Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

When the devil heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then he burst into a deafening laugh: "Hahahahaha! Boy, you really have wild ideas! But... since you mentioned peaceful coexistence, I might as well listen to your opinion."

Lin Ze calmed down and continued, "As far as I know, the reason why the demon world launched this war against the human world is simply because you are extremely short of resources. If our monk alliance can help you find a way to obtain more resources, then this meaningless fight can be avoided, right?"

After listening to Lin Ze's words, the Demon King was silent for a moment, as if he was carefully weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Finally, he nodded slowly, expressing his agreement: "Well, you are right. If there is really a better solution than war, why wouldn't I be willing to give it a try?"

In this way, after some difficult negotiations and consultations, the Monk Alliance and the Demon Realm finally reached a temporary reconciliation agreement. Since then, this land that had been devastated by war has finally ushered in a brief period of peace. And Lin Ze still sticks to his post, continuing to silently fulfill the heavy responsibility of protecting the balance of the world.

However, undercurrents were flowing beneath the calm. Some radical demon generals were unwilling to give up and believed that the Demon King was too cowardly. They secretly planned to destroy this hard-earned peace.

One day, Lin Ze received news that a conflict had occurred at a resource area on the border of the Demon Realm, and soldiers from the Demon Realm had attacked the exploration team of the Monks Alliance.

After Lin Ze received the news, he did not dare to delay and rushed to the scene of the accident to investigate. When he arrived at the scene, he saw that the two sides were already in a standoff, holding weapons and glaring at each other, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder that was about to explode.

Seeing this, Lin Ze rushed to the middle of the two sides, then used all his internal strength and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please calm down! This is a violation of the agreement, don't act impulsively!" However, the leading demon general on the opposite side looked disdainful, stared at Lin Ze provocatively and said: "Humph, this is just a small friction, what's the matter, are you cowards afraid?"

Lin Ze thought to himself that there must be a huge conspiracy behind this matter. So, on the one hand, he turned around to appease his people and asked them to stay calm; on the other hand, he faced the demon general without flinching and explained the seriousness of the matter to him in a righteous manner.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense, as if even the air around them had frozen. At this critical moment, a black shadow fell from the sky. Everyone looked closely and found that it was the devil himself. It turned out that the devil had long noticed the abnormal behavior of his men and was worried that the situation would get out of control, so he came over in person to stop it.

The Demon King stared at the provocative demon general with a gloomy face and shouted harshly: "You bold lunatic! How dare you openly violate the peace agreement? Do you want to provoke a war between the two races?" Then, he solemnly emphasized again the importance and far-reaching impact of the peace agreement on the two races.

Those demon generals who were originally arrogant and domineering, now saw the Demon King coming in person. Although they were still somewhat reluctant in their hearts, they had no choice but to put away their weapons and slowly retreat.

After such a turmoil, Lin Ze deeply realized that if he wanted to truly maintain the hard-earned peace, the road would be long and full of thorns.

However, there was no trace of fear or retreat in his eyes, but instead he revealed an incomparable determination.

He secretly made up his mind that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles he would encounter in the future, he must redouble his efforts to protect this precious peace.

After Lin Ze returned to the Monk Alliance, he set about establishing an organization to oversee the implementation of the peace agreement. He selected the most loyal, reliable and skilled warriors in the alliance to join.

Soon after, a shocking piece of news came out from the mysterious demon world: the feared demon king was bedridden due to illness! As soon as the news came out, the entire demon world instantly fell into chaos, various forces were ready to move, and the internal power struggle became more and more intense.

After learning about this situation, Lin Ze was worried. He knew that the turmoil in the demon world might affect the peace that had just been achieved. After careful consideration, Lin Ze resolutely decided to go to the demon world in person to find out what was going on. He not only wanted to visit the sick demon king, but also tried his best to stabilize the current shaky situation in the demon world.

When Lin Ze stepped into the magnificent and gloomy palace of the Demon King, a heavy and oppressive atmosphere hit him. After passing through layers of corridors and heavily guarded checkpoints, he finally arrived at the Demon King's bedroom. The Demon King lying on the bed looked haggard, pale, and extremely weak.

The Demon King pulled himself together and revealed to Lin Ze that someone had recently spread rumors in the Demon Realm, claiming that the hard-won peace agreement was just a trap set by the Immortal Realm, which would ultimately cause the Demon Realm to suffer a great loss. These people with ulterior motives successfully incited the anger of the people in the Demon Realm, causing them to stand up and express their opposition to the peace agreement.

Lin Ze frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he proposed that the material assistance and technical support to the demon world could be appropriately increased to calm the dissatisfaction and anger of the demon world's people. Just as the Demon King showed some approval of this suggestion, a discordant voice suddenly sounded - the Demon King's younger brother jumped out aggressively, not hiding his desire and ambition for power.

This ill-intentioned brother wanted to usurp the throne of the Demon King, and took this opportunity to slander Lin Ze, accusing him of making such a suggestion with ill intentions and attempting to further control the Demon World. Faced with such unwarranted accusations, Lin Ze argued and tried his best to defend himself. At the same time, he did not forget to solemnly remind the Demon King that if this civil strife continued, the peace agreement that was signed with great difficulty would inevitably fall apart, and both the Immortal World and the Demon World would suffer heavy losses, and both would end up in a lose-lose situation.

The devil listened to the argument between the two, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. On the one hand, he understood his brother's ambition; on the other hand, he also knew that what Lin Ze said made sense. After a difficult inner struggle, the devil used up his last bit of strength to struggle to sit up from the bed, and loudly rebuked his brother who was still chattering, indicating that he agreed with Lin Ze's proposal to increase aid.

Lin Ze was relieved to get the approval of the Demon King, and he immediately returned to the Monks Alliance with a newly drafted cooperation plan. Although he knew very well that there would be countless difficulties and challenges waiting for him, he always believed that as long as everyone worked together and persevered, the dawn of peace would eventually shine on this land for a long time.
