Chapter 1447: Chapter 1447 Negotiation (Part 2)
Long Fei pondered for a moment and curiously stared at Yaoji Saintess, asking, “Why are you telling me all this?”
Yaoji Saintess smiled and said, “Aren’t you here to negotiate with me? I want you to understand where you stand right now and how much leverage you have in negotiations with me.”
“So, you mean everything we do and say is under your surveillance?”
Long Fei was somewhat displeased, often being intimate with Wang Xiaoya.
This made him feel uncomfortable knowing that others might have heard.
Yaoji Saintess awkwardly said, “Don’t think too much; we only listen to what’s necessary. I have no interest in those messy affairs.”
The more she explained, the more suspicious Long Fei became.
He spoke earnestly to Yaoji Saintess, “Let’s discuss serious matters! Does your Flame Emperor Palace really intend to support the new emperor to wage war against South Yangtze Prefecture? Isn’t this just benefiting the Demon Race?”
Yaoji Saintess replied, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you this? Must you be at odds with the new emperor? Isn’t it better to surrender and unite against the Demon Race?”
Long Fei asked her, “I want to know how you plan to deal with the Demon Race.”
Yaoji Saintess said, “At this point, I might as well not hide it from you. We’ve found a Land of Rebirth for the Human Race and have cultivated it for a thousand years. It can accommodate a billion human cultivators.
The place is easy to defend and hard to attack, protected by layers of formations, and has top human experts stationed there. Even if the entire Demon Race attacks, they cannot breach it.
What the Imperial Court needs to do now is to gather all the strong individuals and resources from the Human Race and then move them to the Land of Rebirth in batches. We’ll train there and resist the Demon Race, relying on time and resources to eventually defeat them.”
“What about the ordinary people?”
Long Fei felt a chill in his heart, having already guessed the strategy of the Flame Emperor Palace, which was just the usual elite resistance tactic.
Unexpectedly, this time they were even more thorough, directly choosing a place to hide.
Yaoji Saintess took a sip of wine and told him, “You haven’t seen how formidable the Demon Race is; we can’t even match them, let alone ordinary people.
They can act as meat shields temporarily, blocking the Demon Race for a while, which can be considered fulfillment of their duty to the Human Race.
As long as a billion elite humans are entirely transferred over, in less than ten years, we can cultivate a billion experts.
They will also intermarry, ultimately giving birth to new life. Relying on the power of time, as one side grows while the other weakens, we’ll surely hold out until the end and win the final victory.”
Long Fei was so angry that he cursed out loud, veins bulging on his face as he said, “You mean to let ordinary people become food for the Demon Race, to have them block the Demon Race and provide you with time to escape?”
Yaoji Saintess’s face turned cold as she said, “Why are you shouting so loudly? The law of the jungle has always been the principle of the Great Dao.
You pity ordinary people, but that will only harm the Human Race’s resistance power. With so many ordinary people in the Great Xia Country, do we have the energy and resources to take care of all of them?
Besides, the Demon Race won’t slaughter them all at once. They also need a long-term food source and will govern the ordinary people similarly. As long as we win in the end, we’ll rescue these ordinary people.”
In the pavilion, someone heard their argument and revealed themselves with swords in hand.
Yaoji Saintess waved them off to temporarily stand down.
Long Fei, fuming with anger, said with a dark face, “Fine, very well. I thought you had already failed once and would change. I didn’t expect you to remain so hidebound, refusing to adapt. Even more cowardly and shameless than before. Do you think you can defeat the Demon Race with this escape strategy? Keep dreaming!”
He stood up, flicked his sleeves, and was about to leave.
Yaoji Saintess reached out to stop him, “Wait, negotiation is about seeking common ground while shelving differences. Walking away every time, what kind of big achievement can come of that?”
Long Fei held his breath, stared at her, and said, “I’ll be frank with you. While you dare not confront the Demon Race head-on, some will. While you refuse to protect ordinary people, some will.
Tell your leaders and the puppet emperor who ascended the throne. This fight is set between us in South Yangtze Prefecture and you. We will march into Chang’an City, unify the Great Xia Country, and lead all the Human Race against the Demon Race.
Even if we fight to the last soldier, we shall not retreat an inch. Even if we are ultimately smashed to pieces, we shall make the Demon Race know that there are still men within the Human Race who are unafraid of death.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
“Long Fei, can you not be so childish?”
Yaoji Saintess exhaled deeply, furrowing her brow, and tried to persuade him, “If you agree to our plan and hand over South Yangtze Prefecture, we will provide you and your family, friends, and siblings with the best training resources.
In the Land of Rebirth, you will grow rapidly. It won’t be long before you become leaders among the resisters.
Isn’t this approach more meaningful? Must you foolishly fight hard and deplete all of the Human Race’s resources as a strategy to resist the Demon Race? What benefit does this bring to the Human Race besides proving you as heroes?”
“That’s your opinion.”
Long Fei resolutely refused, his expression stern as he said, “No consensus can be reached with those who differ fundamentally. You needn’t persuade me. I’ll show you where the true power of the Human Race lies.
The Human Race has survived for millions of years, not because of the selfish elites you think, but because of the billions of ordinary people.
They are the cells of this country, the bloodline, the unbreakable backbone.
Only by mobilizing all their strength can we truly defeat the Demon Race and continue the destiny of the entire Human Race. Relying on you will only cause the Human Race to self-destruct its luck, eventually perishing at the hands of the Demon Race.”
Yaoji Saintess sighed helplessly, “Alright, since you insist on your path, there’s no point in further discussion with you.
Our Land of Rebirth won’t miss you. The choice is yours. Let me tell you, my father once held the same views as you.
But the final result was that the Human Race was nearly destroyed by the Demon Race with none surviving. If not for that exceptional individual’s last desperate strike, severing the two realms with a sword, forcibly sealing the Demon Race and changing Heaven and Earth Laws, this world would no longer exist. You are not him, and resisting to the end will only lead to self-destruction.”
“Then let us each walk our own paths!”
Long Fei no longer had anything to say, so angry that he forgot all about Yaoji Saintess.
He was about to leave.
Yaoji Saintess brought out a herb that looked like jade and handed it to him, saying, “This is for you. You came for business; you can’t return empty-handed.”
Long Fei exhaled a breath of anger, releasing Ji Haotian and the elder of the Divinity Transformation Realm.
He took the Yao Grass, and with a dark face, disappeared from sight.
Ji Haotian, regaining his senses, shouted repeatedly, “Stop him! This villain harbors ill intentions; we must not let him leave!”
