When Elder Wen rushed to the peace consulate, he could already feel the smell of "gunpowder". The atmosphere in the peace consulate wasn't "peaceful" at all. Instead, it was a little tense. Although he had long expected that this kind of negotiation would have no results, Elder Wen still sighed in his heart and slowly walked in.
In the peace consulate, the envoys from the Southern, Western, and Northern Territories had been waiting for a long time.
The three envoys sent this time were direct ambassadors of the demon gods of the south, north, and west: Daoist Horse Face under Venerable Ox of the west, Daoist Witch Demon under Ghost Emperor of the south, and Daoist Bronze Turtle under Turtle Devil of the north.
This time, the three territories colluded to exclude the East Territory, which was something that even Scorpion King did not expect, and this negotiation could be said to be insincere. If they really wanted to resolve this matter peacefully, they shouldn't have just sent emissaries to negotiate. At the very least, the three territories should have sent a Demon God as a representative. However, the ones sitting here were merely the emissaries of the three territories.
In the conference hall of the peace consulate, there was a round table. The Southern, Western, and Northern Emissaries sat around the round table with their fingers crossed and their heads in deep thought.
Elder Wen was silent and did not say anything. He found a place to sit down.
After a minute or two of silence, Daoist Horse Face said, "The envoys of our three territories have come to the consulate today for peace talks. Why didn't Scorpion King of the East personally receive us?"
Elder Wen silently rolled his eyes in his heart.
These were questions that he already knew the answer to …
The three of them already knew that the Eastern Region Demon God Scorpion Emperor would not appear, so they purposely made things difficult for him.
"Scorpion King is busy playing ranked at home today. I'm afraid he won't have time to come over." Elder Wen cupped his fists.
The envoys from the three territories: "…"
Elder Wen casually pulled out a seat and sat down. His face showed a fearless expression, completely ready to die bravely.
Daoist Horse Face was still staring at him relentlessly. "Who allowed you to sit down?"
As a result, Elder Wen did not listen to him at all and even crossed his legs.
Since he was going to die today, what was there to be afraid of …
"…"
Daoist Horse Face's face darkened. "Are you not giving me face?"
"We are all emissaries, and the peace consulate was established in the spirit of fair negotiations. But whether it's fair or not, don't the three of you know? " Elder Wen was not afraid at all. He simply said this directly, "Today, I have come with the determination to die, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Is this the Scorpion King's intention?" Daoist Witch Demon smiled. "Do you know that you are fighting against three territories? Your puny Sky-Swallowing Toad clan dares to stir up a conflict in the demon region. Even if any descendants of your clan survive in the future … they'll be nothing more than street rats wherever they go … "
"Ever since the rumor that our clan hid a magic weapon of mass destruction for King Scorpion, all kinds of rumors have been spreading in the southern, western, and northern regions. When a lie is spread a thousand times, it will become true even if it is false. This matter was originally made up, and everyone in the Eastern Domain knows about it. If the three envoys represent the three domains and insist on putting the blame on me, then I can't afford to bear the blame of the three domains. "Elder Wen waved his hand.
Daoist Horse Face's face darkened and his voice was incomparably gloomy. "Since you're already prepared to die, we won't say anything more. If you have the guts, try walking out of this consulate …"
"What? You don't dare make a move on me in this consulate? "Elder Wen smiled lightly.
He was well aware that the peace consulate had been set up under Demon Saint's orders, and its original purpose was to mediate the conflict between the demon regions. Rumor had it that Demon Saint had set up a restriction in the peace consulate, and anyone who dared make a move in the consulate would immediately be punished by Demon Saint's restriction.
This rumor had always existed, but no one had ever dared to put it into practice.
Thus, Elder Wen felt that he could bet that these three people absolutely wouldn't dare make a move on him, at least in the peace consulate.
In fact, Elder Wen's guess was indeed proven.
Because they were overly fearful of Demon Saint's restriction, the faces of Daoist Horse Face, Daoist Witch Demon, and Daoist Bronze Turtle from the southern, western, and northern regions instantly darkened.
Daoist Horse Face: "You clearly know that Demon Saint's restriction is in this consulate. How could we make a move so easily?"
Elder Wen couldn't help laughing. "I clearly know that I'll be throwing my life away if I go out, so why should I?"
Daoist Horse Face, Daoist Witch Demon, and Daoist Bronze Turtle: "…"
Just looking at the expressions of these three people, Elder Wen's heart was already completely at ease.
Although it was just a rumor that Demon Saint's restriction was in the peace consulate, this rumor had already spread a long time ago. However, no one had ever died under this restriction, because no one dared make a move … They were afraid that Demon Saint's restriction would really activate.
Thus, Elder Wen wasn't in the mood to verify whether this restriction really existed; he had just wanted to take a gamble from the start.
Now that he had confirmed that these three people wouldn't dare make a move on him, Elder Wen was simply overjoyed. He stared at Daoist Horse Face. "Hit me!"
Then he straightaway did a standing long jump in front of Daoist Horse Face. "You can't do it!"
The envoys from the three territories: "…"
Elder Wen: "Curse at me! … You can't open your mouth! "
The envoys from the three territories: "…"
The corner of Daoist Horse Face's mouth twitched. After thinking for a long time, he decided to take a step back in order to advance. "Our three territories all have manners! It's impossible for us to make a move on the envoys! Since Scorpion King isn't here today, why don't we discuss this another day when he's free … "According to their original plan, they hadn't planned to kill Elder Wen to begin with, but to detain and arrest him in the name of privately possessing a" magic weapon of mass destruction. "
But even if they were going to arrest him, they would still have to resort to witchcraft …
The problem was, who would dare make a move in the peace consulate?
"I've already seen through the three territories' ability to frame others …"
Elder Wen didn't believe their nonsense at all. From the moment he entered the room, their eyes had already said it all.
Daoist Horse Face couldn't help asking, "Then what do you want to do? Don't tell me you still want to live here? "
"Pa!"
Elder Wen snapped his fingers. "You're right!"
The envoys from the three territories: "…"
Elder Wen sat down cross-legged and took out a brocade pouch from which he then took out his pots, bowls, ladles, and basins. There was also a glass bottle, and this glass bottle was filled with insect eggs.
Elder Wen: "This bottle contains the large meat flies produced by my clan. There are a hundred thousand male eggs and a hundred thousand female eggs, and some of them are already about to hatch. This way, we won't have to worry about food supplies … Furthermore, I'm also old and can't eat much … As long as I have this bottle, I can live here until I die of old age. "
The envoys from the three territories: "…"
Holding the glass bottle, Elder Wen smiled. "Who do you think can survive better than my clan in the three territories?"
