The first thing Di Tian noticed when he returned was Fang Ao's sour mood.
"What happened?" He asked. "The negotiation did not go as planned?"
"It didn't," Fang Ao replied stonily. "The idiots banded together and proposed a clause I had to agree to.
Basically, they threatened to surrender to the present three Vanguards if I attack them. But they will peacefully surrender under one condition."
Di Tian sat on one of the cultivation mats and looked at Fang Ao curiously, waiting for him to go on.
"It's a little game. All ten of us will send our Saint Shadows on a conquest mission to a particular cultivation planet."
"Oh, we are to fight it out?" Di Tian raised an eyebrow. "Is brute strength allowed?"
"It is," Fang Ao nodded. "Not only that, any trick and scheme is allowed, as long you can forcefully take control of the planet and subdue the other Saint Shadows."
