A Zifu Disciple flew towards Nanli Mountain from the eastern foot of Mount Fulong.
Outside the grand array, he shouted, "Senior Zhao Clan, who is guarding Nanli Mountain, I have something to discuss with you on Emperor Song's orders. Senior, please let me in."
Zhao Lingyan did not let him in. Instead, he sent a Zifu Disciple of the Zhao Clan to talk with him outside the formation.
Emperor Zhao was leading Wang Daoyuan and the others to intercept several flying ships at the border between Myriad Spirits County and Wucheng County.
Suddenly, he received a message that Song Yan wanted to negotiate.
After taking down several flying ships, he took all the resources and left no one behind.
Emperor Zhao took out a jade talisman and asked, "Song Yan sent people to Nanli Mountain to negotiate. What do you think?"
It was not appropriate for outsiders to express their opinions on such a major matter. Wang Daoyuan and the others remained silent.
Zhao Jingguo laughed. "It seems our methods worked. We didn't waste the past twenty days. It seems Song Yan has been hurt.
In my opinion, let's negotiate first.
We've taken quite a lot of resources in the past twenty days.
We can go back and rest. If the negotiations fail, we can come back again.
Otherwise, Song Yan might send a few more Golden Core cultivators to fight with us.
The small mountains south of Mount Fulong aren't much of an obstacle to us. "
Since the Zhao Clan had spoken, the others naturally followed suit.
After all, killing behind enemy lines was like putting one's life on the line. No one wanted to keep doing this.
Since no one had any objections, Emperor Zhao agreed.
The group boarded the flying warship and returned to Nanli Mountain.
After several rounds of Zifu Disciple contact, both sides agreed to negotiate.
The location of the negotiation was on a small mountain without a spirit vein between Nanli Mountain and Mount Fulong.
Emperor Zhao sent Zhao Jingguo, Zhao Jingbang, Wang Daoyuan, and Shi Zhizhong, four Golden Core cultivators to participate in the negotiation.
The State of Song sent its last remaining Golden Core cultivator, Adept Yulong, Adept Xuanming, and Adept Earthflame.
Everyone arrived at the small mountain. On a flat area halfway up the mountain, tables and chairs were already set up. Both sides sat down.
Adept Yulong said, "Emperor Song and His Majesty mean that the North and South Emperors of the State of Zhao will rule across the river.
The north of the Wan Chuan River belongs to the North Thearch, and the south to the South Thearch. "
Shi Zhizhong smiled and said, "Our emperor's intentions are clear. The Song Nation will withdraw from the Zhao Nation's territory.
The traitor Zhao Lingtian and the traitors of the Thousand Spirit Sect and the Cruel Sun Palace had all come to the South Li Peak to receive their deaths.
Since our differences are so great, there's no need for us to talk anymore.
Anyway, the backyard of the State of Zhao won't be on fire. Let's see how long Qi, Chu, and Wu can endure.
If someone were to perish, it would be the Song Kingdom that would perish first. Our Zhao Kingdom still has some time to prepare. "
As soon as he said that, the Jindan cultivator from the Kingdom of Song lost his cool and said hurriedly, "Daoyou, calm down. It's inevitable that there will be differences in peace talks. We can discuss the terms slowly.
Both countries had been through war for a long time and had suffered great losses.
If we continue to fight, no one will benefit. Instead, Qi, Chu, and Wu will take advantage of us. "
Wang Daoyuan smiled contemptuously, "There's no problem in continuing to fight, I just want to kill all the cultivators of the Cruel Sun Palace to avenge the old ancestor.
After the Qi, Chu, and Wu Kingdoms finished fighting the Song Kingdom, they should rest, right?
It wasn't as if they didn't have any conflicts, so it was impossible for them to continue working together.
After destroying the Song Kingdom, they will fight because they can't divide the spoils equally.
If we continue to fight, the Song Kingdom will definitely perish, but the same can't be said for the Zhao Kingdom. "
Daoist Earthflame's expression changed slightly, but he didn't dare to say anything because he didn't have any territory.
The more the Zhao Kingdom acted like they didn't care, the more the Song Kingdom felt uncertain.
Daoist Xuanming smiled apologetically, "Daoyou, calm down. We don't want both sides to suffer losses.
Since neither side can accept the other's terms, let's each take a step back.
The two Emperors are equal. The South Emperor only wants Zhennan County, Wanling County, and Wucheng County. What do you think? "
Zhao Jingguo stood up and clapped his hands, "Why don't we go back? From what they said, we seem to have lost and have to give up the territories we took.
I don't think we should just admit defeat. We should continue fighting.
The Song Kingdom's resources are really good. Let's snatch some back. "
The Jindan cultivator from the Song Kingdom spoke again, "Everyone, don't be anxious. We can discuss the terms slowly.
If it really doesn't work, we can remove the title of South Emperor and demote him to Prince.
However, we can't give up any more territories. "
To the Song Kingdom, the Sixth Prince's identity was not important. Territory was the most important thing.
Zhao Jingbang snorted coldly and said, "If you want territory, sure. However, if you have the ability to fight, that will be the territory of that evil creature.
If you don't have the ability to take it down, why are you talking nonsense to this great me?
If you can't get it on the battlefield, do you think you can get it with your mouth? "
The Jindan cultivator from the Song Kingdom answered, "There are too many differences in the issue of territory. Let's put it aside for now.
The Sixth Prince can remove his title. As a feudal lord of the Song Kingdom, the territories north of Wucheng Pass will be his conferred land. What do you all think? "
After holding it in for a long time, this fellow finally revealed his true motive. He wanted to turn the Zhao Kingdom's territory into the Song Kingdom's.
Zhao Jingguo slammed the table and stood up. "The Zhao Kingdom will not give up an inch of land. Even Wucheng Pass belongs to my Zhao Kingdom.
Your agreement with the three sects' traitors has nothing to do with my Zhao Clan.
If your Song Kingdom dares to take an inch of my Zhao Kingdom's land, we will take down the Song Capital at all costs, slaughtering the entire Song Clan. My Zhao Clan will not hesitate to be exterminated. "
Zhao Jingguo was an official of the Zhao Kingdom and could be considered the Zhao Clan's Clan Head.
His words basically represented the Zhao Clan and the Zhao Emperor's wishes.
Everyone knew what the Zhao Clan was like.
Once they were enraged, they would not rest until they defeated their opponent.
Back then, the Zhao Clan was angered by the Wei Kingdom and attacked the Wei Kingdom along with the mediator, the Zhou Kingdom. They even took over an entire county.
If the Zhou Kingdom could not suppress the Zhao Clan, the Song Kingdom's strength would not be enough.
Since the two sides could not come to an agreement, the negotiators did not have the right to make more concessions. They could only find another day to negotiate.
Three days later, the two sides negotiated again.
The Song Kingdom's Golden Core Cultivators were easy to negotiate with. They immediately said, "Our emperor agrees that the Sixth Prince can be the feudal lord of the Zhao Kingdom.
Wucheng County, Myriad Spirit County, and Zhennan County will be the Sixth Prince's conferred lands. However, Wucheng Pass will belong to my Song Kingdom. "
Wang Daoyuan smiled at Zhao Jingguo and the others. "I told you. There is no need to continue negotiating.
Without killing Song Yan, there is no point in negotiating.
If we kill a few more Golden Core Cultivators, they will know how to speak. "
Zhao Jingguo and the others also pretended to stand up and leave. Venerable Xuanming quickly dissuaded them. "After the previous negotiation, the differences between the two sides are much smaller. We can continue negotiating.
If the Zhao Kingdom has any requests, you can state them. "
Zhao Jingbang showed an indifferent expression. "His Majesty's meaning is very simple. The Zhao Kingdom will not give up an inch of its territory. Wucheng Pass must belong to the Zhao Kingdom.
That evil creature Zhao Lingtian can be the feudal lord. However, the conferred lands will be limited to the Zhao Kingdom's territory that you currently control. We will not give up any more. "
The Song Kingdom's Golden Core Cultivators did not hesitate and directly answered, "We agree to the Zhao Kingdom's request."
The moment they said that, the four Golden Core Cultivators on the Zhao Kingdom's side were stunned. Why did they agree so readily?
Wang Daoyuan quickly reacted. It might be that the Song Kingdom's backyard was on fire.
However, since he already said it, it would not be good to change his mind.
If he angered Song Yan, this rash person might really do something like perish together with the Zhao Kingdom.
Moreover, if the Song Kingdom was destroyed, the Zhao Kingdom would have to face the Qi, Chu, and Wu Kingdoms directly. It would be extremely disadvantageous for the Zhao Kingdom.
It was better to let the Song Kingdom have a certain level of self-protection and act as a shield for the Zhao Kingdom.
The Song Kingdom, the Thousand Spirit Sect, and the Cruel Sun Palace could not make any more concessions.
Afterwards, the two sides discussed various details.
One day later, the Zhao Kingdom and Song Yan signed the peace treaty.
On the same day, the Sixth Prince announced his abdication and the Zhao Kingdom conferred him the title of Zhennan Prince.
It had been exactly twenty-nine days since the Sixth Prince announced his abdication. It was one day away from a full month.
When the Sixth Prince was conferred the title, Wang Daoyuan mocked, "The Emperor is not even a full month old. He is the first in history."
The other Golden Core Cultivators of the Zhao Kingdom also mocked him.
Although the Sixth Prince was timid, his skin was thick. Even after being mocked like this, his expression did not change.
