"Hah, I never expected that the dignified Xue Clan royalty would be unable to deal with a mere young man. Tsk tsk, I truly don't know what to say... But Xue Chen, I don't understand, what benefit does this bring to my Ye Clan?" the old Ye Clan Emperor said.
Xue Chen immediately looked at the Ye Elder beside him. Speaking of which, this Ye Elder was from the Ye Clan and held some weight in their discussions.
At this moment, the Ye Elder stepped forward and said, "The Ye Clan can obtain this Immortal Realm. If it's not severely damaged, it will be a supreme treasure. At the same time, only by doing this can the Ye Clan secure a marriage alliance!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately drew ridicule from the surrounding Ye Clan members!
"What? You dare to negotiate terms with us? Being able to marry Crown Prince Wushuang is a blessing for your Xue Clan. To think you want to use this to threaten us, you must be incredibly audacious!"
"Exactly! Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror to see what you are? You dare to demand such a high price on our territory!"
"Kill! In my opinion, we should take advantage of this moment to kill these few Xue Clan members, and then, in the ensuing chaos, launch a full-scale attack on the Xue Clan. One battle can decide it all!"
Hearing the words of these Ye Clan experts around him, it was impossible for Xue Chen not to be flustered!
However, his strength was also evident. If the Ye Clan wanted to keep him, it would require some effort. Coupled with the might of the Sea God Scepter, Xue Chen wasn't particularly afraid.
He chuckled and said directly, "Ye Clan Emperor, in my opinion, our two clans have been at war for a long time. Now that both our clans are severely weakened, it's allowing the surrounding smaller clans to develop and grow stronger. Why don't our two clans join forces, jointly attack those smaller clans, and share the spoils? Wouldn't that be wonderful!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the old Ye Clan Emperor, seated on his high throne, sneered dismissively. "Your Xue Clan's strength, don't you know it yourself? You actually presume to share benefits with my Ye Clan? Heh, it's simply a joke. By the way, I agree to your proposal this time, but the prerequisite is that your Third Princess and Crown Prince, that is, this young girl, must remain. If I remember correctly, she is from the Ye Clan, right? Holding her as a hostage, kept by the Ye Clan, and when you ascend to the heavens in the future, I can then support this girl to ascend the throne!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Chen's smile instantly faltered!
If he were to hand over Xue Yuan as a hostage now, the fate of the Xue Clan in the future was predictable. Once he passed away, the Xue Clan would immediately become a vassal of the Ye Clan. After all, the Crown Prince was already in the Ye Clan's hands. At that time, Xue Yuan's coronation ceremony might even be held in the Ye Clan.
The Xue Clan would naturally be annexed by the Ye Clan!
"This..."
Xue Chen was about to object, but at this moment, the Ye Elder beside him tugged at him, gave him a look, and signaled him to agree.
"Your Majesty, if the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. We must agree to this now, otherwise, we are in grave danger!"
Looking at the surrounding environment, Xue Chen could only sigh. The Ye Elder's words were indeed true!
If he didn't agree now!
It would be extremely difficult for him and his entourage to leave this place!
"Alright! I agree!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Xue Clan members breathed a collective sigh of relief, as they had narrowly escaped death.
And at this moment.
Crown Prince Xue Yuan and the Third Princess had completely given up hope!
If they were to be held here as hostages, it would be tantamount to becoming puppets for the two of them. Especially for the Third Princess, who didn't even know what fate awaited her.
"Come, invite Crown Prince Wushuang here!"
The old emperor, having reached an agreement, was quite pleased. He immediately waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to invite Ye Wushuang.
This matter!
If the Xue Clan truly handed over Xue Yuan as a hostage, after Xue Chen's lifespan ended, the Ye Clan would profit greatly, leaping to become a behemoth in the eastern part of the continent!
Coupled with the supreme genius Ye Wushuang, it would be difficult for the Ye Clan not to prosper!
As fast as lightning.
Within ten minutes, Ye Wushuang arrived. However, his appearance was quite bizarre. His clothes were covered with barbs. Not to mention interacting with him, even a glance at him would make one feel disgusted.
At the same time, Ye Wushuang also had a long tongue, like a hanged ghost, he liked to let his tongue hang out.
"Hehehe, I heard there's another beauty coming to seek death... Let this young master see what kind of beauty it is. If she's truly beautiful, I might consider letting her live for a couple more days!"
As he spoke, a dark shadow immediately flashed into the grand hall!
The old emperor looked at him with doting affection and laughed heartily, "Shuang'er, quickly look, this is the good match your grandfather has found for you. Look at her figure, her appearance, isn't she perfect in every way? Later, you just need to use the divine artifact to split open the young man on the ground, and the Third Princess of the Xue Clan will be yours!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Wushuang's dark eyes, surrounded by black circles, stared at the Third Princess.
He looked her up and down, from front to back, left to right!
He even sniffed beside her, as if trying to discern some scent!
"Hiss... Hmm, it's really potent!"
Ye Wushuang was extremely satisfied. He could barely control himself when looking at the Third Princess before him, drooling profusely. He then said, "Alright, Grandfather, hand over the divine artifact. It's a trivial matter. I'll finish my business and go back to the bridal chamber!"
As he spoke.
Ye Wushuang immediately took a mighty great axe from the old emperor's hand!
This axe was the Ye Clan's divine artifact. In truth, this divine artifact was merely a high-level immortal artifact. It was just that the Ye Clan itself believed in deities and claimed it was blessed by divine grace, hence the name divine artifact.
It was not a true divine artifact!
"Alright, is it this kid? Open it for me!"
With a bang!
Ye Wushuang's almost casual swing of the axe immediately caused the surrounding space to vibrate. Especially the old emperor Xue Chen, who was inwardly shocked.
He secretly calculated that if that axe had landed on him, he would have certainly died on the spot!
However, fortunately, although Ye Wushuang seemed reckless and vulgar, he didn't seem very cunning, appearing to be a complete brute.
When the axe didn't split open, he instantly became enraged!
As if he had stepped on something foul, he hopped around, stomping his feet, and madly hacked at the Immortal Realm on the ground!
Bang bang bang!
Several blows in succession, each heavier than the last. Seeing that the Immortal Realm was unharmed, but the grand hall was about to collapse, the old Ye Clan Emperor was also shocked on the spot, repeatedly ordering people to stop him!
"Stop, stop, my good grandson, can't you take it outside to chop? Alas, someone, move it outside to chop!"
Several experts simultaneously stepped forward and moved Su Han outside the grand hall, to a very magnificent plaza.
It had to be said.
This Ye Clan plaza was an ancient battlefield, a place where ancient emperors waged war, and it was incredibly sturdy!
Ye Wushuang, at this moment, glanced at the Third Princess beside him, drooled again, snorted with a smile, and then charged towards Su Han.
