My gorgeous wife Chapter 2194 - 2162: Drawn Swords and Bent Bows
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
The Three Realms are waiting.
Waiting for what?
Waiting for a statement from the Heaven Realm.
Although it’s a peaceful negotiation, since it’s a negotiation, a result is necessary. Even if the negotiation was originally meant for making peace.
Peace?
What is peace?
Looking at the countless years of history among all races, so-called peace is an unequal treaty reached when one side shows weakness while the other is strong.
And it’s evident from the situation that the Heaven Realm is the weaker side, and now, the Three Realms can no longer hold back from preying on this weaker side.
At this moment, subtle tensions began to rise in the conference location.
This time, it’s no longer a single party targeting the Heaven Realm, but the Three Realms jointly pressuring Heaven Realm.
"All of you from the Heaven Realm, you must understand the current situation. Although we must join forces to combat those things, it’s best to have a distinction between primary and secondary roles. And this distinction is naturally based on strength. Unfortunately, your Heaven Realm is currently the weakest side." A Daoist Lord from the Immortal Domain spoke indifferently.
"We in the Divine Realm also hope that the Heaven Realm can grasp the situation." A Supreme God from the Divine Realm also expressed his opinion.
Star Arrow Heavenly Master angrily said, "If we agree to your terms, it’s akin to being the first to rush out to die, which makes no difference than us fighting those things alone!"
"There is a difference," said a Purgatory Demon Lord from the Demon Realm slowly opening his mouth: "At least you’re not fighting alone, and in some matters, the Three Realms will definitely lend a hand to assist, because we understand the principle of lips gone, teeth cold, and we won’t sit and watch the Heaven Realm’s annihilation."
Lin Yi said coldly, "I’m afraid even if you intervene, it will be after our Heaven Realm has suffered heavy casualties, won’t it? Only when our strongmen have almost all died will you come out to clean up the mess. Then you can exterminate these so-called Doomsday Beast Souls and take over a Heaven Realm that has no claws and fangs. Isn’t that your intention?"
People from the Three Realms exchanged glances but did not address this question.
"Now, let’s see your decision."
Lingfeng Heavenly Sovereign’s face was also as cold as ice: "Everyone, you should know, even if we agree with you here, over at the Borderland Realm, there are still Heavenly Venerable Qinglong and other lords stationed. Our decision cannot represent them."
"You can rest assured, as long as you agree, we will have ways to persuade the powerful figures of the Heaven Realm," a Daoist Lord from the Immortal Domain said with a warm face.
But this warm smile only highlighted the sinister intentions he was hiding more fiercely.
"And if we don’t agree?" Autumn Rain Heavenly Venerate, who had long been silent, suddenly brought up this question again.
"That would be a pity," the Daoist Lord replied: "If we cannot reach an agreement, we may not be able to let you leave here."
The people of the Heaven Realm felt a chill in their hearts.
It seems that this time the meeting had been pre-planned by these people, and they didn’t have any good intentions from the beginning, yet they came running here willingly, it was utterly foolish.
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly came from the side of the Immortal Domain.
"Such a large group of so-called top-level experts from all circles bullying a little girl, you guys have truly become more shameless."
At these words, not only did people from the Divine Realm and Demon Realm show discontent, but even several strongmen native to the Immortal Domain frowned and looked at the speaker.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged Daoist Lord with a somewhat stiff complexion. Facing everyone’s gaze, there wasn’t the slightest reaction on the face of the Daoist Lord, and he still spoke to himself: "Although I’ve already seen through your shamelessness long ago, seeing it again still makes me feel sick. Forget it, such nonsense negotiations, I won’t attend."
This time, even the various Daoist Lords from the Immortal Domain showed obvious discontent. Among them, a Daoist Lord looked at the middle-aged Daoist Lord who spoke, and coldly said, "You’d better think carefully, this event was facilitated by the Dao Ancestor and two other lords, have you considered the consequences of leaving just like this?"
However, after the Daoist Lord finished speaking, he saw the middle-aged Daoist Lord, who had shown empathy for the Heaven Realm, change his expression, look gloomily at the speaking Daoist Lord, and said, "Are you using that old fellow to threaten me? Let me tell you, you’re not even worthy to carry my shoes back in the day, not to mention that old thing standing in front of me, I would still show no respect!"
At this point, the disgruntlement on the faces of strongmen from the Demon and Divine Realms gradually gave way to a look of interest.
The Heaven Realm had clearly shown itself to be powerless and unable to form a threat, so if internal strife appeared in the Immortal Domain now, it would be best for them.
"You..."
The Daoist Lord, who was mocked as a ’loser,’ couldn’t help but show a look of shame and anger on his face. It was the first time since becoming a Daoist Lord that someone dared to mock him as a ’loser.’ Staring at the middle-aged Daoist Lord, this Daoist Lord’s face grew ever darker: "Spiritual Treasure Daoist, do you think that just living longer means you are stronger? I heard that all these years you were gone you were imprisoned in the Heaven Realm? Did your time in captivity make you develop feelings for the cage that imprisoned you, making you unwilling to act?"
The words of this Daoist Lord were truly venomous. They not only struck Spiritual Treasure Daoist’s sore spot but also dredged up some old events. Moreover, it served as a reminder to the other Daoist Lords from the Immortal Domain, prompting them to have suspicions in their hearts.
As for the other strongmen, they each looked at the middle-aged Daoist Lord with various expressions, who was undoubtedly... Spiritual Treasure Daoist!
"Interesting." Spiritual Treasure Daoist’s face had already turned completely indifferent: "Originally, I didn’t plan to concern myself with your trivial matters, letting my ears get some peace. I didn’t expect that after leaving the Immortal Domain for so many years, the upcoming juniors have become more arrogant one after another."
"I don’t want to meddle with the affairs of these Heaven Realm guys, but just because of your previous comments, today, I, the old man, will kill you!" Spiritual Treasure Daoist’s eyes showed a vicious gleam.
"Don’t say it’s just you, even if that old thing now called the Dao Ancestor stood here, I would still kill you!"
Upon hearing Spiritual Treasure Daoist’s words, even the Daoist Lords of the Immortal Domain, among them older and wiser figures, finally realized something.
They recalled the name.
Spiritual Treasure!
Spiritual Treasure Daoist!!
This is the crazy Daoist Lord who once, in the Ancient Era, slaughtered so that the starry sky saw a River of Blood!
Finally, it’s said that he was suppressed by a Great Heavenly Honor from the Heaven Realm who had one foot already stepped into the Palm Realm, and that’s why he vanished.
And yet, he’s appeared again?! Moreover, as this seemingly ordinary-looking middle-aged Daoist Lord?
But just as the situation was on the verge of exploding, with actions ready to start, a calm yet angrily imbued voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Old man Lingbao, I don’t care if you’re killing someone, but before that, I have to take care of my own concerns first!"
Hearing this, Spiritual Treasure Daoist squinted his eyes and suddenly turned to look outside the hall.
