Deep in Qionghai Sea, there is Chaoyin Pavilion of the mermaid tribe.

"Ah Heng, thank you for healing me." Li Wanji's voice was a little hoarse, "How long have I slept?"

"Not long, just one night." Canglanzi responded gently, handing a cup of warm water to her lips, "Drink some water first, you still need to rest."

Li Wanji took the cup of water, took a sip, and felt the dryness in her throat eased a lot. "How's the battle going?"

Canglanzi sighed softly and helped her lie down gently. "Didn't you see everything? You single-handedly defeated the entire human fleet, and none of the five thousand human soldiers survived."

"Ah Heng, it's time for me to get up and take charge of the situation." Li Wanji lifted the quilt and tried to sit up, but her physical fatigue made her movements seem a little laborious.

Canglanzi quickly held her shoulders and gently advised: "Wanji, take a rest first. If you fall, the demon clan will lose its backbone."

Li Wanji frowned slightly: "Ah Heng, I know you are worried about me, but the demon race is in a precarious situation right now, how can I rest in peace? Although the human race has retreated temporarily, there is no guarantee that they will not come back. We must be fully prepared."

"Wan Ji, you don't trust me, but you also don't trust Brother Jiuluo?" Seeing that she was still worried, Canglanzi patiently comforted her.

"Brother Jiuluo has led all the demon leaders to discuss countermeasures. We have many powerful demons, so we can handle it easily even if humans invade again. Your complete annihilation of the enemy has greatly boosted the morale of the demons. Leave the follow-up matters to us."

"Ah Heng, I'm really fine now, please let me go."

Canglanzi said helplessly: "Well, since you insist, let me take you to the meeting room, but you have to promise me that you will only deal with urgent matters and not overwork yourself."

Li Wanji smiled sweetly: "Okay, I promise you."

With the help of Canglanzi, Li Wanji slowly stood up and put on a soft mermaid silk cloak.

The two left Qionghai together and came to the demon clan's meeting hall.

In the hall, the leaders of various tribes had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Li Wanji appear, they all stood up and saluted.

"Patriarch Li, you finally woke up!"

"Thank you, Patriarch Li, for turning the tide and saving me from the dire straits!"

……

Li Wanji gently raised her hand: "No need to be polite, everyone. Although we have won this battle, it also reminds us that peace is never easy. We must always be vigilant and prepare for the rainy day. The strength of the human race should not be underestimated!"

Everyone gave a detailed report on the battle situation and strategies of all parties. Li Wanji listened to it one by one, nodded from time to time, and finally felt relieved.

"Wan Ji, you almost exhausted your mind yesterday, and unintentionally put yourself on the brink of life and death. That could easily cause irreversible damage, which is really not advisable."

Thinking of Li Wanji's behavior yesterday, Jiuluo Nanxing still felt scared. Fortunately, he saw that her complexion had recovered a lot today, and he felt a little relieved.

"If I have to watch our homeland being trampled by those greedy people, I would rather fight with my last bit of strength."

"Wan Ji, you have our entire demon clan behind you, so don't be so careless about yourself in the future."

Not only Jiuluo Nanxing, but even Cangyuan and Baili Changge, who were usually not good at saying such "gentle" words, couldn't help but speak at this moment.

The husbands were really afraid that Li Wanji would rush to the front line again regardless of everything. This family could not do without her at all. Her existence was the stabilizer of the demon clan.

Li Wanji was very moved. Her husband was handsome, her children were successful, and she was loved by the people. This was the meaning of her existence in the world.

She has devoted her life to the pursuit of supreme spiritual attainment, just to be able to live as she pleases, to travel through the heavens and earth, to shuttle through the stars, and to protect everything she cherishes.

Therefore, if she wants to live, no one can let her die easily!

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

At this moment, an urgent report came from the border patrol, breaking the momentary silence in the meeting room.

"A group of human immortals visited the world, claiming to be representatives of the human race's top leaders and came to meet with clan leader Li Wanji to conduct peace talks."

Li Wanji narrowed her eyes slightly: "Peace talks? They know how to choose the time."

Jiuluo Nanxing frowned: "Wan Ji, this may be a delaying tactic. We can't take it lightly."

"Yes, the human race is cunning and changeable, so we have to be on guard." Cang Yuan echoed, with a vigilant gleam in his eyes.

Baili Changge pondered for a moment and proposed a compromise suggestion: "We can listen to what they say first. After all, they have come to our door, we can't just keep avoiding them."

Li Wanji nodded, a look of determination flashed in her eyes: "Okay, I'll do as Brother Baili said. However, I will go and meet them in person to see what they are up to."

Canglanzi grabbed her sleeve, his brows full of worry: "Wanji, you just experienced a war and your body has not recovered yet. This trip is too dangerous. Let me go in your place."

"Ah Heng, I have made up my mind. This matter was caused by me, so I must handle it myself. Besides, with you by my side, what do I have to fear?"

The crowd couldn't persuade Li Wanji, so they had to follow her to the border.

Outside the border, a group of human immortals stood quietly waiting. They were dressed luxuriously and had extraordinary demeanor. They were obviously high-ranking figures among the human race.

Behind him was a magnificent golden chariot with curtains drawn low, so it was impossible to see who was sitting inside.

Seeing Li Wanji and others coming, a middle-aged scholar hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said in a clear voice: "Patriarch Li, I have heard of your great name for a long time. It is a pleasure to meet you today."

Li Wanji glanced at the other party and said, "I wonder why you have come all the way here?"

The middle-aged scholar smiled slightly and said, "I am the foreign affairs elder of the Human Alliance. I came here this time in the hope of having a peaceful negotiation with Chief Li and discussing ways for the two races to coexist peacefully."

Li Wanji raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Peace talks? I wonder what your sincerity is?"

When the Mountain Lord invaded in the past, Old Man Tianji signed a so-called peace treaty with her, but it lasted less than a hundred years and became a dead letter.

So, she was very curious about what new tricks the human race could come up with this time.

The middle-aged scholar took out a roll of gold and silk from his sleeve. It was covered with densely written clauses. He presented it with both hands: "This is the peace treaty I drafted. Please review it, Chief Li."

Li Wanji took the gold and silk, glanced at the contents on it, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

This so-called peace treaty is nothing more than a delaying tactic by which the human race wants to take a chance to catch their breath and secretly accumulate strength.

There are many clauses among them that seem fair but are actually extremely unfavorable to the demon race.

For example, the demon race is not allowed to actively attack the human race, but the human race can launch a "self-defense counterattack" when necessary.

For example, both sides should respect each other's territory and sovereignty, but the territorial scope of the human race is vague, leaving room for future expansion.

Li Wanji threw the gold and silk back to the middle-aged scholar and said in a cold tone: "Is this your sincerity? I think you have bad intentions!"

The middle-aged scholar remained calm, as if he had anticipated Li Wanji's reaction: "Patriarch Li, this is just a preliminary proposal. There is naturally room for discussion."

Li Wanji snorted coldly and was about to get angry, but she heard a light cough from the fairy chariot, followed by a gentle voice.

"Fairy, please do not be angry. Yesterday's battle was not ordered by my father. It was decided by the First Heaven without authorization. When my father found out, he severely punished him and ordered us to come here to apologize."

The curtain slowly opened, and a young man with a handsome face and noble temperament walked out of the immortal chariot. He was dressed in brocade clothes and wore a jade crown on his head. It was obvious at a glance that he was of extraordinary status.
