Capítulo 1426: Chapter 165: Two Requests

But Zhou Yan didn’t care.

Nowadays, there are very few things that he cares about.

If something arises, just solve it with courage and strength.

Zhou Yan watched the changes in the expressions of all lives, strategizing everything with a sovereign will in his heart.

In this situation, Jin Sheng from the Sky Saber Mantis Clan was the first to declare and announce his coexistence and harmonious friendship with the Elf Domain.

With Jin Sheng, a wise person, leading the way, Ao Lie from the Sky Wing Clan, Wan Qing from the Wanshu Race, and Blood Arrow from the Blood Witch Domain all began to express their utmost respect to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan accepted each of these individuals’ sincere bows of worship and the precious gifts offered by these lives with a calm expression.

The Eternal Spirit was also fully refined by Zhou Yan at this time, and the Primordial Magnetic Ancient Array that had already collapsed slowly disappeared.

Everything fit together quite mysteriously and smoothly.

With the majesty and power of the King’s Main City, Zhou Yan acquired a Puppet Servant of the Eternal Nine Rules First Layer. He realized that despite the endless dangers in heaven and earth, he could still traverse them.

Zhou Yan’s expression was calm as he gently exhaled and then, inexplicably, glanced at Jin Sheng, who was the first to speak up.

Under Zhou Yan’s gaze, Jin Sheng’s face showed signs of bewilderment and uncertainty, and his originally upright body involuntarily bent.

Zhou Yan’s face was indifferent, with threads of cold radiating from him—both extremely cold and intensely fierce. Qi Blood Power encircled Zhou Yan, with waves of Fury filling his mind and body. In that moment, he had a strong desire for slaughter, destruction, suppression, and annihilation of all.

This aura manifested, causing Jin Sheng to shiver and almost jump out of his skin.

“Lord Zhou Yan, has the Sky Saber Mantis Clan offended the Domain Master in any way…”

Jin Sheng immediately felt a chill throughout his body, with a sense of bewilderment and uncertainty.

He didn’t understand why Zhou Yan suddenly changed his attitude, but for whatever reason, he had no intention of provoking him, only an endless submission.

Submission is not shameful; causing the destruction of the Sky Saber Mantis Clan due to improper behavior would be truly disgraceful.

Furthermore, while contemplating Zhou Yan previously, Jin Sheng felt that Zhou Yan was quite volatile, and it would be wise never to offend him if possible.

Moreover, Zhou Yan, with a single strike, directly destroyed a mighty figure of the Eternal Nine Rules from the Eternal Mantis. Though just an Avatar, such a character is comparable to a great elder of the Mantis Race, yet he killed him anyway.

Nonetheless, the killing was done. But after the killing, neither Jin Sheng nor his fellow clan members displayed any anger, so why was Zhou Yan still unforgiving?

“Jin Sheng, you are wise and know when to advance or retreat. You are a good friend to befriend.”

Zhou Yan said casually.

“The Domain Master Zhou Yan praises too highly; I cannot bear it.”

Jin Sheng said with a hint of confusion and uncertainty.

He couldn’t comprehend what Zhou Yan meant.

“My King’s Main City, once it descends on a place, can suppress an area. The Sky Saber Mantis Clan’s oppression of the Elf Clan reached a wrathful level that I believe Great Elder Jin Sheng is aware of.”

“Ah, this, this… Indeed, it was a foolish act by the Mantis Clan, but after this, the Mantis Clan will certainly show their sincerity.”

“Well, I feel that too, otherwise how could it be just suppressing a mere Eternal Nine Rules realm clansman? However, this bit of interest is far from enough.”

“So, I now propose two matters.”

“Domain Master, please speak.”

Jin Sheng was very astute, and sensible people are smart people.

Thus, Jin Sheng could lead the Sky Saber Mantis Clan into the twelve major domains first.

“The first matter, I’ve heard you have an ancient Immortal Weapon — the Panhuang Life and Death Sword? This sword has some connection with me, being originally the weapon of the Pangu King. As the Inheritor of the Thunderflame Master, am I qualified to retrieve it?”

“Yes, yes, I will immediately offer the weapon to the Domain Master.”

Jin Sheng immediately said.

His tone was straightforward and brisk.

As he spoke, he even took out an ancient golden Emperor’s Sword at once and respectfully presented it.

Zhou Yan nodded, and beside him, Jiang Yuning stood up personally, approached Jin Sheng, then took the sword, respectfully offered it, and gave it to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan casually held it in his hand, Thunder Light flickering in his palm, and the sword seemingly refined into nothing by the Thunder Light.

This technique is mysterious, yet so effortlessly executed.

Jin Sheng clearly showed an extremely shocked expression. He stared at Zhou Yan, his eyes flickering, and then immediately bowed, displaying even more respect.

“Lord Zhou Yan, please state your second request.”

Jin Sheng’s behavior made all the beings who were watching him show serious expressions.

Many outstanding beings from various domains also noticed from Jin Sheng’s expression that Zhou Yan, in an instant, truly refined the Panhuang Life and Death Sword, something Jin Sheng couldn’t do even in ten thousand years.

Such a technique, just this point alone, is enough to make one’s heart skip a beat.

Zhou Yan’s expression was calm. In the face of Jin Sheng’s reverence, he nodded and said indifferently, “The second thing is to prepare after you return. I intend to marry the Heaven’s Chosen Girl of your race, that arrogant and conceited Fei Ya.”

“This request, you can tell her clearly. If she agrees, come. If she disagrees.”

Zhou Yan didn’t finish his sentence, but Jin Sheng’s heart skipped a beat, knowing that this was a true binding of relationships, it was a political marriage.

Jin Sheng knew what Zhou Yan intended to do; the enemy of the Lord of Thunder Punishment was indeed the Lord of the Source of Evil.

However, the Eternal Spirit and the Source of Evil were still in a state of coexistence. The Mantis Race was the foremost of the twelve great domains, and if they chose to side with the Lord of Sin, they might even gain power from the Evil Spirit and strengthen themselves, developing self-awareness.

This benefit is also tremendous.

However, the critical moment had yet to arrive, and the Mantis Race would not take sides just yet because opposing or submitting to the Lord of Sin was still too soon.

This neutrality is the result of not offending either side, which is the most advantageous.

But now, Zhou Yan forcibly initiated the choice of allegiance, and he specifically targeted the Sky Saber Mantis Clan.

The choice was essentially to either submit or face destruction.

Jin Sheng didn’t think Zhou Yan was joking, so he was very troubled.

If he could, and if he could influence Fei Ya’s thoughts, he would naturally agree immediately. But since he couldn’t dominate Fei Ya’s thoughts, he felt quite helpless.

“Lord, in fact, I personally support this matter very much. After all, with the lord’s talent, you are bound to be a figure of the King Realm in the future. It would also be an honor for Fei Ya to follow you. However, even if I, the Great Elder, am willing, I’m afraid she won’t be. So regarding this request, I can only say that I will do my utmost.”

“If she knows right from wrong, she will agree. If your Sky Saber Mantis Clan has raised a white-eyed wolf that can disregard the destruction of the race, then such a being does not deserve to exist.”

Zhou Yan glanced at Jin Sheng without further pressing the issue.

This banquet, this time of tribute, gradually drew to a close under such circumstances.

After Zhou Yan’s conversation with Jin Sheng, the light curtain in the world began to change, and then many energies appeared. Energy of Life Origin flowed, the Void shifted, and all beings found themselves once again in the Elf Domain, quietly sitting in the Elf Palace.

This scene was bizarre and shocking, and only after Zhou Yan announced the end of the tribute did all beings realize it, then spontaneously stood up and bowed to Zhou Yan.

Among these beings, Zhou Yan paid attention to Qian Luoshui’s expression.

Unfortunately, Qian Luoshui remained icy cold, showing no emotion.

Beside Qian Luoshui, Jiang Hongyi, and Lin Xuefei were visibly excited, somewhat entranced by the endless beauty of the stellar Void, not yet snapping back to reality.

Zhou Yan withdrew his focused gaze only to realize that Qian Luoshui had given him a thoughtful glance, but that indifferent cold gaze rendered Zhou Yan quite helpless.

Qian Luoshui’s expression was aloof, her demeanor icy and rejecting all comers, but in reality, Zhou Yan knew her heart was fervent.

However, Qian Luoshui’s inner self would not be revealed to Zhou Yan for the time being. Even if Zhou Yan wished to experience it, he could not.

This, one must say, is quite a regrettable thing.

Afterward, the tribute event concluded, and the prestige and capability of the King’s Main City of the Elven King were fully revealed, without any concealment.

And this situation made many beings who had never entered the Elf Domain, but sensed the will of the King’s Main City’s prestige, start to truly value the Elf Domain.

Moreover, after the beings who participated in the tribute returned, the prestige and will of the Elf Domain and the King’s Main City further manifested, beginning to truly make a name across the Emperor Star of Ziwei.

At this time, Jin Sheng also left the Elf Domain and went to where he parted ways with Fei Ya.

At that place, when Jin Sheng saw Fei Ya, her condition was dire, as if she had encountered a catastrophic disaster.

Seeing this, Jin Sheng’s expression changed drastically, and his mood immediately became extremely foul.

“Great Elder, you were right. I have fully experienced the strength of the Elf Domain. From now on, Fei Ya will certainly earnestly heed your words and will no longer be self-conceited.”

Fei Ya ponderedly said.

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but shudder occasionally, her delicate body showing a trace of sickly frailty, that the Eternal Spirit seemed to have lost some kind of unique origin.
