Chapter 1386 Negotiation

Chapter 1386 Negotiation
Inside the majestic hall deep within the forbidden area of the Zhuyuan Sea faction.

"In the battlefield of the Bianyu Sea, the Golden Demon Kingdom has fallen into a complete disadvantage!"

As the old ancestor Junmu spoke, his old face was full of an uncontrollable smile: "Reinforcements from the Central Sea are arriving in an endless stream."

"There are even a large number of rogue Nascent Soul cultivators who have formed their own demon-hunting teams to enter the Bianyu Sea area to hunt down fourth-tier demon kings, completely regarding the battlefield as a new place of opportunity. The complete collapse of the Golden Demon Kingdom is already a foregone conclusion!"

The rest of the people in the hall also smiled.

Even with the vast and desolate outer sea at its back, the Golden Demon Kingdom could not possibly contend with the cultivation world of the Eastern Heaven and Earth plus the Central Sea.

Since that epic battle, the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect have been doomed. No matter how unwilling they are, they cannot change their ultimate defeat.

"Now it all depends on the attitude of the Golden Demon Kingdom!"

Li Qing, seated on the first jade throne, also had a faint smile on his face.

"They had no other choice!"

"It is the old ancestor Qingyang who is standing to the side," he said in a deep voice.

This catastrophe that has ravaged the cultivation world of the Eastern Realm is about to come to an end once again.

"Let's look forward to good news from Fellow Daoist Xu Hai and Fellow Daoist Huo Li!"

The reason everyone gathered again was that the final negotiations were about to begin.

Ancestor Xu Hai and Ancestor Huo Li have already represented the cultivation world of the Eastern Heaven and Earth to make contact with the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect.

Everyone knew that even though the cultivation world of the Eastern Heaven had achieved a complete victory on the battlefield, it was impossible to truly subdue the Ghost King Sect and the Golden Demon Kingdom.

After all, the Eastern World no longer has a terrifying True Spirit Bloodline family like the Ji family personally overseeing it, nor does it have any top-tier forces in charge.

Of course, looking at the vast world of the Southern Moon Sea, unless the Desolate Ancestor Palace is willing to relocate its sect to the Eastern Sea Immortal Cultivation World, no other top power can simultaneously dominate the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect.

To achieve final peace, further negotiations and bargaining are still needed.

Half a day later, two figures entered the main hall.

The once peaceful hall instantly became lively.

Ancestor Xu Hai and Ancestor Huo Li brought good news at the same time: the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect agreed to meet and negotiate.

This means that we are one step closer to the restoration of peace in the cultivation world of the Eastern Realm.

"The Golden Sun Venerable from the Golden Demon Kingdom and the young master of the Ghost King Sect wish to meet with Fellow Daoist Qingxuan."
-
This day.

The once fiercely contested battlefield in the Bianyu Sea suddenly became unprecedentedly calm.

The endless beast tide and the torrent of cultivators were both retreating on their own initiative, leaving behind a desolate, blood-red sea.

Under the influence of an invisible, powerful force.

The blood-red clouds suspended between heaven and earth quickly condensed, eventually transforming into a special world that seemed to be paved with blood jade.

Roar!
Accompanied by an ancient dragon's roar that seemed to come from the depths of heaven and earth.

Above the vast tide of beasts, golden light shone, and the ancient and noble dragon's might enveloped the heavens and earth.

A golden dragon, obscuring the sky, swam down from the heavens and transformed into a beam of golden light, falling upon the Blood Jade World.

the other side.

Woohoo! Woohoo!
The endless, ferocious wails of ghosts echoed throughout the heavens and earth, each roar instilling fear in all who heard it.

A massive, eerie ghost ship burst forth from the sky, its chilling aura filling the heavens and earth.

Two black, demonic rainbows descended into the Blood Jade World.

at the same time.

The endless torrent of cultivators, still in shock, instantly looked up at the sky.

Three figures radiating immense power descended from the sky.

An endless, fervent gaze instantly turned to the young figure in the green robe at the head of the group.

That person is the Qingxuan Ancestor, who single-handedly reversed the fate of the entire Eastern Heaven and Earth cultivation world, and is now the number one person in the Eastern Heaven and Earth cultivation world.

For the entire cultivation world of the Eastern Sea, the Azure Profound Ancestor was the goal that countless cultivators looked up to and pursued.

To force the two top powers, the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect, to bow down and submit with only the power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator—even in the vast and boundless Star Sea world, how many people could achieve such a feat?

Under the watchful eyes of countless people.

Negotiations on the future fate of the cultivation world in the Absolute Eastern Realm have officially begun.

Within the Blood Jade Heaven and Earth.

The three camps took their seats.

At this moment, Venerable Jinri had already transformed into a small giant over two zhang tall with his face covered in golden scales. As for Yin Jun, he appeared with the only remaining Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department.

Li Qing's gaze slowly turned to the familiar face from the Ghost King Sect.

Yin Jun, the young master of the Ghost King Sect.

The two have known each other for a long time.

The reason he was forced to flee to Xuannan Continent back then was because of Yin Jun's pursuit, during which he had to risk his life to enter the Immortal Passage.

After returning to the Southern Moon Sea, the two had a fight, and in the end, Yin Jun escaped with serious injuries thanks to his various trump cards.

As if he had thought of something, a faint smile appeared on Li Qing's lips.

In a way, the emergence of the Ghost King Sect back then indirectly contributed to his success.

Back when he was still a low-level member of the cultivation world, he used the inheritance he seized from another young master of the Ghost King Sect as his trump card to rise rapidly step by step. Later, he took advantage of the Ghost King Sect's war to quickly accumulate opportunities, which led to everything that followed.

Everything seemed to be predetermined.

And at this time.

Faced with Li Qing's scrutinizing gaze, Yin Jun felt a chill run down his spine. His previously composed expression began to change slightly, especially when he saw the smile on Li Qing's lips, which made him even more nervous.

Even with Venerable Jin Ri sitting by his side and the Blood Abyss Ghost, a late-stage fourth-tier demon, appearing at any moment to protect his safety, he still couldn't suppress the turmoil in his heart.

Although he understood that the other party would definitely not make a move at this moment.

But after all, the other party has the power to threaten his life at any time.

The previous epic battle had already thoroughly demonstrated the opponent's terrifying methods.

Moreover, there are many grudges between the two sides.

At this moment.

Venerable Jinri spoke first, breaking the surrounding silence.

"What is the purpose of your summons to meet with us?"

"Naturally, it's for the peace of the Eastern Land!"

Li Qing smiled faintly and asked in return, "Could it be that the Venerable One and the Golden Demon Kingdom behind him still have the confidence to continue the fight?"

As soon as these words came out.

Venerable Jinri fell silent instantly.

Even with the Golden Demon Kingdom's strong internal foundation and numerous fourth-tier demon kings, it couldn't withstand the continuous stream of reinforcements from the Bianyu Sea battlefield. In particular, the arrival of various sects and forces from the Central Sea region directly changed the battlefield situation drastically.

As the core of the entire Southern Moon Sea, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the central sea area is truly terrifying. Even if only a small portion of them come to join the battlefield, the Golden Demon Kingdom will find it difficult to cope.

How do you plan to demarcate the eastern land and sea area with us?

Venerable Jinri said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing gently shook his head: "Your Excellency seems to have misunderstood!" "The Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect have already been defeated. Do you think that the defeated side still dares to dream of dividing up the Eastern World?"

In an instant, the atmosphere around them froze.

The expressions of Xue Guang and Junmu, who had come with Li Qing, also changed slightly.

They hadn't expected that this Fellow Daoist Qingxuan would speak so directly, showing no regard for the reputation of the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect.

"Do you really want us to admit defeat and withdraw?"

Venerable Jinri laughed in anger, his golden demonic eyes flashing with ferocity.

"Of course!"

Li Qing continued calmly, "As the defeated party, the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect should voluntarily withdraw from the Eastern Heaven and Earth Cultivation World."

Yin Jun, who was standing to the side, could no longer contain himself and said coldly, "Wishful thinking!"

"With your few mere top-tier forces, you dare to dream of monopolizing the cultivation world of the Eastern Realm? You're just indulging in wishful thinking."

Just as Yin Jun continued his outrageous remarks, he was immediately met with Li Qing's calm gaze.

In an instant, Yin Jun's heart tightened again, and he stopped speaking. In the end, he could only let out a cold snort to cover up his inner tension.

"If that's your purpose in coming here, then there's no need for further words!"

Venerable Jinri sneered: "You don't even have a powerful cultivator at the Great Master level, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly!"

Both Xue Guang and Junmu, who were behind them, sighed softly in their hearts.

This is the biggest weakness of the Eastern Heaven and Earth Cultivation Realm. Without a powerful cultivator to oversee it, the Eastern Heaven and Earth Cultivation Realm is simply unable to deter the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect.

Even if they were to win on the main battlefield, they would ultimately lack the strongest bargaining chips when facing the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect.

At this moment, Li Qing remained calm and asked again, "Could it be that the two people behind you are capable of showing themselves openly?"

"If that's the case, then there's no need to say more!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Jinri snorted coldly.

If the king were to make a public appearance, how could the other party be qualified to sit here and negotiate with him?

"The Golden Demon Kingdom will absolutely not admit defeat and retreat!"

At this moment, Venerable Jinri also began to no longer conceal the attitude of the Golden Demon Kingdom: "If you want the Eastern World to be at peace, then withdraw from the Bianyu Sea, the Zhuyuan Sea, and the Yunlan Sea!"

Yin Jun then revealed the Ghost King Sect's ambition: "In any case, the Haoming Sea and the Shuangyang Sea belong to us!"

Faced with the ambitions of the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect, Ancestor Xue Guang and Ancestor Junmu were not surprised at all; on the contrary, a strange look appeared in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect were willing to leave them the two great sea areas of Luoyun and Fengxiang.

It should be noted that when the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect first negotiated with the three top powers in the Central Sea Region, they were only willing to leave a portion of the land bordering the Central Sea Region, while the rest would be under their control.

This actually proves that, to some extent, the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect have recognized some realities and made concessions.

"Since that's the case, there's no need for further discussion!"

Li Qing said calmly, "If you continue to be so stubborn, then there is no need for negotiation."

"After I leave, I will go to the three top powers in the Central Sea to discuss a full-scale counterattack." Li Qing coldly looked at Venerable Jinri and Yin Jun: "Don't forget, the reason why the three top powers were unwilling to personally intervene at the beginning was simply because they were worried that a full-scale war would backfire on them."

"But now, what right do you have to make them have any reservations?"

"You were defeated even when the three top experts in the central sea area did not show up, let alone now."

"They would probably be willing to add flowers to brocade!"

Li Qing sneered.

"However, you should think carefully. Once the all-out war begins, you will no longer have a choice!"

"Your existence has always been a threat to this world, and I believe the three top powers in the Central Sea Region would not mind eliminating future hidden dangers!"

"By then, the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect will be reduced to wasteland!"

As he spoke, Li Qing looked deeply at Venerable Jinri and Yin Jun again: "Of course, you are not without a chance. It just depends on whether those two are willing to risk the backlash from heaven and earth for this matter!"

The previously defiant Venerable Jinri and Yin Jun both changed their expressions at this moment.

What the other party said was exactly what they were most worried about.

Regardless of the powerful cultivators behind them, they would not take any risks for this matter.

The world after the seal on heaven and earth is broken will be the place where the two greatest opportunities for heaven and earth will be contested.

Under this premise.

Once the three top powers in the Central Sea region join the fray, along with the Qingxuan True Monarch who possesses the Kunpeng power inheritance and the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, neither the Golden Demon Kingdom nor the Ghost King Sect will be able to withstand them.

By then, let alone annexing the Eastern World, the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect will likely be unable to protect themselves.

Looking at Venerable Jinri and Yin Jun, who were already struggling internally.

Li Qing then gave his final conditions.

"If you are willing to withdraw and admit defeat, the Bianyu Sea Region and the Haoming Sea Region can be left to you!"

As the saying goes, aim high and you'll get somewhere in the middle; aim for the middle and you'll get somewhere low.

Li Qing's final "concession" was his ultimate goal.

This is a compromise that had to be made out of necessity.

In any case, neither the Golden Demon Kingdom nor the Ghost King Sect would willingly retreat to their original spheres of influence and allow them to continue controlling the eastern cultivation world without a top-tier power to oversee it.

Furthermore, if he were to seek help from the three top powers, it would mean that the cultivation world of the Eastern Heaven and Earth would have to accept their control.

This is not in line with Li Qing's purpose.

Moreover, he couldn't guarantee that the three top powers in the Central Sea would really be willing to fight the Ghost King Sect of the Golden Demon Kingdom to the death.

At this moment, Li Qing took the initiative to make concessions.

Venerable Jinri and Yin Jun's complexions had recovered somewhat.

However, they still did not nod or express their opinion.

After all, this result was far from what they had expected.

"If we accept these conditions, at least we won't have launched this great war for nothing; we'll still gain some influence over a sea area."

Venerable Jinri's mind was filled with many distracting thoughts.

at the same time.

Li Qing then stated his final stance.

"If the two of you do not agree, then we will have no choice but to fight, to the death!"

"I just don't know if you have prepared any new methods to stop me."

Faced with Li Qing's continued pressure.

Venerable Jinri and Yin Jun's faces grew increasingly furrowed, their hearts filled with helplessness.
