185 The Price

Those words from the Star God Emperor did make the temperature in the room drop by quite some degrees.

Even Qianye Ying'er looked surprised once she heard this and stared at Nan Wansheng with a sneer.

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor visibly frowned at this news and also added, "Hunting the Wood Spirit Race is a taboo. As the God Emperor of the realm which heads the Southern Divine Region, you should be clear about it."

In response, Nan Wansheng finally spoke, "Qianye Fantian, Zhou Xuzi, the Wood Spirit Orbs are the only things that would have stabilised the cultivation of Qianqiu without any drawbacks, so I did allow him to hunt that race. However, it's not as if he killed every last one of them… So I don't see why you are flaring up over this matter."

Although his voice was spoken calmly, it held a strong arrogance in it. It was as if he wanted to say… So what?!

Qianye Ying'er was the one who stared at Nan Wansheng and said, "If you needed Wood Spirit Orbs, you should have informed this to the Brahma Monarch God Realm first. My father had a deal with the Wood Spirit Race that no Star Realm would hunt them here in the Eastern Divine Region."

"Moreover, it's elementary to mistake the golden energy from the cultivation art of the Brahma Monarch God Realm with that of your Golden Energy from the Southsea Divine Realm. Were you not planning on pushing the blame on the Brahma Monarch God Realm if this massacre was ever found out?"

Qianye Ying'er remained on the offensive when dealing with Nan Wansheng. This was somewhat unexpected for Nan Wansheng.

He didn't think Qianye Ying'er would be going against him publicly.

But Yang Tian seated at the side of the Star God Emperor smiled faintly.

'…Such an act… Is it to show to me that she is not with Nan Wansheng? Qianye Ying'er wants to make use of me… No, specifically speaking, of Xisu. She must have faintly gauged that I am not Xisu, so she has used such a tactic. Does she believe I will fall into her lap just because she is giving a light tap on Nan Wansheng's hand?'

Jasmine continued to remain silent, she turned her eyes to look at Yang Tian, who was just calmly observing right now.

Meanwhile, although Nan Wansheng was surprised to find out that Qianye Ying'er was so against him, he still had to reply right now. Letting this go on would only be bad for himself…

"Haha… You really like to joke, Lady Goddess. You should be aware of my true feelings towards you. How could I think of pushing the blame to the Brahma Monarch God Realm? It's just that I was too worried about my son's future path in cultivation that I gave my permission over this matter… You all can rest assured, I will speak on behalf of the entire Southern Divine Region that not a single soul from the Southern Divine Region would ever hunt the Wood Spirit Race from now on."

His words seemed to have calmed down the atmosphere in the assembly hall.

Nan Wansheng then turned towards the Star God Emperor, "I hope you forgive me and maintain the good relations with the Southsea Divine Realm. At that time, I was just far too emotional when I came to the Star God Realm. After all, it wouldn't be fair if a veteran Star God made a move against someone from junior generation."

He then turned towards Yang Tian, he sneered and added, "But it appears that I was mistaken. This person is not even a Star God. He was just using that little bit of his strength to bully my son…"

Nan Wansheng was apologising to the Star God Emperor while looking down on Yang Tian.

"A verbal apology has no value. Give the Star God Realm, Eternal Heaven Realm, and the Brahma Monarch God Realm 1 Billion Purple Jades each. We can write off this matter then…" The Star God Emperor calmly said as he picked up the tea prepared for him.

"A Million is not enough. 10 Billion to each of the Star Realm should do it. Otherwise…" The one who added this was Qianye Fantian.

Nan Wansheng internally grounded his teeth. He never imagined that he would have to pay such an astronomical amount at this meeting.

"Very well… I will need to return and gather that amount myself." Nan Wansheng said very slowly, looking at the faces of Zhou Xuzi and Qianye Fantian, who nodded soon enough.

They knew that no matter how daring Nan Wansheng was, he didn't dare to take on the combined might of the Eternal Heaven Realm, Star God Realm, and the Brahma Monarch God Realm. In fact, the Brahma Monarch God Realm alone was enough to deal with the Southsea Divine Realm.

Soon enough, the meeting was adjourned… The God Emperors remained behind to finalize the negotiations, while the others were asked to leave the Assembly Hall.

As Yang Tian and Jasmine left the Assembly Hall, they were now roaming around the area where Yang Tian had taken a walk when he had just arrived in the Eternal Heaven Realm.

At this time, Qianye Ying'er approached them, along with Gu Zhu.

"It has been a long time, Xisu." Qianye Ying'er spoke while looking at Yang Tian.

Yang Tian glanced at her through the corner of his eyes and said neutrally, "We can talk later. For now, I wish to take a walk with my sister right now."

"I understand…" Qianye Ying'er was surprised to hear that she had been rejected by him. However, she immediately turned around with Gu Zhu following her closely.

Jasmine looked at Yang Tian and spoke, "You aren't going to attack her yet?"

"Her punishment will be different. I want to wreck her entirely."

"Anyway, let's go and talk to Aster now…"

With this, Yang Tian and Jasmine went to Aster, the Heavenly Jade Star God.

"Aster, there is a question for you. Between my father and me, who are you going to support?"

"Huh? What do you mean, Royal Prince?! Are you planning to go against the Star God Emperor?" Heavenly Jade Star God Aster asked Yang Tian, very startled at his words.

"Yes. That old fool is going to use a forbidden art to sacrifice all the Star Gods and use their power to try and ascend to the True God Realm. Your twin brother is going to be sacrificed as well…"

Heavenly Jade Star God Aster was too startled at this news and couldn't make up her mind over it, "…What happens if I join the Star God Emperor?"

"I don't need to say it, do I?" Yang Tian spoke with a cold intent in his eyes.

"If you are worried about whether I can defeat the Star God Emperor or not, then relax. I don't need you to fight. I just need you to speak what I tell you to say in the Star God Realm. That's all…"

The Heavenly Jade Star God Aster was witty and understood what he meant, "So, I can join the winning side without an issue? Alright, I will stay neutral when you make a move against the Star God Emperor."

Yang Tian and Jasmine soon walked away, as they were walking, Yang Tian told Jasmine, "Looks like we might have another enemy."

Jasmine was surprised, "I thought that it went relatively smoothly. But still, it would be a pity if she is our enemy… We would lose another Star God under us.

"Well, it doesn't matter… We will raise another Star God, someone loyal only to us."

"Mhm~ Alright," Jasmine replied, understanding the situation.
