Chapter 251
"Jade Emperor, why not summon him to enlist in the army to be utilized for exterminating demons?"
Damion still didn’t mention a single word about the Dragon Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter.
Because the moment he spoke of it, it would mean tearing all remaining face with the Heavenly Court, that would be highly disadvantageous to him.
If the Heavenly Court was pretending not to know, then he would play along and do the same.
It was much better to use this chance to force Adam out into the open.
That bastard was far too good at hiding, as long as he showed himself, even if the Nova Clan couldn’t move immediately, there would always be opportunities later.
Suddenly, the Tempest Clan Head beside him spoke up.
"Jade Emperor, absolutely not! Damion harbors malicious intentions! He is merely using this pretext to trick Adam into coming out, his claim about putting aside their grudges is empty talk, he will definitely plot foul play later."
"Moreover, regarding the conflict between the two, it was the Nova Clan who was utterly unreasonable to begin with."
"Furthermore, the Demon Race is currently glaring at Adam like a tiger watching its prey, if Adam is recruited into the army, the Demon Race will inevitably seek violent revenge."
"If that happens, we will lose a peerless genius, it is far better to let him develop freely for now!"
"Jade Emperor, a genius like Adam, once he fully matures, will absolutely become a massive threat to the Demon Race!" Tempest Clan Head Jorath looked at Damion and spoke with a slow smile.
Since Adam could wield the Yellow Emperor’s Sword, he was definitely an exiled, heaven-defying genius of their Tempest Clan.
He had to thoroughly protect a peerless talent like this.
As for the conflict with the Nova Clan? That was the Nova Clan’s own incompetence, and they were entirely in the wrong anyway.
You wanted to devour that little girl? On what grounds should she just let you devour her?
Wanting to devour her was one thing, but you used endless underhanded methods, lost an Eighth Heaven Deity expert, and still hadn’t managed to harm a single hair on her head.
And you still called yourselves an Imperial Clan? You had thrown away all the face and prestige of your Great Emperor!
"That makes perfect sense, now that the Demon Race has invaded the mortal realm, it will inevitably become a protracted war, every genius will be part of the main vanguard for the future."
"Beloved Subject Nova, my Heavenly Court can ignore the private feud between you and Adam, but as for forcibly drafting Adam into the army, my Heavenly Court cannot do that right now!" The dignified man at the highest seat stroked his beard and smiled faintly.
Damn it! Damion cursed angrily in his heart.
Sure enough, Adam really was backed by the Heavenly Court, to think they would protect him this blatantly!
"I understand, however, Your Majesty, Adam seems to possess some secret technique to completely obscure his tracks, and my Nova Clan currently lacks powerful tracking treasures, therefore, I wish to borrow two individuals to assist me."
Although Damion was furious internally, as a Clan Head, his composure was exceptional, instead of lashing out, he asked calmly.
Since you refuse to bring things into the open, you can’t exactly refuse when I make a direct request, right?
"I wish for the Divine Lords Thousand Mile Eye and Wind Catching Ear to assist me, I will offer an Emperor Talisman as compensation!"
The eyes of every deity in the grand hall widened instantly.
Ever since the era of spiritual energy depletion, it was unknown how many eons had passed without a Great Emperor appearing in the world.
An Emperor Talisman was the foundational trump card left behind by a Great Emperor for their descendants.
A single Emperor Talisman was equivalent to a full-powered strike from a Great Emperor, its might was world-shaking, as long as another Great Emperor did not emerge, very few entities in this world could resist it.
Over the long passage of time, the number of remaining Emperor Talismans had dwindled day by day.
Every single one was an unbelievably precious supreme treasure, even the Heavenly Court would be deeply moved by such an offer.
After all, the more treasures the better, who would ever complain about having too many supreme treasures?
"Oh? Are you certain? If I recall correctly, your Nova Clan doesn’t have many Emperor Talismans left, does it?" The Jade Emperor stroked his beard, a bright smile on his face.
"I am certain, Your Majesty." Damion nodded without hesitation.
Compared to the future of the Nova Clan, the value of a single Emperor Talisman was something he could clearly weigh.
Of course, he had also asked this to test the waters.
Since Adam was supposedly a member of the Heavenly Court, he deliberately offered something as insanely precious as an Emperor Talisman to force the Heavenly Court into a choice.
Do you want the Emperor Talisman, or do you want to protect Adam?
"Excellent! Summon Thousand Mile Eye and Wind Catching Ear!" The Jade Emperor laughed heartily, a heavenly soldier immediately ran out to fetch them.
Both Damion and Jorath were momentarily stunned, he agreed that easily?
"Your Majesty, my Tempest Clan is also willing to offer an Emperor Talisman! I beseech Your Majesty to let Adam go!" Jorath instantly cupped his fists and interjected.
"Beloved Subject Jorath, I know you are anxious, but do not panic, I promised Subject Nova first, so naturally I must carry out his request first," the Jade Emperor smiled faintly.
"However, once we find Adam’s location, you can similarly dispatch people to protect him, but as for the Emperor Talisman, my Heavenly Court will still gladly accept it!"
Jorath and Damion fell silent at the exact same time.
The Heavenly Court was still the same old Heavenly Court.
According to records, ever since the very first Heaven and Earth Upheaval, the Heavenly Court had begun frantically hoarding all the spiritual treasures and resources in the world.
Even Imperial Clans like theirs had been fleeced mercilessly by the Heavenly Court over the years.
This long, endless plundering had left the entire Heavenly Void Mystic Realm and Mysterious Yellow Great World extremely poor in resources.
Only the Heavenly Court remained unfathomably wealthy.
Very quickly, two bizarrely shaped immortals clad in sharp armor entered the grand hall.
