Ling Chen took a step forwards as he darkly said to the Forgotten Emperor, "Because of your selfish desires, you accused Ling Tian City of crimes and personally led an army to attack Ling Tian City, causing massive damage to Ling Tian City and causing 19 innocent Fairies to die … do you admit to all of this?"
Just as Ling Chen finished speaking, the Underworld King's massive eyes glared at the Forgotten Emperor. The ferocious gaze caused the Forgotten Emperor's body to tremble, and his legs almost gave way. The Forgotten Emperor hurriedly nodded, stuttering as he said, "I admit … I admit …"
Under the Underworld King's gaze, even if this wasn't the truth, the Forgotten Emperor wouldn't dare to say anything. Otherwise, the Underworld King would blast him with his Underworld God Cannon. With the Underworld King's power, torturing a human emperor like him would be like playing with ants on the side of the road.
"It is only right and proper for one to repay one's debts. Because of your selfish desires, you attacked Ling Tian City and killed Ling Tian City's people. As the Vice-Lord of Ling Tian City, shouldn't I take revenge on the Forgotten City? "Ling Chen's expression was calm as he asked with a sharp gaze.
"You should …" The Forgotten Emperor replied with great difficulty. No matter how brave he was, he didn't dare to shake his head.
Ling Chen coldly laughed, "Then isn't the Forgotten City in its current state because of you?"
"Yes …"
"No matter if it's Ling Tian City or the Forgotten City, the main culprit is you, the Forgotten Emperor, right?"
The Forgotten Emperor's face became incredibly pale. He raised his head and looked at the Forgotten God Representative as he trembled, then looked at the Underworld King as he lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Yes …"
"Since you've admitted to it, the solution is much simpler." Ling Chen slightly grinned. "Originally, since you attacked Ling Tian City and caused us to sacrifice 19 Fairies, I should have taken your entire Forgotten City to accompany them in death. However, since the Forgotten God Representative has personally come, I'm just a small player, so how can I not give her face … "
From the beginning, Ling Chen's attitude had been extremely extreme, and the Underworld King had been extremely domineering. Now, it seemed like he was giving face to the Forgotten God Representative, causing her face to darken. Ling Chen stared at the Forgotten Emperor as he said, "If you want me to remove the 1 million Undead and the Phoenix God Heavenly Flames, that's fine … but you, the Forgotten Emperor, must agree to 3 of my conditions. Otherwise, no matter if it's the 1 million Undead or the Phoenix God Heavenly Flames, they will ravage the Forgotten City until it is completely destroyed!"
"Go … go ahead." By now, the Forgotten Emperor could no longer rely on the Forgotten God Representative because the other side was the Underworld King. The Forgotten God Representative did not have the right to suppress the Underworld King, and if she wanted to bargain with the Moon Deities, the 3 Moon Goddesses would have to personally come. In his current situation, he had no choice but to obediently obey.
"The first condition is that you publicly apologise to Ling Tian City in front of the entire Forgotten Continent and personally go to the Forgotten City to apologise to the 19 Fairies who died in battle!" Thinking about the 19 Fairies who had died in battle and the grief of the entire Fairy Clan, Ling Chen once again gritted his teeth.
"Publicly? That's impossible! I'm the Emperor of the Forgotten Continent, and you want me to publicly apologise to a player's city … what face would I have left … this is something that the entire Forgotten Continent will not accept! "Hearing Ling Chen's first condition, the Forgotten Emperor cried out. In the Forgotten Continent, strength reigned supreme, and players were much weaker than NPCs. Asking the high and mighty Emperor of the Forgotten Continent to apologise to a player's city, and to the entire Forgotten Continent at that, was something that the Forgotten Emperor simply could not accept! If he really did this, his Emperor's dignity and face would be completely gone, and it would be equivalent to admitting to the entire world that he had done wrong. In the future, let alone in front of the Forgotten Continent's residents, even players, he would lose all of his dignity.
"Bastard! My son-in-law is giving you a chance! Yet you dare to refuse?! Do you believe that your elder won't destroy your damn city right now? Face?! Ptui! Let's see where you'll find your face after this damn city is gone! " Before Ling Chen could say anything, the Underworld King roared as he glared at the Forgotten Emperor. At the same time, the Underworld God Cannon shook, causing the Forgotten Emperor, White Eagle, and Black Demon to almost kneel to him.
The Forgotten God Representative frowned. Apologising for a mistake was not a big deal, and it was something that should be done. However, the Forgotten Emperor was the Emperor of the human world, and making him publicly apologise was not so simple. However, facing the Underworld King's threat, the Forgotten God Representative could not do anything, so she powerlessly said, "Ling Tian, tell me your second condition."
The Forgotten God Representative's attitude indicated that if the second condition was not too excessive, she would be the first to agree. Her decision was the same as the Forgotten Emperor's. Ling Chen did not waste any words and directly said, "The second condition is for you to compensate my Ling Tian City by three times! The amount of money needed to repair the city, as well as the cost of resources, labour, time, relocation fees, and communication fees, as well as the loss of player traffic and income from teleportation fees, business income, profession change system, quest system, residence system, entertainment system, expansion progress, as well as the loss of land and equipment from defending against attacks … as well as the mental damage to the players and residents, especially the Fairies … Ling Tian City will give you the total within five days. You must pay back the money you owe, and you must compensate me by three times, not a single cent less! "
The Forgotten Emperor's face became paler and paler, and he felt incredibly dizzy. The Forgotten Emperor had a rough idea of how much money Ling Tian City received in a day, or else he wouldn't have been so envious and jealous to the point of attacking Ling Tian City. Just the loss from closing the city for a day was a massive figure, and with the tens of 'damages' that Ling Chen had listed … it would be three times that amount. In the end, even the Forgotten City, which had thousands of years of history, would lose a great deal of money.
The Forgotten God Representative's chest heaved as she gritted her teeth and said, "… Tell me the third condition!"
"The third condition is much simpler." Ling Chen turned to look at the Forgotten God Representative, his gaze incredibly sharp. "I don't want to see the same thing happen a second time, and I'm sure that you don't want the Forgotten City to disappear from this world either. I want the Forgotten Emperor and you, the Forgotten God Representative, to swear an oath that from today onwards, you will not attack Ling Tian City for any reason! "
The third condition was the simplest, but it was what Ling Chen cared about the most. His revenge this time would be enough to scare the Forgotten Emperor to death, and he would never dare to make trouble for Ling Tian City again. However, there was still the Forgotten God Representative. With the Underworld King present, the Forgotten God Representative wouldn't have any temper, but she would still be filled with rage. Perhaps she would find an excuse to make trouble for Ling Tian City one day. The Underworld King belonged to the Underworld, so he couldn't always protect the Forgotten Emperor, nor could he always protect Ling Tian City. The Fairy Clan's grief made it impossible for the Forgotten Emperor to allow the same thing to happen again. With the Underworld King and the threat of the Underworld God Cannon, the Forgotten God Representative and the Forgotten God Representative would swear an oath to never attack Ling Tian City again. Only then would Ling Tian City be able to stand peacefully in the Forgotten Continent.
"That's impossible!" The Forgotten God Representative resolutely refused, frowning as she said, "As the Forgotten Continent's Moon Deities Representative, I have the right to maintain order and punish all evil and unstable factors! If I made this promise, wouldn't that mean that Ling Tian City would be beyond my jurisdiction? If one day they cause chaos in the Forgotten Continent or offend me, do I have to ignore them and run away? "
"Haha, you're thinking too much." Ling Chen coldly laughed as he glanced at the Forgotten Emperor and said, "Our Ling Tian City's people only want to protect our own land, and we will never be like some people who want to cause chaos in other people's land. What you're worried about will never happen … of course, if you're trying to force someone to do something, that's a different matter. That's fine, I can add another condition to this condition … unless Ling Tian City has committed some unforgivable crime or offended you, you cannot offend Ling Tian City for any reason! "
This time, the Forgotten God Representative did not refuse. Looking at the Underworld King beside Ling Chen, she could not find a reason to refuse. This was because Ling Tian City had the Underworld King and the entire Underworld behind them. Let alone Ling Tian City, even if they committed all sorts of crimes, she would not dare to look for trouble with them, let alone the Forgotten City. She frowned as she said, "As long as Ling Tian City does not do anything evil, I have no reason to interfere with Ling Tian City's matters, and I don't care about such oaths."
Following this, she calmly said, "I, as the Forgotten Continent's Moon Deities Representative, swear that unless Ling Tian City commits an unforgivable crime or offends me, I will not offend Ling Tian City! If I break this oath, may I be destroyed by the heavens. "
The Forgotten Emperor also hurriedly made the same oath as the Forgotten God Representative.
"So you've agreed to all three conditions?" Ling Chen expressionlessly asked after listening to them make their oaths.
"The Underworld God Cannon, which has the power to kill a god, is pointed at the Forgotten City? Do we have the right to refuse?" The Forgotten God Representative said mockingly before looking at the Forgotten City. "I agree to all three of your conditions on behalf of the Forgotten City. Now, you should withdraw your Undead army and Phoenix God Heavenly Flames."
Ling Chen inwardly let out a breath of relief. The Underworld King's appearance had made everything incredibly simple and smooth. Otherwise, even though the outcome would have been the same, the process would have been much more difficult, dangerous, and exciting. After all, the Fire God's Bulwark and Xi Ling's Ultimate Flames could not compare to the Underworld King and his Underworld God Cannon. The Forgotten Emperor and the Forgotten God Representative obediently accepted the three conditions.
Under Ling Chen's command, Leng 'Er silently appeared, and the black moon mark on her forehead flashed, causing the Undead army to freeze before turning into black smoke and disappearing. The Phoenix God Heavenly Flames were also quickly extinguished by Xi Ling. With her Phoenix royal bloodline, controlling the Phoenix God Heavenly Flames was incredibly easy for her.
"Aiyaya, this backer is quite incredible." The woman with red hair, who had been silently watching from afar, tapped on her chin, her face filled with shock. "Son-in-law … father-in-law … such names that make one's imagination run wild."
"The Underworld King of the East is called Ming Sa. Currently, apart from the 3 Goddesses of Fate, Order, and Freedom, he is one of the only Saint Destroyer grade experts in the Mystic Moon world. He is as famous as big sis' adoptive father, Lord Sea Emperor. However, it's not surprising that the Sea Emperor would take big sis as his daughter, but … the legendary Underworld King actually called him son-in-law … this was simply too inconceivable. Could it be that the Underworld King really married his daughter … to a player? Moreover, the Underworld King is from the Undead Clan, so he's tens of thousands of years old. His daughter is also an Undead, so she's definitely very old. She might even look very old and ugly, and her body might be like a zombie's … ahhh, so scary. How could he accept this … "Yola said as she vigorously shook her head.
"Of course not. This man of his won't touch anything that isn't beautiful. Aiya, this is going to be a headache. I was going to use my foster father to scare him one day, but I didn't expect that he would beat me to it again. I don't feel very good right now, "the red-haired woman said with a hint of sadness.
