Had anyone else uttered such cowardice in Leanu<unk>s presence, they would have faced his wrath.

observing you whose heightened emotions, Leen, who deafly shifted the topic indeed.

Brother Yu, you're astute.

What do you believe will be the outcome if Yaoo and the others conspire to lead the clan? O entrusting our clan to these old fools who only yield will lead us to ruin.

They may be esteemed elders, but it seems they have forgotten what species they belong to.

You who scoffed disdainfully, clearly unimpressed by the other five elders consiliatory tactics.

Your words ring true.

Our clan has been fragmented for too long.

We require a new leader.

Leanu remarked thoughtfully after sipping his fish soup.

Although you who was hot-tempered, he was not foolish.

And he discerned the deeper meaning in Lean whose words.

I refuse to submit to the half beasts.

How does that differ from bowing to the halfbeast empire? But she is the sole bloodline of the queen, the embodiment of our clan's essence, who has contributed to our progress thus far.

She is the queen's only offspring and the last of the royal line.

Do you intend to betray the queen? Suddenly, Leanhu rose, exuding an air of regal authority, his gaze icy as it bore down on Yu.

This Yu found himself momentarily speechless.

While he harbored disdain for the half beasts, his loyalty to the White Tiger Queen was unwavering.

In that instant, Leen, whose words sewed seeds of doubt within him, leaving him ins snared in a dilemma.

for the other elders had not expressed such sentiments before.

Do you not wish to alter the current state of affairs? What can we do with just ourselves? The infernal tiger immediately retorted.

For while it yearned to resist, their power was exceedingly feeble, not to mention opposing the Orc Empire.

Even within their own clan, countless divergent voices existed.

Applause suddenly erupted.

Well said.

A melodious female voice unexpectedly resonated within the room.

Instantly startling both the infernal tiger and the hell tiger.

Who is it? The two tigers swiftly turned their heads only to find Bayou lounging on the sofa, legs crossed, tilting her head as she gazed at the two felines.

Beside her, the tiger guards stood in bewilderment staring at Bayou.

My lord, did you not notice the two Imperial level beings present? Why did you dismiss your invisibility? Chapter 382.

Persuasion.

in the heart of the Tiger Guard was filled with trepidation, for they found themselves in the enemy's stronghold, and revealing their presence so brazenly was undeniably perilous.

On the opposite side stood the flame tiger, who regarded the Tiger Guard with a hint of confusion, recognizing it as the very ally it had assisted in fleeing.

It was unexpected for them to return so swiftly, accompanied by a human.

Were they reinforcements? But was this not a reckless act? The flame tiger furrowed its brow, contemplating how to pacify the irrassible prison tiger and avert the impending conflict.

However, the prison tiger, upon laying eyes on by you, charged forward without uttering a single word.

Be careful, my lord.

The flame tiger, out of goodwill, warned by you, fully aware that she had come to rescuing Shei.

Her silent approach indicated that she was no ordinary foe.

As the prison tiger advanced menacingly towards Bayou, she swiftly set her right leg down and using it as a pivot, executed a stunning spinning kick that sent the prison tiger reeling back several meters.

The prison tiger, in disbelief, felt its eyes ignite with a blue glow, and a chilling aura enveloped the surroundings.

Just as it prepared to unleash its domain power, a black scythe was suddenly poised at its throat.

The rapidity of these events astonished not only the prison tiger but also the flame tiger and the tiger guard present.

Unwilling to concede, the prison tiger attempted to resist.

But the sinister aura emanating from the scythe instilled a profound sense of danger within it.

Realizing that its head might sever from its body before it could even activate its domain.

My lord, this is merely a misunderstanding.

We can discuss this amicably.

The prison tiger is simply a bit impulsive.

I hope you'll not take offense.

The flame tiger rejected, stepping forward to mediate while exuding its own formidable presence.

Bayou sensed that this flame tiger was at least of royal rank, level three, whereas the prison tiger she subdued was but level one.

Are you the flame tiger allied with Inshi? She inquired directly, dismissing the prison tiger entirely as she returned to her seat.

The prison tiger seated with anger, yet held back by the flame tiger.

It could not comprehend why two royal beings would treat her with such difference.

The flame tiger subtly shook its head, signaling for restraint, as by you's aura conveyed a sense of uncertainty even to this level three royal.

The prison tiger being the youngest elder and a newly ascended royal remained oblivious to these nuances, perceiving only that it was being suppressed by the capabilities of its opponent.

Having absorbed vast amounts of primal essence and enhanced her magical abilities and attributes coupled with the augmentation from her weapon by you was a formidable adversary within her tier and the newly minted level one royal stood no chance against her.

My lord, have you come to meet with me specifically? The refining tiger seemed to have reached a certain understanding.

Observing the other party take a seat, it withdrew its imposing aura and stood aside.

Indeed, it acknowledged that you support Silver Tide, and you may collaborate with me to rescue her.

Bayou pointed at the Tiger Guard, speaking in a tone that was devoid of warmth.

The Tiger Guard, only now coming to his senses, realized that this friend of the queen had managed to intimidate two elders of the White Tiger Clan.

As for those who were irrelevant, if you are willing to assist Silver Tide, I shall not hold it against you.

However, if you are akin to the other elders, I would not hesitate to eliminate all obstacles to help Silver Tide ascend to the throne.

By you cast a glance at the furious prison tiger beside her, acutely aware that her presence had been detected and its fate was already sealed, either submission or death.

Before gathering intelligence from the refining tiger, it was essential to resolve this troublesome matter.

Thus, not only would she diminish a royal adversary, but she would also gain a royal undead, significantly enhancing her chances of success.

This was the very reason why you had chosen to act preemptively.

It was imperative to dismantle them one by one.

Who do you think you are? This is the territory of the White Tiger clan.

The prison tiger roared, its youthful arrogance, unable to fathom being so disdained by a human.

Prison Tiger, make your decision.

Refining Tiger urged meaningfully.

Refining Tiger, do you also do you truly trust this human? Even without you and me, what are the other elders? What those mongrels from the halfbeast empire? On what grounds do you place your faith in her? The prison tiger's face was wrought with disbelief, unable to reconcile the fact that just moments before it had been sharing laughter with the refining tiger, who now without hesitation sided with by you.

Regardless, I will stand with the queen.

She is the only one willing to openly confront the entire ice field white tiger clan in defense of silver tide.

And I believe she is not as simple as she appears.

Refining Tiger began to express its stance.

As the elder with the longest tenure, its vision extended far into the future.

It was a steadfast supporter of the White Tiger Queen.

At this juncture, with Bayou's assistance, perhaps the entire structure of the White Tiger clan could be transformed, ending the reign of those decaying elders and reinstating the Queen's lineage.

It was convinced that Byu's audacity in coming alone was indicative of some underlying strength.

Hence, it chose to take this gamble.

Otherwise, years hence, when it departed from this world, the entire White Tiger clan would find itself opposed to Silver Tide.

Bay remained silent, patiently awaiting Refining Tiger's persuasion of the other party.

This was her final opportunity for them.

The prison tiger fell silent.

If Refining Tiger did not come to its aid, it would stand no chance against this human.

and observing the confidence radiating from Bayou, it feared it might not leave this room alive.

Could Silver Tide truly lead the clan to strength, free from the oppression of the half beast empire? Remember, Silver Tide is the offspring of the queen and that formidable warrior.

The queen herself is the most gifted of all generations, on the brink of surpassing the limits of royal life.

And do you know the prowess of that warrior? Leanu did not respond to the inquiries of Yu.

Instead, he countered with a question of his own.

The life limit of the Icefield White Tiger is at the Imperial level.

While the White Tiger Queen has attained a mastery level of LV9, reaching the pinnacle of her potential, she was on the verge of breaking through to the sovereign level.

And had it not been for an unexpected incident and the assistance of Silver, she's father, transcending to sovereignty and shattering her life limit would have merely been a matter of time.

She could have undoubtedly led the ice field white tigers into the ranks of formidable clans.

Yu being young was largely unaware of these past events, receiving most information as mere rumors.

Among the seven clan elders, Lein, who is the oldest and possessed some understanding of the happenings from that era.
