Chapter 736

Qingtian Holy Land, the Qingtian Holy Lord has had a feeling of unease these past few days.

The Scarlet Dragon Demon Emperor couldn't be reached either; although the cultivators stationed at the Myriad Monster Pass could be contacted, they all said everything was normal, which is absurd.

How could everything possibly be normal? I've planned this so meticulously.

Something's off; there's definitely something going on here.

Suspicious in his heart and muttering to himself, just as the Qingtian Holy Lord was secretly doubtful, a holy land Elder rushed in.

Shèngzhǔ, the Demon Race wants to get in touch with you.

Huh??? What's the matter?

They refuse to say.

The Demon Race proactively contacting him was strange; at first, the Qingtian Holy Lord didn't know why, but what came to mind was the Myriad Monster Pass.

Could it be related to the Myriad Monster Pass?

Full of doubt, he came to the main hall, and through the blood curtain, the Qingtian Holy Lord saw several demon emperors of the Demon Race.

These are all elders of the Demon Race's holy lands; they proactively contacted him without saying anything, and there are so many of them?

What is it?

Frowning slightly, he spoke in an icy tone; upon hearing this, one of the demon emperors likewise replied coldly.

Are you humans going too far? Do you really want to provoke a war between our two races?

Or do you think a single Myriad Monster Pass can really stop my Demon Race?

As soon as he spoke, he was met with a barrage of blame; while the Qingtian Holy Lord was stunned, he also felt some dissatisfaction inside.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Huh, you don't understand? I, the emperor, ask you: were the Scarlet Dragon and the Holy Lord of the Azure Dragon Holy Land captured by you humans?

Huh???

The Scarlet Dragon Demon Emperor was captured? And the Azure Dragon Holy Lord? What's going on?

This time, not only the Demon Race elders, but even the Qingtian Holy Lord looked bewildered.

That shouldn't be; wasn't the Scarlet Dragon Demon Emperor supposed to break through the Myriad Monster Pass and slaughter the members of the Dao Yi Sect? Why was he captured instead?

The developments completely exceeded the Qingtian Holy Lord's expectations.

However, as he conversed with the Demon Race elders, the Qingtian Holy Lord gradually came to understand what had happened.

But damn, this is absurd.

He involuntarily cursed the Scarlet Dragon Demon Emperor in his heart—what an idiot?

I helped it like this, yet it could still be captured alive? It's an inside‑outside collusion; even a pig wouldn't be this stupid.

And the Azure Dragon Holy Lord—are you a pig‑brained fool? You ran to the Myriad Monster Pass to deliver yourself?

Of course, the Qingtian Holy Lord could never admit his cooperation with the Scarlet Dragon Demon Emperor.

So, after hearing the Demon Race elders' words, the Qingtian Holy Lord replied coldly.

So, you contacted me just for this?

Hmph, the Demon Race strongly demands the release of the Scarlet Dragon and the Azure Dragon Holy Lord, otherwise we will launch an all‑out war.

Heh, are you threatening me?

Even if the Scarlet Dragon Demon Emperor's situation was plotted by the Qingtian Holy Lord, this definitely cannot be said outright.

Moreover, there are still many Elders of the Qingtian Holy Land present; as the Shèngzhǔ and Human Race Emperor, the Qingtian Holy Lord naturally cannot bow his head before the Demon Race.

Otherwise, where would his dignity as Shèngzhǔ be? Where would his authority lie?

So, facing the Demon Race's threat, the Qingtian Holy Lord replied coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Race elders were not surprised either; if humans were so easy to intimidate, the two races could not have fought for so many years without a decisive victor.

Thus, one of the Demon Race demon emperors spoke coldly.

The importance of Emperor‑realm powerhouses need not be said by us; the Demon Race now wishes to protest and invites the Human Race's Three Holy Lords to the Myriad Monster Pass for negotiations to resolve the matter of the Scarlet Dragon Demon Emperor and the Azure Dragon Holy Lord.

Negotiations?

Hearing this, the Qingtian Holy Lord was stunned; the Demon Race actually wants to negotiate?

It seems they are truly forced into a corner; otherwise, when would the Demon Race ever proactively request negotiations?

Besides the Qingtian Holy Lord, at the same time the Holy Lords of Yaochi and Yunluo also received contact from the Demon Race.

Being the same as with the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ, the Demon Race seems to be solemnly protesting, thinking that the Human Race's move is intended to provoke a war between the two races.

After that, they invited the Shèngzhǔ of the Three Holy Lands to go to Wan Yao Pass for negotiations, to settle the matter of the Red Dragon Demon Emperor and the Tianlong Shèngzhǔ.

After hearing the Demon Race's words, the Yaochi Shèngzhǔ and the Yunluo Shèngzhǔ both looked bewildered.

First reaction: Were the Red Dragon Demon Emperor and the Tianlong Shèngzhǔ captured alive?

Second reaction: Holy shit, the Dao Yi Sect captured two Demon Race Great Emperors alive?

Third reaction: Is the Demon Race taking the initiative to negotiate?

Seeing the Demon Race's actions, the Yunluo Shèngzhǔ and the Yaochi Shèngzhǔ both felt an indescribable feeling.

Inside the Yunluo Holy Land, after ending the call, the Yunluo Shèngzhǔ looked at Li Zhengqing and the others beside him with a complex expression and said.

"How formidable is this Dao Yi Sect?"

If I'm not mistaken, the Dao Yi Sect replacing Qingtian Holy Land to guard Wan Yao Pass hasn't even been half a month yet.

Damn, in just half a month they caught the Demon Race's two Great Emperors? Surely the Demon Race came to negotiate of their own accord?

Hearing that, Li Zhengqing and the others were also baffled, but after thinking it over, it didn't seem too strange.

Leaving that aside, whenever facing the Demon Race, for some reason the Dao Yi Sect seems to have a kind of bloodline suppression advantage.

No matter how ferocious the demon beast, when facing the Dao Yi Sect, they seem to gain nothing good.

"Then Shèngzhǔ, what should we do now?"

Li Zhengqing murmured, the Demon Race, forced into it, actively demanded negotiations, and moreover kept protesting—damn, truly something nobody had expected.

Upon hearing that, Yunluo Shèngzhǔ fell silent for a moment, then immediately spoke.

"Going is definitely necessary; pushed to the brink, even though the Demon Race is like a cornered dog jumping over a wall, it's still not easy to handle."

"But the Red Dragon Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Dragon Shèngzhǔ are in the hands of the Dao Yi Sect."

Li Zhengqing said helplessly.

Given Li Zhengqing's understanding of the Dao Yi Sect, anything that ends up in their hands is absolutely impossible to hand over.

The Demon Race demands negotiations with the Human Race, but damn, the problem is that the two demon emperors aren't in the hands of the Three Holy Lands—damn, what the hell are we supposed to negotiate?

Even if we are to negotiate, we should negotiate with the Dao Yi Sect.

Once they've reached an agreement, what do we do if the Dao Yi Sect refuses to release the demons?

If the two demon emperor ancestors of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land were present now, they'd probably snap something unhappily.

You think we want to negotiate with you? If we could negotiate with the Dao Yi Sect, we wouldn't hesitate—but damn, we don't dare go to the Myriad Demon Pass.

The fate of the Heavenly Dragon Shèngzhǔ is still right before our eyes; going there would damn well be walking into a trap.

Hearing Li Zhengqing's words, Yunluo Shèngzhǔ asked doubtfully.

"Three Holy Lands letting the Dao Yi Sect release the demons—no? If this negotiation goes well, we'll definitely gain many benefits, those two demon emperors—no need for me to say more."

Hearing that, Li Zhengqing shook his head helplessly.

"That's true, but whether the Dao Yi Sect will release the demons is another matter."

"They dare not even give face to a holy land?"

Heh, hearing that, Li Zhengqing gave a wry smile.

"Shèngzhǔ, is Qingtian Holy Land really a holy land?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Yunluo Shèngzhǔ instantly wilted, as if that made sense.
