Chapter 168 167. Epilogue and Outpost (I)

"solved."

"A quarter of an hour later, he brought people over."

"If you have no objection, go and get ready."

"Manpower, venue, conditions, bottom line."

"When you're almost ready, tell me."

"Let me also grasp the balance."

Ye Qingcang brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes and looked at Yang Haoyu, Yang Haohan, Li Zhengzhi, Shengyue, Sanshui and others. Seeing that the high-level officials of the Holy Temple Alliance did not move, he raised his eyebrows thoughtfully: "Why, do you still have questions... or do you want to negotiate on your own and bargain with Fengxiu relatively freely?"

"Senior Ye has misunderstood..." Yang Haohan, the Lord of the Knights' Temple and the leader of the Temple Alliance, hastily denied it upon hearing this. Any negotiation is based on strength. With the strength that the Demon King Feng Xiu just showed, it can be said that this negotiation opportunity was entirely won by Ye Qingcang alone. If Ye Qingcang left, even if they negotiated, they would not have the confidence to slam the table and curse at the demons: "We just want to congratulate you on your triumphant return..."

"Forget it, if you have something to say, just say it." Ye Qingcang instantly heard the hypocrisy of Yang Haohan, and sneered, not giving face to Yang Haohan and his group at all: "Before, you called me Mr. Ye Qingcang, but now you're a senior; returning in triumph is even more bullshit, at most I didn't lose; in fact, I gave you a chance before, and I didn't speak, which was tacitly allowing you to play the emotional card. If Lan Yanyu and Sheng Lingxin realized their mistakes in time, Cai'er would be willing to forgive them, and even if she was just a little hesitant, I would turn a blind eye for Cai'er's sake; but you just missed the opportunity to keep Cai'er, so the relationship between us is just a trading partner... The way you are now, you are so arrogant at first and respectful later, it's funny to think about it, so don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

Ye Qingcang has always been polite before using force.

Now, since etiquette doesn’t work, we have no choice but to use military force.

Now that the troops have been mobilized, it is obvious that they will do it the most direct way.

Save face?
Want to eat shit?

Even Yang Haohan, the leader of the Temple Alliance and the Lord of the Knights Temple, turned red and blue due to Ye Qingcang's sarcasm, not to mention Sheng Yue and others standing behind Yang Haohan.

However, no matter how ugly their faces were, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only endure it for the sake of the upcoming overall situation. Moreover, they had no choice but to admit that the problem did lie with them.

Ye Qingcang was right.

At most, the words are a bit sharp.

So, Yang Haohan sighed and continued to explain: "Senior Ye, to be honest, we don't trust the demons. Compared with the demons' promises, we are more willing to believe you... We want to select a group of young people from our respective temples to follow you and listen to your teachings. If you are not satisfied with the group of young people we have chosen, you can also choose from our respective temples without any restrictions. I wonder if you are willing?"

"You don't want to tie me to your chariot, but you want to tie yourselves to my chariot..." Ye Qingcang pulled Sheng Cai'er's little hand, and walked towards the city without even looking at Yang Haohan and others who were standing there in a daze: "You really think you are valuable people... You have the confidence to negotiate with Feng Xiu because of me. Unless you can convince Feng Xiu to stand on your side, otherwise, you have no right to negotiate with me, let alone get on the chariot without my permission."

Looking at Ye Qingcang's swaggering back.

It was quiet on the city wall.

After a long while, Sanshui shook his head and spoke, breaking the oppressive silence: "I've said it before, he's not someone who can be easily manipulated. The politeness before was just a shackle to restrain the beast in his heart. Now, the shackle has been worn off... Facing the beast, we can't find any way to deal with it."

"So... just let it go?" Li Zhengzhi glanced at Sanshui and sneered, "Once he leaves, the demons can just find an excuse to break the contract and start a war again. Can you stop the Demon King, or can I?"

This statement came out.

There was a moment of silence on the city wall again.

Before, it was okay that they had never seen the Demon King Feng Xiu use his full strength.

Now, after seeing the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu using all his strength, and even not knowing whether it was his full strength or he might have a trump card, he was able to shatter the ten thousand mile space where he was fighting with Ye Qingcang. They knew their own capabilities, and even if they wanted to brag, they dared not do it casually.

You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately.

“If Sheng Cai’er was willing to help us, or if the relationship with the Holy Family had not developed to this point…” Ruoshui, the deputy hall master of the Priest Temple, sighed, “Even if he took Sheng Cai’er away, we don’t have to worry about the demons breaking the contract, because the demons will never provoke such a person who can fight the Demon King to a draw before they are sure. I believe the Demon King would definitely not want to… Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything. They look down on us.”

"If you put yourself in their shoes, it's not impossible to understand."

"I'm only fifteen years old this year."

"Just lift it up, at most sixteen."

"At the age of sixteen, he was able to fight the Demon King to a draw, even if neither side had revealed their trump cards... The force that could cultivate such a genius must be far superior to the demon clan and the Temple Alliance composed of our six major temples. How could they be interested in our conditional enticement and oath?"

Yang Haoyu shook his head and analyzed the matter with a calm mind. As a ninth-order, fifth-level Punishment Knight and the highest combat power of the human race, his words were naturally convincing: "Don't you understand? From the very beginning, your fate was not in your own hands. Your only way to survive was to win over Sheng Caier as much as possible...but you always acted high and mighty, unable to lower yourself, and thought that it was unacceptable to bow your head, which led to his backup plan."

Shengyue sighed deeply.

Sanshui sighed deeply.

Li Zhengzhi and others also sighed deeply.

They sighed more times today than in the first half of their lives combined, but apart from sighing, they could not find a way to save the situation. It was like this before and it was like this now, so they could only sigh.

While sighing, he did not forget to arrange the negotiations.

A quarter of an hour, about fifteen minutes.

They have to come up with a plan.

Otherwise, we can only hope to perform on the spot.

"Brother Yang, what do you want to do?" Long Tianyin touched Yang Haoyu's arm with his elbow. Standing on the top of the city wall, he looked at the ruins inside the Exorcist Pass, the soldiers of the Exorcist Pass who were busy rescuing people and putting out fires, and Long Xingyu who arrived late. His heart was filled with gloom.

The matter of arranging the negotiations was left to Sheng Lingxin and others.

The task of writing the plan was also handed over to Sheng Lingxin and others.

For the high-level officials of the Temple Alliance, they knew very well that peace did not depend on an agreement. But with Ye Qingcang, the agreement without the deterrence of Ye Qingcang's force was just a piece of waste paper. Therefore, Ye Qingcang's level was higher than the peace agreement and higher than the subsequent negotiations. They had to admit that Ye Qingcang had replaced the original overall situation and became the new overall situation.

"It's really hard to imagine that someone could turn everything upside down overnight, from an outsider to an insider, and from an insider to the overall situation..." Yang Haoyu's sigh concealed some deep meaning. When Long Tianyin thought carefully, he suddenly said: "The most valuable thing is his character, humility, bravery... Perfectly meets the requirements of a knight's loyalty."

"Are you crazy?"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Allegiance?"

"You want to bring the Knights Templar to pledge allegiance to him?"

Since Yang Haoyu played his cards openly, Long Tianyin immediately understood what Yang Haoyu meant. In order to correct Yang Haoyu's thoughts, he whispered angrily: "The Knights Templar should really be loyal to the human race!"

"Then what?" As the only person in the human race who had contracted the Starry Sky Divine Beast, Yang Haoyu knew more and saw further than Long Tianyin and others. He asked a well-reasoned question, which stunned Long Tianyin, who wanted to denounce the evil ways, "The human race wants peace, but we can't give it to the human race... He can give it, so being loyal to him is also being loyal to the human race."

People always have to face reality.

Those who dare to face reality are called warriors.

Those who overcome reality are called strong. "Okay, I'll go talk to them and see what they think." Yang Haoyu knew that Long Tianyin would not be able to accept his idea for a while, but he did not force Long Tianyin to accept it. Before he came, the human race had missed two opportunities, one was Sheng Caier, and the other was the conditions paid by asking Ye Qingcang to negotiate. Now, in the ending that seems to have no chance, he must try his best to seize this tiny opportunity to help the human race change its fate: "You think about it here alone."

Looking at Yang Haoyu's back.

Long Tianyin was more confused than ever before.

He stared at Long Xingyu and Long Haochen under the city wall for a long while.

Only then did I reluctantly reach a reconciliation with myself.

For the sake of peace, what would happen if the Knights Templar swore allegiance to Ye Qingcang?

For the sake of peace, they are not afraid of death, so are they afraid of losing their dignity?
However, what Long Tianyin didn't know was that inside the demon camp, there was also a group of demons who also longed for peace and were actively preparing for negotiations.

This is something that Yang Haoyu, Yang Haohan, Li Zhengzhi, Sanshui, Shengyue and all the senior executives in the Temple Alliance are not aware of.

……

……

"Father." In the huge demon camp, the slender Yue Ye slowly walked into a large tent dominated by purple and bright silver. Seeing the Moon Demon God Agares sitting behind the table, she saluted and said, "You called me here, is it related to the next negotiation?"

"You have always been very smart..." The Moon Demon God Agares stood up and came to Yue Ye without knowing when. He touched Yue Ye's little head and said something that was obviously normal, but it made Yue Ye feel cold in his heart: "So, there is no need to test it."

As one of the few doves in the demon clan.

The Moon Demon has always had a good attitude towards the human race.

Just like the Star Demon God and the Star Demon Clan.

Be able to treat everyone equally and not favor anyone.

However, Yue Ye found this result difficult to accept, and it even violated the character she had endured for many years. She couldn't help but ask, "Why me...is there no other suitable candidate for marriage?"

There are three types of negotiations.

The first is strong negotiation on one's own side.

The second type is negotiation where one's side is at a disadvantage.

The third type is negotiation between equals.

If it was a negotiation where she was at a disadvantage, it was not that she could not accept the fate of marriage. She could not control the situation and could only go with the flow. But since it was a negotiation between equals, why did she need to get married? And, it seemed like it was a compulsory option?

That is, others can fail.

But she must marry a human male.

Even if that human male is a waste.

She must also serve as a model and symbol of marriage.

Why?
Yue Ye's little fists couldn't help but clench together, and the blue veins under the skin were faintly visible. This scene naturally did not escape the eyes of the Moon Demon God Agares. The gap in strength between the two sides was too big.

"Of course." Moon Demon God Agares admired his daughter's angry expression. If it weren't for the fact that his daughter had human blood and was not qualified to inherit the Moon Demon God position, he would not be willing to let this outstanding daughter go. "But only you, a hybrid of human and demon, are qualified to represent peace."

The meaning of the Moon Demon Agares is very simple.

Because you are a hybrid of human and demon, your existence itself proves that there is no absolute reproductive isolation between humans and demons.

As long as you marry a human and become a role model, more and more demon women will marry you, and more and more human women will marry you. If you can give birth to offspring, more and more demon women will give birth to mixed-race children, and more and more human women will give birth to mixed-race children. Within five generations, both the human and demon races will be considered one family. This is the most solid guarantee.

As for the conflict between the lower-level demons and humans.

It's as if the human race has never been defeated.

There are countless thieves and hooligans.

Especially when a town of the human race was conquered by the demons, the refugees who survived by chance, although they could not be ruthless towards the demons, they could definitely be ruthless towards their own people who were also refugees.

Feng Xiu had been to the human territory, and so had he.

He saw with his own eyes how the refugees fought each other to the point of bloodshed for a bite of food, even killing each other, and even the legendary cannibalism.

Therefore, as long as the human-demon hybrid plan succeeds, these conflicts will no longer be conflicts, but family affairs, which will be handled jointly by humans and demons; killing someone means paying with your life, and debts mean paying with money, which will no longer be empty words.

He is the Moon Demon God.

At present, we must ensure our position.

It is also difficult for him to get married because of his status.

At this critical moment when peace has just begun to dawn, they are playing a marriage of convenience, and they are involving him, the second-ranked demon god. Not to mention that he is the mastermind, even if he is a chess piece, the mastermind would not make such a stupid decision to arrange him.

In this case, a moonlit night is most suitable.

Unfortunately, Fengxiu’s eldest daughter was not here.

If she were there, she would be more suitable than Yue Ye.

The Moon Demon God Agares's thoughts wandered for less than a second, and then he instantly returned to reality. He glanced at Yue Ye who was silent, and comforted Yue Ye who was trying to suppress her anger with extremely heartbreaking words: "And as the price of this qualification, you have the right to make your own choice... Listen carefully, you only have the right to make your own choice."

"I understand...Father!" Yue Ye responded stiffly.

Well disguised.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to fake the body's reactions.

In front of the Moon Demon Agares.

Even if the heartbeat speeds up a little.

The sound of blood flowing faster is particularly harsh.

It just means that the Moon Demon God Agares doesn't care.

"Then go and get ready." Watching Yue Ye slowly retreat outside the tent, the Moon Demon God Agares' voice came out a second before the door curtain fell: "There will be a banquet for everyone to attend in formal attire..."
