"Du Busi, Xuanzi, cease fighting. Let's talk."
Ye Xishui's voice, amplified by her soul power, reached the ears of Du Busi and Xuanzi, who were currently entangled in battle with Long Xiaoyao.
Ye Xishui's blood-red eyes stared at the evil soul masters under her command, suffering heavy casualties, and for a moment, her heart ached deeply.
However, despite the pain, Ye Xishui still suppressed the killing intent in her heart. She was well aware that it was no longer suitable to continue fighting.
If they kept going, she and Long Xiaoyao, as Limit Douluo, naturally had nothing to fear.
But all the foundation she had painstakingly built for the Holy Spirit Cult would be completely wiped out.
The number of evil soul masters was far fewer compared to ordinary soul masters, especially talented ones with powerful martial souls, which were even rarer.
Cultivating powerful evil soul masters was no easy task. Once they died, replacing them was extremely difficult—one dead meant one less.
If all her subordinates were killed, wouldn't she, Ye Xishui, become a lone commander?
Thus, Ye Xishui immediately decided to call for a ceasefire, make peace, and negotiate with Xuanzi, Du Busi, Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire, and the others.
Hearing Ye Xishui's words, Du Busi sneered coldly, "Talk? Why didn't you want to talk earlier? Now that you realise you can't win, you want to talk? Too late! Do you really think war is something you can start and stop whenever you please? Ridiculous!"
With that, Du Busi threw a punch. A terrifying strike that oppressed the heavens and tore through space, forcing Ye Xishui to frown deeply and continue fighting.
Not far away, Xuanzi, who was locked in combat with Long Xiaoyao, spoke in a low, grave voice: "Ye Xishui, your crimes are too numerous to record. You led evil soul masters to slaughter cities and massacre innocents, leaving no one alive wherever you went. Such evil is intolerable to heaven and earth.
Today, your Holy Spirit Cult must pay the price for the innocent souls who perished!"
Hearing the two level-98 "little trash" Du Busi and Xuanzi dare to show her such disrespect, Ye Xishui felt a surge of annoyance. Her expression darkened like water.
In her heart, Ye Xishui angrily thought, "Damn it, if it weren't for the assistance of so many Super Douluo, in a one-on-one fight, what qualifications do you two level-98 soul masters have to face and Xiaoyao?
If we kept fighting, with the cultivation of me and Xiaoyao as Limit Douluo, your soul power would definitely run out first, and you would be the ones to fall."
However, Ye Xishui was also fully aware that this was only a hypothetical.
The three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent indeed had deep foundations. Although they had no Limit Douluo overseeing them, they possessed a large number of Super Douluo and Titled Douluo. With the advantage of numbers, the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult were simply no match.
Once all the evil soul masters were eliminated, more than one hundred Titled Douluo would free their hands and join forces with Du Busi and Xuanzi.
Even if Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao could break out of the encirclement, they would inevitably suffer severe injuries.
Still, one must not lose momentum even in defeat. As a Limit Douluo, Ye Xishui immediately declared, "Xuanzi, Du Busi, do you two truly believe that with mere numerical superiority, you can kill Limit Douluo?"
Ye Xishui's lips suddenly curled into a strange smile, making Du Busi's hair stand on end and giving him an ominous premonition.
And Ye Xishui's following words proved his premonition completely accurate.
Ye Xishui said, "Du Busi, Xuanzi, if you two choose to continue fighting, I will gladly accompany you to the end.
You have the numbers, and my Holy Spirit Cult is indeed no match for you in that regard. But do you think that with just these people, you can keep me, Xiaoyao and here?
If you fail to stop me, the moment I escape this encirclement, I will retaliate at any cost.
Every single person who, a participant in this war—I will not let a single one go. Your wives, your families, your children, your sects, your disciples—I will slaughter them all, leaving none alive!"
At these words, the expressions of Du Busi and all the Super Douluo present changed dramatically.
None of them had expected Ye Xishui to be so shameless, uttering such words as a dignified Limit Douluo. She was clearly threatening to become an assassin.
Damn it, a Limit Douluo resorting to assassination—who could stop that?
Especially since the soul guidance technology of the three kingdoms was not advanced enough, and various detection devices were still incapable of monitoring the intrusion of a Limit Douluo. There was simply no way to defend against it.
The only one present who didn't have to worry about Ye Xishui's assassination threats was probably Xuanzi, because Shrek Academy was guarded by the semi-divine Golden Ancient Tree.
If Ye Xishui truly dared to infiltrate Shrek Academy to carry out assassinations, she would be walking into her own grave and would undoubtedly die!
With the power of the semi-divine Golden Ancient Tree, even the Beast God Di Tian would come off worse for wear, let alone a mere Ye Xishui.
However, while Shrek Academy had the protection of the semi-divine Golden Ancient Tree, the forces behind everyone else did not possess such divine protection. One by one, they looked at Ye Xishui with eyes filled with anger mixed with fear.
A level-95 Super Douluo pointed at Ye Xishui's nose and cursed, "Ye Xishui, as a Limit Douluo, how can you be so despicable and underhanded! If you have the guts, fight fair and square today and settle this once and for all!"
Ye Xishui glanced at the Super Douluo with disdain, too lazy to even respond. She was a grand Limit Douluo—what status did he have to speak to her?
Was she an idiot? Fighting dozens of Super Douluo alone was already bad enough; in a while, she would have to face hundreds of Titled Douluo as well. Only a madwoman would fight head-on.
Ye Xishui coldly sneered at Du Busi, "Now, can we finally have a proper talk?"
Seeing the situation, Long Xiaoyao also let out a sigh. "Xuanzi, although you have the numbers, without a Limit Douluo holding the field, you cannot keep me and Xishui me here. Know when to stop."
Xuanzi and Du Busi exchanged a glance and finally let out helpless sighs.
Both of them knew that even if a Limit Douluo could be defeated, it was extremely difficult to keep one from escaping. In the end, they could only accept Ye Xishui's proposal to cease hostilities and negotiate.
As the strongest combatants stopped fighting, the battlefield that had been locked in constant slaughter quickly calmed down. The soul masters of the three kingdoms gathered behind Xuanzi and Du Busi.
The heavily crippled evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult retreated behind Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.
"What do you want to discuss?" Xuanzi asked in a deep voice.
A flash of triumph passed through Ye Xishui's eyes. "Very simple. The Star Luo Empire will cede one-third of its territory to our Holy Spirit Cult as our base… From then on, we will not infringe upon each other."
The moment her words left her mouth, Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire immediately shot back.
"Impossible! Not a single inch of the Star Luo Empire's land will be given to you!"
Xu Jiawei glared at Ye Xishui and the many evil soul masters with eyes full of hatred. This time, the Star Luo Empire had suffered catastrophic losses—countless soul masters and ordinary citizens had died.
Even the capital, Star Luo City, had been reduced to ruins in this war; the city walls were gone. How could mere hatred describe it?
Thus, upon hearing Ye Xishui demand one-third of the Star Luo Empire's territory, Xu Jiawei was the first to refuse.
The Super Douluo and Titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire also voiced their agreement one after another.
Xuanzi said, "Ye Xishui, your demand is excessive."
Ye Xishui replied, "Excessive? More than half of the Star Luo Empire has already fallen to my Holy Spirit Cult. Now I only ask for one-third—what is excessive about that!"
"Then there's nothing to negotiate. Let's continue fighting!"
"...…"
And so, Ye Xishui, Xu Jiawei, Xuanzi, and the others argued back and forth for a full half-day before finally settling on a plan both sides could accept.
