Chapter 732: It Doesn't Qualify

Watching as the demon emperor was subdued and bound in five ropes in an instant, the human cultivator leading the way opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

He was dumbfounded—how could the Dao Yi Sect possibly not follow the usual tactics?

Logically, if the demon race wants to negotiate, shouldn't we all sit down and talk?

Before, the Qingtian Holy Land was the same—both sides had gone through many negotiations, and none of them failed to sit down and exchange sharp words.

But when we came to the Dao Yi Sect, why were they captured outright?

This cultivator clearly still doesn't understand the Dao Yi Sect—here, there's never been any talk of negotiating with ingredients.

"Sect Master, I suddenly have a plan............"

Ignoring the dazed cultivator beside him, Xu Jie watched the demon emperor being led away, his eyes rolling as he stepped forward and spoke.

Hearing that, Qi Xiong said with interest.

"Oh, let's hear it."

"I don't know if the Sect Master still remembers what happened at Huling back then."

"Of course."

"The situation at the Tianlong Holy Land now is very similar to that time—since they want to negotiate, why don't we................"

One old, one young, the two leaned in and whispered, then burst into a series of sinister, cackling laughs.

Qi Xiong looked at Xu Jie with an approving expression and said.

"You kid are really not bad; I haven't misjudged you, hehe."

"Disciple just happened to recall it; Sect Master, you're overpraising me, hehe."

"Huh?"

Watching the two suddenly beam with joy, the human cultivator who was already speechless became utterly bewildered—what the heck is going on?

Just as he was full of question marks, Qi Xiong suddenly spoke up.

"You, do you have a way to contact the Tianlong Holy Land?"

"Me?"

"It's you."

"I do, but what does the upper sect intend to do?"

This cultivator has been guarding the Myriad Demon Pass for several years, so naturally he has means to contact the demon race—this isn't strange at all.

But now Qi Xiong suddenly wants to contact the Tianlong Holy Land—what is he planning?

"As long as you can, tell the Tianlong Holy Land that if they want to negotiate, they must send a demon emperor in person—one demon emperor isn't enough qualification."

"Huh???"

"Have the Tianlong Holy Land's demon emperor come in person? What does that mean?"

He didn't react at first, but this cultivator isn't stupid; combining the Dao Yi Sect's various behaviors earlier, plus the insistence now that the Tianlong Holy Land's demon emperor must come personally,

a thought so unbelievable it's hard to believe rose from his heart.

His eyes widened, and the cultivator instinctively wanted to retort—after all, is this something a person can do?

But the other party is the Dao Yi Sect—it seems there's nothing they dare not do.

After swallowing hard with difficulty, the cultivator hesitated for a moment before asking weakly.

"Upper Sect, you wouldn't be thinking................"

"Not bad, let's catch another demon emperor to eat."

"As expected, as expected—damn, capturing one of their demon emperors isn't enough, and now you want to catch another?"

"Do you think demon emperors are like cabbage? The whole Tianlong Holy Land probably only has about four of them."

"If you grab two at once, won't they come after you with their lives on the line?"

"What are you standing around for? Any problems?"

"No...... just, Upper Sect, what if they're unwilling?"

"Then just wait to collect the Red Dragon Demon Emperor's corpse—no, collecting a corpse isn't even needed; just set up a memorial tomb."

With a mix of emotions, the cultivator walked out of the lord's manor as if he had lost his soul.

Along the way, acquaintances seeing his soulless expression expressed concern.

"Hey, you alright?"

"Ah."

"I'm asking if you're alright—what's wrong, did you see a ghost?"

"No...... no."

"By the way, how's the negotiation going? The Upper Sect won't agree, will they?"

The demon race sent a demon emperor to negotiate—this isn't a secret, many people know it, and now it's just a matter of whether the Dao Yi Sect will accept or not.

Just hearing this, the cultivator showed an extremely unnatural expression—still negotiating? Damn, as soon as they entered they were trussed up like zongzi, what's there to talk about?

Now they want to get a demon emperor.

Thinking about this, the cultivator finally snapped back to attention—right, right, right, we still need to contact the Tianlong Holy Land.

Although Qi Xiong and the others' idea feels utterly absurd, he can't refuse and must comply.

Immediately, the cultivator hurried off, returning to his sect's dwelling.

At this moment, his fellow senior brothers watched him forming hand seals, each curious.

"Senior Brother, what are you doing?"

"Contacting the Tianlong Holy Land."

"Huh???"

He naturally couldn't contact the demon emperor directly, so he could only contact the Tianlong Holy Land's demon king to relay the message.

Soon the blood curtain connected, and a demon emperor appeared on the other side of the blood curtain.

What is it?

His attitude was cold; regarding this, the cultivator didn't mind and spoke directly.

The Upper Sect said, a single demon emperor lacks the qualifications; if you wish to negotiate, have the demon emperor of your Tianlong Holy Land come personally.

Huh???

Upon hearing this, the opposing demon emperor also froze, wondering what it meant? Do they still want our demon emperor to personally descend to Myriad Demon Pass?

No further explanation was given, and soon both parties ended the call.

And the Dao Yi Sect's demand was naturally reported quickly to the Tianlong Holy Lord.

Must the demon emperor come in person?

Upon hearing this, the Tianlong Holy Lord's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness; it didn't think much further, and certainly wouldn't consider that the Dao Yi Sect might still want to act against the demon emperor.

In its view, the Dao Yi Sect's action was merely to give the Tianlong Holy Land a show of force.

Having the demon emperor personally go to negotiate, to dampen the demon race's spirit.

With a cold snort, under normal circumstances the Tianlong Holy Lord would definitely not agree.

But now the Chi Long Demon Emperor is in their hands; wanting to save him, they can only choose to agree.

Moreover, if losing some face can save a demon emperor, the Tianlong Holy Lord would naturally not choose to give up.

So, without much hesitation, the Tianlong Holy Lord decided.

Tell the Human Race, this emperor will personally go.

Yes.

The Tianlong Holy Lord personally came; upon receiving the reply, the cultivator responsible for contacting the Tianlong Holy Land was completely stunned.

The fellow disciples beside him also exclaimed in surprise.

Did they really agree?

But why does the Upper Sect insist on the demon emperor coming in person? Is it just because a demon emperor isn't qualified enough?

Yes, Shī xiōng, the Upper Sect originally gave you the order personally; do you know what the Upper Sect means?

Besides some surprise, everyone is even more curious about why the Dao Yi Sect insists on the demon emperor coming in person.

Faced with everyone's questions, the cultivator's mouth twitched, he threw out a strange sentence and left directly.

Because one demon emperor is not enough.

Huh???

What isn't enough?

Shī xiōng, what do you mean by that?

For a moment, everyone found it hard to understand; they never imagined that the Dao Yi Sect's purpose in having the demon emperor come in person was to get another one—this is utterly absurd, this is a demon emperor, but in the Dao Yi Sect's eyes, it's just left and right, one after another.
