"Greetings, Your Majesty Martial God!"
After the young man in black steadied himself, he respectfully bowed to Su Wen.
Their attitude was extremely respectful.
He witnessed everything that just happened.
Faced with such a powerful opponent, he couldn't even muster the thought of running away.
Most importantly, to run away under the nose of such a powerful figure would be suicidal, wouldn't it?
His only chance of survival at this moment depends on the mood of this powerful figure.
A wise man knows when to yield. It wasn't easy for him to cultivate to the Emperor Rank Limit. He hadn't even had a chance to properly enjoy his life, and he didn't want to die so hastily.
Those bastards in the clan!
Wasn't it said that Huaxia would only send Emperor Rank Heavenly Mandate Bearer for rescue at most?
Is this even at the Emperor Rank?
That slap just now was almost stronger than the slaps delivered by several of the clan's princes!
"Now, I'll ask, and you'll answer."
Su Wen said, "If your answer satisfies me, I won't kill you."
At this stage, the most important thing is deterrence.
Especially for the unknown Demon Spirit Clan, if he kills two Emperor Rank Limit, wouldn't the Demon Spirit Clan lose their firsthand information?
This goes against his original intention!
"Your Majesty, please ask!"
The young man in black bowed respectfully again, bending so deeply that his head almost touched the ground.
"What is the purpose of your Demon Spirit Clan's trip here?"
"Your Majesty, our Demon Spirit Clan has come here to test whether Your Majesty the God of Wealth is still alive."
"The God of Wealth recently perished; why are you still testing him?"
"Several princes within the clan issued decrees, stating that in this era, the God of Wealth would certainly not perish in such a way, especially not so frivolously at the hands of the Snow Spirit Clan."
"What does this era... mean?"
Su Wen raised an eyebrow, gleaning key words from the other person's tone.
He roughly knew what "epoch" meant.
But this era, with its qualifier, especially since it specifically refers to the God of Wealth, is quite different.
The concept of eras has a long history in our culture.
The young man in black didn't hesitate and said directly, "I don't know the specific timeframe, nor do I understand what it means."
All I know is that at the end of each era, a Great Nirvana will take place.
"In the face of rebirth, only the weak and the strong survive."
Su Wen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked solemnly, "Does this Nirvana mean the Destruction of the world and then a new beginning?"
The young man in black shook his head and said, "I don't know. I've only heard my master mention it. My master said that Nirvana is extremely cruel, and only the extremely weak and the extremely strong can survive."
"The rest will perish beneath that Nirvana."
"As for whether Nirvana is the Destruction of the world followed by rebirth, my master never mentioned it, and there are no related records within the clan. I think... it shouldn't be."
Su Wen continued, "What does the statement 'The God of Wealth will not perish' mean?"
The young man in black thought for a moment and then said, "I only received a mission from my clan to come here and probe."
"Using a small clan as a pawn, they lured in a Heavenly Mandate Bearer one from within Huaxia, named Li Wenze, who was associated with the God of Wealth, through various means."
"Next, they demanded the deposit back from Huaxia."
"If Huaxia pays the deposit honestly, the Demon Witch Clan will kill the hostage after receiving the deposit."
"Next, let's see Huaxia's reaction."
"According to the signs of fate, if a top expert Descender from Huaxia, it's highly likely that the God of Wealth has not perished."
The young man in black paused, then continued, "If Huaxia hadn't paid the deposit in the first place, a powerful expert might have even Descender, and one of them would have been at least at the Emperor Rank."
"That almost certainly means that His Majesty the God of God of Wealth has not perished."
"I remember learning some basic information when I accepted the mission."
"It means that in ancient times, my Demon Spirit Clan made a promise, and several of our esteemed members were witnesses to that ancient promise."
"As long as the God of Wealth lives, the demons will not emerge!"
"Therefore, if His Majesty the God of God of Wealth does not perish, my Demon Spirit Clan will continue to lie low, awaiting the arrival of a certain day in the future."
Upon hearing this, Su Wen asked, "What is the relationship between your Demon Spirit Clan and the Holy Spirit Clan?"
Demon!
Holy Spirit!
These all seem to be somewhat related.
If these aren't two different races using different identities, they're probably from the same race or opposing groups.
"According to our ancestors, the Holy Spirit Clan seems to be a race that emerged tens of thousands of years ago."
The young man in black spoke up, "It's quite mysterious. In truth, my clan upholds an ancient oath and does not wish to clash with it."
"But I've heard that because of the name 'Holy Spirit Clan,' my clan and the Holy Spirit Clan once fought a war."
Ultimately, the fight resulted in both sides suffering heavy losses.
"It seems that only after this battle did our clan establish a border, allowing us to recuperate for many years."
Su Wen's expression remained unchanged, and he suddenly asked, "Then what is the attitude of your Demon Spirit Clan towards the Heavenly Mandate Bearer?"
The Demon Spirit Clan in front of me, judging from his tone and the meaning he conveyed, seemed to lean towards the Demon Spirit Clan Heavenly Mandate Bearer's lineage.
But how could he possibly believe the Demon Spirit Clan's friendliness towards the Heavenly Mandate Bearer based solely on the other party's word?
Joke!
The other person's life is now in your hands; if you don't say something nice, are you just trying to hasten your own death?
So just listen to these words, and that's it!
It's possible that nine parts are true and one part is false; the truly crucial information might be given falsely to mislead you.
"I suspect it leans towards the Heavenly Mandate Bearer."
The young man in black thought for a moment and said, "After all, the atmosphere within the clan, and the conversations about the Chosen Heavenly Mandate Bearer, always reveal concern and worry from the clan's higher-ups."
Su Wen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then what's the meaning of your companion's words?"
"Before they know my strength, they want me to die happily, and then they want to search my soul."
"Is this a sign of a friendly attitude?"
As he spoke, Su Wen pointed at Li Wenze.
"Is this what you call a friendly gesture—to tormenting the Heavenly Mandate Bearer of Huaxia, even preparing to kill them after a failed test?"
"Is this how you Demon Spirit Clan treat your friends?"
The young man in black. "..."
Grass!
How is he supposed to explain this?
In an instant, things couldn't be salvaged.
"Martial God Majesty, God of War, please understand that I am not familiar with the guy who came with me on this mission."
The young man in black said with a look of grief and indignation, "The other party has connections. His grandfather is the third elder of the clan, his background is astonishing."
"Because of this background, the other party developed this arrogant and domineering habit of searching people's souls at the slightest disagreement."
"I find his beastly behavior utterly despicable."
"But there's nothing I can do. I'm just a little demon spirit raised in an ordinary family. In terms of power and background, I simply can't resist their decisions and demands."
"All of this was truly arranged by the other party."
"I wanted to stop it, but I had absolutely no say in it!"
"Your Majesty, I hope you can understand; after all, every race has its share of beasts and perverts."
