Several days later, the negotiations between the Heavenly South and the Mulan People finally concluded.

An additional condition stipulated that the Mulan People must resist any invasion by the Tuoba People with all their strength, while the other powers of the Heavenly South would provide support, joining forces against their common enemy.
Thus, the Mulan People avoided extermination and gained a place to rest and recuperate. But from that moment onward, they would also shoulder the same responsibilities the Nine Nations Alliance once had, remaining constantly vigilant against a Tuoba invasion.
Within the Heavenly South, to compensate the Nine Nations Alliance for its losses, each of the other Three Great Powers ceded a territory to some of the alliance's sects and factions.
The two sides had reached an agreement so quickly primarily because of the Tuoba People's appearance.
At the beginning of the negotiations, the Mulan People had demanded one-third of the Heavenly South's territory. Otherwise, they would continue fighting, even if it meant both sides suffered grievous losses.
Naturally, the Heavenly South would never agree to such an unreasonable demand. With both sides refusing to budge, negotiations had been impossible.
But then, unexpectedly, the winds and clouds shifted. Just yesterday, the Tuoba People had assembled large numbers of sorcerers along the grassland border and begun hunting down Mulan sorcerers everywhere.

And so, during today's
