"This subordinate understands!"
The Grand Elder jolted where he stood. He knew perfectly well that the Hall Master had truly been provoked this time. If Darian still refused to cooperate on this trip to the Demon Dragon Hall, then they would use force and pressure him directly.
Godric gave a satisfied nod, then waved a hand.
"Go. Leave at once. I'll be waiting for your good news."
"This subordinate takes his leave!"
The Grand Elder bowed, turned, and strode out at once. The moment he left, he began gathering men and making ready for the trip to the Demon Dragon Hall.
Chapter 第二十九章 The Celestial Palace Returns
Three days later, outside the Demon Dragon Hall, on the edge of the Demon Marches.
The sky was still buried under heavy black fog, and dark red winds still howled without end. But today, above the white-jade square of the Demon Dragon Hall, there was an extra presence in the air, one that clashed sharply with the demonic aura of the Demon Marches.
It was a sacred presence that did not belong here at all.
A streak of light cut through the black fog and came down onto the square with grand force. When the radiance scattered, dozens of figures in golden divine robes appeared in full view.
At the front stood the Grand Elder of the Celestial Palace. His hair and beard were white, his face stern, and golden celestial power flowed around him. The aura of a True Immortal Realm expert poured out without the slightest restraint, pressing the surrounding demonic aura back again and again.
Behind him stood three other True Immortal elders, one on each side, their presences just as overwhelming. Fifty elite High Immortal cultivators in divine armor formed up in neat ranks behind them, every one of them straight-backed and severe, their combined pressure hitting like a wall.
This time, the Grand Elder had none of the lowered posture from his last visit. He stood with his hands behind his back, chest lifted, eyes locked on the main doors of the Demon Dragon Hall.
The pressure spilling off him was openly superior and overbearing. He had come here to force the issue, and he wasn't hiding it.
A moment later, the heavy hall doors slowly opened. Darian stepped out from inside and stopped above the entrance, looking down from on high at the Celestial Palace party gathered in the square.
When he saw the three True Immortal elders behind the Grand Elder, along with the fifty elite High Immortal cultivators, his brows pulled together slightly. A flash of displeasure passed through his eyes, but it disappeared just as quickly, replaced by a smile that carried more than one meaning.
"Grand Elder, it's only been a few days, and here you are again, still looking well enough. I didn't expect your second visit to the Demon Dragon Hall to come with so many elite experts in tow. This display is much bigger than last time. You're really overwhelming me here."
Darian's tone carried a trace of teasing, but there was no submission in it and no arrogance either.
The Grand Elder gave him a flat glance, his voice cold and proud.
"Chieftain Darian, I came again under the Hall Master's orders to discuss joining forces against Jared. I ask that you make things convenient and let us enter the hall so we can speak in detail."
Darian's gaze moved slowly across the three True Immortal elders behind him. Then the corner of his mouth lifted into a mocking smile.
"Grand Elder, now you've got me a little confused. You brought this many experts with you today, so are you here to talk cooperation... or to make a show of force at my Demon Dragon Hall?"
The Grand Elder's expression did not change.
"Chieftain, you're overthinking it. I brought men here both to discuss cooperation and to show the Demon Dragon Lineage the Celestial Palace's sincerity.
This matter of dealing with Jared is too important. Naturally, the Celestial Palace has to show enough posture to prove our resolve."
Darian stared at the Grand Elder for a moment. Then he suddenly threw back his head and laughed.
"Good! Good sincerity indeed! Since Grand Elder is showing this much sincerity, then please, come inside and let us talk!"
With that, he shifted aside and opened the way, making a clear gesture for them to enter.
The Grand Elder gave a cold snort and stepped into the Demon Dragon Hall with the three True Immortal elders behind him. The fifty elite High Immortal cultivators stayed outside on the square under orders.
Without permission, none of them was allowed inside.
