Hearing Fuxi's words, Hu Le chuckled coldly and said, "Oh, so according to Senior, all of this is my fault?"
Fuxi shook his head and chuckled, "I didn't say that. You're overthinking it, young friend."
"Haha... I understand what you mean, senior. I also know that now that you've stepped in, I can no longer do anything to our Demon Emperor."
"There's just one thing I hope you can understand, senior: because of this Demon Emperor, our Heavenly Court has suffered such great losses. If he doesn't pay a certain price, even if I wanted to give up, the entire Heavenly Court probably wouldn't agree."
Hu Le understood Fu Xi's thoughts and, unwilling to beat around the bush, laid it all out directly.
Fuxi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He was also afraid that Hu Le would insist on going his own way and keep arguing with Di Jun. In that case, he would have no choice but to personally intervene as the peacemaker.
We can't just watch Di Jun get killed.
But if we take action, it might attract the attention of Taiichi and his wife, which would make things even more difficult to handle...
Fuxi nodded slightly to Hu Le, then looked at Di Jun, regardless of whether he was convinced or not, and forced him to express his opinion.
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, you've heard what my young friend said. Do you have any objections?"
Di Jun certainly had a lot to say.
However, Fuxi suddenly transmitted a message to him: "Fellow Daoist, do not forget that in the starry sky, our demon army has already fallen into a disadvantageous position. If we continue to delay, the consequences for them will be dire. If they are completely wiped out this time, you, the Demon Emperor... alas..."
When Di Jun heard Fu Xi mention the demon army, he remembered that a fierce battle was still raging there, and his heart skipped a beat.
After calming down, Di Jun knew that his only hope now was Fuxi. Even though he was quite unwilling, he still said with a cold face, "I did not think this matter very well. I should not have led the troops to attack the Heavenly Court."
He knew very well that he had started the war, a fact he could not deny no matter where he went.
Moreover, the demon army in the primordial starry sky is under siege by the Heavenly Court and the human race. The longer he delays here, the more dangerous the situation may become.
He simply couldn't afford to delay any longer.
The only thing to do now is to find a way to end this war that is detrimental to him as soon as possible.
Anyway, as long as he doesn't die this time, he will definitely have another chance to get revenge in the future.
If all else fails, we can just start another game in the future...
Di Jun outwardly yielded, which pleased Fuxi greatly. He then looked at Hu Le and smiled, "Young friend, you've seen it too. Fellow Daoist Di Jun already knows he was wrong. Do you still intend to kill him?"
Hu Le shook his head and laughed, "I've always kept to myself and the Demon Emperor, so why would I want to go against him? Isn't all of this just something I was forced into?"
Since the Demon Emperor has acknowledged his mistake, I certainly won't press him further.
But his admission of wrongdoing alone is probably not enough. After all, this time, too many immortals and gods of both the Heavenly Court and the human race have perished. If the Demon Emperor doesn't give a concrete explanation, even as the ruler of the Heavenly Court and the king of the human tribes, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer to my subordinates."
"So what kind of explanation do you want?" Fuxi asked with a smile.
He knew that if Di Jun and the demon race wanted to get through this ordeal, they would have to bleed heavily.
Hu Le didn't waste any words, "I won't bully him. As long as he's willing to hand over ten innate spiritual treasures, a hundred innate spiritual roots, ten thousand units of gold, crystal, and jade, and one hundred thousand dan of various rare and precious materials..."
As Hu Le made his various demands, both Di Jun and Fu Xi's expressions darkened...
"Young friend, you...you've gone a bit too far."
Finally, Fuxi said with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
The first requirement alone would be impossible with ten innate spiritual treasures.
It's not that the demon race can't produce it; they can scrape together enough. Whether they can produce it or not is a different matter from whether they have to compensate the Heavenly Court.
Even if compensation is required, this is an outrageous demand...
Hu Le didn't expect them to comply, but instead looked at Fuxi and Dijun with a smile and asked, "How much do you want to give? If it's too much, you two don't need to say anything."
"You must understand that these things are not for me, but are meant to appease the Heavenly Court and the human race."
He was telling the truth; he didn't lack spiritual treasures.
In the entire prehistoric world, among all cultivators, there are probably few who possess more spiritual treasures than him.
It wasn't that he looked down on Fu Xi and Di Jun; the combined wealth of the two of them might not even equal his.
Among the vast demon race, perhaps only the goddess Nuwa could rival him...
Next, the two sides began to bargain. Remembering that the demon army in the starry sky was still being suppressed by the Heavenly Court and the human army, Di Jun and Fu Xi did not want to delay for too long. In order to stop the war as soon as possible and let the demon army get out of the quagmire.
Di Jun had to bleed a lot of money to finally settle things with Hu Le...
After the two sides reached an agreement, Hu Le was not afraid that the two would go back on their word. He first returned the Hetu Luoshu and Xuan Guang Ruler, which were suppressed in the Five-Colored Divine Light, to Di Jun. Then the three of them returned to the Starry Sky Battlefield together.
At this moment, the fighting on the battlefield was still raging.
The decline of the demon race became increasingly apparent, with several members of the Heavenly Court and the human race besieging a single demon.
"Alright! Everyone, please stop!"
Fuxi shouted and pointed, shooting out a black and white chaotic crystal light from his fingertip. The light arrived in the sky above the center of the battlefield and suddenly exploded, transforming into countless innate Bagua diagrams, dividing the entire battlefield into countless parts.
Upon seeing this turn of events, everyone immediately stopped their attacks and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Then the three of them walked into the battlefield side by side.
Hu Le walked to the edge of the battlefield, then summoned back Yuanfu Immortal and Chisongzi, and gave the order to withdraw the troops.
"This... Your Majesty, if we continue, we will surely be able to annihilate the demon race in one battle. Why give up halfway?" Relying on his relationship with Hu Le, Taibai Jinxing stepped forward and asked the question on behalf of everyone.
Hu Le lowered his eyelids and sighed, "Perhaps the demon race's fate is not yet exhausted, and it shouldn't be destroyed at this time."
"But did Fuxi and Nuwa get involved?" Chisongzi stepped forward and asked.
He naturally recognized Fuxi and knew about the relationship between Fuxi and his sister and the demon race. Having just witnessed Fuxi taking action to divide the battlefield, he could easily guess what had happened.
"More than that, there are many fellow cultivators who don't want the demon race to be wiped out by our hands..."
Upon hearing this, Hu Le suddenly sneered and glanced up at the deep void in the darkness.
Previously, when Fuxi appeared, he had already sensed many familiar auras lingering above the three of them.
Among them are the Three Pure Ones of the Xuanmen, as well as Jieyin and Zhunti, and even the Styx Ancestor, the Red Cloud Ancestor, and other innate deities of the divine race.
Their aura was so blatantly displayed, carrying a faint but undeniable pressure, without any attempt at concealment. Wasn't their meaning obvious?
