Jin Yuan sighed helplessly, "Zhou Xuanmen, you are already a True God powerhouse. Don't deliberately say provocative words. State your demands."

Zhou Xuanmen said, "Alright, Elder Jin, you speak straightforwardly, so I won't beat around the bush. I demand that you eight elders descend the mountain together to help us resist the True Gods of the Heavenly Court."

"What?"

Jin Yuan was shocked upon hearing this, "Zhou Xuanmen, don't joke around. The Human Emperor has not awakened. We eight are merely at the True God Level, not True Gods. How can we contend with the True Gods of the Heavenly Court?"

Zhou Xuanmen sneered, "If one can't handle it, then two join forces. If two are insufficient, then three join forces. If three are still not enough, then four join forces."

"You eight are all top-tier beings at the True God Level. Four joining forces should surely be able to handle one True God of the Heavenly Court, right? And eight could deal with two."

"Elder Jin, I've already made my demands. If you eight don't descend the mountain to help us deal with the True Gods of the Heavenly Court, Zun and I will abandon resistance and leave with the Divine Monarch Wu De, allowing the Heavenly Court to attack Floating Sky Mountain."

"When the time comes, we'll see if Elder Jin and the other seven elders can escape alive from the siege of the Heavenly Court."

Jin Yuan's face grew grim, "Zhou Xuanmen, you're threatening me!"

Zhou Xuanmen responded with a cold and hard tone, "Threatening? Indeed, I am threatening you, Elder Jin. Will you accept this threat?"

"Accept it, and lead the other seven elders down the mountain to lend us a hand. Don't accept it, and we'll go our separate ways, abandoning resistance and leaving Floating Sky Mountain to the Heavenly Court."

Jin Yuan was furious but didn't speak for a moment, scrutinizing Zhou Xuanmen.

Zhou Xuanmen also remained silent, just sneering at Jin Yuan.

Jin Yuan suddenly said, "You would not abandon resistance."

Zhou Xuanmen asked with a threatening sneer, "Want to give it a try?"

Jin Yuan fell silent once more. After a long pause, he said, "Fine, protecting the Human world is not solely your responsibility, Zhou Xuanmen. We also bear responsibility. I will lead the seven elders to descend Floating Sky Mountain and help you deal with the True Gods of the Heavenly Court."

"Help us?"

Zhou Xuanmen's expression was unfriendly, "Elder Jin, let me correct you. Dealing with the True Gods of the Heavenly Court is not helping us, but helping yourselves."

"Is it necessary to argue over this triviality?"

Jin Yuan didn't think much of it, but seeing Zhou Xuanmen's persistently unfriendly expression, he reluctantly changed his words, "Fine, according to you, we'll be helping ourselves."

"You go ahead first. I'll discuss with the elders, and then we'll head down the mountain."

Zhou Xuanmen's expression softened, "Then I'll wait for the elders at Twilight Forest Village."

Saying this, his Divine Sense began to leave the divine image.

"Zhou Xuanmen, wait," Jin Yuan suddenly stopped Zhou Xuanmen.

Zhou Xuanmen's Divine Sense paused, looking at Jin Yuan.

Jin Yuan said, "If you want us to descend the mountain, just say so. Why resort to threats first?"

If I didn't resort to threats first, would you come down the mountain?

Zhou Xuanmen sneered but didn't answer Jin Yuan's question, and his Divine Sense directly left the divine image.

"How did the discussion go?"

Zun had been watching Zhou Xuanmen. When he saw Zhou Xuanmen's Divine Sense return, he immediately inquired.

Zhou Xuanmen said, "I finally persuaded the old codgers, Jin Yuan promised to lead the other seven codgers down the mountain to help us resist the True Gods of the Heavenly Court."

"The old codgers decided to descend the mountain?"

Zun was a bit surprised but then thought of something, looking at Zhou Xuanmen with curiosity, "Old Zhou, your strategy, does it involve the old codgers? Do you think with the addition of their group, we could have the ability to contend with the Heavenly Court?"

"Why? Do you think it's impossible?"

Zhou Xuanmen smiled at Zun, "Eight old codgers, each at the True God Level. Two joining forces are enough to deal with one True God of the Heavenly Court. Eight can handle four."

"With the three of us added, we can deal with seven True Gods of the Heavenly Court in total."

"How many True Gods of the Heavenly Court descended earlier, five? Six? Or seven? Five, six, seven, including Meng Xuantong, Yu Tong, and Yuan Men, at most just ten people."

"If a few go missing, a few accidentally fall to their deaths, the number able to arrive here alive might be less than seven."

"For us, dealing with these people is a breeze."

Is that how the calculation is done?

Zun listened, sweat broke on his forehead, annoyed.

He glared at Zhou Xuanmen, this Old Zhou must have some arrangement, or he wouldn't behave like this now.

Divine Monarch Wu De stood aside, chuckling, with no intention to participate in the dialogue from start to finish.

He merely promised to take action for the human world three times. He never said he would live and die with the human world. Thus for him, whether the human world wins or loses doesn't affect him much.

"Old Zhou, what are your plans next?"

Zun looked at Zhou Xuanmen again.

Zhou Xuanmen said confidently, "Welcome Xiao Mu."

Zun was taken aback, "Welcome Xiao Mu?"

Zhou Xuanmen nodded solemnly, "Yes, welcome Xiao Mu out of seclusion. Xiao Mu has obtained the Life and Death Seal, a treasure coveted by the Heavenly Court, involving the position held by the Ancestor of Life and Death. How could they allow it to fall into our hands in the Human world?"

"The Heavenly Court will surely send True Gods to intercept and seize the Life and Death Seal when Xiao Mu emerges."

"Therefore, we go to welcome Xiao Mu and rescue him."

"Xiao Mu has indeed obtained the Life and Death Seal?"

Zun was overjoyed.
