SWNOVELXO Chapter 426: Banquet of Giant Beasts
Chapter 426: Banquet of Giant Beasts, the Imminent End, the Soul Ring Living Being Plan, the Sacrifice Ceremony, Preserving the Soul.
Each piece of news was like a bomb, detonating in the brains of the Three Beast Kings.
Having endured the Flame Dragon King's successive critical blows, they fell into a brief silence.
Within the silence, the Three Beast Kings' gazes turned to Quan Yi once more, this time their eyes held not only apprehension but also other, more complex emotions.
Old Turtle was the first to speak to Quan Yi, apologizing, "Please forgive us, we were previously unaware of the situation and offended Your Excellency."
Albatross and Sea Lion also nodded in apology.
The situation was stronger than them; Quan Yi had already become the leader of the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard, and the entire Dragon Lizard Clan was under his command.
Coupled with the aura and strength he displayed, regardless of their thoughts, Quan Yi had already succeeded the Sea Iguana Flame Dragon King as the new leader of the Archipelago.
Seeing the other party soften, Quan Yi finally revealed a smile tinged with goodwill.
"Ignorance is bliss; before, everyone was unaware of my situation, so misunderstandings were only natural.
The Archipelago Four Clans have accumulated a deep friendship over the long years, and I do not wish to damage that.
Therefore, I wish to continue maintaining friendly exchanges and communication with everyone."
If the initial actions were to establish his authority, then this was to display his goodwill.
While ensuring the leading position of the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan, continuing to maintain friendly relations with the other Three Clans was one of Quan Yi's purposes in holding the Heavenly Pool Gathering.
Seeing Quan Yi's smile, the Three Beast Kings felt as if they were basking in a spring breeze, and their tense hearts could not help but relax.
It was only because Quan Yi's previous power was too overwhelming that the sudden reversal caught them somewhat off guard.
"If it is about this matter, then I, on behalf of the Golden Jade Furnace Flame Turtle Clan, agree with Your Excellency to continue maintaining the friendship of the Four Clans."
Old Turtle was the first to express his intention, agreeing with Quan Yi's idea.
Seeing Old Turtle take the lead, the other clans also expressed their agreement with Quan Yi on behalf of their respective clans.
Old Turtle seemed slow, but on some important issues, he could often be one step ahead.
Regardless of strength or wisdom, he was undoubtedly ranked as the leader of the Three Beast Kings.
"Good, good, although our Volcano Archipelago is strong, compared to the Sea Soul Beasts outside, we are still at a disadvantage.
In response to this situation, only by maintaining internal unity can we ensure long-term development.
I assure you all that if you unfortunately encounter unsolvable disasters, you can seek help from the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan. As the Volcano Master, I can lend a hand to you all."
Quan Yi's remarks were undoubtedly another explosive statement.
The relationship between the Volcano Four Clans could only be described as a very loose neighborly relationship.
Holding gatherings with each other was only to maintain a consensus of non-aggression, non-interference, and unified resistance to external forces.
But Quan Yi's statement was clearly intended to move towards a closer relationship.
For a time, the Three Beast Kings' minds were in turmoil, still trying to digest Quan Yi's meaning.
"Everyone doesn't need to worry too much; the assistance I'm talking about is actually nothing much. It's just taking care of things within my and the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan's capabilities.
This assistance comes without a price, but precisely because there is no price, we will directly refuse requests that do not align with the overall interests of the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan and the Archipelago.
I hope everyone is aware of this."
Quan Yi frankly announced to everyone that his assistance could only be considered a safety net.
It wouldn't have any impact normally, but if other clans encountered a life-or-death crisis and sought help from Quan Yi, he might step in to assist.
This promise, like a blank check, actually had no credit guarantee.
However, this promise served as an indirect connection with Quan Yi, making the connection between Quan Yi and the various clans even closer.
With Quan Yi standing behind them, the Soul Beasts of the Volcano Archipelago undoubtedly gained great confidence.
Just as the existence of the Sea Iguana Flame Dragon King deterred countless external forces.
A promise with no obvious benefits but also no harm made the Three Beast Kings somewhat tempted.
"Thank you for Your Excellency's kindness, but the three of us each have our own means, and we can handle the safety of our clans ourselves.
We probably won't need Your Excellency's help."
The Three Beast Kings still harbored some resentment towards Quan Yi in their hearts, so they couldn't fully accept him yet.
Quan Yi wasn't surprised by this, and he nodded calmly, "That's fine too, self-reliance is the way to long-term survival, but my promise will not change because of this.
Alright, that's all the information I wanted to convey. If you all have nothing else to discuss, then this Heavenly Pool Gathering will come to an end.
Oh right, as the host, I have also prepared a banquet, and I hope you can all stay and enjoy it together."
The message that Quan Yi wanted to convey to the other three clans through the gathering had already been fully delivered.
To show his sincerity, Quan Yi held a unique banquet at the foot of the Volcano.
In an open space large enough to accommodate nearly five hundred giant Soul Beasts, all the Soul Beasts sat in a circle, leaving a slightly open circular area in the very center.
Surrounded by a group of giant beasts, Quan Yi took out countless fresh seafood and Sea Soul Beasts from his Blazing Sun Heart to share with all the members.
To satisfy the terrifying appetite of so many Soul Beasts, Quan Yi also put in some effort.
Holding banquets is a human custom; there are no such customs among Soul Beasts and different clans.
Therefore, everyone felt extremely unfamiliar with it.
Looking at the massive amount of seafood pouring out of the small necklace, all the Soul Beasts showed astonished expressions.
"When were so much Delicious Food prepared?"
The playful Sea Lion, smelling the salty and fishy scent that stimulated its taste buds, looked astonished.
Seeing the Sea Lion's round little head showing an astonished expression, Huo Wu couldn't help but chuckle.
She said with a smile, "Are you dumbfounded? This is the Delicious Food that Xiao Yi specially caught by flying to the sea area hundreds of miles away to entertain everyone."
Huo Wu's words made the Three Beast Kings even more shocked.
They carefully examined the mountains of Delicious Food piled up in front of them and found that the Delicious Food placed in front of their respective clans were all their respective preferences, and among them were many ten-thousand-year-level Sea Soul Beasts with powerful cultivation.
What was even more terrifying was that these Soul Beasts were preserved extremely well, with almost no scars, which was obviously not something that the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan could have captured.
In that case, there's only one answer: Quan Yi caught all this food.
After Quan Yi distributed the food, he surveyed the beasts and smiled faintly, "What are you all waiting for? This is all prepared for you."
As he spoke, Quan Yi snapped his fingers, and a small spark emerged from his fingertip, falling into the wooden pile in the center and quickly igniting into a roaring fire.
Illuminated by the firelight, Vermilion Dragon Horns protruded from Quan Yi's forehead. Accompanied by the mental fluctuations emanating from the Dragon Horns sweeping across the banquet, he enthusiastically exclaimed, "I declare the Banquet of Giant Beasts officially begins! Everyone, enjoy yourselves to the fullest!"
Even if they didn't understand human language, they could understand Quan Yi's meaning through the mental fluctuations diffused by the Scarlet Dragon Horns.
The first to erupt in cries were the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan. After expressing their gratitude to Quan Yi, they began to enjoy the Delicious Food.
The members of the other Three Clans all looked at their Beast Kings.
Under the many expectant gazes, the Three Beast Kings said helplessly, "Then we shall accept your kind offer.
Everyone, let's eat together!"
With the Three Beast Kings' approval, the starving beasts burst into cheers and then began to join the ranks of the feasting.
