Chapter 2143: Chapter 2143

Lin He's expression was extremely grim. He originally thought that the Eight Realms uniting to bully the Human World was more than sufficient.

Who would have expected that the strength of the Human World would increase to such a formidable level, so much so that it was unimaginable for them.

Of course, Lin He also understood clearly that the Human World's strength was definitely related to the Feather Spirit Palace.

At this moment, Lin He's heart grew even more eager. He wished he could personally go to the Feather Spirit Palace to see for himself. He truly wanted to know what secrets the Feather Spirit Palace held.

However, the matter of going to the Feather Spirit Palace was for later. The most critical issue now was how to resolve the current predicament.

Looking around at the people nearby, Lin He couldn't help but feel alarmed. If a war truly broke out, even he might not be able to leave alive.

Taking a deep breath, Lin He's voice softened as he gently said, "Su Alliance Leader, why do this? We were just joking with you, did you take it seriously? We agreed the Nine Realms United would explore the Feather Spirit Palace together, so naturally, we are friends. There's no need to escalate things to this point!"

Hearing this, everyone internally cursed; his face was indeed thick-skinned!

Su Yang coldly glanced at Lin He and spat, "Who is a friend with you? You immortals up high, how could you condescend to befriend ants?"

Everyone looked awkward; these were their own words being used against them by Su Yang, an utter slap in the face.

Lin He, however, was not at all embarrassed, his face truly too thick.

"Su Alliance Leader, you're joking!" Lin He chuckled, "The Nine Realms are one, there is no distinction between immortals and ants; we're all friends. Moreover, the Nine Realms united to explore the Feather Spirit Palace, that's a matter of great importance for the Nine Realms. The Saints have given instructions that we must explore the Feather Spirit Palace thoroughly, regardless. The Feather Spirit Palace is what's important; there's no need to hurt feelings over trivial matters and hinder the big picture, right?"

Lin He's words seemed to be seeking reconciliation, but in fact, he was using the Saints as leverage to subtly pressure Su Yang.

Should you start a battle again and affect the exploration of the Feather Spirit Palace, it would be tantamount to disregarding the Saints' orders.

Su Yang gave Lin He a glance and said in a cold voice, "The Saints instructed to explore the Feather Spirit Palace, but did they order you to confront my Human World and exterminate my Human Clan?"

"Of course not!" Lin He quickly laughed, who would dare falsely pass on the Saints' decree?

"Since not, then what do you mean by this?" Su Yang coldly stated, "Upon entering, you shouted about exterminating my Human Clan and destroying my Human World? Humph, although the Human Clan is weak, we will not allow anyone to trample us. If you wish to annihilate my Human Clan, then we will rise up and fight back. Today, even if my Human Clan falls in battle, we will not retreat. Kill one to even the score, kill two to make a profit. Do you dare face us?"

The Seven Realms' delegates were left speechless. It's not about whether the Human World would fall, but that if a war broke out, the Seven Realms' people would certainly perish. Who dared boast anymore?

Lin He hurriedly said, "Su Alliance Leader, please calm down, calm down, it was all just a joke…"

"A joke?" Su Yang said coldly, "Sorry, I'm not one for jokes, nor do I think you were joking. I have just one thing to say: fight or don't fight!"

The Seven Realms' people lowered their heads; who dared to fight?

"Su Alliance Leader, you've misunderstood, there's definitely no intention to fight, we also don't mean to..." Lin He hurriedly added.

"If not fighting, then pay the price for what you've said and done earlier!" Su Yang directly interrupted Lin He, "I feel that you all came to the Human World without sincerity. Hence, we of the Human World do not accept you. Now, return at once and have the Seven Realms send over people whom we can accept!"

The faces of the Seven Realms' people changed; Su Yang's demand was practically a death sentence.

This time, they'd exerted a lot of effort to secure the opportunity to enter the Human World. After all, entering the Human World meant being among the first to enter the Feather Spirit Palace, surely yielding benefits.

Now, if Su Yang wanted them to leave, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Most crucially, if they returned and the Seven Realms learned they botched the mission, they would have no way to face anyone.

These people truly didn't want to leave just like that.

Lin He too looked embarrassed; returning would surely mean severe punishment from his family.

"Su Alliance Leader, you've misunderstood. We came to the Human World with great sincerity..." Lin He hurriedly said, "In fact, the Eight Realms handpicked the most willing members to enter the Human World. Sending us back and resending others would mean getting used to them all over again, perhaps leading to unforeseen issues. This... this isn't suitable. Who knows when the Feather Spirit Palace will open; time cannot be wasted. Let me apologize for the earlier matters, it truly was just a joke..."

"Hmph!" Su Yang directly interrupted Lin He. Although Lin He addressed him as you, Su Yang was still unwilling to give him any courtesy.

"With great sincerity?" Su Yang said coldly, "Coming to my Human World without adhering to our rules, do you call that sincerity?"

Lin He was momentarily stunned, then his expression slightly changed. After all this commotion, Su Yang still wanted them to abide by the rules of the Human World.

So if they followed the Human World's rules, Su Yang might not pursue the matter further.

The issue, though, was understanding what those rules were. Should the rules impose too many restrictions, would they not suffer losses?

Thinking of this, Lin He felt like slapping himself.

Had he known things would develop to this point, he wouldn't have created so much trouble, but rather first looked at the Human World's rules. Maybe he could have discussed and modified those rules before relations soured completely.

Now it's over; with everything escalated to this extent, they had no qualifications to negotiate the rules any further!

Heart filled with helplessness, Lin He still wished to strive more, softly saying, "We will certainly obey the Human World's rules. Let us first see the rules…"

"See what?" Su Yang said directly, "You no longer have the qualification to see. Just get out. Send others who can see!"

"Su, don't push it!" a person from the Ghost Realm shouted angrily.

"And what if I do?" Su Yang shouted back, "I've told you, if you dare to fight, you're afraid of death? We the Human World, even if it means the entire Human Clan, have nothing to fear; what are you afraid of?"
