Chapter 0498
After this, the Yan Huang City Lord, the Taixu Sage Master, the Dubhe Sword Immortal, and the others would complete the trade with the Ghostly Emperor .
This was actually an extremely tough matter .
This was because no one would truly trust the other party, so no one would take the first step . If the ghostly cultivators had taken the first step, the divine continent coalition would have protected Dong Yue Wu . The cultivators of the divine continent would have no reason to hand the egg to them .
If they had handed the egg over first, no one could guarantee that the immoral ghostly cultivators wouldn't destroy the Dong Yue Wu Kingdom . It was especially so for the Dragon Slaver Lord, who was infamous and had no credibility to speak of .
These were all tough questions that were hard to predict . It was at least be extremely difficult for Wu Yu to do this himself .
Having made the decision, the Yan Huang City Lord and the rest had to take on huge pressure . If their plans failed and the divine continent was affected, they would also become the sinners of the divine continent like Wu Yu .
However, they didn't relinquish the responsibilities . They proceeded without hesitation and took the responsibilities onto their shoulders .
That egg was currently in the hands of the Taixu Sage Master, who would be the one handing it to the Ghostly Emperor .
When the ghostly cultivators saw that the divine continent had made their decision, they were exhilarated . The Dragon Slaver Lord also smiled and said, "You guys have indeed made a wise decision . Congratulations! The truth is that we have no wish to attack the divine continent . It exhausts our manpower and resources without getting much in return . As long as we get that egg, we will definitely retreat and not touch a single grass on the divine continent . I'm willing to stake my personal moral standing on it . Hehe!"
As to whether they would fulfil their promise after they got their hands on the egg, it didn't matter much to the divine continent . This was because the coalition of the divine continent wouldn't believe them at all .
Facing the ghostly cultivators, the Yan Huang City Lord said, "If it is just as you have said, please release the sealed array around Dong Yue Wu and retreat beyond the East Sea . if you do that, we will gladly hand this thing over . At this juncture, mutual belief would clearly make things go smoother . Don't you think so?"
The eight Emperors burst into hysterical laughter .
"Forget it . Since no one is willing to trust the other, let's go by the old rules . Both of us shall release what we want at the same time . Truth be told, all we want is that egg . The life or death of these mortals has no attraction to us at all . They are simply a means to threaten you guys .
Although it might seem simple, the process of both parties releasing what they wanted would be a perilous one .
First, the Yan Huang City Lord was standing on the barrier created by the Dragon Slaver Lord . He was probably thinking of laying a new defensive barrier to protect Dong Yue Wu the moment the Dragon Slaver Lord released his seal . With him there, Dong Yue Wu would definitely be safe . The only reason why the Dragon Slaver Lord had control over this area was simply because he had the first-move advantage .
As for the Taixu Sage Master, he stood before the Ghostly Emperor .
The Ghostly Emperor didn't speak a word and simply flew over . When everyone was reeling over the impending battle, this young man flew directly before the Taixu Sage Master to the astonishment of the crowd . He stood less than a meter away from the Taixu Sage Master and extended his hand over to him . Those dull, grey, and empty white eyes were just like bottomless pits, and they were staring right into the eyes of the Taixu Sage Master .
"Hand it over!" the Ghostly Emperor, Necro Lord, said plainly .
The Taixu Sage Master lifted his arm and held the egg in one hand . At this moment, the Ghostly Emperor was also in contact with that egg . Both of them held each side of the egg .
Before this, the Taixu Sage Master had assessed the toughness of this egg . He seemed to have come to the conclusion that this egg wouldn't break easily . Therefore, the Ghostly Emperor was rather assured .
When both of them held on to each side, it was the most nail-biting moment for the rest of the crowd . Everyone was squinting their eyes while staring intensely at this risky moment!
At this moment, the Ghostly Emperor waved his hand at the Dragon Slaver Lord, who remained behind him . After an action from the Dragon Slaver Lord, the black light barrier over Dong Yue Wu indeed started to dissipate gradually . As the barrier was dissipating, the Yan Huang City Lord executed a Heaven Earth Void technique to cast a thick, golden-colored light barrier . When the black light barrier disappeared completely and a golden-colored light barrier replaced it, the majority of the Dong Yue Wu Kingdom appeared to be safe . It was especially so for the area of the Heavenly Sword Sect, where the Yan Huang City Lord had paid special attention to . One could see that in the blink of an eye, a spirit design had fallen on the Bipo Mountain Range and formed an impenetrable fortress over it!
"You can release your grip now . " At this moment, when everyone was holding their breaths, the dry and cold voice of the Necro Lord resounded once again . His grey eyes were circulating constantly as though he was about to suck a human's soul into them .
Everyone was wondering if it would be better for the Taixu Sage Master to forcefully snatch the egg or crush it completely since the Yan Huang City Lord had almost fully gained control of the situation with Dong Yue Wu .
In that case, they wouldn't be thrown into a dangerous situation again .
However, this was just their wishful thinking . It would probably be difficult to for it to happen . Moreover, at such a close distance, the Ghostly Emperor clearly would guard against this . When he came into contact with that egg, one could see greyish mist forming a network over the egg . Some even entered deep into the egg shell .
The Taixu Sage Master held on for a little longer till the Yan Huang City Lord had almost full control over Dong Yue Wu . When the entire Dong Yue Wu Kingdom was secured within a golden fortress, he finally let go of the egg .
Wu Yu had also witnessed the entire development with his own eyes .
When the Ghostly Emperor got what he wanted, the side of ghostly cultivators were cheering without reserve .
