Dark Phoenix spoke frankly and confidently in front of the experts of the three continents. His expression was arrogant, and he spoke with a condescending tone.
He rarely spoke so much, but at this moment, he couldn't help but spit it out. His words were filled with ridicule and ridicule.
This Daoist … Who was he trying to impress by acting like a grandson?
What were you so excited about?
This was simply incomprehensible and unreasonable.
This was just a war between races.
"If you don't even understand the basic rules of the world, then what is the point of cultivating the Dao and cultivating the heart?"
Dark Phoenix spoke with confidence and conviction.
He gently shook his finger and lightly said, "You are using the ethics and morals of humans to measure the Demon Race and even restrain the Demon Race. How absurd!"
When his words fell into the ears of the ordinary human race, they were naturally absurd, but from the perspective of the Demon Race, they were a matter of course, a wise statement.
And at this moment, many of the higher-ups of the allied forces were nodding in agreement.
This was because this was a race that didn't have humanity. If you were to talk about grief, indignation, benevolence, righteousness, and morality with them …
Wouldn't that be too … too stupid?
Different races had completely different standpoints. There was no meaning in discussing the Dao.
If you killed a school of small fish and wanted to eat them, wouldn't you find it absurd if a school of big fish came up and argued with you about whether you should kill the fish and eat the fish?
At this time, a crisp voice asked, "Senior Dark Phoenix, may I ask what the rules of the world are?"
Dark Phoenix raised his head and saw that the person who asked the question was a beautiful girl in plain clothes. Her appearance was like a painting, and her temperament was cold and bone-chilling.
She was like an immortal from the nine heavens, untainted by the mortal world.
The one who spoke was Zuo Xiaonian.
Dark Phoenix's eyes flickered with bewilderment and she didn't say anything for a dozen seconds. She was silent for a long time as she stared at Zuo Xiaonian. After a long time, she didn't answer Zuo Xiaonian's question. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
Zuo Changlu faintly said, "Lady Dark Phoenix, this is my daughter, Zuo Xiaonian. She's still young and doesn't know etiquette. Seeing that Senior Dark Phoenix is knowledgeable, she rashly asked. I hope that Senior Dark Phoenix won't blame her."
Dark Phoenix shook her head and smiled. "It's not strange, it's not strange. I can see that your daughter's spirit is clear and her bones are exquisite. She is truly a proud daughter of heaven. Brother Zuo is truly blessed."
Ever since Dark Phoenix had entered, although he had come to negotiate, he had been arrogant and condescending. It was as if he didn't place anyone in the three armies of the three continents in his eyes.
This was naturally due to the pride of the ancient experts.
But at this moment, she actually called Zuo Changlu 'Brother Zuo' and praised him for his good fortune.
Even Zuo Zhanglu almost felt overwhelmed by this unexpected favor.
Everyone else was also flabbergasted.
Why did Dark Phoenix suddenly become so polite? Wasn't this a bit too arrogant?
This … wasn't this attitude change a bit too fast?
Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He thought, 'Could it be that this old hoodlum has taken a fancy to my wife?
Damn … I can't say anything! '
He took a step forward and stood in front of Zuo Xiaonian, blocking her. Then, he said protectively, "Many thanks for Lord Dark Phoenix's praise of my wife. It seems that Lord Dark Phoenix's eyesight is only slightly inferior to mine."
This action immediately caused everyone present to not know whether to laugh or cry.
Everyone present was old and experienced. How could they not see through Zuo Xiaoduo's thoughts? They secretly thought that this brat's jealousy was too great.
What kind of person was Dark Phoenix?
Besides, they were all from different races. They were just putting on a show and casually praising each other. Most of them were just giving Zuo Zhanglu some face and easing the tension between them. But this brat actually took it seriously. Who knew what kind of evil vinegar he ate.
Hearing Zuo Xiaoduo's interruption, Dark Phoenix's pupils suddenly shrank. A ball of nether flames flickered in her eyes. Her eyes were like a bottomless pool, like the boundless night sky. She stared at Zuo Xiaoduo's face and softly asked, "Your … your wife?"
"Is there even a need to ask?"
Zuo Xiaoduo stuck out his chest, a proud look on his face. "She's my legal wife. So what?"
Dark Phoenix glared at him. "Married? In the bridal chamber? "
"Nonsense, we've been married for sixty or seventy years!" Zuo Xiaoduo said.
Dark Phoenix's eyes flashed. "Do you have children?"
Zuo Xiaoduo flew into a rage. "What are you asking so many questions for? Is this something you should be asking? "
Dark Phoenix nodded and sneered, "I don't think you have the ability."
These sudden and unexpected words made Zuo Xiaoduo angry!
He said I don't have the ability!
What does that mean?
Motherf * cker!
This is simply the greatest insult to me in my life, and it can't be any worse!
Zuo Xiaoduo raised his fist with a bang. "I, the Iron Fist Young Master, want to fight with you!"
Everyone was speechless. They all looked up at the sky.
This guy … really dared.
It was clear that he was very familiar with the past deeds of the Young Master Zuo Xiaoduo!
But taking ten thousand steps back, do you think you can fool people with your Iron Fist Young Master title?
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Dark Phoenix's temper was exceptionally good. He smiled and said, "I've always been frank and outspoken. When I say that you don't have the ability, I don't mean anything else. But … if you haven't cut off all your filth, you won't be able to do it even if you have the heart. You can only sigh helplessly. How about …"
He paused and looked at Zuo Xiaonian in bewilderment. "… Perhaps I was mistaken."
Zuo Changlu and Wu Yuting's hearts suddenly moved. They subconsciously looked at each other.
Wu Yuting smiled and said, "Lord Dark Phoenix still hasn't answered my daughter's question. We are also waiting for Senior's opinion."
However, he changed the topic without batting an eyelid.
Dark Phoenix took a deep breath and said, "The so-called rules of heaven and earth are nothing more than four words: the weak are prey to the strong!"
After saying that, he felt that his words were too general. He patiently explained, "In other words, the human race is the survival of the fittest. For example, human food includes poultry, wild beasts, chicken, duck, fish, sheep, horses, cattle, pigs, and even powerful beasts, spirit beasts, and demonic beasts …"
"In the end, the reason is that humans are stronger than those on the plate. Those races can only be eaten."
"On the other hand, if the cattle race is the strongest in the world, then humans will be reduced to cattle food."
"This logic is simple to say, but it is the truth. Think about it. You humans have been eating each other since the beginning of time. No matter if you are in the Jianghu or living your life at home, there will always be conflicts, grudges, competitions, and adaptations to avoid."
"Isn't killing or being killed in the pugilistic world another kind of situation where the strong preys on the weak? Isn't it the survival of the fittest in the workplace where the strong preys on the weak? Isn't it the survival of the fittest? In social situations, one needs to look up to others, or need to flatter and lower oneself, or be high up and give pointers … it is also the survival of the fittest.
"In short, it is these four words. The strong don't need to have any misgivings. Only the weak need to weigh everything!
"This is the rules of heaven and earth! It is also the law of survival! "
Dark Phoenix looked at Zuo Xiaoduo behind Zuo Xiaonian and said indifferently, "For example, I came here to negotiate today because I know that you will make a choice. You won't disregard everything and choose to fight to the death. This is where my confidence lies. Therefore, I can accept your conditions, or I can reject them. "
"If we were in different positions, you humans would be the weaker party. If you want to make peace, we demons would most likely not agree!
"Because you humans need to consider the big picture and have many misgivings. You don't forget to make a choice at all times. But we demons only follow our hearts and do things. We only have misgivings about whether we can survive or not. We don't care about anything else.
"From this point, it can be said that we live honestly, but it can also be said that we haven't evolved as well as you!
"Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, gains and losses."
"So that's how it is," Zuo Xiaonian muttered. Then, she lowered her head and bowed. "I've learned something."
Dark Phoenix took a step back and said, "There's no need to be polite. Since we've come here today, we should be frank and honest. This is fate."
Everyone was at a loss.
Dark Phoenix's change in attitude was truly baffling. She was completely different from the arrogant and despotic person she was when she first came in. She was even more graceful and elegant than them.
Dark Phoenix turned her head and looked at Zuo Changlu. "Brother Zuo, if you have any conditions for this peace negotiation, you can say them. As long as I can make the decision, I won't refuse."
Conditions?
Zuo Changlu also had a toothache.
What conditions can we have?
The Dao League has already been wiped out by you. Moreover, there's no place to defend. Even if we ask you to withdraw and you agree, the people of the Dao League won't dare to return.
Dark Phoenix said that the demons treated humans as food on their plate. It was already their nature and not something that could be restrained by a contract. Without the protection of a geographical advantage, how could ordinary people survive?
"Withdraw thousands of miles and live in peace. With the White Mountain as the boundary, we won't invade each other."
Zuo Changlu, The Flood Witch, Daoist Thunder, and the others discussed and proposed this condition.
As for extorting resources, Zuo Changlu didn't even mention it. Everyone had seen the poor appearance of the demons. How could these guys have any wealth to speak of?
"No problem!"
Dark Phoenix agreed without hesitation.
Both sides clapped their hands and made an oath.
Then, out of courtesy, Zuo Zhanglu casually invited, "Lady Dark Phoenix is a guest from afar. For us to be able to gather here is truly fate. How about we drink here before returning?"
This sentence was said in a very casual and polite manner.
Everyone was listening carefully because they all believed that Dark Phoenix definitely wouldn't agree.
This was just a form of verbal politeness and hypocrisy. That was all.
But Dark Phoenix's next action made everyone's eyes pop out of their sockets.
That was because Dark Phoenix had happily agreed.
"Okay!"
