Chapter 3787: Negotiated Resolution

The war's horns rang across the border of the Central Dynasty, and the sound of war drums stimulated every soldier's nerves.

After learning the news, the God King immediately followed the original plan, sending all the Imperial Guard to rush to the Western Region to confront the Death Legion. Then he redeployed five hundred thousand troops from the Eastern Region to the Southern border as reinforcements.

Regarding the transfer of troops from the Eastern to the Southern Region, Ye Liuyun and Yu Xiaofeng were indifferent, knowing that ordinary soldiers could not stop the Demon Race. Their main opposition remained the five hundred thousand Imperial Guard.

The overall realm of the Imperial Guard is several levels higher than that of the Death Legion. Now it depends on how long the Death Legion can hold out with its equipment.

Ye Liuyun was about to head over to assist Yu Xiaofeng when he suddenly received messages from Guǐ Sòu and Black Mountain.

Guǐ Sòu's message read: "A void passage was discovered in the Eastern Royal City, and Demon Qi is thick within!"

Black Mountain's message said: "The Dragon Beast sensed the aura of the Demon World near the Southern Royal City and is searching for its source."

When Ye Liuyun received the information, he was stunned; after a while he opened his mouth and cursed: "Wang Tianqi, aren't you afraid of divine retribution? You can actually pull off something like this!"

He immediately took out a Transmission Talisman and notified each Royal City: "Wang Tianqi has tunneled a passage to the Demon World near a Royal City, planning to release those demons to cause chaos. You must be on full alert. I'm rushing over to deal with it!"

After transmitting the message, Ye Liuyun instantly used the Black Tower to teleport, hurrying first to the Southern Region.

"Dragon Beast, find some Demon Human clan chiefs; I need their assistance…" Upon arrival, he assigned the Dragon Beast a task.

At this time, Black Mountain also found a passage to the Demon World near a Royal City.

Ye Liuyun released Zhan Kong and the painter, letting them see whether they could seal the passage or send it back.

After watching for a while, the two reached a unanimous conclusion: "It can be sealed, and it can be sent back. But they can quickly dig another one through!"

At this moment, the Dragon Beast also gathered a group of Demon Human clan chiefs and their people on standby.

"Then keep this passage!" Ye Liuyun stopped thinking about sealing it. Instead, he had the Dragon clan station a team here to wait for the emerging Demon Humans and negotiate with them.

Then Ye Liuyun led the Dragon Beast to rush to the Western and Northern passage entrances. At each entrance, he left a team of Demon Human clan chiefs and their people, waiting to negotiate with the Demon Humans inside.

Before heading to the Eastern Region, Ye Liuyun contacted Guǐ Sòu to hear his opinion.

"Don't seal it for now; let's see how it spreads first!" Guǐ Sòu stated his view outright.

"Alright, call me if you need anything!" Ye Liuyun agreed.

The Eastern Region is Wang Tianqi's territory; since he won't even spare his own ground, Ye Liuyun has no reason to help him clean up the mess.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Kings of the Western, Southern, and Northern Regions spread the news of Wang Tianqi's fanatical tunneling into the Demon World, provoking great public discontent and panic.

Now every region has a passage to the Demon World; there's nowhere for them to hide.

And at the moment the passage was completed, Wang Tianqi's fortune instantly dropped by half.

He now knows that his own actions caused the decline in fortune. He estimates his current strength to be roughly at the early stage of Hédào Jìngjiè.

Nevertheless he does not regret; as long as he can seize the chance to defeat Ye Liuyun, his fortune will grow again.

"Ha ha, Ye Liuyun, now you can't keep up either, can you?" Wang Tianqi gloatingly rejoiced.

He knows that in this battle Ye Liuyun has almost committed all his forces. Yet dealing with the suddenly appearing Demon World passage, Ye Liuyun will surely be flustered for a while.

Attempting to summon Martial Cultivators on short notice is simply impossible.

"At this moment, those Demon Beasts should be rushing outward, right?"

He is still looking forward to the drama to begin.

In reality, the Demon Beasts that had sensed the outside aura and wanted to charge out, upon seeing a team of Demon Humans guarding the passage entrance, immediately turned and withdrew.

Lowly Demon Beasts dare not compete with Demon Humans for food; when they see Demon Humans, they instinctively fear and obey.

Soon, a patrol of Demon Humans discovered the passage breach. The Demon Humans left by Ye Liuyun also made contact with them, gaining a chance to negotiate.

Ye Liuyun, with a Clone Puppet and the Dragon Beast, went to meet the Demon Human leader.

The 'Demon Human leader' spoken of by the demons is merely a collective term for the Demon Human race, not referring to specific individuals, but to the demons within that race whom they all call the leader.

Upon seeing any demon of that race, they treat it as the leader and obey its commands completely.

This was Ye Liuyun's first time seeing a Demon Human leader. Upon arrival he discovered that the leader is a full circle larger than ordinary demons, easily distinguishable by size. Moreover, its demonic aura is denser, and its realm is at the Hédào Yīchóng level.

"What right do you have to negotiate with us?"

The first sentence at the meeting, the Demon Human leader directly asked Ye Liuyun.

After the Dragon Beast helped translate, Ye Liuyun waved his hand; behind him, two thousand Hédào Jìngjiè-level puppets lined up neatly, ready.

"Are these enough?" Ye Liuyun asked without showing weakness: "If these aren't enough, I still have five hundred thousand Demon Race troops and five hundred thousand Human Race troops at my disposal!"

He knows the temperament of these Demon Humans; if he cannot suppress them with force, they will not negotiate at all, let alone honor any agreement.

Everything speaks through strength; at such times there's no need to be modest with them.

The Demon Human leader was startled upon seeing this. This strength already equals that of their entire Demon Human leader tribe.

"Do you still have these skeletons?" the Demon Human leader didn't care about the Demon or Human armies he mentioned; he only feared the Hédào Jìngjiè-level Skeleton Puppets.

"At this realm, I can cultivate a thousand puppets in half a month!" Ye Liuyun replied honestly.

Hearing this, the Demon Human leader was silent for a moment, then finally asked Ye Liuyun.

"How do you propose to negotiate?"

Ye Liuyun replied directly: "I will station forces at the passage entrance; you may not pass, and I will ignore everything else for now."

The Demon Human looked at Ye Liuyun and said: "Alright, I agree!"

Ye Liuyun also directly packed away those Skeleton Puppets and left with his men.

This time he can be said to have reached a temporary agreement with the Demon Humans; as for the rest, it can be discussed later.

He knows a great battle with these Demon Humans is inevitable. Though his strength is now exposed, it must be this way; otherwise his fight with the demons would be forced earlier.

He estimates the Demon Humans are also unprepared; after seeing his strength, they will make corresponding preparations upon returning.

After Ye Liuyun left, he thought of Li Yuan.

He released Li Yuan and told him about the recent events.

"What? Wang Tianqi is literally insane!" He was also shocked by Wang Tianqi's actions,

"Now is not the time to discuss this; use Spatial Power to conceal yourself, enter through my passage, infiltrate the Human Race and gather intelligence. Not only Wang Tianqi's information, but also keep an eye on the Demon Humans' news."
