Chapter 657: The Tianyu Empire Backs Down

Bai Zihan stood with his hands behind his back.

His expression remained calm.

Yet there was not the slightest regard for the identities or cultivation of the people standing before him.

The Tianyu Empire cultivators’ expressions darkened even further.

At this moment, Elder Fu slowly stepped forward.

Unlike Chen Muyang, he still maintained his composure.

He cupped his fists slightly.

”Young Master Bai. This matter was indeed our fault. My Tianyu Empire is willing to apologize.”

”I hope Young Master Bai can be magnanimous and forgive this offense.”

His tone was neither servile nor arrogant.

Instead, it was extremely sincere.

After all, provoking the Bai Clan now would benefit no one.

Unfortunately, Bai Zihan merely glanced at him.

”Magnanimous?”

He chuckled.

”I’m not.”

Bai Zihan continued leisurely,

”Since it was your fault, compensate me. Otherwise...”

He pointed casually toward the street behind them.

”None of you are leaving.”

The atmosphere instantly became heavy.

Even Elder Fu’s expression gradually darkened.

He had already lowered his stance considerably yet Bai Zihan refused to give him even the slightest bit of face.

Still, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

After taking a deep breath, he spoke once more.

”Young Master Bai. A Heaven-Grade Artifact is simply too precious. My Tianyu Empire is willing to compensate you with an Earth-Grade Artifact instead.”

”I hope Young Master Bai can let this matter end here.”

The surrounding spectators could not help but gasp.

An Earth-Grade Artifact!

Although it could not compare to a Heaven-Grade Artifact, it was still an extremely precious treasure.

For most cultivators, obtaining even one Earth-Grade Artifact during their entire lifetime was already considered a tremendous fortune.

Using such an item merely as compensation for accidentally bumping into someone...

That was already an unimaginable concession.

Many people secretly felt that Elder Fu had already shown sufficient sincerity.

However, Bai Zihan shook his head with displeasure.

”No! I said a Heaven-Grade Artifact. Not an Earth-Grade Artifact. If you cannot understand human language...”

”I don’t mind teaching you.”

The smiles on the Tianyu Empire cultivators’ faces completely disappeared.

At this point...

Anyone could see that Bai Zihan was deliberately making things difficult for them.

He had no intention of accepting any compromise.

Chen Muyang could no longer endure it.

His eyes blazed with fury.

”Bai Zihan!”

His shout echoed throughout the street.

”Don’t go too far! We are here to attend the coronation of the new Emperor! We are honored guests personally invited by His Majesty!”

He stared directly at Bai Zihan.

His voice carried an unmistakable warning.

”If you continue causing trouble for us, have you considered the consequences of offending your future Emperor?”

The surrounding crowd instinctively held their breath.

Everyone understood the meaning behind Chen Muyang’s words.

He was using Yu Zidi’s name to pressure Bai Zihan.

If it were anyone else, they might truly have hesitated.

Unfortunately for him, the person standing before him was Bai Zihan.

As if he gave a damn about offending Yu Zidi, who, in his eyes, could be killed whenever he pleased.

Bai Zihan’s expression gradually turned impatient.

He looked at Elder Fu as though he were looking at an annoying fly.

”I’ve already wasted enough time talking. I’ve decided. I’m done being civil.”

Snap!

Bai Zihan casually snapped his fingers.

The crisp sound echoed throughout the street.

The next instant—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several terrifying figures silently appeared around Bai Zihan.

The surrounding crowd was startled.

The expressions of the Tianyu Empire delegation changed dramatically.

Every newcomer radiated an incomparably powerful aura.

Earth Immortals!

Every single one of them was an Earth Immortal Realm expert.

Standing at the very front was an elderly man dressed in plain white robes.

His hands rested casually behind his back.

A leisurely smile hung on his face as though he were merely watching an entertaining play.

It was none other than Bai Ren.

Seeing Bai Ren appear, Bai Zihan casually pointed toward the Tianyu Empire delegation.

”They refuse to compensate me. What do you think we should do?”

Bai Ren chuckled.

His tone was calm, yet every word carried unquestionable dominance.

”If Clan Leader says they should compensate, then they should compensate. If they refuse...”

He slowly swept his gaze across the Tianyu Empire delegation.

The smile on his face remained unchanged.

”...then they needn’t leave.”

His voice was gentle.

Yet the meaning behind those words caused everyone’s hearts to tremble.

The other Bai Clan elders nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Their expressions remained completely indifferent.

It was as though surrounding the Tianyu Empire delegation was the most natural thing in the world.

Seeing this scene, Elder Fu’s pupils contracted.

He had originally believed the Bai Clan elders would at least persuade Bai Zihan to calm down.

Instead...

Not a single one of them questioned Bai Zihan’s actions.

They simply stood behind him without hesitation.

Elder Fu’s expression became increasingly grim.

He took a deep breath before speaking in a solemn voice.

”Fellow Daoists, I hope the Bai Clan will think carefully. We represent the Tianyu Empire. This time, we have come as honored guests to attend the coronation of the Desolate Heaven Empire’s new Emperor.”

”If anything happens to us here...”

He paused before continuing.

”The Tianyu Empire will never let this matter rest.”

His tone was no longer as polite as before.

The warning hidden within his words was unmistakable.

However...

Neither Bai Ren nor the other Bai Clan elders showed the slightest reaction.

It was as though they had heard nothing.

Outwardly, Elder Fu remained calm.

Inwardly, however, he was already extremely alarmed.

His gaze repeatedly swept across the Bai Clan experts.

The more he observed, the heavier his heart became.

The number of Earth Immortal Realm experts alone already far exceeded their own.

And then there was Bai Ren.

No matter how carefully Elder Fu tried to perceive him, he could not sense Bai Ren’s cultivation at all.

He was immediately reminded of the terrifying rumors that Grand Elder Bai Ren had already ascended to the Golden Immortal Realm.

Thinking of the rumors that had spread throughout the Eastern Region...

Rumors that the Bai Clan possessed two Golden Immortal Realm experts...

Cold sweat unconsciously appeared on Elder Fu’s back.

Moreover, even if Bai Ren were not a Golden Immortal Realm expert, the current lineup alone was already enough to overwhelm the Tianyu Empire delegation.

If both sides truly fought...

The outcome was obvious to everyone present.

The Tianyu Empire delegation would stand no chance.

Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense...

Another voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

”Fellow Daoists of the Bai Clan, there is no need to make matters so unpleasant.”

Everyone instinctively turned toward the source of the voice.

A group of cultivators slowly approached from the end of the street.

”The Vermillion Pill Empire!”

Someone in the crowd immediately recognized the emblem.

Whispers instantly spread throughout the street.

”They’re here!”

”This is going to become even more troublesome.”

The Tianyu Empire delegation’s gloomy expressions immediately brightened.

A smile appeared on Elder Fu’s face.

The newcomers stopped a short distance away.

Leading them was an elderly man with white hair and sharp eyes.

Although his aura was restrained, no one dared underestimate him.

He calmly glanced between the Bai Clan and the Tianyu Empire before speaking.

”Everyone has come to the Desolate Heaven Empire to attend His Majesty’s coronation. Why ruin the atmosphere over such a trivial misunderstanding?”

His tone was gentle.

However, everyone present understood one thing.

The Vermillion Pill Empire had chosen to stand beside the Tianyu Empire.

The white-haired elder nodded slightly before turning back toward Bai Zihan.

”Young Master Bai. Today’s matter should end here. The Tianyu Empire has already expressed its willingness to compensate you with an Earth-Grade Artifact.”

”That should be sufficient.”

Several experts behind him slowly stepped forward.

It was a mix of Earth Immortal Realm and Immortal Ascension Realm experts.

Seeing this, the Tianyu Empire delegation immediately straightened their backs.

The confidence that had disappeared moments ago gradually returned.

With the Vermillion Pill Empire standing beside them, the disparity between the two sides no longer seemed so overwhelming.

Although the Bai Clan still possessed the advantage...

It was no longer an insurmountable one.

At least, that was what they believed.

Chen Muyang sneered inwardly.

(So what if it’s the Bai Clan? Now let’s see whether you still dare remain so arrogant.)

Many of the surrounding spectators also became nervous.

Just moments ago, it had seemed the Tianyu Empire delegation was completely cornered.

Now, with the arrival of the Vermillion Pill Empire...

The situation had changed yet again.

However...

Facing the additional experts...

Bai Zihan’s expression did not change in the slightest.

He merely glanced lazily at the newcomers before letting out a faint chuckle.

”Who do you think you are to say what I should accept?”

The white-haired elder frowned slightly.

Bai Zihan slowly swept his gaze across both delegations.

”Are you planning to compensate this young master on their behalf? If not...”

He casually folded his arms.

”Then don’t interrupt while this young master is collecting his compensation.”

His attitude was every bit as domineering as before.

There wasn’t the slightest intention of backing down.

The smile on the white-haired elder’s face gradually disappeared.

The expressions of the Vermillion Pill Empire experts also darkened.

They had personally stepped forward to mediate.

Yet Bai Zihan had rejected them without giving them the slightest bit of face.

The atmosphere instantly became even heavier.

One side was the Bai Clan.

The other consisted of both the Tianyu Empire and the Vermillion Pill Empire.

The confrontation that had originally involved only two forces had suddenly expanded.

The surrounding streets quickly became packed with spectators.

Even the Imperial Guards no longer dared approach.

Instead, they hurriedly dispatched messengers toward the Imperial Palace.

Such a disturbance was no longer something they were qualified to handle.
