Chapter 176: The Difficulty of the Prelude to the Peace Talks
When we left Ziwei Cave, it was past midnight, and on the gray snow, Hehuan was tugging on Yifei's sleeves and dancing happily.
The monsters hidden in the darkness looked at them with complicated eyes.
Taoyao did not say hello to them, but walked alone through the desolate night.
Before leaving Jihen Mountain, her family's deity said that the day when they would meet again was not far away. Likewise, the day when gods, immortals, and monsters would fight for a thousand years was not far away either.
Does this mean that the day when the secret of her family’s immortality is revealed is not far away?
Thinking of this, Taoyao slowed down her steps and looked up at the night sky. Will the day when everything becomes clear be the moment when she understands why she traveled to Qiye Continent?
She had never thought deeply about this time travel. She just lived and seemed to have completely forgotten to think about it.
But actually, how could she not think about it?
Everything has a cause and effect, and all origins have their inevitability. She will not be struck here by a thunderbolt for no reason, and she will not come here for no reason.
So, why did she come here?
Are you here to prevent a war between the three realms, or to save a loved one?
In front of the ruined cave, there were four senior brothers, Le Zheng Lingjun, Xu Xiuyuan, Li Shubai, Lu Li, and the female disciple of Lin Xiangu. The six of them had snow falling on their bodies, presumably because they had been waiting for her for a long time.
Seeing Tao Yao appear, the fourth senior brother quickly stepped forward and asked urgently: "Little junior sister, how are you doing?"
Taoyao nodded: "Fanyin agrees to give me one thousand demon pills in exchange for the head of the Li family."
After she finished speaking, the six people here had different expressions.
Fourth senior brother, Le Zheng Lingjun, and Lu Li should be happy.
The fourth brother is happy because Kunlun came to Youdu originally to save people. If he cannot save people, not only will he not be able to restore Kunlun's declining reputation, but it will even greatly damage Kunlun's reputation.
As for Xu Xiuyuan, although his thoughts are unclear, generally speaking, both he and Yue Zhengling were the helmsmen of aristocratic families, and they can still take care of the overall situation to a certain extent. They understand that it is better for Li Zhixing to be alive than dead.
As for Lu Li, of course he is happy. After all, Li Zhixing is in trouble all because of the Lu family. If Li Zhixing dies, how will the debt owed by the Lu family be repaid?...
Apart from the happy ones, there are only two unhappy ones left.
Li Shubai was unhappy because he used the Mirror of Heaven and Earth to accuse Li Zhixing in public. Li Zhixing would know about it sooner or later, and Li Shubai would not get any good results by then.
And Lin Xiangu's female disciple is definitely the most unhappy person here, because Li Zhixing is the enemy who killed her master, how could she hope that he lives?
But the fourth senior brother didn't care about the complicated thoughts of everyone. He turned around hastily and said to Li Shubai: "Junior brother Li, early tomorrow morning, I will take you to Li's house to get a thousand demon pills."
"Eh?" Li Shubai frowned instinctively, "Brother Zimiao, why did the Li family produce the demon pill? My grandfather suffered because of the Lu family. This demon pill should have been produced by the Lu family."
Lu Li instantly became unhappy and retorted firmly: "The Lu family's demon elixir has already been given to Kunlun. If you want to get it from the Li family, ask my senior brother."
Li Shubai was angry: "You are unreasonable!"
Lu Li sneered: "Am I being unreasonable, or are you being unfaithful and unfilial?"
"You——" Li Shubai's face was extremely cold, and Lu Li's face didn't show any mercy.
Lu Li and Li Shubai seemed to be about to take action, but the female disciple of the Lin family over there sneered and turned around first: "If I had known this would be the result, I might as well have waited."
Yue Zhenglingjun, who was quite young, couldn't hide his exhaustion, raised his sleeves, yawned, and said he wanted to go in and rest first.
Seeing this, the fourth senior brother's face turned cold: "Wait a minute."
They stopped quarreling, stopped walking, and turned to look at the fourth senior brother.
"My junior sister finally brought back a piece of good news, yet you have such an attitude? Could it be that a thousand demon pills are more important than the peace between the demon clan and the human world?"
Everyone blinked slightly and were surrounded by four
The senior brother asked a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Yue Zhenglingjun advised the fourth senior brother in a good-tempered manner: "Zimiao, it's already late today. Let's wait until everyone calms down tomorrow and we can talk."
"Ha." The fourth senior brother did not give Le Zheng Lingjun any face, "What else is there to say? It's just a thousand demon pills. If you take it, you can exchange it for the head of the Li family, right?"
That's the thing, but the fourth senior brother's thoughts are not the same as everyone else's thoughts.
Seeing that the fourth senior brother's expression became darker, so serious that he even became angry, Xu Xiuyuan took half a step forward, grabbed the fourth senior brother's clothes and said, "Senior brother Zimiao, please be patient."
"What?"
"Since the demon clan has expressed its willingness to negotiate, then we still need to formally negotiate. In this case, there is no need to rush the matter of obtaining the demon pill."
As he said that, Xu Xiuyuan waved his sleeves: "It's really getting late, and all of you are very tired, Senior Brother Zhixing, so we all went back to rest early. We will discuss it later when you have rested."
Everyone then lazily raised their hands and prepared to go back.
At this time, Tao Yao opened her mouth and said, "Wait a minute."
Everyone frowned and looked at Tao Yao impatiently.
No wonder Yifei Hui said that the human race would not always be strong. Seeing that the human race still had little idea of the coming storm and all their thoughts were focused on their own intrigues, how could the human race continue to be strong?
"Fanyin promised the human race that he could exchange a thousand demon pills for the head of the Li family, but he had a condition." After saying that, Tao Yao cast her eyes on the fourth senior brother's face.
However, the fourth senior brother did not speak, his eyes were full of disappointment.
So, Xu Xiuyuan asked Tao Yao: "Junior Sister Tao, what are the conditions?"
"Fan Yin said that these thousand demon pills must come from the five major cultivating families. The demon clan wants each family to produce two hundred pills, and they must be selected by the demon clan themselves. Otherwise, we will be asked to return to the human world immediately without any further peace talks."
The cultivators who said they were going to rest were no longer tired in an instant. Not only were they not tired, but others also came after hearing the news. A group of people gathered in the cave and became a quarrel.
Not to mention the Li family and the Lin family, even the Lezheng family cannot fully accept the result that they have to pay two hundred demon pills for the Li family for no reason, let alone the Li family who have different internal opinions and hate Li.
Zhixing hates the Lin family with itching teeth.
Tao Yao and Fourth Senior Brother were sitting next to each other. She was so tired that she almost fell asleep, while Fourth Senior Brother was so noisy that his face turned blue and red.
"Little junior sister!"
Tao Yao was startled and opened her eyes suddenly: "Huh?"
"I don't care what tricks you use, I just want them to shut up!"
Tao Yao curled her lips, thinking that the fourth senior brother was finally annoyed. She asked with a smile: "Does the fourth senior brother plan to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his position after returning to Kunlun?"
"What?"
Tao Yao's smile deepened, and the coldness in her eyes grew colder: "If it weren't for this, why would the Fourth Senior Brother call out to the Junior Sister when he encounters a problem? If something happens to the Junior Sister, he will be the first to question the Junior Sister. Fourth Senior Brother, you
I’m afraid it’s not that I am ranked second in Kunlun in cultivation, but that I am shameless and ranks second in Kunlun, right?”
"..." The fourth senior brother, who was already very angry because of human cultivation, was very angry at Tao Yao, so he didn't say anything.
Seeing that the fourth senior brother was speechless, she closed her eyes again.
To be honest, the cultivators were really noisy, but after hearing the noise for a long time, it had an inexplicable hypnotic effect. No wonder Yan Hua had to sleep near a dead tree.
"Little junior sister!"
Meow!
Taoyao was just about to fall asleep when she was woken up by her fourth senior brother again. She raised her hand angrily, and a restraining spell was already pinched on her fingertips: "Fourth senior brother, if the rabbit doesn't show its power, do you think I can't bite people?
?」
"Who is the most shameless person?"
"..." Tao Yao looked up to the sky and sighed, what was she and her brainless fourth senior brother doing? This guy was just reincarnated. If he joined the demon clan, he would be a famous brainless warrior.
"Junior sister, are you really going to let them quarrel?"
"if not?"
The fourth senior brother pinched his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid that if we argue for two more days, there won't be any results."
Who says it's not
Woolen cloth?
If the five people say it well, they are like the same spirit, but if they say it unfavorably, they are doing their own thing.
Li Zhixing was the only one who was ambitious and capable of planning. He spent many years establishing a relatively transcendent status for himself, so when something happened to the Lu family, he could respond to everything.
Now, Li Zhixing, the leader, is considered useless, and there are only a few capable ones left. Xu Xiuyuan's reputation has plummeted because of his unclear relationship with Lin Xixian.
As for Yue Zheng Lingjun, he does have status and may be capable enough, but he has been relegated to the second line for many years and has no intention of worrying about the many troubles in the world.
There is also the Lu family, people who even put aside their spiritual practice. Isn’t it a joke to ask them to lead the entire human world?
Actually, with the Fourth Senior Brother, the situation in front of him was not unbreakable, but looking at the hurt look on his face, how could he care?
If no one can control the situation, the noise will continue.
When daybreak was about to break, Xu Xiuyuan walked up to Tao Yao in disgrace and said, "Junior sister Tao, please forgive me for my incompetence."
inability?
Taoyao opened her eyes in confusion, and for a moment, she didn't know what year it was.
It took a while before she remembered where she was.
Looking at Xu Xiuyuan's gray face, she remembered what she had said before. She had said before that she would ask the demon clan what they wanted, but whether the human world could agree to it would depend on Xu Xiuyuan's mediation.
At that time, Xu Xiuyuan was reluctant. He had expected early on that this mediation would be difficult, but he probably never expected that these bastards would be so capable.
Tao Yao smiled and said, "Then just wait."
"wait?"
She was not familiar with her spiritual pet, but what kind of evil virtue did her spiritual pet have? How could she not count it? She asked him not to touch Li Zhixing, would he be willing to obey her orders?
Sure enough, after another half an hour, a fat baby with sweaty face suddenly rushed in from outside the cave. As soon as it came, the people who were making a fuss suddenly turned silent. A group of people opened their dark eyes and stared.
Wearing a fat doll.
The fat baby is cute, but the aura between its eyebrows is not weak. If people stare at it, it will stare back one by one, and the degree of glare is horrifying, far better than that of people.
However, when it came to Tao Yao, its expression became much gentler: "The little demon pays homage to Tao Xianzun."
"Is something wrong?"
"Back to Tao Xianzun, Master Fanyin asked the little demon to inform Tao Xianzun that this morning before dawn, a black shadow suddenly appeared near the dead tree. The black shadow seemed to want to kill the Li family leader."
"Eh?" Taoyao pretended to be surprised, but her eyes swept over the people in the cave without leaving a trace.
Everyone's appearance is the same as before, except for the Lin family, there are some indescribable differences, it seems... not so overtly happy?
Logically speaking, they should be very happy when they heard that Li Zhixing was almost killed. This chapter has been completed!
