Chapter 1756 Peaceful Means
"What do you mean?" Master Bai frowned deeply. He came here for a battle, and now they wanted to talk?
"We mean no harm." Yao Jie stated. "Our master believes that there is no point for us to fight here. We can solve our problems through peace."
"Peace?" Master Bai laughed coldly. "Have you ever counted how many people you have killed during this period?"
"We have no choice, and our people need to vent their emotions after being imprisoned for countless years." Yao Jie explained calmly. "We have stopped it now."
"Don't you think it's too easy to say it like this?" Master Bai said coldly. A terrifying aura gradually emanated from his body.
Yao Jie smiled and said. "You should also ask your friends. They killed many people during the battle."
Hongyue and Xian An silently looked at Yao Jie. Some planets were caught in the battle and perished. It wasn't something they could control, but they didn't deny it.
Master Bai wanted to speak further, but he was interrupted by Yun Lintian.
"Calm down. Let me handle this." Yun Lintian gently patted Master Bai's back.
He looked at Yao Jie and said. "I have no objections to solving this problem peacefully, but you must clarify your purpose first."
Yao Jie explained. "You are here for the Dark Pearl, but my master doesn't think you deserve it."
"Stop talking to him and start fighting." Master Bai said angrily upon hearing this.
Yun Lintian quickly calmed Master Bai down and spoke. "I don't deny that the Dark Pearl doesn't belong to me, but I don't think your master has the right to decide whether I deserve it either."
"You can discuss it with my master." Yao Jie said calmly.
Master Bai turned to Yun Lintian and asked suspiciously. "Don't tell me you're going to talk to them?"
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said to Yao Jie. "Leads the way."
"You! Are you out of your mind?" Master Bai couldn't believe it.
Yun Lintian looked at him and said. "If we can solve it peacefully and no one here needs to sacrifice themselves, I don't think it's a bad idea."
Hongyue took a deep look at Yun Lintian and inwardly sighed. She knew that he was doing this for everyone here.
Master Bai was furious and wanted to scold Yun Lintian, but he ultimately gave up. He took a deep breath and said. "Forget it. You can do whatever you want."
Seeing this, Yao Jie smiled and made an inviting gesture. "Please."
Yun Lintian immediately steered the profound ark to follow Yao Jie into the depths of darkness.
"Senior, can you break out?" Yun Lintian said to Jin Long through a sound transmission.
"This person is an early-level Lesser God. Although it's a bit troublesome, I have no problem dealing with him." Jin Long replied calmly. "However, it depends on how many lesser gods there are. Xian An and I can handle a maximum of six at the same time."
Even though Yun Lintian was aware of the strength of Jin Long and Xian An, he didn't expect them to be this powerful. Both of them were clearly half-step Lesser Gods, yet they were actually confident in facing six Lesser Gods at the same time.
"If something happens, I will have to trouble Senior to buy me some time. We will leave through the gate after obtaining the Dark Pearl." Yun Lintian said.
"No problem." Jin Long responded calmly.
Yun Lintian scanned the surroundings through the Eyes of Heaven and saw numerous figures lurking in the shadows. There were at least a hundred thousand people here, most of whom were at the Divine Sovereign Realm or at the early level of the Divine Emperor Realm.
Under Yao Jie's guidance, everyone quickly arrived at a forested area. All the trees here were tall and surprisingly filled with vitality despite living in such a dreadful environment.
"It's Soul Deadwood." Xian An glanced at the trees and said. "Typically, it's growing in a place where Yin energy is concentrated, such as a graveyard. From the looks of it, these trees are more than ten million years old."
"You have keen eyes." Yao Jie gave a compliment. "They are indeed ten-million-year-old Soul Deadwood. More precisely, it is twenty-two million years old."
Xian An glanced at Yao Jie and said. "Looks like there are many peerless treasures here."
She was sure that Yao Jie had consumed numerous treasures here in order to reach the Lesser God Realm.
Yao Jie smiled and offered no explanation.
A moment later, a vast courtyard made of dark wood appeared before everyone's eyes.
The first thing Yun Lintian noticed was a plaque with the words "Heaven Devouring" engraved on it. It gave him a sense of familiarity that he couldn't tell where it came from.
Yao Jie landed in front of the courtyard and bowed his head. "They are here, Master."
"Please come in." A deep male voice resounded from within the courtyard.
Hongyue could immediately recognize it. The owner of the voice was none other than Yao Huang.
"Please." Yao Jie extended his hand towards Yun Lintian's group.
Yun Lintian docked the profound ark, and everyone quickly disembarked. Jin Long instructed the twenty Divine Emperors to remain behind while he followed Yun Lintian into the courtyard.
Yun Lintian carefully scanned the entire area and saw no formations here. It was quite unexpected.
Yao Jie noticed this and said with a smile. "There is no need to check it. My master disdains using a trap."
Yun Lintian raised his eyebrows slightly. Yao Jie's master was undoubtedly confident in himself.
"Heh." Master Bai scoffed coldly. He didn't believe it at all.
Yao Jie ignored Master Bai and led everyone into a spacious living room.
There was a round table in the middle of the room, and a handsome young man could be seen sitting in the main seat.
"Master." Yao Jie bowed his head to the young man.
"Thank you." The young man, Yao Huang, smiled faintly and gestured for Yao Jie to move aside.
He opened his hand and said to Yun Lintian's group. "Please take a seat."
Yun Lintian didn't say anything and sat directly across from Yao Huang, followed by Hongyue. Meanwhile, Xian An and Jin Long sat on the left and right sides of Yao Huang.
Yao Jie quickly poured everyone a cup of tea and then stepped back to the side.
Yao Huang looked at Yun Lintian and said. "You are different from what I thought."
