In the Tiger Pen Hall, Zhang Dapao and Long Fei had already taken their seats. Seeing Zhang Dapao, Qin Shao couldn't help but remember the outrageous actions from last night and started laughing. Zhang Dapao glared at Qin Shao but didn't say anything. Long Fei opened his folding fan to cover his face, clearly delighted and enjoying the moment.
Zhang Hongshen stood in front of the stone table, "The reason I brought you here today is for one thing, to eliminate demons. My Zhang family is located in the northern Liang, far from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, and has not been affected by the initial tide. However, the regions of Yangzhou, Suzhou-Hangzhou, Jiangnan Road, and Jiaozhou have all been attacked by the demon clan."
“Jiaozhou, in particular, is a place where all the common people have been slaughtered; the losses in Yangzhou city are the next greatest, and those in Suzhou and Hangzhou rank third. Jingzhou has suffered relatively little damage due to the presence of the Qin family. Now, various demon kings have entered Xianyang to discuss peaceful coexistence with the current emperor, but there are still many demon kings unwilling to make peace with the human race.”
“The chaos in the Champa region has prompted the issuance of the Demon-Hunting Order in response to the empire's call. All enlightened individuals of the human race are urged to cooperate with the imperial army to eliminate the rebellious demon king. The rewards for this campaign are unprecedented, with military achievements determining the rewards. The highest rank that can be conferred is marquis, which, although not hereditary, marks only the second major conferment since the founding of the nation. You must seize this opportunity.”
I had heard for a long time that several demon kings from the empire had entered the city, but I didn't expect it to be like this. It's been almost a few months since discussions began, yet there is still no outcome. I never imagined there would be such significant events happening outside.
He can be promoted to a marquis, and Qin Shao can be considered half an imperial noble now. Apart from heritage, he has all the necessary titles, first as a count and later as a Demon Slayer General. This is even more impressive than the typical imperial aristocracy. Naturally, he understands what this promotion to marquis entails, and he feels a bit of anticipation in his heart.

Within the imperial capital of the empire, in the grandeur of Xianyang, several great demon kings sit in luxurious palaces, some with kind and gentle expressions, others noble and elegant, and yet others with an ethereal, immortal aura. There is hardly a trace of the characteristics of the demon race; these great demons, who have attained sagehood, are just like the masters who have attained enlightenment among the human race.```
What the opposite side is doing is precisely the work of several major guardians of the empire, as well as the current Emperor, Emperor Dan. A group of palace eunuchs and maids trembles with fear; it's rare to see such skilled individuals, so it's only natural for them to feel anxious. Moreover, the reputation of the demon clan isn't great to begin with, so being able to stand here and serve them already indicates a strong psychological capacity.
Although it is a negotiation, it is clearly taking place in the empire's court, and the human side's momentum is evidently weaker. On the opposite side are seven demon kings, while the empire only has five guardians. At this moment, Emperor Dan has confirmed the earlier report from Wu Qingcheng that one of the guardians was captured, resulting in the loss of a guardian.
Making this negotiation even more difficult.
“I wonder how you all have considered this? Since you all have come with sincerity, we have also shown our sincerity by agreeing to peaceful coexistence between our two races, working together to face external enemies, and allowing accomplished demons from the demon race to enter the human cities.” Emperor Dan said with a stern expression, narrowing his eyes.
Even under such adverse conditions, the emperor still showed no signs of losing control, fully displaying the regal aura of a sovereign.
“No, no, no, what we still want is what we discussed earlier: demarcating territory, not coexisting. We can guarantee peaceful coexistence with the human race, but we need to carve out territory. With such a vast empire, it shouldn't be a problem to designate a few large cities. We come with sincerity, as there are seven of us sitting here.”
“This does not include those outside who are unwilling to discuss matters; the strength of my clan far exceeds yours. Being able to sit here and discuss in detail with you already sufficiently demonstrates our sincerity.”
Both sides are deadlocked, each standing firm on their bottom line while holding their own concerns. Neither has torn the facade; whether in the past or now, the Beast tribe has always been the natural enemy of the two races. With the Beast tribe making a comeback, the true extent of their strength remains unknown to everyone.
Nowadays, the Yellow Catfish is facing a storm, and both sides are trying to stabilize the overall situation to prepare for the battle against the demon beast clan. Naturally, there is no capacity to engage in internal strife; Di Dan understands this very well. He can delay, and he believes that the Demon Clan will eventually yield.
一旦屠魔成功，外界几尊作乱的大妖荡平以后，他在这里也更好说话，“既然我们大家都没有谈论出好的结果，那今日就这样吧，晚上朕在宫中设宴，款待诸位，不知诸位意下如何？”
“Wait!” A king from the demon clan stood up, “We have been discussing this matter for quite some time, and the outside demon beast clan might come at any moment. Continuing like this is not a solution. We can agree to your settlement method; humans and demons living together, with great demons entering the city and lesser demons entering the mountains.”
“The two clans shall coexist in peace. The sooner we reach an agreement, the more time we will have to prepare, thus minimizing losses. Once we drive out the beast clan, we can move outside the defense line and will no longer disturb the human race. However, we also have a condition!”
Emperor Dan frowned, his two sword-like brows slightly arched. He had thought he would have to wait a while longer, but unexpectedly, the various kings did not insist today. Glancing at the expressions of those around him, it seemed they had already come to an agreement. He then returned to the dragon throne, placing his hands back on the table.
“What are the conditions? Please explain!”
“Since it's for the sake of goodwill between the two races, then shouldn't your so-called Demon Slayer General from the human race be removed? This would also be considered a gesture of goodwill, right? Furthermore, we hope you can hand over this Demon Slayer General to us, allowing us to deal with them as we see fit. Such an existence can easily affect the relationship between our two races after we establish goodwill.”
This strategy can be considered extremely insidious; it destroys the morale of the human race without the expenditure of a single soldier. The Demon-Slaying General was appointed only after the Nirvana battle, and it represents not only a title but also a right, serving as a symbol of human morale. By the name of slaying demons, all evils in the world are purged.
The Emperor had not yet spoken when the woman continued, "As a reward, we will also assist the human race in slaying the remaining rulers that threaten the peace between our two races. We strive for a time when the beast race returns, and the two races can unite into an unmatched force. It is important to remember that our common enemy is the beast race, not each other."
Under this condition, Emperor Dan's heart was stirred. Although it would affect the morale of the human race, if he secretly handed Qin Shao over to the demon clan, he would be able to gain the support of the seven, leveling the rebellious demon kings. In this way, the prestige of the imperial family would reach an unprecedented level.
The people's will is clear; this small loss of morale doesn't matter at all. In the short term, it's impossible for the two clans to engage in war again.
Emperor Dan nodded and said, "The people can be handed over, but it will take time to remove the title of Slayer of Demons."
Another king from the demon clan stood up and said, "In that case, it seems that the human king does not have any sincerity. Since that is the case, we shall not engage in discussions. The so-called talks are merely a waste of time. We shall take our leave today."
Tai Shi stood up and said, "Wait!" He then stepped forward, whispering something to Emperor Dan. The emperor nodded in agreement.
“I agree to your demands. I will remove the title of Demon-Slaying General, and the current Demon-Slaying General will be handed over to you, to deal with as you see fit. In return, you are required to assist the human army in pacifying the various chaos caused by the demon kings. In the face of the beast clan, we will form a completely unified front.”
“Good! The king of the human race is indeed straightforward. In that case, let us sign the alliance under the witness of heaven and earth, so that no one can retract their words.”
Is Qin Shao really that important? No, Qin Shao is not important at all. Even if he has great potential, it is only within the scope of the people and aspects he has encountered. In the higher echelons of a true empire, among the great rulers of the demon race, his status holds no weight. Even several major demon kings do not know who the Demon Slaying General is.
The reason for raising such a demand really does stem from the notoriety associated with the title of the Demon Slayer General. In fact, the human race's ability to break the siege of Xianyang and Xiangyang can indeed be partly attributed to Qin Shao, the Demon Slayer General. The various demon kings simply cannot wait any longer; the longer they delay, the more unfavorable conditions will become for them.
However, a request like this has been made at present, and from a broader perspective, Emperor Dan could afford to sacrifice a demon-slaying general to quell the rebellious demon kings in the various cities, gaining the hearts of the people and increasing his prestige. Such an action is naturally worth it.
Many times, whether it is a family, an army, or an empire, there is no such thing as right or wrong, only balance and interests!
