Chapter 659 - 653: Entering the Underworld Again
The Void Race relies on copying others’ abilities to gain tremendous power.
They cannot cultivate normally, so the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the world are naturally useless to them.
For countless years, the Void Race has been hunted down by the Four Great Primordial Spirits, wandering in the endless void.
The Void Race can be regarded as nomads in the void.
It is well known that the void is full of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
As the Void Race roams various parts of the void, they naturally have opportunities to acquire various treasures.
Since the Void Race cannot use these treasures themselves, they have accumulated them.
After all, Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, the Buddha, and their disciples can use these treasures to enhance their strength.
By retaining these treasures, the Void Race also somewhat undermines Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha’s strength.
Today, the Void Race has given Lin Yuan a welcome gift, a pile of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures stacked like a small mountain.
To the Void Race, it is merely a drop in the ocean.
As long as Lin Yuan is willing to ally with the Void Race, they would certainly not be stingy.
After all, these so-called Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are useless waste to the Void Race.
After revealing their bargaining chips, the Void Race’s envoy intently stared at Lin Yuan.
He was waiting for Lin Yuan to give him a firm response.
In fact, the Void Race’s envoy had already laid all their cards on the table.
He had shown all of the Void Race’s bargaining chips.
If Lin Yuan still refuses, then they truly have no recourse.
At this moment, Lin Yuan was quietly contemplating.
Although the Void Race envoy seemed earnest enough.
At least, Lin Yuan found no cause for suspicion.
However, as the saying goes, when someone is not of our kin, their hearts must differ.
People’s thoughts are hidden beneath their skin, who can guarantee that he speaks the truth?
If there is deceit in this, that could be troublesome.
Considering the worst outcome, what if this so-called Void Race is collaborating with Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha?
Under the pretext of their copying ability, they leave some hidden tricks on Lin Yuan’s subordinates, that would be troublesome.
After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan still hadn’t made a decision.
He planned to consult Yin Celestial Son about this matter.
After all, Yin Celestial Son is a formidable Tier One.
Even if there is deception in this matter, Yin Celestial Son surely possesses countermeasures.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said to the Void Race’s envoy, "This matter is of great importance, allow me to consider it carefully."
Just as Lin Yuan finished speaking, the Void Race’s envoy pleaded, "Respected Lord of Heaven and Earth, our people are being hunted, we can’t hold out much longer!"
"If you delay, our Void Race might face extinction at any time."
Lin Yuan thought, "Your Void Race’s extinction doesn’t concern me."
For Lin Yuan, he must ensure that the alliance with the Void Race poses no danger.
Otherwise, he would never agree to such an alliance.
"We can’t delay much longer!"
"I will ponder briefly and give you an answer." Lin Yuan said as he interrupted the persistent Void Race envoy, waved his hand, and told Elder Bai, "Take him to rest first."
Elder Bai understood Lin Yuan; he knew Lin Yuan was likely going to discuss the matter with Yin Celestial Son.
Thus, Elder Bai stepped forward and said to the Void Race envoy, "Come with me to rest for now!"
"Having hope is always better than having none."
"If you anger him, your last hope will be lost."
Upon hearing Elder Bai’s words, the Void Race envoy felt a shudder.
These words are quite true!
There’s still room for negotiation now, but if Lin Yuan becomes annoyed, negotiation would end.
Thinking this through, the Void Race envoy bowed to Lin Yuan and said, "Respected Lord of Heaven and Earth, please consider the matter seriously and give us an answer soon."
"If you agree to ally with our Void Race, we are willing to offer treasures ten times the welcome gift as thanks."
Ten piles of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like the small mountain before him?
Imagining that scene, Lin Yuan felt a bit tempted.
However, feeling tempted is one thing, but he must not act impulsively.
This matter still needs to be discussed with Yin Celestial Son.
After all, now Lin Yuan is in the advantageous position; he is not in a hurry.
Under Elder Bai’s guidance, the Void Race envoy could only helplessly follow him.
...
...
As soon as the Void Race’s envoy left, Lin Yuan prepared to set off for the Underworld.
Traveling to the Underworld is very convenient for Lin Yuan, like returning to his own home.
"Yin Celestial Son."
"Yin Celestial Son."
"Yin Celestial Son."
After calling Yin Celestial Son’s name three times, Ghost Gate appeared in front of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan stepped forward decisively, entering Ghost Gate.
Upon entering Ghost Gate, the first sight was still the Yellow Springs Road full of Other Shore Flowers.
Lin Yuan had previously promised Ox Head and Horse Face that he would ride each of them once.
Last time he rode Horse Face, so this time it should be Ox Head.
While thinking, on the distant Yellow Springs Road, two figures appeared.
When seeing these two figures, Lin Yuan was taken aback.
Because the figures on Yellow Springs Road this time were not Ox Head and Horse Face, but...
Two figures, one black and one white, appeared on Yellow Springs Road, one short and stout, the other thin and gaunt.
Both figures wore pointed high hats, the black hat read "Peace in the World," while the white hat read "Prosperity upon First Sight."
These two figures were Black and White Impermanence, Master Qi Xie Bi’an, and Master Ba Fan Wujie.
Black and White Impermanence approached Lin Yuan, and upon seeing him, they respectfully said, "Greetings, Great Lord!"
"Greetings, Great Lord."
"Why have you two come?" Lin Yuan inquired.
"Great Lord, Yin Celestial Son sent us to receive you!" White Impermanence said unclearly.
White Impermanence was a hanged ghost, with an overly large tongue, hence his speech was unclear.
Lin Yuan: "?????"
Lin Yuan thought, if Ox Head and Horse Face could transform into ox and horse for me to ride, how can I ride the two of you!
Riding you two, that would be quite shabby!
"Usually, Ox Head and Horse Face come to receive me, don’t they?" Lin Yuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Black Impermanence Fan Wujie replied, "Great Lord, they’re on a business trip and will return in a few days."
"So, Yin Celestial Son sent the two of us to receive you!"
Ox Head and Horse Face went on a business trip?
I wonder if Yin Celestial Son reimburses travel expenses!
This thought popped into Lin Yuan’s mind.
However, since Ox Head and Horse Face are on a business trip, there’s no choice but to follow Black and White Impermanence.
Thinking this, Lin Yuan said, "Alright then, you two lead the way ahead."
However, hearing this, Black and White Impermanence simultaneously shook their heads.
