Yet the Heaven Dou Emperor seated at the head of the table showed no fear whatsoever.
Numerous soldiers stood all around, each equipped with finely made weapons and radiating murderous intent.
He leisurely swirled his wineglass, not a trace of fear visible in his eyes.
"So, His Holiness the Pope has no intention of accepting my proposal?"
His tone carried a hint of mockery.
The Pope of Spirit Hall had no Martial Soul and no Soul Power. What made her any different from an ordinary mortal?
She was nothing but useless trash.
The Heaven Dou Emperor sneered inwardly.
Bibi Dong's delicate brows furrowed at his words.
Ceding Spirit City and its surrounding territories to the Heaven Dou Empire, then paying tribute on top of that-this was naked robbery.
She suppressed her anger. "We will not cede any territory, nor will we pay you anything.
My offer remains the same. Every Spirit Hall Branch built within the Heaven Dou Empire will be handed over to you, along with its revenue. That is the greatest concession I can make."
"Hehehehe." The Heaven Dou Emperor set his wineglass on the table and laughed, slapping his thigh.
His laughter echoed through the hall, sounding rather jarring.
The Heaven Dou Emperor's smile vanished, and his tone turned icy.
"Did you think being addressed as His Holiness the Pope actually made you someone worthy of reverence? I am informing you, not negotiating. Know your place."
The Heaven Dou Emperor leaned back in his chair, waiting for Bibi Dong's answer.
"Are you trying to start a war with the Star Luo Empire?" Bibi Dong's gaze turned icy as well.
The Heaven Dou Emperor shook his head inwardly and waved a hand. The soldiers around them raised their Zhuge Repeating Crossbows, forged from refined iron, in perfect unison.
