As Qin Tian pondered in silence, in the beastman ranks, the leader of the ancient dragon race, Gu Yun, stepped forward first, slightly bending his posture, his voice loud, flawlessly speaking the language of the Empire to the entire plaza:
"Gu Yun of the Ancient Dragon Race, representing the beastman team, representing His Majesty Gu Zhan, pays homage to the Holy Martial Emperor, wishing His Majesty good health and the Empire's eternal prosperity!"
Ji Haoxuan scanned Gu Yun with a faint gaze, his voice deep and dignified: "Guests are welcome; the Empire welcomes you all. This Nine Stars martial meeting is a cooperative endeavor between our Empire and various beastman clans. In consideration of all clans seeking opportunities, I grant you entry into the Secret Realm. But remember, within the Secret Realm, you must abide by the rules, restrain your people, refrain from causing trouble or inciting conflicts, or the Empire will not consider ties of cooperation."
