Chapter 540: Negotiation Methods

Watching the members of the Ye family pouring out in full force, Ye Lin's face was filled with a look of agony.

These people were all his beloved friends and family, his own flesh and blood!

Watching Ye Yu and the others charge to the front line without fear of death, even after turning into soul bodies, Ye Lin felt nothing but deep emotion.

As he looked at the army of millions of soul bodies, Po Gui's expression changed for the first time; he had vaguely guessed what Ye Lin intended to do.

"Damn Seventh Divine Marquis, do not underestimate the bond between me and the people of the Sang Kingdom!"

"Furthermore, all my Ye family clansmen have chosen to appear in their heroic spirit forms to assist me at this moment; what do you have to fight me with?"

Ye Lin brandished the Human Emperor Flag, and accompanied by a rolling surge of black smoke, the countless army of soul bodies charged toward all the living beings in the City of God to slaughter them.

"Since I cannot use large-scale lethal skills, I will kill them one by one! I will kill until not a single soul remains in your City of God!" Ye Lin stared straight at Po Gui; he did not believe he couldn't force this guy to talk.

Although the City of God had powerful divine envoys like Si Sui, the former number one Sword Saint of the Sang Kingdom, Ban Muming, was no pushover.

Moreover, after devouring more and more soul bodies, Ban Muming's current strength had even surpassed what he possessed in life.

A Bright Moon Realm divine envoy attempted to block Ban Muming, but with just a single sword strike, Ban Muming unleashed countless sword intents, instantly stripping the opponent of all vitality.

Ban Muming held his long sword high, his face full of satisfaction, while black tears—exclusive to soul bodies—flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"You all say that I, Ban Muming, recognize a thief as my father and am merely a dog for that Ye Lin."

"Today, I will let you see what is so bad about being a dog!"

"Woof! Woof, woof, woof!"

Ban Muming charged toward another divine envoy with his sword; his current sword path had reached a realm of perfection, and even those in the Blazing Sun Realm dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

With the invasion of the soul body army led by Ban Muming, the living beings within the City of God were immediately subjected to a horrific massacre.

As the living beings of the City of God died, the number of soul bodies within the Human Emperor Flag grew ever larger.

With one side waning and the other waxing, the City of God found it impossible to withstand the soul army's offensive.

Moreover, even if they managed to kill Ban Muming and the others, the soul bodies would be fully revived after just a short while.

As long as the Human Emperor Flag remained, and as long as Ye Lin, the flag-bearer, remained, the soul bodies within the Human Emperor Flag would be inexhaustible.

As living beings in the City of God continued to die, clumps of dark, eerie flesh began to crawl out from the corpses.

Ye Lin naturally would not give this flesh a chance to find a new host; he grabbed them and refined them directly.

At first, seeing the living beings of the City of God being slaughtered, Po Gui could still remain calm.

But seeing Ye Lin able to refine that eerie flesh, Po Gui finally could not sit still, his expression changing wildly.

"Stop!"

Po Gui shouted sharply, his face turning from green to white.

"Ye Lin, we think we can talk!"

"Sure, let's talk; I am a person who very much enjoys talking with others."

Ye Lin nodded with a smile, yet he had no intention of letting Ban Muming and the others stop.

Almost every moment, living beings in the City of God were dying.

"You make those soul bodies stop first!" Po Gui said.

"Six, ordering me? Then no talk! I'll just kill everyone in the City of God right now!" Ye Lin turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Po Gui took a deep breath, his chest heaving continuously.

"We can talk again, right? Then tell me, why did you create the City of God and keep pulling people into it?" Ye Lin asked.

"Do you know about the power of faith?" Po Gui said.

Ye Lin frowned.

The power of faith, like destiny, was a force that could neither be seen nor touched.

To this day, no one had ever dared to claim they knew how to utilize the power of faith.

"So the existence of the City of God is to collect the power of faith to worship that so-called God?"

"You can understand it that way." Po Gui nodded with a calm expression.

"What exactly is that so-called God?" Ye Lin asked the question he wanted to know most.

"I have already made concessions; now, you should let those soul bodies stop," Po Gui said coldly.

"Understood, understood."

Ye Lin waved the Human Emperor Flag, and Ban Muming and the others all obediently returned inside the Human Emperor Flag.

In any case, he only said he would stop, not that he wouldn't strike again.

"Can you speak now?"

"The Master... is the greatest, most perfect existence in the world!" A fanatical expression appeared on Po Gui's face as well.

That appearance was no different from the fanatical believers inside the City of God.

Ye Lin felt a chill in his heart; was even a powerful Divine Marquis just a chess piece in the hands of the so-called God?

Judging by Po Gui's reaction, this guy didn't look like a high-ranking member of the God Organization at all, but rather a brainwashed top-tier thug.

This discovery made Ye Lin even more wary of that so-called God.

He could almost be certain that the apocalyptic catastrophe prophesied by Zhuge Qianxing definitely had an inseparable connection to this so-called God.

This speculation caused murderous intent to erupt in Ye Lin's eyes.

The City of God must be destroyed!

That so-called God should have some kind of restriction preventing them from acting personally.

Otherwise, they should have appeared long ago.

And before they appeared, he still had room to maneuver.

Ye Lin brandished the Human Emperor Flag without hesitation, preparing to let the soul army empty the City of God.

Just then, a white light spread from inside the God-Worshiping Tower, quickly enveloping Ye Lin.

Countless white light arrows fell like a rainstorm, killing all the soul bodies in an instant, and Ye Lin himself was pierced into a hedgehog.

"Po Gui, you really are pathetic; dealing with someone who isn't even in the Divine Domain Realm, yet you let them cause such a ruckus for so long."

"If you ruin the Master's plan, you will be beyond redemption even if you die ten thousand times."

A young girl with white hair and white clothes stepped out slowly; unlike the pitch-black Po Gui, this girl's pupils and eyebrows were pure white.

Her entirely white appearance did not give a feeling of holiness, but rather extreme eeriness, as if one were looking at a white mourning hall.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that I have only just awakened and my strength has not yet recovered to its peak, would I have let him escape the God-Worshiping Tower?"

Po Gui snorted unwillingly; the reason he said so much to Ye Lin was just to stall for time.

"If a task isn't done well, it isn't done well; you know the Master doesn't like to hear excuses. I will handle this matter for you; you owe me a favor."

The white-haired girl raised a pair of white eyes, and a terrifyingly extreme mental power fluctuation instantly spread out.

"Guo Qin, what is that woman's background?" Ye Lin's expression was grave; this white-haired girl gave him a feeling even more terrifying than Po Gui.

More importantly, the opponent seemed completely unaffected by the restrictions of the God-Worshiping Tower!

Guo Qin's expression was also wrong at this moment; in the past, when he saw women, there would be no other emotions in his eyes, only the most primitive human wildness.

But now that a white-haired girl was standing there so vividly, there were no evil thoughts in Guo Qin's eyes, only wariness and gravity.

"How could she wake up so quickly? Doesn't that mean the awakening time of the others will also be advanced?"

"What exactly are you talking about?" Ye Lin frowned deeply.

Guo Qin took a deep breath and stated the white-haired girl's identity.

"She is the Sixth Divine Marquis, Zhiyin!"
