Chapter 44 Chapter 44 "I'm very obedient." Monster...
"I'm very obedient." The demon blinked his eyes, smiled at Li Baili, opened his mouth and spoke quietly.
The demon's two legs were broken, but he was still kneeling on the ground, with a large pool of blood flowing from his broken legs. The strong smell of blood filled the air, making everyone around him turn pale and involuntarily look away.
Li Baili blinked her eyes with mixed feelings and just nodded. The demon seemed to have received a reward and became happy all of a sudden, not caring at all about the broken leg.
This strange state of excitement made the surrounding cultivators feel even colder in their hearts, and they moved their gazes further away.
As for the immortal cultivator who was kneeling beside the demon, he was shocked when he saw this and quickly moved aside to avoid being stained by the demon's blood.
He didn't want to go back and wash another set of clothes.
More importantly, when he was speaking, the feeling of revenge in his heart was shocked by such a bloody scene, and he felt that he would get hurt if he continued to stay next to that demon.
He was really scared, so it was better to stay away. He would not be frightened to faint in front of everyone by a demon that was not attacking him at all. That would be too embarrassing.
Li Hanshuang sat at the top, looking at the demons and immortal cultivators below. He hesitated for a moment, frowned slightly, and asked the immortal cultivator: "Now that his two legs are broken, do you still want to deal with him?"
The immortal cultivator below hesitated for a long while. He really wanted to continue dealing with the situation, but he was afraid that people around him would think he was too cruel. He really did have many other ways, but he was unwilling to just give up.
Therefore, he hesitated, observed the faces of the people around him, then quietly raised his eyes, looked at Li Hanshuang, and whispered slowly: "I hope he can promise not to push me from behind, harass my family, or become like me and use my things at will."
These requests were not excessive at all. Compared with the previous request to break both legs, they were already very mild.
Li Hanshuang looked at Li Baili.
Although Li Baili had said long ago that this demon could be dealt with at will, he was still here after all, and he was the direct leader of the demons. In fact, it was not easy for others to deal with it without his permission, so it was normal to seek his opinion.
The people around didn't think anything of it, they just followed and looked at Li Baili, wondering if he would suddenly get angry or crazy, or change his mind and turn away.
After all, everyone knows that demons usually have no morals.
Therefore, they did not have any special expectations for the Demon Lord. Rather, Li Baili's performance since arriving here had already surprised them.
Li Baili nodded again.
The demon said, "I can promise that I will never look for him again, never change into his appearance, never use his things, and never have anything to do with his family."
The immortal cultivator kneeling beside him frowned slightly when he heard this. He inexplicably felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words for a moment. After thinking about it, he suddenly understood, opened his eyes wide and said, "I want him to swear to the Heavenly Dao too!"
After all, if you only rely on words, with the morality of the demons, I am afraid that they will forget what they said as soon as they turn their heads, and will not care about what they do in the future.
By then, it will be hard to figure out whose fault it is.
If it was the cultivator who did not bring it up, then he can be blamed. If it was Li Hanshuang who failed to supervise and remind, then Li Hanshuang can also be blamed. If it was Li Baili who deliberately did not mention it and was insidious and cunning, then Li Baili can also be blamed.
Even more broadly, one could accuse Li Baili of not being sincere in seeking peace, or say that Penglai Sect had no intention of coexisting peacefully with the demons.
That's a serious crime.
In the final analysis, the culprit can only be the most powerless person. I am afraid that it must be said that it is the fault of the cultivator.
He couldn't give others this opportunity that could put himself to death.
The demon frowned and glanced at the cultivator, clearly showing impatience and a hint of disgust and offense.
But the demon said nothing. He was waiting for Li Baili's opinion.
Obviously, if it weren't for Li Baili, he wouldn't even be here, let alone apologize or break his leg.
He really listened to Li Baili, and the first impression of him by the people around him was not wrong.
Li Baili still nodded.
The demands raised by the immortal cultivators were all very normal. He had originally planned to agree to all the requests, no matter what they made. After all, he was not here to fight.
In fact, the worst possible outcome that he had considered before coming was that the demon would be required to be crushed into meat paste by his own hands, but still alive.
It hasn’t reached that point yet, which is pretty good.
He has no objection.
Li Hanshuang looked at Li Baili seriously, his expression gloomy and unclear.
The demons below swore an oath to heaven. The words they said were no different from before, and the meaning was the same.
For some reason, although the scene of swearing to the heaven was much milder than the scene of breaking a leg, the cultivators who saw this scene still shuddered.
Afterwards, the injured cultivator said with satisfaction: "There is nothing else I want to do."
Although he didn't say that this was enough, from the way he expressed it, he thought that this was enough.
Li Hanshuang asked the others around him, "Does anyone else want to deal with this monster?"
The people around looked at each other and shook their heads.
They are not the parties involved, and they don't have any deep hatred. It's enough to watch this scene. If they continue to deal with anything else, it will appear that they are too cruel and ruthless, as if they are even worse than demons. It is better not to do anything.
Li Hanshuang saw that everyone was shaking their heads and no one was talking. It seemed that the matter could end here. After a moment of silence, he looked at Li Baili and asked coldly, "This is the end of the matter. Do you have anything else to say?"
When the demon heard this, he looked around and slowly crawled towards Li Hanshuang's position with his two arms. He was very skilled at it, as if he had crawled like this many years ago.
Considering that the monsters have different true forms, maybe this monster is really a reptile, and now it has returned to its old ways.
A long bloodstain appeared on the ground.
The cultivators around couldn't help but frown, feeling that the demons were indeed demons and could not be treated as normal people.
Any normal person would not faint from fright at this moment, nor would he remain calm and eager to get close to the person who brought him here and made him look so miserable.
Li Baili smiled and said to Li Hanshuang: "I would like to take this opportunity to discuss with everyone briefly the methods and treaties for peaceful coexistence. After all, empty words are not enough."
Suddenly someone in the audience said angrily, "What do you mean? Are you saying that we cultivators are not as disciplined as you demons? It's obviously you who provoke us every time! Are you blaming us?"
Li Hanshuang narrowed his eyes and looked at the man.
The man stopped talking all of a sudden, and the angry expression on his face gradually froze, like a bowl of lard that was slowly and failing to solidify, turning yellow from white, then black from yellow, revealing a hint of fear.
Li Qinglian looked at the situation and felt secretly anxious.
What happened before was that the demons showed goodwill to the cultivators, and now it’s time for negotiation.
A cultivator should neither show weakness nor be overly rash at this time.
Otherwise, it would be a clear sign to give the demons an handle, telling them that we are a group of stupid and dull people, easily angered, and have no sense of propriety. If you want to fight us, just come and fight us. Anyway, with your intelligence and wisdom, we will definitely not be able to defeat you. When the time comes, you just need to reap the spoils and don't have to worry about anything.
But as soon as the immortal cultivator started to get angry, they, a group of immortal cultivators, were at a disadvantage in the negotiations with the demons and seemed to be in the wrong.
I really shouldn't have let him speak! I should have picked someone to sit next to him, and when he wanted to speak, he would become mute in advance, and then return to normal after a day.
Then nothing will be delayed.
Unfortunately, it's too late to make him mute now.
We can only hope that Li Hanshuang can make some comeback.
Don't let down your guard at this critical moment!
Li Qinglian secretly clenched her hands under the table.
Li Hanshuang's face revealed a very reluctant expression, with a slightly frowned brow and a dark look, but he still spoke to Li Baili, gritting his teeth and said politely: "I am sorry for the offense just now, it is really because I don't know the etiquette, please don't take it to heart! What he said has nothing to do with me, Penglai, and immortal cultivators."
It has nothing to do with me, which means I didn't order it. It has nothing to do with Penglai, which means Penglai has nothing to do with this matter. It has nothing to do with the immortal cultivators, which means that the person just now was not speaking on behalf of the immortal cultivators, but was only speaking on behalf of himself.
Don't lose your mind and take what the immortal cultivator just said as what all immortal cultivators want to say. Go back home immediately. That is what we don't want to see.
Li Baili glanced at the immortal cultivator who had just spoken. His face was pale and he was trembling. He looked terrified. When Li Baili looked at him, his whole body was stiff, like a frightened quail.
Li Baili slowly retracted her gaze, nodded, and smiled at Li Hanshuang: "Since the leader of Penglai Sect has personally apologized to me, let's just let it go."
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they immediately realized that Li Baili emphasized the words "Penglai Sect Leader" in this sentence, as if deliberately reminding Li Hanshuang of her identity.
This is actually a subtle way of expressing dissatisfaction.
When Li Baili finally gained the upper hand, she took the opportunity to humiliate Li Hanshuang.
