Chapter 1693 Who Dictates?

“They came for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?”

Ye Yuan did not reveal a visible change in countenance, appearing very calm.

He did not understand what this Golden Sword Pact was. But Utmost Peace Imperial City provoked them time and again. Apart from the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, there was likely no other possibilities.

Zuo Shujie nodded and said, “They activated the Golden Sword Pact and mentioned that they wanted us to hand over the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! If not for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, Utmost Peace Imperial City also would not go through such great trouble.”

Even under the command of the same heavenly emperor, the relationship between imperial cities was also not very harmonious.

Zuo Shujie’s eyes narrowed slightly, extremely shocked in his heart.

Could the meaning in Ye Yuan’s words be to really have a life-and-death struggle with Utmost Peace Imperial City?

He shook his head and said, “Ye Yuan, I know that you aren’t willing, but Utmost Peace Imperial City is powerful and is a mid-upper imperial city in strength among our Southridge Ten Cities. Our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City has no wa
