductions?"
Both of them looked at the Grand Shaman. Gu Qiankun, in particular, his eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something.
"Unless Li Xiaotian is hiding in a place that can shield heavenly secrets, only then can I not deduce his whereabouts."
The Grand Shaman said, his gaze meeting Gu Qiankun's.
"The War Domain!"
Gu Qiankun spoke, his eyes narrowed.
In all of Manzhou, the most obvious place that fit this condition was the War Domain!
"Swish!"
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly flew into the palace, and Gu Qiankun grabbed it with one hand.
A moment later, Gu Qiankun's eyes suddenly shot out brilliant light, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
