章 678: 678. Act

"These territories don't belong to anyone. You can't put a price over something that you don't own."

"I'd rather fight you again than pay for resources that have yet to have an owner."

Lady Edna and Elder Doyle immediately complained, but they didn't dare to unleash their aura.

Instead, the slender cultivator from the Empire and the rank 5 cultivator in front of Thaddeus didn't speak.

Lady Edna and Elder Doyle had both been defeated by Elder Austin in the past, so their reactions were somewhat understandable.

However, the other two rank 5 existences didn't have any emotion affecting their judgment and could evaluate the situation clearly.

The priority of the four forces was to obtain the new lifeform, and all of them knew that the Hive was the only nation that could have some claims there.

It was merely a geographical matter.

The Hive was closer, so it would have obtained that land if the nations had divided the continent according to the current domain.
