Chapter 140 Immortal-Demon Battlefield
Guixu Continent.
The battlefield between immortals and demons divides the entire continent into two worlds.
A Great Wall stretches across the sky, vast and boundless, majestic and imposing, as if reaching into the heavens. Even the blue planet of the Blue Star world seems as insignificant as a speck of dust compared to this city.
In the air, a terrifying golden decree covered the sky, with various runes burning and blooming, creating an extremely horrifying scene.
The demon army is negotiating with the Chinese immortals.
The blue-faced, red-haired demon was a nine-eyed demon bull, a powerful immortal being who had cultivated for at least hundreds of thousands of years and truly entered the realm of immortals, possessing immense power.
He looked at the powerful figures on the Great Wall and roared, "Hand over those two people from the prophecy, or I will raze your Huaxia Immortal Clan to the ground today!!"
This time, the West was clearly well-prepared.
They are determined to annihilate the entire Chinese Immortal Clan in one fell swoop.
At the very top of the Great Wall, a group of experts from the Huaxia Immortal Clan stood side by side, representing various different lineages. In addition to cultivators from all walks of life among the human race, there were also a large number of giant beasts from the Spirit Clan, as well as a true dragon with a body that shone with golden light and a huge body, a Qilin with a body that was pure white and emitted spiritual light, and a phoenix with a body that swayed with flames and was extremely hot. All of them were the most glorious races.
Among them are a large number of Mahayana-stage masters.
There are countless cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage!
Leading the group was an old woman dressed in a white Taoist robe, with long, white hair, and leaning on a wooden cane.
She is the helmsman of the Great Wall, known as the Golden Spring Immortal Lord, from the Kunlun Dao lineage, leading all the Huaxia Immortal Clan in their fight against the alien races.
This time, however, she had to think carefully.
The Huaxia Immortal Clan has only been at peace for tens of thousands of years since the last devastating war. If they were to fight again now, they could not withstand such turmoil. If the alien army were to launch a full-scale attack at this moment, the Huaxia Immortal Clan would suffer enormous losses.
After the Nine-Eyed Demon Bull uttered those words, her eyes darkened.
Seeing this, a powerful immortal immediately said, "Immortal Lord Jinquan, this is not a good idea! We absolutely cannot compromise! What if they go back on their word if we hand them over?"
"That's right, Immortal Lord Jinquan, think it over!"
"These alien demons are cunning and treacherous, and have no credibility whatsoever. Don't believe a word they say!"
"Immortal Lord, please don't make the wrong choice!"
Someone scoffed, saying with dissatisfaction, "Today we can sacrifice two people for temporary peace, but what if tomorrow, when the alien army is pressing in, we have to sacrifice even more people to buy peace? We must never compromise with these alien demons, we must never back down an inch!"
"Immortal Lord Jinquan, don't you understand the principle of ceding five cities today and ten tomorrow?"
Many experts around him tried to dissuade him.
Upon hearing these words, Jin Quan Immortal Lord's face immediately darkened. He roared, "Shut up, all of you! Our Huaxia Immortal Clan can no longer afford to prolong this situation. These alien demons are coming on strong and unstoppable. The Western Buddha Immortal King has already issued a decree: as long as the two prophesied figures are handed over, peace between the two worlds can be guaranteed for ten thousand years!"
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
The Nine-Eyed Demon Bull brought a decree, sworn by a powerful immortal king from the Western alien race with his own blood. It promised that if the Chinese immortal race handed over the two people they wanted, they would guarantee that they would not launch a single attack on the Eastern world for 100,000 years.
Many people advised against it: "Immortal Lord Jinquan, please think twice."
Jin Quan Xianjun's face was grim, filled with conflict.
Those two people had already been brought from the ancestral land of Blue Star by her avatar, and had been here for more than two years.
If it weren't for the other immortal masters at the Great Wall constantly interfering, she would have already handed the person over in exchange for peace.
After all, they are just two mortals. As long as the overall situation can be taken into account, peace can be achieved, and time can be bought for the resurgence of the Chinese Immortal Clan, sacrificing two mortals from their ancestral lands is entirely worthwhile!
Moo!
Rumble!
On the boundless battlefield below the city walls, the demon army surged with overwhelming force. The Nine-Eyed Demon Bull roared, its voice shaking the heavens and earth, as if it would shake down countless stars: "Old Lady Jin, have you thought this through? Don't make a mistake, hand over the person immediately!"
"Otherwise, we'll attack the city right now!"
He urged, already impatient, wielding the halberd in his hand with a frighteningly violent aura. The halberd's tip lightly sliced through the void, instantly revealing countless large, dark cracks!
On the city wall, many Chinese masters shouted.
"Immortal Lord Jinquan, you mustn't!"
Jin Quan Immortal Lord roared, "Shut up!"
A terrifying pressure from the immortals swept across, causing everyone to tremble. After all, she was an immortal being; who would dare to defy such a will!
For a moment, the entire city wall fell into a deathly silence.
Jin Quan Immortal Lord, with a hunched back, a head of white hair, and a face full of wrinkles, possessed sharp, authoritative eyes that swept over everyone like two bolts of cold lightning. He said sternly, "Whatever happens, I will take responsibility!"
"Now, our Huaxia Immortal Clan needs time to revive. As long as we get through this period, a large number of powerful figures will emerge from the Blue Star ancestral land. At that time, we will be fearless, and the order of the entire Guixu World will be rewritten. We will surely achieve the final victory!" Jinquan Immortal Lord said in a deep voice.
Some still objected: "However, we cannot accept handing over our people in exchange for peace. What's the difference between that and ceding territory and paying reparations? It's a huge disgrace. When did our Huaxia Immortal Clan become so weak?"
A Mahayana stage expert clad in golden armor, his voice filled with anger, rode atop a dazzling golden lion, suspended in mid-air. He wasn't standing on the city wall; the golden lion mount alone possessed the Tribulation Transcending stage realm.
"We agree, we completely disagree!" Some Chinese cultivators who had experienced the baptism of blood and war, even though Jin Quan Xianjun was a master of the Immortal Path, were completely fearless and expressed their opinions very frankly and unwillingly.
"What do you know? A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Everything I'm doing now is for the future of the Eastern world. I don't want to sacrifice our people for peace, but right now, I have no choice. Do you think I want to do this? If I don't, that Buddha Immortal King from the West will personally come down and sweep across the entire Great Wall. At that time, the losses of the Chinese Immortal Clan will only be more severe. This is just a small sacrifice, which cannot be avoided."
"The principle of 'never abandoning' is useless at this critical moment. Do you understand?"
"Immortal Lord Jinquan said indifferently."
She explained to the many experts that the Huaxia Immortal Clan was now weak, and the Immortal Kings had all gone to the Upper Immortal Realm. Currently, there were no Immortal Kings in the Eastern World to counterbalance the Immortal Kings in the West.
A powerful immortal, puzzled, secretly transmitted his voice: "Immortal Lord Jinquan, what exactly did the Western Immortal King deduce? Why would two mortals warrant such a massive attack from them?"
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed deep in Jinquan Immortal Lord's eyes. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The situation is urgent. Two mortals can be exchanged for 100,000 years of peace for our Chinese civilization. There is no better choice than this. Don't stop me. There is no better choice than this."
She looked at all the masters on the Great Wall.
"Alright, that's decided!"
"The Buddha and the Celestial King of the West have already inscribed this decree with their own blood. To renege at the last minute will come at a heavy price!"
"Everyone can rest assured about this."
"If we hand over the people to them, they will surely retreat!"
Upon hearing this, many powerful cultivators at the Mahayana and Tribulation stages clenched their fists, feeling immense shame!
The Chinese immortal race has been revived for a long time, but even today, it is still unable to defeat these alien demons and has actually fallen to a point where it is similar to ceding territory and paying reparations.
Then, Immortal Lord Jinquan used his immortal magic to send a beam of light through the void, carrying two ordinary figures.
