Chapter 1371: Chapter 1361: Deep thoughts

“Don’t shoot!”

I shouted and told all the archers to place their bows down. The Demon Hall Cavalry was definitely not here to attack, he had another goal, “Let him over.”

As expected, he galloped right over. Yan Zhao Warrior, Lin Wan Er, Li Mu and I stood under the commander flag.

……

“Who is his highness Li Xiao Yao?” His eyes were filled with fear. Both sides were at war and humans and hybrid demons were enemies. So there was never a rule that we won’t kill envoys so we could slay him at any time.

“I am, what is it?” I held Butterfly and asked slowly.

“Your Highness!”

He cupped his fists, “Queen Sif would like you to head to our tent to discuss, are you willing to give face?”

Han Yuan was furious, “Nonsense, we just need a few more rounds to blow all of you up so why must he risk his life to head to your camp? If you want to discuss then let Sif come over, if not no discussion!”

The messenger was stunned, “But… Queen Sif did say that… If you are not willing then I will head back to reply.”

“No need.” I smiled, “I will head back with you.”

Jing Yin said hurriedly, “No! Your Highness can’t go. If Sif takes you down then what would we do?”

I laughed and slapped my chest, “Don’t worry, I won’t die, Sif can’t do anything to me. Moreover, if I get kidnapped, don’t hesitate to just blow her up.”

Long Xing held his spear and said, “Since that is the case, I will follow your highness over.”

Lin Qiong held his sword too,”Your Highness, Lin Qiong is willing to go too.”

Jing Yin blinked, “Me too…”

I thought about it and smiled, “Long Xing stay to protect the cannons, this place needs you. Lin Qiong and Jing Yin can follow me over. Everyone stay here, before I leave don’t do anything. Apart from that, if I am not back within an hour, just attack.”

“Yes General!” Han Yuan, Xiao Lie, Long Xing and Xia Ye all nodded.

……

I summoned the War God Horse and headed out of the formation with my horse. Lin Qiong and Jing Yin followed. Apart from that, Lin Wan Er, Dong Cheng Yue, Li Mu and Wang Jian were worried and also followed. There weren’t many of us but it won’t be easy for Sif to kill us. Especially when I saw Frost flying in the sky, I was more at ease.

Sif swallowed Azure’s soul and took a portion of his strength but she still wasn’t Frost’s match. Frost was a top war goddess and she was top in the world.

The Demon Hall Cavalry led us into his camp. When we stepped in, we saw how tragic this place was. A bunch of them had broken arms and legs. Their food source was always bodies but there weren’t any here. Some were so hungry that they ate the bodies of allies. Some were even biting at their own broken arms.

Lin Wan Er frowned and didn’t say anything.

I rode my horse and looked around coldly. This was war and Sif was at the end of it. Even if she swallowed Azure’s soul, nothing good came to her at the end.

“The Queen’s tent is there…” The cavalryman pointed.

I was not afraid and rode the horse over. The tent was really simple and it was made with just a few tattered pieces of cloth. The moment I opened the curtain, 7 five star hybrid demon bosses pulled out their weapons.

“Why, am I not welcomed?” I smiled and asked.

“Keep your weapons.” Sif sat on the master position and sat up, “Li Xiao Yao long time no see, bring your friends in?”

I nodded and smiled and led everyone in. Frost held her sword and walked in too. When she walked in, Sif was shocked and the hybrid demon general's body shook. Frost’s god power was pure light power. These hybrid demons found it hard to breathe from the pressure.

“Goddess Frost is here too…”

Sif smiled and then glanced at her shoulder. It was the wound that Frost left on her in the previous battle. Her shoulder was pierced through by Frost and it was that sword that caused Sif’s army to collapse.

Frost smiled and didn’t say anything, she just followed beside me. When I sat down, she stood behind me. The role she was playing this time was my guard.

……

“Speak.” I sat down and said, “Sif you called me here for a reason right?”

Sif nodded and said, “I have to admit, Tian Ling City’s technology is surprising. Dragon Crystal Cannons and God Dragon Cannons changed the entire war. Hybrid demons lost. The power from hell can’t block the cannons but I must still ask…. Please give us a way out.”

“Let you live?” Lin Qiong frowned, “If we lost, you won’t let us humans live right?”

Sif smiled and silently admitted.

I asked, “How do you want me to let you live?”

Sif said, “I think you should know that the hybrid demons are badly affected and it is nearly impossible to rise back up. We can’t threaten Tian Ling Empire anymore so I hope you can lead your troops out of Bone Refining Basin. This is our final land. As long as you are willing to back out, I am willing to give up the millions of gold here as a gift to his majesty Lochlan. Apart from that, I will give the hundred thousand sets of armor from the Shura World storage, what do you think?”

I said directly, “You don’t want the basin, you just want the hell crack right?”

She smiled awkwardly, “Since The Executor knows about that then there is nothing I can say. Are you willing to allow me to keep the basin?”

“No.”

I said firmly, “If it is in your hands, I will find it difficult to sleep.”

Sif sighed, “I know, I guessed that The Executor definitely won’t let me go. Since that is the case then Sif won’t struggle. The Executor can bring me head to command the army, the world is under your hands.”

I shook my head, “No, I just can’t give up on the crack but I might not have to kill you.”

“Oh?”

She was shocked and she understood something and smiled, “It is because of her highness Pearl right?”

I nodded and smiled, “Smart, as expected from someone that could swallow Azure. If you die then won’t Pearl lose her opponent? So I can’t let you die, I can even give you a chance. Lead your people to the north to Shura World and God Demon Well to rest up.”

“What is the price?” This smart hybrid demon queen saw through my thoughts.

I laughed, “Simple, tell me what is the hell tunnel, how to control it?”

“As expected.”

She stood up and walked to my side and said towards my ear, “The tunnel is maintained by darkness. I used ten giant darkness crystals to provide energy and they are enough to maintain the tunnel but… Once they break, the balance would be broken and naturally, the tunnel will be closed.”

I frowned, “As long as the crystals are broken then the tunnel will be closed?”

“Nope.” She giggled, “Naturally there is a process. If you destroy one, it might close in a year. But if you destroy 9, just one day and it would destroy the balance.”

“If I need it to last a week?”

“Destroy seven.”

“Okay.” I smiled, “Deal, but you need to destroy them before you leave okay?”

She glanced at me, “The Executor, we have fought for so many years and I didn’t expect you to be so bad. You actually want me to do such a thing.”

I laughed, “Deal?”

“En, deal!”

……

After we left, the war stopped.

“Hong hong hong…”

After a few loud explosions, the ground shook. Sif destroyed the darkness crystals. In a blink of an eye, 7 of the ten golden lights around the pillar broke. Shortly after, Sif’s army started to retreat and back out of the camp. Only the tunnel remained.

I whistled and a war hawk knight landed, “General!”

“Tell her highness Pearl that she can lead her men in.”

“Yes sir!”

Frost smiled, “Xiao Yao, you really spent so much effort for Lochlan…”

I nodded but I didn’t expect lochlan to actually suspect me and I felt a little sour. Forget it, life was like that, many times one would be hurt.
