Chapter 2380: It's Easier to Invite a God than to Send One Away!

"The senior said he would handle this! But please don't forget, we are human, not pigs or dogs! Resistance will bring sacrifice, but if we don't resist... we will forever be pigs and dogs!"

Facing the leaders of the various sects, Qin Chao calmly relayed Ye Yuan's words.

But these people were not buying it.

"Hmph! This matter was caused by him in the first place, so he should bear the consequences himself!"

"At least he has some conscience to step forward on his own."

"If not for him, would those sects have been annihilated?"

"And you, boy, daring to provoke the divine race, nearly got us all annihilated too! Mo Qingshan, kill this boy as a sacrifice to the annihilated sects!"

...

A few sect masters remained silent, but the vast majority felt that Ye Yuan was asking for trouble, bringing the fire down on them.

Some even wanted to kill Qin Chao to vent their anger.

For most of the human race, they had long become numb and indifferent.

A living dog is better than a dead lion!

Although the annihilation of the Xuntian Palace had a huge impact on them, risking their lives in battle was hard for them to do.

For the various races that had been penned up for countless years, many had long turned this life into a habit.

As long as they didn't provoke the divine race, they wouldn't kill indiscriminately.

Wasn't that so?

Sure enough, as soon as someone proposed killing Qin Chao, many sect masters grew restless.

Qin Chao was not afraid at all, instead sneering, "If you dare touch a single hair on my head, the senior will surely come and annihilate your sect! None of you here today will escape!"

A sect master sneered, "He's gone to the Southern Domain Xuntian Palace and will surely die. Are you still using him to threaten us?"

Qin Chao said disdainfully, "Who told you he went there to die? He went to warn the divine race, telling them to stop attacking humans!"

That sect master laughed loudly, "Are you kidding me? The Southern Domain Xuntian Palace Lord is a Nine-Pattern Dao Realm mid-stage powerhouse, even stronger than the Three Declines of Heavenly Man. And now you say he can come back?"

Qin Chao sneered, "I, Qin Chao, am nothing but a cheap life. Sect Master Wu, if you dare bet your own life and property, you can kill me now!"

It had to be said, Qin Chao's words were quite lethal.

They didn't believe Ye Yuan could return, but they felt their own lives were far more valuable than Qin Chao's.

What if Ye Yuan really did come back?

Sect Master Wu's face darkened, "We won't kill you, but we can detain you for now! Once news of that boy's death arrives, you won't have any luck left, will you?"

Mo Qingshan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Wu, are you disregarding me, Mo, too much?"

Sect Master Wu said disdainfully, "Doesn't your Violet Cloud Sect share the blame in this matter? You kept all the sects in the Tiannan region in the dark, causing several sects to be annihilated because of you! We haven't settled accounts with you yet!"

Sect Master Wu's words immediately drew agreement from many sects.

So they decided to detain both master and disciple.

Once news of Ye Yuan's death arrived, they would punish the two as a warning to others.

Qin Chao remained calm and said to Mo Qingshan, "Master, rest assured! They detain us now, but later they will have to send us back with utmost respect!"

Mo Qingshan looked doubtful, "That man is indeed very powerful, but Lord Yuan Hui's strength is not comparable to those Xuntian Palace Lords!"

...

News of Ye Yuan's death did not come; instead, even more explosive news arrived.

The culprit who had annihilated eighteen Southern Domain Xuntian Palaces finally revealed himself—a young man at the Fifth Heaven of Heavenly Emperor!

No one expected that a Fifth Heaven Heavenly Emperor could annihilate eighteen Xuntian Palaces.

What's more, he did it alone!

Of course, that wasn't the most explosive part.

The most explosive part was that this young man went alone to the Southern Domain Xuntian Palace and warned the Palace Lord Yuan Hui!

The young man went on a killing spree, slaying several Eight-Pattern Dao Realm late-stage experts and hundreds of other strong cultivators.

Then, under the siege of Lord Yuan Hui and several Nine-Pattern Dao Realm experts, he left gracefully!

Once the news spread, the entire Southern Domain was shaken.

"Where did this young man come from? Why is he so strong?"

"Lord Yuan Hui is a figure from the heavens! Even he couldn't keep this young man?"

"The divine race investigators in the Southern Domain have all withdrawn! That means his threat worked! The divine race was forced to back down by a Fifth Heaven Heavenly Emperor!"

...

This conclusion sent chills down many spines.

Only then did they realize that humans could be this powerful!

Single-handedly storming the Xuntian Palace, coming and going freely, killing hundreds of experts, and leaving gracefully.

Though they hadn't witnessed the scene, just imagining it made their blood boil!

Through a million troops without a scratch!

That was the perfect description of Ye Yuan's operation!

Too many had witnessed this battle; it couldn't be hidden.

When the news spread, countless human experts were greatly inspired.

When the news reached Tiannan, the sect masters were completely dumbfounded.

They gathered overnight to discuss how to smooth things over.

Wu Tianqiao naturally bore the brunt of it.

"Sect Master Wu, you're amazing! What a great idea you had, now you've led everyone into a pit!" a sect master said sarcastically.

"That lord must already be on his way! Sect Master Wu, can you teach us how to explain to him?" another sect master sneered.

"Good thing we didn't kill Qin Chao, or our sects would really be wiped out!" a sect master said thankfully.

In an instant, Wu Tianqiao became the target of everyone's criticism.

Wu Tianqiao's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Now you're all blaming me? When I proposed detaining them, weren't you all excited? What's the use of saying these useless things now? Instead of complaining here, think of a solution!"

"What other solution is there? We have to invite them out! Clearly, Qin Chao is that lord's confidant since he delivered the message. If we get his forgiveness, that lord surely won't pursue the matter!" a sect master said.

For now, they couldn't think of a better plan.

So, a large group of sect masters went to the dungeon to invite Qin Chao and Mo Qingshan out.

Seeing these people being so deferential, how could Mo Qingshan not understand what was happening?

He was utterly shocked.

That young man had really done it?

Qin Chao smiled at him, "Master, what did I tell you? This time, the lord must have shaken the entire Southern Domain!"

Wu Tianqiao forced a smile, "Indeed! That lord has unparalleled talent, even the divine race is under his control! You two, this was all our fault. Please come out, won't you?"

Qin Chao gave a half-smile, "Sect Master Wu, haven't you heard the saying: It's easier to invite a god than to send one away?"
