Chapter 1290: Mutual Benefit

signed a contract, your safety is the priority. What if I leave and you get attackedSo you want me to chase after themRipple asked back."Of course not, I was just curious and asked out of the blue."W..."What's the rush Right now, we shouldn't be worried. Don't forget who's on their own turf here. Will you just let others run amok in your den"

Ripple waved her hand, restoring the chess piece to its original state. She glared at Xiong Kun and said, "Just because you're a senior elder doesn't mean you can always resort to violence."

"Hehehe, I'm getting excited. What will Elder Bai do"

Xiong Kun smiled and casually placed a piece on the chessboard. Then, he started smiling foolishly and asked, "That speed of changing faces is incredible!"

"First, courtesy, then war. Let's see what the human race has to say. Anyway, we have both eyewitness and physical evidence now. We even have disciples from all sects in the secret realm as hostages. Just wait, there’s no need to rush."

Seeing where Xiong Kun had placed his pieces, Lian Yi immediately knew this fellow was playing randomly. She simply waved her sleeve and put away the chessboard, then placed a honey iced drink in its place. To her surprise, Xiong Kun accepted it well.

"Elder Bai makes sense, but this time we must tear a piece of flesh from the human cultivator."

Xiong Kun took a satisfying sip of her honey iced drink and then began to issue threats.

The ripples beckoned with a wave of their hand:

"Don't worry, they definitely won't get away with cheap repairs. You'll have your chance to flex your muscles then."

The ripples sent Xiongkun away, so she went to see the Gui Di Demon King.

"My Lord Demon King, this time is a coincidence, but it also caught the cultivators off guard. I want to use this opportunity to negotiate with them, and strive for some time for the development and growth of our demon race."

The ripple respectfully said.

Gui Di transformed back into his true form at this time, floating on the water like a mountain. He listened to Lian Yi's words, merely flicking his eyelids before saying:

You want to promote that set of cultivation techniques developed for humans among the demon clan, and then strive to increase the overall strength of the demon clan within a certain timeframe.

Yes, Your Majesty the Demon King is wise.

"Alright, since you're in charge of the secret realm matter, see it through to the end. If anything happens, this king will take care of it."

The Demon King said languidly.

"Yes, thank you for the Demon King's trust."

Ripple makes things clear, then it becomes much easier to operate.

On the other side, Yun Wu also had a headache. The Cloud Heaven Sect did send a message back, admitting that Lian Xiye was indeed working for the sect, but this matter was conducted in secret. Besides the high-ranking officials of the Law Enforcement Hall and the headmaster, only a few elders knew about it.

And the sect's reply, made Yun Wu say to abandon even the night, treating this matter as his personal behavior and not involving the sect. He was afraid that the demon clan would use this as an excuse to provoke trouble. The disciples of Yun Tianzong who went to the secret realm this time would definitely be the first to suffer, and it might even affect other sects. In this way, Yun Tianzong would be too passive.

Meanwhile, the leaders of the other three allied factions also visited Yun Wuyan one after another, inquiring about his specific situation. Their words, both spoken and unspoken, clearly conveyed their meaning: don't implicate us; at least wait until they safely escort their disciples back to the human territory before Yuntian Sect engages in a conflict with the demon clan.

Yun Wu had to take the initiative to visit Lian Yi, hoping to resolve this matter before the secret realm closed.

"Elder Bai, I apologize for the disturbance."

"The guide is being polite, but have you checked carefully"

Ripple smiled and gestured for Yunwu to take a seat. She also mimicked his style of doing things, getting straight to the point.

"I've checked, but there seems to be a misunderstanding here."

Yún Wǔyán immediately said.

"Oh A misunderstanding Bai is eager to hear more."

Then Ripples took a sip of tea calmly.

" Lian Xi Ye did indeed once be a disciple of Yun Tian Zong. I've said this before, he was expelled because his character was flawed and he falsely accused the elders of the sect. This resulted in him having his cultivation revoked."

As for what he did after leaving the sect, it has nothing to do with my Yun Tian Sect. Elder Bai said that he collected important information from the demon race and then sought opportunities to pass it on to Yun Tian Sect disciples. I think this should be his personal act.

The purpose was also to retaliate against his sect's harsh punishment, especially at this sensitive time and place. If he wanted to send a message, why not do it earlier Why wait until two hundred years after being expelled from the sect

And why would he choose to open it at the very moment of the secret realm's awakening If he were truly a person sent by my Yuntian Sect, he would definitely have used a more discreet way to convey the message. Why would he be so easily exposed It's clear that this is his personal doing, just to stir up trouble."

Yúnwǔyán, who had thought out his words beforehand, managed to speak them convincingly.

"Master, Dododo thought what he said made a lot of sense!"

Duo Duo Chuan Yin Dao.

Of course, otherwise people wouldn't become team leaders. This is washing their hands of the responsibility of Yuntai Sect and pushing all the blame onto Lian Xiye.

However, what they said isn't entirely wrong. After all, on the surface, Xi Ye did have his cultivation revoked and was expelled from the sect. Leaving the sect meant he was no longer a disciple of Yun Tian Zong, so naturally, the sect wouldn't be responsible for his actions.

"Then there's nothing to talk about"

Dodo asked hesitantly.

"Anything can be discussed, it's all about how you discuss it."

The ripples replied calmly.

Then she put down the teacup in her hand and said to Yun Wu,

"Cloud Leader, I can accept your words, but the demon race may not. The truth of the matter, you and I both know it well."

Since they have all cultivated to this realm, they have all felt the pull of Heaven's Will. They understand that nothing happens by chance; every event, though seemingly random, is a result of countless seemingly insignificant occurrences accumulating over time.

Yun Wuyan fell silent. He knew this was just a way to fool others, wanting to deceive a great demon like Bai Lianyi was simply a pipe dream. She opened her mouth and ripped away that veil of pretense.

What does Elder Bai intend to do

"It's simple, since you humans remember the good things from our demon race, then show your sincerity and exchange them for what we need."

The ripples gave the answer directly.

How do I change it

Build a town at the junction of the human and demon realms, with humans and demons each comprising half the population. Each side can send a high-ranking demon and a human cultivator to oversee the town and ensure its stability.

Towns can establish shops to exchange resources. A large auction is held once every five years to exchange high-level resources. Other small trades and auctions can be opened as needed.

This is a preliminary setting. When it comes to the actual implementation, some details need to be added or removed. These can be discussed gradually, and this will benefit both humans and the trans community.

Before the secret realm closes, we should be able to accomplish this. Once a treaty is drafted, it should be signed by powerful figures from both clans to ensure that this beneficial arrangement continues for a long time.

You humans don't need to send any more spies into the demon clan. After all, some high-level resources are controlled by powerful demons. Even if you know their exact location, can you guarantee you'll be able to get them

"Instead of risking a journey into the demon clan's territory, it would be better to exchange spirit stones and items. That way, everyone saves trouble."

Yun Wu Yan, upon hearing Lian Yi's words, had to admit he wasn't surprised. However, after some thought, he realized the plan was indeed feasible. The problem was, this wasn't a decision he could make alone. He rose and said:

"Elder Bai's words, I understand. I will pass the message back to my sect and also notify other sects and prominent families. They will respond as quickly as possible."orse neighed and shot forward, its target the castle gate."Miss"A male servant's shout came from behind her, but Ripples didn't even turn back. She dashed out of the castle gates and the scene before...
