Hero Chen

[At this moment, the atmosphere between the human and demon high-ups eased up.]

[However, the Azure Dragon still acted tough for a bit.]

["Let this battle end here! But it's absolutely not because our demon race is no match for your mere Five Regions! If it weren't for the dragon and phoenix corpses keeping an eye on the Shen family and the Holy Land, your entire army would have been wiped out in this battle!"]

[The Sword Master also gave the demon race enough face, giving them a way out.]

["Naturally, the Five Regions are but a part of the human race. If the Five Regions, the Holy Land, and the Shen family joined forces, perhaps they could fight the demon race.

To defend against hidden enemies, we must not fight each other.

The Human Realm is our only home, and we must never let the Dragon-men destroy it!"]

[Speaking of the Dragon-men, both sides shared their intelligence.]

[The great war between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm thirty thousand years ago, the destruction of the demon race by the Dragon-men after they retreated to the Demon Realm, and the recent traces of Dragon-men activity in the Human Realm, etc.]

[Hearing the Azure Dragon mention that decades ago he discovered a sect called the Scarlet Heart Sect providing a stronghold for Dragon-men activities, and decisively took action to wipe out the entire sect.]

[Li Liushui finally realized.]

["So that's what you meant back then! Brother Dragon, you should have made it clear!"]

[The Azure Dragon snorted coldly.]

["I wished you would bring destruction upon yourselves! Why should I explain it clearly to you! If it weren't for the fact that we can't leave the Human Realm now, I wouldn't care if you lived or died!"]

[Li Liushui coughed a few times to cover his embarrassment.]

[The Azure Dragon also mentioned that over the years, they had successively discovered some Dragon-men strongholds in the Five Regions, all of which were covered up by humans.]

[Hearing this, the Empress, the Sword Master, and other top figures were full of question marks.]

["Are the Dragon-men that powerful? They bought off so many people right under our noses and operated for decades without us noticing at all?"]

[The Azure Dragon snorted.]

["Who knows what you're busy with all day, you don't even know when a thief enters your house!"]

[You pondered for a moment and thought of something.]

["Perhaps the traces of Dragon-men activity discovered by the demon race were deliberately revealed to you by the Dragon-men."]

[The Sword Master understood.]

["They hoped we would go to war and consume each other, so they exposed some useless strongholds to you, triggering your suspicion and anger towards the Five Regions."]

[The thought process of the demon race obviously couldn't turn so many corners. The Dragon-men used their hatred for their own race and transferred it to their resentment towards the human race.]

["Before figuring out the movements of the Dragon-men, I hope you can manage your own people well and stop causing trouble in the Great Wilderness! Otherwise, even if the Human Realm is destroyed, the demon race will not spare the Five Regions!"]

[The big shots nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would definitely mind their own business in the future and protect the Human Realm together.]

[You also asked some questions about the Dragon-men.]

["The Dragon-men appeared in the Human Realm decades ago. If the Human Realm is their next target, why haven't they acted yet?"]

[The Azure Dragon said.]

["The realm wars initiated by the Dragon-men have never been defeated because they are cautious and careful enough.

They will not act until they have completely figured out the foundation of a world.

The higher the realm, the harder it is to cross world barriers.

They need to open a large enough gap, which requires a lot of preparation on both sides, and cannot be accomplished overnight."]

["Brother Azure Dragon, how do you know they have never been defeated? You seem to have memories that don't belong to you?"]

["Those with high purity of demon bloodlines will inherit part of their bloodline memories. In other words, I have part of the memories of the previous generations of Azure Dragons."]

["I see."]

[Look, you're already calling the Azure Dragon 'brother'.]

[The experts of the Five Regions are already rubbing their hands together. Once this matter is over, they must build a relationship with you!]

[After some friendly negotiations between the high-ups of both sides, the Five Regions and the Great Wilderness demon race finally reached a truce.]

[The Azure Dragon picked up the bottle of pills you placed on the ground.]

[Then, with a dragon's roar, he transformed into a thousand-meter dragon body and rushed into the clouds.]

["Demon descendants! Return to the Great Wilderness!"]

[The demon race absolutely obeyed the orders of the Demon Ancestor, retreating from the Azure Ridge like a tide.]

[And on the human side, there were earth-shattering cheers.]

["No more war!!"]

["Hahaha! I can go home and see my wife!!"]

["Truce! Truce! We survived, that's great!"]

[In the commander's tent of the Five Regions Allied Forces.]

[The pavilion master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Zhuge Zhujin, and his beloved disciple, the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey, were also here.]

[The two of them looked at the Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey, who was tied up by the Immortal Binding Rope and unable to use his cultivation, with complex expressions.]

["Let me go! Let me go! I'm telling you, the Demon Ancestor will come to save me. The dragon and phoenix corpses are definitely not something the Five Regions can stop. You're all dead!"]

[You gave this guy a kick, sending him rolling around like a ball.]

["Still acting tough with me! Pavilion Master Zhuge, this is your disciple after all. Tell me, how should we deal with him?"]

[Zhuge Zhujin sighed.]

["Like the Fire Monkey, he was born from heaven and earth, immortal and indestructible. Now that he has entered the demonic path, the only way is to suppress him."]

[You walked around these two monkeys and looked at them.]

["Born from heaven and earth? Immortal and indestructible? How can there be such overpowered existences in the Human Realm?"]

[Zhuge Zhujin said.]

["I'm not sure either. About a hundred years ago, two meteorites fell in the Divine Weapon Commandery.

Our Divine Weapon Pavilion loves collecting strange stones and metals to try new artifact forging methods, so we picked up these two stones.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the two stones cracked open from the inside, giving birth to these two monkeys."]

["Extraterrestrial objects?"]

[Fell from the star domain?]

[No.]

[You feel that these two spirit monkeys don't look like creatures of the Human Realm.]

[It's more likely that they fell to the Human Realm from other worlds for some unknown reason.]

[The Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey was continued to be suppressed under the blood sea of the Demon Refining Pot.]

[Inside the tent, there was another old friend.]

["Immortal Binding Rope, come home with me. Everyone in the Ten Thousand Laws Sect misses you very much."]

[The one speaking was the chubby sect master of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, Wan Sanqian.]

[As a Martial Saint expert, his attitude was very humble at the moment. He clasped his hands together and pleaded with the Immortal Binding Rope hanging on your body.]

[The Immortal Binding Rope spoke with an old-fashioned tone.]

["I am the prime minister of the Spirit Artifact Kingdom. The three regions and twelve states of Xiliang are all resting on my shoulders! Sect Master Wan, please do not disregard the common people of a region for personal interests!"]

[This big hat he put on deeply inherited the true transmission of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.]

[Wan Sanqian sighed helplessly.]

["Sect Master Wan, the great rebellion of spirit artifacts has passed for so many years. If these spirit artifacts were willing to return, they would have returned long ago. The Ten Thousand Laws Sect should just forge new spirit artifacts."]

[Wan Sanqian smiled bitterly.]

["If immortal artifacts were so easy to forge, I wouldn't have to lower my face and beg him in front of so many brothers."]

[The group of Martial Saints and Martial Kings inside the tent erupted into roaring laughter.]

[At this point, you turned to Wan Sanqian and solemnly cupped your fists.]

["The war was too tense before. Though we crossed paths, Sect Master Wan, I never had the chance to apologize for what happened back then. Please, accept my bow!"]
