Seeing Jiuqing calm down, a hint of disdain flashed in Tianyong's eyes.
They could indeed fight those demons to a standstill, but they suffered too many casualties, and the collapse of the Demon Suppression Hall was definitely related to them.
What kind of powerful demon could summon heavenly lightning?
Tianyong has always been cautious, especially since they clearly had a better option.
"This man is named Jiuqing. He is a traitor to the demon race. Many years ago, he betrayed the demon race and joined us. However, after he was injured, he wanted to use the blood of demon hunters to increase his strength. So I imprisoned him in a death cell, where he never sees the light of day."
"So why was he brought out this time?"
Although it is a spirit, it looks worse than a beggar in the royal city.
Tian Yong said in a deep voice, "The demon race must have been prepared for this. If we are no match for them, they will be the best gift for peace talks."
At the very least, that snake demon will definitely accept it.
After all, his wife died at the hands of Jiuqing.
Seeing the fear in Jiuqing's eyes in the cage, Tianyong's mind calmed down a bit.
He saw that Jiuqing also looked impatient. It was a disgrace to the demon race to have produced such a worthless person.
Even when he was cooperating with Jiuqing, Tianyong didn't think much of him.
Jiuqing, what a pure name, yet he was born in a filthy place, a monster formed from the greed of humankind.
When a spirit transforms into human form, it must possess either strength or good looks. Even if one has average looks, having great strength is still a good thing.
Unfortunately, Jiuqing had none of these traits. Not only was he ugly and weak, but he also inherited the old and weak nature of the human race.
But he's full of bad intentions.
He also proposed to Tianyong the idea of using the bones of spirits to make weapons, in exchange for Tianyong providing him with food.
But the fox demon shattered all his beautiful fantasies.
He told the exorcists about the fox demon's dwelling place, and he was also the one who went to scout it out first.
But Jiuqing never expected that the fox demon would be so cruel. After learning that he had attracted the demon hunter, the demon slit his throat and severed his tendons, leaving him like a cripple.
No matter how hard he tried afterward, it was no use.
He was indeed going to target the demon hunters, because their natural physical abilities would definitely be more useful.
But before he could make a move, Tian Yong ordered his men to capture him and imprison him in a dark and gloomy place, where he suffered endless torture.
Tian Yong never believed him in the first place.
"Peace talks? Are we going to compromise with those monsters?"
Before the young demon hunters could ask any questions, Tianxuan, who had followed Tianyong for many years, couldn't hold back any longer.
Monsters and spirits eat and harm people; how cruel they are! If we were to compromise with them, who knows what price we would have to pay?
"Tianxuan," Tianyong said coldly, "this is only temporary."
"The people in the city are starting to panic. You need to understand that everything changed the moment the Demon Suppression Hall collapsed."
It is because of the existence of spirits and monsters that demon hunters came into being, and it is for this reason that they worship gods.
“I know, but those who died…”
"It is precisely because I do not want any more people to die that I have decided to negotiate with the demon race," Tian Yong interrupted him.
"Alright, no need to say any more. Send someone to deliver this gift to that snake demon."
Tian Yong naturally had no need to fear the demon race, but he also knew that if he were to capture demons on a large scale at this time, it would first cause panic among the people, and second, the monsters would fight to the death.
At that time, it was the humans who suffered.
After all, the demon race will never be extinct; as long as there is demonic energy to nurture them, they will continue to thrive.
Thinking of his previous plan to go to Wushan, Tianyong sighed inwardly. It seemed that there was no chance now.
Amidst Jiu Qing's incessant roars, the people who had previously brought him out of the death row were preparing to send him out again.
The terrifying old woman was somewhat deranged, her fierce gaze fixed on the group of exorcists ahead.
After all, he knew that if the other demon races found out what he had done, he would not have an easy time.
——
Wushan.
Before the massacre, life in Wushan was always repetitive, day after day, year after year.
Almost nothing has ever changed, and he has never grown tired of it.
But after meeting Liuyin, he was surprised to find that time was passing so quickly that it would often get dark before he could even react.
Another day has passed.
"Will you feel lonely staying here with me?"
When the man asked this question, he stared intently at Liu Yin's face.
He knew Liu Yin was beautiful, but he hadn't seen many people with her before, so he didn't really grasp the concept. However, the fact that so many people were looking at her in the royal city made him very uncomfortable.
After experiencing the hustle and bustle of the capital, wouldn't it be boring to stay in Wushan with him?
A smile appeared on Liu Yin's face as she softly asked, "Is this how you use the word 'loneliness'?"
"If I were alone in Wushan, I would probably feel lonely, but now I have you."
Liu Yin placed her hand on her belly again, smiling gently, "We'll have our child in the future."
She didn't know why men kept asking her this question lately.
Let's just say it's the anxiety of becoming a father soon; it seems I'm not busy enough on weekdays.
"That's true."
Tu Lu leaned in and gently kissed Liu Yin's cheek, saying softly, "And our child."
Hot breath hit my cheeks, causing the surrounding skin to flush slightly.
With seductive eyes, Liu Yin hooked her arm around the man's neck and said sweetly, "How about you be gentle tonight?"
Upon being looked at by Liu Yin, the man's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he said with restraint, "Not yet."
When the willow tree spirit came to this area, Tu Lu asked him about the woman's pregnancy. He had been in that town for so long, he should have seen some things.
This stumped Bu Yi. Ordinary women carry a child for ten months, but he had never seen a demon pregnant in all these years.
After all, he hadn't actually seen that many spirits or monsters.
She didn't want to slaughter, but she kept the ten months of pregnancy in her heart. How long is ten months? It must be a long time.
But seeing Liuyin's belly growing bigger every day, Tulu couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Therefore, although he had not been close to Liuyin for some time, he still refrained from slaughtering her.
"Just be gentle, or go even slower."
Liu Yin spoke tentatively, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Seeing Tu Lu's restrained expression, Liu Yin reluctantly looked up and kissed him.
That's the only thing he didn't like about her. It was all fine at the beginning, wasn't it?
Tu Lu suddenly grabbed Liu Yin's waist, his breathing becoming rapid. "Be gentle."
As if to remind himself, he repeated the sentence again.
In a daze, Tu Lu could feel that Liu Yin had scratched his back a few times.
It didn't hurt, just a little itchy, starting from the outside and extending to the inside, and he couldn't help but itch.
