Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1102: Chapter 1103: Master’s Crisis! (Three Updates)

Early the next morning, the Demon Clan alliance on the Black Water Plain indeed began their full retreat.

The Green Bull Demon Emperor caught wind of it, and with the death of Silver Wolf Demon Emperor confirmed, he couldn’t sit still and hastily withdrew his forces.

If they were late in returning, even the yellow croaker would have gone cold.

After all, Silver Wolf Demon Emperor’s subordinates still had six or seven formidable Demon Emperors, each almost as strong as him, so he had to plan ahead.

Once the Green Bull Demon Emperor retreated, the rest of the Demon Clan alliance naturally collapsed and dispersed.

After fighting for so long, it wasn’t just the Human Clan who suffered heavy losses; the Demon Clan was also physically and mentally exhausted.

As a result, by the early hours of the next day, the Demon Clan alliance on the Black Water Plain retreated, leaving only the Scaled Demon Clan and the Black Flood Dragon Clan living near the Black Water Plain.

As Hai Lingxiang had always avoided a direct confrontation between the Scaled Demon Clan and the soldiers of the Sky Peak Camp, the losses of the Scaled Demon Clan in the Demon Clan alliance were virtually negligible.

This outcome was undoubtedly what Hai Lingxiang was happy to see.

Human Clan camp.

”Report! The Demon Clan has sent an envoy from the Scaled Demon Clan to discuss peace talks.”

The messenger rushed in to deliver the urgent report.

”Scaled Demon Clan?”

Ling Feng touched his nose, realizing it must be that female demon Hai Lingxiang coming to thank him.

Originally, according to his plan, both sides could cease fire for a whole month, but despite some unexpected events, the final outcome was not too bad.

Moreover, Hai Lingxiang had indeed done her best.

”Alright, everyone is tired and worn out from fighting, so it’s time to negotiate peace.”

Ling Feng nodded and said indifferently, ”Let the Demon Clan envoy in.”

”Yes!”

In no time, a delicate-looking Scaled Demon Clan maiden entered the tent. Ling Feng vaguely recognized this Scaled Demon maiden; she seemed to be a maidservant by Hai Lingxiang’s side.

”Servant Yun Shu, greets Prince Long Fei!”

The Scaled Demon maid approached Ling Feng to perform a greeting ceremony.

”Presumptuous, open your eyes and see clearly, there is no Prince Long Fei here, only Prince Jing and General Wei Yuan!”

Xu Zhongda snorted coldly, stepping forward to reprimand her.

This guy had his arm severed by the Demon Clan, so naturally, he harbored resentment.

”It’s alright, she was calling for me. Yun Shu, is it? Your princess... oh no, now should be the Clan Leader, right?”

Ling Feng raised his hand, signaling Yun Shu to speak.

”Hehe, Prince Long Fei still remembers this servant.” Yun Shu squinted her eyes with a smile, ”The Clan Leaders intend to hold the peace talks at noon, by the Black Water River, between the commanders of both armies.”

”By the Black Water River, huh.”

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. The Black Water River was the boundary between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan. By choosing the negotiation site here, Hai Lingxiang likely aimed to redefine mutual non-aggression at this boundary.

After all, many demons lived along the Black Water River. If the Human army took over the entire Black Water Plain, it would lead to irreconcilable conflict.

Ling Feng had no interest in invading others’ lands. Having the Black Water River as the boundary, and both sides ceasing hostilities, was undoubtedly the best option.

”Fine, go back and tell your Clan Leader, I’ll certainly be there personally at noon!”

”Okay, hehe...”

Yun Shu then bid farewell and left.

After she departed, Xu Zhongda frowned and asked, ”General Ling, could this be a trap?”

”Commander Xu, your prejudice against the Demon Clan is too deep. Not all in the Demon Clan are warlike. Having gained wisdom, and freed themselves from the nature of beasts, they are no longer animals but intelligent beings like us. Viewing them as mere beasts entrenches prejudice, which benefits neither side.”

Ling Feng chuckled slightly, ”Why not try being friends with them!”

Like the Qiongqi Demon Emperor, like Hai Lingxiang, and also like the Purple Dragon Envoy...

Ling Feng had seen both malevolent demons and many kind ones. There’s no real need for mutual enmity between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan.

”Friends?”

Many commanders in the tent frowned, clearly unable to comprehend Ling Feng’s words.

After years of stationing at Tianmang Fortress, they had long considered the Demon Clan as mortal enemies. Changing this mindset in a short time seemed difficult.

Ling Feng didn’t bother to explain further. After all, both sides had been severely weakened. For the next decade, no major war was likely to occur.

...

Noontime.

Ling Feng arrived as agreed, while the Clan Leader of the Scaled Demon Clan, Hai Lingxiang, had been waiting at the Black Water River for some time.

In addition to her, her mother and several elders from the Black Flood Dragon Clan were present.

”Long Fei!”

Upon seeing Ling Feng, Hai Lingxiang impulsively wanted to rush forward but soon remembered her current status, biting her silver teeth, she stood firmly and said, ”General Ling, you’re punctual!”

”When meeting an old acquaintance, naturally, one must be on time.”

Ling Feng smiled faintly, taking out a jar of wine.

”With the Black Water River as the boundary, both sides cease hostilities. Our side accepts this condition without objection.”

Ling Feng uncorked the wine jar and smiled faintly, ”If there’s sincerity, drink up this jar of peace negotiation wine!”

The elders of the Black Flood Dragon Clan were surprised to see Ling Feng agree readily without haggling, as if a victorious side should not be demanding any territory concessions.

In fact, they prepared a map to argue over this point but found that Ling Feng demanded no land at all!

Where would one find such a generous deal?

Seeing this, the Black Flood Dragon Clan elders readily agreed.

As for the Scaled Demon Clan, they agreed to strengthen the presence for the Black Flood Dragon Clan. They had no interest in the Black Water River territory.

Of course, Hai Lingxiang had her personal reasons; without this negotiation, how could she meet Ling Feng again?

”Good, General Ling is indeed benevolent!”

One elder of the Black Flood Dragon Clan nodded, ”I thank General Ling on behalf of the Black Flood Dragon Clan’s people!”

Ling Feng rubbed his nose, acknowledging that indirectly, the Black Flood Dragon Clan’s leader died at his hands. Nonetheless, both sides had shed each other’s blood; bringing it up held no significance now.

The leaders from both sides sat down, and soon a jar of peace negotiation wine was emptied.

”Hahaha, Ling Feng, oh Ling Feng, you’re in high spirits indeed!”

As they were about to sign the cease-fire agreement, a sinister laugh echoed from the void.

Ling Feng would never forget this voice.

Ghost-faced Demon Lord, Lin Canglang!

”You again, Lin Canglang, you’re as haunting as ever!”

Ling Feng furrowed his brow. Unfortunately, he was besieged by Nine Demon Emperors back then, or he would have slain this demon during the Chaos Rebirth.

”Hmph, you survived even in the Demon Emperor Palace, you do have nine lives.”

Lin Canglang’s voice, ethereal and elusive, seemed both near and far. Even Ling Feng’s Unlimited Vision could not detect his location.

”Since you’re here, why not show yourself!”

Ling Feng snorted coldly, Ten Directions Annihilation drawn instantly.

”Boy, I’m just here to let you know that your deceased Master, Duanmu Qingshan, is now in my hands. If you want to save him, come to the Zangfeng Plain within three days. Of course, given your status as General Ling today, you might not even care about Duanmu Qingshan’s life, hahaha...”

The sinister laughter faded away, from near to far.

In the high sky, a Green Wood Wine Gourd dropped down. Ling Feng reached out and caught it, his pupils dilating upon recognizing it immediately.

This Green Wood Wine Gourd was indeed Duanmu Qingshan’s belonging, and it was never away from him!
