Yin Jianping sized up the young man before him.
The Great Flame Dynasty's Flame Emperor had abdicated, and a new emperor had ascended the throne—this had long since been announced to the world.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had received the news long ago as well, but he had not expected this Golden Emperor to be an ancient titan of the Human Immortal Realm.
This surprised him somewhat.
Golden Treasure stood with his arms crossed over his chest, sizing Yin Jianping up from head to toe as well.
"I came on my father's orders to deliver a few words to you."
"Do you want to hear my father's exact words, or my own interpretation of them?"
Yin Jianping frowned slightly, unable to hide his confusion.
"Who is your father?"
"Is there a difference between his exact words and your interpretation?"
Golden Treasure waved a hand, looking impatient.
"Forget it. I'd better tell you my father's exact words first, so you don't misunderstand them."
"My father is Lin Fei, the Flame Emperor. He said he hoped both sides could value peace. There's no need for fighting and killing."
"The group of Cultivators captured outside Heavenly Capital City will be released shortly. Consider it a gesture of goodwill toward the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the many Longevity Aristocratic Families."
Yin Jianping froze briefly, even more surprised.
He had assumed that even if those Cultivators who had failed to escape were not killed, the Great Flame Dynasty would still hold them prisoner, perhaps even use them as bargaining chips in negotiations.
Yet he had not expected Lin Fei to take the initiative and release them.
Could it be that Flame Emperor Lin Fei was afraid?
Otherwise, there was no need for Lin Fei to make such a "conciliatory" gesture.
Golden Treasure continued
