Qin Jiuge spoke with impeccable courtesy.
After hearing his words, the Heavenly Yao Emperor finally gave a cold snort, grudgingly granting Qin Jiuge a measure of approval. "At least you know your place, brat. Otherwise, now and today, as your elder, I definitely would not have let you off lightly."
Then, before everyone's eyes, the Heavenly Yao Emperor stopped concealing himself and stared straight ahead.
As he spoke, strange phenomena faintly emerged behind him—the Golden Crow Dharma Aspect.
In that brief instant, the doubts of the surrounding crowd were largely dispelled.
They finally understood why the Heavenly Yao Emperor had felt no psychological burden whatsoever about devouring the Four Divine Beasts and Fierce Beasts.
In ancient times, the Golden Crow had never been on particularly good terms with divine beasts, fierce beasts, the Dragon Clan, or the Phoenix Clan.
There were even rumors that Golden Crows ordinarily fed on dragon liver and phoenix marrow.
Thus, the situation became perfectly clear.
"So that's how it is."
A look of realization appeared on Qin Jiuge's face.
The people beside him also began speaking in low voices.
The Heavenly Mystery Old Man said softly, "That does make sense."
The Heavenly Poison Great Emperor obediently nodded.
Feng Jiuqing smiled faintly. "I want the Vermilion Bird's Divine Phoenix Aspect. Though the Vermilion Bird is not a pure phoenix, it still possesses Phoenix Bloodline."
The Heavenly Yao Emperor frowned, then remembered that the other Yao beasts and Fierce Beasts had little to do with Feng Jiuqing, so he nodded.
However, as part of the bargain, he would have first choice over any Yao beasts or Fierce Beasts related to him. As for those unrelated to him, Feng Jiuqing was absolutely forbidden from setting such a precedent.
Their deal was struck.
Thereafter, their cooperation grew even closer.
