Chapter 2088 - Following Like Shadows
Mi Yeyun, Jin Buyi, Feng Wuji...
Practically every divine son had been imprisoned, and they just floated there like slabs of meat. Some looked dejected, while others were aggrieved and angry.
The Greater Gods’ expressions darkened. They couldn’t attack for fear of hurting those they wanted to save.
All of them understood what Su Yi was trying to do: He was using the divine children as hostages to threaten them with!
“Let them go, and we’ll let this end here. We won’t cause any further trouble for you. Refuse, and don’t blame us for our poor manners!” said Ren Beiyou, his expression icy. His voice boomed throughout the entire area.
“Poor manners, huh?” Su Yi laughed, then gestured to Mi Yeyun. “Go right ahead and show me how bad your manners are. I promise he’ll die by your hand.”
“You...” Ren Beiyou was so angry that his lungs practically exploded. If looks could kill, Su Yi would have died countless times over by now.
Bo Yun took a step forward and said gravely, “You didn’t kill the divine children for a reason. I’m sure you’d prefer to avoid mutual destruction, too. In that case, why not tell us your terms? Whatever they are, so long as they’re within our power to grant, it’s up for discussion.”
The others nodded along. Right now, nothing mattered more than saving the divine children’s lives. They couldn’t afford to provoke Su Yi.
“My conditions are simple,” said Su Yi. “Once I’ve crossed the Deification Star Sea, I’ll let the hostages go. You’d best behave yourselves until then.”
“We can’t agree to that!” Ren Beiyou said firmly. “You have to let the hostages go first. We won’t agree to your conditions otherwise.”
