101: The Demon King bowed his head

For these past few days, the Other Shore Demon King had used many methods to quell the public opinion, but the results were not good. She had already lost the initiative in public opinion and it was difficult to turn things around. Now, to quell the public opinion, only Gu Yuchuan could come forward to explain, or a prestigious Demon Emperor could come forward. Otherwise, it would be difficult to quell this public opinion, and she, as a Demon King, would definitely have to pay a price.

However, no Demon Emperor was willing to come forward for such a trivial matter; it would be too beneath them. After struggling for a few days, the Other Shore Demon King still had to bow her head. She went to find the Black Shark Demon King and, through him, arranged a meeting with Gu Yuchuan, saying she was willing to provide compensation if Gu Yuchuan would show mercy and put this matter to rest.

Gu Yuchuan went to meet her immediately. It was indeed time for this public opinion to subside, otherwise, it would be difficult to bring to a close. Although the Other Shore Demon King was on his 'little black book' list to be killed in the future, it was definitely not now. Currently, he held the moral high ground, so whatever he did, those above would not interfere excessively. But if he forced the Other Shore Demon King to her death, then even if he had exceptional Aptitude, his end would not be very good.

Therefore, ending it now was the best outcome. First, he could obtain a large amount of compensation; as a Demon King, her net worth was certainly very high, and the things she gave might even be richer than all of his own wealth. Second, it brought their conflict out into the open. From then on, the Other Shore Demon King could not do anything to him, otherwise, the public opinion could make a comeback at any time.

He slipped away and arrived at the Tidal Palace. It was still the Chancellor who received him. This time, the look in the Chancellor's eyes carried a hint of admiration.

"You are truly amazing. You forced an internal Demon King to such a state. You don't know how humble she was when she came to Face our Your Highness. However, your path ahead will not be easy either. They look down on us in the outer circle to begin with. Even if you ascend to Demon King in the future, I'm afraid it won't be easy to integrate into their circle."

These were words from the heart, spoken for his own good. Gu Yuchuan naturally would not fail to appreciate good intentions.

"Many thanks for the Chancellor's advice, but I cannot consider these things right now. If I do not fight back, my only outcome is death. As for after Golden Core, I am currently only at the Second layer of Foundation Establishment; it is too early to say these things. Besides, as someone with an Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation, after I ascend to Golden Core, do I need to fear that no one will try to recruit me?"

The Chancellor was stunned for a moment, sighed, and his eyes were filled with delight: "I actually forgot about this. You are different from us. Your potential, Aptitude, and combat power will all be valued. Alright, hurry in; both Demon Kings are waiting for you. It would not be appropriate if you were late. Remember, do not be overly aggressive; you are, after all, the weaker party."

Gu Yuchuan nodded and walked straight in. He saw a man and a woman sitting on the thrones above. The man was a middle-aged man in black armor with a stern Face, looking full of majesty. The woman was charming and beautiful, but her brows were filled with sorrow, and her eyes looking at Gu Yuchuan carried intense killing intent. However, in an instant, she hid her emotions; she was here to seek peace, so she could not have this attitude.

"Bright Stream, Azure Scale Demon General, greets the Black Shark Demon King."

Gu Yuchuan only paid respects to the Black Shark Demon King, completely ignoring the Other Shore Demon King. This made the other party even more Life Qi. But at this moment, she could not lash out because of this matter. The relationship between the Black Shark Demon King and the Other Shore Demon King was not good either, and he would not reprimand Gu Yuchuan because of this.

"Azure Scale Demon General, the person beside me is the Other Shore Demon King. I called you here today because she wants to apologize to you and resolve the misunderstanding between you two."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Other Shore Demon King spoke up immediately. Her smile was very bright, but it looked like a fake smile, smiling without mirth: "Yes, it was all a misunderstanding between us. I don't know why there were rumors saying I wanted to scheme to kill you. How could that be? Everyone knows I am the most gentle Demon King, I would not do such things. We flower and plant spirits do not like killing."

Gu Yuchuan did not follow the other party's line of thought at all: "I don't think Your Highness the Demon King is sincere about resolving the matter. If this is the attitude, then this little demon will take his leave. I still have quite a few things to deal with at home."

The Other Shore Demon King's eyes widened. She never expected that a Demon General would dare to not give her Face in person like this. The Black Shark Demon King also directly assisted.

"Other Shore, you don't even dare to admit the matter; there is really no sincerity. With this attitude, there is indeed no need for us to talk."

The Other Shore Demon King took a deep breath and composed herself. However, she also knew that at this point, she could not be willful. She had to resolve this matter quickly, otherwise, her end would not be good. She closed her eyes, let out a long breath, and then began to speak.

"Fine, I admit it. I have schemed against you. I admit my mistake. Just say what you want, and I will compensate you. Then you go out and clarify this matter. If this public opinion continues to rage, you will also suffer a backlash."

This was getting to the point. Offering compensation was the proper attitude for real negotiations.

"Since that is the case, then I will say it. First, from now on, you cannot scheme against me or take revenge on me. You must swear to the Heavenly Dao, otherwise, there is no need to talk about the rest. Swear it."

The Other Shore Demon King had actually thought of this point. Although it was a bit humiliating, she had already mentally prepared herself.

She raised her right hand: "Today, I, the Other Shore Demon King Hua Mantian, swear to the Heavenly Dao that from this day forward, I will not scheme against the Azure Scale Demon General Gu Yuchuan, and I will not do anything harmful to him. May the Heavenly Dao be the witness."

After saying this oath, she could no longer do anything to Gu Yuchuan. Only then could they begin to discuss the matter of compensation.

"I will state my requirements directly. First, I need many forging blueprints for Spiritual Artifacts, and among them, there must be one for a Long Spear. The grade cannot be low; it must be high-quality. Furthermore, the corresponding Materials must be provided for each. These blueprints cannot be fewer than ten, and the Materials for each cannot be fewer than ten sets. Second, I want Medicinal Pills for cultivation. It's that simple."

The things requested were certainly a huge amount for a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but for a Demon King at the Golden Core Stage, it was nothing much; it was completely affordable.

"Fine, I will go back and find them for you now. You should also prepare to quell the public opinion. If you dare to play me this time, you know the consequences; I will definitely kill you." After saying this, she left, leaving Gu Yuchuan and the Black Shark Demon King behind. After she left, the Black Shark Demon King's expression suddenly turned very ugly, and he released his Aura, which suppressed Gu Yuchuan and made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Kneel!"
