Chapter 1627: Chapter 687: Negotiating Terms

"Ugly monster, the Luoshu Mountain and River Painting was given to you by the Wanxiang City Lord for safekeeping, now I’m just returning it to its owner."

After saying this, Tang Tianqi with lightning speed, took the Luoshu Mountain River Map from her storage bag and threw it to Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue was stunned, clearly not expecting Tang Tianqi to take such an action.

"Haha, the Senluo Ghost Fruit King is within the Luoshu Mountain River Painting, Demon Clan, if you want to seize the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, go ask her."

Tang Tianqi couldn’t help but feel proud of her cleverness.

Sure enough, as soon as she said it, the Golden Horned Demon King and the Black Evil Bat General, who originally had their eyes on Tang Tianqi, immediately turned their gaze to the painting in Ye Lingyue’s hands.

The Senluo Ghost Fruit King was sealed in the painting?

The Golden Horned Demon King scrutinized the Luoshu Mountain River Painting, it looked ordinary, but there was a faint flow of spiritual energy seeping out, clearly not an ordinary painting, it seemed to be a spiritual artifact refined by a Human Clan alchemist.

If the Senluo Ghost Fruit King was sealed inside, that wouldn’t be impossible.

The Golden Horned Demon King was about to change his target and besiege another Human Clan woman.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue looked at the painting and suddenly raised it high with her left hand.

"No one is allowed to move, or I’ll destroy it."

After saying this, a grayish fire rose on Ye Lingyue’s right hand.

"Human Clan alchemist? Lifebound Strange Fire?"

"Indeed, I presume the Demon King doesn’t want to experience the taste of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King being roasted by fire, right? Make them all stop!"

Ye Lingyue glanced at the approaching demon soldiers.

The Golden Horned Demon King frowned, unsure if the Senluo Ghost Fruit King feared strange fire, if destroyed, it would not be worth the loss.

"Stop!"

With the Demon King’s order, the fierce battle between the Demon Clan and the Demon Hunters came to a halt, as they exchanged glances, puzzled, looking towards Ye Lingyue and the Golden Horn Rhinoceros King.

"You certainly have some courage, much stronger than the earlier one. As long as you hand over the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, I’ll spare your life."

The Jin Family Rhinoceros King somewhat admired the courage of this Human Clan female Demon Hunter.

"Sparing just me is not enough, you must spare the lives of all my team members, then I’ll hand over the painting."

Ye Lingyue said, as Tang Tianqi burst out cursing.

"Ugly monster, how dare you hand over the painting, aren’t you afraid of failing the mission and getting blamed by the Jiu Provinces Alliance, leaving the Huangquan Team in trouble!"

Ye Lingyue sneered inside, at such a time, who cares about missions, what could be more important than lives?

All she wanted was her team members to be unharmed.

With the Demon King present and the thin line between life and death, escaping relied entirely on one’s ability.

The Golden Horn Demon King hesitated, Ye Lingyue noticed his indecision and moved the strange fire closer to the Luoshu Mountain River Painting, almost lighting one corner of the painting.

"Wait, I agree, but only for your people."

The Jin Family’s Demon King agreed, he also saw that Ye Lingyue and Tang Tianqi were clearly not on the same side.

"Alright, Huangquan Team, listen up, evacuate Lion Roar Hill immediately."

Ye Lingyue ordered.

The Huangquan Team was stunned, no one moved.

"Listen to me, leave immediately."

Ye Lingyue shouted, Tang Tiansong and Bo Qing exchanged complex glances, but still, under Ye Lingyue’s pressure, began to evacuate with a few lightly injured members.

Guangzi glanced at Qin Xiaochuan.

Ye Lingyue then pointed at Qin Xiaochuan.

"He’s also one of mine, let him go too."

The Golden Horn Demon King snorted coldly, and a few demon soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to release Qin Xiaochuan.

Guangzi helped Qin Xiaochuan up, and Ye Lingyue gave them a look.

Only then did they slowly follow Bo Qing and the others out.

In a short while, the Huangquan Team had completely left, which left the members of the other two teams anxious.

Especially Tang Tianqi, she almost slapped herself hard in the face.

If she had known it could be done like this, she wouldn’t have handed over the Luoshu Mountain River Painting to Ye Lingyue in her earlier negotiations with the Golden Horn Demon King.

But how could Tang Tianqi have known that negotiating with the Golden Horn Demon King required not just wisdom, but also daring.

Otherwise, facing an extremely strong opponent like the Golden Horn Demon King, with just one glare and a wave of demonic power, let alone negotiating, an ordinary person would probably be scared witless.

"Captain Ye, quickly tell him to let us go too, we can cooperate."

The Third Young Master Jin hurriedly said.

"What does that have to do with me? Whether you can escape or not depends on your abilities."

Ye Lingyue chuckled, almost infuriating the members of the Tang Family and Jin Family teams.

"Have you had enough chit-chat? I’ve let your people go, now hand over the painting in your hand. Are you planning to go back on your word?"

The Golden Horn Demon King said impatiently.

Under him, rarely were there any living captives, especially Human Clan Demon Hunters. Today, because of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, one team had escaped, which was already his limit.

The Golden Horn Demon King thought of the demon soldiers’ corpses scattered all over the hillside, full of broken limbs, and felt ruthless; once he acquired the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, he planned to tear these Human Clan members to shreds, especially this audacious female Demon Hunter in front of him who repeatedly threatened him.

"Fear not, Demon King, I am a trustworthy person, my word is as good as gold."

Ye Lingyue said innocently, her eyes sincere like those of a devout believer.

Seeing her say this, Xi Jiuye’s mouth twitched slightly.

Hong Mingyue and Yue Mubai both secretly scoffed.

Shameless!

But at this moment, no one was willing to expose Ye Lingyue’s deceit, because they all saw, Ye Lingyue genuinely withdrew the strange fire and was handing the Luoshu Mountain River Painting to the Golden Horn Demon King.

This woman, is she insane?

Once the Luoshu Mountain River Painting is handed over, she will certainly be doomed.

Xi Jiuye’s posture tensed slightly, ready to spring into action; as soon as Ye Lingyue handed over the painting, he was ready to seize it immediately.

The Golden Horn Demon King was also closely eyeing the painting, ready to kill Ye Lingyue as soon as it was in his hands.

"Catch!"

Ye Lingyue said as she was about to release the painting.

But just at the moment she let go of the Luoshu Mountain River Painting, in her palm, Black Cauldron Breath tore open the seal of the Luoshu Mountain River Painting.

From the Luoshu Mountain River Painting, a column of black air surged out, the painting fell to the ground, breaking in half.

"Damn you, how dare you deceive me!"

The Golden Horn Demon King, seeing that he had been tricked, shouted angrily, transforming into a wave of demonic power, rushing at Ye Lingyue.

An astounding Evil Qi appeared out of thin air.

A terrifying demon, emerged from the painting.

It rapidly grew from small to large, transforming into a massive and terrifying living spirit, with a devilish fruit hanging at its summit.

"Senluo Ghost Fruit King!"

Everyone, Demon Clan or Demon Hunters, gasped in shock.
