Chapter 222 Purple Lightning's Negotiation with the Giant Octopus
Chapter 222 The Negotiation Between Purple Lightning and the Giant Octopus
Just as Zi Lei Immortal Lord was leading a group of Immortal Kings about two thousand kilometers into the deep sea abyss, Zi Lei's figure suddenly stopped in place.
Upon seeing this, the Celestial Kings following behind him also stopped in their tracks.
One of the Celestial Kings spoke up and asked Celestial Lord Purple Thunder, "My lord, what is the reason for this?"
After saying that, the immortal king pointed ahead, indicating why they were no longer moving forward.
Instead of answering the Immortal King's question, the Purple Thunder Immortal Lord suddenly used his spiritual power to speak into the depths of the abyss: "What is the meaning of you blocking our path from the shadows?"
Just as Immortal Lord Zi Lei finished speaking, and the Immortal Kings were greatly alarmed, a Heavenly Lord-level demonic beast suddenly appeared from the depths of the Endless Abyss.
Moreover, he wasn't just any ordinary Heavenly Lord.
Compared to Zi Lei, they didn't hesitate much.
Meanwhile, behind this Heavenly Monarch-level demonic beast was an endless army of demonic beasts.
Within the army, there were also more than a dozen demon kings at the Heavenly Monarch level.
There are even hundreds of people who reach the level of Heavenly King.
These sea monsters were none other than the giant octopus, leading a massive army of sea monsters that suddenly appeared.
The giant octopus that appeared before everyone was truly astonishing due to its appearance and size.
It's important to know that a monster's combat power is generally linked to its size.
Generally speaking, small and thin demonic beasts, even if they have high cultivation levels, will not be very strong in combat. They mainly rely on agility and speed.
Just as everyone was astonished, the giant octopus suddenly spoke in a furious voice, answering the words of the Purple Thunder Immortal Lord.
He said, "You bunch of immortals have trespassed into our territory and then ask us why we are blocking your way? How ridiculous!"
Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Zi Lei stepped forward and replied to the giant octopus with a slightly more respectful tone: "We are deeply sorry for entering your precious land without permission."
However, it was a last resort.
Our ancestors and all the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Venerables have given us a death order: to find a group of humans.
"It's truly impossible to disobey the ancestral command!"
Upon hearing Immortal Lord Zi Lei use the terms Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable to intimidate him, the giant octopus instantly flew into a rage and retorted; "
In the past thirty years, the entire Dead Black Sea has been turned upside down and thrown into chaos by your Immortal Clan.
Because of you, countless monsters in my sea have died or been injured.
It's only because of your ancestors that I haven't started a massacre against you.
Now, you don't even want to let go of my last resting place in the Black Sea?
Besides, are you the only ones who have ancestors?
Have you considered how the master of the Dead Black Sea will deal with you when he returns?
At this point, the giant octopus instantly changed its previous furious attitude, and instead put on a playful expression as it spoke.
"When that time comes, the master of the Black Sea might not do anything to your ancestor."
However… it's hard to say whether you pawns will be killed by the dead Black Sea master in his rage.”
Upon hearing this, all the Immortal Kings, including Immortal Lord Zi Lei, had a slight change in expression.
However, after a moment of silence, the Purple Thunder Immortal Lord's previously hesitant expression returned to a firm one, and he spoke.
"The fate of the master of the Black Sea is currently unknown. Even if she returns one day and uses us as a scapegoat, that's a matter for the future."
If we back down now, we'll be punished for it, and that's something for us to do now.
If I had to choose one of these two, which one would I pick?
Purple Thunder Immortal Lord's words were not meant for the giant octopus alone.
The main purpose of this message was to address the Celestial Kings behind him and the Celestial Lords following behind.
Seeing that Immortal Lord Zi Lei was resolute, the giant octopus, who rarely interacted with human immortals, was speechless.
Finally, the giant octopus said to the Purple Thunder Immortal Lord and the other immortals, "No matter what your immortal race's reasons are, we, the sea monster race, did not obstruct you too much in what you did in the Dead Black Sea. This is already considered giving you face and making a huge concession."
If you still want to push your luck and seize the last piece of territory of our underwater demon race, then you can say that you are issuing a call to arms against us!
Although we, the demonic beasts of the Black Sea, are not as powerful as your immortal race, we will fight to the death to uphold our dignity.
Even if all the monsters in our seabed are killed in battle, the day the master of the Black Sea returns will be the day he avenges us.
"Having said this, if your immortal race dares to advance another thousand miles—then let's start a war!"
Having said that, the giant octopus gave Immortal Lord Purple Thunder no chance to explain or refute.
Instead, they vanished from their spot, leaving behind only endless sea monsters, thousands of miles away in the abyss, fiercely watching the immortal race that was about to conquer their homeland.
Zi Lei glanced at the endless sea monsters ahead and remained silent for a moment.
In the end, he had no choice but to summon the more than sixty immortal lords who were following behind.
When the group of immortals arrived, Zi Lei recounted the whole story to them.
At this moment, one of the immortal lords asked Purple Thunder Immortal Lord, "Purple Thunder Immortal Fellow, didn't you tell that the leader of the sea monsters that we are only temporarily occupying the Dead Black Sea?"
Once that human is captured, everyone will go their separate ways, crossing their own bridges, without disturbing each other.
When the Purple Thunder Immortal Lord heard the question from the other immortal lord, he glanced at him with disdain and did not answer.
Seeing that things were about to get awkward, Storm Immortal Lord spoke up for Zi Lei, saying, "My fellow immortal, if one day, a group of people who are slightly stronger than you suddenly appear in your home, kill your comrades, seize all your land, and eventually even take over your ancestral home."
Then this group of people tells you they only need to borrow it for a short period of time, would you agree?
After hearing the explanation from the Storm Immortal, the immortal lord replied in a self-righteous manner, "Then I definitely won't do it."
Even if I can't beat them, I can still call my ancestor to come and stand up for me.
Besides, Storm Immortal, what you said doesn't match the current situation.
We're not really refusing to return it to these beasts.
After hearing this, Baofeng was speechless!
She shook her head, not wanting to say another word to him.
Seeing the expression on the Storm Immortal's face, the immortal lord thought that his words had convinced the Storm Immortal.
He even had a smug expression on his face.
At this moment, the immortal lord from the same lineage beside him whispered a reminder: "Is it possible that these sea creatures don't know whether the territory we occupy will be returned to them in the future?"
After all, the resources within the Dead Black Sea are incredibly abundant!
Just as the immortal lord of the same lineage had given his reminder, and was about to elaborate on his point of view, Zhu Rong Tian Guang suddenly spoke up: "Alright, let's think about what to do next."
If you want to argue about such an ignorant question, wait until after this is over, and then go back to your own immortal abodes to argue it!
After saying that, Zhu Rong Tian Guang looked at Zi Lei and Bao Feng and continued, "What do we do now?"
I feel like the negotiations aren't going to be effective.
"I feel the same way," said Zi Lei Xianjun immediately after Zhu Rong Tian Guang finished speaking.
When everyone looked at Storm Immortal Lord, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment before looking up at the assembled immortals and saying, "Everyone is aware of the current situation."
Therefore, I think it's best to let everyone vote to decide whether to launch a full-scale attack on this abyss.
What do you all think?
Before anyone could express their opinion, Zi Lei spoke first: "Let's do as Storm Immortal Lord said."
Raise your hand if you agree with a strong offensive.
If the majority of votes favor a direct assault, then the army will be led directly into the city.
If more people disagree with a forced attack, then these people should work together to explain to the ancestors and give the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Venerables an explanation.
Upon hearing Immortal Lord Zi Lei's method, everyone inwardly cursed, "Old fool! This is like forcing a chicken into a river—push them to their death!"
Ultimately, 60 out of the 64 immortal lords raised their hands in agreement to launch a full-scale attack.
After the vote was held by raising hands, the remaining four immortal lords who did not raise their hands in agreement returned directly to the surface of the Dead Black Sea.
He told everyone before he left that he would personally go to the patriarch to apologize.
Among these four people was the immortal lord who had initially raised the question to the Purple Thunder Immortal Lord.
Once everything had settled down, Immortal Lord Zi Lei instructed some of the Immortal Kings to notify the army still remaining on the ground.
Send immortal generals with cultivation levels of Heavenly General or above into the abyss.
Because even the most ordinary celestial officials simply cannot withstand the pressure inside the abyss.
Even for celestial generals, relying solely on their physical bodies, at the current depth where Zi Lei and the others are, this is roughly the limit.
