Inside the main hall of the Battle Heaven Pavilion sect in the Fourth Heaven!
Situ Jiannan and his team have already returned in triumph.
Although the Battle Heaven Pavilion paid the price of over ten thousand disciples' lives in this full-scale annihilation of the Fire Clan.
However, the Fire Clan suffered a devastating blow.
The Fire Clan and its affiliated sects suffered no fewer than 200,000 casualties in this battle.
Furthermore, Fire Clan sects from the Ninefold Heaven to the Third Heaven were wiped out.
After this, it will take a million years for the Fire Clan to recover the strength of its lower-level disciples.
Just as the celebration was taking place inside the main hall.
Lin Heng, seated at the head of the table, spoke up to remind him:
"We have won a great victory in this battle and it is now over."
"But we must not let our guard down."
" The Fire Clan's elite forces are concentrated in the First Heaven, and they weren't mobilized this time."
"So we haven't damaged the Fire Clan's core."
Situ Jiannan echoed Lin Heng's words.
"What you say is absolutely right, Master."
"As long as the Fire Separation Saint Emperor and those powerful figures from the First Heaven the Fire Clan are still around."
"Then they can establish new power in the lower realms at any time."
"And we just conducted a major sweep of the Fire Clan; they might retaliate soon."
We should start preparing now.
Hearing Situ Jiannan's words, Lin Heng smiled and nodded.
No matter the situation, Situ Jiannan can always remain calm and objectively analyze everything, which is one of the reasons why Lin Heng values him so much.
Sun Yuan, somewhat impatiently, said from the side:
"In my opinion, we should just go straight to the First Heaven and wipe out the Fire Clan's sects as well."
"The reason why Fire Separation Saint Emperor and his group didn't make a move this time is most likely because they were being held back by Ao Zhantian."
"What if we directly attack the Fire Clan sect at the First Heaven?"
" Ao Zhantian and the others will also support him."
"Wouldn't it be better to take this opportunity to annihilate the Fire Clan in one fell swoop?"
Sun Yuan is now itching for another fight, eager to start another great battle immediately.
After all, when he was dealing with the Fire Clan before, Lin Heng stopped him, and he might have made a move.
How could the ever-warlike Sun Yuan tolerate this?
However, Lin Heng directly rejected his opinion.
Things aren't as simple as you think.
"This time, it was Fire Separation Saint Emperor's misconduct that prevented the other seven royal families from intervening."
"If they were to directly attack the Fire Clan sect at the First Heaven Realm, the other seven royal clans would inevitably intervene."
"In this way, it will become a great war across the entire Nine Heavens."
" The Eight Great Imperial Clans are unwilling to accept this, and so are we."
Although Lin Heng was not afraid of the Eight Great Imperial Clans, he was not so arrogant as to believe that he could shake the Eight Great Imperial Clans with the current strength of the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
Sun Yuan looked displeased upon hearing this, but Lin Heng laughed and said:
"Rest assured, based on the strength we demonstrated this time..."
" The Eight Great Saint Emperors will not stand idly by and watch us continue to grow stronger."
"You'll have plenty of opportunities to take action in the days to come."
After hearing Lin Heng's words, Sun Yuan finally smiled.
While everyone in the main hall was still chatting, a disciple suddenly came in with a flustered expression to report something.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the Fire Clan's Fire Separation Saint Emperor is requesting an audience outside the sect."
When these words rang out in the main hall, everyone was somewhat stunned.
The Fire Separation Saint Emperor has come to request an audience?
Logically speaking, even if this guy were to come, shouldn't he be leading a large army to attack Battle Heaven Pavilion?
What the heck is this "requesting an audience"?
For a moment, Sun Yuan and the others were all baffled as to what Fire Separation Saint Emperor Huang was up to.
Lin Heng and Situ Jiannan exchanged a glance, and they vaguely guessed each other's purpose in coming here.
Situ Jiannan said with a solemn expression:
"Master, it seems that the Fire Separation Saint Emperor has come for those traitors of the Fire Clan."
Lin Heng nodded, his expression also looking rather unpleasant.
Lin Heng was not afraid of Fire Separation Saint Emperor directly attacking Battle Heaven Pavilion.
Even though he is not yet a match for the Fire Separation Saint Emperor.
Lin Heng, however, remained confident that he could prevent the enemy from breaking through the Battle Heaven Pavilion's defenses.
But what Lin Heng feared most was this guy calming down.
A calm and thoughtful lion is the most terrifying.
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Heng made a decision: to send Good Avatar to bring Fire Separation Saint Emperor in first.
After Good Avatar and his disciple left, Lin Heng continued:
Those who betrayed the Fire Clan are not important to us.
"But since the Fire Separation Saint Emperor Huo Li has come in person, this is a good opportunity to squeeze another sum out of the Fire Clan."
The disciples can never have too many cultivation resources.
Since someone is offering resources to our doorstep, why not take them?
Upon hearing Lin Heng's words, Sun Yuan and the others offered their own opinions.
"In my opinion, this time we should at least get the Fire Clan to provide ten million Source Stone, along with countless spiritual treasures and herbs."
"I think so too. A spiritual treasure must be at least Heavenly Venerable Spirit Treasure, and a spiritual treasure must be at least ten million years old."
"I think it's still too little. Why not just have Fire Separation Saint Emperor Primordial Chaos Spirit Treasure of the Fire Clan?"
"Come on, Primordial Chaos Spirit Treasure? The Fire Separation Saint Emperor would never give it up."
As everyone was discussing amongst themselves, Lin Heng sensed the aura of the Fire Separation Saint Emperor and quickly signaled to temporarily stop the discussion.
A short while later, Good Avatar led Fire Separation Saint Emperor and Yan Yan in.
As the two Fire Clan members stepped into the main hall of the Battle Heaven Pavilion, they met Lin Heng's gaze.
The Fire Separation Saint Emperor was filled with many emotions.
Not long ago, Lin Heng was just an ant that he could crush with a single finger.
But now, the ants of the past have the power to negotiate with him, and he is even the one who has to bow down to negotiate.
This turn of events prompted Fire Separation Saint Emperor to reveal a wry smile.
"What brings you Fire Separation Saint Emperor Shiranui, here?"
Lin Heng didn't waste any words and asked directly.
Given the current relationship, is there any need for empty formalities?
The Fire Separation Saint Emperor collected his thoughts and replied solemnly:
"Pavilion Master Lin Heng, I have come to the Battle Heaven Pavilion for the sake of my Fire Clan's surrendered soldiers. I hope that Pavilion Master Lin Heng can allow them to return with me."
Fire Separation Saint Emperor finished speaking, Sun Yuan and the others secretly chuckled.
Just as Lin Heng had guessed, the Fire Separation Saint Emperor had come for those who had defected.
Lin Heng smiled and said:
" Fire Separation Saint Emperor, they came to the Battle Heaven Pavilion not because I forced them."
"Besides, you should know perfectly well why things turned out this way."
How could the Fire Separation Saint Emperor not understand Lin Heng's words?
He had already given it ample thought before coming.
At this moment, he also took out a storage ring, waved his hand, and used his Power of Origin to control and send it to Lin Heng.
" Lin Heng, to express my apology, this is my compensation to the Battle Heaven Pavilion."
As soon as he finished speaking, the storage ring flew right in front of Lin Heng.
Grabbing the storage ring, Lin Heng channeled his soul power into it and quickly accessed the items inside.
Lin Heng raised an eyebrow slightly after seeing the compensation offered by the Fire Separation Saint Emperor.
I guessed they came with great sincerity, but I didn't expect them to be so generous.
