Many Ultimate God experts were puzzled when they heard the news. Why would they do that? If they really wanted to fight, why did they have to take such a roundabout way?
More than a hundred thousand years ago, the Spirit Continent invaded the Lingwu Continent. The Lingwu Continent eventually surrendered and signed an unfair treaty, losing an immeasurable amount of resources.
This time, the Spirit Continent wanted to come again to rob resources, weaken the Lingwu Continent's strength, and strengthen the Spirit Continent's strength.
All the Ultimate God experts were puzzled about the duel, but they could not think of a reason.
In the Conference Hall, the Ultimate God experts from the six forces gathered again to discuss the matter.
Because they would have to give them an answer tomorrow.
Should they accept the duel or not?
"I don't think they have the strength to compete with our Lingwu Alliance at all. That's why they're pretending to be mysterious. They only sent experts below Mid-Stage Ultimate God to fight a war of attrition with us. In fact, they might not have as many Late-Stage Ultimate God experts as we do. If we really fight, it's hard to say who will win in our territory."
The one who expressed his opinion was a bald elder from the Buddhist Sect. He wore a grey robe with the word 'Buddha' on the back. He was also a Mid-Stage Ultimate God expert.
He had a high status in the Buddhist Sect and was hot-tempered. Now that he had encountered such a situation, he was also furious.
"What do the other clans think?"
Ancestor Subhuti nodded and asked the others.
"I'm afraid Xue Wudi's real strength is similar to Mu Yulang's. However, his aura has always been stronger than Mu Yulang's. I think the opponent is trying to train Xue Wudi in the early stages. I heard that Xue Wudi is the eldest prince of the Dead Soul Royal Clan and is highly valued by the Soul Overlord. If he grows up, he will definitely be a threat to the Lingwu Continent in the future. I think the opponent did not send Late Ultimate God experts in this battle to train Xue Wudi and let him establish his reputation."
Another Hierarch Realm expert expressed his opinion.
"So, do we accept this duel or not?"
Xiao Lintian said.
"Mu Yulang, you're the protagonist of this duel. What do you think?"
Patriarch Subhuti asked.
"Looks like the other party wants to completely defeat me. Although both of us have displayed some skills in our previous fight, none of us have used our true strength. Since the other party has challenged me to a duel, it is likely that he has the confidence to win."
Mu Yulang said.
No matter what, he had to accept this battle, and he had to defeat Xue Wudi. Otherwise, it would be a real bloody battle. Even if he could defeat the Spirit Continent, he wouldn't be able to afford it.
No one wanted a war to break out. Negotiation was the best outcome.
"Yu Lang is right. It looks like they want to crush our confidence by defeating Mu Yu Lang. Then, they will attack our Lingwu Continent."
Mu Yazi said.
"This Dead Soul Royalty is so vicious!"
"That's right. If Mu Yulang loses to Xue Wudi, it's the same as our continent's geniuses losing to their continent's geniuses. We'll be suppressed by them in terms of momentum. If they send a Late Ultimate God expert, we won't stand a chance."
The surrounding Ultimate God experts were discussing among themselves.
"I accept this battle!"
Mu Yulang said after a moment of contemplation.
"What? Accept? "
Qian Yun was shocked. "We have to sign a treaty for this battle. Once the treaty comes into effect, it has to happen. Otherwise, we'll be punished by the power of laws. Unless you can defeat Xue Wudi, the other party will definitely send a Late Ultimate God expert. We have to accept this battle even if we don't want to."
After signing the treaty, one would be protected by the power of the formation. If one did not comply, one would be punished. For example, if Mu Yulang defeated Xue Wudi, both parties would negotiate. However, if the Spirit Continent violated the treaty and continued to attack the Lingwu Continent, the other party would definitely be punished by the power of the formation.
"Do we have any other choice? The Spirit Continent has been wanting to attack us for a long time, but they chose to play this game. Isn't it just to force us? The other party threw this battle to put pressure on us. If that's the case, we can only fight. As long as we can defeat Xue Wudi, we'll be able to negotiate with them. "
Mu Yulang said.
Everyone nodded. Even if Mu Yulang didn't agree to the battle with Xue Wudi, the battle would escalate if it dragged on, and the casualties of the Lingwu Continent would be even greater.
"If that's the case, then let's talk to the Tenth Prince of the Spirit Continent," Mu Yulang said. "Tell him that three days from now, at the Genius Canyon, Mu Yulang will agree to the battle."
In the end, the meeting ended with them accepting the other party's challenge.
Ye Mo listened to everything that was being discussed in the meeting.
"The Spirit Continent is really treacherous!"
Ye Mo shook his head and left the meeting hall.
No matter what, Ye Mo knew that he wouldn't be of much use in this battle.
"Ye Mo, don't you think something's strange?"
Hong Ling said.
"What's strange?"
Ye Mo asked, puzzled.
"Logically speaking, what you did in the Spirit World should've reached Xue Wudi's ears," Hong Ling said. "You killed their nine princes and took away the Spirit Master's Spirit Mount, the Heavenly Lion. They attacked the Lingwu Continent, but they didn't even ask about it. It's as if nothing happened. Don't you think it's strange?"
Ye Mo was shocked by Hong Ling's words.
Hong Ling's words shocked Ye Mo. If it were him, he would've asked the people of the Lingwu Continent to hand Ye Mo over immediately.
"There must be something fishy going on here!"
Hong Ling said.
"Fishy? What is it?"
Ye Mo pondered as he walked along the corridor. He had been staying in the Bodhi Palace for the past few days. Every day, Patriarch Bodhi would try his best to teach him the Spirit Cultivation Method.
Since the meeting was over, he had to go to Patriarch Bodhi's palace and wait for him to arrive. Then, he would start his daily lessons.
Patriarch Bodhi had already appeared in the palace.
"Master, I'm here," Ye Mo said as he walked into the palace.
Because of the interactions he had with Patriarch Subhuti these past few days, the relationship between the two of them was quite good. In front of Patriarch Subhuti, Ye Mo didn't have to follow any rules.
"I have a headache today," Patriarch Bodhi said. "You can go back now. Come back tomorrow at this time."
Patriarch Bodhi rubbed his head, a troubled expression on his face.
"I don't know what's bothering you, Master," Ye Mo said. "Can you share it with me? I may be young, but I might have a different way of thinking than you."
Patriarch Bodhi said.
"Today, the Tenth Prince of the Spirit World, Xue Wudi, proposed a duel with the genius of the Mu Clan, Mu Yulang.
We even agreed to this duel, "Patriarch Bodhi said.
"Master, you're worried that Senior Mu Yulang will lose, right?"
Ye Mo asked with a frown.
"That's right."
Patriarch Bodhi sighed and said, "The moment he loses, the war will escalate. All of us old things will have to rush to the battlefield."
Patriarch Bodhi's voice was filled with helplessness.
