However, these words caused dissatisfaction among the abyssal creatures...
Their strength was so formidable, yet they now had to always lurk in the shadows and were not even allowed to attack humans. One can hardly express how frustrated they felt!
"Emperor, with our strength, if we all made a move, we could surely annihilate that Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect. There's no need for you to be so cautious," one exclaimed.
"Yes, aren't they just a few Hyper Douluo? Under our siege, they would certainly fall, and the rest are insignificant ants, not worth worrying about!"
"Exactly, exactly, humans are merely prey to us abyssal creatures. Just eat them, why overthink it!"
"Emperor, you aren't afraid that after we devour those humans, our strength will surpass yours, are you?"
Upon hearing these words, the face of the Abyssal Emperor turned much colder...
Clearly, these creatures had quite a few objections towards him!
It seemed necessary to let them know who truly ruled the abyssal creatures!!
With that thought, he spoke in an emotionless tone, "It seems you do not plan to follow my commands anymore..."
As he spoke, he slowly raised the super divine weapon in his hand, the Heavenly Saint Abyss Sea God Spear...
As a grey, evil light burst forth, the abyssal creatures felt a sense of dread and immediately wanted to retreat...
But it was already too late...
With excruciating pain pulsing from their hearts, they were forced to fall to the ground with a "thump"...
Each second, they suffered torment and even emitted agonized roars...
When he deemed it enough, the Abyssal Emperor finally stopped his actions...
The abyssal creatures then had the chance to catch their breath, looking at their leader again with eyes full of deep caution and fear...
The Abyssal Emperor spoke again, "I created you because you have utility value; if not, I can easily kill you!"
"Now, does anyone still have objections to my decision?"
He felt no sympathy for these creatures, as the very nature of the abyssal creatures was to grow stronger through devouring each other!
To put it bluntly, had he not manipulated them during their creation, he might have been besieged by now!
These abyssal creatures, though dissatisfied at heart, dared not voice out anything...
The Abyssal Emperor then showed a satisfied expression, "Since none of you have objections, that's settled!"
"Do not let me find out who acts independently, or else...face the consequences yourself!!"
Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief, "Yes, Emperor!!"
They might not attack the Great Sects, but could they not attack a lone human?
...
The next day!
Ning Fengzhi and others then decided to set off to the Hao Tian Clan...
And as the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Yuanzhen naturally joined as one of the members...
However, the rest of the elders were filled with worry...
"Sect Master, let us go with you. Those old folks at Hao Tian Clan are not so easy to persuade," one said.
"Yes, if the negotiations go poorly, who knows if we ended up having to fight, it's better to have more people for support!"
"Exactly, exactly, now that the abyssal creatures have been cleared out, let the disciples handle the aftermath. We are free anyway, might as well all go together!"
Hearing their words, Yu Yuanzhen was tempted but still shook his head in refusal...
"That will not do. Though these abyssal creatures have not launched another attack currently, we cannot guarantee the same will hold for the next few days!"
"Thus, the sect still needs you elders for defense. I will go alone!"
However, the elders did not give up and tried to persuade him again...
Yu Yuanzhen spoke in a firm tone, "Enough, that's an order!"
"Besides, this trip includes Bone Douluo and Sect Master Ning. No matter how stubborn the elders of Hao Tian Clan are, they wouldn't be foolish enough to attack us!"
Upon hearing this, the elders sighed. No matter how worried they were, it wasn't proper to contradict...
"If that's the case, Sect Master, you must be careful!"
"Of course, the same goes for everyone from Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"
Ning Fengzhi gave a slight smile and reassured, "Rest assured, Elders, we are here to negotiate, there won't be any danger!"
Following that, he turned to Yu Yuanzhen, "Sect Master Yu, there should be no delay, let's set out immediately!"
The latter naturally had no objections, "Good, the sooner we handle this, the sooner we can return!"
Though the elders were there to maintain order, he was still somewhat anxious about leaving the sect!
So, the group left the territory of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect and headed for Hao Tian Clan...
On the way...
Yu Yuanzhen noticed the always silent, distinctively poised Xue Qinghe and couldn't help but ask...
"Sect Master Ning, is this person also a disciple of your Seven Treasures Glaze Sect?"
In an instant, both Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong's expressions stiffened...
Because...
The events of yesterday had been so urgent that they even forgot to introduce him!
Ning Fengzhi coughed and seriously said, "Sect Master Yu, let me introduce him. This is not a disciple of my Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, but Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire!"
Then, he transmitted with his spiritual power to Xue Qinghe, "Qing He, I'm sorry for not introducing you yesterday!"
Xue Qinghe didn't mind and simply smiled...
On the other hand, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, "What? The Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire??"
He had thought the person was a talented disciple of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
He hadn't expected this additional identity!
With that in mind, he quickly said, "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen, at your service, Your Highness!"
Although he was the leader of a sect, he still needed to show his respect to the royal household!
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe responded in a calm tone, "Sect Master Yu is too courteous. Though I am the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, I am also a humble disciple of my teacher. Please, feel at ease!"
This respectful yet confident gesture impressed Yu Yuanzhen...
Sure enough, he was the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire. Flawless!
No wonder Sect Master Ning took him as a disciple!
"Since Your Highness says so, then forgive me for not standing on ceremony,"
"Does your presence here reflect the intentions of His Majesty Xue Ye?"
Perhaps, it was to gauge the loyalty of the upper three families towards the royal house?
Faced with this straightforward question, Xue Qinghe glanced at Ning Fengzhi, then clarified, "Sect Master Yu is mistaken. My accompanying my teacher here is merely a coincidence and has no other implications!"
Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard, "I see... However, Sect Master Ning not introducing Your Highness to me last night did make me appear somewhat impolite!"
Ning Fengzhi didn't deny it, owning up to his mistake boldly...
"Sect Master Yu is right. I indeed acted improperly this time, and I ask for your understanding!"
