Chapter 83: The Negotiation

It was now in Taiyi Holy Land.
Ling Ran immediately called the highest-level meeting and ordered all the supreme elders to attend the meeting.
Even the distinguished figures of Demon Valley, including Lord Dragon and the Black Flood Dragon King, were invited. After all, they were now considered an alliance of Taiyi Holy Land.
It was a pity that Elder King did not accept the invitation. It was said that Elder King had refined a kind of potent pill not long ago, and he was now in seclusion. This made Ling Ran feel quite disappointed.
This matter was related to whether Taiyi Holy Land could continue to stay where it was. If Elder King was here, Taiyi Holy Land would be a much safer place.
It was now at Taiyi Main Hall.
The highest-level meeting of Taiyi Holy Land was ongoing.
Ling Ran, who was sitting on the main seat, told them about the news that space race had appeared and that they had brought humans to the world. The entire hall immediately fell silent.
Legend said that space race was one of the top races among the ten thousand ancient races, ranked among the top hundred. It was said that they had several Ancient Sages and were even more powerful than the sage-level demon king. Even Taiyi Holy Land, which was currently regaining its glory, had to be wary of them.
Ling Ran’s sharp eyes swept over the supreme elders present. She said, “What do you all think?”
The Holy Lord, Lu Xuan, was sitting on the seat of honor on the left. He had to come out of his seclusion since it concerned the major affairs of Taiyi Holy Land. He frowned and said, “We found a home in Taiyi Holy Land through the relentless efforts of our ancestors. They left it to us. We can’t leave it unless we have no other choice.”
They all had deep feelings for Taiyi Holy Land. They had lived there for many years, and there were many arrays arranged by the sages to guard Taiyi Holy Land. Once they left, it meant that they would lose all the arrays, which would be a great danger to Taiyi Holy Land.
Moreover, there were many places where the ancient experts had once set foot, such as the great Emperor’s palace and Demon Sealing Land. It was the place chosen by the sages to establish their holy land. They were very unusual, so they naturally could not leave easily.
Naturally, the supreme elder also felt the same way. Taiyi Holy Land was their home. They could not leave so easily even if the other party was a powerful ancient race.
“Space race is a powerful ancient race after all,” a supreme elder said. “They were saying that we mustn’t leave without doing anything. In my opinion, why don’t we make a trip to space race and negotiate with them?”
Another supreme elder frowned and said, “Will space race allow us to get close?” I heard that during the ancient era, space race was hostile to human race and even saw them as food.”
Many of the supreme elders were worried, thinking that this would be a difficult task.
Ling Ran said in a deep voice, “The space race may be very powerful, but don’t forget that Taiyi Holy Land has an immortal inheritance and a saint-level inheritance. I believe even space race will show us some respect. They will allow us to continue to settle here.”
“Besides, Taiyi Holy Land isn’t the only one involved. Within the one million miles radius that space race had requested, there were still Southern Palace, Northern Castle, and Ice Palace, among many other undying inheritances. They would definitely not be willing to move. When the time comes, we just need to discuss with the other immortal inheritances and head to space race together to negotiate. I believe we will achieve a consensus with space race.”
The people present nodded in agreement after hearing Ling Ran’s words. This new Holy Lord, who had just taken over the position not long ago, was not bad. She knew that she would team up with the other immortal inheritances to put pressure on space race.
With so many immortal inheritances going together, even a powerful ancient race like space race would be under a lot of pressure.
“What a pity.” Lu Xuan sighed softly. “If Elder King had come in person, I believe that space race would have to show some respect to Elder King, no matter how powerful they are.”
The others sighed as well. After all, Elder King was a peerless sage who had killed two great ancient saints. If he were to appear, his history would be enough to intimidate space race.
After all, not many sage had ever killed a saint.
Before the meeting ended, Dragon Lord said, “Ling, be careful. Space race is indeed very strong. Back then, they were ranked thirty-eighth among the top ten thousand ancient races. However, at the end of the ancient era, space race could be considered to have declined a little. They should be ranked around the eightieth I suppose.”
The experts of Taiyi Holy Land inhaled a cold breath. “Were the ten thousand ancient races so impressive? Space race, which was only ranked eightieth, actually had several Ancient Sages. What if it was the top twenty or even the strongest race?” they thought in horror.
The mere thought of it defied their imagination.
Ling Ran immediately said, “Thank you for your concern, lord. I won’t disappoint you.”
Not long after, Taiyi Holy Land, led by Holy Lord Ling Ran, left with several supreme elders and headed for space race.
At the same time, Southern Palace, Northern Castle, Ice Palace, and other undying inheritances also sent important figures to space race to negotiate. They also did not want to leave this place.
The important figures of the undying inheritances gathered together.
One day later, Ling Ran and the others returned to Taiyi Holy Land. Although they did not say anything, anyone could tell from their gloomy faces that the negotiation had failed.
Soon, news spread that space race did not allow any power to exist within a million miles even if it was an undying inheritance.
Furthermore, space race had given the order that if they did not move out within a month, space race would send their race’s experts to drive them out.
The few immortal inheritances were naturally unwilling to agree, but space race’s attitude was very domineering. If they did not move, they would start a war.
There were even many Venerables from the ancient race who appeared, shocking everyone.
This put a lot of pressure on the few immortal inheritances. There was no doubt about the strength of space race. There were many Bahuang Venerables below sage realm, let alone several ancient saints. That day, they had seen a total of ten Bahuang Venerables in space race. They found the foundation of such a powerful ancient race terrifying.
“Damn it, space race is too strong. The foundation of such a powerful ancient race is even more terrifying than our undying inheritances,” a supreme elder who had just returned said hatefully. Currently, the various immortal inheritances did not disclose any Bahuang Venerables to the outside world. For example, Great Qin Dynasty only disclosed two Venerables, who were the Royal Elders.
However, space race had a total of ten Bahuang Venerables. That meant they had a powerful foundation, which was enough to intimidate all the forces in the world.
Furthermore, there were several ancient saints present, who were powerful enough to destroy the immortal inheritance.
Another supreme elder also sighed. “Space race is basically the gathering of all the top experts of Taiyi Holy Land since ancient times. Even the ten Venerables are enough to raze Taiyi Holy Land to the ground, let alone a few Ancient Sages.”
Although Taiyi Holy Land had Elder King, who was a Jiutian Sage, they had no advantage against space race. Once the battle started, they would only die.
After all, no one in Taiyi Holy Land believed that Elder King could fight against so many ancient Saints from space race.
Ling Ran sighed and said, “In that case, get ready to move, folks.”
Although he was reluctant, he had no choice.
Just as Taiyi Holy Land was about to move, a group of experts came above Taiyi Holy Land and looked down at it. They were the experts from space race.
