Chapter 3

At this moment, Shu Yuanzhou of the Demon Clan stepped forward, clasped his hands, and bowed, saying, "Lord Ye Dan, please calm down. Our Demon Clan was deceived by the demon Fan Gao. It is too late for us to regret now, and we dare not invade the Holy Dao Realm. I, Shu Yuanzhou, am willing to bear all of Lord Ye Dan's anger. Please, Lord Ye Dan, show mercy. Although Fan Gao deserved his fate, what he said was true. Our void world is just a small part of the countless worlds. We indeed should not fight among ourselves."

Ye Mo understood Shu Yuanzhou's meaning. His plea for mercy was similar to Fan Gao's, but Fan Gao had been the one to speak out.

The people around him looked down on Shu Yuanzhou. When he arrived, he was full of arrogance, but now, seeing Ye Mo's power, he was immediately afraid. However, thinking of Ye Mo's strength, everyone shuddered. Ye Mo's power was almost beyond belief. Even if millions of Immortals came here, they would only be fodder.

Seeing Ye Mo remain silent, Shu Yuanzhou suddenly said loudly, "I swear by the Heavenly Dao that the Demon Clan will never again have any designs on the human race or the Holy Dao Sect. If I break this oath, the Demon Clan will be destroyed."

After saying this, Shu Yuanzhou continued, "To compensate for the losses of the human race in the Holy Dao Realm, the Demon Clan is willing to offer a hundred top-grade divine spirit veins, a thousand high-grade divine spirit veins, ten thousand medium-grade divine spirit veins, and five hundred billion divine crystals. We are also willing to offer a million divine spirit herbs, a million tenth-grade immortal materials, and a hundred Dao fruits."

Everyone who heard Shu Yuanzhou's words drew a sharp breath. Even if all the Immortals of the Demon Clan were destroyed, it might not be possible to gather so many resources. Shu Yuanzhou's generosity was such that the items he offered could establish a small race.

After gaining new insights into the Dao, Ye Mo had never intended to destroy all the Immortals of the Demon Clan, let alone the entire Demon Clan.

The vast void, with countless years of history, had produced many brilliant and talented Holy Emperors. But no matter how invincible they were, no matter how they swept through the void, they all eventually disappeared into the river of time. It was rare to hear of someone destroying an entire race. Perhaps at this level, they already understood that the universe was not limited to their world. What they did not know did not mean it did not exist.

Ye Mo nodded at Shu Yuanzhou but did not speak.

Shu Yuanzhou immediately understood Ye Mo's meaning and bowed in surprise, then stepped back. With a wave of his hand, all the Demon Clan warships withdrew. Even though they did not leave, the dense formation of Immortal warships instantly became empty.

Ao Kui sighed. He knew that Ye Mo now had the power to destroy the Dragon Clan. His main purpose in coming was not to destroy the Holy Dao Realm, but to force Ye Mo to reveal the whereabouts of Ao Xi.

"Lord Ye Dan, Ao Kui of the Dragon Clan greets you. I acted rashly by mobilizing the Dragon Clan's Immortal warships. I am willing to offer the same amount of resources as the Demon Clan to compensate the Holy Dao Realm. I also promise never to invade the human race of the Holy Dao Realm. Please, Lord Ye Dan, show your great mercy," Ao Kui's voice was old and hoarse.

When he finished speaking, he was deeply moved. When Ye Mo went to the Dragon Clan to congratulate Ao Xi on his grand ceremony, Ao Kui had even thought of making Ye Mo a son-in-law of the Dragon Clan. How long had it been since then? The Lord Ye Dan who once had to flee from the Dragon Clan was now a being who could sweep through the entire void.

Ye Mo glanced at Ao Kui and said calmly, "I did not kill Ao Xi."

"What?" Ao Kui suddenly looked up, shocked. He did not think Ye Mo was lying. With Ye Mo's cultivation, he could destroy the entire Dragon Clan. If he said he did not kill Ao Xi, then he really did not. Ye Mo would not lie about such a thing.

When Ao Kui realized that Ye Mo truly did not kill Ao Xi, he showed regret and bowed, saying, "I have practiced for countless years, yet I was deceived by Fan Gao. Thank you, Lord Ye Dan, for your magnanimity. The Dragon Clan's compensation will be sent soon. I will step back now."

Ao Kui immediately stepped back, and the Dragon Clan warships he brought quickly withdrew from the formation, standing far away like the Demon Clan. He did not ask who killed Ao Xi; since Ye Mo did not say, he should not ask.

With the Demon Clan and the Dragon Clan withdrawing from the millions of Immortal troops, the dense formation was already half empty.

The Demon Clan did not have a Primordial Holy Emperor, and the few Dao Yuan Holy Emperors were panicked. They neither dared to leave nor to beg for mercy from Ye Mo.

Tang Conghan had reached the level of a Primordial Holy Emperor. Although her perception was not as clear as Ye Mo's, she vaguely understood that the Primordial level was not the ultimate. Beyond this void world, there should be a larger world. From Ye Mo's tone, she could tell that he did not intend to annihilate everyone, but only wanted to secure some compensation resources for the human race.

With the Demon Clan and the Dragon Clan gone, the Demon Clan and the Dragon Clan had no leader. As a member of the Demon Clan, she stepped forward and clasped her hands, saying, "Lord Ye Dan, apart from Fan Gao's ambition, the other members of the Demon Clan had no intention of attacking the Holy Dao Sect. I suggest that the Demon Clan also offer the same compensation and withdraw their warships."

The Demon Clan had no leader, and now that Tang Conghan spoke up for them, the few Dao Yuan Holy Emperors of the Demon Clan quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Our Demon Clan is willing to pay the price for our rash actions and follow the arrangements of Saint Lady Tang Conghan. We swear never to invade the human race of the Holy Dao Realm and are willing to compensate for the losses of the Holy Dao Realm."

Even if the Holy Dao Realm had not suffered any losses, the Demon Clan's Dao Yuan Holy Emperors did not dare to say so.

Ye Mo nodded and said, "Tang Xianyou's words are reasonable. The Demon Clan should follow her suggestions. Have the Sea Clan arrived?"

The few Demon Clan Dao Yuan Holy Emperors were overjoyed upon hearing Ye Mo's words and quickly thanked him before withdrawing.

With Ye Mo's terrifying ability to instantly kill a Primordial Holy Emperor, the millions of Immortal troops of the Demon Clan were nothing to him. Now that Ye Mo had shown such magnanimity, if they did not retreat, they would be courting death.

When Ye Mo asked about the Sea Clan, everyone around him trembled. If there was any race that had the deepest enmity with the human race, it was the Sea Clan. Neither the Demon Clan, the Dragon Clan, nor the Demon Clan had ever truly invaded the human race. The Sea Clan, however, had sent warships to invade the Holy Dao Realm many years ago. Now that Ye Mo was asking about the Sea Clan, it seemed he was settling old scores.

Everyone who had not left automatically made way, leaving the Sea Clan warships. Even the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Dragon Clan were planning to offer compensation, and the smaller races were also preparing to compensate and withdrew.

The Sea Clan was singled out, and Ye Mo noticed that the Sea Clan had sent fewer than a million Immortals. Given the long-standing conflicts between the Sea Clan and the human race, they should have sent the most. Why were there so few?

"Jiao Pu greets Lord Ye Dan," a Sea Clan Dao Yuan Holy Emperor stepped forward, his voice steady, but Ye Mo could still hear the panic in his tone.

"You were hit by me and lost half your body, yet you are still alive. You must be quite resilient," Ye Mo recognized Jiao Pu at first glance.

"Our Sea Clan is willing to follow the example of the Demon Clan and the Dragon Clan..." Jiao Pu tried to maintain his composure, but his voice still trembled.

Ye Mo said coldly, "Other races can withdraw, but the Sea Clan cannot. The Holy Dao Realm is not a place for anyone to come and go as they please. The Sea Clan killed countless Immortals of the Holy Dao Realm. I, Ye Mo, do not demand interest. Today, I will demand the original price. Luo Qinghe..."

"Lord, Qinghe is here," Luo Qinghe could not contain his excitement. He knew his master was incredibly powerful, but he never imagined he would be so powerful, instantly killing a Primordial Holy Emperor and suppressing the Immortal troops of multiple races. This level of power was beyond words.

Ye Mo glanced at the millions of human Immortal troops behind Luo Qinghe and Qin Xuanji and nodded, saying, "When the Sea Clan invaded the Holy Dao Realm, you resisted them. Today, you will resist them again. The Holy Dao Realm has not been revitalized for long, but it is not a place for anyone to bully. The human race of the Holy Dao Realm does not invade any race, but no race can bully us."

"Qinghe understands," Luo Qinghe said excitedly. No one cared more about this century-long battle than he did. He had been planning this battle all the time. The Immortal troops organized by the Holy Dao Realm were far more cohesive than the scattered forces of the past. Over the years, he had been making various efforts to deal with this alien invasion. Today, the battle had finally come, and it was far better than he had expected.
