As the saying goes, one's hands are tied.
Even the great emperors were happy to hear that.
Their grudge with the Venerable of Numinous Treasure stemmed from his theft of their divine artifacts.
Now that they'd all been returned to them, even though they'd originally belonged to them, the Venerable of Numinous Treasure was the one who'd returned them.
Their enmity had lessened considerably. If they went overboard, it would indeed be inexcusable.
Furthermore, they'd received other divine artifacts as compensation.
Especially the Ocean Emperor!
The complete set of the Sea God's Set had fallen into his hands. In addition, he'd received a Water Resistance Pearl that could increase the set's combat strength by twenty percent.
What did a twenty percent increase in combat strength mean?
In the ocean, even Zhou Wu was nothing more than a chicken or a stray dog.
However, the one in the most difficult situation was actually Great Emperor Bi 'an. Because the Venerable of Numinous Treasure had taken care of him the most, he'd almost lost his head in anger. Now that he'd returned all his divine artifacts and received several more as compensation, he didn't know what to do.
His earlier words had been too vicious, and there was practically no room for negotiation.
"Didn't you want to withdraw? Hurry up and leave. It just so happens I'm having a headache just looking at you."
The Venerable of Numinous Treasure rolled his eyes. The other great emperors had only returned a small amount of divine artifacts, but this Bi 'an …..
He'd returned a few dozen, and tossed in a dozen more.
These divine items were his lifeblood. Now that he saw the Bi An Immortal Emperor, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"The Venerable of Numinous Treasure!"
Ye Zichen knit his brows. Since Emperor Bi 'an had accepted the divine artifacts, that naturally meant he'd tacitly accepted the Venerable of Numinous Treasure. Now, the Venerable of Numinous Treasure was still bickering.
If Emperor Bi 'an really left in a fit of rage, the losses would outweigh the gains.
The Venerable of Numinous Treasure rubbed his nose. Ye Zichen cupped his hands at Emperor Bi 'an. "Great Emperor, look, your enmity with the Venerable of Numinous Treasure was merely a dispute over divine artifacts. Now that you've returned all the divine artifacts, there's no more enmity between you. How about we call it quits? We're in the God Realm, and Zhou Wu is itching to attack us.
Outside, the yao and demons have joined forces. Our Grand Alliance must unite as one in order to contend against them. Besides, the Venerable of Lingbao has a profound realm, so he can be of great help to us. I know that Bi An Heavenly Emperor is a magnanimous person, so I won't make a fuss about it. Don't you think so? "
Ye Zichen chuckled. He'd given Great Emperor Bi 'an plenty of face.
It was just as Ye Zichen had said: the main grudge between Great Emperor Bi 'an and the Venerable of Numinous Treasure was over divine artifacts. What angered Emperor Bi' an the most was that the Venerable of Numinous Treasure had lived in the Four Direction Palace for several hundred years. Whenever he obtained a divine artifact, the Venerable of Numinous Treasure would steal it.
As time passed, the accumulated resentment grew deeper and deeper.
Now that all the artifacts had been returned, there were no more grudges between him and the Venerable One of Lingbao.
Since Ye Zichen had given him a way out, Great Emperor Bi 'an no longer put on airs. He nodded, snorted, and acknowledged the Venerable of Numinous Treasure's participation.
"Everyone is happy, hahaha …"
The Hermit Emperor walked out and stood between the Venerable of Numinous Treasure and the Bi 'an Emperor. Then, he gave the Ocean Sovereign a meaningful glance, and the Ocean Sovereign immediately understood.
"It wasn't easy for all of you great emperors to gather here. Now that Numinous Treasure's grudge with us has been settled, and with such a powerful ally joining our alliance, our alliance has grown even stronger. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to stay in the Sea of Innocence for a few days and drink to your heart's content? "
"Drinking? I like it," laughed the Venerable of Numinous Treasure.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The great emperors all had official business to attend to, and given the current tumultuous situation, it wasn't appropriate for them to leave their factions for too long.
The Venerable of Numinous Treasure didn't encounter any resistance. During this time, Ye Zichen even added him to the War Preparations Group.
From time to time, he'd see the Venerable of Numinous Treasure joking around with the other great emperors. He didn't seem at all like he'd been fighting to the death half a month ago.
Ye Zichen, Yang Jian, Pu Jingwan, and the Venerable of Numinous Treasure stood at the entrance to the second floor of the Xue Family's prison.
At this time, they had just come up from the second floor of the dungeon. Although there was a restriction between the first and second floor, they could still feel the terrifying and furious pressure from below.
"It seems the one down there is still quite irritable."
Ye Zichen sighed. In the past half a month, he'd already been to the dungeons five times.
Whether it was in the wee hours of the morning, noon, evening, or deep into the night, the Demon Emperor's emotions were never particularly stable. From time to time, he'd fly into a rage. Quite a few general-level experts on the second floor were so frightened by his aura that they aged considerably.
Ye Zichen couldn't get in touch with the Demon Emperor, which made him extremely anxious.
Part of the words left behind by the Master of the Outer Realm Star was about the old Demon Emperor, and the other part was about the end of the era.
Before the end of the era, he had to get in touch with the Demon Emperor.
Time was of the essence, and he was filled with worry.
"How about I just take you down there? No matter how high that old guy's cultivation is, he can't do anything to me," said the Venerable of Numinous Treasure.
"No." Ye Zichen shook his head.
If he wanted to get in touch with the Demon Emperor, he had to wait until his emotions were stable.
He didn't just want to confirm that the person down there was the Demon Emperor. He wanted to communicate with the Demon Emperor and reach some sort of consensus.
This required both emotional stability and absolute clarity of thought.
Otherwise, even if he went, he wouldn't be able to make any substantial progress.
"If you don't need it, then forget it. I'm more than happy to relax." The Venerable of Numinous Treasure shrugged. "To tell you the truth, if I really had to face that old man, even my legs would tremble. Since you don't need me to take you down there by force, and it seems we can't go down there today anyway, let's go. "
Ye Zichen nodded and left the dungeon. As soon as he left, they saw the Great Sage, who'd been missing for half a month, leaning on his staff as he waited anxiously outside the dungeon.
"....."
When Yang Jian and the others saw him, they were speechless. The Venerable of Numinous Treasure looked him up and down curiously.
"You're out." At that moment, the Great Sage smiled and walked over. He glanced at the Venerable of Numinous Treasure and asked, "So this is the Demon Emperor?" "Monkey, what are you talking about?" Yang Jian rolled his eyes. "This is the Venerable of the second floor of the dungeon, and the Demon Emperor …. What are you doing here? Putting on an act? Where'd you run off to for the past half month? Didn't you say you should go down if something happened?
If something really happened, you probably wouldn't even know. "
"You already know!" The Great Sage laughed awkwardly and scratched his head.
"I …. Did you think we'd been in there for half a month?" Yang Jian was speechless. Ye Zichen patted him on the shoulder and signaled for him to stop talking, then turned to the Great Sage. "Where'd you go for the past half month? I sent you messages, but you didn't reply."
"You sent me messages?"
The Great Sage froze, then took out his phone and glanced at his chat window.
Yang Jian, Ye Zichen, and Pu Jingwan had all sent him quite a few messages. The Great Sage chuckled and scratched his head.
"I wasn't paying attention!"
