Chapter 425: If I Had Known It Would Be Like This…

In the end, Gereian chose to check whether the Law God truly existed.

If he did, and Gereian didn’t believe it, leading to their entire army’s destruction, that would be too tragic.

If the Law God did not exist, they could simply settle the score with the Ilyrisri Empire later.

Finally, Gereian decided to let other empires each select a great magic tutor to accompany them.

This way, even if they were surrounded, the losses would not be too severe.

“Let’s go, lead us to meet the Law God,” Gereian said to Karleir.

“Let’s go; I already spoke to the elder beforehand. You just need to follow me,” Karleir replied to Gereian.

Before coming, he had discussed with Li Bai, hoping to borrow the name of the Law God.

Of course, he also offered something in return, promising to give Li Bai five thousand jars of fragrant wine.

For the sake of disciple Evelyn, Li Bai agreed to Karleir’s request.

Otherwise, Karleir wouldn’t dare casually use the name of the Law God.

Soon, Karleir led Gereian and the others down to Silver Moon City, then flew outside the Moon Palace.

“Junior Karleir pays respect to the elder,” Karleir said respectfully before the Moon Palace.

Just as Karleir finished speaking, an incredibly powerful divine sense pressure descended upon Karleir and Gereian’s group.

Faced with the powerful spiritual pressure, over twenty great magic tutors were forced to kneel under the immense pressure.

Gereian felt as if he were a small boat tossed in the rolling sea, at risk of capsizing at any moment.

Fortunately, the spiritual pressure lasted only a few seconds before it quickly withdrew.

In the next moment, Gereian and his group found themselves unable to move; an instant later, they appeared outside a grand palace.

“What brings you to see me?” Li Bai asked, looking at everyone.

Gereian saw Li Bai, and at first glance, he felt as though he were looking at a celestial being.

“Elder, these are envoys from other empires. Upon hearing of your existence, they wished to meet you,” Karleir hurriedly said to Li Bai respectfully.

“Meet me? Did you bring any gifts?” Li Bai’s gaze turned to Gereian.

Before Gereian could respond, Li Bai continued, “I have always loved drinking. If you can offer me a fine wine I have never tasted before, I don’t mind trading some items from the Divine Realm with you.”

Upon hearing Li Bai’s words, Karleir’s face changed at once.

He wanted to say something but dared not speak.

Meanwhile, Gereian and the others were astonished by what they heard.

“Elder, may I ask if the elixir that can help people break through to become holy magic tutors is provided by the Ilyrisri Empire?” Gereian hastily inquired of Li Bai.

Hearing this, Karleir’s face turned pale.

Had he known it would come to this, he would never have brought Gereian and the others to meet the Law God.

It seemed the elder wanted to trade with them.

In this situation, did the Ilyrisri Empire still have any hope of unifying the Elf Tribe?

However, when the elder spoke, he dared not interrupt.

On the other side, hearing Gereian’s question, Li Bai lightly nodded, “Yes, this is a transaction I made with the Ilyrisri Empire. They gave me ten thousand jars of fragrant wine, and in return, I provided them with five jars of divine wine, which can help over a hundred great magic tutors break through to become holy magic tutors.”

“Later, they brought me a type of magic source wine and exchanged it for an elixir that can help over a hundred people become holy magic tutors. That’s about how it went,” Li Bai explained to Gereian.

Li Bai said this mainly because he was somewhat displeased with Karleir using his identity to intimidate others.

In this situation, others might think he was associated with the Ilyrisri Empire.

Therefore, he decided to make it clear that he had no connection to the Ilyrisri Empire.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Bai’s words, Gereian and his group looked excited.

However, one great magic tutor wore an angry expression.

“Elder, the magic source wine is the royal wine of my Dark Elf Empire; the Ilyrisri Empire bought it from us.”

“I wondered why the price of magic source wine soared by dozens or even hundreds of times; this is the reason.”

“Elder, if the Ilyrisri Empire can exchange magic source wine for elixirs, my Dark Elf Empire can too…”

“Elder, my Sunrise Empire also has a type of magic wine that is on par with fragrant wine and magic source wine, and we are willing to exchange elixirs with you…”

Suddenly, countless people began to speak, hoping to trade their country’s magic wine for elixirs with Li Bai.

To this, Li Bai naturally responded with appreciation, “If you have magic wine similar to the fragrant wine, I would be happy to trade with you.”

Hearing Li Bai’s words, Karleir couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.

If possible, he wanted to stop such transactions.

However, that was not allowed.

If he angered the elder in front of him, he would not have a good outcome and might even implicate the entire empire.

So, he could only watch everyone negotiate with the elder.

“Elder, may I ask if there are any side effects from the divine wine and elixirs that enhance cultivation levels?” Gereian inquired of Li Bai.

Hearing this, Li Bai smiled and said, “Those who are forcibly raised to become holy magic tutors by elixirs have a hard time ascending to the Divine Realm, so it is advisable not to give it to those talented people who can break through to holy magic tutors on their own.”

Upon hearing Li Bai’s words, Gereian felt relieved.

That did not seem like a significant side effect.

“Elder, please wait for a while; we will be back shortly to gather magic wine,” Gereian respectfully said to Li Bai.

“In that case, you may leave. When you have the wine, come back here to trade with me,” Li Bai replied, waving his hand.

In the next moment, everyone was moved away from the Moon Palace.

As the group felt themselves being transported out of the palace, they were filled with reverence for the elder’s abilities.

At this moment, no one doubted he was the Law God.

If he were not the Law God, he could not have done such a thing.

Among them, Ge Shuyang, like Karleir, was a peak holy magic tutor.

To be able to make a peak holy magic tutor powerless to resist, who else besides the Law God could achieve that?

After leaving the Moon Palace, everyone’s faces still showed excitement.

Only Karleir wore a troubled expression, feeling as if he were forcing a smile.

“Karleir, thank you for bringing us to see the Law God; I owe you a favor for this,” Gereian said, cupping his hands in gratitude to Karleir.

Hearing the thanks, Karleir’s lips twitched involuntarily.

“It’s nothing; I was just doing my duty for the elder.”

After saying this, Karleir turned to the group and said, “By the way, the Law God took on a direct disciple; I’ll take you to meet her. Otherwise, if you happen to cross paths in the future, you won’t know how you got into trouble.”
