Chapter 356: Truce (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The truce agreement mentioned was only applicable to the alliance of two sides, but it didn’t specifically prohibit confrontations between individuals or sects.
This meant that as long as a war of this scale did not break out between the two sides, it would not be considered a violation of the contract even if two Golden Core sects engaged in a fight.
At the thought of this, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly said,
“Pavilion Master Hou, do you know why they stopped this war with us?
1 don’t believe that with the style of these two nations, they can take that matter lying down.”
What Jiang Chengxuan was referring to was naturally about the fact that they had killed four Golden Cores of the Zheng and Shu alliance.
This question was also what everyone present wanted to know.
However, Hou Dongbai shook his head this time.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, the question you brought up is actually what 1 can’t figure out and feel puzzled about the most.
However, for the time being, we are destined to not get an answer. We can only send people to investigate it afterwards.
The most important thing now is to figure out what to do next. What do you think about their proposal to end the war? Do you think we should agree to it?”
What Hou Dongbai said was right.
Instead of focusing all their attention on a question they couldn’t figure out, they might as well seriously consider whether they should really agree to the truce.
Yu Haoji was the first to express his opinion.
He said, “If both sides can sign a blood contract, 1 think we can agree to this.
After all, with our strength, if we continue to fight like this, other than wasting each other’s resources unnecessarily, there won’t be much of a result.”
His point of view was quickly supported by Li Mingkong and Wen Shujun.
Obviously, they were also tired of this meaningless war.
After all, what they wanted back then was to show their uncompromising attitude.
Now that they had achieved this goal, if they continued to expend resources like this, it would obviously not be worth it.
Gu Yuefeng, Elder Flowing Fire, and the rest agreed with Yu Haoji.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were the same.
Although they felt that there might be more to this matter that they did not know,
However, just as Hou Dongbai had said, it was not easy to find out the real reason behind it.
The most important thing now was to end this war as soon as possible.
“Since everyone agreed unanimously, this matter is decided.”
Hou Dongbai looked at everyone and said, “According to the message they sent, if we agree to a truce, we can go to the border of our two sides in five days to sign a blood oath contract.”
Five days later.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, together with the Jade Water Sword Pavilion, the Heavenly Yue Sect, and the Golden Core cultivators of the Yun and Yan nations, signed a truce agreement with the Golden Core cultivators of the Zheng and Shu alliance.
From then on, the war between the five nations that had lasted for several years temporarily came to an end.
On the way back, Hou Dongbai sent a voice transmission to Jiang Chengxuan and his wife to remind them to be careful of the cultivators from Zheng and Shu in the future.
Especially the Shangguan family.
Whether it was the grudge between the two families or the fact that Jiang Chengxuan killed Shangguan Yongchang at the beginning of the war, it was enough for the Shangguan family to hate the Jiang family to the core.
They might be lurking in the dark and finding every opportunity to destroy the Jiang family.
This was not within the terms of the Blood Oath Contract.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan both said that they would pay attention.
After the couple returned to Mount Mystic Tai, the family head, Jiang Renyi, immediately looked for them.
He came to ask about the results.
Jiang Chengxuan said, “Yiren, you can inform Rendao and my Fifth Granduncle to come back.”
“Huh?”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Jiang Renyi’s heart skipped a beat.
He looked up at Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan nodded and said, “The contract has been signed. Before the next demon beast riot arrives, both sides are not allowed to declare a war.”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Jiang Renyi heaved a sigh of relief.
“However, we can’t leave the purple copper mine unguarded.”
Jiang Chengxuan continued, “Let Elder Xu stay there for the time being until we find a suitable person to replace him.”
Jiang Renyi naturally had no objections to Jiang Chengxuan’s arrangements. He immediately nodded.
After a while.
A hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
Jiang Chengxuan noticed it and immediately asked,
