Taishan Jade Emperor Peak.

The moonlight was bright, and the stars were sparse.

The figures of the Ten Great Exotic Beast Kings lay prostrate on the ground, awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Lu Yuan stood before them, his gaze appearing extremely calm.

His voice also slowly descended at this moment.

Just as he said.

No nonsense, very concise, and very domineering, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Beside him, Elder Ji and Elder Yun both went stiff upon hearing it.

Woodenly turning their heads, their eyes were filled with shock and helplessness.

They must know that they came here this time for negotiation, right? What is negotiation? It's about lowering one's stance as much as possible, then yielding if needed, to satisfy the other party, so that there's a necessity to continue talking.

But now, well, from Lu Yuan's mouth, it became a notification, with no hint of negotiation at all.

In front of them were the Ten Great Exotic Beast Kings, who were almost all in the Golden Body Realm.

Each one was incredibly powerful.

If they were in a human city and caused trouble, it would be a disaster level, right?

And just now, that sentence had no compromise and no lowered stance whatsoever.

At this moment, the two of them had already foreseen that they would go mad.

After all.

Lu Yuan's words were too direct, too domineering...

Not far away, the Spiritual Monkey also felt that the Spiritual Peach in its hand was no longer tasty and looked up.

It had already mentioned before that these Exotic Beast Kings were very irritable, would not submit, and a fight might be necessary.

The meaning was to tell the other party that if they wanted to negotiate successfully, to prevent any more beast tides, they should compromise if needed, but Lu Yuan's words completely blocked off any paths forward, how could they negotiate?

It seems, as expected, a battle might really happen.

Sure enough.

At this moment, all Ten Great Exotic Beast Kings turned to Lu Yuan.

Their eyes were unfriendly, some even bore killing intent.

That Black Bull snorted, thick white mist appeared, and the black light entwined around its horns became deeper.

Beside, the Nine-tailed Fox King had a human-like gaze, but didn't plan to speak, merely watched silently.

"Human, you really have some nerve!"

Finally, it was the Giant Flood Dragon King who spoke.

Although its body was only several dozen meters long, the silver scales radiated a lustrous shine in the moonlight, harder than alloy, and the aura it exuded was tremendously massive, fully transformed into a Jiao, stronger than the White King and the Dragon Blood Flood Dragon.

It approached slowly, staring viciously at Lu Yuan: "But what you said, we won't agree to."

"For long, in the old times, humans slaughtered my kind unscrupulously, taking advantage of being a few steps ahead."

"Now we've gained power and been favored by the heavens, finally able to rise, yet here you are, at this critical moment, asking us not to initiate a beast tide, how convenient that would be?"

Upon finishing, the Giant Flood Dragon King continued approaching, a vast aura erupted from its body.

Just like that, it closely watched Lu Yuan, continuing: "What you said, I won't agree. The blood debts the beasts have endured for thousands of years, I will claim them back."

Upon these words, Elders Ji and Yun's faces immediately changed, knowing the negotiation had failed, faces had been torn.

But Lu Yuan beside them remained the same, quietly saying: "Huh, those things you mentioned, I think I've heard them said somewhere, didn't the White King of Qinling say similar things?"

"Indeed!"

Hearing this, the Giant Flood Dragon King roared: "The Qinling White King is a distant kin of mine, I know it was you who killed it."

"Today I came not to negotiate with you, but to avenge it, and after killing you, I'll initiate a beast tide and command thousands of beasts to directly slaughter the city, making humans pay the steepest price!"

Talking about the White King, it was very angry and got straight to the point of its visit.

Its body emanated an incredibly terrifying killing intent.

As if it were about to materialize.

Rumble!

But just as the Giant Flood Dragon King finished speaking.

Lu Yuan moved, taking a step forward, golden blood energy surged out.

Thunder surrounded his entire body, turning him into a stream of light, arriving in front of the Giant Flood Dragon King in an instant.

His expression was cold, with no hesitation at all, raising his right hand as endless Power of Thunderbolt gathered, striking down on the massive head in front of him.

Crackle~

Squelch~

Squelch~

In an instant.

The lightning shot out, illuminating this area.

The immense Power of Thunderbolt reverberated, overwhelming the entire body of the Giant Flood Dragon King.

Its armor, sturdier than alloy, cracked instantly, with a torrent of blood gushing forth.

Thunder symbolizes ferocity and slaughter, the attack being the strongest.

Especially since Lu Yuan unleashed it without restraint.

Though the Giant Flood Dragon King was strong.

It had just entered the Golden Body Realm, with bloodline not as superior as the Spiritual Monkey, how could it withstand?

In almost a breath, its vitality dissipated at the fastest speed, without displaying its might, it fell heavily to the ground, breathless, its silvery-white body turned charred, exuding a meaty fragrance.

"This time I came, not to negotiate, only to agree or disagree, no unnecessary nonsense."

Having done all this, Lu Yuan returned to his original spot, clapping his hands softly.

Then he turned his head, looking at the remaining nine Exotic Beast Kings beside him.

"Where were we? Continue."

The Giant Flood Dragon King's threat to initiate a beast tide had already crossed the line, and he didn't like being threatened.

At this moment.

As Lu Yuan's voice fell.

The entire Jade Emperor Peak fell into silence.

Ji Lao and Yun Lao looked at the giant body of the Giant Flood Dragon King in front of them, swallowing hard.

Too domineering, too straightforward, attacking at the slightest disagreement.

Unleashing a massacre right in front of the other Exotic Beast Kings.

Indeed.

Lu Wang is still that same Lu Wang.

Unrestrained, domineering, and direct.

But will this make things more complicated?

Not far away, led by the Peacock King, the other Nine Great Exotic Beast Kings showed signs of shock in their eyes.

Everything that had just happened was too fast, basically without any reaction, the Giant Flood Dragon King was already dead.

Killed in an instant, without any room for resistance.

If before, they came to the Taishan Jade Emperor Peak out of respect for the Spiritual Monkey, now they had to take Lu Yuan's powerful strength seriously.

After all, although Lu Yuan was merely in the Shackles Realm, he could slay someone in the Golden Body Realm, and it seemed he hadn't even used his full strength...

But ultimately, Lu Yuan acted right in front of them, and some of the Exotic Beast Kings, after realizing it, felt provoked.

The Black Bull King and two or three other kings couldn't help but move forward slowly.

"Human King."

But at this moment, the Peacock King spoke, stopping the Black Bull King and others, stepping forward, "What you said, indeed, can be discussed, but if humans actively hunt our beasts, how can we do nothing and wait to be killed?"

Its voice sounded like a middle-aged man; because it was the strongest, after it spoke, the other Exotic Beast Kings withdrew and did not obstruct.

And those words represented that now, the Peacock King acknowledged Lu Yuan's strength and was ready to have a proper talk.

As for the nearby Giant Flood Dragon King, it didn't really matter to them.

Dead is dead.

Among Exotic Beasts, the true law of the jungle prevails.

The Peacock King saw that Lu Yuan was very strong and not easy to deal with.

If a real fight broke out.

The consequences might not be good, so it calmed the other Beast Kings.

"Naturally."

Lu Yuan responded with a smile, "You just need to promise not to invade human territories or trigger a beast tide to attack cities, that's all."

His purpose was simple; it was to protect the stability of major cities. As for Awakened ones who actively provoke, of course, he couldn't care less, that would be too harsh. Still, as the saying goes, the law of the jungle.

As long as it doesn't evolve into an uncontrollable situation, everything else can be ignored.

"Is that so?" The Peacock King fell into deep thought.

The feathers on its wings emitted light, looking indeed extraordinary.

Within its body, there was also a powerful force, among all the current Exotic Beasts, it was one of the strongest.

Finally, it glanced at the nearby Spiritual Monkey, then turned its head, "Alright, we can agree to these terms."

When this was said, the Exotic Beast Kings beside them couldn't help but become agitated.

But as the aura on the Peacock King's body fluctuated.

They still restrained themselves.

Among Exotic Beasts, there is also a presence that commands respect, and the Peacock King was included in that category.

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded slightly and lowered his head a little.

Knowing that the other party had already made considerable concessions, naturally, he couldn't demand more.

Then, he turned around, exchanged a glance with the Spiritual Monkey as a farewell, and directly said, "Ji Lao, Yun Lao, let's go."

After speaking, he started walking down the mountain.

Is it over just like that?

Ji Lao and Yun Lao couldn't help but be stunned, full of confusion.

But they said nothing, choosing to follow behind.

"Peacock King, why did you agree with this human?"

After Lu Yuan left, the Black Bull King stepped forward, clearly dissatisfied.

"The world is still changing. For Exotic Beasts and humans, if a temporary cease-fire can be achieved, it's not necessarily a bad thing; there's no need for life and death confrontation," the Nine-tailed Fox King spoke, its pure white fur emitting a lustrous glow, its voice very gentle, like a girl in her early years.

"That's right, there will be greater crises in the future. After all, we are all creatures of the same world."

The Spiritual Monkey also came over, carrying an iron staff, but it wasn't as carefree as before.

It spoke very solemnly, seemingly knowing a lot of things.

In fact.

Exotic Beasts with powerful bloodlines all understood some deep secrets from their inherited memories.

"But I'm still a bit unconvinced," the Black Bull King spoke, its voice buzzing.

"It won't end this easily, at least, we have to see how strong that human king really is." Finally, the Peacock King spoke, its eyes fixed in the direction of Lu Yuan's departure, with battle intent surging in its eyes.

Several Exotic Beast Kings beside them were astonished, looking at each other, not quite understanding the meaning.

But the Peacock King did not explain, just informed the Beast Kings to remain at the Jade Emperor Peak for a few more days.

On the other side.

Lu Yuan led the three of them down Mount Tai.

Ji Lao and Yun Lao felt this negotiation was too hurried; clearly, nothing was said, they just killed a Giant Flood Dragon King.

At least, something like agreements and contracts should have been signed, right?

But to this, Lu Yuan just smiled and remained silent.

Leaving the two elders baffled.

Still, they were very worried in their hearts.

After all, it was a big matter, concerning the safety of many people across the country, and could not be handled carelessly.

Thus, a few days passed in a flash.

During this time, some instruments from the Taishan Trial Institute.

Suddenly detected a strong energy wave at the location of the Jade Emperor Peak, as if... a great battle was happening.
