Hao Yue Brought to Justice

"Very good statement..." Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu clapped gracefully. "But what makes you think I would negotiate with you?"

These words were spoken.

Sheng Yue and the others' expressions changed repeatedly.

But Ye Qingcang remained completely calm, even more so than the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu: "Negotiation is nothing more than a communication based on three factors: a balance of power between the two sides, a willingness to resolve issues peacefully, and a division of responsibilities and interests."

"So... you think you have the ability to communicate with me on equal terms?" Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu lowered his hand, clap no more, and the admiration in his eyes gradually faded. However, objectively speaking, some of his merits were still worth praising. "I originally thought you would use the specific whereabouts of the God of Divine Retribution as a bargaining chip. Although I did fall for that, and your blind confidence in yourself was indeed very foolish, I have to admit that you are a person of good moral character. At least you won't go back on your word."

"Strength is not something that can be achieved by empty words."

The saying goes, "Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing."

"The best way is to play a match."

"Whether they have the ability or not will be clear at a glance in time."

When Ye Qingcang pulled the guillotine of Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, he was mentally prepared to be devoured by it. But since he dared to use the guillotine, even if he wasn't 100% sure nothing would happen, he was 99% sure he could protect himself and escape unscathed. "But before we start, I have to make one thing clear: if you don't mind putting the search for the God of Divine Retribution after we start, and are willing to take this risk, then I will naturally accompany you to the end."

"In that case, fine... then give me a definite answer." Ye Qingcang accurately struck at the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu's weakness, but of course, the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu didn't care about this weakness. "I hope this is an answer that I don't need to search for."

"Of course." Ye Qingcang looked at Yang Haohan, the Knight Temple Master, who had flown back to the city wall. After answering Feng Xiu's suggestion, he instructed, "Temple Master Yang, bring up Long Haochen from your Knight Temple... Remember, I want Long Tianyin's grandson, Long Xingyu's son, Long Haochen, not some Tom, Dick, or Harry."

"What do you mean?"

"Could Long Haochen be God of Divine Retribution?"

"Impossible!"

"As the Lord of the Knight Temple, I, Yang Haohan, would never surrender a single knight in exchange for peace, nor can I accept such slander!"

Yang Haohan refused righteously.

This goes against the spirit of chivalry.

Immediately, he was speechless, choked by Ye Qingcang's question, "So, you'd rather let everyone in Exorcist Pass die than hand over Long Haochen and let the thousands or tens of thousands of people in the city live?"

"Lingxin, you are the commander-in-chief of the Exorcist Pass. During wartime, you have the authority to decide all matters Exorcist Pass!" Sheng Yue was very familiar with Yang Haohan. Seeing Yang Haohan's silence, she knew that Yang Haohan couldn't get over his inner hurdle. Helplessly, she took over the conversation and instructed Sheng Lingxin, "Go and bring Long Haochen here..."

"Father..."

The Sheng Lingxin's tone was filled with disbelief.

Long Haochen is Long Xingyu's son.

He and Long Xingyu are very good friends.

Send him to capture Long Haochen?

"Go!" Sheng Yue glanced at Sheng Lingxin and growled in a low voice. Besides, he was afraid that Sheng Lingxin would cause some trouble, because his grandson had been disobedient for a long time. He had done the same thing during the Reincarnation Trial back then. So, he turned to look at Qiu Yonghao beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then instructed the Berserker Hall behind Qiu Yonghao: "Ren Wo Kuang, you go with Lingxin."

"Go."

Qiu Yonghao echoed this sentiment.

This indicates that Ren Wo Kuang should obey orders.

One is at the Seventh Order, and the other is at the Eighth Order.

Catching one Long Haochen is definitely enough.

It only took two or three minutes.

With their full speed ahead, Sheng Lingxin and Ren Wo Kuang grabbed the bewildered Long Haochen and placed him between Ye Qingcang and Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, reporting, "Long Haochen of the Knight Temple has been brought here!"

"Your mother is..." Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu raised an eyebrow, a rare occurrence, carefully observing Long Haochen's facial features and bone structure. He shook his head slightly, putting aside his distracting thoughts, and businesslike instructed, "Summon your mount. I don't want to fight you."

Long Haochen's eyes were full of hostility.

The values he had been instilled with since childhood, coupled with the hatred he had just witnessed of many comrades dying under duress, made it impossible for him to conceal his emotions, nor could he obey the other party's orders.

But faced with orders from his own superiors, he had no choice but to obey.

He humiliatingly summoned his mount, Hao Yue.

A round, ball-like little thing.

Yang Haohan and the others frowned at the sight, as did Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu. He turned to Ye Qingcang, unusually pointing at the small, ball-like object, and questioned, "Is this the God of Divine Retribution?"

"Let it evolve." Ye Qingcang saw through Long Haochen's trick at a glance. He simply wanted to keep Hao Yue in its juvenile form, without its true form, to avoid being captured and judged by the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu: "Who do you think this disguise can fool?"

Long Haochen wanted to say something more.

But Ye Qingcang had no interest in listening to Long Haochen's explanations.

He snapped his fingers casually.

The Hao Yue's size instantly increased.

In the blink of an eye, it grew from the size of a ball to a three-headed chimera the same height.

Below its neck.

There is also a rather noticeable bulge.

"I see..." Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu immediately understood. Moreover, the attributes of these three heads matched those of the God of Divine Retribution in his memory. Teleport in front of Hao Yue, and with a casual wave of his hand, the skin on the three heads immediately cracked open, and three streams of blood slowly flowed down. Feng Xiu caught them in his hand, examined them, and then used his magic to confirm the reaction. He nodded and said, "It is indeed the God of Divine Retribution, and it is in its infancy."

"What do you mean?" Long Haochen was a little flustered.

But he no longer needed to know what happened next.

"Break!" Feng Xiu, his palm wreathed in blue flames, pulled a phantom chain from Hao Yue's body. One end of the chain was attached to Hao Yue, and the other to Long Haochen. Feng Xiu swiftly and cleanly severed it in two with a single chop. Before Long Haochen and Hao Yue could react, the Demon God Pillar, carved with Heaven Defying Demon Dragon Demon God Pillar, tore through space and swiftly transformed into a life-sized black staff in Feng Xiu's hand. With a single strike, it pierced through Hao Yue's torso, ensuring that Hao Yue was suppressed. Seeing the blue light that had reappeared on the Demon God Pillar after so many years, Feng Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Qingcang: "Since you are truly the God of Divine Retribution, I can promise you that even if negotiations break down, I will spare your life and that of the little girl behind you. Moreover, my Demon Race will not offend you."

Now that things have come to this, anyone with eyes can see the truth.

Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu came for the God of Divine Retribution.

For this reason, they even went so far as to use the Demon God Pillar.

Human Race has fought for so many years.

In the eyes of this Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, it might be a little better than playing house.

What a cruel reality!

It fundamentally negates the meaning of survival and resistance!

Deny the beliefs passed down through generations!

"So... next, it's time to confirm our negotiating qualifications." Ye Qingcang stretched his limbs, looked at the Demon Race baring their fangs and claws outside the Exorcist Pass, and asked, "Is it really safe to fight here?"

"Agares?" Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu stood atop the Exorcist Pass, looking at the Moon Demon God who was stationed outside Exorcist Pass Demon Race Clan camp. His voice boomed as he commanded, "Lead all the Demon Race to push them a thousand miles away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space behind him cracked open.

He turned and walked inside.

At the same time, directly above the Demon Race camp, a similar black hole-like vortex unfolded. Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, holding Hao Yue, which looked like a dead dog, stood in the air and stared at Ye Qingcang on the Exorcist Pass: "Ten minutes... In ten minutes, this proof can begin."
