The Snow Wolf King was clearly afraid.
This ti, the Shen Family ca with great montum, and it was clear that their aim was to occupy half of the Western Wilderness.
He also understood the strength of the Great Witch Mountain. If they were determined to waste ti with the Shen Family in the Western Wilderness, it would ultimately benefit no one.
Now, with that bastard Lan Jue making this demand, the Snow Wolf King believed that as long as Shen Wen’an wasn’t foolish, he would decisively abandon him and agree to it.
As for himself, if he were to betray the Great Witch Mountain and fall into the hands of the Celestial Fox Demon King, the consequences would be dire.
"Master, please kill !"
Seeing the hesitation on Shen Wen’an’s face, the Snow Wolf King steeled himself and spoke in human tongue.
He had made up his mind; even if it ant death, he could not fall into the hands of the Celestial Fox Demon King.
Otherwise, what awaited him would be a fate worse than death.
"So eager to die?"
Shen Wen’an glanced at him, then looked at Lan Jue and said, "I don’t agree to this condition."
"If Fellow Daoist Lan truly believes that the Great Witch Mountain can endure this, then let’s see."
"Shen has enough patience and ti to contend with you."
"Until the next great harvest, Shen can ensure that not many of the Great Witch Mountain’s demon cultivators will be seen on the land of the Western Wilderness."
With these words, the Snow Wolf King was taken aback, feeling a mix of emotions rising within him.
He knew very well that if it were the Great Witch Mountain, they would undoubtedly hand him over without hesitation.
Lan Jue, on the other hand, wore an unpleasant expression across from him.
"Is the Shen Family truly willing to risk countless clan mbers in a deadly battle with our Great Witch Mountain Demon Cave all to protect a traitor like this?"
"Fellow Daoist, do you know that the Great Witch Mountain has tens of millions of little demons under its rule? If we really fight to the end, even if all your Shen Clan mbers die in battle, it would only slightly deplete the Great Witch Mountain’s energy."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wen’an maintained a calm deanor.
He knew that what Lan Jue said might be true.
But the Great Witch Mountain doesn’t only have the Shen Family as an enemy. If they truly planned to fight the Shen Family to the death, Lan Jue wouldn’t have co to negotiate today, nor would he be willing to divide the territory by surrendering only the Snow Wolf King.
In essence, they were still afraid.
Their words were only ant to intimidate the Shen Family.
"Since Fellow Daoist Lan puts it that way, then there’s nothing more to discuss."
"Snow Wolf King, prepare for battle."
As soon as his words fell, the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand started to unsheath.
Beside him, the Snow Wolf King suppressed his emotions, mustering all his demon essence, baring his teeth, and glaring at Lan Jue!
He had already secretly resolved that if a fight broke out, he would make sure to fight with spirit, proving his worth to his master.
As tensions rose, Lan Jue’s eyes narrowed slightly. He gazed intensely at Shen Wen’an for a long ti before reluctantly saying, "Very well, the Shen Family is indeed impressive."
"Let the issues between our two families end here today."
"In the Southern Border, let us use the territories each side now controls as the boundary and withdraw our troops. What do you say?"
Lan Jue compromised.
Everything unfolded just as Shen Wen’an had predicted. The bloodied land of Yangnao was of great advantage to the Celestial Fox Demon King.
No matter what the chess player behind the scenes thought, the Celestial Fox Demon King didn’t want to be the first to be eliminated.
When compared to land territory, the Great Witch Mountain valued blood food more.
The Western Wilderness is vast and sparsely populated. The area taken by the Shen Family didn’t have much blood food to begin with, so there was no need to fight to the death and affect the next great harvest.
"I agree. Please, Fellow Daoist Lan, give the order."
As Shen Wen’an nodded, he exhaled a long breath of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, the Great Witch Mountain didn’t know Shen Family’s true intentions; that’s why they compromised so easily.
Now that the territory had been claid, the first step of their plan was completed. Next, they should fortify their defenses and then bring the Separation Fire Fla to the Magma Lake at Fla Lake Ridge for nurturing.
Then, they would choose suitable individuals to cultivate the "Li Palace Bing Fire Refining Form Technique." If everything proceeded smoothly, it wouldn’t take long for the Shen Family to have their own Artifact Refiner.
Lan Jue’s eyes flashed with a rich sense of reluctance, but he ultimately said nothing more, disappearing into the void!
"Caw!"
Once he flew into the high sky, his form transford into a gigantic crow the size of a hundred ters!
Its wings spread wide, covering the sky and blocking the sun!
The enormous crow’s beak, glowing with a bright blue light, opened, releasing a loud cry that echoed across the entire West Wilderness Grassland.
Throughout the grassland, the many Great Witch Mountain demon cultivators, who were engaged in battle with the Shen Family cultivators, abandoned their opponents after hearing this call, retreating towards the rear.
The many Shen Family cultivators were bewildered and were about to pursue when Shen Wenxing and Shen Chongming issued the order to cease pursuit.
They all roughly guessed that Shen Wen’an had probably reached so kind of agreent with the Great Witch Mountain.
This ant that the Great Witch Mountain had compromised.
Indeed.
It wasn’t long after the Great Witch Mountain’s demon cultivators retreated when a moon-white giant wolf rode the wind from afar.
A group of Shen Family cultivators instinctively raised their weapons, ready to fight, only to realize that there was a familiar figure on the back of the giant wolf.
"It’s the Third Master!"
Soone exclaid as the Snow Wolf King’s form landed in front of Shen Chongming.
"Third Uncle."
Shen Chongming stored the Silent Guest Spiritual Artifact in the storage bag, smiling and cupping his hands in a salute.
"Lan Jue has agreed. The Shen Family and the Great Witch Mountain will use the current areas under control as boundaries and cease fire to make peace."
"The upcoming matters will be left to you and the eldest brother. I’ll head back and inform Grandfather, then I’ll first go to take a look at Fla Lake Ridge."
After Shen Chongming nodded, he added, "Third Uncle, regarding those selected for the ’Li Palace Bing Fire Refining Form Technique,’ I have two suggestions."
