Wu Shattered Star River

#553 - Chapter 553 Kneeling and Kowtow

The expressions of Tuoba Tian Ce and the others hardened, and they felt secretly displeased, but they didn't dare to act presumptuously on the surface.

Xuan Yuan Qing said that the Palace Master of the Divine Ruins Palace didn't have any decree; he was just speaking in a personal capacity.

However, Xuan Yuan Qing's words certainly wouldn't be groundless; he should be subtly expressing the attitude of the Divine Ruins Palace Master.

The Divine Ruins Palace Master didn't want the fighting to continue; too many casualties would also be a loss to the overall strength of the Divine Ruins Palace, after all, both the Inverse Immortal Pavilion and the Azure Clothes Palace were forces under the Divine Ruins Palace.

It's just that!

The three immortal-level forces basically didn't interfere in the matters below, and the Divine Ruins Palace had also previously stated that they wouldn't interfere.

Therefore, some things weren't easy to say openly and could only be expressed subtly through Xuan Yuan Qing…

Tuoba Tian Ce quickly understood and cupped his hands, saying, "Young Master Qing is too serious; it's most appropriate for you to mediate. To be honest, my Inverse Immortal Pavilion doesn't want to start a war either; this battle was initiated by the Azure Clothes Palace. The Heavenly Dragon Sect voluntarily surrendered to the Inverse Immortal Pavilion, so we can't be blamed for that, right?"

Tuoba Tian Ce's words were very skillful; he first expressed his willingness to give Xuan Yuan Qing face and accept mediation.

But he emphasized one point: the Inverse Immortal Pavilion wasn't at fault in this battle, and he subtly put forward a request: they would never give up Heavenly Dragon Island.

Xuan Yuan Qing smiled and turned his gaze towards the direction where Jiang Han disappeared. He asked, "Brother Jiang, what's your opinion?"

Jiang Han's figure flashed out, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "A truce is fine, but I have two conditions!"

Xuan Yuan Qing nodded and said, "Brother Jiang, please speak!"

Jiang Han stretched out his hand and looked at Mi Ling, saying, "First, hand over that wisp of my sister's soul!"

Xuan Yuan Qing's gaze turned to Mi Ling, but the latter hesitated.

Without anything being negotiated and without any promises, she was supposed to hand over Jiang Li's wisp of soul? What if Jiang Han went back on his word?

Seeing that Mi Ling didn't move, Jiang Han spread out his hands and looked at Xuan Yuan Qing, saying, "Brother Xuan Yuan, you see… it's not that I'm not giving you face. You should leave; we'll handle the matters here ourselves!"

"Alright!"

Xuan Yuan Qing smiled and actually turned around, controlling the small boat to sail into the distance.

"Wait!"

Mi Ling and Feng Yin were dumbfounded. Mi Ling hurriedly called out to Xuan Yuan Qing, her eyes filled with resentment and frustration.

How could there be such mediation? Was Xuan Yuan Qing playing with them?

Shouldn't mediation involve each party discussing conditions, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and striving for their own interests, ultimately reaching an agreement?

How could anyone overturn the table at the slightest disagreement?

Wasn't this bullying people?

Xuan Yuan Qing stopped controlling the small boat and looked at Mi Ling, who gritted her teeth and sighed helplessly, "I'll give it!"

"咻!"

Mi Ling flicked out a crystal stone from her hand. She didn't throw it to Jiang Han but to Xuan Yuan Qing.

Xuan Yuan Qing caught the faint white light in his hand, sensed it for a moment, and smiled as he looked at Jiang Han, saying, "There is indeed a wisp of soul inside. Sense it to see if it has your sister's aura. Don't let your Profound Power seep into it, or it will hurt this wisp of soul."

Xuan Yuan Qing threw the soul crystal over, and Jiang Han carefully caught it. He didn't even release his Profound Power, only sensed it for a moment.

When he sensed a familiar aura inside, his heart became somewhat agitated, and his breathing became rapid.

How long had passed?

He left Heavenly Chaos City, went to the Undying Valley, and then declared war on the Azure Clothes Palace.

How many mountains and rivers had he crossed, how many fierce battles had he experienced? How many times had he walked on the line of life and death, and he was even trapped in the Abyss of Time and Space for decades.

Wasn't everything he did for this wisp of soul? Today, his long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled, how could his heart not be excited!

He once again sensed it carefully, confirming that there was indeed Jiang Li's aura inside, and he put it away.

Xuan Yuan Qing wouldn't deceive him; there was no point. Mi Ling also wouldn't dare to give him a fake soul, or he could attack the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace at any time.

Xuan Yuan Qing looked at Jiang Han and asked, "Brother Jiang, do you have any other conditions?"

Jiang Han was silent. His main purpose was Jiang Li's wisp of soul, and the other was to destroy the Azure Clothes Palace.

Since Xuan Yuan Qing came forward to mediate, that represented the attitude of the Divine Ruins Palace to some extent, so he naturally had no chance to destroy the Azure Clothes Palace.

After being silent for a moment, he said, "Mi Ling and Feng Yin must kneel down and kowtow to me in apology, and this matter will be dropped!"

"哗~"

Jiang Han's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, and the surroundings instantly exploded.

Letting Mi Ling and Feng Yin kowtow to him? This was even more excessive than the Divine Ruins Palace Master asking Di Changfeng to cut off his own arm!

Mi Ling and Feng Yin were the heads of the Azure Clothes Palace, super experts who shook the four seas, kowtowing to him, a Celestial-Human Realm cultivator?

If they really did that, how would Mi Ling and Feng Yin ever face anyone again? How would they rule the Azure Clothes Palace?

Jiang Han's great battle with the Azure Clothes Palace during this period had already swept away the Azure Clothes Palace's reputation, and its reputation had reached the bottom.

If the two palace masters knelt down, how would the tens of thousands of disciples of the Azure Clothes Palace raise their heads? So many forces under their command would feel ashamed, and one by one, they might betray them.

The final outcome would be that the Azure Clothes Palace would be unable to recruit new disciples, and the old disciples might all leave.

The forces under their command might disintegrate, and in the end, the Azure Clothes Palace would be destroyed…

This condition was simply more excessive than killing Mi Ling and Feng Yin!

"You're dreaming!"

Feng Yin roared almost without any hesitation, "Even if we all die in battle today, we will never bow our heads!"

Mi Ling also said very firmly, "Jiang Han, you're going too far. If you want to fight to the death, then… as you wish."

"Fight to the death? Do you have that strength?"

A mocking look appeared on the corner of Jiang Han's mouth. He said, "Starting with Chun Yu Yan, how many times has your Azure Clothes Palace tried to harm me? If I didn't have some tricks and luck, I don't know how many times I would have died by now."

"You want to start a war when you want to start a war, and you want to stop a war when you want to stop a war? Since you've made a mistake, you have to bear the consequences. If it wasn't for Brother Xuan Yuan's sake, do you think I would let you go?"

"I'm putting my words here. If you don't kneel down and kowtow today, even if the Inverse Immortal Pavilion calls a truce, I will continue to attack. Until all the forces under your Azure Clothes Palace betray you, until I destroy your Azure Clothes Palace!"

"Don't question my determination. If it's something I, Jiang Han, am determined to do, even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't stop me!"

After Jiang Han finished speaking, the surroundings fell into a dead silence.

If it was someone else who said this, even a peak Earth Immortal, everyone would think he was talking nonsense.

Jiang Han's words, however, carried extraordinary weight!

Because not a single word of Jiang Han's words was false; he indeed had such ability and such determination.

Looking at the entire world, which Celestial-Human Realm cultivator would dare to declare war on a Dominator-level force?

Looking at the history of the human race, which Celestial-Human Realm cultivator could force a Dominator-level force to such a point?

Moreover, Jiang Han's words were reasonable and well-founded!

It was the Azure Clothes Palace that provoked Jiang Han first, and it was the Azure Clothes Palace that stripped Jiang Li of that wisp of soul first. Jiang Han's counterattack was beyond reproach.

Even if Jiang Han didn't accept reconciliation and wanted to fight the Azure Clothes Palace to the end, who could say that he was wrong?

Jiang Han's determination was even more unquestionable!

Back then, when his strength was weak, he dared to start a war with the Azure Clothes Palace and the Star Plucking Pavilion.

Now that his strength was so strong, it would be much easier for him to deal with the Azure Clothes Palace, and he also had the ability to destroy the Azure Clothes Palace.

Not to mention anything else!

Jiang Han could at least beat the Azure Clothes Palace so that they wouldn't dare to show their faces and could only shrink back in the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace.

Their resource islands wouldn't be able to be protected, and the forces under their command would not be able to withstand the pressure and betray them…

Without resource islands and without forces under their command, the Azure Clothes Palace would be left with only the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace, and destruction would be a matter of time.

The Azure Clothes Palace only had Earth Immortal-level experts, but the Space-Time Domain could suppress Earth Immortals!

Kneeling down and kowtowing would make the Azure Clothes Palace's reputation extremely bad, and they might gradually move towards destruction.

Not kneeling down and kowtowing would mean that the Azure Clothes Palace would face Jiang Han's all-round attack. If the Inverse Immortal Pavilion participated, then the Azure Clothes Palace would be destroyed in a short time.

Long pain and short pain, how to choose?
