Lan Tianchao's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Huang Tianbo!
He'd been tricked!
This Huang Tianbo was baiting him to say those words step by step.
He had already said that. Now, his Blue Sky Court was at a disadvantage.
Everything else aside, at the very least, Ye Tianyi was willing to tell Ling Long Ocean about this, so Ling Long Ocean owed him a favor.
Besides that, he was willing to leave that girl in Ling Long Ocean, so it proved that he didn't worry about Ling Long Ocean. Moreover, his daughter was determined to protect that girl!
He couldn't be unjust.
After that, Lan Tianchao smiled, "Patriarch, I understand how you feel. That kid has escaped, and you're indeed furious. But …. Patriarch, you have to understand that no matter what, that girl is innocent. If Patriarch Patriarch were to act against that girl, then wouldn't you think about the consequences?"
"Consequences?"
Huang Tianbo sneered, "Right now, I don't care about the consequences. I don't even have the ability to take revenge for my son, so why would I care about my reputation?
Patriarch Lan, do you think that this Patriarch would gain face? "
Lan Tianchao said, "Patriarch Patriarch, be rational!"
"Patriarch Lan!"
Huang Tianbo gazed at Lan Tianchao and said, "I know that girl is in your Ling Long Ocean. Please bring her out and hand her over to me. Don't worry, she really isn't related to this matter. So, I'll only use her to draw that bastard out. I won't kill her."
Lan Tianchao said, "Forgive me for being powerless in this matter."
"Why?"
Huang Tianbo's eyes narrowed, and then he said, "Sect Master Lan, I don't object to you saying that she isn't related to this incident. However, you have to realize that your Sprite Ocean isn't related to this incident at all!
So, you want to protect her? "
Lan Tianchao did not have a good excuse.
Think about it, a man killed Huang Tianbo's son, and then there was a woman by his side in the Exquisite Sea. Firstly, they weren't friends, and secondly, they weren't family. Now, someone wanted to use this woman to lure Ye Tianyi out. What reason did he have to refuse?
He felt that he couldn't get over it.
"I'm really sorry, Imperial Patriarch. That girl is my Bing Xin's good friend. My Exquisite Sea has always been a Sect that values friendship and righteousness. She is Bing Xin's friend. If we hand her over, what would the world think of our Exquisite Sea?
Who would dare to do business with our Exquisite Sea in the future?
Make friends? "
Lan Tianchao continued, "Sect Master Huang, I know how you feel. Our Linglong Sea will help your Sky Emperor Palace to capture that brat. However, I hope that Sect Master Huang can understand our difficulties."
Huang Tianbo said, "Of course I understand what you're trying to say, Patriarch Lan. But shouldn't you help Imperial Palace?
How about this? That girl doesn't have any cultivation, so we just have to capture her secretly once she enters the Exquisite Sea. "
"Hahaha, Imperial Patriarch Lan, this is really difficult."
Huang Tianbo's eyes narrowed, "Patriarch Lan, if you insist, then my Imperial Palace can only use force. I hope you can understand."
"Imperial Patriarch Lan, what do you mean?"
Huang Tianbo said, "To me, Chang 'an is my son. To the Sky Emperor Palace, Chang' an is also the future successor of the Sky Emperor Palace. Privately, I have to avenge Chang 'an. Officially, the Sky Emperor Palace can't let this go. Now that the Nirvana Sea is obstructing the Sky Emperor Palace from taking revenge, the Sky Emperor Palace can only … forcefully enter the Nirvana Sea to kidnap Chang' an.
Lan Tianchao frowned.
Huang Tianbo's words were very clear!
What did he mean by forcefully entering the Exquisite Sea to kidnap her?
He meant that if the Exquisite Sea didn't let her go, Imperial Palace would declare war on them!
He was threatening the Exquisite Sea.
Was it for an irrelevant woman or for the Exquisite Sea? Think about it yourself.
If it was about the pros and cons, it was obvious that they couldn't declare war on Imperial Palace!
But …
Now, the parchment scroll was still in that kid's hands. He didn't hand it over on purpose so that the Exquisite Sea could better protect the girl inside!
Lan Tianchao obviously understood and thought it was normal. But now, he should hesitate.
After hesitating for a long time.
"Imperial Patriarch Lan Tianchao, I've made the reason very clear. If Imperial Patriarch Lan Tianchao thinks it's okay to declare war on the Exquisite Sea regardless of the consequences, the Exquisite Sea isn't to be trifled with. We're willing to play along!
Let's go! "
With that, Lan Tianchao led the people from the Exquisite Sea back.
"Alright!"
Huang Tianbo's eyes narrowed!
"Listen to my orders. Gather the Imperial Palace's experts and attack the Exquisite Sea!"
Huang Tianbo roared angrily!
He raised his voice so that Lan Tianchao and the people from the Exquisite Sea could hear him.
"Yes!"
…
The Imperial Palace's people were waiting outside!
They were waiting for more Imperial Palace's experts to gather.
At the same time, in the Exquisite Sea.
"Patriarch Lan Tianchao, you mustn't do this!"
After everyone knew about this, 90% of them had the same opinion!
They mustn't declare war!
If the Exquisite Sea and the Imperial Palace were to fight, the losses would be unimaginable. Putting everything else aside, how many people would die in the Exquisite Sea?
The most ridiculous thing was that they couldn't accept the reason for declaring war.
"Patriarch Lan Tianchao, you mustn't fight. The Exquisite Sea's vitality isn't as good as before. If we declare war on the Imperial Palace, the position of the Exquisite Sea will …"
"Patriarch Lan Tianchao, are we going to declare war on the Imperial Palace for an unrelated person?
Isn't this somewhat unacceptable to all of us in the Exquisite Sea?
We could have developed peacefully, but if we were to fight … What's in it for us? "
"That's right, Patriarch Lan Tianchao. What's in it for us? The Soul Law parchment?
It's still in that brat's hands. That's fine, but the point is that regardless of whether he gives it to us or not, we at least know about it. Even if we go there, the Law of Souls might not fall into the hands of the Exquisite Sea. There are so many uncertainties, so why do we have to do something that will definitely bring us great losses?
I don't agree. "
"…"
They were all against it!
"Everyone!"
Lan Tianchao stood up and looked at everyone.
"Everyone!
Do you still think that this matter is purely caused by someone else? "
Lan Tianchao asked.
