Chapter 1010: Chapter 996: Negotiating with the Tiger

“Yin Yang Annihilation Divine Thunder, it’s actually the Yin Yang Annihilation Divine Thunder!”

“The life-saving artifact of those two old guys from Yin Yang Island, how do you have it?”

At that moment, the Great Saint of Jinghai and the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief, even the usually grim-faced Sea-Breaking Great Saint had an extremely ugly expression.

The cause of all this was entirely due to the strange item that Liao Feibai revealed in his palm, shaped like a sphere, half-red, half-black, exuding a frightening aura.

“So this thing is called Yin Yang Annihilation Divine Thunder?” Ye Zhen thought to himself.

This object that shocked the Sky Wing Three Saints was found by Liao Feibai from the storage ring of the Second Island Master of Yin Yang Island, Yang Ben, and only one existed.

When Liao Feibai took it out, it almost scared Ye Zhen to death. Although he didn’t recognize much else, he was keenly aware of the grade of the red flame forming the Yang Half Sphere of the Yin Yang Annihilation Divine Thunder.

Although in this form Ye Zhen couldn’t discern the essence of the flame, its grade was a whole level higher than Ye Zhen’s Earth Vein Heavenly Fire.

And its quantity was extremely terrifying.

According to Ye Zhen’s perception, the Yang Half Sphere of this Yin Yang Annihilation Divine Thunder, about the size of a human head, contained a concentration of pure Fire Spirit Power dozens of times greater than all the spiritual power within Ye Zhen’s body.

The explosive power it could unleash was imaginable.

Moreover, there was also the Yin Half Sphere, which held no less power than the Yang Half Pearl, containing various mysterious patterns within.

At that moment, upon seeing this, Ye Zhen understood that it was most likely the life-saving artifact of Yang Ben, the Second Island Master of Yin Yang Island. How powerful could a life-saving treasure of a Dao Realm Expert be?

Ye Zhen didn’t plan to use it then; he told Liao Feibai to keep it as a last resort.

However, along the journey, Ye Zhen had carefully considered all possible changes that might arise during the negotiation with Heavenly Wing Island.

Based on the possible changes he anticipated, Ye Zhen had discussed countermeasures with Liao Feibai one by one.

The benefits of thorough preparation were evident at this moment.

The intimidation from the Sky Wing Three Saints was a scenario Ye Zhen and Liao Feibai had focused on discussing.

Facing such situations, resorting to self-destruction or threatening to destroy one’s Divine Soul was already at a disadvantage, which could lead to a very passive position in subsequent negotiations.

The best approach was to instill enough apprehension in the opponent. To this end, Ye Zhen and Liao Feibai discussed many methods.

The Demon-Annihilating General had sufficient deterrent power, but from gathering to firing a Demon-Annihilating Spirit Arrow required at least ten breaths of time, and beginning the process could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Thus, the Yin Yang Annihilation Divine Thunder, with its unfathomable yet definite threat to the Sky Wing Three Saints, became the best choice.

At that time, seeing the display from Heavenly Wing Island, Ye Zhen and Liao Feibai directly revealed the Yin Yang Annihilation Divine Thunder.

Noting the expressions of all three Saints, Ye Zhen knew he had bet correctly.

“Three Great Saints, I believe you’re familiar with the power of the Yin Yang Annihilation Divine Thunder. Of course, it only poses a threat to you; it can’t claim your lives!” Ye Zhen understood this well; otherwise, Yin Yang Island would have dominated the Outer Domain Sea long ago.

“However, I’m not foolish. I wouldn’t launch the Yin Yang Annihilation Divine Thunder at you, only towards the… Sea Eye Heavenly Pool!”

“You dare!”

Almost the instant Ye Zhen’s words landed, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint shrieked harshly, his demeanor instantly becoming extremely grim, as if Ye Zhen’s words had struck a nerve.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, however, wore a wry smile.

The Great Saint of Jinghai’s expression changed a few times before suddenly bursting into laughter, “Young Hero Ye’s method is indeed remarkable! Earlier, my second brother recounted your actions through Talisman Communication, which I didn’t fully believe at the time.

Now, I believe, completely believe!

Even in the heart of my domain, you dare to threaten the three of us; what else in this world would Young Hero Ye not dare to do?”

“I was simply inspired to make a slight probe; Young Hero Ye, please don’t mind, do come in, you too, please!”

With a hearty laugh, the Great Saint of Jinghai turned into a welcoming host, evidently a person skilled in diplomacy. However, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s face was not quite as amiable.

Even with the Great Saint of Jinghai smoothing things over, he still wore a dark expression, despite having a snide appearance.

Oddly enough, Ye Zhen’s posture remained completely unmoved.

Liao Feibai still wore a cautious look, tightly clutching the Yin Yang Annihilation Divine Thunder in his arms, with a faint trace of Divine Sense hovering over it. At the slightest disturbance, Liao Feibai would immediately detonate the Yin Yang Annihilation Divine Thunder.

The Great Saint of Jinghai frowned, extending his hand once more, “Young Hero Ye, please enter the hall for a discussion!”

“Great Saint, I’m afraid; I don’t dare to enter!” Ye Zhen said with a casual tone.

“Afraid?”

“What is the reason?” The Great Saint of Jinghai’s expression subtly changed.

“Although the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea made an extremely vicious Divine Soul Oath in front of me, in this world, there’s no guarantee that there aren’t treasures that can dissolve such oaths.

I’m afraid that if I enter that hall, it’ll be like stepping into the Ghost Gate, where I’ll be at your mercy, whereas here, I can at least keep you somewhat wary. Once inside that hall, I’m afraid there will be no place for me to be buried!” Ye Zhen said.

The Great Saint of Jinghai glanced at the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea with some surprise, “Since you don’t want to enter the hall to talk, we can discuss it here! This is our territory, although it’s open, no one can eavesdrop!”

In response to this proposal from the Great Saint of Jinghai, Ye Zhen shook his head again and refused.

Seeing this, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s face darkened, and he spoke with a threatening tone: “This won’t do, that won’t do, are you toying with us, the Sky Wing Three Saints?”

“Hmph, in this world, those who dare to toy with the Sky Wing Three Saints have all ended up dead!”

“Toy with you? How could I dare? According to my thinking, it’s still better to talk in the hall, but there’s a prerequisite condition to going into the hall!” Ye Zhen said.

“What’s the condition, speak!” Jinghai Great Saint demanded.

“As long as the two of you make the same Divine Soul Oath as the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea in front of me, I’ll enter the hall to discuss this matter with you!

I, Ye Zhen, although my cultivation is not high, know that dissolving the Divine Soul Oath is an act against the heavens. You, the Sky Wing Three Saints, have abundant wealth and treasures, so it may be possible for one person, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, to dissolve it.

But simultaneously dissolving the Divine Soul Oath of all three of you would be really difficult!

Of course, if you could actually dissolve all three of your Divine Soul Oaths at once, I, Ye Zhen, would accept it, and consider it my bad luck!” Ye Zhen said leisurely.

Since it involves negotiating with tigers, Ye Zhen must be extremely cautious!

“Dream on!”

Just as Ye Zhen’s words fell, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint swiftly and concisely gave Ye Zhen a two-word reply.

The Great Saint of Jinghai was much more tactful than the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, not in line with his burly physique.

“Young Hero Ye is really making things difficult for us. We don’t even know what Young Hero Ye has, yet Young Hero Ye wants us to take such a vicious and harsh Divine Soul Oath. It’s not very appropriate, is it?”

Ye Zhen smiled slightly, eyes squinting, “Well then, it seems I must reveal something.”

The eyes of the Great Saint of Jinghai, the Great Sage of Overturning Sea, and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint all focused on Ye Zhen’s face in unison.

“There’s another entrance to that Ancient Strange Space Secret Realm you want to enter!” Ye Zhen said.

“Where is it?”

The Sky Wing Three Saints nearly shouted in unison, pressing Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen’s mouth twitched into a mischievous smile, “I know, but I’m just not telling you!”

Hearing this, the Sky Wing Three Saints exchanged glances, and their auras suddenly fluctuated strangely, clearly engaging in a Divine Soul exchange!

Ye Zhen didn’t even need to consider to know what these three were thinking; he was just puzzled if their reactions were over the top.

Ye Zhen did not know that the entrance to that Ancient Strange Space Secret Realm had been completely destroyed in that battle, and the entrance Ye Zhen knew of was the only one remaining.

“The idea of a Soul Search or using my senior sister to threaten me into submission, you can forget about it. If you don’t believe me, ask the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, the Soul Explosion Seal and Blood Soul Talisman are not mere words!”

Saying this, Ye Zhen added, “Well, actually, even ants cling to life. As long as you cooperate well with me, naturally, I won’t go the route of mutual destruction.”

“Since you say so, you must show some sincerity in cooperation and tell us what exactly is inside that Ancient Strange Space Secret Realm?” the Sea-Breaking Great Saint demanded.

“Hmph, do you take me for a fool?” Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly became extremely fierce, “I’ve already shown the sincerity I should, and I’ve said what I should say!

If you’re still not satisfied, then we can only fight it out with blood. Of course, there’s not much suspense in us bleeding out on the spot! However, whether you can get anything useful from my Divine Soul, that’s hard to say!”

Hearing this, the eyes of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint and the Great Saint of Jinghai both turned to the Great Sage of Overturning Sea.

He then shook his head with a bitter smile!

The Great Saint of Jinghai suddenly gave Ye Zhen a thumbs-up, “It’s said that among the Human Clan, there are warriors of wisdom and courage, those who dare to enter tiger dens alone, and who can gather dragon saliva from their lairs, with daggers at their throats, unflinching. Today, this saint has witnessed it, Young Hero Ye is truly outstanding!”

After speaking, the Great Saint of Jinghai looked towards the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, “Third Brother, the matter has come to this, let’s just take the Divine Soul Oath as Young Hero Ye requires!

I have carefully considered it before, the Divine Soul Oath required by Young Hero Ye is mainly to ensure his safety, prohibiting us from harming him, and requiring us to protect him in our presence!

There is no conflict with our interests in this, nor is there any conflict with us personally, so let’s swear it! After all, regarding that matter….”

The Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s face was one of gloom, lips pouting, but he nodded eventually.

Subsequently, in front of Ye Zhen, the two of them made the extremely vicious Divine Soul Oath demanded by Ye Zhen, word by word!

Listening to the two of them finish, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and only then did he realize his back was drenched in cold sweat!

Negotiating with tigers is indeed no easy matter! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
