Holding a child-bearing system, seducing all the handsome male cultivators in the wilderness
Chapter 482: King of Monsters
The next day, a group of high-ranking officials from the Heavenly Court, led by Taibai Jinxing, set out on the journey to the territory of the demon clan.
The demon clan's territory is shrouded in clouds and mist, with magnificent mountains and rivers. It is completely different from the fairyland of the nine heavens and ten earths, and has its own wildness and grandeur.
Li Wanji was standing in the Holy Temple of the Wan Yao Palace on Dayan Mountain. She had heard the news early in the morning that Xuanyuan Wuji intended to recruit her, and she was calm.
Jiuluo Nanxing showed a worried look on his face: "Wan Ji, the messenger from Heaven is coming, you see..."
Li Wanji sneered, "You're just in time. I was just about to see what the Human Emperor Xuanyuan Wuji was planning."
Soon, Taibai Jinxing and his party arrived at the Wan Yao Palace.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Taibai Jinxing slowly unfolded the will of the Emperor of Heaven, elaborating on a series of proposals including enthroning the Demon King, granting fiefdoms, establishing an alliance contract, etc.
Li Wanji's eyes flickered as she savored every word Taibai Jinxing said.
"Senior Taibai, the proposal of the Emperor of Heaven should be carefully considered by our demon race. However, our race has always advocated freedom and disliked being bound. This canonization and contract is both an honor and a shackle for our race."
Taibai Jinxing knew that this negotiation would not be easy, so he smiled and responded calmly.
"Patriarch Li, the intention of the Heavenly Court is not to restrict us, but to seek common development. Although the nobles are strong, they still have complementary aspects with our clan in alchemy, refining, and talismans. The alliance contract is actually a win-win framework."
Li Wanji knew that the human race's show of goodwill must have a deeper meaning. "You and my race have already agreed to a 10,000-year peace, but now you are putting forward so many conditions and restrictions. Isn't this contradictory?"
Taibai Jinxing smiled kindly, "Patriarch Li, there is a misunderstanding. The Heavenly Court wants to further consolidate the relationship between the two tribes on the basis of peace and ensure long-term stability and prosperity."
Li Wanji was silent for a moment, secretly weighing the pros and cons.
Today, although the demon race is rising rapidly, its foundation is still unstable. If it were to confront the human race head-on at this time, its chances of winning would not be great.
You might as well just agree to it for now, use the resources of Heaven to further consolidate the power of the demon clan, and then plan your grand plan when the time is right.
It would only take about another five hundred years, when her husband and children grow up, and the demon clan's strength would surely be further enhanced.
At that time, the human race will have to re-examine the power of the demon race.
Thinking of this, Li Wanji chuckled, "Senior Taibai's words make sense. My demon clan is willing to seek common development with the Heavenly Court. However, regarding the canonization and contract, I still need to discuss it with the elders of my clan before I can give a final answer."
"Of course, of course." Taibai Jinxing nodded quickly, "Patriarch Li has been thoughtful. We are willing to wait here and wait for good news."
"No need to go to such trouble. Senior, you can go back to Heaven to report first. Once our demon clan has discussed everything, we will send someone to Heaven to give you a clear answer."
Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing stopped forcing him. He knew that forcing too hard would only backfire, so he went with the flow and said, "In that case, I will take my leave first."
After saying this, Taibai Jinxing and his party said goodbye and left, returning to heaven.
After Taibai Jinxing left, Li Wanji turned to Jiuluo Nanxing and said, "Nanxing, pass the order and gather all the elders. I want to call an emergency meeting."
Jiuluo Nanxing immediately took the order and left.
In the Heavenly Palace, after Taibai Jinxing returned, he reported his conversation with Li Wanji to Xuanyuan Wuji one by one.
After hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven did not show any surprise, but just smiled faintly.
"Everything is as expected. The demons will not surrender easily, but they will not give up such an opportunity easily either."
"Taibai, you did a great job. Next, we just need to wait for the response from the demon tribe and be prepared for possible changes."
"As you wish, Your Majesty." Taibai Jinxing bowed.
For a moment, the entire fairy world seemed to hold its breath, waiting for the final answer from the demon clan. A game concerning the fate of the two clans had just begun.
A few days later, the envoys of the demon clan led by Li Wanji arrived at the Heavenly Palace.
Led by Taibai Jinxing, they arrived at the Lingxiao Palace. Xuanyuan Wuji sat high on it, sweeping his eyes majestically over the demon clan's envoys.
The negotiations began, and the two sides engaged in fierce bargaining over matters such as enthronement, fiefdom, and alliance contract.
Li Wanji personally took to the battlefield and started a verbal battle with Taibai Jinxing.
Her words were sharp, yet graceful, showing the pride and stance of the demon race while subtly revealing her willingness to cooperate.
After intense negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
The demon clan accepted the canonization and contract from the Heavenly Court, but at the same time they also strived for the greatest benefits.
The conferred Lingxiao Blessed Land, Cuiwei Continent and the other seven treasured places in the fairyland alone are enough to bring the overall strength of the demon race to a higher level.
Moreover, the tribute of rare resources stipulated in the contract is just a drop in the bucket for the demon clan and will not cause any harm to their foundation at all.
"Very good, Li Wanji, your wisdom and decisiveness are worthy of the title of Demon King." Xuanyuan Wuji nodded with satisfaction.
Li Wanji bowed slightly and saluted, "Thank you for the praise, His Majesty the Emperor. Wanji is just seeking the welfare of the demon race. I hope the two races can take this opportunity to create brilliance together."
"That's right." Xuanyuan Wuji promised, then waved his sleeves, a golden light flashed, and a jade seal engraved with the words "King of All Monsters" slowly flew towards Li Wanji.
Li Wanji stretched out her hand to take it, feeling the great power of the jade seal, and thought to herself:
"Demon King" is just an empty title, the vested interests are real. When the time is right, whether to keep or abandon the jade seal is entirely up to the will of our demon clan.
"The celebration will be held in a month. By then, I hope the Demon King can bring important officials of the demon clan to participate in the celebration." Taibai Jinxing reminded in time.
"We will definitely live up to your expectations." Li Wanji responded, and then she led the demon envoys, bid farewell to the heaven, and returned to the demon territory to prepare for the celebration.
On the eve of the celebration, there was jubilation in the demon territory, and the Ten Thousand Demons Palace was extremely busy, preparing for various matters related to the trip to the Heavenly Palace.
Li Wanji stood on the main hall, looking at the busy monsters below, feeling mixed emotions.
"Wan Ji, you must be careful when you go to heaven." Jiuluo Nanxing reminded, his eyes full of worry.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Li Wanji smiled slightly, but she had already thought everything out in her mind.
On the day of the celebration, the demon tribe marched towards the heaven in a mighty procession. The scene was so spectacular that all the immortals in the fairy world were amazed.
Li Wanji, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a pearl crown, walked into the Lingxiao Palace. For a moment, the entire palace seemed to be more glorious because of her arrival.
Xuanyuan Wuji came to greet them personally, and the two stood side by side, accepting congratulations from the immortals in the fairy world together.
At the celebration, there were heavenly music, delicious food and a peaceful scene, as if the grudges between the two tribes were resolved at this moment.
However, behind the peace are deeper plans and layouts by both sides.
The demon clan took advantage of the power of Heaven to secretly accumulate strength; Heaven further consolidated its rule through the demon clan, while also looking for ways to check and balance the demon clan.
This game has just begun, and there is still a long way to go.
