"Primordial realm?" Huai An snorted coldly. His eyes were extremely cold as he growled, "We need to properly investigate this matter and see just which Primordial realm expert is bold enough to oppose our Heavenly Demon Religion like this. If it were a battle between Primordial realm experts, it wouldn't be a big deal even if they lost. However, as a Primordial realm expert, they actually laid their hands on a Divine King. Our Heavenly Demon Religion will never let this matter go. We will definitely pursue this matter to the end. "
Huai An stared at the divine king sternly when he reached there. He said, "Pingtian, let go of Yaxi Lian!"
The divine king smiled, "Huai An, it looks like Yaxi Lian holds quite a high position in your heart from how anxious you are."
With that, the divine king could not help but tighten his grip on Yaxi Lian's head. Primordial realm laws vaguely condensed as he threatened Huai An, "It's not impossible for me to let go of Yaxi Lian, but your Heavenly Demon Religion has to withdraw immediately."
"Withdraw? That's impossible! " Huai An said coldly. His eyes were extremely cold. In particular, when he looked at Jianchen, there was heavy killing intent.
If it were not for the fact that the Primordial realm expert behind Jianchen had captured Yaxi Lian today, Huai An would never have been forced into such a passive situation.
All of this was caused by Jianchen.
"We can't let go of Jianchen. Let's not even talk about how great of a problem he will become once he matures. Just the matter of Yaxi Lian is unforgivable," Huai An was filled with killing intent.
At that moment, he was tempted to ignore the divine king's obstruction and directly charge over to kill Jianchen. However, Yaxi Lian was in the divine king's hands, so he did not dare to act recklessly.
"Since your Heavenly Demon Religion refuses to withdraw, I can only disregard my status and personally kill the commander of the seventh army of the Heavenly Demon Religion. That way, I can weaken your Heavenly Demon Religion's strength," the divine king's voice became cold. It was filled with determined killing intent.
He was a decisive person. Since they could not come to an agreement, he would not spare Yaxi Lian's life.
"Stop!"
Just when the divine king was about to kill Yaxi Lian, vice-leader Huai An suddenly called out.
The divine king was emotionless. Powerful Primordial realm laws had already gathered around his finger that remained on Yaxi Lian's head.
"Huai An, have you made up your mind?" Emperor Hirata asked, glaring at Huai An.
"Pingtian, I'll tell you the truth. You can't kill Yaxi Lian. If you really do, your Divine Kingdom of Pingtian will be destroyed. This is because Yaxi Lian is the direct disciple of one of the eight elders, the Fox Saint Elder. At the same time, she's his only disciple. You should be able to guess just how great her status in the Fox Saint Elder's heart is, "Huai An said sternly.
"The Fox Saint Elder?" The divine king frowned. His understanding of the Heavenly Demon Religion was limited to the branch on the Cloud Plane. However, the Fox Saint Elder had clearly surpassed the branch on the Cloud Plane.
"I never thought she would actually be the Fox Saint Elder's direct disciple. Pingtian, you really can't kill Yaxi Lian. This is because once the Fox Saint Elder arrives, no one in the Southern Region, other than the Eternal Blood Sun Dynasty, is a match for him in the ancient dynasties. "
At this moment, an old voice suddenly rang out in the divine king's head.
The divine king knew who the voice belonged to. It was a Primordial realm ancestor of the imperial family of the Heavenly Moon Empire. He watched over the imperial family and used the powerful senses of the soul of a Primordial realm expert to communicate with him from extremely far away.
The divine king thought quickly. He said to Huai An, "So what if she's the Fox Saint Elder's direct disciple? Casualties are unavoidable in a battle between two armies. If the Fox Saint Elder really is bold enough to come, do you think the Blood Sun Empire will just turn a blind eye to it? It's impossible for me to yield to her for no reason. "
Huai An's face became uneasy. Only after a very long moment of silence did he say, "Pingtian, it's impossible for us to retreat. However, I can give you seven days to recuperate as a condition of exchanging for Yaxi Lian."
Huai An was helpless after being forced into such a situation. Yaxi Lian's identity was just too special. If anything happened to her here, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Seven days is too short. A month," the divine king said coldly.
"Ten days!" Huai An said coldly.
In the end, the two sides agreed to a ceasefire of half a month.
Although half a month was very short, it was a great buffer for the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. It allowed them to make more preparations.
Whether it was the battle between the Overgods or the battle between the Divine Kings, they all stopped at that moment. The Overgods and Divine Kings on both sides all returned to their respective camps.
However, their numbers had decreased drastically compared to before the battle began.
Over a third of the Overgods had died, and several Divine Kings had died as well.
However, when they saw Jianchen standing beside the divine king, many of them were filled with deep surprise.
"Brother, this is fantastic. I knew you'd be fine," Seiyu rushed over to Jianchen as soon as possible. Undisguised joy and joy filled her face.
At this moment, Seiyu was covered in blood. Many wounds had appeared on her body, making her look vicious and terrifying.
Behind her, Houston, Ruijin, Honglian, Black Fish, and so on all let out a sigh of relief when they saw Jianchen return safely. They all smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
They were all injured to varying degrees. In particular, Black Fish was the most heavily injured.
"Let's go. Let's go back first," Jianchen did not exchange too many pleasantries. He vanished from the fortress with them as soon as possible.
There was a camp within the fortress. Many divine halls stood at the centre of the camp. Every single divine hall represented a large organisation.
The divine king had set up a divine hall in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian as a place for everyone to rest.
Jianchen directly entered the divine hall with Seiyu and the others. He directly arrived in a secret room and took out the best healing pills he had purchased from the imperial capital of the Xuandao Dynasty.
"These pills are all of extraordinary quality. Consume them quickly and heal your wounds," Jianchen said to everyone.
Sacredfeather and the others did not stand on ceremony. They directly picked up the saint healing pills and swallowed them. They began to recover from their injuries and the overused origin energy.
"Brother, someone has taken sister Mu 'er away," Seiyu said. He became rather depressed as soon as he mentioned this.
"What? Someone has taken Mu 'er away? " Jianchen was stunned. A shocking light shone from his eyes as a powerful presence radiated from him, "What's going on? Who took Mu 'er away? "
"It's a sect called the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound …" They explained everything in a few simple sentences.
"The Skyfire Plane, the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound …" Jianchen instead calmed down after learning about what had happened. He murmured softly before raising his head to look at the ceiling of the secret room.
His gaze seemed to be able to see through all obstructions and into outer space. He saw the Skyfire Plane that was extremely distant from the Cloud Plane, where he had never even heard of it before.
"Mu 'er, I will come and find you. That day won't be too far away …" Jianchen secretly made up his mind.
