Chapter 3266 Argument

Everyone stared at Zen. Regardless of which race they belonged to, all of them had fear in their eyes.

The only exception was the Ear Mouse race, whose members let out sighs of relief. It seemed that the Soul of Light named Zen was right. He was this corporeal body's spokesperson.

One of the mice squeaked. "You are finally here!"

Three Ear Mice came up to Zen with an air of great respect and deference. It was their first time to see Zen's physical body.

Zen, of course, knew that they had been waiting for him, but he didn't want to talk about opening the door right now. "We'll discuss this later," he said.

He walked past the mice and towards the disciples of the Oneness Sky Palace. Grimly he asked them, "Which races attacked you just now?"

At Zen's words, many warriors in the crowd looked shocked and nervous.

"The Bearing race, the Divine Farmer race, the Sun Crow race and the New Moon race," answered Chaim in a cautious tone.

Zen nodded and turned to the crowd. His eyes swept over the warriors and landed on a flock of bird-shaped Souls of Light, belonging to the Sun Crow race. Coldly he said to them, "Don't even think about exploring the Grand Sky Temple. I give you a choice. Leave the Other Shore now, or I will kill you."

At Zen's ultimatum, the Sun Crows shrank back and drew closer to each other.

While they felt fear at Zen's words, they were hesitant to leave right away. They wanted to see how the situation would develop. Even if the worst happened, they believed that they could escape from the Other Shore at any time.

The members of the Bearing race were thinking along similar lines. They stood a safe distance from Zen, observing him as he spoke, and they refused to give up on the chance that they might still find a way to explore the Grand Sky Temple. After all, they had already handed in their soul pills.

It was different if the Ear Mice were on Zen's side.

After they entered the Grand Sky Temple, they wouldn't be able to leave the Other Shore. By then, they would have no choice but to let their souls be slaughtered by him.

A warrior of the Divine Farmer race spoke up. "Are you willing to listen to the reason? The Bearing race asked us to help, and our only choice was to fight with them. Incidentally, not a single disciple from the Oneness Sky Palace was killed by us. Will you deny our entry just because we fought alongside our allies?"

"It was not your only choice. You could have refused to fight," Zen said, sneering at the warrior. "Since you chose to follow the Bearing race, you must pay the price. That's not the first time you've played such a trick. You also allied with each other to kill the Nine Li race. There are consequences for your actions."

The destruction of a superpower was a matter of great importance even in the Source World. All the races present were familiar with the history of the Bearing race and the Divine Farmer race. Their coordinated efforts had led to t

Farmer race, the Sun Crow race and the New Moon race are forbidden to enter. So are those who have not handed out their soul pills and gotten their soul marks. Everyone else, please gather in front of the Grand Sky Temple," said an Ear Mouse in a high-pitched voice.

A group of ten Ear Mice stood nearby, holding watering cans. They sprayed out thin, pale blue liquid that spread out and covered the ground completely.

The blue liquid was the Soul Interdicting Water. Like the Soul Restraining Sand of the Oneness Sky Palace and the Soul Binding Thread of the Bearing race, it was intended to prevent Souls of Light from leaving the Other Shore.

After the ground had been covered with the Soul Interdicting Water, the Ear Mice continued to put some restrictions on it. The whole Grand Sky Temple was now a temporary impasse, and no Souls of Light would dare to enter without permission.

One of the members of the New Moon race stepped up to the Ear Mice. "Hey! If you won't let us enter the Grand Sky Temple, then return our soul pills to us. We've already paid and we want them back," he said forcefully.

The Ear Mice squeaked, looking upset. The soul pills were already in their possession and it was very difficult to think of returning them.

But they couldn't renege on their debt in front of so many races, human and non-human.

The Ear Mice gathered and chattered, looking for a loophole. Finally an Ear Mouse turned to the man who had asked for their soul pills. "The members of the four races who have paid soul pills are free to try and enter the temple. But remember! We are not responsible for the consequences!"

The Ear Mouse rolled its eyes meaningfully towards Zen, who stood at the gate of the Grand Sky Temple, emanating an intimidating and powerful aura.

Because they stood a safe distance from Zen, the four races barred from entering the temple dared to argue with the Ear Mice. But none of them dared to move closer to the Grand Sky Temple.
