Chapter 493: The Demon Tribe Seeks Peace

In the Kunlun Realm, the territory of the demon tribe, Li Xiaojun began his assault on various demon cities once more.

Under the perception of his divine sense, which was comparable to a Da Luo Golden Immortal, he encountered no danger for several days.

At the same time, he cleared dozens of demon cities.

However, as Li Xiaojun continued his actions in the demon territory, the entire demon tribe quickly learned about this group of elusive humans attacking their cities.

As a result, many demons became extremely anxious.

This situation led to many demon cultivators in the cities moving away from their homes to live outside the city walls.

Thus, when Li Xiaojun returned to a demon city a few days later, he discovered it had turned into a ghost town.

"These demons reacted so quickly?"

Li Xiaojun found it somewhat speechless.

He couldn’t believe that after slaughtering dozens of demon cities, the demons had realized what was happening.

In his divine sense perception, he sensed many demons, but they were very scattered. If he wanted to kill them, it would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

So in the end, Li Xiaojun chose to give up on continuing the hunt for demons.

He sensed that these were merely lower-level demons, and killing more of them wouldn’t be of any benefit to him.

Thinking about it, Li Xiaojun decided to steal some resources from the demons.

Through soul searching on some demons, Li Xiaojun had already learned about many of the demon’s immortal essence stone veins.

Previously, he had looked down on high-quality immortal essence stone veins and only stole the superior-grade immortal essence stone veins from demons.

Now, he decided to take all of the demons’ high-quality immortal essence stone veins.

Just as Li Xiaojun prepared to steal the high-quality immortal essence stone veins, the demon leaders were also discussing how to handle the aftermath of the situation.

Given the current circumstances, the demon tribe had no way to deal with these humans.

"Why don’t we use the safety of the entire Human Race to force them into submission?" suggested one of the demon leaders.

"Will that even work? I doubt these people care about the safety of the Human Race."

"Moreover, if we strike at the Human Race, what if they retaliate against us for a long time? Many of our subordinates are already feeling anxious…"

"How will we know unless we try? Even if we can’t exterminate the entire Human Race, can’t we use their safety to force them to stop?"

Upon hearing this, a demon leader frowned, "They killed our male demon Erlang; do you think we can just let them off with a warning?"

"What then? Should we threaten them with the Human Race and demand their surrender? Are you sure they won’t just continue to retaliate against the demon tribe afterward?"

At this point, everyone fell silent.

After a while, one of the demon leaders lightly spoke, "Let’s analyze what conditions are necessary for a person to teleport so silently like these people do, even a Da Luo Golden Immortal cannot block them."

Hearing this, a Da Luo Golden Immortal among the demons thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps only a Pure Golden Immortal could achieve that?"

"A Pure Golden Immortal? What are you joking about? If they were a Pure Golden Immortal, our entire demon tribe might as well give up and accept death directly."

The Pure Golden Immortal is a level higher than the Da Luo Golden Immortal, commonly referred to as Half-Saint. In his eyes, a Da Luo Golden Immortal is merely a stronger ant. If a Pure Golden Immortal appeared, the entire demon tribe might not be able to withstand their wrath.

"It cannot be a Pure Golden Immortal, but I suspect that the opponent likely possesses a very powerful spatial spirit treasure. To achieve such a feat, I estimate their spirit treasure must at least be a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure," said a demon Da Luo lightly.

"A superior-grade innate spiritual treasure? Impossible! A superior-grade innate spiritual treasure has its own spirit; it wouldn’t recognize a being weaker than a Pure Golden Immortal as its master…"

"Moreover, a being below Pure Golden Immortal level would struggle to unleash its full potential…"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

A superior-grade innate spiritual treasure is a level of spirit treasure they could hardly dare to imagine. During the Primordial Period, only Pure Golden Immortals and Saints possessed such treasures. For instance, the Qingping Sword of the Great Sage is one of these superior-grade innate spiritual treasures. Such a spirit treasure requires at least a Pure Golden Immortal to exhibit its power.

Of course, a Pure Golden Immortal with a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure could easily suppress one without it.

"Everyone, we still need to use the Human Race to threaten them; even if we can only force them to stop temporarily," a demon Da Luo addressed everyone.

Facing an unknown enemy, the demon Da Luo had no means to counter, so to secure the demon tribe’s peace, the upper echelons had no choice but to compromise.

Li Xiaojun has already threatened the fundamental interests of the demon tribe. If he continues to attack the demons, all demons below the Taiyi Golden Immortal level will remain in a state of constant fear.

Li Xiaojun’s presence poses an immense threat to the demon tribe.

It is akin to how North Korea’s nuclear bomb and intercontinental missiles deter the United States.

When North Korea lacked nuclear weapons, the U.S. pressured and provoked it in various ways. When North Korea possessed nuclear bombs, the U.S. even sought to use its hegemony to force North Korea to give them up.

However, when North Korea had intercontinental missiles capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, no matter how much North Korea provoked, the U.S. remained utterly silent.

At that moment, Li Xiaojun is akin to an inexhaustible nuclear bomb.

His existence poses an immense threat to the demon tribe.

Even the demons in the Golden Immortal Realm are fearful, worried about encountering him one day and being defeated in an instant.

And if the opponent continues to target the demon tribe, the demons have no choice but to retreat back to the Demon Realm.

Until they find a way to deal with him, the demons can only endure.

However, now the demons want to negotiate with Li Xiaojun but cannot find him.

Thus, the upper echelons of the demon tribe decided to use the safety of the Human Race to threaten him, and then enter negotiations.

While the demon tribe was using the safety of the Human Race to threaten Li Xiaojun, he was busy stealing from the demon’s high-quality immortal essence stone vein.

On the other hand, after communicating their threat to the Human Race, the demon leaders noticed that Li Xiaojun had not continued his slaughter of the demons and finally sighed in relief.

"It seems those people do care about the safety of the Human Race. Now that they have stopped attacking us, it indicates they may be willing to cooperate."

"It certainly seems that way. Sigh! I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. If I had known, I wouldn’t have targeted those people after the war ended," a demon leader expressed with a grimace.

"I just don’t know how to restrict their abilities. If we could prevent them from teleporting, defeating them would be much easier…"

"Perhaps we could set up a no-fly formation over the cities, so they can’t teleport."

"If they possess a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, a regular no-fly formation would be useless."

"Let’s give it a try. From now on, let’s set up a no-fly formation in all of our large cities; it will help us manage things better…"
