Hu Le and Di Jun met again on the battlefield, exchanged a glance, and didn't have any particular thoughts.
After all, they had only met once before and didn't have much of a relationship.
The two greeted each other, but remained silent.
After a short while, Hu Le spoke up: "Your Majesty, as you probably already know, the sinners Zhu Rong and Gong Gong have both been dismissed by the Emperor. This battle will be temporarily led by Brother Kunyang and me."
The reason I've come is to ask Your Majesty a question..."
"Oh? What is it? Go ahead and ask," Di Jun asked calmly.
"Next, whether our two clans should fight or make peace, we hope Your Majesty can come up with a plan!" Hu Le asked bluntly.
Everyone is vying for the innate sacredness, fighting for the Great Dao and destiny, cultivating the Primordial Immortality, not being politicians, so there's no need for any veiled attacks.
Seeing Hu Le's directness, Di Jun looked at him with a half-smile, "Oh, what kind of plan do you want, young friend? What about war? What about peace?"
Hu chuckled, showing no sign of cowardice despite his desire to make peace.
"What else can we do? Whether it's war or peace, we will naturally fight to the end and will not disappoint Your Majesty."
Before Di Jun could speak, the Kunpeng behind him couldn't hold back any longer. It urged its mount forward and shouted, "Boy! You're just a junior at the thirty-something level of Qi Refining, and you haven't even condensed the Five Qi in your chest yet, but you have quite the nerve to talk big. You want to fight against my demon race? Do you even have the strength?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Le shook his head slightly, not even glancing at Kunpeng, nor responding to his words, but simply staring intently at Di Jun.
"Whether to fight or make peace, we hope Your Majesty will decide with a single word."
Upon seeing this, Kunpeng felt immensely humiliated, "Junior! You..."
"Enough! Demon Master, you may leave now."
Di Jun coldly interrupted Kunpeng, waving his hand impatiently at him, clearly displeased.
I am the Demon Emperor! How dare you, Kunpeng, a mere demon master, overstep your bounds?
Do you even have the right to interrupt when the two coaches are speaking?
They really don't understand any rules.
Didn't you see that even that junior on the other side is too lazy to pay attention to you?
Moreover, don't think everyone can't see that you, old man, have no good intentions at all. You'd love for the two sides to fight each other to the death.
"His Majesty……"
Kunpeng looked indignant and was about to say something when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the coldness on Dijun's face and the chilling light deep in his eyes.
His heart sank, and he immediately stopped speaking, letting out a soft hum as he slowly retreated...
"Young friend, let's not discuss whether to fight or make peace for now. I have a question for you, and I hope you can answer it truthfully."
"What is it? Please ask, senior. There's no need to be so polite."
"But I wonder how my children are doing in your country?"
Di Jun did not continue to dwell on the issue of war or peace, but instead changed the subject and asked about the situation of the little golden crows.
Hu Le laughed heartily, flicked his sleeve, and several golden rays flew out from his sleeve and drifted towards Di Jun.
Everyone could see clearly that the golden light contained the little golden crows, who were currently unconscious.
Those on the demon side, including Di Jun, were all greatly surprised to see this scene.
Di Jun paused for a moment, then raised his hand to pull the little golden crows to his side. He scanned them with his divine sense and checked them over, finding that the nine little creatures were merely asleep and there was nothing wrong with them.
They immediately summoned some demon gods from behind to take the little golden crows back to the camp and settle them in.
"Young friend, what do you mean by this?"
When Di Jun saw that Hu Le released the person without mentioning any conditions, he couldn't help but feel that this young man was straightforward and honest.
As expected of His Majesty Taiyi's disciple, his expression and tone became much gentler.
Hu Le bowed slightly to Di Jun on his celestial horse and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it was those two traitors, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, who were in the wrong back then."
It would be one thing for our two sides to fight a decisive battle on the battlefield, with real swords and spears, and even some cunning tactics would be acceptable. But to capture His Majesty's family members and use them to threaten His Majesty is going too far.
If word gets out, wouldn't others think that our human race is inferior to your demon race, unable to defeat you head-on, and thus resorting to such underhanded tricks? This would only make people look down on the strength and character of our human race.
This isn't the modern era, where people would stop at nothing to win. Threatening someone with their family is outrageous; they wouldn't even blink if they dug their ancestors out of their coffins...
Upon hearing this, Di Jun nodded slightly. Face is something that is given to each other, and Di Jun was not the kind of person who would hold a grudge even if he was in the right.
He then smiled and said, "Good! Young friend, you are indeed upright and honest, unlike Gonggong, who was a petty person. It is clear that His Majesty the Human Emperor has a discerning eye in entrusting the Gonggong tribe to you, and has not entrusted the wrong person."
Over the years, both sides have shed enough blood.
I suppose my friend, like me, doesn't want this pointless war to continue any longer...
He completely forgot that he was the one who started this war...
Following Di Jun's words, Hu Le sighed and said, "Yes! Our two clans have already lost enough sons in this war. If it continues, will we have to bleed our two clans dry?"
Hu Le said this because he knew it was just wishful thinking on his part.
At this time, the conflict between humans and demons was merely for some interests or grudges.
But later, after both sides suppressed or incorporated other races in the prehistoric world, they would still compete for the position of the protagonist of the prehistoric world.
By then, it won't be this kind of small-scale activity anymore.
Instead, it requires the entire clan's forces to fight a decisive battle to determine who is superior.
However, whether it is the battle between gods and demons or the struggle between humans and demons, the curtain has only just been raised.
The real climax is far from over...
The rest was straightforward. Since both sides were willing to cease hostilities and Hu Le had taken the initiative to extend goodwill, Di Jun readily agreed and prepared to negotiate peace with the human race...
After several days of negotiations between the two sides, with each side making concessions, a peace agreement was finally reached.
This conflict thus came to an abrupt end...
The demons returned to their camp, and at Di Jun's command, they immediately broke camp and fled.
On the way back to the Sun Palace, Di Jun summoned Bai Ze to his side and had a private talk.
"Your Majesty, are we really just going to let this go like this?"
Di Jun sighed, "What else can we do? I never expected that in just a few hundred thousand years, the strength of the human race has increased so much. My demon race has used almost half of its strength, but we still haven't been able to take down even two human tribes."
Moreover, there are those with ulterior motives among our people, making it impossible to achieve unity of purpose.
What can I, as the Demon Emperor, do?
Bai Ze sighed repeatedly upon hearing this.
He was also shocked by the growth of the human race's strength.
As for the "treacherous" people that Di Jun mentioned, he knew it all too well.
Everyone in the demon race knows that since the establishment of the demon race, the Kunpeng Ancestor has always coveted the position of Demon Emperor. He has also secretly won over a group of demon sages and often opposes Di Jun openly and secretly.
In the beginning, the demon race had just been established, and Di Jun, in order to show his magnanimity, did not do anything to Kunpeng.
But as time goes by, Kunpeng and his group have become increasingly arrogant, gradually showing signs of becoming too powerful to control...
Now, what the demon race needs most is to increase its strength and completely subdue Kunpeng.
This is also why Di Jun summoned Bai Ze; he wanted to get some reliable advice from him...
...
Human settlement.
Hu Le sat upright in the central command tent, while Ju Long and the others, tightly bound, knelt in a row, awaiting his judgment...
