You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

Chapter 867 Taking advantage of the situation

He scoffed at the demon clan's request for peace.

"We humans came here with sincere intentions, but you were not like this just now. You all thought that we humans were arrogant. How come you now know that we are accomplices to the evil and have destroyed the peace talks? What were you doing before? I feel sorry for little friend Qingtong. I don't know what kind of torture he must have gone through after being kidnapped by that demon cultivator..." Old man Nangong shook his head with regret.

The Sword Master was even more aggressive, drawing his sword and pointing it directly at the Demon Masters. "Who knows if there are still people among you who are colluding with the evil beasts? Will they target my disciples next time and exterminate all the talented people who have emerged? You still want to negotiate? You have a really big appetite. You got the Enlightenment Tea and you still want to take advantage of it. You demons are so shameless!!"

After being scolded, the Demon Lord opened his mouth with an ugly expression but had to endure it. The position he expressed in a confused manner made it difficult for them to move forward and the situation became worse and worse.

"Fellow Daoist from the human race, we never thought that the Great Demon Lord was a traitor. It was not our intention. We hope you can forgive us for our rash actions before!" Venerable Golden Dragon looked anxious and wanted to explain, but he seemed so powerless.

"Forgive? Haha, Master Jin, do you think that a life and a cup of enlightenment tea worth a fortune can be forgiven with just a verbal apology from you? I don't agree! After something like this, you want to negotiate peace, which is too insincere! "

Seeing that the situation was almost heated, Shangguan Qiuying started throwing a tantrum, her purpose too obvious - this was a close friend, this wasn't enough, she had to pay more!

When Venerable Jin Jiao heard this, he understood what these people meant. They were here to demand compensation!

"You are extorting me!" the hot-tempered Demon Lord shouted, but was stopped by the Golden Dragon Lord. Although his expression was unhappy, he controlled his temper and pointed at the sky, saying, "The Demon Clan is doomed. Do you want to take away the last bit of hope in the South China Sea?!"

"But they are clearly taking advantage of the situation!!"

"We have to endure it!" Venerable Golden Dragon roared angrily, secretly transmitting a message to the other demon lords, "They are still willing to negotiate now. If the war continues, how many of us, the demons of the South Sea, can survive? We must endure hardships and wait for the Mirage Dragon Ancient Road to open. As divine beasts, we have far more opportunities than these humans. Then we will have the chance to reclaim our glory!"

The demon lords suddenly realized, but they were still depressed. The demon race has its own pride, and they would never bow to the human race. They felt very aggrieved, but helpless.

Venerable Golden Dragon looked at Venerable Sword and said, "Though those two traitors were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, they will likely leave behind a considerable amount of treasures. We will hand over all the treasures left by those two demons to the human race. How about that as an apology for our hindrance?"

Elder Nangong waved his purple sleeve, took out the immortal bone blood that Changqing had given him, and sniffed it gently. After being intoxicated, he quickly shook his head and said, "Haha, even we treasure the enlightenment tea. What's wrong with you fooling around with some scrap metal?"

Sword Master held his sword against his chest and raised his eyes: "Even so, how should we account for your demon race's invasion of our human land and the slaughter of millions of our people? Were their deaths in vain?"

"You were the ones who started the war. Don't tell me that many of your demon cultivators died. That was a war, and you were the ones who killed the human race first. You have to take responsibility for the death of those demons! The land you are standing on is stained with the blood of our human race. The treasures left in the mansions of the Great Demon Lord and the Second Demon Lord are not enough!" The middle-aged man in red fur was agitated, and seemed to be quite angry about this matter.

"You..." Even Venerable Jin Jiao felt like he had jumped into a pit.

The old master waved his sleeves and used his literary energy to transform it into a flat white jade platform again. The two sides began to pull each other to the extreme.

Half a day later, the two sides finally calmed down from their heated conversation.

As compensation for this wrongful battle, each demon lord must give 10% of his own wealth and return all the land in the southern region that was occupied by the demon clan.

The returned land comes at the cost of allowing the geniuses of the demon race to enter the four realms. Of course, these geniuses of the demon race should not harm the lives of humans. If they wantonly slaughter human civilians, humans should treat them as evil demons and there is no need to worry about the demon race.

Only when both parties establish a creed and swear an oath can they truly reach an agreement.

From then on, the battle between humans and demons that lasted for nearly ten years came to an end.

Amidst the battle lines, a mighty cheer resounded through the heavens. A closer look revealed that the cheering individuals were all in brand new robes, their expressions innocent and naive. They were all newly arrived cultivators, eager to claim a share of the victory. Most of the sects on the battlefield were silent, turning back to gaze at the assembled disciples. Their responses were few and far between, their gazes heavy with worry. Some sects had only 50% of their disciples left, others less than 10%. Even the consuls of some third-rank factions, along with their disciples, had been completely lost, unremembered.

Those who have truly experienced war will not laugh at victory, but only feel silent pain and trance.

The black demon army retreated like a tide. Many people looked at this scene with mixed feelings. The world seemed to have settled down again, but only those in high positions understood that the next step would be the arena for the geniuses. The great world began with wars and prospered because of the geniuses.

Jin Shen stood at the back of the team, clenched his fists and muttered, "Qingtong, don't die so easily, you still owe me an explanation~"

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion on his shoulder, and a golden louse the size of a fingernail flapped its wings and flew in front of him, holding an exquisite storage bag in its sharp mouthparts.

The bag fell into his hand, and a voice echoed in his ears: "Jin Shen, our agreement is now complete. I hope there won't be so much hostility when we meet next time. Remember to buy me a drink. This is a favor you owe me~~"

The demon's consciousness flickered, and the object in the ring came into his mind: "Can this guy really come back?"

"No, since this guy said that, he must have a backup plan. It turns out that Chun Qingtong is not as treacherous as the rumors say. Is he forced by the situation? Never mind, let's drink next time we meet? Haha~ The demon clan's wine has been hidden for ten thousand years. I hope you can drink well~~" A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He clenched the ring and watched the Dao-eating Lice fly away with mixed feelings.

Today is the darkest day for the demon clan in the South China Sea, but for the Golden Dragon Clan, it doesn't seem so bad now.

Not all humans are profit-seeking...

On a mountaintop not far from the Yuling Sect, a figure with purple silk wrapped around her body, fluttering in the mountain breeze, and wearing a tight-fitting armor, her beautiful eyes were staring at the people from the Yuling Sect who were constantly packing their bags.

After the battle, Li Yuesu didn't believe that he couldn't find Changqing who was hiding.

But even after the tents were taken down and everyone looked around, there was no familiar figure.

"I've heard enough of that nonsense! If I catch him this time, I'll definitely fight him, even if it means I'll kill him!" Li Yuesu felt a fire burning in his head again: That guy has the Dao Seed, but he's still pretending to be weak. Does he think I'm young and easy to fool?!
