139: The agreement with Emperor Yuan was hastily fulfilled in just half a year.

PS: The previous chapter has been revised, please take a look again... "What! War?"

Hearing this, the complexions of the three men couldn't help but change slightly, but soon Old Ancestor Yan Hui was the first to let out a cold laugh:

"Hmph! Yuan Emperor, stop trying to scare people!"

"Currently, although the various powers in our Kyushu are not a solid bloc, even the combined forces' strength surpasses that of your Great Yuan Dynasty by a margin."

"Under this circumstance, even if your Great Yuan Dynasty starts a war, you will lose more than you gain. I don't believe you dare to start a war!"

"Haha! I don't dare?"

The Yuan Emperor laughed upon hearing this:

"Since this Emperor was born, I have fought against the heavens and the earth. What is there in this world that this Emperor does not dare to do?"

"Let alone a mere war, as long as there are sufficient benefits or it brings this Emperor sufficient threat, even if one day I have to overthrow the entire Kyushu, this Emperor will still do it!"

"And now, although the threat Lin Yi brings to this Emperor is not enough to make this Emperor overthrow Kyushu, a mere war, what is there for this Emperor to fear?"

"Hmph! Rather than waiting for him to grow up in the future and join forces with you all to destroy my Great Yuan Dynasty, it is better to take advantage of his current weakness and destroy him and all you rebellious subjects along with my Great Yuan Dynasty in one go."

"Anyway, as long as this Emperor does not die, it will take at most a few decades for my Great Yuan Dynasty to be reborn from the ashes! Hmph! You all choose!"

"Madman! Madman! He is truly a madman!"

Seeing the Yuan Emperor's crazed look, Old Ancestor Yan Hui couldn't help but panic slightly and quickly transmitted his voice to the Buddhist World-Honored One and the Myriad Phenomena Tower Master:

"World-Honored One, Tower Master, you must not listen to the nonsense of this lunatic Yuan Qingcang."

"The Great Yuan Dynasty is the foundation built by his ancestors and himself through hard work for half a lifetime; he absolutely will not give it up so easily."

"His purpose in saying this is nothing more than wanting us to hand over Lin Yi without exerting any effort. You two must not be fooled!"

"Amitabha, Benefactor Yan, rest assured."

The stout monk smiled faintly:

"How could we not know Yuan Qingcang's objective? Benefactor Lin Yi of your sect is a Genius who surpasses the Ancestors of the Three Great Sacred Lands and is the hope for our various powers to resist Yuan Qingcang after he breaks through to a higher Realm in the future."

"Although after Yuan Qingcang's targeting, Benefactor Lin Yi's hope of breaking through above Martial Saint is slim, we absolutely will not hand over Benefactor Lin Yi unless it is the last resort."

"However, Yuan Qingcang's actions have always been incredibly reckless. If he is angered, he might actually start a war in a fit of rage. Therefore, later, this poor monk must negotiate properly with him."

"Yes! The World-Honored One possesses great wisdom; this Yan is inferior. This time, I must trouble the World-Honored One to exert effort and negotiate with that scoundrel Yuan Qingcang."

Hearing the stout monk's assurance, Old Ancestor Yan Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief and transmitted his voice.

"Amitabha, Benefactor Yan is too polite."

The stout monk chuckled, then raised his head and addressed the Yuan Emperor high in the sky:

"Benefactor Yuan, the few of us have discussed it. Benefactor Lin Yi is a peerless prodigy unseen in our faction for thousands of years. No matter how much you threaten, we cannot hand over Benefactor Lin Yi."

"However, although we won't hand over Benefactor Lin Yi, it doesn't mean your Great Yuan Dynasty should completely allow Lin Yi to grow without restraint. There is still some room for maneuver."

"Hmm? Room for maneuver? You bald donkey, what exactly do you mean?"

The Yuan Emperor frowned upon hearing this.

"It's very simple!"

The stout monk chuckled:

"Although we won't hand over Benefactor Lin Yi this time, after he emerges from the Martial Emperors Relic Palace, your Great Yuan Dynasty can send people to deal with him. At that time, except for the Heavenly Mountain Sect, none of our other powers will interfere."

"As for the cultivation level of the people your Great Yuan Dynasty sends, it must not exceed Lin Yi's current Realm by more than one level."

"For example, if Lin Yi is in the Innate True Essence Realm, then you can send up to those in the Xiantian Golden Core Realm."

"If Lin Yi is in the Xiantian Golden Core Realm, then you can send up to those in the Innate Golden Core Realm."

"Of course, the experts sent by the Heavenly Mountain Sect to protect Benefactor Lin Yi also cannot exceed the cultivation of the experts sent by your Great Yuan Dynasty, otherwise it would be unfair."

"Also, if Benefactor Lin Yi achieves the Innate Golden Core Realm, then your Great Yuan Dynasty cannot send a Martial Saint to deal with him."

"After all, the gap between a Martial Saint and an Innate Golden Core is too vast. Even if Lin Yi truly obtains a divine weapon in the Martial Emperors Relic Palace this time, he cannot possibly defeat a Martial Saint level expert while only being in the Innate Golden Core Realm."

"Therefore, the limit for those sent by your Great Yuan Dynasty to deal with him is the Innate Golden Core Realm."

"Oh, is that so?"

Upon hearing the conditions set by the Buddhist World-Honored One, the Yuan Emperor's domineering eyes narrowed slightly, then after pondering for a moment, he finally nodded slowly:

"Very well! Since it has come to this, this Emperor will give this old thieving monk some Face."

"From today onwards, the Martial Saints of my Great Yuan Dynasty will no longer deal with that Lin Yi, but after that Lin Yi emerges from the Martial Emperors Relic Palace, he cannot stay hiding in the Heavenly Mountain Sect forever."

"Otherwise, with that old fellow Yan Hui around, even if my Great Yuan Dynasty could dispatch Martial Saints, we wouldn't be able to kill him, let alone only dispatch Innate Golden Cores."

"In that case, this Emperor might as well start a war with you all sooner and let's perish together!"

"No problem!"

The stout monk chuckled:

"I now represent Benefactor Yan and Benefactor Lin Yi in agreeing to your proposal, Benefactor Yuan. After Benefactor Lin Yi emerges from the Martial Emperors Relic Palace, he can stay in the Heavenly Mountain Sect for a maximum of one month from then on."

"If it exceeds one month, then even if you, Benefactor Yuan, personally come to the Heavenly Mountain Sect, we will no longer intervene."

"Good! I hope you keep your word!"

Hearing the promise from the Buddhist World-Honored One, the Yuan Emperor nodded slightly, then glanced sideways at Old Ancestor Yan Hui before his body transformed into a streak of purple lightning and instantly vanished from the Void Realm.

At the same time, the large expanse of dark clouds and sea of lightning that had previously filled the sky slowly dissipated.

"Phew! He's finally gone!"

Seeing this scene, Old Ancestor Yan Hui, the Buddhist World-Honored One, and the Myriad Phenomena Tower Master all breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, facing the number one expert in the Kyushu Continent, whose Aptitude was comparable to the Ancestors of the Three Great Sacred Lands, even if they were confident in surviving, the pressure was immense.

The reason they succeeded in negotiating with the Yuan Emperor this time was largely due to Lin Yi still being weak and posing no threat to the Yuan Emperor.

Otherwise, if Lin Yi had already achieved Martial Saint by now, let alone just the three of them being present, even if all the Martial Saints of Kyushu gathered, the Yuan Emperor would likely disregard any agreement and try to kill Lin Yi at all costs afterwards.

This was the madness and dominance of the Yuan Emperor, the number one expert in Kyushu!

"Alas! I hope Lin Yi can survive the pursuit of the Great Yuan Dynasty in the future!"

Thinking of this, the three sighed softly.

Facing endless pursuit by experts whose strength exceeded his current Realm by one level—thinking about such a thing made even them feel terrified.

After all, in the Kyushu Continent, the gap between one Realm and another was truly vast.

Even if Lin Yi's talent shocked the past and present, even surpassing the Ancestors of the Three Great Sacred Lands.

Under such terrifying pursuit, could he survive in the future?

With heavy hearts, the group waited below Liuzhong Mountain for Lin Yi's return.

And time passed quickly amidst their waiting; in the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.
