Chapter 787: Chapter 789: All Bow Down!
“That person was already unbeatable at the Second Layer Heaven. If he truly wanted to go against us,
combined, we might not be able to match him,” a Sect Master’s silhouette spoke.
Though his words were dispiriting, none of the Sect Masters refuted him.
“Indeed, with his current power, and whether he has any cards yet to play,
if he still holds hidden moves and unleashes them, no one could resist.
He could crush us effortlessly.
Even if we join forces, delaying him might not last long.
It’s quite possible, by the time the Heavenly experts descend, we would’ve already perished,” another Sect Master’s silhouette added.
At this, the silhouettes of several Sect Masters sighed.
Yang Yan was indeed too strong!
So strong that they didn’t even dare to mention Yang Yan’s name.
“Actually, there might be a way!” Suddenly, one of the silhouettes among the many Sect Masters spoke.
At his words, all the Sect Master silhouettes turned their attention to him.
“What way? Hurry, tell us!” a Sect Master’s silhouette urged.
“Yes, speak so we have a chance to survive. Don’t delay.
The silhouette who first mentioned having a solution spoke again.
“This method is unlikely to succeed!” His expression turned somber.
“Regardless of its difficulty, how would we know it can’t succeed unless we try?” another Sect Master’s silhouette replied.
“Remember, we already have no way out.”
“Well, the method is, unless he doesn’t wish to confront us,” this Sect Master silhouette suggested.
The Sect Master silhouettes present shook their heads.
“Impossible, impossible, he is already invincible within the Second Layer Heaven.
We sent people to hunt him down; with his current strength, cultivation, he will surely seek vengeance!”
“Yes, ever since the first day, he has been avenging grievances with severity.
He won’t let enemies off easily.
He surely wants to kill us and is unlikely to restrain himself.”
“Such a proposal is laughable, impossible to achieve.
Let’s think of another way to deal with him.”
“We must bring out powerful treasures to counter him!”
“Powerful treasures are hard to find and wouldn’t be available in the Second Layer Heaven.”
The majority of Sect Master silhouettes believed this was unlikely to succeed!
“Not necessarily, this method does have a chance to succeed!
Even though that person avenges every slight with severity,
don’t forget, killing us brings him no benefit.
Instead, it offends numerous, numerous people.
And though strong, he is ultimately just one person.
Could he kill us all?
So I think, perhaps we can talk to him.
Display sincerity and negotiate an exchange.” A Sect Master silhouette explained.
“Do you mean we should bow our heads to him?”
But they were the foremost powers of the Second Layer Heaven, with unmatched strength and status.
Bowing to Yang Yan for survival seemed immensely difficult.
After all, they had long stood in high positions, yet because of Yang Yan’s threat, having to apologize personally was severely humiliating!
Forbearance spells calm, retreat brings vast opportunities.
We are forever anchored to the Second Layer Heaven.
He will soon leave the Second Layer Heaven and enter the Third Layer Heaven.
By then, let others worry about his matters.
We just need to survive in the Second Layer Heaven,”
With this statement, the Sect Master silhouettes started to reflect.
The saying goes, “better them than me!”
They weren’t the first to offend Yang Yan, yet they were burdened with vengeance.
Then they discovered the person they had to avenge was overwhelmingly powerful, going to him meant death.
“I don’t know what choices the inner sects of the Third Layer Heaven will make,
but if losing some face can safeguard our lives and those of our Sect’s disciples, maintaining our Sect,”
doing so bears no impropriety.
Everything should heed the broader picture.”
“Makes sense. With that person’s strength, none beneath the Five Realms could kill him.
He will leave eventually, so perhaps we should let them handle it?”
“Yes, let them worry about it; we’ve reached the end.
Continuing to fight is pointless.”
“Indeed, risking death is meaningless.”
“But what if they inquire, blame us, how should we explain?”
“Explain nothing. We’ll say we were helpless and troubled,
besides, by then, when he’s in the Heavens, they’ll be in desperate disarray.
Will they have time to blame us?
Moreover, we can even say we were pacifying that person,
merely buying time, awaiting their arrival for strong support against Yang Yan.
Just that they came late!
Of course, if they had arrived sooner,
even better, they could easily suppress that person, and whether we bowed would be irrelevant.
In any case, we have our reasoning.”
“Well said, then let’s begin.
Who will make contact with that person?” Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
“That person is surely enraged after our lengthy hunt.
Whoever goes might get killed.”
“How about we all go? That would show sincerity!”
“Yes, going together, we bear the consequences collectively, no matter what he does!”
“Should we probe with avatars first?”
“We could, all go together, remember, be humble before him.”
“You don’t need to remind us of this, we all understand.”
While they deliberated, Yang Yan remained unaware.
He was inside the ship, content and cultivating.
“Master, someone is coming!” Xuan Qingya alerted from the side.
She sensed movement outside.
“Alright, I’ll go have a look, wait here.” Yang Yan stood.
“Be careful, Master.”
Them aiding Yang Yan in dressing, Yang Yan walked out.
Standing on the deck, Yang Yan, hands clasped behind him, observed the silhouettes in the sky.
“Who are you? Why not meet me in your true forms?” he declared directly.
Being invincible in the Second Layer Heaven, he naturally showed no deference.
“I am the Sect Master of the Tianwai Divine Palace of the Second Layer Heaven; these are the avatars of Sect Masters from various great sects in the Second Layer Heaven.
We have come to negotiate peace with you!” a Sect Master’s silhouette stated.
“Yes, yes, we want to apologize to you!”
