Today, only Baishan and Heishui remain as high-ranking shamans in the Gonggong tribe. There are only about twenty other high-ranking military and political figures left behind.
Everyone paid their respects to Hu Le, and all of them behaved with great deference.
This surprised Hu Le himself.
He had thought that some people would still be dissatisfied with his new post and would try to challenge him.
Surprisingly, everything went smoothly and nothing happened.
This shows that Gonggong was not very popular among the tribe.
Little did he know that those who remained here were all marginal figures in the tribe's power structure. Gonggong's true confidants were either on the battlefield or following him to the ancestral home of the human race to accomplish great things...
Hu Le quickly issued his first order as clan leader.
As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be proper. The most important thing now is to convey the news of his appointment as chieftain to the entire tribe.
The group obeyed and left. Soon, the news spread throughout the tribe, causing a huge uproar.
But that's all for the future.
After delivering the order, Hu Le didn't linger but rushed to the front line without stopping.
On this day, he arrived at the military camp, dismissed Yun Guang, and was welcomed inside by the elders of the human race, including Chi Songzi.
In recent days, the demon race has attacked several times and almost snatched back the little golden crows.
Left with no other choice, they had to temporarily remove the little golden crow from the flagpole outside the gate and keep it in the military camp, where they assigned skilled guards to watch over it.
As for releasing the person or negotiating with Dijun, they cannot make that decision yet.
Although they are elders of the human race and seem to hold high positions and great power, they might not be unable to make decisions on such matters under normal circumstances.
But the situation is different now. A major rebellion has just broken out within the human race. They should be acting cautiously, so how could they dare to make such a big decision?
Just a few days ago, they welcomed Kunyang, the new chieftain of the Zhurong tribe.
This was once one of the elders of the ancestral land.
Now, he has been fortunate enough to be chosen by the Queen of Heaven to become the chief of the Zhurong tribe.
Chisongzi and the others were extremely envious when they saw that the other party had actually become the chief of one of the major tribes, and from then on could wield power and gain good fortune.
But who could blame him when this person was a confidant of the Emperor?
Upon Kunyang's arrival, Chisongzi and the others immediately handed over the decision-making power to him.
When Chisongzi asked whether to fight or make peace next, Kunyang shook his head repeatedly.
He openly told them that the matter was of great importance and that he could not make a decision on his own. He needed to wait for the arrival of the new chieftain of the Gonggong tribe to discuss it further.
So, they held their camp tightly, hanging a truce sign outside the gate, waiting only for Hu Le's arrival...
Upon seeing Hu Le, they were all immediately relieved.
After inviting him into the tent, everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while before finally getting down to business, inquiring about Hu Le's plans for the war.
Hu Le pondered for a moment before turning to Kun Yang and saying, "Our two tribes not only lost our clan leader, but also many great shamans. What we should do now is to recuperate and rebuild our strength. It is really not advisable to fight again."
In my opinion, it would be better to make peace with the demon race for the time being, and both sides should stop fighting and withdraw their troops.
Kunyang also urgently needed to return to reorganize the tribe and completely seize control of it, so he naturally had no intention of continuing to fight to the death with Dijun and the others.
Hearing Hu Le's words, he couldn't help but raise both hands in agreement.
"Fellow Daoist is quite right!" Kunyang nodded in agreement, then turned to Chisongzi and the others, asking, "What do you elders think?"
Chisongzi and the others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
They were all orthodox Qi cultivators of the divine race, single-mindedly seeking to comprehend the Great Dao, and not warmongers, so of course they did not want to continue the war.
Anyway, with their current strength, they can't wipe out the demon race, and the human race isn't facing a life-or-death crisis, so why stay here and continue to fight Di Jun and the others!
With that time and energy, wouldn't it be better to go back and refine two batches of pills and consecrate a spiritual treasure?
"The Divine Lord's suggestion is certainly good, but I wonder what Emperor Jun thinks?" Chisongzi said in the end.
Upon hearing this, Kunyang frowned and turned to look at Hu Le.
Hu Le remained expressionless and said calmly, "That is also a problem, but since we have already reached a consensus, we should also meet with the Demon Emperor before discussing it further."
Whether it's war or peace, let it be. I'll be there to fight to the end.
Then he continued, "Fellow Daoists, why don't you come with me to the front lines tomorrow and meet Di Jun? What do you say?"
Kunyang and Chisongzi both nodded in agreement...
Hu Le said no more. After everyone left, he pushed up his hair bun, revealing a cloud of auspicious clouds on his head.
Like flowing water, the light of the clouds swirled around the Three Flowers. A flawless jade seal hung above the Three Flowers, radiating boundless light that illuminated the entire human camp.
This seal is none other than the Emperor's most precious treasure, the Kongtong Seal. Hu Le borrowed it from Empress Jin De specifically for today.
Kunyang and Chisongzi had not gone far at this time, and when they saw the jade seal with its radiant glow, they were both astonished.
"I never expected His Majesty to lend him even this treasure!"
Kunyang shook his head with a wry smile. They were all newly appointed tribal chiefs, but their treatment under His Majesty the Human Emperor was vastly different...
Of course, he had already understood this, which is why he was so humble before, acting as if he followed Hu Le's lead.
The elders, including Chishongzi, were speechless upon seeing this...
...
A hundred miles away, in the demon camp,
Emperor Jun was sitting in the central command tent, resting with his eyes closed, when suddenly a thought struck him. He looked up through the tent and saw the auspicious cloud above the human camp, as well as the Kongtong Seal hanging on the cloud.
He had already heard about the changes that had occurred in the ancestral home of the human race, and he knew that Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were now things of the past.
Seeing the auspicious clouds rising opposite him, he discerned Hu Le's identity after a moment's thought.
"Is this kid trying to intimidate me?"
He muttered something to himself, then pushed up the golden crown on his head, revealing auspicious clouds. Above the Three Flowers and Five Qi, the Hetu and Luoshu were suspended, radiating countless rays of light and thousands of auspicious energies, enveloping the entire demon camp...
The next day, early morning.
The thin mist between heaven and earth had just dissipated, and the cold, fresh air drifted in from the riverbank. The gentle breeze rippled, but it could not dispel the grim atmosphere of the battlefield.
Both sides also put away Qingyun.
After three cannon shots, a series of rapid gong sounds rang out, and the gates of the human camp were opened.
Holding a bamboo staff and riding a magnificent celestial horse, Hu Le slowly walked towards the demon camp opposite, surrounded by elders such as Kunyang and Chisongzi.
At the same time, a golden chariot of the sun also drove out from the demon camp, with Bai Ze and other great demon saints following behind on their respective mounts.
Finally, the two sides met in the center of the battlefield.
Di Jun stepped out of the golden sun chariot and stood on it, looking at Hu Le.
Hu Le smiled slightly, spurred his horse forward a few steps, and took the lead in greeting, "Your Majesty! We meet again!"
"Yes! I just didn't expect it to happen under these circumstances..."
Di Jun's feelings were rather complicated...
