Disgraced and Forced to Cede Two Regions

"Mu Tianji, I swear in the name of the Saint that I will never restart the alliance. Are you satisfied now?"

The Yellow Springs Saint looked at the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord and spoke in a deep voice.

Until this moment.

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord smiled and said, "Brother Huang Quan's word is as good as gold, and I certainly believe him, but..."

"Mu Tianji, there's no need to pretend. Just state any other conditions you have."

"Since Brother Huang Quan is so understanding, then this old man will speak..."

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord hesitated for a moment, then chuckled, "Since the Asura Divine Sect no longer wants to sit in the position of ruler of the Nine Provinces, then ultimately it's Heavenly Lake's turn to clean up their mess. As you've seen, after this great war, the various forces in the Nine Provinces are disaffected and lack sufficient benefits; it's difficult to manage any of them..."

"What do you want?" the Yellow Springs Saint asked through gritted teeth.

"Why not let the Asura Divine Sect hand over the two regions of Central Province, so that I can restore stability to the Nine Provinces?"

The Asura Divine Sect controls three regions in the Central Province, each of which is vast and a blessed land.

Now, they have to hand over two domains at once.

That would be extremely difficult to agree to.

"If my Asura Divine Sect doesn't hand it over, what will happen to Heavenly Lake?" the Yellow Springs Saint asked tentatively in a low voice.

"It is feared that Saint may perish..."

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord were merely a casual remark.

But this sent a chill down the spine of the Spear Saint was lying prostrate on the ground.

Is that even a question?

If Saint were to fall, it would almost certainly be him.

At this moment, the Asura Divine Lord stared nervously at the Ancestor.

A look of struggle appeared in the eyes of the Yellow Springs Saint. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Very well! The Western Heaven and the Liyang Domains will be handed over to Heavenly Lake. I ask Heavenly Lake to take the trouble to reorganize the situation in the Nine Provinces."

"Nature."

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord spoke calmly.

After saying that, he dissipated the power that had been suppressing the Spear Saint.

After escaping, the Spear Saint was filled with lingering fear.

I almost lost my life.

If the Yellow Springs Saint is unwilling to abandon the two realms, the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord is certainly not a merciful person and will definitely kill him immediately.

The negotiations with the Asura Divine Sect ended amicably.

The Spear Saint and the Yellow Springs Saint tore through the void one after the other.

We left this place.

Although the Yellow Springs Saint did not fight to the death in this battle, he was still extremely exhausted by the relentless pursuit and stalling tactics of the Saint Wangyou.

After the two Saint departed one after the other.

The Asura Divine Lord didn't linger and left with the group of powerful members of the Asura Divine Sect.

At this time.

Those forces abandoned by the alliance were left helpless.

The Yellow Springs Saint swore never to restart the alliance and ceded two domains to Heavenly Lake. Although he didn't say it on the surface, he was actually apologizing and bowing to Heavenly Lake.

In this way.

This completely cut off their escape route.

Those forces that had previously acted as lackeys were now trembling with fear.

They dared not leave.

Who knows if Heavenly Lake will hold a grudge later?

Even the top ten powers, who were also giants in Central Province, were filled with regret.

Who could have imagined it would end like this?

The great battle that just took place must have been witnessed by Heavenly Lake.

The forces led by the Dragon-Seeking Sect, Yin-Yang Holy Land, Star God Palace, and Snow God Pavilion have chosen to oppose the alliance and will therefore become closer to Heavenly Lake in the future.

As for the forces that joined the Asura Divine Sect Alliance, they were all extremely terrified.

They've chosen the wrong side this time!

Even some smaller factions may face annihilation.

But.

After waiting for a long time...

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord did not seem to concern himself with this matter.

At last.

An elder from Heavenly Lake told all the factions to return and recuperate.

The place gradually returned to peace.

However, not intervening now does not mean that this matter can be taken lightly.

They were all fully aware of this.

"Brother Mu, now that this matter is settled, this old man will not linger any longer. We shall meet again another day."

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Saint Wangyou."

In terms of seniority, the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord is actually lower than the Yellow Springs Saint and the Saint Wangyou, as he only achieved the position of Saint in the last thousand years.

The Saint Wangyou was a very ancient predecessor.

Therefore, the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord treated this senior with great courtesy.

After the people from the Yin-Yang Holy Land left, the giants of super forces such as the Star God Palace, Snow God Pavilion, and Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor also left one after another.

Finally.

In this world, only the people of Heavenly Lake remain.

Of course, Chen Ning was also kept behind.

He followed the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord to a secluded courtyard.

After the two sat down, Chen Ning couldn't help but ask, "Why did you let the Spear Saint and the others go? Why not eliminate them completely and prevent future troubles?"

Chen Ning felt that if the Saint Wangyou could hold off the Yellow Springs Saint, they could at least wipe out the Spear Saint and the Asura Divine Lord in one fell swoop.

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord gave a wry smile and said, "That Yellow Springs Saint still has some trump cards up his sleeve. If we fight head-on, things might change. Besides, our Nine Provinces Realm really can't afford to continue this internal strife."

"The Asura Divine Sect is ambitious and will inevitably rise again sooner or later; it is a scourge."

Chen Ning was well aware of the immense ambition of the Asura Divine Lord.

"The Asura Divine Sect must be eradicated, but not now. The Nine Provinces Realm needs a breather, and you, more importantly, need to grow."

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord smiled and said, "You've reaped the greatest rewards this time. Not only have you amazed the world, but you've also seized the treasure from those Beyond the Heavens."

"Just lucky, just lucky." Chen Ning scratched his head.

"The reason I kept you here is to avoid being disturbed. You should spend the next few days at Heavenly Lake studying the contents of that spatial bag."

"Senior Mu is indeed very thoughtful."

At this moment, the entire Nine Provinces probably knows the name "Beyond the Heavens".

Although some people still don't understand, there are always smart people.

Even more remarkably, some could vaguely discern the connection between the Beyond the Heavens and Nine Provinces.

So.

The spatial pouches left behind by such figures contain enough to drive any being mad.

The Spear Saint, in particular, made no attempt to conceal his greed.

So.

At this point, Chen Ning needed time to investigate what kind of methods and treasures were inside.

If only we could obtain the power of those mysterious black patterns.

That would be an even bigger win.

Furthermore, Chu Xuanyuan is currently trapped inside that spatial bag.

It will also take time to conduct a thorough interrogation.

The Little Black embroidered on the black spatial bag is the spirit of this object.

Because they were completely controlled by Chen Ning, they now served Chen Ning as their master.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about Chu Xuanyuan getting there first, as the spirit snake has already sealed Chu Xuanyuan alone within a spatial constraint.

As for Chu Xuanyuan.

Chen Ning also had a bold idea.

There are actually many talented people around Three Quarters Past Noon, and they speak very well. If we could recruit them, they would be a great help.

Thinking of this, Chen Ning couldn't help but ask, "Senior Mu, do you know the origin of 'Three Quarters Past Noon'?"

"The Three Quarters Past Noon' organization has existed for no more than a thousand years. It was founded by Chu Xuanyuan and initially just gathered a group of desperados. None of the powers in the Nine Provinces paid any attention to it, regarding it as a small organization composed of villains. Such an existence would certainly not attract the attention of the Central Province."

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord recalled:

"It wasn't until later, when those people began to frequently commit evil deeds throughout the Nine Provinces, disregarding the rules of the Nine Provinces, and using mysterious methods, that they slowly came into the sights of the Central Province."
