Chapter 235 - 235 Can the Peace Negotiations Succeed

235 Can the Peace Negotiations Succeed

The moment Ye Xuan finished speaking, the originally lively atmosphere instantly became quiet.

A few great demons looked at each other and subconsciously looked at Qian Yuan, who was sitting on the main seat.

Although these beasts had acknowledged Ye Xuan and Shen Changling because of Qian Yuan and they had shown them kindness, this did not mean that their grievances with Changping could be written off.

After all, because the people in Changping continued to mine the spirit mines for so many years, not only did the living environment become worse, but it also shrank a lot. The conflict between humans and these demonic beasts continued to expand, to the point where it was irreconcilable.

Without waiting for Qian Yuan to speak, a big demon could no longer sit still. It said with a cold face, “I’m only treating you with respect because you’ve done Lord Flood Dragon a favor. However, we won’t let go of Changping. That’s a different matter. Please don’t say such things again.”

Many demonic beasts nodded in agreement. After all, their deep hatred for humans wasn’t something that happened in just two or three days. It had accumulated over the years.

Some of the demonic beasts’ expressions had already changed. They looked at Ye Xuan and Shen Changling with vigilance, afraid that the two of them were spies.

“I was just saying how could the demonic beasts be friends with humans? So what even if they have done a favor for the lord? The human race is so cunning. Who knows if there is any conspiracy in this? Perhaps they are working together from the inside and out to capture us all in one fell swoop.”

“That makes sense. Lord Flood Dragon, you should be more careful to avoid being tricked by these humans.”

Many demonic beasts were whispering to each other. The friendly atmosphere just now had been broken. All kinds of suspicious and vigilant eyes fell on them.

Even Shen Changling felt a chill run down his spine. He looked around at the eyes of the people around him and instantly sobered up. He hiccuped and said, “What’s going on?”

The other demonic beasts were more rational and didn’t say anything. They just looked at Qian Yuan silently. After all, it still needed to make the decision.

“Lord, you know about the grudges between us and Changping. The human race has always been greedy, and they’re getting more and more excessive. The desires and greed of humans can never be satisfied, and they’ll only threaten our survival. In the end, they’ll drive us demonic beasts to a dead end.”

“That’s right, lord. We can’t let these two humans’ sweet words fool you.”

“We demonic beasts have already tolerated and retreated. If we continue to retreat, will there still be a future for our race?”

Shen Changling rolled his eyes when he heard these words. It seemed that these demonic beasts were saying that humans were the evilest and should go to the eighteenth level of hell.

However, there was nothing wrong with what they said because most of it was the truth, but there were some subjective grievances in it.

“You don’t have to do this. Although the human race has done something wrong, you demonic beasts have also taken revenge after the incident. At this time, how many humans have died at the hands of demonic beasts?”

If it wasn’t for Ye Xuan, it would have been difficult for anyone to escape the attack earlier, including the beast tide after that.

Although it was the humans’ fault and they owed the demonic beasts, they had taken it back.

“The demonic beasts are innocent, and so are some humans. All the humans in the mine have lost their lives. Do you want all the humans to die with you?”

Ye Xuan’s voice was powerful and resonating. He didn’t argue with these demonic beasts earlier because humans were indeed in the wrong at first. But at the same time, they also paid a painful price.

Changping was almost destroyed, and that was the best example.

Some of the more radical demonic beasts immediately stood up. “Why not? So many demonic beasts have died at the hands of the human race. Not even a complete corpse was left behind. Those humans who lost their lives deserved it. It’s not enough to pay for the monstrous sins they have committed.”

The one who said this was a bear-type demonic beast. More than half of its race had died at the hands of the human race. No wonder it had such hatred towards humans.

“Then what do you want?”

Ye Xuan stared at the demonic beast and said word by word, “Make all the humans pay with their lives?”

In the eyes of these powerful demonic beasts, Ye Xuan was just a weak human. However, he had mysterious power. Looking at his dark eyes, it was as if they had fallen into an abyss. Some demonic beasts couldn’t help but look away, not daring to look at him.

“We’ll lose 800 of us to kill 1000 of the enemy. Have you ever thought so what if we kill everyone in Changping? There will be more humans coming to seek revenge.”

“If they want to take revenge, then so be it. Do we have to be afraid of them?”

Some demonic beasts were still reluctant to admit their mistakes.

Ye Xuan revealed a mocking smile. “Well said. Then what about the innocent demon beasts that died in the fight? You keep saying that you’re taking revenge for your kind, but do the demonic beasts that lost their lives in battle deserve to die?”

His question rendered the other demonic beasts speechless. It seemed to make sense.

Looking at Ye Xuan’s self-righteous appearance, those who didn’t know better would think that he was on the demon beast’s side.

“Could it be that you want to drag all the demonic beasts into this for your selfish desires?”

The bear-type demonic beast’s face turned red. “Don’t talk nonsense here. You’re trying to sow discord.”

Even if they were large in number, it was inevitable that there would be casualties. Previously, some humans had seen that there was no hope of escape, so they had risked the danger of self-destruction to drag the same kind to hell.

Besides, what Ye Xuan said made sense. If they destroyed Changping, the other humans would not let them off. When that time came, they would come looking for them again, and it would be another fierce battle.
