"Qu Chu, are you really alright?" Lin Muyu could still see that Qu Chu's spirit sense had fluctuated greatly. For a Divine Realm expert, it was not an ordinary thing to have a calm heart.
"I'm fine, Yu, don't worry about me."
Qu Chu looked at Qing Yu on the wooden frame and couldn't help but say: "You should think about how to fight the demons. I have a feeling that they won't sit still and wait for death. Since the demons have Yang Li, Pei Xun, Huang Yi and the other gods to help them, they will definitely do something."
"Yes, I'm also waiting for them to make a move." Lin Muyu nodded.
At this time, as if to confirm their words, the sound of hooves could be heard from outside the tent. A messenger opened the tent door and entered: "Your Highness, the demons have sent an envoy."
"He really came. Let him in," Lin Muyu said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Everyone sat down. Qu Chu and Chu Yao sat on either side of Lin Muyu. He suddenly felt very confident. He was finally not fighting alone in this barren land of Clear Sky Province.
A quarter of an hour later, the demon envoys finally arrived from outside the camp. There were a total of nine people, four Armor Demons and five high-level demons. One of them had a scepter and wore the insignia of the Five Star Demon Sect on his chest. There was a trace of pride in his eyes as he walked forward and bowed to Lin Muyu: "The Third Legion's Vice Commander Huang Pu greets Your Highness King Qin!"
"Huang Pu?"
Lin Muyu smiled and said: "May I know why you have come to our camp?"
"This general represents His Majesty the Godking. Naturally, I have brought His Majesty the Godking's decree."
"The Demon King?" Wei Chou sneered, "How can a person hiding in a corner be worthy of being called Divine Emperor? Your emperor is called Divine Emperor. I wonder if the gods of the Heaven Realm recognize this emperor?"
Being ridiculed by Wei Chou like this, Huang Pu immediately felt a bit embarrassed. His arrogant momentum also converged a bit as he glared at Wei Chou. However, the person in front of him was the famous Duke Wei of the Eastern Region. He was a famous general who had single-handedly commanded 200,000 troops in the Longdan Army Camp and fought against the demons for four years. A mere Huang Pu couldn't compare with him.
Lin Muyu smiled and asked, "So, what is the intention of your Emperor Shenhuang?"
Huang Pu cupped his fists respectfully and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, the Godking's intention is very simple. Our Divine Race and your Empire have been at war for seven years. The people have no way to make a living. War will only make the common people cry. Not only do the common people of the Divine Race suffer from war, I think the common people of the Empire are the same. War will only bring death and tears, nothing else."
Situ Sen raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't forget, it was the demons who first launched an attack on the Empire. Now, we are giving them a tooth for a tooth. Are you saying that we are wrong?"
"General, please calm down … …"
Huang Pu was a man who knew how to speak. He said, "This time, this general only came to bring peace."
"Tell me, what kind of peace?" Lin Muyu said.
Huang Pu cupped his fists and said, "His Majesty the Godking believes that there is only one way to end the war between the Divine Race and the Empire. He wants the common people of both sides to no longer suffer from this kind of war."
"What method?"
"A martial arts competition."
"Oh?" Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh, "Tell me, what kind of martial arts competition is it?"
Huang Pu said, "It will be a fair and just competition. The Divine Race and the Empire will each send five experts to fight one on one. Three wins out of five. If the Divine Race wins, the Empire must immediately withdraw all of its troops from Heaven Connect City, using the steel wall of Winter Ridge Province as the boundary. The Empire will share the world with the Divine Race. If the Empire wins, His Majesty the God Emperor will voluntarily lead all of his people to leave the Sky Gorge and settle in the snowy desert in the north.
"This …" Wei Chou and Situ Sen looked at each other in dismay.
The bait given by the Demon Race was too big. They would hand over Heaven Connect Gorge. This was their lair. Originally, Lin Muyu planned to attack Heaven Connect Gorge three months later and destroy the Demon Race at the cost of the lives of one hundred thousand Imperial warriors and two hundred thousand magic crystal cannons. But now, as long as they won this competition, the Demon Race could withdraw from this war for supremacy without shedding a single drop of blood.
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Huang Pu's eyes were sharp as he asked, subtly pressuring Lin Muyu.
Chu Yao frowned and said, "It's good to resolve the war peacefully, but why do I always feel that the Demon Race is up to no good?"
Huang Pu couldn't help but laugh, "Miss, you're worrying too much. His Majesty the Godking's words are like gold and jade. Please rest assured!"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile.
"What is Your Highness smiling about?"
"Nothing … …" Lin Muyu was still snickering. What 'words are like gold and jade'? Who do you think you're lying to? In order to obtain the world, which monarch wouldn't say anything? Back then, Qin Yin even agreed to form an alliance with the Yihe Kingdom, but in the blink of an eye, he sent Xiang Yu to attack the Yihe Kingdom's capital, Bai Ling City. Only a fool would keep his word in times of war.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Lin Muyu said, "Are there any rules for this competition?"
"Yes."
Huang Pu said, "The competition is fair and just. You can't kill your opponent, or else you'll lose. In addition, both sides can't bring more than one thousand people to the competition. This is what His Majesty the Godking said himself. "
"How about this … …"
Lin Muyu stood up and held onto the marshal's table. She smiled and said, "I know that seven gods have come from the Northern Heaven Realm. They are Yang Li, Pei Xun, Huang Yi and the others. They aren't part of your God Race. If you really want to be fair, then Yang Li and the others can't participate in this competition. Only then can it be considered fair and just."
"This … …"
Lin Muyu's words were undoubtedly a heavy blow. The Demon Race relied on the Seven Gods. In five competitions, if five of the Seven Gods participated, the Empire would lose for sure.
Huang Pu cupped his fists and said, "Yang Li is a distinguished guest invited by the God Race, so … … His Majesty the Godking said that Yang Li will definitely participate. The other six Gods may not participate."
"So it's like that … …"
Lin Muyu muttered to himself, then said, "I agree to this competition, but … … Yang Li can only participate in the last match. If you agree, then it's settled."
"The last match … …" Huang Pu was stunned.
"That's right, I will also participate in the last match. We have already decided on the number of participants, it cannot be changed." Lin Muyu's gaze was cold. He understood Yang Li's strength too well. It was safest for him to fight him. If it was someone else, they might be killed.
"Alright then … …"
Huang Pu said proudly, "The five participants from the God Race are the Godking, the Saint Sovereign, Yang Li, Marshal QianFeng, and Her Highness Tang Xiaoxi."
Sure enough, the Demon Race still sent Tang Xiaoxi.
Lin Muyu's heart sank. He wrote down five names on the agreement and said, "The five participants from our side are the Fire Cauldron Qu Chu, Ouyang Yan, Chu Yao, Situ Sen, and me. Other than me and Yang Li, do you dare to fight each other on the spot?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Huang Pu signed his name on the agreement. There were two copies, one for each side. Then, Lin Muyu sent people to escort Huang Pu and the others out of the camp.
… …
"Yu, why did you count me in?" Chu Yao pouted and said guiltily, "I'm just a Saint realm cultivator, how can I be a match for the Demon Race's God Realm masters?"
"There's no need to fight, just admit defeat."
Lin Muyu looked at Qu Chu and Ouyang Yan and said, "For the first four matches, our chance of winning lies with Qu Chu and Ouyang Yan. You have to win, so I can deal with Yang Li in the last match."
Qu Chu was stunned, "Yu, you have the confidence to defeat Yang Li?"
"No." Lin Muyu shook his head.
Situ Sen glared at him, "Why the hell did you agree if you didn't?"
"Who said we have to fight with our lives on the line?" Lin Muyu smiled faintly, stood up and walked to the sand table. A cold light flashed in her eyes as she said, "I have never done a losing deal. There's no need to think about it, the Demon Race wants to kill me in this duel, but I won't let them do as they wish. Look, the duel will be held in the White Sand Slope. This is currently the territory of our empire and is under our control. The duel will be held half a month later, so we still have a lot of time."
Wei Chou couldn't help but laugh, he had followed Lin Muyu for so long that he could see through Lin Muyu's thoughts, he cupped his fists and smiled, "Your Highness, please tell me what you need."
"Here … …" Lin Muyu pointed and said, "Dig an underground tunnel from the river five miles away from White Sand Slope, form a large circle and place Bell Absorbing Rocks in the tunnel to disrupt the God Realm Rankers' ability to travel through planes. Then, bury a Magic Crystal Cannon every forty meters in the north. Since the seven Gods of the Northern Heaven Realm dared to descend to the lower realm to court death, I can't not help them!"
"Will the Bell Absorbing Rocks really work?" Qu Chu asked doubtfully.
"Qu will know once we try, the Bell Absorbing Rocks can disrupt the magnetic field and distort the walls of planes. As long as we bury the Bell Absorbing Rocks under White Sand Slope, Yang Li and the others can only teleport to the northern periphery of the Bell Absorbing Rocks' magnetic field in an instant. At that time, we will launch the Magic Crystal Cannon and create a chain of explosions, at least half of these seven Gods will die!"
"Such a ruthless fellow … …" Ouyang Yan opened her rosy little mouth.
Chu Yao also pursed her red lips and didn't say anything else. It seemed that Lin Muyu had already made up her mind to counterattack.
"Finally."
Lin Muyu pressed her hand on the edge of the sand table and said, "In this battle, no matter what … … we must snatch Xiao Xi back!"
"Yes!"
Wei Chou, Situ Sen, Fengxi and the others all gave an Empire's military salute. Actually, everyone was very clear in their hearts that Lin Muyu's scheme and agreement to this duel, there was only one real purpose — — to snatch Tang Xiaoxi back. Although this plan was filled with his own selfish motives, who could blame him?
