Junior sister took first place again

After the signing of the Tianque Alliance, the atmosphere along the border between the two tribes underwent a subtle shift. Although the long-standing hostility did not completely dissipate overnight, the tense atmosphere did ease somewhat.

In the early days when the level was just opened, the first group of demons who openly revealed their demon characteristics and stepped into the four states no longer encountered overwhelming sharp blades and greedy eyes looking at their fur and flesh.

Although there were scrutinizing and probing gazes everywhere, the scene was completely different from previous encounters with humans.

The former hostility and suspicion have been replaced by a common threat, and both sides are trying to trust each other to resist the invasion of the demons.

However, this peaceful appearance was soon broken.

Although both the human race and the demon race understand the necessity of cooperation, thousands of years of hatred and distrust cannot be easily resolved by a piece of paper.

After the first few days, as the number of people entering both sides increased, the opening of the border did not immediately bring peace, but instead triggered a series of conflicts and fights.

At the junction of Youzhou and Qingzhou, in the territory of King Yaoying, this is one of the places where the human race and the demon race exchange resources with each other according to the Tianque Alliance.

The valley was shrouded in mist in the early morning. The Xingyao stood on a messy slope of spiritual plants, with a flash of anger in his eyes.

It found the human leader of this visit, a middle-aged man in fine clothes, and said angrily, "The spiritual herbs you've picked have exceeded the provisions of the covenant! Besides, who allowed you to destroy this place?"

The middle-aged man simply sneered, his eyes revealing transcendent confidence: "Covenant? It's just a piece of paper."

These words pierced the apricot demon's heart like a sharp blade. He felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. The dignity of the demon race had been ruthlessly trampled upon. He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms, and a flame of anger burned in his chest.

"Can't you tell which sect this Immortal Lord belongs to? Given our sect's status in the Four States, I'm here because I respect you."

"Even your king would be polite when meeting our sect leader, let alone meeting the Immortal Azure Lotus."

The steward said this while bowing and glancing at Xing Yao with an arrogant look.

As a member of the Xuanling Sect, what he said was indeed not an exaggeration. However, his style of doing things was even more arrogant than that of his direct disciples such as Ning Jiasheng.

But as soon as one looked at his jade slip, anyone familiar with Xuanling Sect could recognize that it was the style for an outer sect disciple.

Although this middle-aged man was only a manager of the outer sect of Xuanling Sect, at this moment, the two tribes were in a critical period of cooperation, yet he dared to openly run to the territory of the demon tribe to show off his power.

"The Immortal Venerable Qinglian and the Immortal Venerable Jiyun are both men of high moral character. I never thought that your Xuanling Sect would have such a shameless person like you. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of the Heavenly Fathers and eliminate this scum like you on behalf of the two Immortal Venerables, thus rectifying the reputation of your sect!"

With this furious shout, the vigorous young warrior of the Xingyao tribe rushed towards the steward like an arrow from a bow. In an instant, a thrilling battle began.

At this moment, the valley was filled with the intertwining roar of spells and the deafening roar of demonic energy. In a flash, the troops and horses of both sides engaged in a desperate battle in the valley. For a moment, blood splattered everywhere, staining the once lush ground red.

Just as the fierce battle between the two sides was becoming increasingly fierce and difficult to resolve, a snow-white figure appeared quietly in the center of the battlefield like a ghost.

The person who came was actually Xue You. Everyone looked closely and saw that spiritual power was surging around him, forming a transparent shield that forcibly separated the two sides.

All I heard was a loud shout: "Stop it!" The sound exploded in the air like thunder, making the ears of the people present buzz.

However, the manager turned a deaf ear to Xue You's scolding. Not only that, his face showed full disdain, and he even laughed at Xue You wantonly, not taking Xue You's warning seriously at all.

Seeing this man's arrogant attitude, an extremely cold light suddenly flashed in Xue You's eyes.

In an instant, its figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, as if it had never appeared. And the next moment, Xue You appeared in front of the steward like a ghost.

At the same time, Xue You suddenly grasped a beautiful, dreamlike sword, gleaming with a faint blue light. This sword, transformed by the power of the orchid, emanated a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Before everyone could react, Xue You waved his arm, and the sharp sword transformed from the orchid flashed through the air like lightning.

The sword flashed and disappeared, and then the head of the human leader rolled to the ground, and a stream of scarlet blood spurted out from his neck, splashing on the ground around him.

This sudden change was so shocking that everyone was so frightened that they stood there in a daze. For a moment, they even forgot to continue fighting, and the entire battlefield fell into a strange state of stagnation.

Xue You put away his sword, looked straight at everyone, and said coldly: "In today's incident, you broke the rules first, and my demon clan made mistakes later. Now is a critical moment for the cooperation between the two clans. If you make a mistake, you should be punished. I have sent a message to the leader of the Yu Jiyun clan to explain this matter. Whatever the demon clan does, I will take full responsibility.

"And how could you be so bold as to disregard the covenant? I believe that Sect Master Jiyun will investigate the truth."

"Now, take him and get out of here!"

After Xue You finished speaking, the remaining humans looked at this side with anger and fear, took the body of the manager, and left in a hurry.

Xue You stood with his hands behind his back and watched for a moment before turning to look at Xing Yao. "Go and take care of those injured little demons. I have important matters to attend to with the king. You don't have to see me off."

After Xue You finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.

Similar things happened on the human territory, and various armed conflicts between the two races continued to occur.

In the vast Dongzhou fishing grounds, the East China Sea monsters began to gradually set foot in this territory that originally belonged to the human race.

With their powerful demonic powers and agility, they quickly occupied the hunting grounds.

This behavior naturally caused strong dissatisfaction among the human fishermen, and the friction between the two sides continued to escalate. Eventually, the dispute over the fishing area spread to the immortal sect and the demon clan.

Youzhou borders the three neighboring states of Zhong, Xi and Qing, and has many precious mineral veins and mysterious treasures.

These resources are undoubtedly of great attraction to all parties.

In the past, when the border was under martial law, both sides did not interfere with each other in their respective areas.

The disciples of the immortal sect use these resources to improve their own cultivation and create more powerful magic weapons; while the Youzhou demon tribe regards them as the foundation of their survival and development, and will never allow others to easily interfere.

Now that the two tribes have been connected, the Immortal Sect and the Youzhou Demon Tribe have engaged in several fruitless battles with no clear right or wrong over key issues such as resource allocation and usage qualifications.

Each side employed its own tactics, refusing to yield. Though the causes of these conflicts varied, they ultimately revealed a common problem: the greed of the human race and the impulsiveness of the demon race. Even bound by an ancient alliance, both sides could hardly contain their inner desires and anger, repeatedly provoking conflicts and plunging several border areas into chaos.

Just as the conflict between humans and demons continued to escalate, even more terrifying news arrived—the demons launched a massive attack.

This news was like a bucket of cold water, instantly stagnating the battle between humans and demons. The threat posed by the demons far outweighed the grudges between humans and demons. Their power and cruelty were a nightmare for the entire world.

The leaders of the human and demon races quickly convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. They realized that without unity, the entire Tianque Realm would face catastrophic destruction. Therefore, both sides decided to temporarily put aside their grievances and jointly face the demon threat.

In the valley of King Yaoying, the price of peace was stained red with blood. In the human territory, countless fights left deep scars.

Although these incidents were eventually brought under control, they left a deep rift between the human and demon races. Leaders on both sides knew that if these conflicts were not properly handled, the alliance might break down in practice, leading to a return to hostility between the two sides.

Therefore, the leaders of both sides began to strengthen communication and try to find ways to resolve conflicts in order to ensure the stability of the alliance and peaceful coexistence between the two sides.

This incident has also become a warning, reminding all humans and demons that true peace and cooperation require joint efforts and mutual respect from both sides.

Greed and arrogance on either side could lead to a breakdown of this fragile peace, with disastrous consequences.

After successfully resolving the fierce conflict in the valley, Xue You did not dare to delay for a moment and galloped non-stop towards the palace where King Yaoying was.

The King of Yaoying is a male peony flower demon with noble status and extremely obvious sexual characteristics.

With his unparalleled majesty and unfathomable power, he firmly controls the plant-based monsters in the world.

King Yaoying's magnificent palace is like a dreamlike wonderland of flowers, and the air is filled with the rich and intoxicating fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The palace was dotted with gorgeous flowers, each one seemingly alive, swaying gently. Their petals shone with brilliant light, like fallen stars, a breathtaking sight.

Xue You was filled with awe when he entered the palace. He respectfully approached King Yao Ying and reported everything that had happened in the valley to the demon king.

Lord Yaoying listened quietly to Xue You's narration, and in those eyes as deep as a pool of water, there was a calmness as still as water.

King Yaoying knew very well that this incident was by no means an isolated case. Even if an alliance was signed, there would still be many people in the four states who shared the same idea as the manager.

It is not only a severe challenge to the dignity of the demon race, but is also likely to trigger unprecedented disputes and wars between the two races. Therefore, such a situation must not be allowed to happen again.

"Xueyou, you handled this incident very well." King Yaoying's voice was deep and powerful, imbued with immense power and majesty. "However, we absolutely cannot tolerate such an incident happening again."

"The demon race must make it clear to the humans that we will never be bullied! At the same time, we must also make them deeply understand that cooperation should be based on equal respect, not unilateral orders from them. Only in this way can we prevent the humans from stabbing us in the back."

"Your Majesty is absolutely right."

Xue You said, "It is precisely because they are from the Xuanling Sect that I can act so decisively. Immortal Venerable Qinglian and Immortal Venerable Jiyun are both reasonable people. There must be something wrong with that manager."

"This is the Xuanling Sect's internal affair, and it's not convenient for us to interfere. However, I am doing this so that after Sect Master Jiyun has investigated and expressed his stance, we can deter the other sects. No matter what they think, they won't dare to openly embarrass the demon race."

"Otherwise, my people are often hot-tempered. If this kind of thing happens all the time, I don't know how many lives would be lost in vain in the four states."

King Yaoying nodded slightly and resolutely decided to contact several demon kings and start a dialogue with the people of Xuanling Sect, vowing to resolve this conflict completely.

This not only concerns his personal interests, but also the future direction of the entire demon race.

In the magnificent palace of Lord Yaoying, representatives of the Xuanling Sect were invited by King Yaoying to attend an emergency online meeting.

King Yaoying, with a solemn demeanor like Mount Tai, explained the demon clan's position and demands to the two peak masters, Feiyun and Lihuan.

"The demon race is willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with the human race to jointly resist the threat of the demon race." King Yaoying's voice reverberated through the palace like a bell. "But we will not tolerate any disrespect or greed towards the demon race. This incident must be handled fairly and impartially, otherwise, our cooperation will be unsustainable."

Feiyun unfolded the folding fan in his hand and waved it, then exchanged a glance with Peak Master Li Huan. He said thoughtfully, "We understand what Your Majesty means. Now that the demons have taken action, the Immortal Sect's top priority is to protect the Cangwu Secret Realm and defend the northern part."

"Regarding this matter, someone from the sect will be investigating. I will write to the sect leader to inform him. We will then hold a public hearing and give you all a satisfactory answer."

Just, agreed so easily?

Several demon kings looked at the master of Feiyun Peak with some suspicion. Li Huan also gave him a puzzled look. She didn't know what this junior brother was keeping secret.

Feiyun gave her a reassuring look, then looked at the demon kings and said, "A large number of demons have appeared in northern Youzhou. Let alone fighting together, even for the sake of Youzhou's stability, we don't have much time to talk here."

"If you don't trust Qin, Xue You can go to Xuanling Sect on your own and wait for the result. You will definitely not be stopped."

Xue You simply shook her head, "That's not necessary."

Then, he turned around and bowed to King Yaoying, "Your Majesty, I would like to go to Tianque Realm to check the battle situation first."

King Yaoying waved his hand and agreed to its request, and Xueyou immediately flew to the Tianque Realm.
