Demonic cultivators were actually a group of slaves of the Demon Race. They regarded the Demon Race as their masters and wanted to obtain the powerful strength of the Demon Race.
Now, Xiao Chen and the others were not even afraid of the real Demon Race. Why would they be afraid of demonic cultivators? It was simply a joke.
After chatting for a while, everyone decided that if the war really ended, they would go to the Heavenly Chen Continent together.
In fact, Chen Yu, Emperor Qing, and the others were also very curious about the outside world. After all, they had never left the Heavenly River Continent. Naturally, they wanted to see Xiao Chen's hometown and see what the Heavenly Chen Continent was like.
Sooner or later, eagles would spread their wings and soar. After experiencing this bloody battle with the Demon Race, everyone had matured a lot and understood that they were weak. At the same time, they also had an endless yearning for the outside world. In fact, even if they did not go to the Heavenly Chen Continent with Xiao Chen, they still planned to go out and gain strength in the future.
Everyone present was a Holy Son. Naturally, they could not be losers on a continent. They could not become real powerhouses by working behind closed doors.
Everyone chatted while paying attention to the situation in the hall in the distance. However, judging from the current situation, the peace talks should still be continuing.
Xiao Chen had never experienced such a negotiation before. However, he could guess that it would be difficult for the two sides to end it in a short period of time.
After all, this kind of negotiation was not like buying vegetables. Both sides had a fixed price.
Since the interests of the two races were involved, the negotiation would naturally be a back and forth negotiation. Although the Great Ancestors of the two races must have a bottom line in their hearts, it was naturally impossible for them to reveal it so easily.
Who did not want to fight for more benefits for their race? Therefore, at the beginning, both sides would definitely set a high price. Then, they would slowly bargain until they found a point that both sides could agree on. Only then would the peace talks be successful.
It could be imagined that Xiao Sheng and the others must be fighting with Sha Yelu and the others. This was indeed the case. Although Xiao Sheng and the others already had a bottom line in their hearts, just as Xiao Chen thought, Xiao Chen naturally would not reveal his trump card at the beginning.
Therefore, at this time, the Ancestors of the two races were constantly bargaining with each other in order to gain more benefits for themselves.
And in this back and forth bargaining, time passed slowly. Soon, a day had passed.
A day had passed since the Old Ancestors of the two clans entered the hall. From the outside, the entire hall seemed very calm, without the slightest abnormality. However, a whole day had passed, and the Old Ancestors still hadn't come to a conclusion, which made the warriors of the two clans a little worried.
Compared to the others who were worried, Xiao Chen appeared to be very calm. It had only been a day, so there was no need to worry.
One had to know that this peace talk was not just limited to the war. More importantly, it was about how the two races would coexist in the future.
Humans and demons lived together, which naturally needed to be paid attention to. Therefore, in addition to ending the war, it was more important to settle various matters regarding the coexistence of the two races in the future. At least, they had to ensure that such a war would not happen again.
It was obviously not an easy task to finalize the various matters of the two races living together. It was very complicated. Various situations had to be considered. Moreover, a relatively fair and feasible rule had to be formulated to restrain the cultivators of the two races.
Xiao Chen knew that it would take at least three to five days. Therefore, in the end, Xiao Chen did not bother to wait outside the camp. Instead, he directly returned to his residence.
Just as Xiao Chen had guessed, this peace talk lasted for a total of six days. It was not until the morning of the seventh day that the door of the hall opened again. Then, the Ancestors of the two sides slowly walked out of the hall.
After six days, when they reappeared in front of the two races, everyone noticed that the Ancestors of the two races were smiling. Obviously, they were in a good mood.
In this way, it meant that this peace talk should be successful. Although there were inevitably some details that had not been agreed upon, the Ancestors of the two races had reached a consensus on the general direction.
This was enough. After all, this peace talk was only to lay a foundation for the coexistence of the two races in the future. As for the other matters, they definitely needed to be discussed and perfected.
After leaving the hall, Xiao Sheng's group of four bid farewell to Sha Yelu and the other two Ancestors of the Demon Clan in their hearts. Then, they returned to their own camps.
The peace talk ended. On the same day, the Ancestors of the two races issued the order to end the war. The Demon Clan also consciously removed the periphery of the Blood Gate.
For a time, the originally tense situation quickly eased. This made the cultivators of the two races overjoyed.
According to the agreement between the two sides, in the future, the five thousand miles around the Blood Gate in the Holy Yin Province would belong to the Demon Clan, and the rest would belong to the Human Clan.
Originally, they had planned to give half of the Holy Yin Province to the Demon Clan, but now, only one-third of it was given. This result was obviously beyond the Human Clan's expectations. Therefore, Xiao Sheng and the other Ancestors readily agreed.
For the Demon Clan, one-third of the Holy Yin Province's territory was already enough. After all, the Demon Clan did not need to live in the Heavenly River Continent. They could also live in the Northern Demon Continent.
As for the one-third of the Holy Yin Province's territory, its only function was to be a bridge between the Northern Demon Continent and the outside world. Therefore, the size of the territory was not important to the Demon Clan.
After eight years, after both sides paid a heavy price, the peace talks were successful and the war ended.
In the next half a month, the Demon Clan's army quickly returned to the Northern Demon Continent through the Blood Gate, leaving only ten thousand cultivators to guard the Heavenly River Continent.
At the same time as the Demon Clan retreated, the Human Clan did the same. Most of the troops retreated to the other three provinces in batches. In the Holy Yin Province, the Human Clan also left only fifty thousand cultivators to guard it.
Both sides began to withdraw their troops at the same time. Then, in order to show that both sides were willing to coexist peacefully, the two races also agreed to hold a banquet in the Ancient Sacred Sect. At that time, the three Ancestors of the Demon Clan, as well as the Saints, Sha Mohe, and the other Demon Princes, would all participate.
Of course, the Saints of the Human Clan, as well as Xiao Chen and the other Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Human Clan, would also participate. It could be considered the first gathering of the core figures of the two races.
Xiao Sheng and the others were not worried about inviting the core figures of the Demon Clan to the Ancient Sacred Sect. The war had just ended, and the Demon Clan would not start another war at this time. Moreover, it was even more unlikely that the Demon Clan would not covet the prosperity of the Ancient Sacred Sect. Because of the cultural differences between the two races, prosperity in the eyes of the Human Clan might not mean much in the eyes of the Demon Clan. Therefore, it was impossible for the Demon Clan to harbor evil intentions because of the prosperity of the Ancient Sacred Sect.
