Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 1290: The Breaking Point

Prince Ignis’Kai leaned back in his chair, his emerald eyes flashing with a ruthless light. "So, the Crimson Moon Dynasty has decided to go to war with us? If so, then let’s fight. The Scaldriths Clan has never been afraid."

"Is that your stance as well?" The Crimson Snake Emperor turned to Prince Sol’Rae and Prince Var’Thal.

"That depends on your royal family’s response. The deaths of royal clan members cannot go unanswered. If you, Crimson Snake Emperor, provide a resolution, this matter can be settled, and the negotiations can continue. Isn’t that in everyone’s best interest?" Prince Sol’Rae said with a chuckle.

The Crimson Snake Emperor replied indifferently, "Oh? And what kind of resolution are you asking for?"

Prince Var’Thal smirked. "It’s simple—hand over the two responsible to Prince Ignis’Kai, and this matter will be resolved. Then, we can continue the negotiations smoothly."

Everyone present could see the blatant provocation from the three alien royals.

Rafael and Duan Yao’s eyes grew colder, their bodies tensing.

They couldn’t be sure whether the Crimson Moon Dynasty would stand by them, so they had to be ready at all times.

"You probably don’t even believe your own words—do you think we would?" the Crimson Snake Emperor said expressionlessly.

A subtle glint flickered in the eyes of the three alien princes.

This Crimson Snake Emperor... it seemed he was tempted.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked such a question.

As they had expected—when faced with the lure of negotiation concessions and the chance to eliminate a rival, how could the Crimson Moon Dynasty Royal Family not be tempted?

"We are not human. When we make a promise, we see it through," Prince Var’Thal said, narrowing his eyes.

The envoys from the other seven star systems watched the Crimson Snake Emperor’s silence with surprise.

Could they have misread the situation?

Was the Crimson Snake Emperor really about to turn against the Erythar Star System?

That day, they had all witnessed the two cultivators’ display of power in the palace.

They couldn’t believe the Crimson Snake Emperor was unaware of it.

If he handed over the people from the Erythar Star System to the aliens now, it would mean making enemies of those two cultivators.

The Crimson Snake Emperor did waver for a moment, but he knew one thing for certain—aliens could not be trusted.

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from outside.

The captain of the royal guards entered, requesting to report an urgent matter.

The Crimson Snake Emperor beckoned him forward, and the guard captain immediately approached the throne.

A barrier set up by the Second Elder prevented anyone from overhearing or seeing their conversation.

The others could only watch as they exchanged a few words, but they couldn’t hear what was being said.

Moments later, the Crimson Snake Emperor dismissed the captain and turned to the three alien princes with a smile.

"I will never agree to your request. The Erythar Star System is not only our ally—it is our kin. Prince Ignis’Kai, if I demanded that you hand over your own subordinates because they had killed many humans, would you comply?"

The sudden shift in the Crimson Snake Emperor’s attitude caught everyone off guard.

He was now openly defending the Erythar Star System.

What had that royal guard just told him that made him suddenly turn against the Scaldriths Clan’s prince?

"What do you think happened?" Duan Yao quietly transmitted a message to Rafael.

"It must be because of Ms. Amalia and Mr. Kenny. They must have done something outside that made the Crimson Snake Emperor change his mind," Rafael replied with absolute confidence.

"I think so too. But even without that, this Crimson Snake Emperor probably wouldn’t have agreed anyway."

"How do you know what he’s thinking?" Rafael asked, displeased.

Was this guy seriously siding with the Crimson Moon Dynasty?

Duan Yao rolled his eyes. "Isn’t it obvious? Can you trust the words of aliens? Do you really think they would make a concession in negotiations just because they said so? And besides, the two Immortals’ power is right there for all to see. We also have cosmic battleship—one blast from them, and Planet Omicron might not turn to dust in the universe, but it would suffer catastrophic damage. No matter how you look at it, the result is the same."

At that moment, Prince Ignis’Kai’s face darkened. "So, our deal is off?"

"Did we ever make a deal?" The Crimson Snake Emperor smiled calmly.

"It seems there is nothing more to discuss." Prince Ignis’Kai stood up, his gaze cold and menacing. "Today, the dignity of the Scaldriths Clan will not be trampled by mere humans!"

As his words echoed, furious shouts erupted from outside.

The Second Elder who is seated beside the Crimson Snake Emperor, instantly vanished from his spot and appeared at the entrance, clashing with a powerful warrior from the Scaldriths Clan.

A powerful surge of energy swept through the negotiation hall, sending cups flying and shattering them across the floor.

Behind Prince Ignis’Kai, three guards instantly transformed into their true forms and lunged toward Rafael and Duan Yao.

"Outrageous!" The Crimson Snake Emperor roared in fury.

These aliens had completely disregarded him.

A large force of troops stormed into the hall from all directions.

"Your Highness," Sol’Rae and Prince Var’Thal’s subordinates whispered in their ears, awaiting orders.

The two princes chuckled. "Go ahead. The Erythar Star System and the Pleiades Star System are kin, and are we not all from the same universe? It is only right to shield our allied friends from their powerful foes."

"Yes, Your Highness."

As soon as the words fell, two immense auras erupted and shot out from the hall.

In an instant, they intercepted Pleiadian Ascendancy’s Second Elder and the other powerful cultivator who had charged forward.

Due to the previous attack by the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth, most of Pleiadian Ascendancy’s top cultivators had already been deployed elsewhere, leaving only a few of them stationed at the royal palace.
