Immediately after hearing Ling Chen's words, Bai Wudi suddenly jolted awake from his thought and shifted his gaze towards Ling Chen.
He didn't even bother to hide the contemptuous look on his face while looking at Ling Chen nor the hostility in his eyes.
"Unlike humans, we demon beasts don't like to beat around the bush. The reason I came here is that you have two things in your possession that belong to me, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could hand them over." Bai Wudi said in a calm and emotionless tone.
Though it seemed like he was asking nicely, it was more like an order. He didn't seem to leave any room for refusal or negotiation.
Listening to Bai Wudi's words, Ling Chen was now sure that they have found out about both Hu'er and the key of the Great Luo Martial God's Tomb.
Even though he didn't have the key with him, he knew its location and it was only a matter of time before he could acquire it.
"I really appreciate your straightforwardness, but I'm afraid I can't comply with any of your demands."
Now that the cat was out of the bag, Ling Chen didn't plan on beating around the bush either.
However, the moment Bai Wudi heard Ling Chen's answer, his whole persona suddenly changed.
At this moment, he no longer appeared like a calm and weak middle-aged man and was more like an awakened ferocious divine tiger.
Before his piercing gaze, even a peak Martial Venerable powerhouse would find that their legs would give in.
"Human, I hope you understand what your refusal means." Bai Wudi threateningly said:" I suggest you think again carefully before answering."
Not only him, but Bai Tian's expression turned cold and his peak Demon Venerable aura also soared as waves of fiery bright lights condensed. At the same time, his bloodlust swept throughout the whole room. It seemed that he was about to attack.
"Human brat, even if you don't want to, you'll have to hand them over." Bai Tian coldly declared with a darkened expression:" Unless you wish to become the enemy with our Saint Tiger Demon Beast Clan and all of the demon beasts in the Heaven Desolate Region."
He was a direct descendant of the Saint Tiger Demon Beast Clan and was always arrogant with his noble identity. With his divine bloodline, he considered humans as nothing but a weak lower lifeform.
He always gets what he wants. No matter where he went, whether humans or demon beasts, they were all afraid of him and respect him. Yet that puny human dared to act all mighty in front of him just because he had broken through the Martial Saint Realm.
With Ling Chen's current strength, Bai Tian was no different than a regular mortal despite his peak demon venerable strength.
"A little Kitty dared to act like a real tiger in front of me and threatened me in my own house. Ling Lei, he's all yours." Ling Chen seemed to be too lazy to look at Bai Tian as he commanded.
Before neither Bai Wudi or Bai Tian knew what was happening, Ling Chen had already released his God's Domain.
"Pa, Pa!" At the same time, two loud slaps clearly resounded. Ling Lei, who had been standing behind Ling Chen's had suddenly disappeared and went to slap Bai Tian twice.
Bai Tian's mouth was full of blood after he got slapped as he lividly glared at Ling Lei who already came back and stood behind Ling Chen.
"You!" Bai Tian wanted to vomit blood from anger and had an extremely ugly expression at the moment. He wished that he could rush forward and kill Ling Chen, but reason told him that he was not a match. He had no choice but to hold back.
Even Saint beast Bai Wudi couldn't stop Ling Lei on time or whether he couldn't. The moment Ling Chen's released his God's Domain, both of them were imprisoned within his spatial domain for a second or two.
Bai Wudi's expression became extremely ugly. Everyone knew that Bai Tian was his beloved grandson ad also the only member of the Tiger Clan whose divine blood was as thick as his. Now, that youth had slapped him in front of him — this was not showing him any face, thus prompting his strong response: " Ignorant Human, It seems like you don't know the immensity of the heaven and earth—"
Ling Chen rudely interrupted him: " Don't act audaciously within my territory old man. I don't give a rat ass about the immensity of heaven."
He calmly continued his declaration: " If you think I'm afraid of opposing the entire demon beasts clan in the Heaven Desolate Region, you're clearly mistaken. I'm the type that kills all those who oppose me, so even if your demon beast territory has billions of demon beasts, I don't mind killing billions."
"Now, If you don't have anything else to say, then scram!"
Ling Chen's crude and dominating words caused Fang Lan's jaw to drop to the ground and his eyes to open up wide.
At the same time, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ling Chen's aggressive style did not befit an exhale Martial Saint powerhouse or a great power's etiquette.
The Saint Beast Bai Wudi angrily shivered while pointing at Ling Chen and shouted: " Human, you…!"
"Are you going to leave or do you want me to throw you out." Ling Chen seemed to be tired of Bai Wudi as he stood up from his seat.
The Saint Beast Bai Wudi expression kept on changing colors in an unsightly manner. Today, being yelled at by a puny human left him in an extremely humiliating state.
His gaze became extremely cruel as he spoke with a twisted expression: " Remember, you brought this upon yourself human."
Having said that, he stood up and left the room followed by angry-looking Bai Tian.
"Young master, I don't think it's wise for us to go to war against the Saint Tiger Demon Beast Clan while the sect hasn't recovered from the previous war yet."
" Also, we should have killed both of them and stopped the war before it could have started." Fang Lan said with a concerned look on his face.
He understood that Ling Chen would have never given them Hu'er which was understandable, but he could have killed both Bai Wudi and Bai Tian to prevent the war.
"He hehe! Fang Lan, do you think I didn't think about that. These two people weren't the real Bai Wudi and Bai Tai, they were two proxies, two good actors."
"These two were two tiger demon beasts with shapeshifting abilities. They seemed to have a high status in the Saint Tiger Demon Beast Clan. When I released my God's Domain, I took the opportunity to read their minds without them noticing. If I had killed them right here, the real Bai Wudi would have made his move in less than an hour."
"Each one of them was branded with the real Bai Wudi's spiritual sense and a portion of his power. The moment they died, the spiritual sense would disappear. I can't kidnap them either because he would know. Our best course of action was to let them go unharmed which buy us some time." Carefully explained Ling Chen.
For a demon beast, Bai Wudi was really cunning and cautious. Luckily, he had awakened an ability to read the mind of anyone with weak spiritual power after breaking through the Martial Saint realm with his left eye, otherwise, he would have fallen into that bastard's trap.
If he had killed them both, it was a sign that he didn't agree to his demands and Bai Wudi would immediately proceed in invading the human territory. However, If he let them go, then he would have to wait four days until they came back to find out whether not he agreed.
"Here I was worried about finding more spiritual fruits and energy to feed these five little devils. It's time to show them how to hunt on their own." Murmured Ling Chen with a wicked smile on his face.
"Fang Lan, Ling Lei, get ready. We have four days to prevent a race war and dismantle the nest of the Saint Tiger Demon Beast Clan." He added.
