Chapter 259 As long as the Demon City is safe
Although Chai Li was wary of his sudden retraction of the sword, he couldn't suppress his joy.
He knew exactly where Venerable Xing Heng gained his fame, especially the Kunwu Sword. If it were not necessary, no one would want to fight him.
Otherwise, there would be no need for him to go to the trouble of capturing Chu Xinglan.
Chai Li coughed lightly and put on a friendly smile.
"Your Excellency, I am here this time mainly on behalf of the demon race and would like to discuss with you the peaceful coexistence of the three races."
"Now, the human race and the demon race seem to have many misunderstandings about our demon race. In fact, we have no intention of starting a war."
"In my opinion, peaceful coexistence is the general trend and the common aspiration of all of us. Don't you agree?"
Sang Yunqi did not answer his question directly, but looked at him curiously and asked.
"You represent the demon clan? Does Fan Lou know? Although it sounds unpleasant, with your current status, it seems that you are not qualified to represent them. It would be better for the Left Protector to come."
Chai Li was immediately choked by his words. Now the demon clan has been completely divided into two factions. One faction is the Demon Lord and his cronies who followed him to conquer the world.
The other faction is made up of the old demons. They are not as strong or experienced as the Left Protector, so they always follow his lead.
I don’t know if the Demon Lord Fan Lou has lost his mind. After returning to the Demon Clan last time, he suddenly declared war on them.
The demons are naturally belligerent, and now all the brains of the demons have been exposed after fighting in the demon world. It took him a lot of effort to get out this time.
He also told Fan Lou that he was afraid that as soon as he showed up in front of Fan Lou, the madman would be so excited that he would want to kill him directly.
But thinking about his own purpose, Chai Li certainly couldn't tell the truth. He smiled confidently, "Venerable Xing Heng, you are joking. It was the Demon Lord who sent me to negotiate this time. Otherwise, how could I dare to be the Demon Lord's master?"
Sang Yunqi sneered, not even bothering to hide the sarcasm on his face, clearly showing his disbelief.
But he still asked: "Then tell me, what do you want?"
Chai Li was a little confused by his attitude, but he still spoke calmly.
"Your Excellency, this is harsh. We are all working for peace, so everyone must make concessions."
As he spoke, he suddenly cueed Chu Xinglan who was playing badly: "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Chu Xinglan, who was already daydreaming and thinking about what to eat to reward himself when he got home, hummed in confusion and said subconsciously.
"Peace? Peace is good. I didn't expect you to be so conscious."
Sang Yunqi and Xiaotuanzi couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard that. Even Miu Zhi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, but when he realized it, he quickly suppressed it.
Chu Xinglan was confused when he saw them suddenly laugh, "Am I wrong? Peace is the broad road to happiness."
Chai Li's face was gloomy. He never thought that anyone would be distracted during such an important conversation. He just felt that this guy was deliberately trying to embarrass him.
The hand that was pulling Chu Xinglan's collar suddenly increased its strength. The sudden suffocation made Chu Xinglan choke and cough. Although he didn't know what he had said wrong, he still shut his mouth honestly.
Seeing that his face turned red, Sang Yunqi frowned unhappily and said to Chai Li with dissatisfaction.
"Is this your sincerity in the negotiation? According to what you said, Xing Lan now represents the demon race. How can you manipulate him at will? If you tell others about it, I'm afraid people will laugh their heads off."
Chai Li also knew that his sudden attack was a bit provocative. Although he was still angry, he loosened his strength and forced a smile.
"Your Excellency is right. This is my fault."
Sang Yunqi had lost his patience. This man had been talking for a long time but still couldn't get to the point. He began to doubt the purpose of his visit.
Seeing Sang Yunqi's suspicious eyes, Chai Li's heart skipped a beat. He didn't bother to talk nonsense anymore and directly stated his purpose.
"As long as the human race agrees to give Anmo City to the demon race, the demon race is willing to not fight for a hundred years."
Having said that, he also added a reason to look past it.
"As everyone knows, the environment in my demon world is harsh. It's hard for the demons to survive, and resources are scarce. If we want to survive, we have to keep coming to the human and demon races."
Sang Yunqi was so angry that he laughed.
"You have tried several times but have not been able to take down Anmo City, and you have suffered heavy losses. Are you trying this now?"
What is Anmo City? It was a pass that they had conquered at the cost of countless lives.
Even if the demons retreated back to the demon world and have not appeared in the world for many years, there has been no ordinary people in that city. It is not that they cannot go there, but for safety reasons, they are not allowed to stay there.
If they lose Anmo City, the demons will be able to attack or defend, and the door to the entire human race will be open to them.
Chai Li is asking for too much. Sang Yunqi would have to be crazy to agree to it.
Chai Li was prepared for his current attitude and did not feel embarrassed or angry. He just spoke seriously.
"We the demons only want to settle down in the Demon City. If Your Excellency agrees, we can sign the Heavenly Dao Contract today. Heavenly Dao is fair, Your Excellency has nothing to worry about."
In his opinion, bringing up the Heavenly Dao was their greatest sincerity.
He and the left protector had carefully deduced that as long as the demons took over Anmo City, they would make a profit even if there was no war for a hundred years. They had no intention of doing anything about it.
They are willing to wait for that little bit of time, and a hundred years later, Anmo City will completely become the territory of their demon clan, and they will have completely driven a nail into the lifeline of the cultivation world.
Especially the human race is the most forgetful race. After a hundred years of peace, these people have probably long forgotten the tragic war of the past. If they take action at that time, they will only get half the result with twice the effort.
Unexpectedly, when Sang Yunqi heard Tian Dao, he had no respect at all and just spoke wildly.
"What is the Heavenly Dao? I am willing to give him this face in ordinary small matters, but ask him about this matter. Does he dare to witness it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky, and the powerful pressure came straight towards Sang Yunqi. It was obvious that someone was angry.
Chu Xinglan felt that all the hairs on his body stood up, and even though it was not directed at him, he felt a little breathless.
Under such divine power, he couldn't even think of resisting.
Not only him, but also Little Dumpling was trembling. Even Chai Li and Miu Zhi shrank subconsciously, feeling a little stuffy in their chests.
But the person in question impatiently drew out the Kunwu sword, waved his sleeve, and the sword flew out of his hand and went straight into the sky.
Destructive black lightning struck the Kunwu sword continuously, as if it would not stop until it was cut off.
