About ten minutes later!
An elder of the Demon Spider clan, led by the hummingbird, arrived in the valley with utmost respect!
He didn't recognize Chen Nan!
But he knew Chen Nan had used a borrowed knife to kill Fan Qian!
This young man was not to be underestimated!
Especially seeing the majestic Peng Emperor toasting and feasting with him, it further solidified his thoughts!
"Junior Ning Zhen, subordinate to the First Prince Fan Tian of the Heavenly Demon Cave, pays his respects to the Peng Emperor!" Ning Zhen bowed to Yan Guang!
Yan Guang smiled noncommittally, "I'm not familiar with your Heavenly Demon Cave. What did that brat Fan Tian send you here for?"
Ning Zhen remained bent over, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the Peng Emperor!
Although his own strength was considerable!
He was certain!
If the Peng Emperor wished to kill him!
A single thought would suffice!
"Replying to the Peng Emperor, the First Prince sent me here to apologize to you!" Ning Zhen said, "Third Prince Fan Qian released the Avian Plague virus to the Avian race. This matter is our Heavenly Demon Cave's fault!"
"Currently, the Spider Emperor is in seclusion, and the First Prince leads the Heavenly Demon Cave. Such an incident occurring is his oversight!"
"Our Demon Spider clan should indeed come to your door to apologize and compensate!"
"Compensation? Humph, do you know how many of my Avian race's children the Avian Plague has claimed?" Yan Guang snorted heavily!
The invisible mental pressure, like Thor's hammer, fiercely struck Ning Zhen's chest!
He trembled in fear and coughed up a mouthful of blood!
"Peng Emperor, please suppress your anger!" Ning Zhen quickly said, "This matter is indeed our Heavenly Demon Cave's fault, and we have realized our error!"
Speaking of which, a thought crossed his mind!
He took out two wooden chests from his storage artifact!
Upon opening them, they were filled with spirit herbs over one hundred thousand years old!
As well as rare immortal stones!
"This is the sincerity of our Heavenly Demon Cave!"
"Here are twenty spirit herbs over one hundred thousand years old!"
"Five spirit herbs over two hundred thousand years old!"
"Three spirit herbs over three hundred thousand years old!"
"Two spirit herbs over four hundred thousand years old!"
"And one spirit herb over five hundred thousand years old!"
"In addition to this, there are one thousand top-grade immortal stones!"
These spirit herbs made Yan Guang sigh in admiration!
His entire fortune had been consumed by Chen Nan, but even before that, he hadn't possessed so much!
Let alone, this was merely compensation from the Heavenly Demon Cave!
The fact that they could produce so many spirit herbs indicated their considerable wealth, something the Avian race could not compare to!
"The Avian race and the Heavenly Demon Cave are natural enemies. Even if your people used despicable means to harm my Avian race this time, you wouldn't need to come to apologize, would you?" Yan Guang's lips curved into a cold smile!
Ning Zhen quickly replied, "The relationship between the Heavenly Demon Cave and the Avian race has indeed been poor, but that was in the past!"
"Now that the Spider Emperor's lifespan is nearing its end, our Demon Spiders wish to be on amicable terms with the Avian race forever, to foster good neighborly relations!"
Tu An chuckled, "To put it bluntly, you're afraid that after the Spider Emperor's death, there will be no one to contend with my Avian race, which is why you're willing to stoop to this level?"
Ning Zhen was sweating profusely, and he nervously said, "That is correct!"
Chen Nan: "You're not just here to apologize, are you? Get straight to the point, don't be so wishy-washy!"
Ning Zhen said, "The First Prince hopes to gain the Peng Emperor's assistance. If he can become the new Spider Emperor, our Heavenly Demon Cave will retreat ten thousand miles to the west and cede one hundred thousand miles of territory!"
"One hundred thousand miles... tsk tsk tsk! What a grand gesture!" Yan Guang's face remained unreadable, but he felt a stir of interest within!
It was important to note that the Avian race's territory from east to west was only three hundred thousand kilometers!
This time!
The other party had essentially gifted them one-third of their territory!
Yan Guang said calmly, "You may return. I will consider this matter and someone will send you a message later."
"Yes!"
Ning Zhen respectfully withdrew!
Although he desired a clear answer!
He knew!
Such matters could not be rushed!
Otherwise, it could lead to significant losses!
"Brother Chen Nan, what do we do?" Yan Guang looked at Chen Nan. He considered himself reasonably intelligent, but he also knew that Chen Nan's wisdom was extraordinary, far surpassing his own!
"No rush, no rush!" Chen Nan said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, there will be more people from the Heavenly Demon Cave coming to negotiate. We'll see who offers more sincerity, and then we'll cooperate with them!"
"Come, come, let's drink, let's drink!"
Yan Guang raised his wine cup!
About half an hour later!
That golden hummingbird appeared again!
"You were right again, another expert from the Heavenly Demon Cave has arrived!" Yan Guang grinned, "I really want to know this time, will they bring some medicinal herbs over?"
He was eager!
Hei Yan and Tu An were also eager!
Subsequently, a beautiful woman with fair skin, long legs, and a striking figure, dressed in a red gown, walked over respectfully, "Junior Long Yan, subordinate to the Second Prince Fan Qi of the Heavenly Demon Cave, pays her respects to Senior Peng Emperor!"
Yan Guang said indifferently, "I don't have much goodwill towards your Demon Spider clan. If you have business, talk to my brother! Yes, he is my brother!"
"He can completely represent this Emperor!"
Long Yan felt no awkwardness and also took out two wooden chests!
Inside were spirit herbs and immortal stones!
According to her, she was representing Fan Qi in apologizing to the Avian race!
"The First Prince Fan Tian is incompetent and failed to manage the Heavenly Demon Cave properly, thus causing the Avian Plague crisis! Although the Second Prince is ranked second, he is willing to represent the Heavenly Demon Cave in apologizing to the Avian race!"
"These medicinal herbs and immortal stones represent the attitude of our Heavenly Demon Cave!"
"Furthermore, our Second Prince wishes to establish eternal friendship with the Avian race. If the Second Prince can become the new leader of the Heavenly Demon Cave, he is willing to cede two hundred thousand square li of territory!"
This time!
Yan Guang's heart stirred again!
The territory of the Demon Spider clan from east to west was only seven hundred thousand square li!
Now, ceding two hundred thousand, this was equivalent to giving up nearly one-third of their territory!
Alas!
Thinking of the Spider Emperor's illustrious reign!
Now that he was in seclusion, the land was almost being divided by his sons!
"If your Second Prince keeps his word, we might consider it!" Chen Nan said, "How about this, you go back first. I will consider this matter carefully."
"I will give you a definite answer within ten days!"
"As for these medicinal herbs, I will accept them first!"
"Yes!"
Long Yan's heart rejoiced!
The acceptance of their medicinal herbs indicated that there was hope for this matter!
Now, all they had to do was return and await good news!
"Why are the people from the Heavenly Demon Cave so wealthy? The spirit herbs offered by the two sons of the Spider Emperor are more than what our Avian race has! It's simply outrageous!" Tu An exclaimed!
Yan Guang said, "The larger the territory, the greater the wealth. Our Avian race is the weakest among the five major powers in the demon realm, and the root cause is our small territory, which prevents us from discovering many heavenly treasures!"
Speaking of which, he looked at Chen Nan, "Do you think there will be more people from the Heavenly Demon Cave coming?"
Chen Nan feigned mystery and counted on his fingers, "I reckon there will be more people from that side! And it will be someone intelligent!"
"Mr. Chen, the person you're referring to isn't me, is it?"
At this moment!
A black figure emerged from the night!
Upon seeing the person, Yan Guang grinned, "Oh, it's you?"
