Chapter 196: Chapter 196 - : Negotiations

“Elder King of the human race, let the Supreme Sage of our race go. Our race can withdraw from the war in half a month!” After the first attack failed, the dragon in the East Sea spoke again only to beg for mercy. He wanted the human Elder King to let the primordial dragon race’s Patriarch go.

All of the ten thousand ancient races spectators were shocked by this. Everything had happened too quickly. To think the human Elder King had managed to activate four killing arrays at the same time and instantly turned defeat into victory. Now, the primordial dragon race had even given in and was begging for mercy.

The humans, on the other hand, were overjoyed. Many of them sneered, “Hahahaha, I knew that the Elder King wouldn’t be defeated so easily. So what if it’s the primordial dragon race? So what if he’s the primordial dragon race’s Patriarch? Doesn’t he have to beg for mercy in the end?”

“That’s right. The Elder King is the hope of the human race. He has unrivaled combat power. How can a mere primordial dragon race’s Patriarch be a match for him?”

“If the ancient primordial dragon race retreats from the war in half a month, the human race’s chances of winning will increase. How long can the ten thousand ancient races remain arrogant?”

“The defeat of the ten thousand ancient races is a foregone conclusion. Our human race is destined to rise, and the Elder King is destined to prove his path in this era.”

In the four great killing arrays, the primordial dragon race’s Patriarch was dragged back to Yinyue City by force. Countless sword energies were still ravaging his dragon body, and his dragon scales were sent flying as blood splattered in the air.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Elder King of the human race, we have admitted our defeat. Are you still going to kill all of us?” The primordial dragon race Patriarch bellowed and spat out waves of Dragon Breath, burning the void.

Qin Chen snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, “No one will be able to save you today!”

As soon as he said that, the four killing arrays were activated again. The twenty-odd Sage Kings of the ten thousand ancient races were instantly bound and couldn’t move at all. They could only watch as countless rays of sword energy gathered around them.

Sage Long Xuan looked panicked and shouted, “Human Elder King, please don’t kill me. I’m willing to submit! Please don’t kill me.”

“Bastard, go to hell!” The primordial dragon race’s Patriarch roared and used all his strength to break free from the chains. Then, he slapped Sage Long Xuan, turning the latter into mincemeat.

“Bind!” Qin Chen growled. Array patterns flickered and turned into golden chains that bound the primordial dragon race’s Patriarch once again. He could not move at all and could only wait for his death in the air.

“Human Elder King, let my race’s Patriarch go. My race can give you more compensation,” The dragon in the East Sea said again, making another concession.

“It seems like you’re quite valuable!” The corner of Qin Chen’s mouth rose and revealed a smile. Then, he shouted at the East Sea, “As long as your race is willing to submit to me, I can let your Patriarch go.”

“That’s impossible! If you let my Patriarch go, my race can give you a Supreme Sage weapon and promise to never be your enemy. Otherwise, we’ll fight to the death!” The response from the dragon in the East Sea was decisive.

Qin Chen was a little disappointed. If the primordial dragon race could submit to him, even if he did not manage to convince the demon god race, the human race would not lose the war in half a month.

However, it was already a pleasant surprise that the primordial dragon race would not participate in the battle. Qin Chen did not hesitate and immediately agreed, “Hand over your Supreme Sage weapon then!”

“Here you go!” With that, a Supreme Sage weapon flew out from the primordial dragon race’s territory in the East Sea and appeared in the sky above Yinyue City in the blink of an eye. Then, another roar was heard, “Release my race’s Patriarch at once!”

Qin Chen held the Supreme Sage weapon. It was a golden long spear with a lifelike dragon pattern engraved on it. The tip of the spear was blood-red, emitting a terrifying dragon’s might.

The primordial dragon race was quite generous. The dragon-patterned spear they took out wasn’t a low-grade weapon. It was a Supreme Sage supreme-grade weapon. Among the many ten thousand ancient races, there weren’t many that could be so generous.

Even so, Qin Chen did not plan to release the primordial dragon race’s Patriarch just yet. Instead, he smiled at the East Sea and said, “Everyone from the primordial dragon race, I feel like old friends with the Patriarch at first sight. I’ve decided to invite him to the Taiyi Holy Land. I’ll personally send him back to your race in half a month.”

“Human Elder King, don’t you go too far. Do you really think that the primordial dragon race is a pushover?” An angry roar came from the primordial dragon race of the East Sea. The golden dragon pearl burst out with primordial imperial might and appeared in the Central Province in the blink of an eye. The terrifying aura made all the living beings in the Central Province tremble.

“Everyone from the primordial dragon race, if you don’t want to see anything happen to your Patriarch, it’s best not to be so impulsive,” Qin Chen snorted. The array in his hand glowed, and countless sword energy gathered, turning into four golden swords of energy. They hung above the primordial dragon race’s Patriarch’s head. If the golden swords of energy fell, the Patriarch would die without a doubt.

“Ignorant child, how dare you?!” The East Sea’s dragon roared.

“Why wouldn’t I?” Qin Chen snorted coldly as the array patterns in his palm unleashed their power. The golden swords of energy pierced into the primordial dragon race’s Patriarch’s flesh, and he let out a blood-curdling screech, causing the entire world to tremble.

“Stop!” The East Sea dragon shouted, then said, “We’ll do as you say. However, if anything happens to our Patriarch, the primordial dragon race swears that we’ll exterminate the human race!”

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Qin Chen’s face. He immediately withdrew the golden swords of energy and replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, everyone. I’ll definitely take good care of the primordial dragon race’s Patriarch.”

A muffled groan came from the dragon in the East Sea. The golden dragon pearl disappeared into thin air, and the boundless dragon might also receded. The living beings of the Central Province felt as if they had been granted amnesty, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the golden dragon pearl had been retrieved, Qin Chen also dissipated the golden swords of energy around the primordial dragon race’s Patriarch. He then took out a green pill and fed it to the Patriarch before releasing the latter from his restraints.

“What did you make me eat? To think you’ve sealed my cultivation!” The Patriarch of the primordial dragon race was shocked as he looked at Qin Chen in disbelief. He did not expect the other party to have such a pill.

Qin Chen smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Patriarch. This pill will only temporarily seal your cultivation and will lose its effects after a month. By then, your cultivation will be fully restored.

“Hmph! If my cultivation is damaged, I will not let you off!” The primordial dragon race’s Patriarch snorted coldly as he stood by the side with a dark expression.

At this moment, a Sage king who was bound in the killing array suddenly shouted, “Human Elder King, as long as you let me go, my race is willing to withdraw from the battle in half a month. We can also give you a Supreme Sage weapon.”

“You can also take out a Supreme Sage weapon?” Qin Chen asked.

Hearing this, the Sage King waved his hand and took out the Supreme Sage inferior-grade weapon that he had been carrying with him all this time. He said anxiously, “Human Elder King, this is the Supreme Sage weapon left behind by my race’s Patriarch. As long as you let me go, this weapon is yours.”

The other Sage Kings also took out their Supreme Sage weapons and said to Qin Chen, “Human Elder King, we also have Supreme Sage weapons. We are also willing to withdraw from the battle in half a month!”
