Although the deal with the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon prevented Lin Fei from completing the mission perfectly, it was still better than failing the mission.
Lin Fei is only able to intimidate the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon by leveraging its fear of the Nine Heavens Emperor. If he pushes it too far and the two sides break off relations, then things will truly be very bad.
Although the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon before them was merely an avatar, all those present combined were probably no match for it.
……
Lin Fei has reached a deal with the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon. The Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon will no longer concern himself with the affairs here, and Lin Fei has also guaranteed to protect the lives of these few Great Saints of the Demon Clan and prevent the entire Demon Clan from being completely wiped out.
Their conversation was conducted through telepathic communication. Given the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon's cultivation level, no one present could hear the content of its conversation with Lin Fei.
To others, Lin Fei was standing still, staring at the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon for a long time, and no one knew what had happened between them.
Suddenly, the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon let out a long hiss, and its figure slowly dimmed, as if it might disappear at any moment.
The demon saints of the demon race were overjoyed after seeing the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon severely injure the Sage of War and the Sage of Confucianism. But now that the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon was about to disappear, they were all dumbfounded.
You must understand that all the hopes of the demon race are now pinned on the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon. If the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon disappears, the demon race will soon face the danger of annihilation.
"Lord Emperor Dragon!" the Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint cried out anxiously, "Where are you going? We haven't dealt with these damned humans yet!"
The demon saints beside them chimed in, "Lord Emperor Dragon, we used the Demon-Summoning Banner to summon you. You can't abandon us and the entire demon race!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon did not respond to the shouts of these demon saints, and did not even glance at them.
The Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon was inherently arrogant, not only towards humans but also towards those Great Sages who were supposed to be content. Lin Fei was only able to speak with the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon because of the Nine Heavens Emperor's influence. The Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon disdained to offer any explanation for its actions to anyone.
In the blink of an eye, the increasingly dim figure of the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon vanished from everyone's sight. This sudden turn of events was something neither the human nor the demon race had anticipated.
Originally, the demon race, relying on the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, displayed great power and severely injured two of the strongest saints among humans. It seemed that they were about to wipe out the human race in one fell swoop. However, unexpectedly, the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon suddenly disappeared.
Despair was written all over the faces of the demon saints. With the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon vanished, what means did they have to deal with these humans before them?
Although the Confucian Sage and the Military Sage have been severely injured by the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, the strength of the human race is still superior to that of the demon race. It should be noted that in order to summon the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, the demon race also paid the price of three demon saints.
After a moment of stunned silence, the human saints finally reacted, and everyone was overjoyed. Although they did not know why the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon had suddenly left, its departure was great news for the human race present.
Immediately, a human sage proclaimed, "Heaven truly blesses our human race! Let us seize this opportunity and wipe out the demon race in one fell swoop!"
The human saints were all eager to fight and were ready to go up and deal with the remaining demon saints.
But at that moment, Lin Fei suddenly stepped forward, blocking the path of these human saints, and said calmly, "These demon saints must not be killed!"
"Why can't we kill him?" The human saints all showed displeasure as they saw Lin Fei blocking their way. Now that the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon had left, the demon race was clearly no match for the human race, and it was a good opportunity to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop. But they never expected to be blocked by their own people.
Lin Fei said, "This is the deal I made with the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon. The price for letting it leave was to spare the lives of these few demon saints and the entire demon race. Therefore, these demon saints must not be killed!"
Upon hearing Lin Fei's words, the expressions on the faces of the human saints varied, with many showing a complete disbelief.
This is understandable. Who is the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon? He is a renowned figure from ancient times, even more powerful than a great emperor. Lin Fei is merely a minor figure at the Dharma Aspect Realm; why would the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon trade with him?
Immediately, the human saints spoke up one after another.
"Boy, stop spouting nonsense. What kind of status does that Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon have? Why would he make a deal with you?"
"Get out of the way! This demon race has oppressed our human race for many years. Now is the perfect opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop. As a human, why are you speaking on behalf of the demon race?"
"I've heard that the demon race has to pay a considerable price to use the Demon-Summoning Banner, and they might not be able to summon the ancient demon saint again. So why should we be afraid of them?"
……
The human sages spoke one after another, their unspoken message being that they should seize this golden opportunity to completely eradicate the demon race. They believed that if the weeds weren't cut at the root, they would spring back to life; they absolutely could not let this golden opportunity slip by and give the demon race a chance to regroup.
Lin Fei didn't want to argue too much with these human saints, and simply said, "With the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon's cultivation level, if he wanted to show himself here, he wouldn't necessarily need the Demon-Summoning Banner. If you are confident that you can deal with the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, then please do as you please!"
As he spoke, Lin Fei turned his body to the side, seemingly ready to abandon the matter. His demeanor, however, made the human saints hesitate once again.
Indeed, as Lin Fei said, the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon is an unparalleled powerhouse at the Celestial Immortal realm. He is the only one of his kind in all realms—past, present, and future.
As the only beings in all realms, powerful beings at the Celestial Immortal realm can freely travel through time and descend to any place in any of the myriad realms.
Although the human saints were somewhat skeptical that Lin Fei could reach an agreement with the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, if it were truly as Lin Fei claimed, and he had made a deal with the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon to make it retreat, then if the human saints violated this deal, they might incur the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon's wrath and cause it to descend once more.
The human saints couldn't understand how a mere Dharma Aspect realm cultivator could make a deal with the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon, or why the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon would give him such face. But they couldn't afford to gamble.
If the Nine Heavens Emperor Dragon were to descend once more, it would be a catastrophe for the entire human race.
The human saints stood still for a long time, and in the end, none of them stepped forward to attack those demon saints again.
