Deities: Starting From Goblins Chapter 1269

Chapter 1269: Chapter 698: Burning Heaven_2 Chapter 1269: Chapter 698: Burning Heaven_2 Sheron Perri sneered at the words, the corner of his mouth curling up in a cold smile. He waved his hand, showing utter indifference, “You needn't worry about us, Elder. We are strong and certainly have ways to deal with it. Moreover, you lost to Logan before. If we were to cooperate with you, who knows, we might end up in an even worse state!” His tone was full of provocation, clearly showing no fondness for Elder Talon Skyler.

Elder Talon Skyler's expression darkened slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He was well aware of the enmity between him and Sheron Perri, and he knew that this young man had always disliked him. However, he didn't care much about these matters; what he was more concerned with was how to successfully enter the Spirit World and obtain the Bodhi Tree.

“Sheron Perri, don't go too far. I lost to Logan before simply because I was careless. Moreover, do you even know what the Spirit World is like? It's filled with the unknown and danger. Without our help, you're just marching to your death,” Elder Talon Skyler said in a deep and powerful voice, trying to persuade Sheron Perri.

However, Sheron Perri was not buying it. He scoffed and said, “Elder Talon Skyler, who do you think you are? You are nothing but someone who bullies others based on his status, acting all high and mighty. Do you think I don't know your true colors? You're just a wolf in sheep's clothing, a complete hypocrite!”

Sheron Perri's words were filled with anger and dissatisfaction; he had long been unable to stand Elder Talon Skyler's behavior. Back when he was just a disciple in the Sect, he had witnessed firsthand how Elder Talon Skyler had bullied others and treated those disciples with lower Cultivation Levels. These memories were deeply buried in his heart, fueling his unshakable resentment towards Elder Talon Skyler.

Hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected Sheron Perri to expose his true nature so bluntly. However, he didn't lash out but instead took a deep breath, trying to quell the anger inside him.

“Sheron Perri, don't overdo it. I admit, I've done some things wrong in the past. But that doesn't mean I'm a hypocrite. I've come to seek cooperation with you sincerely. I hope we can enter the Spirit World together and obtain the Bodhi Tree. It would be to everyone's benefit,” Elder Talon Skyler said, his voice carrying a trace of sincerity, attempting to sway Sheron Perri.

Yet, Sheron Perri remained unmoved. He gave Elder Talon Skyler a cold glance and then said, “Elder Talon Skyler, do you think I would believe your lies? You've already deceived us once, do you think you can deceive us again? I tell you, I will never cooperate with you!”

After speaking, Sheron Perri turned to leave. However, just then, Elder Talon Skyler suddenly made a move and grabbed his wrist.

“Sheron Perri, don't refuse the wine only to be forced to drink a forfeit! I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to cooperate with me or not?” Elder Talon Skyler's voice carried a hint of threat, clearly losing his patience.

Seeing this, Sheron Perri's heart tightened. He knew that Elder Talon Skyler's power was unfathomable, and if he truly initiated a fight, it would be difficult for him to resist. However, he didn't want to submit just like that. So, he took a deep breath and tried to break free from Elder Talon Skyler's grip.

“Elder Talon Skyler, let go of me! I won't cooperate with you!” Sheron Perri's voice was filled with determination and resoluteness.

However, Elder Talon Skyler did not release him. He held onto Sheron Perri's wrist tightly, his tone icy as he said, “Sheron Perri, don't think I wouldn't dare to lay a finger on you. I'm telling you, if I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as squashing an ant.”

After speaking, Elder Talon Skyler suddenly exerted force on his hand. Sheron Perri felt a surge of intense pain, as if his wrist were about to be crushed. He couldn't help but cry out in pain, while he grabbed Elder Talon Skyler's wrist, his tone icy as he warned, “Elder Talon Skyler, I'm warning you, don't push me!”

Just then, Logan suddenly stepped forward. He had been quietly observing the dispute between the two men, and finally, he couldn't hold back any longer, “Elder Talon Skyler, release Sheron Perri. Our cooperation should be built on mutual trust. If you keep threatening him like this, then our cooperation is over.”

Logan's voice carried an undeniable authority, causing Elder Talon Skyler to involuntarily release his grip. He turned his head to look at Logan, only to see a resolute light flickering in Logan's eyes, clearly having made a decision.

“Logan, you…” Elder Talon Skyler began to say something, but was interrupted by Logan.

“Elder Talon Skyler, I know what you want. The Bodhi Tree fruit may be the key to enhancing your cultivation level and solidifying your status for you. However, you can't threaten us like this. Cooperation should be based on mutual trust and respect, not threats and coercion.” Logan's voice was firm and powerful, his gaze staring straight at Elder Talon Skyler without a hint of backing down.

Elder Talon Skyler's complexion changed subtly. He hadn't expected Logan to point out his intentions so directly. But he quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, “Logan, do you think I'm threatening you? I'm merely stating a fact. The Spirit World is perilous, and without our help, it will be difficult for you to succeed in obtaining the Bodhi Tree. This is for your own good.”

“For our good?” Logan scoffed, “Elder Talon Skyler, do you think we are three-year-olds to be easily fooled by your nonsense? You have already deceived us once before, do you plan to deceive us yet again? Let me tell you, we won't fall for your tricks anymore.”

Hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler's brow furrowed. He knew his previous actions had indeed made Logan and Sheron Perri deeply distrustful of him. Now, to regain their trust was not going to be an easy task.

“Logan, I admit, I did make some mistakes before. But that doesn't mean I am untrustworthy. I have come here now with a sincere desire to cooperate with you. I know that only by standing together can we succeed in obtaining the Bodhi Tree.” Elder Talon Skyler's voice carried a hint of earnestness, trying to move Logan.

However, Logan was unmoved. He gave Elder Talon Skyler a cold glance and then said, “Elder Talon Skyler, we cannot see your sincerity. If you truly want to cooperate, then you should show it with real actions, not just empty talk here.”

Sheron Perri also added, “Exactly, Elder Talon Skyler. We've had enough of your words. If you want to cooperate, show us your sincerity. Otherwise, we would rather go to the Spirit World alone than work with you.”

Elder Talon Skyler felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. He had thought that, with his status and power, he could easily make Logan and Sheron Perri submit. But to his surprise, these two young men were so principled that they would rather face danger alone than cooperate with him.

In the end, Elder Talon Skyler could only sigh helplessly. He looked at Logan and Sheron Perri and said sincerely, “Alright, I admit, I did go too far this time. I apologize to you both and hope you can forgive me. At the same time, I promise to show my sincerity in our cooperation. I will do my utmost to help you succeed in obtaining the Bodhi Tree.”

Logan and Sheron Perri exchanged glances, and then saw a flicker of hesitation in each other's eyes. They knew Elder Talon Skyler's capabilities were unfathomable, and if he truly showed sincerity in cooperating, it could undoubtedly be a powerful aid for them. However, they also knew that Elder Talon Skyler was not someone who could be easily trusted. They needed time to observe his actions and decide whether he truly intended to cooperate sincerely.

Therefore, Logan spoke up, “Elder Talon Skyler, we have received your apology, but we need more time to consider whether to cooperate with you. Until then, we hope you can maintain your sincerity and not do anything else that disappoints us.”

Elder Talon Skyler nodded in understanding. He knew he needed time to regain the trust of Logan and Sheron Perri. So he responded, “Alright, I will keep my sincerity and wait for your answer. In the meantime, if there is any way I can be of help, just tell me, and I will do everything I can to assist you.”
