Divine Seal: I, Bai Lingxuan, forcibly married the Demon God Emperor.

Chapter 96 I Voluntarily Resign from the Position of Priest and Temple Master

"I disagree."

Bai Lingxuan sat pale-faced in the main seat of the conference room in the main hall of the pastor's temple, her gentle face showing signs of fatigue.

"I know you're doing this for everyone's sake, but I can't accept a ceasefire..."

Bai Lingxuan's voice was somewhat hoarse, "Of course I know that fighting will result in loss of life and will have an impact on Zhennan Pass, but continuing to fight is the only way we can resolve this matter."

"We will use our lives to stop the Demon Emperor Fengxiu from getting what he wants."

"But have you thought about it? Can we really stop the attack of the three great demon gods of the sun, moon and stars? The three of them together have more than two million spiritual power. We really don't have that capability. It's unnecessary to risk all of humanity's resources to fight them."

The speaker was Yang Haohan, the leader of the Temple Alliance.

Because they were holding a full-fledged conference.

“Unless your son-in-law intervenes, no one can stand up to the three of them working together. In this situation, we cannot take the risk. However, we can afford to offer ten spots at Dream Paradise.”

They didn't want to agree to the Demon Emperor Fengxiu's conditions, but reality was too cruel.

They had no choice but to agree to the Demon Emperor Fengxiu's conditions.

This is the cruel reality.

For the sake of humanity's future, they had no choice but to compromise, no matter how unwilling they were.

Their opinions are utterly useless in the face of absolute power.

“Bai Lingxuan, as the priest and temple master, your decision is correct. But we can’t afford to gamble anymore.”

They could certainly understand Bai Lingxuan's feelings.

Demon God Emperor Fengxiu had never coveted the Dream Paradise of the human race in Zhennan Pass. Now, he suddenly wants to let the demons enter the Dream Paradise, so his purpose is not simple.

"Why can't we afford to gamble? As long as we launch a holy war and disagree with the demons' conditions this time, we have hope."

Bai Lingxuan's eyes were filled with endless sorrow. "The fact that he was willing to start a war to enter Dream Paradise means that Dream Paradise has something he wants."

"Old Yang, do you think that Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu will let the human race go once he gets what he wants? That's impossible."

"Rather than being forced to agree to this so that Demon Emperor Fengxiu can get what he wants, it would be better to launch a holy war and fight the demons to the death."

Bai Lingxuan's tone was firm, and her beautiful eyes burned with fire.

That was the flames of an unyielding war.

She was unwilling to agree to the conditions of Demon Emperor Fengxiu.

Elder Ling sighed helplessly, “Lingxuan, I know you’re not feeling well. But you must understand that if we agree to the conditions set by Demon Emperor Fengxiu, the human race still has a glimmer of hope.”

"Who can defeat the three pillar demon gods of the sun, moon, and stars? It's not worth acting on loyalty."

"Moreover, even if the demons want to enter Dream Paradise, they can only send people below the seventh rank."

"Anyone whose spiritual power exceeds the seventh level will be eliminated under the rules of Dream Paradise."

"Even if Demon Emperor Feng Xiu has ulterior motives, they may not be able to get what they want in Dream Paradise. Dream Paradise is something our human race has explored for thousands of years. This is the first time their demon race has entered it, so they will naturally be subject to the rules."

It was Elder Ling who said this.

He had been to Dream Paradise and was most familiar with its rules.

Moreover, there are dedicated guardians within Dream Paradise.

With the guardians of Dream Paradise around, even if Demon Emperor Feng Xiu has wicked intentions, he cannot touch the very foundation of Dream Paradise.

Bai Lingxuan lowered her eyes and spoke again: "So, you've decided to cease hostilities and agree to Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu's conditions?"

Bai Lingxuan felt a sharp pain in her heart.

What has she been persisting for all these years?
Why has reality always been so cruel throughout history?

Bai Lingxuan really wanted to cry, but the sadness in her heart was too great, and she couldn't even cry.

"Moreover, we have a detailed map of Dream Paradise. With such a head start, we will absolutely not let the demons get what they want."

Hearing their conversation, Bai Lingxuan fell silent.

Many words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't say them. Bai Lingxuan bit her lip and said, "What if none of us stop Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu from obtaining that thing?"

"..."

Bai Lingxuan's words plunged the atmosphere into a deathly silence.

Yes, they couldn't have foreseen this consequence.

"We couldn't have foreseen this outcome, so should we really offer the spot in Dream Paradise to the demons?"

"I can't understand it."

Bai Lingxuan truly couldn't accept this realization.

"It's against the rules to bring the younger generation over."

Bai Lingxuan's gaze fell on Bai Haochen and Sheng Cai'er.

She hadn't expected them to show up in this conference room.

"grandmother……"

Bai Haochen and Sheng Cai'er walked over together.

They hadn't expected the atmosphere to be so tense.

"What the hell happened?"

Why did you call them here to sit in on the proceedings?

Bai Lingxuan looked at them with a complicated expression.

She didn't want to involve any more people.

Bai Haochen is her grandson, but he is also the grandson of Demon God Emperor Fengxiu and the heir of the Demon Clan.

The blood of the demon race flows through his veins.

Han Qian said, "Lingxuan, Haochen is not only your grandson, but also the leader of a general-level demon hunter team, and the only candidate for the next temple master of our Knight Temple. You know how outstanding he is. As long as he lives, he can only be the next temple master of the Knight Temple."

Han Qian was also aware of Bai Haochen's talent for cultivation.

Even if there are grudges between them, Bai Haochen's talent is beyond question.

"Not only is Bai Haochen the only candidate for the Knights Temple, but the young lady Cai'er beside him is also the only candidate for the next Temple Master of our Assassins Temple. Because she used forbidden abilities during the previous Demon Hunter mission, she has temporarily lost her six senses and it is inconvenient for her to bow to everyone."

Hearing their words, Bai Haochen and Sheng Cai'er listened attentively.

It's so weird.

"Agreeing to the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu's conditions will only put our human race in danger."

Bai Lingxuan spoke again, "I do not agree with his conditions."

“If you insist on agreeing to the conditions of Demon God Emperor Fengxiu, then I, Bai Lingxuan, will relinquish my position as the Priest Temple Master and let you make the decision.”

Bai Lingxuan knew that their minds were no longer swayed.

She really did her best.

"No one can be sure that their decision is right."

"However, what we can be sure of is that we will not regret the decision we made at this moment."

"Lingxuan, you are the most suitable candidate for the position of Priest Temple Master. You must not act willfully."

"..."

Bai Lingxuan fell silent again.

"No regrets...?"

A sadness flashed in Bai Lingxuan's eyes. "Elder Ling, I'm not being willful. I'm serious. I don't believe I'm fit to be the head priest of the temple."

“I voluntarily relinquish my position as the Temple Master of the Priest Temple and let Ling Xiao take over the position. His cultivation has reached the ninth level, making him the most suitable candidate besides my junior sister Ruoshui.”
