An offer of surrender
Inside the North Spring Grotto-Heaven.
Gu Yuanqing looked at Ji Xian, shook his head slightly, and sighed softly, "What a pity, what a pity!"
Standing beside Gu Yuanqing, the Dragon Demon Ancestor, now in human form, asked, "What is it that you regret, young master?"
Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Back then, he was the Human Race Heavenly King, sacrificing himself for the Human Race in a battle. Although his cultivation was not as high as it is now, his Vital Essence were like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, possessing a certain invincibility. But today... he is just an ordinary Heavenly Change Cultivator!"
"Cultivation, the Way, and the mind—one should uphold one's true nature, remaining impartial and unbiased. But how many people or demons in this world can truly achieve this?" The Dragon Demon Ancestor Ao Jie replied softly, for wasn't he himself the same?
As one's status changes and circumstances evolve, Vital Essence are naturally affected.
Back then, as the Demon Emperor, he was powerful and invincible. Now, although he still rules the Dragon Demon Realm, he is ultimately just a servant.
Seeing no response for a long time, Ji Xian gritted his teeth and said again, "I know you are here, senior. Please show yourself."
With a thought, Gu Yuanqing caused a mountain peak in North Spring Grotto-Heaven to slowly appear in mid-air.
Demon God Mountain was clearly looking for him, so hiding wouldn't do any good, and besides, he didn't need to hide at this moment.
far away.
Na Lie Shanhan Han stood at the bow of the ship, gazing into the distance. He laughed with Miao Wuyou beside him, "I didn't expect it to really be this person. A Human Race at the Chaos Heaven Great Cultivator, yet he's hiding in this Black Sea region. If it weren't for Sixth Brother Wang's demonic pet having an accident here, I'm afraid we would never have discovered him."
Miao Wuyou said, "Chaos Heaven Great Cultivator are extremely rare. At first, I thought this place belonged to Great Cultivator of the Demon Race, but I didn't expect it to be Human Race. I just don't know who this person is. Could it be that he has a grudge against some family and is hiding here? Has Your Highness noticed anything?"
Lie Shanhan shook his head. "There are always some people with mysterious origins who have never been seen by anyone."
Ji Xian's eyes lit up with joy, and he bowed again. "Ji Xian greets Senior Gu! It's been a long time, but you still have the same charm as before."
Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "You shouldn't have come back."
Ji Xian was taken aback.
"Back then, you risked your life to buy time for the Human Race's evacuation, and you deserved the title of Human Race Heavenly King. Although we have our grudges, I also have some respect for you."
Ji Xian fell silent upon hearing this. He was born in the Dragon Demon Realm and had aspired to become the Human Race Heavenly King since he began his cultivation. In his eyes at that time, the Human Race Heavenly King was the hero of the Human Race, embodying both duty and glory. He was once willing to die to uphold the reputation of the Heavenly King.
But today, everything has changed.
Only after they left the Dragon Demon Realm did they Present World was and how insignificant the Heavenly King Sacred Hall was!
In the Dragon Demon Realm, although the Human Race is subordinate to the Demon Race, the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall is fearless and can even confront the Demon Race Royal Race head-on.
But in that new Boundary Domain, there was no room for resistance whatsoever, and the so-called Heavenly Human Sacred Hall seemed to have become a joke.
After a long silence, Ji Xian managed an awkward smile and said, "That was just something from decades ago. The title of 'Heavenly King' was nothing more than a self-proclaimed title by us frogs in a well. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Senior Gu."
Standing behind Gu Yuanqing, the Dragon Demon Ancestor couldn't help but say with a hint of anger, "I think you brought this on yourselves. My Dragon Demon Realm kindly took you in, setting aside Lower Realm Boundary Domain, exposing its coordinates and bringing disaster upon yourselves. If that were all, it would be one thing, but when you Human Race left, you used underhanded means, bringing outsiders with you to break through the boundary. You are truly ungrateful and unworthy of being human. Back then, I should have wiped you all out!"
The Dragon Demon Ancestor could be said to hate the Heavenly King Sacred Hall to the extreme. The Dragon Demon Realm was originally peaceful, and even if there was chaos within the Boundary Domain, it would not be a big deal. However, after the Human Race broke through the Boundary Domain, it directly plunged the Boundary Domain into Life and Death calamity.
If Gu Yuanqing hadn't been there, the Dragon Demon Ancestor would probably have already killed Ji Xian to vent his anger!
Ji Xian looked at the old man, frowned, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"
Ao Jie's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and as his aura condensed, a phantom of a Demonic Dragon dragon appeared in the sky above North Spring Mountain.
"You are... the Dragon Demon Ancestor?" Ji Xian asked.
Ao Jie snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Ji Xian clenched his fist tightly and said coldly, "Humans and demons are different, and we have been sworn Blood Feud for generations. How can you repay kindness with enmity? You achieved Yin-Yang, and my Human Race has been oppressed by you for eight thousand years. This time, my Human Race has planned and schemed to break out of the Dragon Demon Realm. It's all just a matter of each person relying on their own abilities!"
He was Human Race, and the Demon Race was his enemy. Since ancient times, the two races had fought each other, and countless friends, relatives, Fellow Cultivator Cultivator had lost their lives at the hands of the Demon Race. As the saying goes, different positions lead to different perspectives on the same matter.
Ao Jie sneered, "If it weren't for your intervention back then, young master, I would have already slaughtered your entire Human Race."
Ji Xian sneered, "Back then, my Heavenly King Hall was indeed no match for you, but in the end, you were nothing more than a Yin-Yang Realm Demon Race. You were only arrogant in such a small world. Today, I am not here to see you, but to see Senior Gu."
Ao Jie said, "What right does a mere Heavenly Change Cultivator have to speak in front of Young Master?"
Ji Xian bowed to Gu Yuanqing and said, "Senior Gu, I have come to pay my respects on the orders of the Ninth Highness of Demonic Dragon Mountain. Although my status and cultivation are low, I cannot help but offer this advice: Senior is a highly accomplished person of our Human Race and demons are different, so please do not lower yourself and tarnish your reputation!"
A flawless version after checking every single one!
Ao Jie took half a step forward and roared, "How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to speak to the young master like that? You're courting death!"
As they spoke, outside the North Spring Grotto-Heaven, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, Thunderclap roared, as if it were about to strike at any moment.
Ji Xian felt a chill run down his spine. He was only at the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change Realm, far inferior to the Dragon Demon Ancestor. Although the Dragon Demon Ancestor had not actually made a move, the threat of death had already risen to his mind, so much so that he couldn't even speak.
Suppressing his fear, Ji Xian dared not mention the matter again and gritted his teeth, saying, "Senior Gu, you are Great Cultivator of this era. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and Demon God Mountain is the best place in this world. His Ninth Highness respects the virtuous and values talent, and is eager to recruit capable individuals. I have come here today to convey His Highness's intentions. I urge Senior Gu to consider this carefully."
The Dragon Demon Ancestor stared coldly at Ji Xian, saying nothing more. He knew that some things were for him to say, but some decisions were not for him to interfere with.
Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, raised his head, and glanced into the distance.
Lie Shanhan and Gu Yuanqing locked eyes, and then Lie Shanhan smiled and clasped his hands in greeting to Gu Yuanqing.
Gu Yuanqing calmly withdrew his gaze, turning it to Ji Xian, and said, "I remember telling you before that I only wanted to cultivate in peace and didn't want to provoke others, nor should I."
Ji Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he advised, "Senior Gu, please reconsider. The one you killed last time was Divine General of Demon God Mountain, which is tantamount to starting a war with Demon God Mountain. Right now, only His Ninth Highness can save you from this crisis. As long as you are willing to follow His Highness, His Highness will certainly treat you as an honored guest!"
