Seeing everyone arguing, Gongsun Shi coldly snapped, “Shut up!”
Everyone fell silent.
Gongsun Shi swept his icy gaze across everyone present. “I don’t care what you think,” he said in a low voice. “From today onwards, none of the Heaven Rank experts are allowed to cross the line. I don’t care how you kill the demons who cross the line, but if any of you dare to cross the line and start a war,
don’t blame me for being merciless!”
He knew that the rules had to be set!
He looked at Emperor Zhou and said coldly, “I will discuss this matter with Chu Xun and suppress this matter. However, if there’s a next time, I will definitely kill you!”
“Hmph!” Emperor Zhou only snorted in response.
‘There was a faint coldness in his eyes. He had long guessed this outcome, which was why he deliberately led people to attack the Demonic Tribe!
It was to force the two races to war!
This was because he knew that Gongsun Shi would definitely not hand him over.
Once he said that he would hand him over, the consequences would definitely not be small. Moreover, he had brought many Heaven Rank experts with him this time. Would Gongsun Shi be willing to suffer such a loss?
What he needed to see now was whether the Demonic Tribe could accept this outcome!
Would they accept such an outcome?
In front of the Mortal Demon Realm, Gongsun Shi and Su Changqing faced Chu Xun.
Chu Xun’s eyes were cold and murderous.
‘The Zhou Emperor’s surprise attack had caused the Demonic Tribe to lose tens of thousands of people! They had even killed two Heaven Rank experts!
To the entire Demonic Tribe, this was a considerable loss.
Su Changqing smiled and said, “Your Majesty, this time, it’s because we were not strict with my subordinates. Because of this conflict, we’re willing to compensate Your Majesty. For the next three transactions, we won’t charge any patent fees.”
“I want the murderers!” Chu Xun said coldly. “Those Heaven Rank experts who attacked us must die!”
Su Changqing shook his head slightly. “Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding! Why must you do this? Handing over the Heaven Rank expert is impossible, but we can discuss the other conditions!”
Chu Xun looked at Gongsun Shi and said coldly, “Is this your decision?”
Gongsun Shi didn’t back down at all. He met Chu Xun’s gaze and said in a deep voice, “That’s right. This is a misunderstanding!”
“Hahaha!” Chu Xun laughed maniacally.
His eyes were filled with coldness as he sneered, “Do you think that you can be fearless just because you have two Saint Ranks? Do you think you can slaughter my Demonic Tribe without any problems?”
Su Changqing had a bad feeling in his heart.
Chu Xun’s attitude was unexpectedly unyielding towards this matter.
Most importantly, he seemed to have no intention of asking for compensation!
As long as he asked for compensation, no matter how much it was, it was a matter of price.
However, he just stated his request of wanting Emperor Zhou and the others.
Chu Xun said coldly, “T’ll only give you two choices! Firstly, hand those people over to me within three days. Secondly, we’ll start the war completely! From today onwards, all transactions between the Demonic Tribe and the human world will be canceled, and we’ll enter a state of war preparation. If you
don’t hand over the people, then we’ll fight freely! I want to try, so what if it’s one against two!”
His arrogant attitude completely put Gongsun Shi and Su Changing in a difficult position!
No matter how glib Su Changing was, it was useless if the other party did not even want to talk about it!
After saying that, Chu Xun turned around and flew away!
Mo Youhan followed behind him.
After leaving the negotiation area, Mo Youhan asked, “Your Majesty, weren’t you too unyielding just now? It’s not good for us to start a war now.”
Chu Xun’s gaze was cold as he said, “You have to remember! Our Demonic Tribe cannot be bullied by others no matter what. The lives of our Demonic Tribe are definitely not something that those mountain pigs and rats can be exchanged for!
If I agree to reconcile with them today, they will soon have a second or even a third time! The battle between the two races has always been like this. If one side shows weakness, it will only cause the other side to push their luck!”
“But if His Majesty is defeated…” Mo Youhan was still a little worried. After all, if something were to happen to him, the entire Demonic Tribe might face a huge problem as a result.
However, Chu Xun’s expression remained impassive.
“If lose, then I lose! I can’t let myself be bullied and swallow my anger!”
Chu Xun said indifferently, “Remember, if I lose, you can escape if you can. As long as you break through to the Saint Rank, my Demonic Tribe will still forever be one of the three great races of the Demon Realm!”
He turned back to look in the direction of the humans and sneered, “I, Chu Xun, will never allow others to bully me, even if others are stronger than me! What’s there to fear if I die?”
Neither Gongsun Shi nor Su Changqing had expected Chu Xun to be so unyielding.
He had no intention of compromising.
“What do you think we should do now?” Gongsun Shi asked.
Su Changqing frowned and said, “Now that the matter has come to this, it’s disadvantageous to me instead. Once the battle begins, the fact that Xue Qianxun isn’t a Saint will definitely be exposed. At that time, the assessment of both side’s strengths will definitely be overturned.”
Coldness flashed through Gongsun Shi’s eyes. “Then how about handing over Zhao Fu and the others?”
“Alas…” Su Changqing sighed and said, “If you hand him over, then what would the others think? After all, we’re enemies with the Demonic Tribe, so who wouldn’t want to watch their own people slaughter their enemies? If we lose the hearts of the people, then I’m afraid there will be changes as well!”
Changes? Gongsun Shi’s eyes flashed with coldness as he said, “What change can there be? Who dares to oppose me at this time?”
Su Changqing smiled and said, “No one dares to be your enemy, but who knows, there might be people who will start to contact the demons and betray the human world. Or maybe they won’t put in any effort and deliberately let those Demons send more stowaways into the human world.
‘When the world is in chaos, what will happen? These people who can affect the situation are all influential people, and can even interfere and influence our subordinates.”
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Shi fell silent!
That was indeed so!
It was impossible for him to do everything. If he wanted to maintain the stability of the human world, he had to rely on everyone’s strength.
However, just as they were researching on a best possible solution, a war broke out within the Heavenly Fiend Race!
In Tianyuan City.
Kaien sat on the throne, looking down at the two of them.
Long Kun, Yu Suging.
“You two are still too inexperienced to kill me.”
At this moment, both of them were severely injured.
Long Kun looked upwards at Kaien with fear in his eyes!
This fellow was already half a step into the Saint Rank.
His battle prowess far surpassed that of an ordinary 9th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator.
Even though he and Yu Suqing had attacked at the same time, they were still defeated.
However, in the battle between the two sides, more than half of Tianyuan City was destroyed and countless people died.
This made Kaien furious!
He looked at Long Kun as he coldly uttered, “I treat you like a brother. Why are you like this?”
Long Kun remained silent.
At this point, he knew that there was no way for both sides to return.
Betrayers were always unacceptable to the ruler.
Kaien’s heart ached at this scene.
However, he knew that he could not allow Long Kun to continue living.
He walked in front of Long Kun, before saying in a deep voice, “Go in peace!”
“Pfft!”
Long Kun’s head shattered like a watermelon!
‘Thousands of miles away, Long Shi and Chu Yiming fled frantically!
“Lknew that this matter wasn’t reliable. Your father insisted on doing it. Look at what sort of big problem you guys have caused?” Chu Yiming gloated.
Long Shi was furious. “That’s still your father-in-law!”
“Hehe, if your sister didn’t escape, she would be dead! How would I have a father-in-law then?”
Earlier on, seeing that the momentum was not good, the two of them had immediately escaped!
