The Human Race's proposal for peace talks was indeed good news for the Demon Race. After all, the Demon Race did not want to continue fighting. Therefore, after hearing Shamohe's words, Sha Yelu's first feeling was excitement and anticipation, but soon, he dimmed again.
He really wanted to negotiate, but so what? Was it possible for the Demon Race to negotiate? No, because it was impossible for the Demon Race to retreat.
As if seeing through Sha Yelu's thoughts, Shamohe continued, "Patriarch, Xiao Chen said that the Human Race is willing to give us a bridge to connect to the outside world, and this is also the basis of the peace talks."
Now was obviously not the time to keep people in suspense, so after seeing Sha Yelu's gloominess, Shamohe said directly.
Hearing this, even Sha Yelu could not remain calm. What did the Human Race mean? They were willing to give the Demon Race a bridge to connect to the outside world. In this way, it was equivalent to giving the Demon Race of the Northern Demon Continent a chance to live. If that was the case, then the Demon Race and the Human Race would indeed have the possibility of peace talks.
The flame that had been extinguished in his heart burned again. If this was a successful peace talk, Sha Yelu would naturally raise both hands in agreement.
After taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself down, Sha Yelu looked at Shamohe and asked.
"Did Xiao Chen say how the Human Race plans to give us this bridge?"
"No, he only said that these things can only be decided by the patriarchs of both sides. However, since both sides have this intention, I think we should give it a try. After all, we can't afford to fight," Shamohe said.
Xiao Chen knew the real thoughts of Xiao Sheng and the other patriarchs. They wanted to give the half of the Sacred Yin Prefecture near the blood gate to the Demon Race, but Xiao Chen did not tell Shamohe about this.
After all, negotiations required bargaining chips, and the bargaining chips were obviously revealed at the most critical moment for the best effect. Therefore, Xiao Chen did not tell Shamohe about this.
After all, the purpose of Xiao Chen's trip was only to build a possibility of peace talks between both sides. As for how the talks would end and whether they would succeed or not, that was the matter of the patriarchs of both sides. It had nothing to do with Xiao Chen. Of course, Xiao Chen could not make the decision.
He still didn't know what the Human Race was planning, but the fact that they could negotiate was good news for both sides. No matter what the result was, he believed that it was worth a try.
Therefore, after hearing Sha Mohe's words, Sha Yelu pondered for a moment and then said, "Go and invite Xiao Chen over. I want to talk to him face to face."
As expected, Sha Yelu wanted to meet Xiao Chen in person. Hearing this, Sha Yelu nodded and walked out of the tent.
When he returned to his residence, he told Xiao Chen that Sha Yelu wanted to talk to him personally. Xiao Chen did not refuse and followed Sha Mohe to Sha Yelu's tent.
This wasn't the first time Xiao Chen had met Shayelu, but he had only seen him from afar on the battlefield. Now that he was face-to-face with the strongest ancestor of the Demon Race, Xiao Chen cupped his hands and bowed in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Xiao Sheng greets the Demon Race Ancestor."
Facing Sha Yelu, Xiao Chen did not show the slightest nervousness. Seeing this, Sha Yelu nodded slightly and couldn't help but think highly of Xiao Chen in his heart. As expected of the most talented Holy Son of the Human Race who was on par with Sha Mohe. His bearing alone was extremely extraordinary.
He gestured for Xiao Chen to sit down. Seeing this, Xiao Chen did not refuse and sat cross-legged opposite Sha Yelu. Sha Mohe also sat down beside Xiao Chen.
After the two of them sat down, Sha Yelu also spoke bluntly.
"I heard that the Human Race Ancestor intends to negotiate. Is that true?"
"Yes, but I'm afraid you've misunderstood, Patriarch Sha Yelu. It's not our intention to negotiate, but the situation is forcing us to do so. I believe that the situation of the Demon Race is not much better than that of the Human Race." Xiao Chen nodded in response, but added another sentence after the battle.
The Human Race did not intend to negotiate, but they had no choice. Both races needed to end the war. This was Xiao Chen's idea.
The Human Race did not want to negotiate because they were afraid of the Demon Race, but because they did not want both sides to suffer and perish together. Understanding the meaning of Xiao Chen's words, Sha Yelu smiled slightly and thought to himself, 'He's really a little guy who doesn't want to suffer losses. However, this is indeed the truth. The Human Race did not intend to show weakness, but it was forced by the situation.'
In this peace talk, both sides had to show their attitudes first. It wasn't because one side showed weakness that they were negotiating. In fact, both sides were still on the same level. There was no saying that one side was stronger or weaker. Therefore, this peace talk had to be fair. Only in this way could there be a possibility of success.
He did not mind Xiao Chen's words. Although these words were a little disrespectful to Sha Yelu, Sha Yelu did not care about this little bit of face now.
He still said calmly, "I wonder how the Human Race Ancestor intends to negotiate? I think you should also know where the bottom line of the Demon Race is. "
"Of course, but I don't know what the Great Ancestors are thinking. I'm only here to create a possibility for the peace talks between the two sides. As for how the talks will go and what the outcome will be, I think it's up to the Great Ancestors of both sides," Xiao Chen replied.
After hearing this, Sha Yelu nodded slightly and said, "That's true. Well, Xiao Chen, you can go back first. I'll discuss with the other two Ancestors of the Demon Race and send Sha Mohe to the camp of the Human Race in a few days."
Sha Yelu was definitely inclined to the peace negotiation. However, there were two other Ancestors of the Demon Race, so Sha Yelu could not agree directly.
In this regard, Xiao Chen also expressed his understanding and nodded. After chatting casually for a while, Xiao Chen chose to leave.
He had already told Sha Yelu about the peace negotiation, and it seemed that Sha Yelu had agreed. As for the other two Ancestors of the Demon Race, Xiao Chen was not worried, because the peace negotiation was not only for the Human Race, but also for the Demon Race.
After staying in the camp of the Demon Race for a night, it was not until Xiao Chen returned safely to the camp of the Human Race the next day that Qin Shuirou and the other two women were completely relieved.
The three women did not care about the peace negotiation. In their hearts, Xiao Chen's safety was the most important thing. As for other things, they could ignore them.
After returning safely, the three women were relieved. Xiao Chen also immediately told the result of this trip to Xiao Sheng. After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Sheng was not worried about the decision of the Demon Race. Instead, he said with a smile, "You've worked hard.
"Kid, you've worked hard this time. Take a rest. I believe you'll be busy soon."
The Demon Race would not refuse the peace negotiation. As such, the next meeting was between the Ancestors of both sides. After hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen nodded and returned to his residence.
At the same time, the three Ancestors of the Demon Race, Sha Yelu, and the other two Ancestors of the Demon Race also gathered to discuss the peace negotiation.
