Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 408: Chapter 186: The Fall of the Lord of Mount Tai?_2

Behind the Day Wandering God, the faces of several other Netherworld Commanders lit up with delight.

They too had realized the intention of the Day Wandering God.

As long as they steered clear of direct conflict and delayed, once the 10th Hall Yama got involved, those facing Shen Yuan would be the Yamas who govern the kingdom of Hell.

With the combined forces of the 10th Hall Yama, they might be able to check the power of a transformed Great Emperor.

Showing a hint of helplessness in their eyes, Black and White Impermanence rose to their feet, preparing to lead Shen Yuan to the palace despite being singled out by the Day Wandering God.

Just then, Shen Yuan, who was within the Emperor’s Carriage, spoke up.

“The Great Xia Dynasty? I do have some karma with Great Xia. May I also listen in?”

Though Shen Yuan’s words were a request, they carried an unmistakable air of command. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The Day Wandering God felt as if, upon the intertwining pathways of the Incense Offering Divinity Path, a pair of eyes, bright as a myriad of stars, had opened at that moment, leaving no place for his thoughts and intentions to hide.

The body of the Day Wandering God trembled, immediately realizing that the occupant of the Emperor’s Carriage did not wish to quibble with him. Should he continue with his tricks, he would certainly incur thunderous wrath.

Bowing again, the Day Wandering God humbly stated:

“Your Majesty’s decree shall be followed.”

Amid these words, the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird Esteemed Emissaries had already arrived in front of the 10 Yin Hall.

While the Netherworld Commanders were extremely cautious in their conduct around Shen Yuan, not daring to overstep their bounds, their pride was evident when facing the two envoys of Great Xia.

The Netherworld Commanders had the capital for such pride because their lifespans far exceeded that of the so-called Great Xia Dynasty, and they didn’t hold much regard for this human Imperial Dynasty.

With a look of condescension, the Day Wandering God asked the White Tiger Esteemed Emissary:

“What exactly is the purpose of the Imperial Court dispatching you two here?”

The White Tiger Esteemed Emissary, also experiencing the gaze of so many powerful experts for the first time, took a deep breath to calm his stirring heart and, holding a wooden box, bowed slightly toward the Day Wandering God:

“Respected Day Wandering God, I represent the Mortal Emperor of Great Xia and wish to negotiate the matter of the invasion of Tai Province with the Netherworld.”

“Invasion?” mocked the Day Wandering God with a sneer:

“In the Ancient Era, the Tai Province territory was itself a part of the kingdom of Hell.

We in the Netherworld, adhering to the principles of the kingdom of Hell, have every right to claim the entire Tai Province. What invasion are you talking about?”

The White Tiger Esteemed Emissary maintained a steady expression:

“You are aware, Day Wandering God, that the control of Tai Province by the kingdom of Hell belongs to the Ancient Era.

According to the agreements established by the Netherworld many millennia ago, the Netherworld governs the land of Yin World, but must never invade the Yang World wantonly. Such actions disturb the order of Yin and Yang and are bound to bring about a great disaster. Please do not deceive yourself, Day Wandering God.”

The Day Wandering God scoffed, dismissively waving his hand:

“Enough with the platitudes and empty words. They have no place before me.

The Mortal Emperor of Great Xia should be well aware that such verbal agreements hold no value whatsoever.

State your price and perhaps I will consider it.”

The White Tiger Esteemed Emissary’s expression grew grim. The Day Wandering God and the other Netherworld Commanders showed no respect for Great Xia’s Imperial Court; this was completely different from the expected diplomatic discussions before coming to the Netherworld.

Taking a deep breath, just as the White Tiger Esteemed Emissary was about to make an offer, the Day Wandering God suddenly extended an index finger. An imposing air burst forth from his body, the intense pressure nearly suffocating the White Tiger Esteemed Emissary.

“Once! I’m giving your Great Xia Imperial Court only one chance to name your price.

Do not insult a Netherworld Commander with your human bargaining tactics. You have this one chance. State your bottom line.”

The White Tiger Esteemed Emissary’s face turned red, only managing to dispel some of the oppressive aura by placing his right hand on the wooden box, drawing strength from the Mount Tai Lord’s Decree.

With clenched teeth, the White Tiger Esteemed Emissary realized this was anything but an equal trade.

“The Netherworld simply needs to guarantee the safe evacuation of the Great Xia citizens and refrain from further invasions into the Yang World. In return, Great Xia… is willing to cede Luoshan County entirely to the Yin World, hand over all the positions of City God in the Tai Province territory to be governed by the Netherworld, and provide incense worship from three provinces’ territories.

If the Day Wandering God agrees, an agreement will be signed under the witness of the Mount Tai Lord’s Decree. Any violation of the contract will result in the offender being cast into the 18 Levels of Hell, their True Spirit annulled, condemned to never ascend again.”

Having finished speaking, the White Tiger Esteemed Emissary was already soaked in cold sweat.

This was the ultimate concession the Great Xia’s Imperial Court could offer.

In the original plan, these were terms that would only be offered after successive concessions at the negotiating table. However, when they were actually facing the ancient 10 Netherworld Commanders, all plans had been completely disrupted.

Now, bereft of his pride, the White Tiger Esteemed Emissary could only hope that these terms would sway the Day Wandering God and lead to a successful negotiation.

However, the response from the Day Wandering God was a cold pair of words.

“That’s it?”

A look of indescribable mockery appeared on the Day Wandering God’s face.

“These things rightfully belong to my Netherworld. The Great Xia Imperial Court actually thinks to trade with us using what is ours, what a monumental joke!”

After speaking, the Day Wandering God glanced subconsciously at the quiet Emperor’s Carriage beside him, then said:

“Seeing that you had the courage to enter Fengdu City, I won’t take your lives this time.

I shall lead my troops to wage open war against the Great Xia Imperial Court and take over that County City of Luoshan entirely. That is the last mercy I will show you.”

The White Tiger Esteemed Emissary glared furiously, his right hand pressing down on the wooden box as he managed through clenched teeth:
