"The experts from the Four Great Imperial Clans have finally arrived!"
Countless cultivators within the Ascension Ancient Capital watched this scene, then turned their gazes towards the Battle Saint King standing majestically atop the Ascension Tower.
What felt strange, however, was that the latter, who had always been accustomed to being forceful, did not show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction from beginning to end, appearing very calm.
Could it be that even the Battle Saint King now had to submit to the alien races?
The experts from the Four Great Imperial Clans, upon seeing Ye Chen on the Ascension Tower, revealed a trace of smug, cold smiles.
Battle Saint King?
Wasn't he still waiting for them for a full day?
The sole Divine King from the leading Brahman Imperial Clan spoke with a false smile: "Apologies, Battle Saint King. There were some important matters within the clan, which is why we were late. Sorry about that."
Ye Chen swept a faint glance over them and nodded: "It's fine. I can wait. However, please wait a moment as well. I'm used to coming out during the day and sleeping at night. Now that the sun has set in the west, I need to go back to sleep. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy!"
With that, he turned and left.
Sleep? Early to bed and early to rise?
Hearing these words, the Four Great Imperial Clans almost jumped up. They were all cultivators; would they still sleep like mortals?
Everyone understood—Ye Chen had long been dissatisfied, and this was his counterattack.
The experts from the Four Great Imperial Clans panicked and hurriedly spoke up: "Battle Saint King, please wait! Please complete the transaction for the Emperor Sons and Daughters first—"
Before the words could finish, they saw Ye Chen's figure in the sky vanish with a *poof*, ceasing to exist, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
The world erupted in an uproar, also looking at the Four Great Imperial Clans with sarcasm. They had made the Battle Saint King wait, not knowing that the Battle Saint King was even more domineering than them, directly sending a clone and having it dissipate just like that.
You made the Battle Saint King wait, and now he repaid you in your own coin, leaving directly.
"Damn it!"
The Four Great Imperial Clans knew things had gone badly. They chased after him, arriving at the divine temples where the humans resided. However, before they could rush over, several vast Divine King auras bloomed, one of them releasing a cold voice: "This is a human stronghold. Do not trespass without permission. Please leave."
The experts from the Four Great Imperial Clans no longer cared about that. The leading Divine Kings from the Four Great Imperial Clans rushed in while speaking: "Please forgive our offense. We wish to invite the Battle Saint King out to complete the transaction for the Emperor Sons and Daughters of our respective imperial clans."
Boom—
Suddenly, an indescribably terrifying divine might erupted, directly blasting the Four Great Imperial Clan Divine Kings away. A cold voice spoke: "A human Sovereign is here. Do you still wish to trespass?"
Hearing this, the experts from the Four Great Imperial Clans were all shocked, cold sweat breaking out on their backs. Once they offended an Ancient Monarch, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Divine King from the Maha Imperial Clan stepped forward, cupping his fists in salute: "Fellow Daoists, we were late due to important matters. Please have the Battle Saint King come out and return the young ancestors, the Emperor Sons and Daughters of our imperial clans. We will leave immediately."
The others all looked towards the human divine temples.
However, the human divine temples remained silent for a long time. The experts from the Four Great Imperial Clans grew somewhat impatient. Just as they were about to steel themselves and force their way in, a figure flew out—it was a Heavenly King, speaking expressionlessly: "My Lord has important matters and needs to go into seclusion for a few days. Please, honored guests of the Four Great Imperial Clans, leave first. In the future, when my Lord emerges from seclusion, he will naturally exchange the several Emperor Sons and Daughters. There is no need to worry."
Seclusion? Seclusion your sister!
The experts from the Four Great Imperial Clans almost jumped up and started cursing. Who would believe that? Now, they even had a mere Heavenly King come out to tell them, completely showing an attitude of indifference.
"Seclusion?" The Divine King from the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty had an extremely cold expression, a trace of terrifying Divine King aura leaking from his body as he rushed forward, causing the Heavenly King who had come out to instantly change color as if struck by lightning.
Boom—
From within the human divine temples, several extremely terrifying Divine King auras soared into the sky. Among them, the Azure Phoenix Divine King walked out, looking coldly at the other party: "Hua Gudao, this is a human stronghold. Do you wish to start a war with our human race?"
Hua Gudao, the Divine King of the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty, had an ugly expression and naturally dared not say he wanted to start a war.
The other three Alien Emperor Clan Divine Kings also had very ugly expressions. However, when they thought about it now, their intestines were green with regret. What an incredibly forceful figure the Battle Saint King was—he dared to directly confront and even scold an Alien Emperor Clan Ancient Monarch, let alone others. He simply left them hanging.
They had wanted to demonstrate the initiative of the Four Great Imperial Clans, but the other party had instead been even more arrogant, bluntly saying he was in seclusion and unavailable.
A mere Great Power, yet daring to speak like this, and the Four Great Imperial Clan Divine Kings could do nothing about it.
"Fine. We will quietly wait for the day the Battle Saint King emerges from seclusion."
At this point, the experts from the Four Great Imperial Clans could only slink away dejectedly. After all, they had tried to be clever first and were in the wrong. Moreover, there was a human Sovereign present; how dare they trespass into such an important place?
Within the human divine temples, a group of human experts found this scene very satisfying. The Corpse-Devouring Insect Emperor clicked his tongue: "Indeed, evil needs to be dealt with by evil. These people really think too highly of themselves. Heh, now they've been left hanging by Little Moon."
The others all smiled wryly. This was only possible because it was the Battle Saint King; otherwise, no one else would dare to act like this.
This also further increased the admiration of the younger generation of humans for the Battle Saint King.
Among them, an older generation human spoke up with concern: "Won't doing this completely anger the several great imperial clans, ultimately leading to a racial war?"
Will shook his head: "Senior, you're overthinking this point. Originally, the alien races and the human race were completely opposed. Moreover, the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty and the human race are also opposed due to various reasons, so the relationship was already not good. Adding one more matter now makes no difference; it hasn't reached the point of starting a war. There's no need to worry excessively."
The others also felt this was the case. They were already on bad terms; it wasn't about wanting to repair the relationship.
The departure of the Four Great Imperial Clans also allowed the entire Ascension Ancient Capital to watch a joke, deepening their understanding of the Battle Saint King's domineering aura.
This wait, in the blink of an eye, lasted a full seven days. However, there was still no news whatsoever of the Battle Saint King emerging from seclusion, causing the experts from the Four Great Imperial Clans to grow increasingly irritable, filled with regret.
However, waiting like this wasn't a solution either.
They were preparing to go to the human divine temples again to inquire about the situation. But on this day, a human Heavenly King appeared, his voice shaking the entire Ascension Ancient Capital: "The Battle Saint King has emerged from seclusion!"
Instantly, the long-waiting Four Great Imperial Clans rushed to the human divine temples. However, they saw that the Battle Saint King had not yet appeared. When they wanted to go in and ask, Will came out and walked around, leisurely saying: "Sorry, alien races and dogs are not allowed inside!"
