Chapter 967 - Envoy Taiji



Chapter 967: Envoy Taiji

Outside of Yuanlian World within a spacious giant ship.

At this moment, Feng Taiji was looking forward in a cold and arrogant manner.

Within the wide hall, the floor was made out of gold bricks. There weren’t many decorations and all the chairs and tables were made out of expensive Deep Fragrance Wood.

There wasn’t any Essence burning but it still smelled really fragrant and refreshing.

He recognized both Tanjing and Hong Jiuchen who both sat to the left.

The ones to the right were a little unexpected. It was actually Mufang and Fuyue who shouldn’t have appeared here.

Those two should have been the people he visited next. At this moment, they were actually here sitting in the same hall as Hong Jiuchen and Tanjing.

As expected, they had already joined hands. They were doing all this to tell him that the four powers were prepared to work together and fight as one?

How cunning…

Feng Taiji mocked and didn’t take it to heart.

Before coming, he was already prepared for all sorts of situations.

His expression was still cold and calm and really arrogant.

Since Zong Shou wanted the negotiations here to fail, then there was no need to be polite to these people.

His gaze landed on the elevated platform, where a 60-year-old man was sitting, his hair was white and he looked really gentle and merciful.

Feng Taiji looked out and felt that the person was tough to read.

His aura was innate making Feng Taiji think back to those few Formless God Demons.

Actually, there weren’t many similarities between the two. He only grouped them together because of the old man’s ability.

If it was as he expected, then this person was the one in charge here.

A God Realm Cultivator of the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty did have a higher status than Hong Jiuchen.

However, Feng Taiji didn’t need to show him any respect.

He swept the hall and noticed that there were only 5 chairs. He could only stand and speak.

They were obviously planning to humiliate him and suppress his flames.

Feng Taiji shook his head and suppressed his urge to just wave his sleeves and leave. He cupped his fists and directly openly asked, “To place me under soft arrest here for a month, is that how you receive guests? If you aren’t willing to see me, you can just directly reject and let both sides just decide it on the battlefield. Why do you need to play such tricks? What a joke!”

Mufang and Fuyue were still okay but Hong Jiuchen’s face turned green.

The old man frowned and was surprised.

He thought that Zong Shou sent someone over for answers and the person would most probably be direct.

However, he didn’t expect that his tone would be so firm and that he would have no worries at all.

He pondered about his words and was just about to open his mouth when Feng Taiji took the front foot, “Within this year, my Great Gan has been invaded so many times, so many Celestial Realm Cultivators interfered in war matters. The 4 of you broke the rules! A month ago, the Formless God Demon personally admitted, we also have several Celestial Realm Cultivators as evidence so don’t try to deny it!”

When Hong Jiuchen heard this, his eyes flashed and he broke into a laugh.

“You also said that it was a Formless God Demon, how can they be used as evidence? Who knows if they are trying to sour the relationship?”

Feng Taiji glanced over and shook his head, not bothering to argue with him.

“Spoil relationship? I am confident I have the ability to differentiate between real and fake, there is no need to say anymore. As for what the real situation was all of us know deep down!”

When he said this, his gaze was like a blade as he stared at the old man.

“What my Ruler wants is for the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty to hand Hong Jiuchen’s head over to appease our anger as well as 5 small-sized worlds as compensation. If you do that, then the matter today will end.”

Hong Jiuchen’s eyes turned red, filled with both shock and rage.

He was not sure if the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty would really do what Zong Shou wanted, to throw him out to end the matter peacefully.

Only when he heard the last few words did he calm down. He felt like the situation was quite preposterous and he really wanted to just laugh out loud.

How crazy! They had no skill at all and wanted Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty to hand over 5 small-sized worlds?

How was there such a simple thing in the world? What rights did they have?

No one would agree to that.

Who knew if this was Feng Taiji taking matters into his own hands or if he was following Zong Shou’s instructions?

If it really was the latter, then this person was really insane!

He turned his head to look above and as expected the old man’s expression changed.

“5 small-sized worlds? What a big appetite!”

The person who spoke was Mufang and he placed his wine cup down as he laughed coldly.

“Even I, the guest, can’t stand it anymore. Does Brother Zong not think that he is asking for too much? You only have half a small-sized world and actually dare…”

The voice didn’t continue as Feng Taiji said impassively, “I am not hiding from you all, the other three sides are the same! Since you are all here, then at least I don’t have to go one by one. All of you need to hand over the head of the person in charge and also hand over 5 small-sized worlds as compensation. Only then can this matter come to an end!”

The hall was totally silent. Everyone looked at Feng Taiji in disbelief.

His words didn’t only target the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty.

He included all the four sides.

What was this person planning? With such conditions, even if the four sides didn’t plan to join hands, at this moment, they were all forced to stand together.

After a long silence in which one could hear a pin drop, in the end, it was still the old man who opened his mouth.

“Aren’t your conditions asking for a little too much? Not to mention, the words of the Formless God Demon are a little suspicious, even if they are true, there is no reason for my Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty to give up land for this!”

Feng Taiji didn’t even bat an eye, saying expressionlessly, “Is my Ruler’s life not worth 5 small-sized worlds? Do you all think you can scheme him like this? If I let you all off and others learn from you, then what will happen? My Great Gan has lost hundreds of thousands of people, will they be lost just like that? There is no need to be angry about it, you just have to say whether you will give us what we want?”

The old man couldn’t maintain that calm and gentle attitude and green veins appeared on his face as he was obviously suppressing the anger in his chest. He laughed coldly, “Then, what if our Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty is reluctant?”

“Then, of course we will fight!”

Feng Taiji didn’t even hesitate, replying without even thinking. His tone was really firm, Sword Intent exploding out from his body like a sword that was pulled out of its sheath.

“Ruler said that if you don’t give it up, then our Great Gan will just come and take it for ourselves!”

The old man was stunned and then burst out laughing.

“What? Take it by yourself! I, Guyue, have lived for 6,000 years and this is the first time I have seen such an arrogant kid who overestimates himself so much!”

The laughter didn’t stop as it reverberated through the hall.

The Spiritual Sense spread out and caused a storm to rise up within the hall.

Feng Taiji was the target and he was pressed down by the Spiritual Sense such that his muscles and bones made soft cracking sounds.

Instantly, there were many hidden injuries and numerous cracks appeared in his bones.

He tasted blood on his lips and there was a metallic taste which he swallowed down. He still stood proudly and his heart did not waver at all.

He was a proud person, so how would he yield in front of such people?

Hatred and a vengeful energy rose up as he laughed coldly, “If you have the skill, then just kill me on the spot here!”

Seemingly sensing that Feng Taiji couldn’t take it, Guyue finally stopped smiling. His face was cold and serious and he didn’t speak as he entered deep thought.

Hong Jiuchen scoffed coldly, “Wishful thinking! You can scram! Go back and tell Zong Shou that he is just a kid abandoned by the Lu Family, bloodline of the Seven-Tailed bastard Fox. He is just fortunate to have the position he has today. Don’t think that just because he has an End Realm as a teacher that he can do whatever he wants! He thinks he can make our Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty give up land for him, he is not worth it!”

Feng Taiji was startled when he heard this. Abandoned kid of Lu Family? Seven-Tailed bastard Fox descendant?

These people knew all about Zong Shou’s background.

Although he was filled with rage, he didn’t say anything, only nodding his head slightly.

“I will spread the message over to Ruler!”

This person had spoken the truth. However, what would happen after he told Zong Shou was out of his control.

Based on what he knew, this person was not someone that could insult and humiliate Zong Shou.

If it was possible, he also wanted to raise his sword to kill this person right now.

He still continued to look at Guyue. Only this God Realm Venerable had the power to represent the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty.

The old man squinted his eye and a moment later he consolidated his thoughts.

“Envoy, I can’t decide this matter and have to ask the Celestial Dynasty for a reply. However, the Saint Emperor most probably won’t care. Please tell your Ruler to think about it and not act on impulse.”

His tone was still really calm.

“Naturally, if he wants to fight, then our Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty isn’t afraid!”

Hong Jiuchen was really surprised. He didn’t expect that Guyue would take such a back foot.

Only when he saw the deep mocking intent in his eyes did he calm back down.

He knew that he was definitely planning something. There was no way to improve the situation today.

It was suspicious why Zong Shou was so confident, so he definitely had something to rely on. Feng Taiji’s words seemed like someone who was provoking, not like someone who was just faking his strength.

He kept silent and didn’t make a sound.

Feng Taiji nodded his head, “Understood!”

Then, he looked toward the others with a questioning gaze.

Mufang was more careful and just said flatly, “This matter is really important and Mufang needs to ask the few Elders of the guild. Whether we will fight or have peace will be decided by them.”

Fuyue scoffed, “Tell Zong Shou, that arrogant kid! Does he really think that he is an important person? Even if we did all that, what can he do?”

Tanjing was really shrewd and he also said calmly, “Tianfang Guild will not give in! I will tell my Elders and if they are willing to have peace, then I will give up my life.”

Feng Taiji’s brow relaxed, and without saying anything more, he turned around and took his leave.

His envoy matter was concluded. Next, there would definitely be a huge storm!
