Chapter 16 The Three-Day Pact
Seeing that Li Gen was impervious to reason, Nezha realized that it wasn’t that the matter couldn’t be negotiated, but that the other party simply didn’t regard him as important.
If Taiyi Zhenren came today, or at the very least, the General of Chentang Pass, Li Jing, Li Gen’s attitude wouldn’t be like this.
With nothing else to do, Nezha thought he could only stall for time and think of another plan.
He said, "I only heard that the sacrificial offerings are for the Four Sea Dragon Kings, but the Dragon King is a True God of the Heavenly Court in charge of rain and clouds. How could he commit such an evil act as swallowing people alive? Every time there are sacrifices, only you, the Yaksha, come. Is this sacrifice for the Sea Dragon King or for you, a Yaksha?"
"Insolent brat!"
In Nezha’s eyes, the blue light around Li Gen intensified, the terrifying pressure almost materializing to press forward!
If it were an ordinary person, they would have surely turned pale and been frightened out of their wits, but Nezha’s spiritual resilience was equally strong, his expression unchanged as he continued, "You should go down and pass on a message for me. The Dragon King, as a True God of the Heavenly Court who governs the clouds and rain, should operate in secret, spreading kindness to the Four Seas. Heaven cherishes life and Nezha does not believe the Dragon Palace would dare defy Heaven and commit such evil deeds. The sacrifices stop here, and what happened in the past shall be let go!"
"Centuries of sacrifices, how can they stop just because you say so? I’ll say it again, quickly hand over the offering!"
Li Gen was furious, his large nostrils spewing two streams of hot white air, puzzled as to why this mere child, with a mortal body, dared defy him.
"You act on orders, why take it this far? I’ll say it again, today I am the offering. If you dare, then capture me. But if it delays the Divine Enthronement, can you bear the responsibility?"
