As Zu Wu Zhu Rong spoke, all present were instantly solemn, knowing that this great battle, in the end, would be unavoidable.
Instantly, the five factions stood ready, prepared to charge forward.
The demon race also turned pale, their hands and feet trembling, awaiting the start of the battle.
And the assembled great powers who were watching, now fell silent, observing quietly.
Just as the battle was on the verge of breaking out, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait! I have something to say!"
The beings present followed the sound and saw a figure with a snake's head and human body flying out. It was Nu Wa, with Fu Xi closely following behind her.
Nu Wa and Fu Xi flew directly before Xu Fang. After bowing to Xu Fang, Nu Wa spoke first.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, this matter originated from Penglai Immortal Island. The demon race sought to seize Penglai Immortal Island and thus brought this calamity upon themselves. We have nothing to say; it can only be said that the demon race brought about their own destruction."
"However, as fellow members of the demon race, my brother and I cannot bear to see the demon race in peril and offer no help. We implore Fellow Daoist Xu Fang to show mercy and spare the demon race this once."
Nu Wa pleaded with Xu Fang. As a fellow Daoist, she did not want to see anything happen to Xu Fang and had prepared to intervene and save Xu Fang at a critical moment.
As a member of the demon race, she also did not wish to see the demon race suffer heavy losses in this meaningless battle. At this moment, she steelied herself and pleaded with Xu Fang.
Currently, the five factions were all here for Xu Fang. For the demon race to retreat unscathed, only Xu Fang could make it happen.
After Nu Wa's words fell, Fu Xi followed closely, also pleading.
"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, we know this is an unreasonable request, but we implore Fellow Daoist Xu Fang to show leniency."
"In the future, we will certainly restrain the demon race and prevent them from becoming enemies with Fellow Daoist Xu Fang and engaging in such wicked deeds!"
Nu Wa and Fu Xi spoke one after another, both with sincere attitudes and heartfelt words, hoping that Xu Fang would spare the demon race.
There was no other way. Although they disapproved of the demon race's actions this time, with the five factions now watching menacingly and the battle on the verge of breaking out, they couldn't simply watch the demon race fall into a desperate struggle.
"This..."
This was something completely unexpected. The beings present were all astonished and unsure how to react.
They never imagined that at this critical juncture, Nu Wa and Fu Xi would step forward to intercede for the demon race.
However, thinking about it, even though the demon race had not heeded Nu Wa and Fu Xi's order to cease hostilities earlier, they were still of the demon race. It was truly unbearable for Nu Wa and Fu Xi to watch so many of their kin die before their eyes.
But, if your demon race wants to fight, then fight, and if you want peace, then make peace, is it that easy?
Just now, they aggressively moved to seize someone else's dojo and home, and now they find they cannot win and are begging for peace and a dignified exit. Do they really think Xu Fang is so good-tempered? Only a fool would agree to the demon race's request!
"Alright! I agree!"
A voice rang out, immediately shocking all present, making them doubt if they had heard correctly.
"What's going on! Did Xu Fang just agree?"
"Did I hear wrong? Or did everyone hear wrong? Did Xu Fang really agree?"
"Are you kidding me? All this fanfare, and in the end, no fighting?"
The great powers were incredulous. How could Xu Fang actually agree to Nu Wa and Fu Xi's request?
Xu Fang's helpers were also quite confused and spoke up one after another.
"Senior, did you forget to say 'no'? Please correct yourself quickly!"
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, the advantage is on our side now. Don't be afraid!"
"I suggest Fellow Daoist Xu Fang calm down and don't rush. We have plenty of time!"
Everyone couldn't believe that Xu Fang had simply agreed to Nu Wa and Fu Xi's request and agreed to spare the demon race.
Seeing this, Xu Fang quickly flew up and said loudly.
"I am very calm right now. I did not say the wrong thing. I agree to the request of Fellow Daoist Nu Wa and Fellow Daoist Fu Xi to spare the demon race."
Xu Fang was very calm. Even if Nu Wa and Fu Xi hadn't pleaded, he wouldn't have pursued the demon race to the death. That was something the demon race would do.
Xu Fang was well aware that even if he relentlessly pursued the demon race, at most, he would inflict heavy losses on them here.
As for destined sons of heaven like Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi, they would naturally not perish just like that. The demon race, as the focus of the calamity, would naturally not be exterminated just like this.
In this way, after they escaped back to the demon race, they would certainly not let this matter rest.
When they once again raised an army, it wouldn't always be the case that these five armies would come to support him. He would then have to face the endless harassment of the demon race.
Thus, it would be impossible to solve this problem once and for all.
Fortunately, the advantage was now on his side, and he still had the capital to set conditions.
"I can spare the demon race, but I don't know if the demon race will spare me. After all, who wouldn't covet a place like Penglai Immortal Island, especially a powerful force like the demon race!"
As Xu Fang said these words, his gaze fell on Di Jun with a meaningful look.
Upon hearing Xu Fang's words, Di Jun immediately understood Xu Fang's intentions and spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, rest assured. If you can spare us this once, we will never again covet Penglai Immortal Island. Tai Yi, do not speak, be quiet!"
As Di Jun spoke, he turned and directly kicked Dong Huang Tai Yi back. Already, demons had stepped forward to restrain the Demon Emperor who was about to rush out and fight to the death.
Seeing this, Di Jun quickly continued.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, if you are still worried, I can make an oath, a high-level one."
As Di Jun spoke, he immediately raised his palm to the sky and made an oath.
"I, Di Jun, as the Emperor of the Demon Race, hereby make a Heavenly Dao oath. If Fellow Daoist Xu Fang spares my demon race, from this day forward, the demon race will no longer plot against Penglai Immortal Island!"
Di Jun was troubled about how to make a dignified exit. Upon hearing Xu Fang's words at this moment, he was overjoyed.
Not only did he readily agree, but he was also afraid that Xu Fang would go back on his word, and he busied himself in making the Heavenly Dao oath.
Under the rumbling thunder, the Heavenly Dao oath was quickly established.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, how do you find the sincerity of our demon race?"
After Di Jun finished his oath, he cautiously asked.
"This..."
The assembled great powers looked at the cautious Di Jun, who was trying to appease Xu Fang, and did not know what to say.
Everyone had not yet reacted, and Di Jun had already surrendered. This was too fast!
He was, after all, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race. How could he admit defeat so quickly? What happened to the unstoppable might of the demon race?
A staunch Great Demon Emperor, bowing with a Heavenly Dao oath?
What they did not know was that Di Jun's only thought at this moment was to quickly leave Penglai Immortal Island and get as far away from Xu Fang as possible.
Xu Fang was so strange, and his social circle was so powerful. Who would want to plot against Penglai Immortal Island again!
If he didn't seize this opportunity to retreat unscathed now, he might as well die here.
This cursed Penglai Immortal Island, whoever wants it can have it. He never wants to come back again!
