In the central square of Tianque Realm, the tense atmosphere almost solidified into a physical entity.

The Immortal Qinglian was like an insurmountable peak, his cold eyes sweeping over everyone present.

His presence is like a silent monument, which makes people feel awe involuntarily.

The demon race and the human race have been hostile to each other since ancient times. The demon race regards the human race as food, while the human race regards the demon race as material for refining weapons. The hatred between the two sides is deeply rooted in their blood, and there has never been a true reconciliation.

However, faced with the threat of the demons, even such old enemies had to consider the possibility of joining forces.

The leaders of the demon clan did not immediately respond to Qinglian Immortal's proposal. There was a flicker of vigilance and distrust in their eyes.

The Lord of Yaoying, dressed in a light fur coat and loose belt, was the first to step forward and questioned, "Immortal Venerable, while your words make sense, our demon race and the Immortal Sect have never truly joined forces since ancient times. How can we be sure that this cooperation isn't another scheme by the Immortal Sect?"

His words resonated with the demon clan, and many demon kings began to nod, their eyes filled with anger and distrust.

King Zebei even raised his doubts directly: "The human race captured us to refine weapons, and we ate them to cultivate. How can we let go of such hatred?"

On the side of the Immortal Sect, the expressions of some elders and family heads turned ugly. They knew that the questions raised by the demon clan were facts, but they were not willing to give in easily.

An elderly man in a white robe stepped out with steady steps. He was a highly respected elder of the Xingchen Sect. His voice was like a bell, deep and firm: "Past losses are like water flowing eastward, irreversible. But now, we face a common enemy. In this moment of life and death, we must put aside past hatreds and unite as closely as steel."

Although his words were sincere, the demon clan did not take them seriously.

The corners of King Zebei's mouth rose slightly, outlining an extremely cold smile. This smile seemed like frost condensed in the cold night, emitting a chilling chill.

His silver-gray pupils were as cold as ice as he stared ahead. He spoke slowly, "Unity? Ha, that's a phrase the human race often talks about. To us, these words are like wind on the ears, meaningless. Although you often call for unity, few truly practice it. So, how can we believe that this so-called unity is just another empty talk?"

At this moment, the burly Lord of Ogi stood up steadily. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, his face was as firm as iron, and he exuded an awe-inspiring aura of majesty.

At this moment, his face was gloomy, as if burning with rage, his eyes wide open, staring closely at the elder who was about to speak, and ruthlessly waved his hand to interrupt the other party's words.

"We are already familiar with all the promises made by you humans! However, which promise has been truly fulfilled?" The Lord of Di Kong's voice was like a loud bell, echoing throughout the entire barrier, deafening.

Without giving the other party a chance to speak, he continued in a deep voice, "You keep saying that you want to guard the abyss and refuse any demons from going there to guard it, but a dignified Grandmaster neglects his duties and allows the demons to invade."

At this point, Lord Di Kong's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and he continued, "What's even more intolerable is that even the Immortal Sect was completely unaware of the demons' quiet infiltration into the Cangwu Secret Realm!"

"It turned out that the demon race discovered the abnormality before you did. After the demon race had wreaked havoc in the secret realm, the immortal sect learned about it. How ridiculous!"

"Such an incompetent immortal sect, such a trustless human race, how can we trust you again?"

The elder's face instantly darkened like a dark cloud covering a city. He knew full well that this was an oversight by the Immortal Sect, but he remained as resolute as a rock and said, "This is just an isolated incident, a drop in the ocean, and cannot represent the entire Immortal Sect's position."

"Individual cases?" A gleam of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Qionghua Island. "These individual cases are enough to prove the problem. The human race is already like a worm-eaten tree, riddled with holes. How can we trust you to uphold the promise of the alliance?"

The elder took a deep breath. He knew this was a critical moment and he had to make concessions.

"If this cooperation is achieved, the Xingchen Sect is willing to provide the demon race with more guarantees in terms of resource allocation and territory division."

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of several demon kings, but King Chongming remained unmoved and said, "This is not enough. The demon race must be given more protection, otherwise we cannot trust you."

The elder's face became even uglier. He knew that this was a difficult choice, but he also knew that if the demands of the demon clan were not met, the alliance could not be established.

"Just because the Immortal Sect is willing to make further concessions doesn't mean you can have whatever you want."

At this time, a hall master of the Bishui Sect stood up, his voice tinged with coldness: "You ask us to provide protection, but how can you guarantee that you won't betray us? If the demons enter the four states, how can we guarantee the safety of our disciples? How can we ensure that the demons won't attack the human race?"

This question caused the demon leaders to fall silent. The answer to this question was not easy to give.

The King of Chongqiu in the west stood up, a pair of broad wings fluttering slowly behind him. His voice was full of magnetism: "The demons who have entered the Four Provinces are willing to swear in the name of our emperor that as long as the human race abides by the alliance agreement, the demons will not attack the human race."

This promise made the elders of the Immortal Sect fall into deep thought. Everyone knew what the title of Demon King meant to the demon race.

This is an important concession and a possible start.

The leaders of both sides argued endlessly in the square, each trying to gain the greatest benefits for his own ethnic group.

Finally, after a long discussion and argument, the atmosphere in the square began to ease.

The human race began to propose some specific cooperation plans, and they promised to give the demon race more guarantees in resource allocation and territory division.

The demon kings also began to show some willingness to cooperate. They knew that if the nest is overturned, the eggs will be broken. If they did not join forces to fight against the demons, the demon race would be destroyed at a stroke.

In this atmosphere, the discussion in the square gradually turned to the specific details of cooperation. The leaders of both sides began to discuss how to allocate resources, how to divide territories, and how to ensure the interests of both sides in the future power structure.

Although there are still differences, both sides have begun to show some sincerity in cooperation.

The Immortal Qinglian stood there quietly, his eyes sweeping across the faces of the leaders of both sides. This was a critical moment, a critical moment that would determine the fate of the two tribes.

Immortal Qinglian's gaze finally settled on the faces of King Fufeng and King Chongming. His voice was steady and decisive, "I understand your concerns. But we must recognize that the threat posed by the demons is imminent. If the two races can put aside their past grudges and join forces to resist this enemy, I firmly believe both sides will benefit."

There was a flicker of hesitation in King Fufeng's eyes. He knew that what Immortal Qinglian said was true.

He responded in a deep voice, "We understand your point, but how can we be sure? If we swear to stop eating people when we enter the Four Provinces, will the Four Provinces become a trap?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Master Jiyun stepped forward, his voice carrying a hint of unquestionable majesty: "King Fufeng, the Immortal Sect is willing to provide specific safeguards. Both parties can sign a contract to ensure the safety of the demon race in the four states."

At this time, the leaders of the demon clan gathered together and whispered to each other in low voices. They discussed with serious expressions the suggestions that the immortal sect had just put forward.

After a long time, King Chongming, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. I don’t know what she said. The other demon kings were all surprised, and then nodded one by one and kept silent.

Then, King Chongming raised his head, looked at the Immortal Qinglian with a determined gaze, and said loudly: "Immortal Qinglian, my fellow demons are willing to work together with the human race to overcome this difficult time!"

Hearing this, Qinglian Immortal Master nodded, and a faint smile slowly appeared on his face.

As the attitudes of the leaders of both sides gradually converged, the originally tense and depressing atmosphere in the square began to ease.

Immediately afterwards, representatives from the immortal sects and the demon clan sat together and began to have a more detailed and meticulous discussion on this cooperation.

Among them, the specific clauses involved are numerous and complex, including not only the issue of how to reasonably allocate resources, but also how to clearly divide each territory.

At the same time, in order to ensure that cooperation can proceed smoothly and achieve practical results, it is also necessary to establish an effective supervision mechanism.

In addition, arrangements for regular meetings to communicate, coordinate actions, etc. are also one of the key points of discussion between the two ethnic groups.

Thus, for several days, representatives from both sides engaged in intense debate and repeated negotiations over various details, a process characterized by both insistence and compromise.

Finally, hard work pays off. After many twists and turns, a heavy agreement was successfully drafted.

This landmark agreement was named the "Tianque Covenant", which clearly stipulated in great detail the specific cooperation model, responsibilities and obligations that each party should bear, and many other key issues in the future battles between the immortal sect and the demon clan to resist the massive invasion of the demon clan.
