Chapter 123 Chapter 123 "I see, the one before...
"I think the one with the willow twig won't come out. It's probably dead. We don't have to worry about anything. As for the other one, didn't it jump into the gap?
Can we just charge in? If we miss this chance, it will be gone!" The sealed ones gathered together, frowning, looking out and talking anxiously.
"What if he's not dead yet? What if he fell into the gap and that person suddenly came out? The one who entered the gap seemed to have done so voluntarily. Who knows if he can get out by himself?"
"How about this, we try it out first with courtesy and then force. If those two really can't get out, we don't have to be polite to them. If one of them shows up, we should put off going outside for the time being."
They decided on this and sent an invitation letter to the Demon Island.
As expected, the person who received this thing was Li Qinglian.
Li Qinglian took a look at the thing and handed it to Li Baihe: "The sealed ones want to invite you to a meeting. If you agree, they can also come to you to discuss peaceful coexistence."
Li Baihe snorted, "How can they do this? Why don't I believe it?"
Li Qinglian smiled and said, "It's better not to fight if you can."
Li Baili looked outside and said, "There are not many bugs right now. Let them come over. I don't think they can stand it for two days. We should meet them."
Li Qinglian nodded: "Then I will reply to them? Ask them to come to the meeting? When is the time?"
"Tomorrow," Li Baili looked at the sky, "If they are willing to come tomorrow, the meeting can be held. If they don't come, everything will be cancelled."
Li Qinglian nodded and sent a message. A bug quickly flew back with a huge letter, hovering beside the magic circle, making a buzzing sound.
Li Qinglian caught the bug and opened the letter on it. She found it was a reply from the other party, saying that they would definitely come tomorrow and would not be late. They emphasized that their only hope was to see Li Baili or Li Hanshuang at the meeting, and nothing else mattered.
Li Qinglian showed the letter to Li Baihe and said with a half-smile, "They really care about you."
Li Baihe shook the letter, read it and threw it back: "I'll leave the meeting to you."
"Got it." Li Qinglian nodded, put away the letter, and seeing that he had no intention of talking further, she turned around and went to discuss it with someone else.
The next day, the venue was set up. It was a temporary place with a bright magic circle drawn on the ground. It could be activated at any time to kill any sealed person who acted rashly.
Before dawn, the sealed ones appeared outside the magic circle of Demon Island, looking inside eagerly, waiting for the door to open, as if they were waiting to rush into the cafeteria.
The demons and cultivators on the Demon Island all knew yesterday that they were going to come for a meeting, so although they were alert, they did not launch an attack immediately and just waited for orders.
Li Qinglian informed Li Baili, and Li Baili put those things in, entertained them in the temporary venue, sat at the top seat, and smiled at them.
It should have been a very polite and friendly smile, but everyone shuddered at the same time, and somehow remembered how he had dealt with the enemy on the sea before.
"Please take a seat, everyone." Li Baili said to them with a smile.
The sealed ones looked at each other, then tremblingly found a place to sit down, and they all squeezed very close to each other, as if they could keep warm by huddling together.
If you don’t know, at first glance, you might think they are a litter of cats in the corner of a wall in winter.
"What do you want to talk about?" Li Baili looked around at them and asked.
The sealed ones looked at each other, pushed one, and answered the question: "We can temporarily not cross the line of Demon Island, but you can't cross this line either.
We won't bother you again, but you can't go over there to bother us. We absolutely don't want to go back. If you insist that we go back, we will have to fight.
Although we certainly cannot defeat you and your friends, we can certainly defeat your subordinates.
If we really fight to the death, we cannot kill you, but we can kill your subordinates. Your loss will be immeasurable. Even if it is not much, it will definitely be a lot.
Unless you don't care about the people around you at all, we should be able to have some influence on you. Please consider living in peace with us, right?"
Li Baili thought for a moment and asked, "You mean, you won't want to cross this line in the future, and will only stay on your side of this line?"
The sealed one nodded.
"That's great," Li Baili smiled at them, "How long can you stay?"
The sealed ones looked at each other and asked tentatively, "How about a hundred years?"
Li Baili thought about it and her face darkened: "One hundred years is a bit too short."
They are not ordinary people, so a hundred years is quite easy for them. A hundred years is just a long time for ordinary people. I am afraid that a hundred years is not enough for them to rest and recuperate.
Although they will definitely fight after a while and their conflict is irreconcilable, it is better to delay it as long as possible.
"Then how much did you say?" the sealed ones asked cautiously.
"A thousand years?" Li Baili said casually.
A thousand years is ten times more than a hundred years.
The sealed ones didn't want to agree, but they felt they couldn't win. There was no need to target this, as the fight might break out at any time anyway. And if they thought about it carefully, what if Li Baili's life span was less than a thousand years?
There are still ten thousand or a hundred thousand years above a thousand years. It is good enough that Li Baili did not mention those endless years.
The sealed ones looked very unhappy, but finally they stammered and said, "It's not impossible."
Li Baili felt that they still had room to retreat, so she smiled and said, "Then let's sign a nine thousand year contract, shall we?"
Everyone was stunned.
The sealed ones almost slammed their heads and asked with sullen faces, "Didn't they say it would be a thousand years? How come it suddenly became nine thousand years? How can it be the same? How can it be the same?!"
Li Baili smiled like a dead wood: "There is no difference, isn't it a thousand years? You don't want to? You want to fight? That's fine too!
Even if I kill everyone, I will definitely get rid of you all. You know, it's as easy for me to kill you as it is to step on an ant. You can do whatever you want."
The sealed ones suddenly became weak.
They looked at each other, their faces turned red and white, they gritted their teeth, and did not speak for a while, as if they could refuse if they just thought long enough.
Li Baili sneered and said slowly, "I have a short patience. In ten seconds, if you don't say anything, I will activate the magic circle and blow you all up. If you are not dead, I will finish you off. I promise that you will all die. Okay?"
One of the sealed ones shouted loudly, he couldn't bear it any longer: "You can't do that, there are still your people here! Can you bear to see them die with us? They are weaker than me, they will definitely die before us! We are not afraid of you!"
Li Baili smiled and stood up. Her eyes were very precise. She found the person who was speaking, walked towards him slowly and said, "My people all have defensive formations on them. I drew them overnight last night. I guarantee that they can just offset the formations that are attacking you here. It's enough for them to survive."
Before she finished speaking, Li Baili walked to the back of the sealed person who had just spoken and stopped. The sealed person shuddered, his body stiffened, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to look back.
Li Baili put her hands on his chair, bent down and approached him, like a tiger sniffing a rabbit pretending to be dead, and asked with a smile: "What you said just now was very nice, please say it again, okay?"
The man shuddered and put an embarrassed smile on his face, as if he thought he could still get away. He tentatively turned his head and wanted to speak.
Li Baili slapped him in the face with a loud bang, and his head flew off. His body shook and he was about to run away, but Li Baili pressed on his shoulders, and he had to sit back down. Before he could utter a sound, his body shattered into pieces and he died.
The sealed ones who were still alive felt a chill run down their spines and shouted, "We agree! Nine thousand years is nine thousand years!"
Li Baili smiled and stood up, looked at them all, and asked politely, "Really?"
"Really, really!" The sealed ones shouted one after another, fearing that they would be liquidated if they were a second slower. They crawled around like a bunch of small crabs washed ashore by the waves.
"Okay." Li Baili's face turned cold, thinking that they were too noisy. They immediately quieted down and looked at each other, not knowing what had offended him again. He laughed again: "Everyone, don't be so nervous!"
Li Baili walked back to her seat and asked them, "Is that settled?"
The sealed ones nodded repeatedly.
Li Baili signed a contract with them. Although this thing might not be of any use when a fight really breaks out, the process still has to be followed.
Li Baili kept a copy, and after reading it, he threw it to Li Qinglian and asked him to keep it. Li Qinglian took it in a hurry, rolled it up carefully, tied it with a red ribbon, and put it in the box.
The other side also kept a portion. I don’t know who will be better at keeping it, but everyone feels it is a hot potato and pushes it back and forth, as if the thing will explode.
Because they know that if something really happens, the one who keeps the things will probably not have a good ending.
Finally, the thing was caught by one of the sealed ones. He had a bitter look on his face, sighed, and slowly put the thing away. Suddenly he thought of something and his eyes lit up.
"I have something to say!"
