The first land where humans and monsters can coexist peacefully...
A new city full of monsters...
There was no movement in the quiet room for a long time, only the flickering candlelight illuminated their faces.
His eyes were filled with extremely complex emotions, and his face, as holy and noble as a fairy's, was filled with shock.
There is no doubt that the conditions given by Wei Changtian were something Qingxian had never thought of before.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
This is a principle that mankind has always adhered to for tens of thousands of years, and it is also a bottom line that no one has ever dared to cross.
yes.
Perhaps there are many people in this world who also do not agree with the concept of "everyone who is different must be punished", and they even get along with monsters day and night, becoming partners, friends, relatives...
However, no one dares to speak out their thoughts...even emperors like Li Qi and second-level masters like Wu Tianqing.
Because they know that this will cause them to lose everything they have.
The world will not accept their views.
Even if it does, it will take a long, long time.
But before that happens, they will become the target of public criticism and the enemy of thousands of people.
so.
If considered from this perspective, Wei Changtian's current actions look more like... betraying the entire human race.
Provided that everything he said is true...
"Master Wei..."
After an unknown amount of time, Qingxian finally took a deep breath and asked a question in a deep voice.
"How can I trust you? I believe that you will not go back on your word?"
"..."
Contrary to Qingxian's performance, Wei Changtian was slightly relieved when he heard this question.
Asking this means that this condition is enough to make Qingxian's heart move.
As for how to prove that I am not just talking nonsense...
"Lord Demon King."
"In ten days at the latest, a thousand miles south of Shuzhou City, you will see a new city rising from the ground."
"This city will be built in less than half a year."
"Of course, if Shuzhou is no longer in my hands by then, it will be a different story."
"..."
Ten days later, the ground was broken to build the city, and half a year later, a new city was built.
Wei Changtian's statement is not completely whimsical. After all, the speed of "infrastructure construction" in the world of cultivation is far beyond what it could be compared to in previous generations.
And the promise of "starting construction in ten days" is obviously a show of sincerity.
However, this still cannot make Qingxian make up his mind.
Eight hundred years since his birth, three hundred years since he ascended to the throne of Demon King.
This is probably the most difficult choice she has faced in these long years.
Because this choice is not just about her.
It will undoubtedly have an impact and even rewrite the fate of the entire demon clan.
Where should we go from here?
Slowly lowering his head, Qingxian fell into deep thought in the moonlight that remained unchanged for thousands of years.
"..."
"Chirp, chirp~ chirp, chirp~"
The autumn wind is quiet and the night birds are chirping slightly.
Time passed little by little in silence, and the bright moon slowly moved from the front of Wuyang Palace to the night sky above the quiet room.
Just when the last corner of the crescent moon outside the window was blocked by the window edge and disappeared from sight, a calm voice finally sounded again.
"Lord Demon King, I know this is a difficult choice."
"Actually, it's the same for me."
"You don't have to worry about me going back on my word, because the moment the monsters from the Hundred Thousand Mountains appear on the battlefield, it's destined that you and I are in the same boat."
"And if this boat capsizes, I'm going to be in a much harder position than you are."
"At worst, you can lead the demon clan back to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but I have no way to retreat. I will only become a traitor to the human race that everyone can punish..."
"Then why are you still doing this?"
Qingxian suddenly raised his head and interrupted Wei Changtian's words: "Why do you risk the world to do something that is destined to be despised by thousands of people?"
"Because this is the only way I can think of to protect Shuzhou."
Smiling, Wei Changtian's expression remained unchanged: "As for being spurned by others... I've long been used to being scolded, and it doesn't matter anymore."
"What's more, there is no guarantee that after thousands of years, future generations will build a monument for me."
"monument......"
Qingxian was slightly startled, as if he understood what Wei Changtian meant.
If humans and demons can really coexist peacefully from now on, then future generations may re-examine Wei Changtian's current actions and "rectify chaos" for the two of them. It is impossible to say whether they will actually build a monument.
It's just that all this is too far away after all, at least we won't see it while Wei Changtian is alive.
So in Qingxian's view, Wei Changtian actually has only one motive...
"Shuzhou, is it really that important..."
He murmured something like talking to himself, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Qingxian's current appearance was enough to make any man willing to answer all her questions, but Wei Changtian did not answer any more.
He just paused for a moment, and then slowly stood up.
"Master Demon King, I have said everything that needs to be said."
"I know you haven't made up your mind yet, so I can wait a few more days."
"However, the imperial army will leave Shuzhou in the near future, so I hope you will decide as soon as possible."
"The demon clan has been wasting away in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for too many years. They should come out and take a look."
"That's it..."
After saying the last words and taking a deep look at Qingxian who was motionless, Wei Changtian turned around and prepared to leave.
But just as he was about to push open the wooden door of the quiet room, Qingxian suddenly called out to him.
"Master Wei, there is no need to wait any longer."
"Everything will be as you said...you and I will make a deal."
...
...
After walking out of the quiet room, Yang Liushi, who had been waiting outside, had already guessed the outcome of the negotiation from Wei Changtian's expression.
After her tense mood relaxed a little, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Master, has the matter been settled?"
"Um."
Nodding, Wei Changtian took the lantern from Yang Liushi and asked with a smile: "Where is Chu Xianping?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Master Chu is waiting outside."
Yang Liushi looked a little distressed: "It's so late, do you want to go somewhere else?"
"Yes, I still need to meet someone again."
As Wei Changtian walked out of the mansion, he persuaded in a low voice: "Okay, I can go out by myself. You go and have a rest. You will be busy for a while."
"okay."
Yang Liushi didn't ask what she was busy with, nor did she insist on sending Wei Changtian out.
She just whispered again, "Slow down, then" and then stopped, standing there and watching Wei Changtian slowly walk out of the house.
Perhaps, she has already guessed what conditions Wei Changtian offered Qingxian.
"Is Shuzhou... really so important?"
The same question as Qingxian came to Yang Liushi's mind, and turned into a real question a quarter of an hour later, and was asked again by Chu Xianping.
"Sir, why do you value Shuzhou so much?"
On the speeding carriage, Chu Xianping, who had just heard Wei Changtian finish explaining the contents of the transaction, frowned.
Indeed, with the help of the demon clan, the chance of defeating the imperial army will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
But the price behind this is too high.
Building a new city is a trivial matter. The most important thing is that Wei Changtian or Ning Yuke will inevitably become the "sinner" in the eyes of thousands of people.
Even if Wei Changtian has a way to change the mindset of the people in Shuzhou, what about other people in the world?
Is it really worth it?
There are so many ways to rebel, why do you have to choose the most extreme one?
In fact, Chu Xianping had always disapproved of Wei Changtian's eagerness to establish a king to rebel, but because the latter was very determined, he could only do it.
But now he really couldn't figure out what was so special about Shuzhou that allowed Wei Changtian to give up so much for it.
"Gululu..."
The wheels rolled over the road, and the black carriage drove quickly through Shuzhou City, which was bustling and bustling during the day but is now peaceful and peaceful.
Wei Changtian was silent for more than ten breaths after hearing this question for the second time.
But this time, he gave the answer.
"Brother Chu, if we just change the emperor, then it really doesn't have to be so troublesome."
"There is really nothing special about Shuzhou."
"However, I always have a place to tell everyone in the world... whether they are people or monsters, they can actually live in another way..."
