Chapter 7049
Two disciples of the Qadeer Sect stepped forward, grabbed the bloodied Yule, and immediately dragged him back into the temple.
Only at this moment did Emperor Qadeer step forward, bowing deeply to Thea with a regretful expression on his face.
'Young Lady, please forgive me. I have failed to govern my domain properly, allowing such a villain to emerge, nearly jeopardizing the relationship between our Qadeer Temple and the Wyrmscale Source. I am truly sorry. Please allow me to make amends here!"
As he bowed, the powerhouses with killing intent who had surrounded Thea, all knelt in the void and kowtowed in apology. At the same time, the numerous Qadeer Sect disciples who lined up on both sides all knelt with a resounding thud, presenting a united and imposing front.
Such an apology would be accepted by anyone with even a modicum of understanding of social norms, perhaps even taken aback by the favor shown, considering Emperor Qadeer was one of the Five Path Emperors of the Greater Realms. However, Thea was not one to appreciate social norms. She remained unmoved when faced with moral coercion.
Without uttering a word, Emperor Qadeer would have to continue bowing, while the surrounding disciples would remain kneeling.
After a while, Emperor Qadeer slightly furrowed his brows. He straightened his posture and looked directly at Thea. 'Young Lady, could it be that our sincerity in making amends is not enough to earn your forgiveness?"
Thea cast a sidelong glance at him. Then, she smiled faintly. "Xanthakos, we're all ancient monsters who have roamed the Greater Realms for millions of
entrapochs. Spare me the deceitful tricks, won't you?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qadeer first froze, then burst into laughter and straightened his posture. "Good, you're straightforward and quick-witted, much like your husband. Both of you are worthy of respect and admiration. Let's dispense with the formalities."
With that, he waved his hand, and the Qadeer Sect disciples surrounding Thea immediately withdrew. Even the disciples on the left and right who had welcomed them also withdrew into the temple. In an instant, only Thea and Emperor Qadeer remained in the void.
"Get to the point." Emperor Qadeer stared at Thea intently. "After all this effort and circling around, you've even touched upon my most sensitive nerve. What exactly do you want?" "I want your life. Will you give it to me?" Thea asked coldly. Emperor Qadeer chuckled. "I understand your intentions. If you merely wanted my life, there would be no need for such elaborate schemes." "Enough with the nonsense, release them," Thea said bluntly.
Emperor Qadeer took a deep breath. "Are you here as Yin governor or as the Young Lady of the Wyrmscale Source?" "Both," Thea replied coldly. "I can assure you, if you release him, the Wyrmscale Source may not serve you, but it will certainly not be your enemy. Conversely, you know!"
This was a blatant threat, but Thea had the confidence to make it because she knew exactly what Emperor Qadeer needed at this moment. However, Emperor Qadeer remained calm and smiled faintly.
"What about your husband? Will he not be my enemy either?" "Right now, it's you who wants to be our enemy." Thea narrowed her eyes into slits. "We'll retaliate, as is only natural." "Very well!" Emperor Qadeer took a deep breath. "Let's sign a soul contract and cease hostilities on both sides, shall we?"
Seeing Thea's indifference, Emperor Qadeer raised the stakes once more." I know about your deep-seated enmity with Yehria. I won't interfere in that matter, and you can handle her as you see fit. These conditions can be included in our ceasefire soul contract."
At this, Thea raised an eyebrow. 'You're uneasy about Lord Goyo's emergence. Are you offering just this tiny concession? Are you treating US like children?" "What do you propose?" Emperor Qadeer stared at Thea intently.
