Chapter 2133 Cooperation (1)

The tension remained thick in the air, a suffocating presence despite the silence. Mo Lianxing, her face still etched with a lingering fury, lowered the Frostmourn Spear, the ice crystals clinging to its surface slowly dissipating. Her eyes, however, remained cold, scanning the battlefield with an intensity that sent shivers down everyone's spine.

Li Shan, his gaze locked on Mo Lianxing, stood protectively in front of Lin Xinyao and the others. The arrival of these two people made the situation more complicated.

"Talk?" Bei Cong scoffed. "What's there to talk about?"

Dongfang Lou spoke, her voice sharp. "Why are you here?"

Bei Yixiang turned towards her, his expression unreadable. "We are here to propose a solution, one that will ensure the safety of this realm and prevent the horrors of another Primordial War."

He paused, his gaze traversing the battlefield, taking in the destruction and the weary faces of those present. "We propose the neutralization of the inheritors of the Primordial Gods," he finally declared.

"Neutralize?" Xiao Shou frowned slightly.

"It's the only way," Bei Yixiang interrupted, his voice firm. "Each inheritor holds within them the power of a Primordial God. Left unchecked, they are a ticking time bomb, a potential catalyst for another devastating conflict."

He looked at everyone and continued. "We all know that they could never live in peace. Whoever wins in the end, we are doomed to stay beneath them."

Bei Cong narrowed his eyes. "Perhaps you have forgotten that our leader is the God of Death's inheritor."

Bei Yixiang looked at him and asked calmly. "Are you, a dignified Northern Nether Venerable, willing to serve him forever?"

Bei Cong furrowed his brow and fell silent.

"You served the God of Death but he was already gone. Si Junyi isn't him." Bei Yixiang said further.

Bei Cong shook his head and scoffed. "Don't try to make me laugh. Everyone knows that you people are afraid of them. Their existence threatened your Primordial God Tribe's hegemony. What you are trying to do is just your wet dream."

"Besides," he curled his lips. "Why did you think we care about the Primal Chaos? It's even better to have another Primordial War."

"That's right," Xi Hong added. "We want to slaughter the word anyway."

Without Si Junyi, they would eventually be eliminated in the end. Why should they agree with Bei Yixiang's proposal?

Bei Yixiang responded calmly. "Even without the God of Death's power, no one could threaten the Netherworld."

"Heh." Bei Cong scoffed. "In the end, it's just your wishful thinking."

Bei Yixiang took a deep look at Bei Cong and said slowly. "In fact, you don't have a choice. Your fate has been sealed the moment you chose to stand opposite Yun Lintian."

Bei Cong's brow furrowed subtly. A glance at Lin Xinyao and the others gathered behind Li Shan filled in the blanks. These women were undoubtedly Yun Lintian's wives.

A knot of dread formed in Bei Cong's stomach. Before his arrival, Si Junyi had warned him to steer clear of Yun Lintian and avoid any conflict. Little did he know, Yun Lintian's wives were here and he had just offended them.

Xi Hong scoffed, "So what?" He wasn't oblivious to their mistake either.

"Cooperation is possible," Bei Yixiang countered calmly. "We can wait for their exit and then negotiate terms."

Dongfang Lou's brow furrowed. "How many are there of you? And who is your leader?"

"Four, ourselves included. Zhan You leads the group," Bei Yixiang revealed without reservation.

"Zhan You..." Dongfang Lou's brow furrowed as she attempted to place the name.

A flicker of recognition crossed her features. "The Heaven Severing War God Zhan You?"

"Indeed," Bei Yixiang confirmed.

Dongfang Lou's heart plummeted. Zhan You was a legendary figure during the Primordial Era, his unmatched prowess echoing even within the depths of the Netherworld where she resided.

Moreover, the Heaven Severing War God Clan held the esteemed position of the top clan under the Primordial Sun God. They had birthed countless unparalleled warriors, later forming the renowned Sun Warrior Army.

Dongfang Lou knew she was no match for Zhan You.

"This is not good," Xiao Shou sent a sound transmission to Lan Qinghe and the others. "Yun Lintian is in grave danger."
