Chapter 270 : The Old Fellows Have Relented
"Is what you're saying... all true?"
Mo Qingchen was stunned for a moment, his palms clenching and unclenching, still finding it hard to believe.
"I've gathered quite a bit of information. In fact, the Xuanyuan family and the Mo family have had friction since their ancestors......" Mo Baizhou continued.
Mo Qingchen recalled Xuanyuan Cheng's constant hostility towards him, especially during the sect competition years ago when he opposed him at every turn, attempting to frame him several times.
In the past, Mo Qingchen had always thought this person was narrow-minded and harbored inexplicable jealousy towards him, and hadn't taken it seriously... But now it seemed the matter wasn't so simple.
It turned out there was such a deep-seated feud between the Xuanyuan family and the Mo family.
"Mm, regarding the Xuanyuan family's matters, we'll discuss them after returning to the cultivation world. For now, we need to resolve the issues left by the demon race here." Seeing his emotions were somewhat unstable, Mo Baizhou spoke first, looking towards Yan Wangxing.
"The cultivation world need not worry about matters on the demon race's side. I will handle things properly. Also, don't forget what you promised this sovereign," Yan Wangxing verbally agreed to cooperate with the cultivation world, but he still harbored suspicions in his heart. However, given the current situation, the alliance of the demon race with the cultivation world and even the other two races had already become a forced major trend. Otherwise, those who stood alone were likely to become the first target for the upper realm human gods to strike, or the first blade for those human gods to use in killing by borrowing the knife.
This time, various major sects had sent high-level elders to the demon realm precisely to discuss this matter.
Continuing to fight like this would benefit neither side, especially since the demon realm had just experienced internal turmoil. Continuing internal and external conflicts would be too draining. The only solution now was for the two races to unite first. Both sides put forward conditions beneficial to the other, and after discussions, reached a peace agreement for at least a hundred years.
"Master, what exactly was written on that Divine Decree? How could it make the demon race willingly cooperate with the cultivation world?" To put it bluntly, the demons were a bunch of lunatics with no sense of patriotism. Even if the world were to be destroyed, as long as the disaster didn't truly fall on individuals, they wouldn't care about it at all.
Moreover, the vast majority of demons, overly worshipping strength and disregarding human sentiments, were very likely to pursue more powerful divine power, becoming a sharp blade in the hands of human gods, a loyal puppet, a dog driven by interests.
Even if Yan Wangxing was exhausted from this affair and had no intention of continuing to oppose and drain himself against the cultivation world, the demon realm's territory was so vast, with so many forces still present. The various sects and families wouldn't easily relent. After thinking it through, Chu Sang concluded there was only one possibility: the information leaked on the Divine Decree forced the major forces of the demon race to accept the cultivation world's conditions for their own interests.
"You're quite clever, little girl. Indeed, when I rescued you, the Divine Decree's space was also destroyed by that Dharma Body's self-destruction. I took the opportunity to get my hands on the Divine Decree."
Immortal Chanyu sighed lightly, reaching out to pull her forward a step. The space before their eyes changed, and a scroll appeared before the two of them—it was the Divine Decree.
This time, the Divine Decree they saw wasn't in a closed state like before. It unfurled slowly from top to bottom like a painting scroll. Immortal Chanyu waved out a strand of divine power from her palm, and several lines of text appeared on the blank Divine Decree.
After seeing clearly what was written on it, Chu Sang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, a chill running down her back. She instantly understood why those stubborn old fellows of the demon race would relent so easily.
Probably... no one wanted to end up in such a fate.
