Chapter 2229: Chapter 2229 Trump Card of Threats
Ye Liuyun and the members of the Alliance of Goddesses tensed up, uncertain of what other tricks he had hidden up his sleeve.
"What does this have to do with us? We never supported Ye Liuyun. We’re just here for the spectacle!" Liang Yuan argued.
Unbothered by Liang Yuan’s words, Ye Liuyun turned to Mo Xiaotian and sneered, "Those who walk the path of injustice will meet their own demise. You’re digging your own grave, so don’t blame anyone else!"
Mo Xiaotian scoffed. "Enough talk. Let me give you all a little surprise!"
With a single wave of his hand, a swirling black portal tore open in midair. An eerie, foreign aura spilled forth, saturating the surroundings with an oppressive and unsettling energy.
"Foreign race!"
Everyone cried out in their hearts.
Then, from within the portal, a golden-armored figure emerged. Towering at twice the height of an average human, the Golden-armoured foreign race radiated overwhelming power.
Ye Liuyun and his clone locked their Golden Phantom Eyes onto the figure, both drawing sharp breaths.
Though this foreign race was at the peak of the ninth realm like Liang Yuan, his genuine energy was several times more refined. His Divine Soul radiated power far beyond anything they had encountered.
"How can this foreign race be so powerful?" Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but marvel. "It seems I’ve completely underestimated what true strength means."
Mo Xiaotian turned to the protector and spoke with unexpected reverence. "Protector, these people seek to overthrow my rule!"
"Roar!"
The foreign race let out a deafening bellow, unleashing an oppressive wave of energy. His Earth Eye swept over the gathered martial practitioners with utter disdain.
Then, from the portal behind him, ten more foreign warriors emerged. Even the weakest expert among them matched Liang Yuan in strength.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan wasted no time in leading the experts of the Alliance of Goddesses to retreat behind Ye Liuyun’s forces.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun had already signaled everyone to prepare for battle.
Watching Liang Yuan and the others cower, Ye Liuyun frowned.
He could tolerate their disregard for the rules when dealing with the five elders. But now, in the face of a foreign race, they chose to retreat? His disappointment in the Alliance of Goddesses deepened.
Qiong Qi merely shrugged and said, "They won’t fight unless the foreign race is at their doorstep. That’s just how they are."
"The Alliance of Goddesses is the same. They send others to war while sitting comfortably on the sidelines. But when it’s their turn, suddenly, the rules change."
Holding up a token, Mo Xiaotian smirked. "You think this is bad? I can open the teleportation gate with a single press!"
"Once that happens, the God Realm will be theirs to roam freely. Are you ready for that battle? Hahaha!"
Seeing fear flicker across their faces and Ye Liuyun remain silent, Mo Xiaotian burst into manic laughter.
In fact, Ye Liuyun was thinking about how to eliminate this group of people.
Meanwhile, Qiong Qi had confirmed that a destructive Formation surrounded the portal. The token in Mo Xiaotian’s hand could truly destroy it.
Ye Liuyun, disillusioned with the Alliance of Goddesses, had no intention of demonstrating his full strength in their presence.
At this point, he was asking Book Demon if he could bring a soul stronger than his own Divine Soul into his Ocean of Consciousness while time stood still.
The Book Demon smirked. "Why not? It’s just like taking down a warrior. He’s a statue, an easy target, yours to finish however you please!"
"Mo Xiaotian, are you mad? If you do this, you will be known as a criminal throughout the God Realm!"
Currently, Liang Yuan tried to reason with Mo Xiaotian in all seriousness.
However, Mo Xiaotian responded with an unfazed stare and the words, "What is there to worry about now that I have lost everything?"
"As long as you shut down this teleportation gate, everything is open to discussion. You can make any demands," Liang Yuan generously suggested.
Mo Xiaotian shot a triumphant glance at Ye Liuyun before turning to Liang Yuan. “Have Ye Liuyun withdraw his troops, disband his army, and return my people to me!”
"I will remain the Prince of Gods, and your Alliance of Goddesses can carry on with whatever you please. Our paths won’t interfere!"
Liang Yuan agreed without hesitation. "I can accept all your terms. But you must promise never to release the foreign race again! This passage must remain sealed!"
Ye Liuyun watched their exchange with an icy gaze, remaining silent.
But Mo Xiaotian scoffed in defiance. "That, I cannot promise you! This is my trump card—my lifeline. There’s no way I’m giving it up. Besides, you’re in no position to bargain with me."
"If you refuse, the foreign race can charge in right now. At worst, we all go down together!"
He even put on a show, pretending to press down as if to seal their fate.
Startled, Liang Yuan immediately shouted, "Don’t be reckless! We agree! whatever you want, we agree!"
"Now that’s more like it!" Mo Xiaonian sneered triumphantly, casting a mocking glance at Ye Liuyun. "Didn’t see this coming, did you? No matter how skilled you are, you still can’t outmaneuver me! The throne of the Prince of God is beyond your reach!"
Ye Liuyun scoffed disdainfully. "Hah! A traitor who has thrown in his lot with the foreign race. Do you really think you’re worthy of being the Prince of God? You expect me to yield to the likes of you?"
"Enough with the nonsense! Ye Liuyun, withdraw your forces immediately!" Liang Yuan commanded.
Yet, Ye Liuyun retorted, "Why should I listen to you?"
"You...! I am an elder of the Alliance of Goddesses! I speak on its behalf and order you to withdraw your forces!" Liang Yuan shouted, his voice brimming with frustration.
Ye Liuyun simply scoffed and retorted, "And why should I obey you?"
Mo Xiaotian seized the opportunity to threaten Liang Yuan again, sneering, "Hey, look at this insolent brat. Since he refuses to cooperate, don’t blame me for what happens next!"
To placate him, Liang Yuan immediately responded, “Rest assured, the Alliance of Goddesses will handle this matter!”
He then unleashed a powerful aura toward Ye Liuyun, his voice heavy with threat. “Ye Liuyun, do you really intend to make an enemy of the Alliance of Goddesses?”
Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow and countered, “Can you truly speak on behalf of the Alliance of Goddesses?”
"Of course! I am acting under the direct orders of the Alliance of Goddesses. Stand down immediately!"
Ye Liuyun didn’t respond with anger. Instead, he let out a sharp laugh and turned to the gathered martial practitioners. "No wonder the foreign races dare to invade the God Realm! The mighty Alliance of Goddesses? Just a spineless lot, groveling at their feet!"
"I, Ye Liuyun, am not part of the Alliance of Goddesses, nor am I bound by its authority!"
At that moment, Ye Liuyun’s expression darkened. His gaze locked onto Liang Yuan as he issued a chilling warning, "Try threatening me one more time and see if any of you make it out alive."
"Kill!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted as tens of thousands of ninth-rank martial practitioners shouted in unison. Liang Yuan, Mo Xiaotian, and even the foreign race were shivered by the sheer force of their voices.
The foreign race had remained still, not out of hesitation but calculation. Surrounded by an overwhelming number of martial practitioners, they had no desire to fight a futile battle and perish here.
If wiping them out required no effort, they would have struck long ago!
Liang Yuan was truly one to bully the weak and fear the strong. Then, he immediately withdrew his oppressive aura!
They had already lost two elders in battle, and Liang Yuan himself was injured. Though five of them remained, if a fight truly broke out, they stood no chance against such overwhelming numbers.
The real problem was that Liang Yuan was injured. If a fight broke out, there was no way he’d be able to escape.
