Inside the temple.
Xu Chengyu sat in the main seat, while Ji Zhiyan carefully poured spirit wine beside him.
His humble demeanor made the elders of the other holy lands around him secretly click their tongues in amazement. They never expected that the Holy Lord of Danwu Holy Land would have such a humble side.
If they hadn't witnessed Xu Chengyu's strength today, they wouldn't have believed that such a seemingly weak and powerless young man could make Ji Chen, a half-step Immortal Emperor, have no will to resist him.
"senior..."
"Does this spirit wine taste good to you?"
Ji Zhiyan asked with some concern.
Although he was still somewhat unwilling, he now understood that the lifeline of the entire Holy Land was in Xu Chengyu's hands, and if the other party refused, it would be at any cost.
Let alone just the nearly 80% of high-level alchemists, the destruction of the entire Danwu Holy Land could be decided in an instant.
Xu Chengyu paused for a moment, holding the spirit wine cup in his hand. Although this was the spirit wine that Ji Chen had treasured for the longest time, he had drunk too much of the Enlightenment Tea at home.
Now, he feels like his throat is getting choked when he drinks anything else.
Before Xu Chengyu could speak again, three figures slowly walked in from outside the temple. They were clearly badly injured, and their steps were unsteady.
The newcomers were none other than the three Holy Lords who had been defeated earlier, having experienced Xu Chengyu's terrifying offensive power.
They then realized how wonderful it is to be alive.
They were also well aware that it was only because Xu Chengyu had no intention of killing them that Xu Chengyu had such methods. Otherwise, even if there were several more peak Immortal Kings, let alone the three of them, they would all have met the same fate.
Ji Chen's reaction was already very good. They had already regained consciousness, but they were worried that Xu Chengyu was still angry, so they kept lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
Before the other party had even finished a few rounds of drinks, he was already preparing to find an opportunity to apologize.
"S-Senior, we were the three of us who were blind earlier..."
"We hope you'll be magnanimous and give us a chance..."
The Star Eclipse Saint Lord spoke first, with a smile on his face.
"It's all because of us blind fools that we've disturbed your enjoyment, senior."
"As long as you can let us go, the three of us will definitely follow your lead from now on."
The other two chimed in.
At this moment, the group was filled with regret. They never expected that their casual attempt to show off and win favor with the Danwu Holy Land would lead them to encounter a Celestial Emperor.
This luck is absolutely terrible!
Hearing the three people's words, Xu Chengyu did not respond, but just looked at them calmly, with a faint smile on his lips.
It's that familiar feeling again.
They had already learned their lesson once before.
Now, I can't afford to make the same mistake again.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xing Shi slapped himself hard across the face.
A clear and resonant sound echoed throughout the temple.
*Smack!*
The Palace Master of Zijing Palace and the King of Chiyu Palace beside him were stunned. They had not expected that the Star Eclipse Saint Lord would be so decisive.
He took a deep breath and waved, raising his face in greeting.
"Slap slap~"
"Clap clap clap~"
In no time, the three of them had turned bright red. Although they were all Immortal Kings, they dared not use any spiritual power to resist Xu Chengyu.
At this moment, all three of them looked at Xu Chengyu with some anticipation, hoping that he would not hold it against them and would give them a chance.
"Didn't you three say you wanted to show me what real strength is?"
"Let me know who is in charge of these three domains?"
"I still prefer your rebellious side."
Xu Chengyu's deep voice rang out again.
The three looked visibly embarrassed. Although the three holy lands still held some sway in the Azure Profound Continent, they were nothing compared to a Celestial Emperor.
With just one finger, they could easily crush a whole group.
"senior..."
"We were just looking at you because you seemed a bit bored, weren't we?"
"That's why I'm telling you a joke, senior."
Star Eclipse Saint Lord managed to force a smile onto his face.
Xu Chengyu glanced at him, and the other person immediately lowered his head, not daring to look directly into those sharp eyes.
"Alright then."
"I'm not that petty."
These words were spoken.
A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the three men. Were they about to give them a chance?
"I have only just arrived at the Danwu Holy Land, and I am already being threatened by you."
"This has left a shadow on my fragile psyche; I'm afraid to go out casually anymore."
"Is it too much to ask for some compensation?"
As he spoke, Xu Chengyu slowly made a gesture with his hand.
"All we need is 80% of the resources of your three holy lands, and this matter will be over."
80%?
Upon hearing this number, the expressions on the three people's faces completely changed, and they swallowed hard before they could recover.
The three of them exchanged glances, and they could all see and feel the suicidal thoughts in each other's hearts.
The Holy Land has been operating for so many years, what kind of crisis hasn't it encountered?
Xu Chengyu's move will take the three holy lands at least a thousand years to recover from.
After hesitating for a moment, the Star Eclipse Saint Lord was about to speak again.
"senior..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Chengyu interrupted him.
"Do you want to live or die?"
A simple and clear sentence sent a shiver down the spines of the three of them once again. If it weren't for the vast difference in their strength...
