The friction between the two sides gradually escalated. The Giants were always arrogant and didn't bother to explain anything to the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm, but the Xuanhuang Realm's counterattack was unexpectedly swift.
Several elders from the Xuanhuang Realm at the star cluster level, disregarding their dignity, launched a capture operation against the giants patrolling the outer area on the east side of the empire.
Moreover, their capture operations showed no signs of stopping. Even though the giants took relevant defensive measures, they were unable to stop the capture operations of the Xuanhuang Realm.
The giants naturally refused to be outdone. Since the other party had captured their people, they would retaliate and head directly to the garrison area of the Xuanhuang Realm.
This operation was led by a giant of the star cluster level, who started to capture the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm.
However, both sides were relatively restrained and only arrested people without causing any casualties.
However, as time went on, it became clear that this stalemate was unsustainable.
Both sides have invested a lot of energy in capturing each other and have no time to take care of the situation in the central area of the Matrix Galaxy, which means that they may miss the opportunity to divide this "big cake".
So, the giants and the Xuanhuang Realm decided to start negotiations.
The Giant's Son contacted the Giant's Father to ask for his opinion on the terms of the negotiations.
The Giant Father said solemnly, "Propose the conditions of exchanging prisoners and returning the occupied territory. Child, you must promptly and properly resolve the dispute with the Xuanhuang Realm."
"The follow-up force is ready and heading towards you. You must quell this rebellion and restore peace to the universe."
"Yes, father," the giant's son responded firmly.
On this day, the Giants and the Xuanhuang Realm gathered together and built a simple platform in the void.
After the two sides arrived, the Xuanhuang Realm's Jianhen Patriarch took the lead in attacking, his tone filled with dissatisfaction and questioning: "What exactly do you giants mean?"
"Stop our vanguard and prevent them from leaving the east side of the Matrix Galaxy. Do you really think you can act recklessly and tyrannically in this universe?"
The Giant's Son listened and a faint smile appeared on his face.
In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with all this. After all, maintaining peace in the universe was the mission given to them by the Lord of the Planes.
So, he responded calmly: "Jianhen, we are old acquaintances."
"Let's stop talking nonsense and exchange the prisoners directly. Return the territory. Don't waste time. By the way, my father has already ordered that he will not stop you from now on."
Ancestor Jianhen sneered and said sarcastically, "Haha, if you say so, I should thank you? You giants are really going too far!"
The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became tense again, and they fell into a standoff. Fortunately, the other ancestors of the Xuanhuang Realm were more restrained, knowing well the arrogant temperament of the giants.
Ancestor Lingxiao hurried forward to stop Ancestor Jianhen, then turned to the giant's son and said in a deep voice, "Do you really want to make things so out of control? Are you sure your father means the same thing?"
The Son of Giant did not respond to the question from Ancestor Lingxiao, but just waved his hand.
Immediately afterwards, thousands of imprisoned monks were escorted out.
Upon seeing this, Patriarch Lingxiao's breathing quickened a little, but he ultimately suppressed his inner emotions without making a sound.
He looked at the other ancestors beside him, and seeing that they had no objection, he gestured slightly to a cultivator beside him.
The monk understood what he meant and immediately turned around and left.
Not long after, the giant captives were brought up, and hundreds of giants were brought before everyone.
The Giant's Son breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the giants were in good condition, and then signaled to start the exchange.
In this prisoner exchange, the giants were apparently well cared for, but the fate of the captured monks was very different.
The exchange process between the two sides appeared to be going smoothly.
But when the captured monks returned to their own camp, they told about their terrible experiences at the hands of the giants.
It turned out that after the giants captured them, they basically ignored them.
Fortunately, the storage bag was not taken away by the giant, otherwise they would have starved to death long ago.
The monks informed several ancestors of this situation, and the ancestors reacted differently. Among them, the emotion of Ancestor Jianhen was the most obvious, but he suddenly became quiet. It was obvious that the several ancestors were communicating secretly.
Soon, the exchange of prisoners was completed. The Giant's Son said, "Okay, you can go now."
However, none of the ancestors took any action, but instead signaled the monks to leave first.
The Son of Giant was not stupid and immediately noticed something was wrong, but he was not afraid. In an instant, five star cluster-level giants appeared beside him.
Seeing this scene, several ancestors remained calm.
After the monks left, they looked at the giants and said slowly, "Don't be so nervous. We are not here to fight you."
"Instead, an invitation to the Trade Star Realm has appeared. Several of our major factions have received invitations, and among them are the light cores you need. Why did your father send you here without even mentioning this to you?"
After hearing this, the Giant's son asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What do you mean?"
"There's nothing special about it. I just want to give you a message." After saying that, several ancestors left, leaving the giant's son standing there with a face full of resentment.
Several ancestors returned to the occupied area of Xuanhuang Realm and walked straight into the palace.
As soon as he stepped in, Patriarch Jianhen couldn't help but burst into laughter and said excitedly: "Did you see the expression on the giant's son's face? It was so funny. He was so angry that he died. He deserved it!"
Elder Ling Xiao nodded in agreement, but then sighed and said, "We originally wanted to detain the giant's son as a bargaining chip, but we didn't expect them to be so cautious and actually sent so many star cluster-level giants to escort him."
