Sighing with emotion, their voice full of feeling.
Yang Kai thought to himself that no one asked for your empathy…
But looking at it from a different perspective, Mo Naye had actually done a reasonably decent job over the years handling the problems Yang Kai brought. If any other Mo Race being had been in charge, the results would have been far worse.
Upon hearing these words, the Domain Lords who had come from the Primordial Beginning Great Restriction were all stunned. Their own Pseudo King Lord had this kind of attitude toward the human killing star? It was truly beyond their expectations.
But considering this man's strength and his past deeds, they could more or less understand why Mo Naye had chosen to swallow his pride and compromise.
After a moment of silence, that Domain Lord began relaying Mo Naye's words once more: "Things have reached this point, and this matter ought to come to some conclusion."
Yang Kai said: "What kind of conclusion are you looking for?"
"The flaw in the Primordial Beginning Great Restriction has been repaired. No more Domain Lords will be able to walk out of it. And many of the Domain Lords who previously escaped from it have already been killed by Brother Yang. What I'm proposing is that we simply let this matter end here — Brother Yang stops ambushing and killing our Mo Race Domain Lords, the Mo Race will let bygones be bygones regarding everything that happened before, and the thirty percent of resources we promised Brother Yang will still be honored as agreed. What does Brother Yang think?"
Yang Kai's expression shifted slightly. He had to admit, Mo Naye was making an enormous concession. Counting the Domain Lords he had just killed, the total number that had fallen to his hand over the years was approaching four hundred.
That was four hundred Innate Domain Lords — not Lords, and certainly not cannon fodder. Even putting those four hundred Domain Lords to work forging Pseudo King Lords, they could have produced twenty or thirty of them. The Mo Race was hardly lacking in King Lord-level Mo Nests at this point.
For Mo Naye to simply pretend such devastating losses had never happened — that was indeed a tremendous show of sincerity.
But if he considered the matter from another angle, the fact that Mo Naye would rather accept such catastrophic losses if it meant Yang Kai would stop, and had now dispatched two hundred Domain Lords to hunt him down, meant the Mo Race still had even more Innate Domain Lords on the way.
If he didn't settle things here today, the Mo Race might suffer even greater losses!
The only way to make an enemy willingly swallow bitter medicine was if an even bigger catastrophe awaited them.
His thoughts racing, Yang Kai quickly grasped the situation and replied with a chuckle: "Very well! Since Mo Naye is so sincere and earnest, how could Yang refuse to oblige? Let it be as you say."
That Domain Lord promptly answered: "Brother Yang truly sees the bigger picture. In that case, I ask that Brother Yang remain here for twenty years. Brother Yang can rest assured — these Domain Lords will stay here with you. If you don't make a move against them, they won't fight back. Additionally, I can guarantee that neither the King Lord nor I myself will appear within the range of Brother Yang's perception."
He knew that fellow Mo Naye wouldn't come without contingencies. Verbal agreements carried no guarantees, and even if Mo Naye wanted Yang Kai to swear some oath, there was no way to truly trust it. If he wanted Yang Kai to genuinely stop hunting Domain Lords, the best approach was naturally to keep him pinned down here.
Twenty years would be more than enough time for the last batch of Domain Lords emerging from the Primordial Beginning Great Restriction to safely reach Return Pass.
Telling Yang Kai that neither he nor King Lord Mo Yu would appear within his perception range was meant to put Yang Kai at ease, so as not to arouse any suspicion.
Yang Kai smiled faintly: "Mo Naye, since I've agreed to this matter, I won't go back on my word. You place too little trust in me."
"It's not that I don't trust Brother Yang — it's just that the stakes are too high, and we have no choice but to be cautious. Please forgive us, Brother Yang."
Yang Kai nodded in understanding and glanced around. Every Innate Domain Lord who caught his eye wore a grave expression, their hearts tense with vigilance.
"If I insist on leaving, these Domain Lords won't be able to stop me!"
That Domain Lord holding the small Mo Nest let out a long sigh, mimicking Mo Naye's helplessness with perfect fidelity: "Why must it be this way, Brother Yang? Our race has already made sufficient concessions!"
To pretend that so many killed Domain Lords had never happened — the Mo Race had retreated again and again until there was nowhere left to retreat. Admittedly, this was a product of the situation; even if Mo Naye wanted revenge, he was powerless to achieve it, and could only resort to this desperate measure.
Yang Kai lowered his eyelids slightly and said coolly: "Some things I can discuss with you at length, but others are simply not up for discussion."
Mo Naye was silent for a good long while before the Domain Lord relayed his words: "Then tell me, Brother Yang — can you really bear to leave just like this?"
Yang Kai burst out laughing immediately: "You know me well, Mo Naye! The day I advance to the Ninth Order, I shall offer your head as tribute to the joy in my heart!"
Of course he couldn't bear to leave. With a hundred and fifty Innate Domain Lords right here, how could he possibly walk away without cutting loose? Rather than waste time and energy ambushing scattered Domain Lords one by one, he might as well make the most of this opportunity and have a proper brawl.
That was the true essence of Mo Naye's scheme this time.
