Dao Xiong chose to believe that Long Yuan could swear on his Martial Heart. Although they were both Emperors, Dao Xiong and Long Yuan did not have a deep friendship, and they could even be said to have never seen eye to eye because of Dao Jue's mother.
However, Dao Xiong knew that as an Emperor, Long Yuan must have his own pride. Long Yuan would not lie to him, let alone swear on his Martial Heart.
After speaking, Dao Xiong looked at Longyuan and calmly said, "Back then, there was someone else who had entered the ancient ruins. Furthermore, in order to kill so many of our Saber Sect's cultivators without anyone noticing, that person must have been a Di Zun."
"I also guessed so. However, after the incident, I ordered people to secretly investigate, but there was no clue." Hearing this, Long Yuan nodded in agreement.
It would be very difficult to kill Dao Jue's mother and the masters of the Saber Sect without anyone noticing, unless it was a Venerable Emperor who took action.
In the Great Thousand World, there were only a few Emperors. Unfortunately, Long Yuan still could not find any evidence.
Hearing Long Yuan's words, Dao Xiong fell silent and did not say anything. At the same time, he looked at Dao Jue. Obviously, he wanted Dao Jue to make the decision. It was up to Dao Jue to decide whether to fight or cooperate.
Understanding his father's meaning, Dao Jue looked at Long Qing, took a deep breath, and said.
"First, hand over my mother's body. Second, execute those who trapped my mother that day. After all, although my mother didn't die in the hands of your Dragon Palace, if it weren't for your people who trapped my mother, my mother might not have died. If these two conditions are met, I will agree to the peace talks."
Dao Jue proposed the terms of the peace talks, but hearing this, Long Qing refused without hesitation. "Impossible. Hand over your mother's body. Even if you didn't say it, I would still do it. However, it is impossible for Dragon Palace to kill our own people."
Long Qing could agree to the first condition of Dao Jue, but Long Qing firmly rejected the second condition.
After all, the strength of Dragon Palace was not weaker than that of the Saber Sect. The peace talk this time was actually the wish of both sides, not a unilateral request of Dragon Palace.
Therefore, it was impossible for the Dragon Palace to kill their own people in exchange for peace talks. Moreover, many of those people were now End Realm Almighties. It was impossible for Long Qing to kill their own End Realm Almighties. Wasn't that the same as weakening their own strength?
Long Qing's rejection was very straightforward. However, Long Yuan and Dao Xiong, who were not far away, were not surprised at all because this was within reason.
Long Qing and the other three continued the peace talks. However, in the encampment of Dragon Palace, Long Mie, who was still the Palace Master of Dragon Palace, looked gloomy. Below him, two End Realm Almighties of Dragon Palace sat on his left and right with solemn expressions.
Long Mie had always been the Palace Lord of Dragon Palace. However, his position as the Palace Lord was basically just for show. This was because Long Yuan had the final say in many matters. Long Mie basically did not have any substantial authority.
However, after so many years, Long Mie had already gotten used to his identity. But now, his position as the Palace Lord was about to be lost because anyone could tell that Long Yuan wanted to support Long Qing to ascend to the position.
If not for the fact that Long Qing had only joined Dragon Palace for a short time and was not able to convince everyone, his position as the Palace Master would have been taken away by Long Yuan.
Ever since Long Qing joined Dragon Palace, Long Mie had always felt danger. He always thought that his position could be taken away by Long Qing at any time.
As time passed, this thought gradually turned into jealousy and resentment. It was precisely because of this that Long Mie couldn't help but have second thoughts.
In Long Mie's heart, he thought that he had worked hard in Dragon Palace for so many years. As for Long Qing, she had just joined Dragon Palace for less than a hundred years. Long Yuan wanted her to take his position. Naturally, Long Mie was not willing.
Therefore, Long Mie had secretly started to plan how to keep his position as the Palace Master.
Unfortunately, in order to keep his position as the Palace Master, the first task was to get rid of Long Yuan. As long as Long Yuan was there, Long Mie had no chance.
However, Long Yuan was an Emperor Realm figure after all, and his prestige in Dragon Palace was unparalleled. It was impossible to get rid of him with Long Mie's strength alone.
He did not even have the strength to fight against Long Yuan. It could even be said that in front of Long Yuan, Long Mie did not even have the ability to resist.
Therefore, on the surface, Long Mie did not seem to have any abnormalities. However, behind his back, Long Mie always wanted to kill Long Qing and Long Yuan so that he could secure his position as the Palace Master of Dragon Palace.
With a cold glint in his eyes, Long Mie glanced at the two people below and then said in a low voice, "Do you think this peace talk will succeed?"
"Eighty percent." Hearing this, one of them said.
This peace talk had the intention of both sides, so the probability of success was very high. Hearing this, Long Mie's eyes became even colder. At the same time, he sneered and said, "What do you think the Old Ancestor will do next if the peace talk succeeds?"
"Support the Sword Sect." Hearing this, the two people replied almost in unison.
Given the relationship between Dragon Palace and the Sword Sect, or the relationship between Long Qing and Xiao Chen, once the war of Dragon Palace ended, Long Qing would definitely support the Sword Sect. This was unquestionable and unquestionable.
They already had the answer in their hearts. In this regard, Long Mie's eyes were suddenly filled with hatred. He almost gritted his teeth and said.
"Why? I have done so much for Dragon Palace and worked so hard for so many years. I am even willing to be a Palace Master in name only. But in the end, the Old Ancestor wants to abolish my position as Palace Master because of a little girl. Tell me, why? How am I inferior to Long Qing? "
At this moment, Long Mie did not hide his hatred and jealousy. In this regard, the two Elders of Dragon Palace below did not say anything, but there was a different look in their eyes.
Both of them were Long Mie's confidants and were loyal to him. That was why Long Mie dared to show his true thoughts in front of them.
After saying this, Long Mie took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice as if he was making an oath, "Since you are unrighteous, don't blame me for being disloyal. Dragon Palace is mine and I will not give it to anyone. No one can take the position of Palace Master from me, not even the Old Ancestor."
