The Ice Demon Empress stared blankly for a moment before nodding, "What are your conditions? As long as it's within our means, we'll do our best to fulfill them."
"Very well, Your Majesty is very straightforward!"
Lin Xuan nodded, "I have three conditions.
First, the Tribulation Transcendence Stone belongs to me.
Second, if one day the Ice Demon Race escapes, you must not make an enemy out of the human race. You must also swear a Blood Oath that you will never betray me.
Third, I want the Demon Core of the Hunting Rat Emperor and the Demon Core of the Hunting Rat King. The more, the better. "
After listening to Lin Xuan, the Ice Demon Empress couldn't help but frown. Her face was solemn, and she seemed to be hesitating.
Li Ya Guan was anxious, but she didn't know what to say.
After a moment of silence, the Ice Demon Empress stood up and said, "Lin Xuan, your conditions are very important. I can't make the decision. I need to gather the High Priestess and the Elders to discuss this. Please allow me to give you an answer later."
"Alright, I can wait."
Lin Xuan smiled and stood up.
The Ice Demon Empress then turned to Li Ya Guan and said, "Li Ya Guan, Lin Xuan is our Ice Demon Race's most distinguished guest. You will be responsible for taking care of Lin Xuan."
"Understood, Your Majesty," Li Ya Guan replied obediently.
The Ice Demon Empress left, leaving Lin Xuan and Li Ya Guan behind.
Li Ya Guan became a lot more casual after her mother left. She looked at Lin Xuan angrily and said, "Lin Xuan, are you deliberately making things difficult for us? Aren't your conditions a bit too harsh? "
Lin Xuan smiled faintly and said, "It's a trade. Naturally, both sides have to be satisfied. If you think my conditions are too harsh, why don't you just refuse?"
"You!"
Li Ya and Gu An were stunned speechless.
Lin Xuan's eyes sparkled as he looked at the beautiful Yao Princess. He smiled and said, "Alright, whether it is harsh or not is not something you should consider. Leave these important matters to your Mother Empress and the elders to discuss. Don't forget your mission, which is to treat me well."
"Oh, okay."
Lia nodded. She frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes lit up as she suggested, "Lin Xuan, I don't think the Mother Empress will be able to come to a decision in a short time. Why don't I take you to a fun place? I'm sure you'll like it."
"Oh? What's the fun place? "Lin Xuan asked.
"Follow me. You'll know when we get there."
Li Ya Guan smiled mysteriously. She then grabbed Lin Xuan's sleeve and dragged him out of the garden. They then flew out of the palace.
In the palace beyond the sky, the Black Emperor had already left. The White Emperor and the Purple Emperor had watched the entire conversation between Lin Xuan and the Empress.
When they heard Lin Xuan's conditions, the disappointment on the two Emperor-level powerhouses' faces faded a lot. Instead, there was a strange look on their faces.
"Haha, Lin Xuan this brat's ambition isn't small!"
"No matter what, the result of his handling is barely acceptable. If he can completely subdue the Ice Demon Clan, it will be a great help to the human race. However, I'm a little doubtful if Lin Xuan has the ability to do so. "
"Yes, even if the Ice Demon Clan agrees to Lin Xuan's conditions, I'm afraid it will be a disaster for them.
After all, even the Human Emperor at his peak was very wary of the Ice Demon Clan. He had no choice but to severely restrict their development, but he couldn't completely eliminate them. "
…
In the Ice Demon Clan's meeting hall, a group of high-ranking officials had gathered and were fiercely debating Lin Xuan's conditions.
"Your Majesty, High Priestess, I don't think we can agree to Lin Xuan's request. We of the Sacred Clan are the descendants of the gods. Even the powerful Human Emperor of the past was unable to make us submit, so how can we submit to a junior of the human race and serve him!?"
"That's right! We can't agree to him! Moreover, I still believe that it's impossible for someone not surnamed Ji to become the Human Emperor's Sword Master, let alone become the Human Emperor. Lin Xuan isn't worth our effort.
We should contact Ji Lian Xing of the Ji Clan, as well as Nie Pianer. That girl is also very likely to be the final winner. "
"Let's not talk about whether our Ice Demon Clan will submit to Lin Xuan. I'm afraid we won't be able to satisfy his demand for the Rat Emperor's Demon Core!
After the Rat Emperor was injured by Her Majesty, it fell into the ice river and was swallowed by the dark monster at the bottom of the river. How can we steal the Rat Emperor's Demon Core from that monster's stomach? "
Unexpectedly, none of the Ice Demon Clan elders agreed to Lin Xuan's conditions. In fact, they didn't even want to agree to the other two conditions except for the Calamity Transformation Stone.
The Ice Demon Empress was expressionless, but she was also hesitating in her heart.
In the end, she looked at the High Priestess.
The High Priestess was the Ice Demon Clan's most intelligent and farsighted elder, as well as the person with the highest status in the Ice Demon Clan. Only the High Priestess of each generation could point out the correct path for the Ice Demon Clan.
Gradually, the elders also closed their mouths and looked at the High Priestess.
The High Priestess was already very old. Her eyes were closed as she listened to the debate around her. If one didn't look carefully, they would think that she had fallen asleep in her seat.
Under everyone's gazes, the High Priestess slowly opened her eyes. Her cloudy gaze gradually became clear, intelligent, and profound.
She sighed and said resolutely, "Agree to him. Agree to everything.
A Sacred Clan that is about to be exterminated doesn't have the qualifications to uphold the pride in our hearts, and we can't fulfill our mission and responsibilities.
As for the Rat Emperor's demon core, I will personally go and take it! We must carry out Lin Xuan's conditions meticulously. We must do whatever it takes to obtain Lin Xuan's promise and friendship. "
"High Priestess! Are you going to personally fight that monster? That's too dangerous! "the Ice Demon Empress cried out in alarm.
The High Priestess said in an unquestionable tone, "I've said it before. We must do whatever it takes to obtain Lin Xuan's promise and friendship. Even if it costs my life, I won't hesitate.
If he wants our Ice Demon Clan to pledge our loyalty to him, we can satisfy him. After all, our Ice Demon Clan does indeed need the protection of a powerhouse in the future. Of course, this is on the premise that he is strong enough in the future.
If he needs the Rat Emperor's demon core, we must also satisfy him!
We must firmly believe that every effort we make today will be repaid in the future. "
The High Priestess's voice was filled with determination. It was also filled with the solemnity of facing death.
This was because she knew that this might be the last time she would participate in this meeting. The monster that had devoured the Rat Emperor was not any weaker than her. The best outcome would be to perish together with her …
…
Li Ya Gu An brought Lin Xuan out of the Ice Demon Secret Realm. However, they did not leave the ice river. Instead, they went deeper into the ice river until they reached the bottom of the ice river, where there was a huge bubble.
When they reached the end of the bubble, Li Ya Gu An finally stopped. Her face was filled with excitement as she pointed at the rainbow river in front of them and said, "Lin Xuan, look!"
"Hmm? What's that? "Lin Xuan asked curiously.
"That's a branch of the River of Time. From there, you can see things that happened in the past. It's said that as long as your eyesight is strong enough, you can even see things that happened in the Ancient Era, the Middle Era, and even the Ancient Era. When I'm bored, I would come here to pass time. It's very fun," Li Ya Gu An said happily.
"A branch of the River of Time?"
