Chapter 243 Peace Talk

Facing the continuous inquiries from the crowd, Long Han could only respond with a helpless smile. From beginning to end, he did not reveal any substantive content, which made many practitioners present feel unhappy and confused.

At this moment, the haze and gray fog that originally shrouded the sky and the earth strangely dissipated at the same time, and the figures of the old demon Hehuan and the mysterious man in a black robe appeared clearly in front of everyone.

The two of them looked at each other, their eyes full of indifference and hostility.

At the same time, the sounds and strange visions of the fight in the sky disappeared in an instant, and then Wei Wuya and Master Zhiyang descended from the sky safely.

Witnessing this scene, everyone in the cultivator camp breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone's face was filled with a relieved smile.

Not long after, the scholar surnamed Zhong and his short companion returned safely from the air, and the Mulan people couldn't help but cheer.

After these three crucial practitioners all returned to the team, Long Han finally spoke calmly.

However, in order to avoid causing greater panic, he decided to only inform some people of this information for the time being.

Therefore, only those strong men who have reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and a few cultivators with special identities would be called together to set up some simple restrictions and discuss the worrying news just received from the Mulan people in front of the formation.

Considering the outstanding strength Chen Yun demonstrated in this battle, he undoubtedly became a representative figure participating in this meeting.

Long Han, who was standing beside Chen Yun, quickly released a soundproof cover, then took out many small flags from his body, and quickly spread a fog to completely isolate himself from the outside world.

Faced with such a situation, Chen Yun remained silent and fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about something.

There were not many cultivators present, only about twenty, including several mysterious old men still trapped in the blood shield. These cultivators naturally represented most of the forces participating in the battle.

"Fellow Daoist Long, what exactly happened? Why did the Mulan people suddenly decide not to continue this war?"

Master Zhiyang asked the first question.

"It's a little strange indeed. We have come to this stage. Does the other side still expect to reach a peace agreement?"

Wei Wuya also expressed doubts about this.

"That's not the case. In fact, we have to accept this fact whether we like it or not."

Long Han replied with a wry smile.

"What is the reason? Is there really other forces involved?" asked the old demon Hehuan with a frown.

"That's right. The Tuwu people have already taken action, and it is rumored that they have united with several sects of the Jin Dynasty to put pressure on the Mulan people. The largest tribe of the Mulan people stationed in the rear was completely wiped out a month ago."

"However, the Tuwu people kept the news so secret that other tribes of the Mulan people knew nothing about it. It seems that the Tuwu people are playing the trick of 'fighting between the snipe and the clam' and have also developed a strong interest in our Tiannan land."

Long Han explained in a heavy tone.

Hearing these words, all the immortal cultivators present were shocked.

The scene fell into silence. Chen Yun also felt that the situation was not good and frowned.

This is simply a dilemma of having a tiger at the front door and a wolf coming in through the back door!
"Huh! How true is this news? The Tuwu people are still far away from our Tiannan territory. Could it be that the Mulan people are just bluffing?" asked the Soul-Breaking Immortal in confusion.

"It should be certain. Fellow Daoist Tianhen and his group who entered Tiantian City have already encountered failure."

"It is reported that the Tuwu spy lurking within the Mulan people sent a team into Tiantian City with the same purpose, intending to rob the Mulan people's warehouse resources. As a result, they happened to meet Fellow Daoist Tianhen and others, and eventually both of them revealed their identities. After this conflict, I believe you can all see the clues."

"The Mulan people who went all out may be slightly inferior to us in strength, but they are determined to fight to the death. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Chen's amazing strength at the critical moment, defeating those bronze-armored corpses and Mulan's sacred birds in succession, the situation would have taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the war would have ended in defeat."

"On the other hand, in our Tiannan region, although all the major forces have come out in full force, they are not actually doing their best. Each sect has left nearly half of its disciples behind to guard the mountain gate. If the war continues, even if we succeed in annihilating the Mulan magicians who have nowhere to retreat, it will inevitably cause serious losses. Once the Tuwu people take advantage of the victory to pursue us, we will be unable to resist."

Long Han stated firmly with a helpless look on his face.

When the immortal cultivators who heard about Chen Yun's successful cracking of the corpse and the demon bird, they all looked at him in amazement and showed him respect. Chen Yun's expression was normal, without any fluctuation.

"Humph! The Mulan people want to seize our Tiannan land. How can we easily compromise? Do we really have to cede half of our land to them?"

Wei Wuya seemed quite dissatisfied with this and said coldly.

"It is naturally impossible to divide it in half. However, in the border area of ​​the Mulan grassland, it is enough to arbitrarily demarcate the border between the two countries and give this land to the Mulan people to live in."

"In this way, although the attacks of the Tuwu people will still be borne by the Mulan people, given the deep hatred between the two races, it is basically impossible for them to betray each other. Of course, at present, the Tuwu people are very powerful, so we still need to work hand in hand with the Mulan people."

Just a moment ago, they were still fighting for their lives, but in the blink of an eye, Long Han explained that they could become a bridge for alliance. All the practitioners did not show any surprise.

They are all ancient beings with long lives, and have witnessed countless things that can make things happen with just a wave of their hands.

As long as it is in their best interests, they will not make decisions based on emotional factors.

“If it’s close to the border, doesn’t it mean that the territory of our Nine-Nation Alliance will be divided among them?” Wei Wuya looked a little embarrassed.

"This is indeed something we cannot help. After all, your alliance's territory is adjacent to the Mulan Grassland. Of course, this loss cannot be borne entirely by your alliance alone. We can discuss together to see if we can give your alliance appropriate compensation." Long Han explained patiently.

"We'll discuss this matter later. First we need to understand the views of the Mulan people on this matter, and then we can discuss it in depth."

Wei Wuya was obviously not satisfied with this matter and declined it in a nonchalant manner.

When Chen Yun heard this, his eyes quickly swept across the faces of Master Zhiyang and the old demon Hehuan. Although the two of them had serious expressions, they seemed to be thinking about this matter.

But Chen Yun detected a hint of affection in their eyes.

It's just that due to Wei Wuya's consideration, I can't express my approval immediately.

Chen Yun sighed helplessly. It seemed that once their respective interests were involved, the various forces immediately began to fight against each other.

When Long Han heard Wei Wuya's words, he did not show any surprise on his face. Instead, he smiled and agreed: "The above are all my personal opinions. As for how to properly handle this matter, we still need to discuss it together. At the same time, we must send envoys to Mulan Grassland as soon as possible to verify the authenticity of this matter. Only in this way can we start negotiations with the Mulan people."

"If the facts are true, then the dispute with the Mulan people cannot continue. We all need to make concessions, otherwise the Tuwu people will only reap the benefits."

Long Han's remarks made the practitioners present quite satisfied. Wei Wuya's expression also eased a little.

Everyone then began to discuss the relevant matters in detail.

During this process, Chen Yun remained silent, neither making any suggestions nor participating in the discussion.

For him, unless it involves the vital interests of himself and Luoyun Sect, he is not willing to spend energy on such matters. And with Long Han here, I believe that the power of Tiandao League should not suffer too much loss.

Soon after, these ancient beings agreed on a response strategy and contingency measures, then lifted the ban and dispersed the clouds.

On the opposite side of the mage camp, the three mages and their entourage also held emergency consultations and finally reached a consensus on a temporary truce.

So each side sent a representative, and after a brief discussion, they signed a temporary ceasefire agreement. As for other matters, I am afraid they can only be discussed and negotiated in more detail in the future.

However, it can be seen that although the masters in the monks' camp have solemn expressions, they are obviously full of confusion and anxiety about the future.

Their former retreat had been cut off, and they had completely become homeless wanderers, confused about their future path. Their morale had fallen to its lowest point compared to before the war broke out.

After witnessing the army of mages quietly leaving, many cultivators including Chen Yun also chose to leave the battlefield and head towards Tianyi City.

At this point, the border war involving more than 100,000 immortal cultivators finally came to an end.

……

In the territory of Xiguo, somewhere a hundred miles away from Yunmeng Mountain, a ray of green light flashed by like lightning. In this ray of green light, a figure could be vaguely seen.

This person was wearing a blue Confucian robe, with an ordinary face, but he looked extremely calm and composed. He was Chen Yun who had just returned to Luoyun Sect. At this moment, several months had passed since the border war.

When they learned that the Tuwu people were trying to reap the benefits, the Mulan people and the various forces in Tiannan, although dissatisfied, had to temporarily put aside their disputes.

After confirming from the old monster Tianhen who escaped back to Tianyi City that there are indeed other forces that are also coveting the interests of the Mulan people.

All forces immediately dispatched a large number of monks to the Mulan grassland to investigate, and indeed discovered that the mortals of the Mulan tribe had been driven to the border area near the grassland.

In the original residence of the Mulan people, the figures of the Tuwu people have begun to appear.

Faced with this situation, Tiannan and other main leaders could no longer continue to hesitate and immediately launched extremely fierce negotiations with the Mulan people.

At first, the Mulan people unceremoniously proposed to obtain one-third of Tiannan's territory, otherwise they would rather face the disaster of genocide and go to war with Tiannan again. The two sides were once in a stalemate and could not reach a consensus.

However, as the mortals of the Mulan tribe continued to pour into the border of the grassland, and the Tuwu people openly pursued the Mulan masters, the main leaders of the Tiannan tribe could only gradually make concessions.

After all, compared with the isolation and helplessness that the Tiannan monks may face in the future, the disaster of genocide that the Mulan people are about to face is undoubtedly more urgent.

There is a blood feud between the Mulan people and the Tuwu people that has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and there is no possibility of compromise or surrender.

After several rounds of concessions, it was finally decided to use the two countries they occupied to resettle the Tiannan people.

As for Tiannan, all the mortals in these countries need to be relocated to other countries.

At the same time, the three major forces each divided out a part of the area to make up for the losses of the Nine-Nation Alliance and provide new homes for the monks and sects of these countries.

Of course, this is not always the case.

In this complex and changing world, the enemies faced by the Mulan people are not only the Tiannan people, but also unexpected attacks from South America.

When the Tuwu people invaded, Mulanfashi had to do his best to resist.

At the same time, the forces of various countries in southern China gathered together to mobilize military force to resist foreign aggression.

Therefore, although the Mulan people obtained land to recuperate, they still shouldered similar responsibilities as in the Nine-Nation Alliance era, and always remained vigilant against possible attacks from the Tuwu people at any time.

Moreover, since it is composed of only two countries, the major powers in Tiannan do not need to worry about the growing strength of the Mulan people and the potential threat they pose.

As we all know, cultivation resources are an important indicator to measure the strength of a country or tribe.

However, although the Mulan people were in a narrow area and could only rely on the assistance of the two countries, they were fortunate enough to escape the danger of extinction.

All parties expressed a relatively satisfied attitude towards this situation.

However, several things related to Chen Yun also happened during this process.

First of all, Chen Yun once killed the partner of the Yinluo Sect's leader, which made this Jin State demon cultivator hate him. He wrote many letters asking to fight Chen Yun in a one-on-one fight.

However, when Chen Yun received the challenge letter, he just glanced at it contemptuously and burned it to ashes without giving any response or promise.

It is really unbelievable that a late Nascent Soul cultivator challenges an early Nascent Soul cultivator.

Chen Yun was not a hot-blooded and impulsive young man, so he would not easily accept such a provocation.

Afterwards, after the Mulan tribe reached a peace agreement with Tiannan, the leader of the Yinluo Sect had an unknown in-depth conversation with the Mulan Divine Master, and immediately led his subordinates to leave the place. It is rumored that he has returned to the State of Jin.

This incident finally put Chen Yun's heart at ease.

Secondly, it is about the ancient lamp that Chen Yun seized - the "Yuanming Lantern", the inherited treasure of the Mulan tribe.

After the peace agreement was signed, several Mulan tribe diviners said that this lamp was passed down from generation to generation by the Mulan people and must not fall into the hands of others. So they tried to get the lamp back from Chen Yun. (End of this chapter)
