Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 853 - 788: The Human Race Indeed Has Progressiveness! _2

"And you! Jianmu Child! You helped Zhang San kill me today! In the future, Zhang San will kill you too! Hahaha..."

Realizing that the sword edge in Zhang San’s hand was getting closer and closer, the struggling Qian Shanxiu knew that today was surely his end.

Since I am destined to die, no one shall have it easy either.

"Great Merciful Tree King, you’ve recruited these plant-based demons under the guise of compassion all these years, seemingly protecting them. But in reality, isn’t it to use them to lure strong human race figures to steal, then kill them and bury them underground, to become your nourishment for strength?"

"And about Princess Nihuang! What nonsense about an external demon clan causing havoc on Longyou Road! Princess Nihuang is your daughter. It’s just a show for all the demon clans to see, to bring fame to your illegitimate daughter, and then you take her under your wing to boost your reputation within the demon clan!"

"And your All Things Path Red Dust Immortal, she’s almost done for! Done for! Hahaha... Ah..."

With a squelch, Jianmu Child finally aligned Qian Shanxiu’s throat with the sword edge in Zhang San’s hand and stabbed it in.

"Now that the culprit has been brought to justice, and we have seen the sincerity from the Great Merciful Tree King, the upcoming matters become simple."

After Zhang San finished speaking, he waved the Mo Blade in his hand, and Spear immediately unleashed the power of his secret realm, enveloping the Great Merciful Tree King, Jianmu Child, Princess Nihuang, and some key figures on his side within it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, supreme demons and elders from the Northeast Five Immortal Clans, if you wish to listen in, you are welcome to join."

Clearly, the upcoming conversation was not something ordinary demon clans could listen to.

The Thousand-Eyed Rat King knew that Zhang San’s real plan was about to start.

And the Deer God also realized that the negotiation to follow would certainly decide the future of All Things Path, and perhaps even the Path of Ghosts and Gods and the Imperial Path.

As these supreme demons and the five clan leaders from the Northeast Five Immortal Clans entered.

Zhang San smiled and greeted everyone one by one.

Seeing that Zhang San was capable enough to handle everything, Li Moxian tore through the space and left the scene.

At this moment, the Great Merciful Tree King transformed into a human form of a woman.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let’s first discuss how to wrap up the battle at Julong Pass. After all, this matter concerns the relationship between our Great Sui human race and the demon clan of Longyou Road."

"Firstly, with the North Wind Wolf King captured, how to deal with the North Wind Wolf Clan is up to the Ying Zhao Clan, considering that the territory of the North Wind Wolf Clan originally belonged to the Ying Zhao Clan. Does anyone object to this?"

No one expressed opposition, clearly agreeing.

"Very well, now that this matter is resolved, I shall lead the Town Demon Office to inform the demon clans throughout Longyou Road that the Ying Zhao Clan is returning to its ancestral land, and no demon clans are to invade. This decision will be jointly made by me, the Great Sui Town Demon Office, and the eight supreme demons present!"

Success!

Initially, everyone thought they just needed to agree, but it turns out, the matter of the Ying Zhao Clan’s return alone has deeply tied the eight supreme demons here to the Town Demon Office.

"Next is the matter of the Great Merciful Tree King participating in this battle. Great Merciful Tree King, don’t prepare some lie about your children just going out for training and being unaware. Everyone’s not a fool, we all know what’s going on."

The woman-formed Great Merciful Tree King’s face blushed.

Because she had indeed intended to say just that earlier.

"I know your true form is Jianmu, the Holy Tree. And I’ve heard that Jianmu bears fruit every three hundred and sixty-five years. The fruit, once consumed, can open the Seas of Wheels, transform the whole body, and perhaps even grant supernatural powers and abilities?"

Seeing Zhang San’s understanding of herself, and knowing that denial was futile, the Great Merciful Tree King nodded.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t ask for much. If you give me ten Jianmu Fruits, then this war can be declared over. If needed, I can even claim publicly that the Great Merciful Tree King’s power was too overwhelming and I, Zhang San, was forced to flee."

In her heart, the Great Merciful Tree King cursed: You can’t beat me anyway! You think I’m afraid of you? I feared Li Moxian!

"Ten is too many! I don’t have that many!"

"A fruit emerges every three hundred and sixty-five years. That’s three hundred and sixty-five fruits in a hundred thousand years! You’ve existed for tens of thousands of years; surely you can spare ten, right?"

The Great Merciful Tree King wore a displeased expression: "Over the long years, I’ve indeed produced quite a number of fruits, but I also need to grow. Moreover, sometimes when I get injured, I must use the energy from the fruits. So, what I actually have left is about a hundred or so. Besides..."

"When I gave birth to Nihuang and the child servant initially, I consumed half of them, and over the years I also needed to secure powerful demon clans as allies, so I gave some away. Currently, I only have seven left."

Zhang San believed that the Great Merciful Tree King was telling the truth.

Because she was already in such a state, she probably didn’t dare lie.

More importantly, although it seemed the Great Merciful Tree King managed everything well, in reality, everything in the All Things Path was done based on strength, with few thinking to outsmart other demon clans.

Otherwise, with these small tricks of the Great Merciful Tree King, she would’ve been outplayed long ago.

"Since you only have seven, I wouldn’t feel right taking them all, so let’s settle for this number—six! How’s that?"

As Zhang San spoke, he raised his left hand, making a gesture for the number three.

At this moment, the Great Merciful Tree King felt her mind go blank.

Though her true form was Jianmu.

"I... can give you six at most?"

Hearing the Great Merciful Tree King’s reply in a questioning tone, Zhang San furrowed his brows.

"Great Merciful Tree King, I mean I want this number—six! Can you approve of that?"

Zhang San said, raising his hand again to make a gesture for the number three.

The Great Merciful Tree King still did not understand Zhang San’s meaning, so she affirmed: "Then I’ll give you six."

Zhang San grinned; it seemed the Great Merciful Tree King really wasn’t very bright!

At this moment, Hu couldn’t hold his laughter back any longer.

All along, Hu thought that the silly roe deer was somewhat stupid.

But now he realized that not only did the silly roe deer not get it, but neither did the Great Merciful Tree King, nor did the supreme demons like Yellow Dragon, Deer God, and Niu Mo around them understood either, all with puzzled faces.

In contrast, Old Hu and the Northeast Five Immortal Clans’ leaders, as well as the Thousand-Eyed Rat King, looked puzzled yet understanding. Wasn’t Zhang San’s message clear enough yet?

Finally, unable to hold back, Hu spoke up: "Let me translate for you. Zhang San means let you say three, and then openly give him three fruits."

Upon hearing this, the Great Merciful Tree King was overjoyed and said with a smile: "So giving just three is enough? Then why did he ask for six just now?"

"He indeed wants six, but you openly give him three and secretly another three. So the three given secretly will be... get it?"

The Great Merciful Tree King blinked, pondered for a while, and suddenly realized: "I see! I get it now! Then Sir Zhang San, I’ll give you three!"

As the Great Merciful Tree King said this, she produced six fruits, three in her hand, and three handed to the Jianmu Child beside her, instructing him to give them to Zhang San.

And the Jianmu Child was puzzled.

Even he still didn’t understand why six fruits need to be split into open and secret when it’s actually the same.

Niu Mo glanced at the silly roe deer beside and asked: "Did you get it?"

The Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums shook his head and whispered: "I didn’t get it. Did you?"

"I didn’t get it either. But I feel that this is perhaps the progressiveness of the human race!"

Though Niu Mo didn’t understand the issue with the two threes and one six.

But he was sure that these were not matters that ordinary demon clans could figure out.

Yet some demon clans could understand and some could not.

The human race, indeed shows progressiveness!

These things, I must learn!
