Chapter 237 - 237 The Panic in Changping
“It’s better to do it today. The earlier I finish the matter here, the earlier I can settle my worries.”
Qian Yuan also agreed with Ye Xuan. In order to avoid further conflicts with the demonic beasts in Changping, it was better to divide the areas as soon as possible. This way, everyone would mind their business and be able to cultivate in peace.
All good things must come to an end. After persuading the demonic beasts, Ye Xuan was also ready to leave. However, the journey that originally only consisted of the two of them had become a journey with a large group of demonic beasts.
!!
With Qian Yuan leading the team, those great demons also believed that the humans wouldn’t play any tricks. Furthermore, there was Ye Xuan.
“I didn’t expect you to be able to convince them,” said Qian Yuan.
Ye Xuan empathized with Qian Yuan’s difficulties so he didn’t ask it to come out directly. After all, he was its great benefactor. On the other hand, there were many demonic beasts. It couldn’t ask all the demon beasts to pay the bill just because of his kindness.
However, it didn’t expect Ye Xuan to solve it so well.
“I know that the demonic beasts will be forced to obey if you come forward, but they will not obey heartily. They might even secretly play tricks behind our backs, which will be bad for our peace negotiations.”
If it wasn’t handled well, the peace shown would only be temporary, and it would lead to greater conflicts in the future. Under high pressure, there would be a backlash. Ye Xuan deeply understood this truth, so he didn’t want to take such a measure.
Ye Xuan hoped that these demonic beasts could get along with humans calmly and not pretend. Otherwise, it would only create more misunderstandings and harm.
After listening to Ye Xuan, Qian Yuan also seemed to be deeply touched. It couldn’t help but ask, “What if those demonic beasts don’t listen to you, or even refuse?”
“Unless they have no brains. I’ve already explained the pros and cons so clearly. If they still insist on doing things their way, I still have you.”
The other demonic beasts might not listen, but Qian Yuan would. With Ye Xuan mediating between them, Qian Yuan’s attitude towards humans had long changed.
…
The people in Changping didn’t know that things would go so smoothly for Ye Xuan and Shen Changling. Those demonic beasts even escorted them back and prepared to discuss things together.
Seeing that there was no news of the two, Yi Chengrui was extremely worried.
“Could something have happened?”
“In my opinion, Elder Ye and Shen Changling are too reckless. Those demonic beasts hate us to the core. How could they easily agree to negotiate?”
“That’s right. It’s already reached the point where they won’t rest until one of us is dead. Those demonic beasts have the advantage. Even if they give up temporarily because of Elder Ye, there will be a day when they make a comeback.”
“We already advised them not to go, but look at them now. They might have been detained by the demonic beasts, and we don’t even know if they’re still alive.”
Yi Chengrui’s expression changed slightly. “What nonsense are you talking about? How could such a powerful and capable person like Elder Ye fall into the hands of the demonic beasts?”
One must know that Ye Xuan was able to persuade the beast tide army to leave, so he must have some kind of confidence and a trump card. Otherwise, he could not make the great demons behind the scenes hesitate to attack.
“That was then and this is now. This time, the two of them entered the demonic beast’s lair alone. Who knows what will happen? Even if they encounter danger, they won’t be able to ask for help. They were up to the demonic beasts.”
No matter how powerful Ye Xuan was, he had entered the territory of demonic beasts. Yi Chengrui’s heart was in turmoil from everyone’s words. In addition, there was indeed no news of Ye Xuan, so many bad images couldn’t help but appear in his mind.
He immediately prepared to gather his men to rescue them.
Seeing Yi Chengrui turn around and leave, the others quickly asked, “City Lord, what do you want to do?”
“Of course, I’m going to save them. Are we supposed to just stand by and watch?”
“Even if we go, it’ll be of no use. It’ll just be a few more people who will die. If things have reached the worst point, or if Elder Ye can’t reach an agreement with the beasts, what’s the use of us going since he can’t do anything?”
That was truthful and straightforward.
Yi Chengrui stopped. “But we can’t just sit back and watch our savior be in danger.”
Everyone became silent.
To be honest, Ye Xuan had nothing to do with what happened in Changping. It was all because of them that he was dragged into this mess.
Just as everyone was at their wits’ end, a guard suddenly rushed in to report.
“Some… something’s wrong, City Lord! There’s movement in the demonic beasts’ forest again!”
One trouble followed another.
Yi chengrui’s heart was in his throat. “Let’s go and see what’s going on.”
Everyone came to the top of the city wall. They saw that there was a demonic aura not far away. It was obvious that great demons were coming. Although it was not as yellow as before, the signs were not much better.
Yi Chengrui’s frown could almost kill a mosquito. “What a powerful aura of demonic beasts. I’m afraid there are several of them.”
They could only vaguely sense that something was approaching because the distance was too far. However, the demonic aura that filled the sky made everyone feel like they were at the bottom of the valley.
A demonic beast with such an aura was at least a figure like an almighty master in terms of human cultivation. It was not something Yi Chengrui could resist.
He didn’t expect the demonic beasts to come so quickly. Or had they seen through Ye Xuan’s scheme and even kidnapped him, so they were so fearless?
