The imperial capital of the Kalan Empire has always been the stronghold of the royal family, and it is the center of activity for members of the royal family. Most members of the Kalan royal family reside here, and the palace has also become a place for members to learn and gather. Yun Feng arrived at the entrance of the palace early in the morning. The location of the palace is not far from the wealthy district in the south, basically just a ten-minute walk away. It seems that the palace and the wealthy district are already connected together, indirectly separated from other areas, and form a clear gap with the place where ordinary people live.

  This time, Yun Feng himself came to the imperial palace. Qu Lan Yi and Mu Xiao Jin had already gone sightseeing in the capital with Yun Sheng. Yun Jing also had some matters to attend to. Since moving to the capital, it seemed that Yun Jing had countless social engagements, which made Yun Feng very annoyed. He wanted to teach those old men a lesson, not to bother his father for no reason.

  Following Yun Feng's side was a handsome young man, but on one side of his face there were mysterious tattoos, and the other side was in a night The small fire that made a big noise, this dark red flame cloud wolf had spread throughout the imperial capital, mentioning it everyone knew, this was the summoner master's magic beast!

  Now that Xiao Huo has free time, Ling Yi is even more so. The two magical beasts that have not appeared for a long time finally have the opportunity to see the world again. Ling Yi also looks very happy, but compared to the happiest one, it's the meatball on Yun Feng's shoulder. Since yesterday, the meatball's emotions have been high, seemingly full of curiosity about this imperial capital as well.

  As soon as Yun Feng walked to the door, someone responded immediately. The person who came to greet him was dressed in luxurious clothes and looked like he had a high status. When his gaze fell on Xiao Huo's body, the man awkwardly twitched the corner of his mouth and quietly walked over to Yun Feng's side, standing with Lan Yi. In his eyes, Xiao Huo's danger level was first.

  "Summoner, you've arrived... His Majesty is waiting for you, please follow me..." The newcomer said in a low voice, with a face full of respect and unease, as if he was afraid that Xiao Huo would suddenly bite him. Xiao Huo was too lazy to bother with him, not even looking at him, and only when Xiao Huo showed no interest did the man finally let out a sigh of relief.

  Yun Feng followed him in, and no one could have imagined that the ones following Yun Feng were not human, but three magical beasts!

  The palace was as big as Yun Feng had imagined, and the guide seemed to have taken a very special route, for they didn't encounter anyone on the way. Yun Feng followed quietly behind, while the two contracted magical beasts secretly sized up the place and shared their own opinions.

  "Master, there are several auras stronger than ours present here." Lan Yi spoke seriously, and Yun Feng nodded, the imperial family, how could they not have an ace up their sleeve? The existence of experts must be the reason why the imperial family can still hold their heads high, otherwise they would have been overthrown long ago.

  "I just don't know if it would feel good to fight." Xiao Huo's words made Yun Feng shake his head in dismay. Fire-type magical beasts usually had bad tempers and personalities, which was strangely similar to the nature of fire elements. Fire elements were violent and highly aggressive, and Xiao Huo's personality was no exception. He often thought about fighting, and if he were human, he would probably think that violence was the only solution to any problem.

  "I came today to negotiate with the old fox, he's trying to take advantage of me, but I won't let him get away with it. It all depends on whether that old fox will give in." Yun Feng thought to himself, and Lan Yi and Xiao Huo both chuckled softly. Yun Feng knew what they were thinking, and his tone became serious, "Compared to this old fox, the four five-star team leaders are still too shallow. I can take advantage of them, but this old fox is a bit more difficult."

  Just after conveying this sentence, Yun Feng saw a huge gate inlaid with jewels and diamonds ahead. The newcomer bowed respectfully to Yun Feng and said, "Summoner Master, His Majesty is inside, please come in."

  Yun Feng nodded, pushed open the huge door and walked in. Lan Yi and Xiao Huo followed him on both sides and also walked in. The door closed behind them, and the guide suddenly took out a handkerchief to wipe his forehead, which was all sweat. "Scared me to death, really scared me to death..."

  Yun Feng walked into the room, which was exceptionally spacious. The Emperor of Kalan was sitting in the main seat, smiling at Yun Feng. On the surface, it seemed like he was alone, but Yun Feng knew that wasn't the case. In each corner of the room, four Overlord-level experts were hiding in their own sealed spaces, with eight eyes closely monitoring Yun Feng. If Yun Feng made any unusual move, he would receive attacks from all four directions at the Overlord level in the next second.

  The meatball suddenly straightened up, looked at the four corners of the room, seemed to be somewhat restless, Yun Feng stretched out his hand and touched the meatball's small body, the meatball this time settled down, lying on Yun Feng's shoulder no longer moving.

  "The great summoner of the Kalan Empire, please sit down." The Emperor of Kalan said with a smile. Yun Feng didn't show much expression and sat down, her black eyes scanning the four corners of the room without leaving any trace. As an emperor, she had to be vigilant at all times. If she really wanted to make a move, perhaps these four people would not be bad targets.

  Yun Feng suppressed this violent thought, today is not the day to turn against each other, but to negotiate, and calculate the benefits for both sides with this old fox.

  "I speak plainly, Your Majesty should understand the purpose of my visit." Yun Feng was straightforward and didn't want to waste time playing Tai Chi with an emperor.

  "Heh heh, the news of the Phantom Beast is indeed very enticing... This information is only known to the emperors of the four major empires. It's also a promise between us that I'm taking a risk by telling you now."

  Yun Feng smiled, "Your Majesty's risk is naturally calculated in your heart. Since Your Majesty has decided to tell me, it seems that this risk can also be borne."

  The Emperor of Karan slightly narrowed his eyes, and in front of him was a half-big child who gave him a sense of oppression, even the majesty of his imperial identity was easily dissolved. Speaking with an equal status before a generation of emperors, this was still the first one he had seen, except for those three people with the same identity as him.

  "The people of Yun's family are indeed straightforward and refreshing. Alright, I can tell you this news, but naturally there are conditions."

  Yun Feng's eyebrows slightly raised, this old fox also intended to get straight to the point, great! "What are the conditions?"

  "Heh heh, in another month the Four Nations Tournament on the Eastern Continent will begin. The individual ranking tournament at Musan School has been cancelled, you should know about this." Kalan's hands were clasped together and placed on his knees, his fingers tapping occasionally, his expression looking calm and natural.

  "This time's Four Nations Competition was brought forward, although I don't know what kind of tricks they're playing, it doesn't have much impact on Kalan. The Four Nations Competition is probably something you wouldn't know about - every five years, the four major empires on the Eastern Continent will hold a Four Nations Competition, each time taking turns to host in one country. The competition includes two parts: warriors and mages; naturally, summoners are classified under mages. Each country will send out five top-notch individuals in both fields, forming a team of ten to participate in the competition. The Four Nations Competition can be said to be an event that all four major empires look forward to, especially getting first place - it's a position that every country is eager to get."

  Yun Feng smiled, without expressing any opinion. Emperor Kalan looked at her for a moment before continuing, "The countries that obtain the top two rankings will have the qualification to explore a ruin known as the Pantheon Ruins. It is said that inside lies untold treasures and weapons, as well as many things beyond human imagination." Emperor Kalan's tone became fervent, his eyes gleaming with longing light, it seemed that the Pantheon Ruins held an extraordinary position in the heart of this generation's emperor.

  "As for why this ruin was discovered, and some other things, I'm not quite sure. In short, it's a decision between the four countries. If one country violates the rules and explores on its own, it will be punished by the other three countries. The only way to obtain exploration rights is through the Four Nations Tournament."

  "Your Majesty wants to win the qualification for exploration? Didn't the previous trials, the Kalan Empire didn't even get qualified?"

  The face of the Emperor of Kalan was slightly awkward, "Kalan's strength is naturally not weak, but the other three countries are all sleeping tigers and hidden dragons. Every time they compete with the other three major empires, they will have their own tricks and trump cards. Compared to them, Kalan's talent reserve seems much weaker, especially in terms of geniuses, freaks, and odd talents, which is far inferior." The Emperor of Kalan's eyes fell on Yun Feng, and he chuckled, "But this year is different, no matter how hard they try, they won't know that you're here."

  The Emperor of Karan's gaze spread over with passionate fervor, and Yun Feng already had a plan in mind. "Your Majesty's condition is to win the qualification for exploration in this competition?"

  Kalan Emperor smiled, "Winning the qualification for exploration? Not just winning the qualification for exploration, but must be the first place!"

  Yun Feng slightly furrowed his brow, must win first place? What does that mean? The top two can qualify to explore the ruins, why insist on winning first place, isn't it just because of pride? Kalan Emperor chuckled, "Yun Feng, this is the condition, if you agree, you must win first place, if not, then forget about it, I won't force you."

  Yun Feng's mind flashed with various thoughts, and she felt that this old fox was even more cunning than she had imagined. The Wan Shen Heritage seemed to be a place that made people's blood boil with excitement, judging from the tone of the Kalan Emperor's voice. There must be many extraordinary things inside, which was why the four major empires were so eager to get their hands on it. In order to prevent other countries from taking action without permission, they even came up with a competition under the name of "Contest for Supremacy".

  This place is bound to have some encounters, Yun Feng concluded in his heart. This ruin has never appeared in daily life, it seems that the high-level authorities have issued a strict blockade message, otherwise some scattered high-ranking masters would also flock to it, and the protection of the four major empires is indeed watertight.

  Must everything good be monopolized? Is there such a good thing? If you have to choose someone, she must be one of them. The Emperor of Kalan can tell himself about the matter of the ruins of Wan Shen, and it seems that he has also made some sincerity. The Four Nations Competition is given such a name, and the mentality of the four emperors is also seen.

  She knew the secret, if she refused, Emperor Kalan would definitely add another mark to the Yun family's record. This time, he would also try his best to stop her from participating. Even if she agreed, there was no loss for herself. The first place could be hers, but her conditions wouldn't be few either!

  Yun Feng's red lips curved slightly, and the Emperor of Kalan knew what Yun Feng meant. "Your Majesty, winning first place is not a problem, but my conditions are no longer just that."

  Kalan Emperor smiled and glanced at the back of his hand, "Alright, what are your conditions? What else do you want besides the information about that phantom beast?"

  The smile at the corner of Yun Feng's mouth grew wider and wider, with a hint of cleverness hidden in his dark eyes. Looking at the emperor in front of him, he slowly opened his mouth, "I want three quotas for exploring the ancient ruins."

  Yun Feng's words made the Emperor of Kalan's face change completely. Yun Feng smiled and continued, "Exploring the ruins is naturally a matter for the royal family itself, I also understand this point, otherwise it wouldn't be called the Four Nations Competition, I believe Your Majesty won't mention anything about the ruins to the participating team members either."

  The face of the Emperor of Karan turned even darker as Yun Feng spoke, sitting in the main seat, his fingers tapping on the back of his hand without speaking. Yun Feng was right, this Four Nations Competition was just a cover-up. The royal families of the four empires were tight-lipped about the ancient ruins. It was precisely because among the ten contestants participating in the competition, it was impossible for all of them to be members of the royal family. There must be others, even other prominent families! Once the matter of the ancient ruins became known, these families would not sit idly by and would also clamor to get a share of the spoils. How could the royal family possibly refuse? In this way, the benefits gained from exploring the ancient ruins would be greatly discounted, and the interests of the royal family would suffer direct losses!

  To put it bluntly, this event is just using others' labor achievements to gain benefits for the royal family, and what they gained was indeed thorough.

  "You're quite perceptive." The Calanthe Emperor's expression turned cold as he glanced at Yun Feng, whose smile remained unchanged. "My conditions have been made clear. In fact, I don't stand to lose much; at worst, I'll just choose not to participate. As for whether other families will find out, I wouldn't dare guarantee that."

  The Emperor of Kalan suddenly realized that he might have made a mistake, and negotiating with Yun Feng seemed to be wrong from the start. As the emperor of a country, he was being forced into this situation by a little girl, which ignited a spark of anger in his heart. As for whether other families would find out, he couldn't guarantee it. The Emperor of Kalan gritted his teeth in hatred, if other families were to know, wouldn't it cause a huge stir!

  If the Karan royal family really got this exploration qualification, they wouldn't let other families share it! Three quotas aren't many either, giving them away is no big deal, but once other families find out, the number of quotas given out won't be just three anymore!

  Kalan Emperor weighed it in his heart and finally made a decision. The Kalan Empire wanted to win the first place, relying on Yun Feng's trump card. For hundreds of years, among the four major empires, except for one empire that had a summoner, the others were zero! And now Yun Feng's sudden appearance was even more pressing on this point!

  The Kalan Empire must be the first to win! Who else can be the first if not the Kalan Empire?! The Kalan Emperor regards this first place as a must-win!

  "Alright, three quotas, I promise you!" The calm and composed Emperor Karan finally spoke up. Yun Feng smiled, "Your Majesty is indeed generous. Since that's the case, I'll also agree to it."

  Kalan Emperor's heart suddenly relaxed, as long as Yun Feng agreed, the first place in the Kalan Empire was almost certain. "Hehehe, great, I'll be waiting for good news then."

  Yun Feng smiled, this fox indeed is a fox, doesn't want to let himself lose out? Hehe, people who negotiate with Yun Feng, how can they not eat any loss at all?

  Yun Feng and Kalan Emperor chatted for a few more sentences, Kalan Emperor asked Yun Feng to stay for a while longer, Yun Feng agreed, after walking out of the room, Yun Feng strolled along the road alone, Xiao Huo Xinyu transmitted sound beside him, "Why not ask for a few more quotas, might as well ask for ten!"

  Yun Feng smiled, "This thing is just right, the royal family also has a bottom line, to get the most benefits within the range of their allowed bottom line. Three quotas are already enough for me."

  "Master, if I and Huo Xiong each take up one spot, wouldn't that be unfair to you?" Lan Yi frowned and said, Yun Feng smiled, "I didn't say the demon beast counts as one spot..."

  Xiao Huo and Lan Yi both smiled upon hearing this, it seems that the master is still the best at scheming. In the end, the one who loses out isn't himself. Yun Feng's mood also improved, the Wan Shen Heritage Site, the ancestors should know about it, wait until we get back to ask them thoroughly, what exactly is this Wan Shen Heritage Site? If we can encounter some opportunities inside, it would be too important for our current selves.

  Yun Feng walked past a small path and turned into a garden-like place, where the atmosphere seemed to be more lively, and some moving servants could be seen. However, when the servants saw Xiao Huo by Yun Feng's side, they let out a shrill cry, those who could run did so, while those who couldn't simply collapsed dead on the spot.

  "Foolish humans, how disappointing." Xiao Huo muttered under his breath, his wolf-like eyes gazing at these timid servants with a hint of mockery. Yun Feng chuckled, it wasn't unusual for humans to be cowardly, after all, Xiao Huo's sudden appearance was enough to test anyone's heart, and they were just ordinary civilians, so it wasn't excessive to call them weak.

  When facing the strong, the weak will always involuntarily produce a sense of awe and intimidation, especially with Xiao Huo's current strength, which subtly exudes a kind of pressure that makes people's hearts panic, no wonder these mercenaries are running around in all directions.

  "Yun Tian, where are you going? Wait for me!" A familiar voice rang out, Yun Feng's ears picked up the sound from afar, his black eyes scanned briefly, and a tall figure suddenly emerged from another corner. Yun Feng nodded slightly to the person, as a greeting, but that person seemed stunned, only staring at Yun Feng with a pair of hot and eager black eyes.

  "Yun Tian, what are you doing here? You..." Kasha's voice followed, and then Kasha's figure also appeared beside her. When Kasha saw Yun Feng, her face suddenly changed, "Yun... Yun Feng, you came... you're here..."

  Kasha's words suddenly trembled, possibly because she saw Yun Feng's side, Ling Yi and Xiao Huo. At that time, Kasha would not forget the scene, the man with wings, and the exceptionally cruel and brutal fire cloud wolf... Kasha's hand suddenly stretched out, grabbing Mu Rong Yun Tian's hand, wanting to extract some surging emotions, but unexpectedly Mu Rong Yun Tian simply and neatly shook her off.

  Kasha lifted her head, and when she saw Murong Yuntian's face so intently gazing at Yun Feng, a thread of jealousy ignited from Kasha's heart. This man had never looked at her with such eyes! She had been chasing after him for so many years, but he had never seriously turned his head to look at her even once! But now, he was so intently gazing at another woman!

  Kasha's gaze swept towards Yun Feng, but after seeing Xiao Huo and Lan Yi, she withdrew her eyes again. Kasha felt that she was extremely unimpressive, but the fear in her heart continued to entangle her, making her lose her former arrogance when facing Yun Feng. However, the hatred in her heart still lingered, as the person she had been thinking of had easily stolen away her attention.

  Murong Yuntian stood there, looking a bit dazed, his height seemed to have increased, and the features on his face became even more handsome, with a standard five senses combination, very heroic. Yun Feng subtly sensed that his strength had also advanced at an extraordinary speed, and he had already reached the ninth level, remembering that the last time they fought, he was at the eighth level, and in just a short period of time, he could advance to the ninth level, indeed a talented young man.

  Yun Feng nodded and turned to leave, but Mu Rong Yun Tian called out to her, "Yun Feng!"

  Yun Feng stopped in his tracks, slightly turning his head back. Kasahara gritted her teeth, making a slight cracking sound, but didn't dare say anything. She could only stand there awkwardly, watching the person she had feelings for look at another woman with affection. "Is something wrong?" Yun Feng asked calmly. Mu Rong Yun Tian's gaze shifted to Lan Yi standing beside Yun Feng, clearly showing displeasure and his expression became slightly stern. Lan Yi raised an eyebrow, also sensing the pressure emanating from Mu Rong Yun Tian, and met his gaze.

  "He is..." Murong Yuntian looked at Lan Yi, who was equally handsome and didn't think much of him. The key point was that Lan Yi stood beside Yun Feng, looking seemingly intimate, which slightly irritated Murong Yuntian. He didn't know what was wrong with himself, but whenever he saw a member of the opposite sex appear beside Yun Feng, he inexplicably became furious.

  "He's my friend, what's wrong?" Yun Feng said briefly. Lan Yi glanced at Yun Feng and smiled slightly. As a demon beast, he was happy to be called a friend by his master. Mu Rong Yun Tian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, seeing the impatience on Yun Feng's face, and knew that he had overstepped again.

  "Congratulations, Summoner," said Murong Yuntian. Yun Feng smiled and replied, "Thanks, congratulations on your power upgrade too."

  Murong Yuntian was taken aback, looking at Yun Feng with a hint of confusion. Yun Feng turned around and left without saying another word. Murong Yuntian watched as Yun Feng's slender figure disappeared from view, his eyes fixed on the girl's hair that flowed behind her like a river. A sudden thought flashed through his mind - if possible, should he return to the Murong household and discuss this matter with his father?

  Kasha stood silently on the side, her eyes like a venomous snake, staring fiercely at Yun Feng. Kasha glanced at Murong Yuntian's expression, her face slightly lowered, and a bitter taste spread in her heart. She had been chasing him for a long time, but now he was easily taken away by someone else. What was wrong with her? Where was she inferior to Yun Feng?! How hateful!

  Yun Feng had just walked out of the garden when he noticed that the transmission jade plate in his wrist space was making a sound. He glanced around cautiously, but there was no one else present. Yun Feng took out the transmission jade plate, and after flashing a few times, it transmitted the slightly timid voice of Mu Xiao Jin, "Xiao Feng..."

  Yun Feng's heart skipped a beat, "Xiao Jin, is something wrong?"

  The Sound Transmission Jade Plate flashed a few more times, but this time it wasn't Mu Xiao Jin's voice that came through, but Yun Sheng's. "Feng Er, we're on the north side of the street market, you'd better come over."

  Yun Sheng's voice seemed somewhat hesitant, and the Sound Transmission Jade Plate flickered a few more times. "Qu Lan Yi... seems to be not quite right..."

  Yun Feng's heart skipped a beat, what was wrong with Qu Lan Yi? Was something off? Had she done something shocking and outrageous? Yun Feng thought about the various things Qu Lan Yi might have done and felt a headache coming on. He glanced out at the outside of the imperial city, to the north, but it was very far away. If he were to hurry, then...

  Lan Yi's arm stretched out, carefully encircling Yun Feng in its grasp. The wings on his back suddenly appeared, unfolded and flapped! The blue pattern on the white wings was so bright and beautiful, and Lan Yi's body instantly rose into the high sky. A handsome man with wings flew through the air, just like an angel.

  Xiao Huo couldn't help but curl up his lip, and with a flash of his body, he directly entered the contract ring of Yun Feng, leaving it to run out of the imperial city alone. I reckon everyone in the palace will be scared to death by it.

  Lan Yi's wings shook violently, taking Yun Feng with him as he flew north towards the Imperial City. In an instant, they transformed into a blue light and disappeared. After they vanished, two people walked out slowly. The girl's eyes were fixed on Lan Yi's disappearing back, looking somewhat dazed. "That's the Summoner, that's the Contracted Beast... so beautiful..."

  The middle-aged man standing behind the girl also gazed at the direction where Yun Feng disappeared with his dark eyes, "If the princess likes it, she can also have a magic beast, but..."

  The girl's expression suddenly turned cold. "Do you think I'm as stupid as everyone else? Hmph! A mount? What's the use of a mount?! In the end, it's all just a bunch of trash!"

  The middle-aged man no longer spoke out, and the girl's lips suddenly curled up, "Summoner's Contract Ring, if I can possess it..."

  The middle-aged man's expression stiffened, his eyes swept over the girl for a moment before quickly returning, the girl seemed to have thought of something delightful, her smile was so obvious, while the middle-aged man felt a chill spread slowly from the bottom of his heart.
