Ye Chen looked at Shen Wuyan and said softly, "Master, why don't we go out and meet them?"
Shen Wuyan nodded in agreement, then looked at Ye Lingtian beside him, wondering what this Ye family patriarch was thinking.
Ye Lingtian hesitated for a moment before following her out. Ting'er's physical condition had been resolved; now it was time to see the Dark Temple's attitude.
The three of them went out together. The little boy outside was startled. He thought that the situation inside was the same as it had been hundreds of years ago, with only the temple master inside.
The child led the three powerful figures to a conference hall, where three figures were already present. One of them was Elder Peng from the Human Race Temple. Upon learning that Ye Chen had not perished, he became much more energetic and took the initiative to undertake some business.
For example, the hospitality we receive now.
The other two figures were rather dark-skinned, with black dominating both their faces and clothing.
The objects around them lost much of their luster under the influence of their blackness.
These two figures were the First Elder and the Third Elder of the Dark Temple.
The fact that two elders were dispatched at once, and both were senior figures like the First Elder and the Third Elder, demonstrates the extreme importance the Dark Temple attaches to this cooperation.
"Elder Peng, it's been more than ten minutes, why hasn't the Temple Master arrived yet?" The Grand Elder of the Dark Temple rubbed his teacup and complained.
Elder Peng didn't want to offend this, the Grand Elder who had already stepped into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm said slowly, "It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon. A young servant has already gone to inform them, and they'll be here soon."
"As soon as possible," the elder said, before continuing to drink his tea.
"Haha, I am sorry that my hospitality has been inadequate for the honored guest."
A hearty laugh rang out, and then Shen Wuyan and the other two immediately walked in.
Upon seeing this, Elder Peng in the conference hall, along with the two elders from the Dark Temple, simultaneously stood up and made a respectful gesture of request to Shen Wuyan.
Shen Wuyan simply waved his hand, then sat down in the head seat of the conference hall, while Ye Lingtian and Ye Chen casually found seats to sit down.
Neither of them cared about rank. In a world where strength reigns supreme, a higher level of attainment is the true capital of a person's power.
The Grand Elder of the Dark Temple didn't recognize Ye Lingtian, nor did Ye Chen, because Ye Chen had subtly altered his appearance, making it impossible for the people of the Dark Temple to tell the difference.
He also put away the Dragon Roar Sword.
After the Grand Elder saw Shen Wuyan sit down, he first flattered him, saying how spirited, powerful, and compassionate Shen Wuyan was, and how well he took care of everyone in the human temple.
Shen Wuyan simply smiled and brushed aside these words, explaining that he was just an ordinary person who, as the temple master, had to do his job and take on the corresponding responsibilities.
The conversation lasted for ten minutes.
Mo Ping, the Grand Elder of the Dark Temple, felt the time was right and it was time to get straight to the point.
So he stood up and bowed respectfully to the God of No Words, saying, "Temple Master, a few days ago, the Star Temple unilaterally announced that it would go to war with my Dark Temple."
"This attack was completely without reason, and my Dark Temple lost four elders because of it."
"The enemy has no legitimate reason to attack. I believe that our Dark Temple will surely win. However, at present, we do not have enough strong people. The reason we came to your temple is to hope that we can cooperate with the Human Temple."
"When we defeat the Star Temple together, the human race can take the lion's share of the final spoils, while the Dark Temple will take the smaller share."
Shen Wuyan picked up a cup of celestial tea that the maid had just brewed, took a few sips, looked at Mo Ping who had a very eager expression, and sneered inwardly.
The gods and goddesses of the Starry Sky Temple are descendants of his disciple Ye Chen, and also descendants of the powerful senior Ye Lingtian. If I were to cooperate with your Dark Temple, I would have to be completely out of my mind.
“We appreciate your kindness, but our human temple has always maintained a neutral stance. You can discuss this with other temples.”
"Our human temple will not interfere in the dispute between your two temples."
The Grand Elder probably already guessed that Shen Wuyan would have this attitude, and directly took out three items from his Qiankun bag.
These are the Immortal Artifact Demon-Slaying Whip, the Immortal Artifact Wind-Melting Furnace, and the Immortal Elixir Breaking Pill.
The "Immortal-Breaking Pill" here doesn't literally mean destroying an Immortal-level expert. Rather, it can help a late-stage Golden Immortal to enter the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm without any obstacles.
A peak-level Great Luo Golden Immortal has a 50% chance of reaching the Immortal Lord level.
To put it bluntly, this Broken Immortal Pill is even more valuable than the previous Soul-Replenishing Pill, ranking among the top immortal pills.
Elder Peng gasped when he saw the three items.
Leaving aside the astonishing Immortal-Breaking Pill, the Demon-Slaying Whip and the Wind-Melting Furnace alone are extraordinary creations.
A Golden Immortal expert wielding such a mid-to-high-grade immortal artifact, if at the peak level, would be able to fight against some Grand Luo Golden Immortal experts.
If you're lucky, it's not impossible to kill him on the spot.
It seems the Dark Temple came with sincerity.
But Elder Peng was puzzled, because among these people, he was the only one who gasped in surprise.
The temple master and the two men in blue robes he brought did not say a word or make any unnecessary expressions, as if those things were ordinary and unremarkable to them.
When Shen Wuyan saw those three items, he was indeed shocked. However, no matter how good these items were, they were not as good as a strong person.
The thought of Ye Lingtian watching from the side made him regain his composure, and he said seriously, "Elder Mo Ping, what do you mean by this? My Human Race Temple said that we will remain neutral and will not change our stance arbitrarily. You should put these things away immediately."
Mo Ping hadn't expected that even after taking out these three items, Shen Wuyan would still have the same attitude. The Human God Temple might be strong, but surely they wouldn't be completely unmoved by these three treasures?
"Palace Master, in this battle against the Star Palace, our Dark Palace is the main force. Your Palace's experts only need to keep the rear intact."
"Elder Moping, I have made my stance clear. If you insist on this, I have no choice but to see you out."
Seeing that Mo Ping was still rambling on, Shen Wuyan's expression was already quite unpleasant.
After all, Ye Lingtian and Ye Chen were watching from the sidelines, so he had to appear tough.
Mo Ping took a deep breath.
"Very well, as expected of the Temple Master. But you should not regret what you said and the decision you made today."
After saying that, Mo Ping was about to take the items back when he found that his body suddenly froze on the spot and he could not move.
