The salty sea breeze blew across the vast sea, stirring up snow-white waves.
This was the palace of the Eleventh Sea Lord, standing majestically on a small island. In the past, ordinary demonic beasts were forbidden to approach this palace, and the Eleventh Sea Lord would indulge in song and dance here all night long. But now, the top powers of the two clans had gathered here to discuss the specific terms of the agreement.
Venerable Hao Xingzi and Patriarch Gui Yan were more adept at such matters, so Xuan Lingzi sat aside and didn't get involved too much. Elder Du Juetian also sat aside, his expression calm, his emotions hidden.
Yin Ji's brows were furrowed tightly, her pair of snake pupils already condensed into lines, emitting a faint green light. She said in a firm tone: "Human race, you have already destroyed Haoming's demon pill, and you still want Xingwei's demon pill? This is absolutely impossible!"
In order to avoid embarrassing Xing Wei, he was not present when the agreement was reached.
Venerable Yuqingzi raised his eyebrows and said, "This is our bottom line."
Yin Ji narrowed her eyes at her, then turned to look at Hao Xingzi and said, "The demonic realm east of the Eleventh Sea can be handed over to the human race. Every ten years, we can also pay tribute to the human race. We have no objection to the thousand Jade Pearls from the Fourth Sea and the ten thousand Longevity Woods from the Second Sea."
Hao Xingzi asked, "Are you unwilling to compromise on the matter of Xing Wei?"
A bright red, pointed snake tongue emerged from the mouth of the beautiful and enchanting demon lord, making a hissing sound. Yin Ji's eyes had already turned dark green with anger. She tried her best to calm down and said coldly, "This is absolutely impossible!"
In fact, both sides are very clear about what the human race wants to do.
Hao Ming wasn't a divine beast. His demon core was destroyed, not stolen. From this point on, his cultivation level would inevitably fall below the ninth level, possibly even to the eighth level! His lifespan would also be greatly shortened.
It would be a great thing if the four great demon lords of the demon race, Du Jue Tian Lao, could fall. However, the human race knew that such a request must not be made, as it would only make peace between the two races impossible. Therefore, a middle ground that was beneficial to both the human race and the demon race and acceptable to them must be found.
That is to shatter the demon pills of both Xing Wei and Hao Ming.
Even though she had reached the peak of the Earth Rank, Yin Ji's greatest strength wasn't her strength, but her wisdom. Xing Wei and Hao Ming were truly the primary combat power of the Demon Realm. If their demon cores were destroyed, the demon race would be greatly weakened, unable to contend with humans for at least a thousand years, and would be forced to surrender.
The war only lasted a few months and was started by the human race, but the demon race had to admit defeat.
The first long-term peace in 30,000 years may be about to be achieved. Both sides are striving for more benefits for themselves, so they must be more cautious and take every step carefully.
On the morning of the seventy-sixth day, the demons finally reached an agreement with the humans. The humans occupied all territory eastward from the Twelfth Sea. If the demons wished to enter the Thirty-Six States, they would need human permission. Every hundred years, the demons would pay tribute to the humans, and at the same time... they would be allowed to shatter Xing Wei's demon pill.
Just as the matter was settled, someone outside the door came running in, shouting, "Oh no, oh no! The Xing Wei Demon Lord has escaped!"
Xuan Lingzi's eyes turned cold as he looked at Yin Ji, who raised her hand to cover her red lips and smiled softly, "Xing Wei isn't that big, dumb guy like Hao Ming. He naturally knew that we kept him out and were discussing things on our own. So what we were discussing must be related to him. Isn't it normal for him to arrange one or two spies among us to tip him off?"
Xuan Lingzi ignored Yin Ji completely. With a tap of his toes, his figure disappeared in the hall.
The smile on Yin Ji's face instantly faded. She was about to get up and chase him, but was stopped by Du Jue Tian Lao. Yin Ji looked uncertainly at the white-haired old man in front of her, only to see his face darken as he said calmly, "If Xing Wei can really escape, then it's his fate. If he can't escape... that's also his fate."
As soon as Elder Du Juetian finished speaking, a green figure quickly rushed out of the hall.
When Xuan Lingzi chased after him, Luo Jianqing didn't react. By the time he realized what was happening, Xuan Lingzi had already disappeared. A thin layer of sweat began to form on Luo Jianqing's forehead. He expanded his spiritual awareness and began to search for Xuan Lingzi. Then he suddenly looked towards the southwest and immediately chased after him.
Xing Wei has now transformed into his original form and quickly escaped from the Eleventh Sea, heading deep into the demon realm.
Of the four great demon lords, if Du Jue Tian Lao's thoughts were secretive and unknown, Yin Ji was cunning and meticulous, and Hao Ming was rough and foolish, not particular about details, then Xing Wei was definitely the most cunning. Just like when he bullied Jin Li all those years ago, he always stood behind Hao Ming and would not easily let himself take the initiative.
This time, the two tribes actually wanted him to retreat during the negotiation, which already explained a lot of problems.
Xing Wei took some effort to place his men in place, but after a few days, he received the news that Yin Ji agreed to let the human race destroy her demon pill.
Why!
Xing Wei has risked his life for the demon race, so why should he allow humans to directly shatter his demon pill?
Could it be that Du Jue Tian Lao is actually afraid of the human race?
The two tribes had been fighting for 30,000 years, and at this moment, the demon tribe was actually going to surrender to the other side and sacrifice themselves!
Xing Wei would never agree to such a thing. If he lost his demon core, he might only have two to three thousand years left to live. At the same time, his realm would drop from the peak of the Earth Rank to the ninth or even eighth Rank. From then on, there would no longer be a Demon Lord Xing Wei, only a Demon Beast Xing Wei.
This is something Xing Wei would never allow.
Xing Wei mobilized all his demonic power and fled frantically. A black demonic wind swept across the sea, disappearing into the sea in the blink of an eye. However, just as Xing Wei was about to escape to the tenth sea, he heard a sound of breaking air from behind him.
