Chapter 65: Gain Power (2) (Revised)
The first clan leader meeting held after the conclusion of the Nine Dragons Contest. The leaders of the Inner City’s Eight Clans and North Palace Bai gathered in one place.
From the victorious conclusion of the Great Southern War to the triumphant end of the Nine Dragons War.
The atmosphere should have been harmonious, but it was not.

As the Green Dragon Sect Leader, the City Lord’s son, rose, the other sect leaders hurriedly stood and bowed their heads.

Gu Long, the Dark Dragon King, Dang Qing, swept his characteristic dark green eyes over everyone.
Whoosh.
The tension that had been palpable just moments ago vanished instantly.

“Begin.”
The meeting commenced the moment Dang Cheong spoke.
Discussions flowed, covering topics like how to manage the Southern Wilderness, the territory of the Southern Heavenly Palace, and how the Nine Dragons Contest had significantly boosted the warriors’ morale.
Lord Dang Cheong nodded, seemingly satisfied.
Then, near the end of the meeting, Baek Jung-cheon raised his hand.
