Chapter 1686: Chapter 1677: Friends and Foes Clearly Distinguished

"All of you have come from afar, why not join us for a drink on this Lingjue Peak?"

In the pavilion, the Green Emperor and Lin Bai stopped their conversation, turning their gaze towards the five Evil Demons.

They exchanged glances for a couple of seconds, and Lin Bai spoke with a smile.

On him, there was not a trace of Spiritual Power fluctuating, and dressed in white, he appeared like a mere scholar in the mortal world.

Sixty years had passed quickly, and now, Lin Bai’s cultivation had reached an unfathomable level.

Throughout the current Three Pure Realm, among the younger generation, aside from Mo Wangchen, perhaps few could be his equal.

"These two people..."

Observing the faint smile on Lin Bai’s face, the Evil Demon slightly furrowed his brow.

Even though he couldn’t sense the flow of any aura from these two, his intuition told him that the two in the pavilion were certainly not ordinary mortals.

"Having a drink is no harm."

Xuanyuan Kongbai and the others remained silent for a moment before the Evil Demon smiled, leading them into the pavilion first.

"In years past, our Three Pure Realm experienced a depletion of Spiritual Energy and the Laws were absent in Heaven and Earth. Yet, in those dark times, a Saint could still prove their Dao and seal as God here. Since then, the God Realm is no longer just a legend, and the environment of Lingjue Peak has undergone significant changes due to the Divine Power drawn during that Saint’s divine enthronement, becoming an extraordinarily splendid place today."

Once all five Evil Demons were seated, Lin Bai filled his own cup with tea, sipped it gently, and spoke with a smile.

"The pleasant aroma of the tea, this scene and setting are indeed delightful. It’s a pity, though, I see hostility in the eyes of you two." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The Evil Demon grabbed an empty teacup, filled it for himself, drank half, and looked towards Lin Bai and the Green Emperor.

"I also see hostility in your eyes."

Lin Bai set down his teacup and spoke frankly, locking eyes with the Evil Demon.

"That being the case, we cannot be considered friends. This tea, perhaps it’s better not to drink..."

Beside him, the Green Emperor smiled, drank up the remaining tea in his cup, stood up, brought his fingers together, and waved them in the air. Instantly, the stone table before them was sliced in half by an invisible sharp edge.

The teaware on the table turned to dust, and the remaining tea evaporated, leaving only a fragrant scent in the air.

"Cross this line, and we are enemies. I advise you all to turn around and leave."

The Green Emperor spoke calmly, but his simple words instantly intensified the atmosphere.

At the spot where the stone table was cut, a long mark several meters in length appeared on the ground, a boundary that if the five Evil Demons crossed, the Green Emperor and Lin Bai would attack without hesitation.

In fact, the Green Emperor and Lin Bai had already arrived here two days ago.

The five mysterious young masters shocked the world, intending to stride into the Divine Emperor City. They had already received some information about these five from Mo Wangchen.

They were guests from the Outer realm, not from the Three Pure Realm.

Besides Lin Bai and the Green Emperor, there were indeed many other young masters on their way here.

Such as Mu Xi, Tian Xinzhi, and others.

They had clearly received messages from Mo Wangchen.

"It seems you two are here waiting for our arrival?"

The Evil Demon smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Bai and the Green Emperor, a cold glint suddenly flickering in his eyes, "The Spiritual Energy in this realm is thin, yet it can produce masters like you two. Truly remarkable. It is known that within the Longevity Domain, countless miles from here, there is a Holy Mountain, and atop that mountain, there is a Mo Venerable, who must have sensed our presence upon our arrival. It was he who sent you, wasn’t it?"

"Brother Mo presides over this realm, comprehending the Great Dao on the Holy Mountain, and has not descended in decades. However, given your arrival with clear hostility towards our realm, even if he did not wish to descend the mountain, he probably has no choice now," Lin Bai said.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing his words, the Evil Demon narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, the person who presides over the Divine Tablet of this realm is on his way here? Or perhaps he is here already, just hiding in the shadows?"

Lin Bai smiled faintly but did not respond, instead saying, "Even though you are guests from the Outer realm, as long as there is no ill will towards our Three Pure Realm, we can be friends. Otherwise, we are enemies. In fact, neither we two nor Brother Mo, nor even the many cultivators of this realm, wish to be enemies with you. Can this farce stop?"

"From the day I left the Nine Classics Realm, it signified that some things can no longer be stopped. Moreover, that day in Gusu City, two who were meant to die survived due to external interference. This has no real impact on me, but for Kongbai, it presents a Dao Heart obstacle. Handing over those two would naturally resolve everything," the Evil Demon said.

"In all these years, no one I intended to kill has ever survived. This is a way for me to temper my undefeated path. Only with the death of those two can this so-called farce cease," Xuanyuan Kongbai added.

The Green Emperor said calmly, "There might be other ways."

"Indeed, there are."

Xuanyuan Kongbai’s face suddenly broke into a wicked smile, "But I won’t choose them."

The other way the Green Emperor mentioned was that Xuanyuan Kongbai’s death would also end this farce.

However, not to mention that Xuanyuan Kongbai himself would never do that, following Evil Demon in his conquests through the Ten Thousand Realms, even the Evil Demon wouldn’t let him die.

"That’s unfortunate then. Brother Mo means no more of our realm’s cultivators should perish at your hands. Moreover, one of those two young talents from that day is a Saint Heir under a friend of mine. It is impossible for you to have them handed over," Lin Bai said, looking at Xuanyuan Kongbai.

"Clear distinction between friend and enemy makes it straightforward to identify our relationship. As enemies, there’s nothing more to say. We won’t stop moving forward. If you wish to block our path, then there is only one course: battle."

As his words fell, in Xuanyuan Kongbai’s eyes, a surge of battle intent erupted, "Will you two approach together, or will one come first?"

"You speak boldly, desiring to fight us both alone?" The Green Emperor sneered.

Xuanyuan Kongbai’s face showed a cold smile, "Even though the Three Pure now is nearly the weakest of the Ten Thousand Realms, though both in the Ancient God Realm Great Mahayana, dealing with you two alone is sufficient."

"Let’s see how much capability the so-called pride of the Outer realm truly has." The Green Emperor sneered, his words falling as he leaped into the sky, enacting the Green Emperor Technique. His entire body radiated a dazzling aura, from the appearance of his aura, clearly at or above the sixth stage of the Ancient God Realm.
