The major super sects contributed these treasures partly due to the pressure from the imperial capital. The imperial capital was willing to publiclypete for the role of the national sessor, and naturally, the martial world had to show a certain level of sincerity; otherwise, the imperial capital wouldn’t agree. On the other hand, they initially thought that at least half of the top ten in the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking would be from their super sects.


    Therefore, presenting these treasures was just a formality, and most of them would eventually return to their hands. However, fate had a different n. They never expected that none of the top ten would be from the super sects.


    Figures like Adrian Hayes and Louie Wolfe, the so-called geniuses, were either dead or crippled, and their names would no longer appear on the ranking list. So, this time, the treasures were considered a gain for Billy and hispanions, as well as the two independent cultivators by his side.


    “Young Master, are you okay?” In no time, Billy led Ivy and others to the VIP area, where Adam Greenleaf greeted them first.


    “Thanks for your concern, Uncle Adam,” Billy replied with a smile.


    As they entered the VIP area, ncing around, only Urban Woolery and Milo Guzman were present. Other ministers and staff were busy outside.


    “Haha, Commander Gardner, you’ve worked hard. Please, have a seat!” Urban Woolery greeted Billy with a heartyugh.


    “Thanks, Prime Minister!” Billy responded with a smile after exchanging greetings with Milo Guzman and others, leading everyone to take their seats.


    “Commander Gardner, you’ve been constantly bringing us surprises today!” Urban Woolery said with a smile. “Truly the lucky star of vale!”


    His mood was indeed quite good. With this victory, the role of the national sessor undoubtedly belonged to Billy. Moreover, after today’s battle, the major superpowers would feel the pain for a long time. Geniuses at the Sovereign level were not easy to cultivate.


    “Prime Minister, you tter me.” Billy responded with a smile.


    “Prime Minister, now, the boss should be able to assume the role of the national sessor, right?” Stout looked at Urban Woolery and asked.


    “Haha, absolutely!” Urban Wooleryughed. “Not only the national sessor, but Commander Gardner will also personally designate the five openers of the national channels.”


    “Is that true?” Stout smacked his lips. “The capital city still has some conscience; otherwise, it would be too…”


    Before he could finish, Ivy pped him on the back of his head.


    Then, looking a bit embarrassed, she nced at Urban Woolery. “Prime Minister, don’t mind him; he talks nonsense.”


    “Haha…” Urban Wooleryughed again. “The chubby guy is right, the capital city indeed owes Commander Gardner, and there’s no need to avoid mentioning it.”


    “Prime Minister, this Dragon and Phoenix Ranking event is over. When can the national channels be officially opened?” Night Orchid asked from the side.


    Since there were no outsiders here, she asked directly. The gathering of the Five Elements Jade Pendants was extremely confidential, known only to a limited number of people.


    “It will take a little more than a month!” Urban Woolery said with a slightly serious expression. Then, staring ahead, he couldn’t help but sigh, “I’m also looking forward to that day. The opening of the channels, the arrival of the national destiny, theprehensive revival of vale’s martial arts. For our country, it will be a new milestone!”


    “That day, vale has been waiting for hundreds of years!”


    “That’s soon!” Stout smacked his lips again. “I really want to see how much vale’s martial strength will improve after the national destiny arrives!”


    “You won’t be disappointed!” Urban Woolery smiled faintly.


    “Prime Minister, when will the Global Martial Arts Competition take ce?” Night Orchid continued after a moment of thought.


    “It hasn’t been finalized yet!” Urban Woolery shook his head and added, “The World Martial Arts Championship is a global event, and there’s a lot to prepare. It’s estimated to take ce around the middle or second half of the year at the earliest.”


    “That’s good! As long as it’s held after the national channels open!” Night Orchid nodded.


    “Yeah!” Urban Woolery also nodded. Then, with a slightly serious tone, he said, “So, the matter of the Five Elements Jade Pendants must not be leaked before the national channels are opened!”


    “Understood!” Everyone nodded simultaneously.


    Everyone understood that if the news of the jade pendants leaked, some Western countries would undoubtedly try to prevent vale from opening the national channels. After all, all martial artists in vale would benefit from it. vale’s martial art strength would once again rise significantly, and many old things with stagnant cultivation might break through.


    In this way, vale’s overall strength would increase by several levels, something the Western countries did not want to see.


    On the other hand, if the West learned that vale was about to open the national channels, they might expedite the World Martial Arts Championship as a precaution. If that happened, vale would be in a very passive position.


    Therefore, the news of the Five Elements Jade Pendants must not be leaked.


    “Prime Minister, a hundred years ago, how did vale fare in itsst Global Martial Arts Competition?” Stout continued to ask.


    Exhaling heavily, Urban Woolery said, “That time was a disgrace for us vale.”


    “What do you mean?” Stout was slightly stunned. “Did vale rank very low?”


    “Far more than just low!” Otis Hum who was on the side, took a deep breath and exined, “In the Martial Arts Championship, all participants automatically signed a life-and-death agreement. Once on the stage, unless voluntarily surrendering, they fought to the death.”


    “That time, all the participants sent by vale were killed without exception!”Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “What’s even more hateful is that manypatriots had already surrendered on the stage but were still killed by their opponents!”


    “Why? Didn’t the referees intervene?” Night Orchid frowned and asked.


    “The referees colluded with several major Western countries and turned a blind eye. The exnations they gave were varied and inconsistent!” Otis Hum responded with anger on his face.


    “When vale’s delegation went to negotiate with the organizingmittee, they promised to thoroughly investigate, but in the end, it was still fruitless!”


    “Damn! Those damn bastards!” Stout cursed. “This year, we must make them pay a hundredfold!”


    “Yes! It’s time to settle some scores with them!” Urban Woolery nodded thoughtfully.


    After a while, retracting his thoughts, he looked at Billy and said, “Commander Gardner, you’ve caused some significant losses to the major super sects this time. They probably won’t let it go easily in theing period. Be careful!”


    “Thanks for the reminder, Prime Minister!” Billy nodded slightly.


    “Commander Gardner, when you have time in a few days, go to the imperial capital. There are some things I want to discuss with you!” Urban Woolery said after a short pause.


    “Sure!” Billy smiled and nodded.


    In his heart, he had a vague guess about what Urban Woolery was referring to.
