#866 - The Fifth Demonic Land

Are you deaf?

The words fell, and the inn was silent.

Without a doubt, this was no longer a question of "being polite", but a blatant insult.

In an instant, the already tense atmosphere became even more oppressive, and the officials filling the hall all widened their eyes, their gazes focused on Su Qi.

At this moment, they were extremely afraid that Su Qi would say something confrontational.

After all, for them, these small fries, facing Wei Changtian would inevitably lead to death.

And no one wanted to die, so everyone could only hope that Su Qi could be a little "calm".

Fortunately, the latter could indeed be considered calm, and did not take any drastic actions because of Wei Changtian's words.

Even after being stunned for a moment, he actually knelt down slowly in the astonished eyes of everyone.

"Young Master Wei, in my life, I have only knelt to my parents, ancestors, and the Emperor."

"But today, I am willing to kneel for the soldiers of my Great Qian."

"I only beg you, Young Master . . ."

"Lord Su, don't try to pull this on me."

Before Su Qi could finish his "touching" words, Wei Changtian suddenly interrupted, "I'll say it one last time."

"I can not kill people, and I can also return the 200,000 surrendered soldiers to you."

"But the prerequisite is that Jing Guoqing himself comes to talk to me, there is no negotiation on this point."

"He doesn't dare to come to Linchuan, I think you know it very well."

"So instead of doing useless work here, you might as well persuade your Emperor, who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

"If even he is unwilling to take a little risk for your Great Qian soldiers, then why should I be kind-hearted?"

"You're right, aren't you."

Glancing at Su Qi, whose face was a little complicated, Wei Changtian slowly stood up.

"Alright, Lord Su, if you want to kneel, then continue kneeling."

"I won't accompany you."

". . ."

Putting down his chopsticks, Wei Changtian walked back to the second floor of the inn without looking back, passing by Su Qi.

Su Qi remained kneeling in place, and was carefully helped up by his attendant only after Wei Changtian's figure had completely disappeared.

"Let's go."

Shaking his head, he didn't say much.

The officials around him naturally didn't dare to say anything, and soon all left the inn together.

Without a doubt, Su Qi's visit to Wei Changtian this morning could be said to have yielded no results.

Not only did he fail to get the latter to change his mind, but he was even humiliated.

Of course, Su Qi didn't care whether he was humiliated or not, but suddenly felt that the last few words Wei Changtian said seemed to make some sense.

Indeed.

Although a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, if even Jing Guoqing cannot take a little risk for his own country's soldiers, then how can he expect the enemy to be merciful?

"My Lord, what should we do now?"

"This, My Lord, you're joking."

The attendant's forehead instantly broke out in cold sweat, "I, I'm just a little indignant . . ."

"Hmph, what can you do even if you're indignant?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Su Qi was silent for a long time, and then said in a deep voice:

"Let the people from the Nine Truth Sect come to see me."

"M-My Lord, you're . . ."

"Hmm?"

"Ah! Yes, yes, I was just being nosy, I'll go and do it right away!"

". . ."

On the other side, in the inn.

"Husband, what are we going to do now?"

Just as Su Qi suddenly wanted to meet with someone from the Nine Truth Sect, Yang Liushi looked at Wei Changtian, who had just returned, and asked listlessly:

"We can't just wait for Jing Guoqing, can we?"

"Of course not."

Wei Changtian shook his head with a smile, "If we just wait like this, Jing Guoqing won't come even if we wait a lifetime."

"Really?"

Yang Liushi was slightly stunned, "Is he just going to watch us kill a hundred people every day?"

"Hmph, what is a mere hundred people?"

Wei Changtian curled his lips, "From the moment these 200,000 people surrendered, they have become dispensable in Jing Guoqing's heart."

"If it weren't for the consideration of public opinion, he wouldn't say a word even if we killed all of them."

"What about Su Qi?"

Yang Liushi asked again, "Su Qi won't be willing to do this, will he?"

"He might not be, but he can't do anything about it."

Wei Changtian glanced at the carriage that had already driven away through the window, "So he will definitely think of a way."

"What can he do to think of a way?"

Yang Liushi frowned slightly, "Now that the 200,000 people are guarded by the Tiangou Army, it is impossible to resist."

"The garrison of Linchuan Prefecture is no more than 20,000 or 30,000, and the nearby prefectures have no intention of sending troops to support them."

"What can he do to solve such a predicament?"

"Then I don't know."

Wei Changtian shook his head and replied indifferently, "No matter what he wants to do, we just need to act according to our own plan."

"Our own plan . . ."

Yang Liushi suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, "Husband, you haven't told me what you plan to do yet."

"Oh, I forgot about that."

Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead, turned around and walked to face Yang Liushi, "Actually, it's not complicated, but this matter needs you and Xu Quan to handle."

"Me and Young Master Xu?"

Yang Liushi blinked her eyes and immediately understood something, "Husband, is this matter related to demons?"

"That's right."

Wei Changtian finally stopped being mysterious and slowly explained:

"There is a big mountain five hundred miles east of Linchuan City, named Changliu. Do you remember the Fourteen Demon Lands I told you about before?"

"Fourteen Demon Lands . . ."

Yang Liushi nodded, "Of course I remember, Husband said at the time that there are fourteen places where demons gather in the world, the Shiwan Mountains are the ninth, and the Bailing Mountains are the seventh."

"Yes, and Changliu Mountain is the fifth."

Wei Changtian took over the topic and continued, "And you are going to take a trip to this fifth demon land."

". . ."

Changliu Mountain, the Fifth Demon Land.

Wei Changtian first learned about the Fourteen Demon Lands from Xu Suisui.

In addition to the Bailing Mountains and the Shiwan Mountains, the latter had also told Wei Changtian about the general situation of the other demon lands.

To be honest, although these demon lands have great reputations, in Wei Changtian's eyes, their strength is basically not that great.

But that doesn't mean that others can deal with them just as easily.

For example, Linchuan City.

If there were a wave of beast tides . . .

"Husband, don't you want me and Young Master Xu to go to that Changliu Mountain to borrow demons?"

Slightly widening her eyes, Yang Liushi's expression was a little surprised.

Wei Changtian smiled softly and corrected:

"Not borrow."

"It's to notify their demon king, either help me, or die."
