Chapter 1653 Arrogant
“It’s the Dongruo Holy Land.”
“Holy Son Yake has come in person. He also brought the members of the Sea-ring Sect, the Wind Li Sect, and the other four major sects with him.”
All the news caused the expression on Immortal Master Waterheaven’s face to change.
“What?!”
He suddenly stood up, and his expression was slightly unsightly.
“We’ve made a deal!”
Immortal Master Waterheaven gritted his teeth as he flew out alone.
“Wait a minute.”
Immortal Master Wuluo waited for more than ten seconds before nodding to Zhang Han and the others. “Let’s follow him and watch from behind.”
Mengmeng blinked and asked, “Is there any trouble?”
“It’s big trouble.”
Immortal Master Wuluo took a deep breath and said, “The Sea-ring Sect, the Wind Li Sect, and the other four major sects cooperated with the Highest Clouds Palace a few years ago because we needed to keep Dragon King. We obtained a lot of resources. But in recent years, the Highest Clouds Palace has suffered a lot of losses every year, and we even owe them a lot of resources. Palace Master talked to them a few days ago. He said that he would return a batch of resources every three years. However, they actually came here together with the Holy Land. There must be some changes.”
Immortal Master Wuluo looked a little distressed. “Alas! The Holy Land won’t reason with us first-rate forces. Since the Holy Son of the Holy Land has come in person, I suspect that something about the Dragon King might have been leaked.”
It was not hard to guess.
The Highest Clouds Palace was merely a first-rate faction. It meant nothing to the lofty Holy Land.
Moreover, the Highest Clouds Palace had nothing that attracted those people. The only thing that attracted them was the ancient demonic beast, the Star Demon Dragon King.
Zhang Han said, “Where is the Dongruo Holy Land?”
His expression was relatively calm.
In his opinion, there was nothing unusual about those Holy Lands.
“The Dongruo Holy Land is at the top of the Seventh Mountain,” Immortal Master Wuluo replied.
In the past few years, Mengmeng, Chen Chuan, and Yue Xiaonao had all learned about the branches of the Star Sea.
The Star Sea was a relatively regular spherical nebula, which was divided into the outer ring and the inner ring. At the center was the Nine Mountains Region, which looked like nine mountains.
Each mountain was divided into a mountain base, a mountainside area, and a mountaintop area.
“I’ve never heard of it.”
Zhang Han shook his head slightly. He had never heard of any Dongruo Holy Land before. It might be a small Holy Land.
Zhang Han knew and had even been to some of the large Holy Lands.
“They’ve come with ill intentions.”
Immortal Master Wuluo sighed again. More and more people gathered around him. Soon, they gathered together and flew to the vicinity of the s.p.a.ce station.
Immortal Master Waterheaven was facing thousands of people.
The six cooperative sects were led by the people from the Dongruo Holy Land. Standing in the first position was a burly man who looked to be in his thirties. He was Holy Son Yake.
“Holy Son Yake is at the eighth tier of the Tribulation Stage.”
Immortal Master Wuluo said from the side, “He’s not far from the ninth tier. But the status of the Holy Land is the highest in the Star Sea. Immortal Master Tianyi of the Dongruo Holy Land reached the Peak-Stage Tribulation Stage nine thousand years ago. He is very powerful. Therefore, the Holy Sons of the Dongruo Holy Land have high authority. Look at the three hundred guards around him. They are all at the ninth tier of the Tribulation Stage. More than half of them are stronger than the Palace Master.”
“How formidable!”
Yue Wuwei had a strange look on his face.
He didn’t expect that the guards of a Holy Son of the Dongruo Holy Land would all be at the ninth tier of the Tribulation Stage.
“That’s simply terrifying.”
“Greetings, Holy Son Yake.”
Immortal Master Waterheaven cupped his hands in front of him.
The distance between the two was about a thousand meters, and it was not hard to cover that distance.
But out of habit, they had to keep a distance from each other to prevent anyone from suddenly attacking.
Immortal Master Waterheaven naturally sensed the ill intent of the intruders.
At this moment, over a hundred thousand people from the Highest Clouds Palace had gathered, and they were all standing not too far behind Immortal Master Waterheaven.
Zhang Han and the others were watching in the first row.
Seeing that Holy Son Yake didn’t respond to Immortal Master Waterheaven’s greeting, Zhang Han took the initiative to ask, “May I know why you are here, Holy Son Yake?”
Holy Son Yake didn’t seem to be in the mood to talk. He toyed with a small bird, a palm-sized Exotic Beast, in his hand. Without even looking at Immortal Master Waterheaven, he waved his left hand slightly at the person beside him.
It was obvious that he was ignoring the ones from the Highest Clouds Palace.
Immortal Master Waterheaven fell silent.
“Although your Holy Land is awesome, you, Holy Son Yake, haven’t reached the ninth tier yet. What right do you have to put on airs?”
The Sect Leader of the Sea-ring Sect smiled faintly.
“Let me talk about this as the representative of the six sects. A few years ago, the Highest Clouds Palace had deep cooperation with our six sects. We thought that we could make some money and earn some resources, but we didn’t expect that we would lose a lot of resources. According to the agreement, you have to pay for all the resources that our six sects have lost. Half a year ago, you came to us and said that these resources could be returned in batches according to the year. But we can’t wait and don’t have time to play with you.”
Immortal Master Waterheaven sneered. He really couldn’t stand this kind of person who went back on his word.
“I promised you that I would return you ten percent more of the resources, and you all nodded in agreement. Now, do you simply want to go back on your word?”
“No, no, no.”
The Sect Leader of the Sea-ring Sect shook his head and said, “Waterheaven, I forgot to tell you one thing. In fact, our six sects rely on Holy Son Yake to survive. It is because of his support that we can become first-rate forces. Therefore, the resources you owe us all belong to him. We don’t have a say in the way of getting these resources, and only Holy Son Yake does.”
“Hmm?”
Immortal Master Waterheaven’s face was darkened. “So, what do you think, Holy Son Yake? We can discuss it.”
“b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!”
Immortal Master Wuluo gritted his teeth. “Aren’t they b.a.s.t.a.r.ds? They’re going back on their word because they want even more resources! Motherf.u.c.ker! These disgusting b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!”
Everyone understood what was happening.
The Sect Leaders of the six sects usually had the final say, but they could get more benefits with Holy Son Yake’s help. With the status of the Dongruo Holy Land, they could definitely get more.
This was the situation at hand.
Everyone thought that the two sides would talk about it and reach an agreement.
However, they had never expected that the att.i.tude of Holy Son Yake would be so arrogant.
“Immortal Master Waterheaven, you’re the founder of Highest Clouds Palace, which is located on the Seventh Mountain. You have only a few planets, and your sect is the first-rate force in the Star Sea. There are tens of millions of people like you in the Star Sea, so who gave you the confidence to negotiate with me? Who do you think you are to talk to me?”
Swoos.h.!.+
Immortal Master Waterheaven looked ferocious, and his heart was full of anger. But he knew that if he dared to take action, he would be killed by the guards of Holy Son Yake.
What Holy Son Yake said was right. A first-rate force meant nothing to the Holy Land.
“He’s gone too far.”
Immortal Master Wuluo clenched his fists. “One can be killed but not humiliated.”
“Don’t be impulsive!”
Yue Wuwei nudged his arm and said, “They’re not going to take action. If we don’t restrain ourselves, they may take action.”
He communicated with Zhang Han via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
“Can you defeat them?”
Zhang Han shook his head slightly.
Holy Son Yake had many men with him. Zhang Han had not yet reached the eighth tier of the Tribulation Stage. With so many people fighting at the same time, the situation would definitely be out of control.
However, this also gave Yue Wuwei a rough estimate of Zhang Han’s combat capability.
Now they could fight side-by-side with Immortal Master Waterheaven, but they could only defeat a few of their enemies. In the face of many ninth-tier Immortal Masters, they were not strong enough to defeat all their opponents.
“If he reaches the eighth tier, the current situation can be solved.”
Yue Wuwei thought to himself.
At this time, Immortal Master Waterheaven spoke. He took a deep breath and said, “Holy Son Yake, you’re right. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and prepare the resources.”
“Since you don’t show due respect for my feelings, I don’t intend to listen to you any longer.”
Immortal Master Waterheaven intended to have Holy Son Yake finish his words as soon as possible and then quickly get lost.
“Heh.”
Holy Son Yake looked away from the bird in his hand and glanced at Immortal Master Waterheaven.
He said faintly, “Some news always spreads very slowly. By chance, I heard that you began to raise an ancient demonic beast more than a decade ago. You will pay back the resources you owe with that ancient demonic beast.”
“Ancient demonic beast?”
A cold light flashed through Immortal Master Waterheaven’s eyes.
“How dare you covet the ancient demonic beast?”
He wanted to kill Holy Son Yake.
“My men can hold off those guards for the time being. I will kill him and then run away?”
That ancient demonic beast was the bottom line of Immortal Master Waterheaven.
When Immortal Master Wuluo saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
He immediately said, “I’m sorry, Holy Son Yake. The ancient demonic beast has recognized someone as its master.”
“Its master?”
Holy Son Yake said indifferently, “It will take me a few years to travel around since I left the Holy Land. Waterheaven, I don’t care what method you use. I’ll give you three years to hand over that ancient demonic beast to me. Otherwise, I’ll kill all of you.”
Swoos.h.!.+
Immortal Master Waterheaven was panting and suppressing his anger. He did not answer.
“Let’s go.”
Holy Son Yake turned around lazily and returned to his exclusive s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
After he left, the six sects followed the fleet of the Dongruo Holy Land, but the remaining s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps stayed in place and openly released a lot of high-end investigation equipment that covered the nearby void.
They were overseeing the Highest Clouds Palace blatantly.
If the headquarters of the Highest Clouds Palace mobilized all its members, someone would probably come out to stop them immediately.
“Return to the palace!”
Immortal Master Waterheaven let out a cold shout.
He led the team back to the surface of the planet.
“Palace Master, what should we do about this?”
“The ancient demonic beast is with the Second Elder, and it has already recognized him as its master. How can it be taken out? Unless its master dies, there is no way to undo the recognition.”
“They’ve gone too far! The Dongruo Holy Land is simply bullying us too much!
“He’s just a Holy Son. He’s not even at the ninth tier. He’s as arrogant as the Grand Master of the Holy Land.
“Even many Grand Masters are not arrogant. Only a dabbler like him would be so arrogant.
“‘Kill them all.’ If he dares to come up, I’ll kill him with one move.”
“…”
Many people were filled with indignation.
“This matter…”
Immortal Master Waterheaven frowned as he prepared for something.
Judging from his posture, he would rather fight than hand over the Exotic Beast.
He was too impulsive about the Exotic Beast.
Zhang Han suddenly said, “I have a plan for this matter. Don’t worry.”
Elder Wuluo asked, “What plan?”
Zhang Han, however, shook his head without saying anything.
“Everyone, let’s disperse first. We’ll come up with a plan in a few days,” Immortal Master Wuluo said.
The crowd dispersed.
“What do you think?” Immortal Master Waterheaven asked, “It’s impossible to hand over Lil Beast. I’d rather find a way to kill that Yake.”
