Without Two Hundred Thousand, You Want to Take Our Human Race's Sons and Daughters? Keep Dreaming!

"What a thoroughly satisfying discussion of the Dao."

Inside the Human Ancestral Hall, Li Yuan let out a long breath and sighed.

As expected of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Chief Disciples of the Three Teachings.

Each of them possessed an exceptionally clear understanding of the path they were meant to walk, benefiting Li Yuan greatly.

The Pangu Physique's capacity for comprehension was also utterly terrifying.

After fully digesting and absorbing everything, Li Yuan's gains were immense.

Just as Li Yuan was preparing to continue cultivating—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A panicked member of the Human Race suddenly rushed into the Ancestral Hall, shouting.

"Three Ancestors, Three Ancestors, disaster! The Witch Race has come to abduct our Human Race women!"

The moment he heard this, Li Yuan's brows furrowed tightly.

"The Witch Race?"

His purpose in descending the mountain had been to resolve the conflict between the Wu-Demon races.

Yet before he could go looking for the Witch Race, they had come to him instead.

Suirenshi's face darkened with anger as he said coldly.

"These Witch Race barbarians simply don't understand human speech."

"Before, everything they said was aimed at making the Human Race join the Witch Race."

"Who would have thought that after I refused them, they would now resort to outright robbery!"

Li Yuan rose to his feet and asked with a frown.

"What exactly did the Witch Race say to you back then?"

As though he had found someone to rely on, Suirenshi blurted everything out in one breath.

"Uncle Yuan, the Witch Race said the Human Race was suitable for intermarriage with them, but the Human Race would have to become a subordinate of the Witch Race."

"What a joke. We are a race created by Lady Nuwa, and Uncle Yuan taught me to stand on my own feet, to be self-reliant and unyielding."

"How could I agree to their demands? Of course I refused. And now these Witch Race barbarians have actually come to snatch people away!"

Li Yuan nodded slightly. As long as he understood the Witch Race's intentions, this would be easier to handle.

Thinking back to the original Primordial World, the Human Race could be considered one of the triggers for the great Wu-Demon war.

The Demon Court had launched the Witch Slaughtering Sword plan against the Human Race, while the Witch Race abducted humans.

The Human Race clearly presented both benefits and drawbacks to the Demon Court and the Witch Race.

As long as things had not completely fallen apart, there was still room to resolve the conflict and ease tensions.

However, since the Witch Race had already gone this far, they needed to learn what pain felt like.

With a sweep of his hand, Li Yuan used an escape technique and set off.

"Brothers, let's go meet the Witch Race."

Before long, Li Yuan spotted a sizable gathering of Witch Race members in the distance.

The leader of the Witch Race seemed to be forcing the chief of that Human Race tribe to do something.

Li Yuan stepped forward and shouted directly.

"Oi, I'm Human Race too. If you have something to say, say it to me."

The leading Great Witch was powerfully built, radiating a fierce aura as his pitch-black eyes fixed on Li Yuan.

"A saint's disciple?"

He instantly sensed the pure Taiqing magic power on Li Yuan's body.

"I heard that two humans entered a saint's sect, one called Xuandu and the other called Li Yuan. Which one are you?"

Li Yuan's expression remained indifferent as he snorted.

"Before asking someone else to introduce themselves, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

The Great Witch curled his lips into a smile and said softly.

"I am Hou Yi, Great Witch of the Witch Race, at the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

As his words fell, the pressure of his cultivation realm surged forward.

Li Yuan showed no sign of retreat. He was stubbornly unyielding as he released his own aura as well.

"This daoist is Li Yuan, one of the Humanity Sect saint's only two direct disciples!"

Though Hou Yi sensed that Li Yuan only possessed the aura of a Golden Immortal, he showed no mockery and merely smiled.

"Can you make decisions regarding the Human Race?"

Li Yuan put his hands on his hips and answered confidently.

"Of course."

At the same time, Xuandu and the others hurried over behind him.

Hearing this, Suirenshi of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors also declared loudly.

"Talk to my Uncle Yuan. He can definitely settle it."

Hou Yi nodded slightly and stared at Li Yuan as he spoke.

"Since that is the case, this will be easy. The Witch Race wishes to intermarry with the Human Race. Does the Human Race's refusal mean you look down on the Witch Race?"

Li Yuan raised a brow at those words.

"What kind of logic is that? Not intermarrying with you means we look down on you? The Human Race is a race created by a saint."

"Moreover, my master established his Dao lineage through the Human Race, and my senior brother and I were both born human."

"When it comes to origins and backing, it is your Witch Race that is reaching above your station. Does your Witch Race have a saint's protection? You don't have a damn thing—not even a single hair!"

Hou Yi touched the smooth, bald top of his head.

He had the distinct feeling that Li Yuan was making an indirect jab at him. There was something hidden in those words.

"Hiss... are you implying something?"

Li Yuan spoke with earnest sincerity.

"I'm actually saving you. If the Witch Race does something so terrible to the Human Race—"

"Then if I let something slip, hehe, it might reach the saint's ears."

"Then the saint will take action against the Witch Race. You won't be able to bear that wrath."

Hou Yi frowned and pondered carefully for a moment before nodding slightly.

He clearly felt that Li Yuan's words made sense.

Li Yuan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Hou Yi had come.

If it had been someone like Xiangliu or Xingtian, whose brains were truly made of muscle, there would have been no room for negotiation at all. The word negotiation did not exist in their dictionaries.

No, they probably could not even read a dictionary.

The Human Race genuinely had a saint's protection, something the Witch Race lacked.

The Witch Race did not want any conflict with a saint either.

They loved battle, but they did not enjoy seeking death. They could not defeat a saint.

"The Witch Race sincerely wishes to intermarry with the Human Race. Could you perhaps be accommodating, little friend?"

Li Yuan answered with frustration, as though scolding someone for failing to meet expectations.

"Whether you want to marry Human Race men or women, intermarriage depends on their willingness, not on whether I agree."

"Where is your sincerity? A whole crowd of you came here, and you think you can just marry into our Human Race?"

As soon as he said this, Hou Yi fell into thought, while Xuandu's eyes widened.

Why did it feel like his junior brother had suddenly shifted from passive to active?

A sharp light flashed in Guangchengzi's eyes as he thought to himself.

Senior Brother's command of language is formidable. I should learn from him.

Duobao and Kong Xuan each mobilized their magic power, sharing the same thought.

Why the hell haven't they started fighting yet?!

Seeing that Hou Yi still did not understand, Li Yuan sighed helplessly.

"Ah, you really don't get it. Why don't you ask whether the soldiers under your command agree? Don't they need to have feelings for each other and catch each other's eye before getting married?"

"Besides, you came to intermarry with our Human Race. Didn't you know to bring something? You have no sincerity at all, do you?"

Hou Yi finally grasped the key point. He turned and glanced at the many Witch Race members before asking.

"You don't agree either?"

The Witch Race members responded all at once.

"There really aren't any feelings. I don't like it."

"I want a strong, sturdy man. If he isn't willing, it's no fun."

"I think there should still be some proper etiquette. It makes it easier to cultivate feelings."

"..."

Hou Yi immediately spoke.

"So, little friend, you agree to intermarriage between the Witch Race and the Human Race?"

Li Yuan nodded slightly, then suddenly wore an exceedingly arrogant expression.

"Without two hundred thousand, you want to take our Human Race's sons and daughters? Keep dreaming!"
