The members of the seven royal families planned to leave.
Given the current situation, even the Fire Clan couldn't win a verbal battle against the Battle Heaven Pavilion, so naturally, nothing more was said.
Seeing that the members of the seven royal families were showing signs of backing down, Yan Luo also began to consider leaving.
Without the backing of the seven royal families, for a Second-Grade Heavenly Venerable like him to continue causing trouble in the Battle Heaven Pavilion is only possible if he has taken a liking to the feng shui of the Battle Heaven Pavilion and wants to rest there forever.
But Yan Luo turned to leave, and Lin Heng would never agree to that.
" The Fire Clan comes and goes as they please. Isn't that a blatant disregard for the Battle Heaven Pavilion?"
Lin Heng's words made Yan Luo freeze as he turned around.
Turning around, Yan Luo cautiously asked tentatively, "Sect Master Lin Heng, are you perhaps declaring war on my Fire Clan?"
They immediately slap a big label on you; this kind of behavior seems to have become the norm for the Fire Clan.
Of course, it's not hard to see that in the past, the Fire Clan probably gained a lot of advantage by using such words when facing other Ascenders forces, which fueled their arrogance.
But Lin Heng wasn't buying it!
"If your Fire Clan cannot give me a satisfactory explanation today, what good will it do to declare war?"
"If anything happens in the Eighth Heaven from now on, it will all be blamed on my Battle Heaven Pavilion. Does that mean anyone can come here, trample on the dignity of my Battle Heaven Pavilion, and then leave?"
Lin Heng's icy voice and the murderous intent gradually emerging in his eyes told Yan Luo that he was not joking.
Yan Luo quickly turned around to look at the representatives of the seven royal families who had not yet left.
pity--
When he looked over, the gazes of the dozens of people from the seven royal families involuntarily shifted away, refusing to meet his eyes.
Some were looking at the ground, seemingly counting how many ants were crawling across it.
Some were looking at the sky, which was particularly beautiful today, captivating their gaze.
But no one was willing to look into Yan Luo's weak and helpless eyes.
Yan Luo began to inwardly groan.
If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off reporting it to my superiors. Even if I were to be punished, it would have been better than falling into Lin Heng's hands.
Even though his heart was screaming, Lin Heng still had to get past this hurdle first.
Yan Luo's eyes darted around, then he lowered his posture, bowed slightly, and asked, "Pavilion Master Lin Heng, this was a moment of impulsiveness on my part, and I was not thinking things through. I hope Pavilion Master Lin Heng will forgive me."
Yan Luo naturally understood that an apology wouldn't be enough to make Lin Heng let it go.
Based on Lin Heng's past deeds, Yan Luo could also judge Lin Heng's character: once he became an enemy, he would fight to the death.
Fortunately, Yan Luo had heard about Lin Heng's deal with certain people within the Fire Clan. He decided to give it a try and transmitted his voice to Lin Heng, saying, "Sect Leader Lin Heng, would you be interested in making a deal with me?"
A deal with the Fire Clan?
Lin Heng became interested!
After all, both transactions with them brought Lin Heng considerable gains.
"Explain!"
Lin Heng replied with a single word, without revealing his emotions.
Yan Luo started to feel uneasy, unsure of the other party's thoughts, and naturally found it difficult to gauge the appropriate level of negotiation.
But since things had already come to this point, he had no choice but to concede. "I have learned from above that the Four Lords and Eight Generals are about to take action against Lin Heng Master Lin Heng. If Pavilion Master Lin Heng is willing to let me go today, then I am willing to tell you all of my Fire Clan's plans."
Lin Heng did not reply immediately, but instead began to carefully consider the matter.
From Yan Luo's words, we can learn that the Four Lords and Eight Generals of the Fire Clan are still plotting how to deal with him.
These twelve guys are not like Yan Lie and Yan Lang, who have broken through to the Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable. They have truly stepped into the realm of the Dao and are beings who are infinitely close to the Heavenly Dao.
Last time, it wasn't even the main body who came in person. If Lin Heng's Dao Realm hadn't been so powerful, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Even if the true master were to personally appear, Lin Heng wouldn't be absolutely certain he could outmaneuver the opponent.
If Yan Luo could tip them off in advance, it would indeed prevent them from launching another sneak attack.
After all, the Fire Clan didn't dare to take direct action, otherwise, if the Ascenders forces found solid evidence against them, this matter wouldn't be so easy to deal with.
Yan Luo's offer was indeed very attractive, but Lin Heng knew that it was by no means the other party's bottom line.
Is that all?
After pondering for a few seconds, Lin Heng responded to Yan Luo with a disdainful snort.
Hearing this contemptuous voice, Yan Luo felt a surge of anxiety.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke again, "If Pavilion Master Lin Heng is willing to exchange three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and a million Source Stone, I can give you the lives of the Four Lords and Eight Generals."
Lin Heng's eyes lit up; he naturally didn't think Yan Luo was making baseless accusations.
Never underestimate a seemingly insignificant person; they may be the ones who bring down the big shots.
Since Yan Luo dared to negotiate with me at this time, and even made such insane demands, he must have his own methods.
Lin Heng softened his tone and asked with a smile, "I can give you the things, but how can I trust you to do it?"
Yan Luo breathed a sigh of relief. Since Lin Heng was willing, he had shown the utmost sincerity. "It's not convenient to discuss details now. If Pavilion Master Lin Heng trusts me, please let me off the hook for today. I will personally visit your pavilion tonight and agree to Pavilion Master Lin Heng's conditions. I will also fulfill them after I send one person over. How about that?"
"Fine, but I'm warning you beforehand: if you can't do this, even if you hide in a Fire Clan sect in the First Heaven, I will one day grind you to dust and condemn you to eternal damnation."
After Lin Heng finished speaking, Yan Luo's face did not change at all. His calm expression made Lin Heng nod in approval. It seemed that the other party did have a solution.
The deal has been struck, but letting Yan Luo go like this would definitely arouse suspicion, so it's necessary to put on a show.
" Yan Luo, today, out of consideration for the seven royal families who came with you, I can spare your life for now, but a minor punishment is still necessary as a warning."
Lin Heng gave a cold shout and suddenly raised his right hand.
An invisible energy shot out from Lin Heng's sleeve and struck Yan Luo in an instant.
'puff!'
Before Yan Luo could even react to Lin Heng's attack, he spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, his aura weakening.
After sitting slumped on the ground for more than ten seconds, Yan Luo finally managed to stand up, his body swaying unsteadily.
After deliberately giving Lin Heng a fierce look, Yan Luo waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
With a resentful look in his eyes, Yan Luo left with the Fire Clan members, without even saying goodbye to the seven royal families.
But it is precisely because of this that the seven royal families will not be aroused by suspicion.
With even Yan Luo gone, there was no need for the experts from the other seven families to stay any longer. They all turned and left with their clan members.
Little did they know that while the Eight Great Imperial Clans were leaving, the five Ascenders were watching the farce they were making in the Battle Heaven Pavilion through the Mystic Light Mirror within their respective sects.
