Chapter 1647

Speaking of Luo Jiuyou, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor also looked around; given this kid's temperament, when Fàn diǎn arrived, he shouldn't fail to show his face.

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing shook his head; he himself hadn't seen Luo Jiuyou for several days either.

Seeing this, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor picked up a bite with his chopsticks, enjoyed eating it, then took a nice sip of wine, and only then spoke unhurriedly.

So this matter still relies on you, kid; I can at most just echo a few words from the side.

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor can't help with this matter either, and his involvement wouldn't mean much.

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded; indeed, that's the case.

A day passed quickly; after dinner, Ye Zhangqing picked up the specially prepared food and drink, intending to personally visit the Nether Clan Old Ancestor.

Luo Jiuyou said she'd take care of it, but after all these days, there's still not a word of news.

At first they could still see each other, but these past few days, they haven't even seen a person.

All the way to the Dong Fu where the Nether Clan people reside, Ye Zhangqing had also become quite familiar with the many Nether Clan experts.

After the report, a Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign expert came to the entrance of the Dong Fu, saw Ye Zhangqing, and grinned.

"Ye Zhangqing, kid, are you here to see the young master? These past few days he might not be able to see you."

Facing Ye Zhangqing, this Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign expert didn't hide anything, immediately recounting how Luo Jiuyou had been repeatedly beaten up by the Nether Clan Old Ancestor.

After hearing the Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign's words and learning what had happened these past few days, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He wondered why he hadn't seen Luo Jiuyou these past few days; turns out she was beaten so badly she couldn't get out of bed, no wonder she didn't even come to eat.

Nodding, Ye Zhangqing also explained his purpose.

"Senior, I've come this time to request an audience with the Nether Clan Old Ancestor."

Since Luo Jiuyou's side is unreliable, as the Eternal Night Old Ancestor said, Ye Zhangqing had no choice but to go himself.

No matter what, let's first meet the Nether Clan Old Ancestor and then talk.

Seeing the lunchbox Ye Zhangqing was carrying, this Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign expert instantly guessed his purpose.

It was merely because of the alliance matter; this Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign expert didn't obstruct, only saying he needed to inform the Old Ancestor first and see what the Old Ancestor thought.

Ye Zhangqing naturally had no objection to this, but after speaking, the Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign expert kindly reminded him.

"Ye Zhangqing, kid, you need to be mentally prepared for the alliance matter; the Old Ancestor seems unwilling."

Out of respect for Ye Zhangqing, this Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign expert beforehand revealed the Old Ancestor's attitude.

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded and replied.

"Thank you, senior; I'll just give it a try. As for whether it succeeds or not, that's not up to me; everything is up to fate."

"If you're mentally prepared, that's enough; I'll go inform the Old Ancestor first."

Saying that, the Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign expert let Ye Zhangqing enter the Dong Fu, while he himself went to inform the Old Ancestor.

Upon entering the Dong Fu and seeing the other Nether Clan experts, Ye Zhangqing also brought out the food and drink he had prepared in advance.

Although they had already eaten dinner, faced with Ye Zhangqing's food and drink, they naturally wouldn't refuse.

This stuff is hardly enough, but Ye Zhangqing also has social graces down pat.

Although the alliance matter ultimately still needs the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's nod, when facing the other Nether Clan experts, one still needs to greet them properly.

If you only care about the Nether Clan Old Ancestor and ignore the others, that shows you really don't understand social graces.

Ye Zhangqing naturally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing specially bring their food and fine wine, all the Nether Clan experts grinned from ear to ear.

Fine wine and good dishes—tonight we must enjoy them properly.

Moreover, this fine wine was taken by Ye Zhangqing from Hong Zun's Dong Fu; it's genuine good wine.

Hong Zun is currently staying on an uninhabited island in the Endless Sea; his heavenly tribulation for breaking through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm hasn't fallen yet, which is truly strange.

Upon learning Ye Zhangqing wanted his treasured fine wine, although he felt reluctant, he ultimately agreed.

Just as Ye Zhangqing was chatting idly with the Nether Clan experts, the Emperor Sovereign expert who had left earlier to inform the Old Ancestor returned.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing produce so many delicacies, he smiled and said.

"Ye Zhangqing, kid, come with me; the Old Ancestor has agreed to see you."

"Thank you for the trouble, senior."

"No need to be polite with me; let's go."

Saying that, he led Ye Zhangqing to the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's residence; before leaving, he also glanced at the others and glared, saying.

"You guys leave some for me; don't eat it all."

"Don't worry, there's plenty of this dish."

Under the guidance of that Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign expert, Ye Zhangqing made his way all the way to the outskirts of the small courtyard where the Nether Clan Old Ancestor resides.

Standing outside the courtyard, the Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign expert gestured for Ye Zhangqing to go in himself; the Old Ancestor was already waiting.

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing hesitated no more and stepped into the courtyard.

Indeed, in the courtyard he saw the Nether Clan Old Ancestor; upon seeing Ye Zhangqing arrive, the Old Ancestor said without changing expression.

"Sit."

Indicating for Ye Zhangqing to sit, Ye Zhangqing also conscientiously laid out the prepared food and fine wine one by one on the stone table in the courtyard.

Looking at this table of delicious dishes, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor showed no change.

Although the aroma was truly fragrant, far more so than the dry rations he'd eaten before, after all he was an Ancestor-level existence, so he still had that composure.

Gazing intently at Ye Zhangqing, before he could speak, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor spoke first.

"I know your purpose, Old Man speaking frankly: I have no intention of forming an alliance with your Dao Yi Shengdi."

"Why that old ghost Eternal Night agreed, I don't care, but given the current situation, allying with your Dao Yi Shengdi is, in my view, more harmful than beneficial."

"Although I admit your Dao Yi Shengdi certainly has decent potential, having just come into contact with the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, you're already able to show this; moreover, your ranking on the Tian Dao Ancient Stele is also not bad, and your Luck Power is quite strong."

"But after all is said and done, potential remains potential and cannot represent strength; how your Dao Yi Shengdi's situation is now, I need not spell it out."

"The demon clan, the human imperial palace, none are easy to deal with; once you ally with the Dao Yi Shengdi, that would mean my Nether Clan would have to face these two major forces."

"Your Dao Yi Shengdi currently has no Ancestral Realm expert holding the fort, so I don't think highly of this alliance."

"Moreover, the number of Ancestral Realm experts in your Dao Yi Shengdi is also too low."

"I have learned that the Shèngzhǔ of your Dao Yi Shengdi seems not to have broken through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm."

"Even the Shèngzhǔ is only at the Great Emperor cultivation level; the Nether Clan Old Ancestor feels that your Dao Yi Shengdi still needs a long time to develop."

"And during this period, anything could happen; there is too much uncertainty."

"Right off the bat, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor laid things out plainly, and Ye Zhangqing didn't expect the Nether Clan Old Ancestor to be so straightforward."

"It's like as soon as he spoke, he blocked his own path, leaving him utterly unable to continue."
