Bai Xiaoxiao outlined her grand strategy for Shenwu Kingdom to seize the southern territories of East Continent after victory over the Demon Sect, forming a tripartite world with Jianghai Region and the Great Witch Dynasty dominating the east, while the central regions descend into chaos. Lin Bai praised her foresight but warned of the eastern powers' surging strength and pressed her on her hidden knowledge of the Demon Sect Master, which she denied. Later, confiding in Chu Jiangliu, Bai Xiaoxiao grappled with the torment of revealing the Demon Sect Master's true identity to Lin Bai amid the looming war.

While on Dragon Raising Island, Lin Bai seized the healing time to swiftly restore himself to peak condition in record time.

In those days, Bai Xiaoxiao remained on Dragon Raising Island as well, yet she stayed incredibly occupied daily, constantly handling numerous matters across the Shenwu Kingdom's Territories through a Sound Transmission Token.

Chu Jiangliu too found himself swamped each day, seldom sparing moments for casual talks with Lin Bai.

Five days passed, and Lan Yuxin along with Li Jiuge showed up together at Dragon Raising Island.

Inside Lin Bai’s palace, Li Jiuge, Lan Yuxin, Lin Bai, and Bai Xiaoxiao gathered around.

Lan Yuxin’s eyes mostly fixed on Lin Bai.

Yet Li Jiuge’s attention drifted more toward Bai Xiaoxiao.

On the other hand, both Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao wore grim looks, apparently troubled by certain issues.

Lan Yuxin spoke: "The East Continent Academy is fully ready. From today onward, disciples heading back to the East Continent Academy have begun streaming into the Jianghai Region."

"Furthermore, in the Jianghai Region, both the Great Witch Dynasty and the Jiang Clan—the top family there—have consented to the East Continent Academy’s plans, gearing up to support its disciples!"

"Plus, the Nine Elders of the Order Divine Court wish for Emperor Xiao to journey to the Jianghai Region too, acting as a key host for this conflict and managing troop placements in the area!"

Lan Yuxin turned to Bai Xiaoxiao and declared.

"Gladly willing." Bai Xiaoxiao replied calmly.

Li Jiuge grinned and asked: "Emperor Xiao, have you settled in well at the East Continent Academy?"

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, offering little else.

Lin Bai inquired: "When do we set out for the Jianghai Region?"

Lan Yuxin answered: "Right now, the Registered Disciples have already departed ahead, while Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Disciples are steadily making their way to the Jianghai Region. In about ten days, every East Continent Academy disciple should assemble there."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao promptly stated: "Miss Lan Yuxin, kindly relay to the Order Divine Court to split the Jianghai Region into four zones!"

"Namely the southeast, northwest regions!"

"I’ve checked the Jianghai Region’s map and noted the Great Witch Dynasty sits in its eastern part!"

"The leading family of the Jianghai Region lies north of the Great Witch Dynasty!"

"That makes it straightforward—have the Order Divine Court partition the Jianghai Region into four zones!"

"The Great Witch Dynasty’s warriors take charge of the eastern zone, and the Jiang Clan of the Jianghai Region handles the northern one!"

"Meanwhile, the current fighters in the Jianghai Region plus incoming reinforcements from the Sword Domain and Soul-breaking Area—all head to the western zone!"

"Every disciple from the East Continent Academy goes to the southern zone!"

"This setup dodges plenty of headaches!"

"The Jiang Clan of the Jianghai Region and Great Witch Dynasty can deploy their own forces; they’ll manage it effortlessly!"

Bai Xiaoxiao explained to Lan Yuxin.

Lan Yuxin agreed with a nod: "Fine, I’ll get it sorted immediately!"

Bai Xiaoxiao urged: "We must reach the Jianghai Region without delay!"

Lin Bai nodded too: "Sure, ready to leave whenever!"

After lengthy discussions, Lan Yuxin hurried back to the Order Divine Court to pass on Bai Xiaoxiao’s suggestions.

That evening at dusk, Lin Bai, Bai Xiaoxiao, Li Jiuge, Lan Yuxin, Hu Xiner, Chu Jiangliu, and the Shenwu Kingdom’s army departed Dragon Raising Island, bound for the Jianghai Region!

Three days on, the Spirit Boat entered the Jianghai Region’s bounds.

Still, Lin Bai’s group pressed on without pause, aiming directly for the Great Witch Dynasty in the Jianghai Region!

Through multiple Teleportation Arrays, Lin Bai and companions drew close to the Great Witch Dynasty.

By their arrival, they lagged behind; nearly every Quasi-Saint from the East Continent Academy had already reached the Great Witch Dynasty.

In the Great Witch Dynasty’s Imperial Palace, Wu He rushed forward. His gaze on Lin Bai flashed with savagery as he cupped his fists: "Emperor Xiao, my father, the Jiang Clan Chief, and powerhouses from various Territories have awaited you long."

Bai Xiaoxiao gave a slight nod: "Show us the way!"

Wu He nodded: "This way, please, Emperor Xiao!"

Right away, guided by Wu He, Bai Xiaoxiao stepped into the Golden Palace inside the Imperial Palace.

Upon entering the Golden Palace, Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao beheld hundreds of warriors seated within, each radiating surges of fearsome might.

All these turned out to be Wending Realm powerhouses!

A middle-aged man exuding a majestic presence occupied the Dragon Throne, his gaze fixed on Bai Xiaoxiao as she approached.

This was none other than the Great Witch Emperor, Wu He’s own father!

Underneath the Dragon Throne sat a white-haired elder with an otherworldly aura in a chair, beaming as he watched Bai Xiaoxiao enter.

He was the Patriarch of the Jiang Clan, the top family in the Jianghai Region!

Once inside the Golden Palace, Lin Bai also recognized many familiar faces, including Fang Yiyun, Changsun Yun, Meng Li, Shu Xiang, and nearly all the Quasi-Saints from the East Continent Academy.

In addition, he spotted Gu Daozhi along with various powerhouses from the East Continent Academy.

Five Elders from the Order Divine Court of the East Continent Academy had arrived here, highlighting the Academy's intense focus on this pivotal battle!

Wu He stepped into the Golden Hall and announced: "Father, Seniors, Emperor Xiao of the Shenwu Kingdom has arrived."

Facing the stares of hundreds of Wending Realm experts, Bai Xiaoxiao upheld her distant and arrogant poise, embodying a supreme emperor!

Bai Xiaoxiao cupped her fists and declared: "I am Bai Xiaoxiao!"

The Great Witch Emperor grinned and remarked: "Emperor Xiao, indeed a woman who does not let men overshadow her!"

The Jiang Clan Patriarch smiled as well and commented: "Truly a heroine among women! Making Emperor Xiao one of the commanders for this battle was clearly no error."

The Great Witch Emperor rose and stated: "Emperor Xiao, let me introduce to you the warriors gathered in this Golden Palace!"

"The warriors on the left hail from the East Continent Academy, encompassing five Elders of the Order Divine Court plus other powerhouses from the Academy, totaling two hundred Wending Realm experts!"

"And of course, the Quasi-Saints!"

"The warriors seated below the East Continent Academy group come from the Jiang Clan of the Jianghai Region, amounting to thirty-two Wending Realm powerhouses!"

"The warriors on the right consist of my Great Witch Dynasty’s Royal Family members and Dynasty generals, totaling thirty-six Wending Realm powerhouses!"

"The warriors seated below the Royal Family are those who fled from the Sword Domain, Soul-breaking Area, and various other Territories to here, making one hundred and fifty Wending Realm powerhouses in all!"

"This assembles the mightiest forces currently in the Great Witch Dynasty."

The Great Witch Emperor elaborated.

Lin Bai raised his gaze, scanning every warrior present and etching their faces into his memory.

After the Great Witch Emperor's rundown of their forces, Lin Bai drew in a sharp breath; over four hundred Wending Realm powerhouses filled the hall, with some reaching the peak of the Wending Realm!

The Great Witch Emperor inquired: "With nearly all the warriors assembled now, what does Emperor Xiao intend to do next?"
