After hearing Taishang Laojun's words, Carefree Great Emperor could not help but laugh.

Carefree Great Emperor said, "If things proceed as you suggest, then will the peace talks between the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court have to be delayed yet again?"
Taishang Laojun explained, "It cannot exactly be called a delay. We must choose someone who can represent the Demon Clan. Otherwise, these peace talks will be difficult to continue. This person must hold authority within the Demon Clan and be able to unify their views. Only then will the peace talks be meaningful.
