The old demon's face was grim, his voice icy: "Murder must be punished with one's life!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, secretly wondering if this old demon had lost his mind.

After all, Qin Feng is the Palace Master of the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace! Based on that alone, no one in the entire Outer Heaven would dare to make him pay with his life.

As the Palace Master of the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace, Qin Feng holds an extremely prestigious position and possesses unfathomable strength. Who could possibly defeat him?

At this moment, everyone felt regret and helplessness at the old demon's mad actions.

Perhaps he was just blinded by anger, but such behavior will only bring him more trouble.

"Fellow Daoist, you're being a bit irrational!" Ye Qingxin frowned and advised, "Given the current situation, I suggest you try to resolve this as a minor issue rather than a major one."

"After all, our primary task right now is to work together to deal with the Soul Eaters. If internal conflicts and contradictions arise, it will only make the situation worse."

"So, I hope you can calm down and prioritize the bigger picture."

The old demon looked at Ye Qingxin and snorted coldly, "You don't need to say anything more. This matter absolutely cannot be left like this."

"He must give me a satisfactory explanation, or I will not let this go."

Ye Qingxin sighed helplessly and continued to persuade, "I understand how you feel, but now is not the time to act impulsively. We should unite and fight against the Soul Devourer Clan together."

"If the demon race were to retreat because of this trivial matter, it would be a loss for all of us. Please reconsider."

The old demon remained unmoved. He widened his eyes and said angrily, "What a trivial matter!"

"This is no small matter. If he doesn't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I guarantee I will immediately lead the demon race to retreat!"

"Then you'll have to face the demons yourselves!" With that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxin said urgently, "Please wait a moment! This is indeed our fault, and I will find a way to resolve it."

"Please don't make a decision hastily. We need the power of the demon race to fight against the Soul Devouring Clan!"

Upon hearing this, the old demon stopped in his tracks, turned back to look at Ye Qingxin, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

If he were to lead the demon race away like this, the demon race would inevitably become the target of everyone's criticism.

After all, the Soul Devouring Clan is the common enemy of all races in the entire Outer Heaven.

If their demon race were to withdraw, how would they be any different from traitors?

Ye Qingxin felt a slight sense of relief when she saw the old demon hesitate for a moment.

She knew that she had to remain calm in the face of such a situation in order to prevent the conflict from escalating further.

So she took a deep breath and said to the old demon, "I am willing to make him apologize to your demon race and give you reasonable compensation."

The old demon frowned, his expression shifting between gloom and uncertainty. For a being at the peak of the Primordial Saint Emperor realm, merely receiving an apology and compensation was clearly not enough to satisfy him.

However, the current situation has put him in a dilemma. If he insists on his position, it may lead to opposition from others and trigger greater contradictions and conflicts.

After a moment of silence, the old demon said coldly, "An apology is acceptable, but he must apologize on his knees!"

He then added, "As for compensation, it requires at least 100 billion top-grade spirit crystals and 10,000 spirit herbs that are over 10,000 years old! Otherwise, there's no point in discussing anything!"

His attitude was unusually firm, as if there was no room for negotiation.

This left everyone present feeling somewhat helpless.

After all, expecting the dignified Palace Master of the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace to kneel and apologize is simply wishful thinking.

Qin Feng represents the face of the Ice Spirit Immortal Palace, and his dignity and status are not to be challenged.

Therefore, the old demon's excessive request was undoubtedly wishful thinking.

Ye Qingxin opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't know what to say. So, she simply kept quiet.

Lin Zhendong hesitated for a moment, frowned, looked at the old demon, and said earnestly, "Don't you think your request is a bit excessive?"

"To put it bluntly, Xiong Jingyun clearly brought this upon himself, so there's no reason to blame Palace Master Qin for being so ruthless."

"Furthermore, if you really want to lead the demon race to retreat, I advise you to think it over carefully before making a decision!"

"Otherwise, you demons are traitors to the Outer Heavens, and everyone has the right to kill you!"

Upon hearing Lin Zhendong's words, the elder of the demon race felt a chill in his heart. He knew all too well that if the demon race were regarded as traitors to the Outer Heavens, they would face immense pressure and crisis.

However, he still firmly believed that his demands were reasonable and that it was also to uphold the dignity of the demon race.

"Hmph! Intimidating our demon race?" the demon elder roared, his eyes flashing with rage. "At worst, our demon race will submit to the Soul Devouring Clan. Are you willing to bet?"

These words immediately created a tense atmosphere.

Everyone looked at Lin Zhendong, their eyes filled with wariness and worry.

They knew that if the demon race truly sided with the spirit-devouring race, the situation would be extremely unfavorable for them.

Lin Zhendong snorted coldly, a disdainful look on his face. "Support the Spirit Devouring Clan? What a demon clan you are! Do you think you can threaten me like this?" His voice was cold and firm, revealing a fearless determination.

"In that case, everyone, how about we join forces to wipe out the demon race first?" Lin Zhendong suddenly said loudly, his eyes sweeping over the crowd around him.

Lin Zhendong's suggestion made everyone present fall into deep thought, and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very tense.

Tensions were high between the two sides, and a fierce conflict seemed imminent.

Everyone felt the tension and pressure, like the calm before a storm.

Just then, Qin Feng suddenly spoke up, "Sect Leader Lin, don't be in such a hurry! He alone probably can't represent the entire demon race, right? There are four senior members of the demon race here. Why don't we listen to their opinions first?"

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Lin frowned slightly, but still nodded, indicating his agreement with Qin Feng's proposal.

Therefore, everyone's attention was focused on the four powerful demons, waiting for them to express their opinions.

Four powerful demons stood side by side, emanating a powerful demonic aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Of the four, there were three men and one woman, and the three men were all members of the Jiaolong clan.

They were tall and muscular, exuding an aura of authority.

Their eyes were sharp as eagles, flashing with a cold light.

The woman, however, seemed somewhat different from the others.

Her aura was very strange, making it difficult to discern which demon clan she belonged to.

She is petite and delicate, yet exudes a powerful aura.

Her face was beautiful and captivating, yet her eyes gleamed with cunning and indifference. Her attire was magnificent and unique, seemingly imbued with some mysterious power.
