Li Wanji looked at the young man in front of her and frowned slightly: "Who are you?"
The young man raised his folding fan and smiled warmly: "My name is Xuanyuan Lang, the seventh son of the Emperor of Man."
There was a glimmer of surprise in Li Wanji's eyes. She didn't expect that the legitimate son of the human royal family would come to negotiate in person.
"So it's His Highness Xuanyuan. I'm sorry." Li Wanji bowed and said in a slightly slower tone, "I wonder if Your Highness has any advice for me?"
Xuanyuan Lang returned the compliment: "Patriarch Li, you are too kind. I don't deserve your advice. I brought some small gifts today to make up for the trouble that Yun Feiyang and others caused to your land yesterday."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a Qiankun bag opened. Hundreds of heavy boxes flew out of the bag and landed steadily on the ground.
When the lid of the box was opened, it was filled with various rare spiritual herbs, fairy stones and rare magic weapons.
These things are extremely rare cultivation resources for any cultivator.
When the demons and fairies behind Li Wanji saw this, they couldn't help but reveal surprise in their eyes.
However, Li Wanji just glanced at him lightly and then looked away.
"I appreciate your kindness, His Highness Xuanyuan. But please take these things back."
Xuanyuan Lang was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Li Wanji to refuse so straightforwardly.
"Patriarch Li, this..."
"Your Highness Xuanyuan, in yesterday's battle, Yun Feiyang's five thousand invading troops were all annihilated. My demon clan did not lose a single soldier, but your side suffered heavy losses."
"Therefore, these gifts are insignificant compared to the price you paid. Please keep them to comfort the relatives of your fallen soldiers."
When Xuanyuan Lang and his companions heard this, their expressions changed.
They knew early on that Yun Feiyang had been defeated. They thought that all the human soldiers were captured, which was why they had not received the news for a long time. However, they never imagined that none of the 5,000 elite soldiers survived!
This Chieftain of the Li Clan is so cruel and ruthless!
Moreover, in just one night, five thousand elite soldiers were wiped out, which shows how strong their power is.
How exactly did they do it?
No wonder they don't even bother to negotiate, it turns out they have enough strength to back them up.
Xuanyuan Lang came here today with the intention of using these generous gifts to redeem the captured human soldiers and at the same time to explore the strength of the demon clan.
But now it seems that his plan is going to fail.
Li Wanji's rejection not only embarrassed him, but also made him realize the power and determination of the demon clan.
However, Xuanyuan Lang did not give up. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and spoke again.
"Patriarch Li, the First Heaven violated the original intention of the two tribes to achieve peace without authorization, and he took a gamble and reaped the bitter consequences. It is indeed his own fault."
"But, the dead are gone, and the living can be pursued. I hope to contribute a little to the peace between the two tribes. I wonder if Chief Li is willing to give me another chance?"
Li Wanji sneered in her heart. She didn't even know whether the Emperor of Heaven knew about Xiao Yun Feiyang's actions, but the Seventh Prince was eager to put all the blame on the dead. It was a good plan.
The human race is so cruel that they can even sacrifice their own people for the sake of profit.
Suddenly I felt that Yun Feiyang was really pitiful. He didn't know until his death that he was just a cannon fodder who was fooled by others.
However, she didn't show it on her face, and just said calmly: "Oh? I wonder what His Highness Xuanyuan has to say?"
Xuanyuan Lang was delighted to see that Li Wanji was willing to listen to his details.
"Chief Li, to be honest, our human race is not united. Some people are ambitious and intend to stir up disputes between the two races and profit from it."
"But most people still yearn for peace. After all, war will only bring endless pain and loss."
"Therefore, I hope to reach a true peace agreement with the demon tribe and jointly maintain the prosperity and stability of the two tribes."
Li Wanji couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she heard this.
She didn't expect that the legitimate son of the human royal family could have such insight and vision.
However, she did not completely let down her guard. After all, she had experienced the cunning and volatility of the human race many times before.
"But if it's still the same treaty as before, I don't think there's any need to continue the discussion." Li Wanji looked at Xuanyuan Lang with a smile and spoke frankly.
Xuanyuan Lang looked calm. He waved his folding fan and said, "That treaty is just a preliminary proposal. It can be negotiated. I wonder what Patriarch Li thinks. You may as well speak frankly."
Li Wanji smiled slightly. This was exactly what she wanted.
"It's not impossible to coexist peacefully. I have a few conditions. As long as you agree to them, I will sign the peace treaty."
Xuanyuan Lang nodded: "Patriarch Li, please speak."
"First, the human race must recognize the territory and sovereignty of the demon race and must not infringe on it at will. Both sides should draw a clear boundary and not infringe on each other."
"Of course." Xuanyuan Lang responded, "We came here this time to coexist peacefully. We have no objection to this."
“Second, the two sides must establish long-term and stable trade relations and promote economic and cultural exchanges between the two ethnic groups.”
This condition seems simple, but it is actually very beneficial to the demon race. Although the demon race is rich in spiritual plant resources, it is not as good as the human race in alchemy and refining. By establishing trade relations, this shortcoming can be made up.
Xuanyuan Lang hesitated for a moment, then agreed: "This condition is reasonable. I agree to it on behalf of the human race. What about the third condition?"
Li Wanji's eyes flashed, and she slowly spoke: "Third, I want an important person from your human race as a hostage to ensure the fulfillment of the peace treaty."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
The human race members all changed color. This condition was too harsh. How could they accept it?
Xuanyuan Lang also frowned. He didn't expect Li Wanji to put forward such a condition.
"Patriarch Li, this condition may be a bit unreasonable." He said in a deep voice, "Taking people as hostages is against human nature. Can we consider other ways?"
This has happened more than once or twice. How can I be assured if I don’t put forward some conditions and constraints? As for the selection of candidates…”
She swept her eyes over Xuanyuan Lang and the others, and finally fixed her gaze on Xuanyuan Lang: "I think His Highness Xuanyuan is the best candidate. What do you think?"
"Wan Ji!" Jiu Luo Nan Xing showed a worried look on his face, "Wan Ji, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
He walked to Li Wanji and whispered, "Xuanyuan Lang is a man of deep thoughts. If we rashly leave him in the demon tribe, it may cause unnecessary trouble."
Li Wanji glanced at Jiuluo Nanxing and smiled slightly: "Nanxing, don't worry, I know what to do. Your Highness Xuanyuan, what do you think?"
Xuanyuan Lang suddenly smiled: "Patriarch Li is very thoughtful and has far-reaching plans. If I don't agree, it would seem that I am not sincere."
He closed his folding fan and tapped it lightly on his palm, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "However, I have a small request, and I hope that Patriarch Li can agree to it."
Li Wanji raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Your Highness Xuanyuan, please speak."
