The Qin-Demon War: Cheap Lives!
"But it's alright..."
"At least for now, your White Dragon Clan doesn't intend to go down this path to the bitter end. However, this war isn't something that you or I can end just because we want to!"
"The four factions in Central Lands have begun a bloody battle!"
"That's a full twenty-eight Nascent Soul Nascent Soul. Including the Nine Dragons Sea of the Fortune Heaven Sect, there are forty-three Nascent Soul participating in this war..."
"This doesn't even include your Northern Nether Sea, my Great Qin, or the entire Demon Race of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains..."
"The number of Nascent Soul Cultivator participating in this battle has reached over fifty!"
"Almost every Nascent Soul in the world participated in this war!"
"Dragon Emperor, you must understand that those in positions of authority must fulfill their duties. Now that the world is in turmoil once again, none of us can escape blame!"
"There's no way I can save myself!"
"Either you become strong enough to become one of the heroes who reign supreme in this world, or you choose to stand on one side and fight to the end..."
"We have no other choice!"
"Even if we agree to a ceasefire and peace, would the Fortune Heaven Sect be willing? Would the Nine Dragons Sea be willing? Does your White Dragon Clan dare to back down even a step...?"
They'll kill you as a sacrifice!
"You don't need to refute this point. You already considered this when you came to me to discuss this matter. I don't care what you think..."
"But I offer you a piece of advice: if you wish to preserve your people..."
"Either side with my Great Qin!"
"Either we fight to the death!"
"You have no other choice! Including my Great Qin, since we've chosen to sit at the card table, there's no turning back!"
"It's impossible to back out now!"
After saying that--
For a moment, both the White Dragon Emperor and Qin Lu fell silent...
After a long while, the White Dragon Emperor kept predicting the future situation in his mind, until finally, he seemed to have a guess...
For the first time, he felt that this war might have been doomed from the very beginning!
He seemed to see a net slowly tightening, and he also saw that the land of Northern Qin was one of the loopholes in this net...
"I understand..."
"The White Dragon Clan cannot be wiped out; this is my bottom line..."
"Besides that, everything else is just fleeting smoke. I'm tired of this war, but compared to the Fortune Heaven Sect..."
"Perhaps the Great Qin wouldn't be a bad option."
"The Fortune Heaven Sect harbors grand ambitions. Even if I, the Emperor, wholeheartedly submit, the struggle for the Great Dao is inherently ruthless. Even if I allow myself to be slaughtered by others..."
"I'm afraid they won't get away with it!"
This moment-
The White Dragon Emperor made his decision. Compared to the Fortune Heaven Sect, associating with the Qin Clan meant he wouldn't have to worry about being killed and forced to make way...
The Fortune Heaven Sect them is to overturn the Great Dao of Ice and Snow and make the Fortune Dao the core of heaven and earth!
There are irreconcilable conflicts between them, but within the Great Qin, there is still room for reconciliation...
This alone is enough to make the White Dragon Emperor change his stance!
"Fellow Daoist Qin, please speak."
After we both... what should we do next?
Upon hearing this—
Qin Lu smiled and looked at the human and demon armies that were fiercely fighting in the distance. If you're going to put on a show, then you might as well make it real!
Before the Fortune Heaven Sect makes its move in the Central Lands, the Northern Continent cannot make a move either!
Only when the Fortune Heaven Sect takes action can they immediately turn their attention to sealing off the Northern Continent and thus launch a military campaign to the Fortune Heaven Sect...
This was Qin Lu's idea: Fortune Heaven Sect didn't move, their northern battlefield couldn't move either!
"The struggle between Qin and the demons must continue on the northern battlefield!"
"Even the intensity of the war needs to be increased. Let the Qi Mystic Bird Race and the Giant Whale Clan go in. These two clans..."
"They are the sacrifices to protect your White Dragon Clan!"
"While we're at it, it'll also help cleanse our Great Qin of some corrupt blood. Only by secretly becoming allies can we safeguard the peace and stability of both our families..."
"How?"
What else can be done now?
The White Dragon Emperor finally agreed. As the saying goes, "Better to Death Dao," meaning he would sacrifice the interests of other races...
It's better than sacrificing the interests of one's own people!
After that, even the White Dragon Emperor and Qin Lu made a brief Dao Oath to bind each other...
This clandestine deal has come to an end, something no one expected.
In that very brief moment...
Qin Lu and the White Dragon Emperor have surprisingly turned from enemies to friends and secretly formed an alliance!
The situation became increasingly unpredictable, and the battle in the north became increasingly bloody and brutal, even bordering on massacre...
This moment-
In Qin Lu's eyes, or perhaps in the eyes of the White Dragon Emperor, the battles between these cultivators and Demon Race had lost all value...
Their deaths were meaningless!
It was merely a matter of fulfilling the agreement reached between the two rulers, and their lives would ultimately be dictated by this overwhelming force...
Life is as worthless as grass, utterly devoid of life!
To achieve Qin Lu and to make the war seem more authentic, the Qin Clan even began dispatching legions...
Fight the Demon Race army head-on in the most ancient way!
The purpose was to make the scene sufficiently bloody!
This makes all of this seem more reasonable, allowing the Fortune Heaven Sect to comfortably reap the benefits and lower their guard...
