Chapter 893 473: Don’t Think I Only Know How to Crack a Whip—I Can Call Reinforcements Too!
"What brings you all to this world?" Zhao Xuantian strolled out, looking calmly at the Demon Race divine beings, speaking with a composed tone.
It wasn't just Zhao Xuantian who came; other human divine beings were also present, albeit hidden on the sidelines.
Considering Zhao Xuantian is an ancestor of the Da Xuan Dynasty, it's only natural for him to be the one to negotiate.
"Hmph, Zhao Xuantian, don't pretend you don't understand." The Wan Hui Demon, who transformed from the Bodhi Tree, didn't bother with pleasantries towards Zhao Xuantian.
This Wan Hui Bodhi Tree, if transformed into a demon, holds a status similar to the Royal Family, so naturally, it's this Wan Hui Demon that comes forward to negotiate.
"Well, I truly have no idea." Zhao Xuantian slightly smiled, playing the part of complete ignorance.
He definitely plans to hold firm because, if the Red Pattern Demon falls into Gu Shanhai's hands, he can eventually share the benefits.
But if it's captured by the demon divine beings, they'll digest it internally, not leaving even a trace of benefit.
"Half of it, just hand it over, and our two races will split it evenly." Wan Hui wasn't overly aggressive; for them, the divine being's benefits are significant yet insignificant.
All are Upper Divine Demons, having reached the pinnacle of advancement. Using the divine corpse can't increase their strength, but can be used for cultivation and comprehension for lateral development.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuantian and the other human divine beings were tempted, inwardly sighing in relief.
Initially, they never planned to hog it completely. Such actions would appear greedy, angering the demon divine beings. More importantly, it provides a reason to compel Gu Shanhai to bring out the Red Pattern corpse for everyone to share, otherwise, they'd lack even an excuse to demand it.
"Can this matter..." Zhao Xuantian was about to respond on behalf of Gu Shanhai to agree to it.
"You, tree, speak with skewed reasoning."
Before Zhao Xuantian could finish, a voice interrupted him.
Gu Shanhai casually walked over, holding the Seven-Star Whip, appearing just like an ordinary person.
"The Red Pattern isn't dead yet, and you're waiting to divide his corpse. Even though they're of the same race, it's inappropriate." Gu Shanhai displayed the shadow of a giant elephant from his sleeve, indicating that he is rescuing the demon, unlike you all feasting on orphans.
Witnessing this scene, all divine beings showed displeasure that flickered across their faces. Mainly because Gu Shanhai's actions indeed impinge on everyone's interests.
Everyone was ready to feast, yet here he rescues someone, disrupting the banquet plans.
However, losses come with gains. Though they lost a banquet opportunity, the divine beings discovered greater benefits: Gu Shanhai managed to rescue a divine being controlled by a fatal calamity.
"I didn't expect you could cure a fatal calamity, truly astonishing." Zhao Xuantian said with a hint of surprise.
"What are you thinking? The Red Pattern has already become a walking corpse, and at most, would live a year. This affliction is incurable." Gu Shanhai rolled his eyes in reply.
Everyone's subtle joy halted. If they could truly obtain a method to cure the fatal calamity, gifting the Red Pattern Demon to Gu Shanhai wouldn't be significant. After all, the inheritance of demons is less important than one's life.
But now, with Gu Shanhai claiming it's impossible, the crowd abandoned earlier thoughts, instead contemplating how to proceed.
"Hand over the Red Pattern, and this matter will be over; otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless." Wan Hui realized that now is not the time for beating around the bush or pleasantries.
Zhao Xuantian chimed in: "Indeed, the Red Pattern is a demon divine being, it's inappropriate for you to hold onto it."
"Actually, there's another solution." Gu Shanhai flicked the Seven-Star Whip, speaking with a playful tone.
Hearing this, the divine beings couldn't help but feel a foreboding sensation.
"I think nothing compares to..." Zhao Xuantian began to persuade but was interrupted by a loud noise.
Bang!
Gu Shanhai's Seven-Star Whip struck the Wan Hui Demon, causing its enormous tree body to instantly shatter into pieces, leaving a pit spanning thousands of miles.
"What makes you bold enough to emulate the trees on my body." Gu Shanhai said with a harsh tone.
Even if the Wan Hui Demon might have been born before him, Gu Shanhai remained shamelessly scornful.
"You dare strike!" Instantly, the already tense atmosphere ignited.
All the Demon Race divine beings acted immediately, charging into the human domain to target Gu Shanhai.
Everyone values their reputation. Amid the tense moment, exchanging insults is tolerable, negotiations are possible.
But with Gu Shanhai directly striking the Wan Hui Demon, it's an affront to their dignity, warranting action.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuantian's face darkened, not expecting Gu Shanhai to lack tact entirely.
"Apologies, but capturing you first seems necessary." Zhao Xuantian understood this matter must not escalate further. He must first capture Gu Shanhai and then reconcile.
Otherwise, a divine beings war would result in irreparable losses to the Da Xuan Dynasty and the Demon Domain.
Hence, not only the Demon Race divine beings took action, but the human divine beings joined in as well.
"Apologize your head." Gu Shanhai spun around and kicked Zhao Xuantian, sending him flying.
