The atmosphere was incredibly awkward. The Great Emperor of Long Souls patiently tried to persuade the Netherworld True Fire with a forced smile.
Unfortunately, the Netherworld True Fire was completely unmoved by this, remaining motionless without uttering a single word.
This unyielding attitude truly enraged Emperor Changhun. Recalling everything that had just been shown in the video, Emperor Changhun could no longer remain seated.
"Hmph, Youming, dare you say you have no schemes of your own?"
"You dared to control my clan's elders, what else wouldn't you dare to do? In the end, the reason I would do something like exterminating my clan is simply because you few were seduced by this guy and could no longer see the light."
"But now, you are not entirely without a chance. As long as you swear an oath again, I will forgive and forget your past transgressions," the Great Emperor Changhun said firmly.
The elders exchanged bewildered glances, looking at the Great Emperor Changhun and then at the Netherworld True Fire, unsure of what to do.
After all, no matter what, the Great Emperor Changhun was the most powerful patriarch in the entire clan for thousands of years.
Without a doubt, he did lead his race, which was on the verge of decline, to survive.
Moreover, this kind of survival is not a life of dependence on others, but a life of dignity gained through plunder!
However, when faced with the questioning of the Great Emperor Changhun, Youming Zhenhuo, the person involved, merely snorted coldly, fully expressing his displeasure.
"Heh, since you put it that way, I'll leave now," Netherworld True Fire said coldly, his dark and unfathomable face carrying an inexplicable arrogance.
"From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine," said the Netherworld True Fire.
No matter what the Great Emperor of the Long Soul will become in the future, he does not yet have enough strength to challenge me.
Without strength, there is no capital. The fundamental reason why the Great Emperor Changhun was able to suppress the Netherworld True Fire in the video of the Great Ten Thousand Paths is still his own powerful strength.
However, upon hearing these words, the Great Emperor Changhun's expression stiffened.
He was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with the Netherworld True Fire, but his current strength was not yet sufficient to dominate a region.
Even if cultivators from the Valley Clan, Medicine Clan, and Stone Clan were to unite, they could very well disrupt his rhythm. If he were to lose the Netherworld True Fire at this moment, he would be in a very dangerous situation.
However, seeing the state of the Netherworld True Fire, it had already made up its mind and did not want to continue cooperating with the Long Soul Emperor.
Of course, it was actually the Netherworld True Fire that discovered that while he was cunning, the Great Emperor of Long Souls was even more cunning.
He was capable of scheming, but the Great Emperor Changhun was even more capable of scheming.
The actions of the Great Emperor Changhun in the final video chilled even the Netherworld True Fire, who considered himself to have committed countless evil deeds, let alone his subordinates whom he had ruthlessly killed.
Even if they don't choose to defect under the sweet talk of the Great Emperor Changhun, they will become far less dedicated than before. Some, even while still under the Great Emperor Changhun's command, have already started looking for better opportunities.
Seeing that the Great Emperor Changhun had not answered for a long time, the Netherworld True Fire snorted coldly again and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Emperor Changhun suddenly shouted at that moment.
The Netherworld True Fire paused slightly, turned around, and said, "With your current strength, do you think you can hold me back?"
This is no longer the case among the vast number of video websites. The power of the Great Emperor Changhun is not as great as that of the Netherworld True Fire. If the Netherworld True Fire really wants to leave, even if the Great Emperor Changhun and all the elders join forces, they may not be able to stop him.
"Don't forget, I now hold the lifeline of your race in my hands. If you really push me too far, I'll make your entire race pay for my death!" Netherworld True Fire continued.
These words caused the expressions of the elders under Emperor Changhun to change once again.
Their feelings were all complicated. At this moment, Emperor Changhun could say that he stood by their side without changing his expression, but no one could know what Emperor Changhun was really thinking.
Who can say for sure whether the Great Emperor Changhun truly wants to repent or is just putting on an act?
However, the current situation is even more complicated. Before this, the Netherworld True Fire had already bribed some of the elders, leaving fire seeds under their bodies under the pretext of helping them improve their strength, thus firmly grasping their lifelines.
These elders are currently caught in the middle, unable to align themselves with either the Great Emperor Changhun or the Netherworld True Fire. They are among the most unfortunate.
"Fellow Daoist of the Netherworld, you should think this through. Even if you leave my side now, where can you go?"
"Although this world is vast and boundless, do you think the other major Lineage will still tolerate you after I destroyed the Spirit Clan?"
"If what that video website with millions of followers says is true, then you'll be part of the effort to wipe out those races."
"They won't cause me any trouble in their haste, but they won't abandon you. After all, you still possess a considerable amount of energy."
The Great Emperor Changhun said meaningfully.
He knew better than anyone the inner workings of these elders from the major Lineage; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to seize the opportunity to take advantage of their vulnerability.
These guys might have been shocked and furious when they first saw their clan wiped out, but now they're probably already calculating how to maximize their profits.
For those powerful Lineage, their goal was not only to eliminate the Long Soul Emperor and the Netherworld True Fire, but also to make their Lineage completely dominate the world!
Achieving this goal requires enormous energy.
And the Netherworld True Fire just happens to meet this requirement!
It was only because he was by the side of the Great Emperor Changhun that the Netherworld True Fire was able to preserve its consciousness, which was also the promise the Great Emperor Changhun made to him.
However, they wouldn't be so merciful when dealing with the powerful Lineage.
Especially after witnessing what happened in the video, even if they joined forces, they would probably try to find a way to eliminate the Netherworld True Fire first.
The best way for Netherworld True Fire to deal with this now is to join forces with the Great Emperor of Long Soul to fight against the united Lineage.
Otherwise, he would only face certain death.
The Great Emperor Changhun's words made sense, and even the Netherworld True Fire couldn't help but fall silent.
Neither the Netherworld True Fire nor the Long Soul Emperor spoke, and the atmosphere inside the hall immediately became much more tense.
The Netherworld True Fire had long since withdrawn its oppressive aura, but the elders remained tense and dared not make a move. Too much had happened to them today!
