Anyway, the other party was the father of an Inborn Grandmaster, and with such a status, he did not consider himself demeaned.
“Not at all. What the True Person said earlier is true. General devotes himself with divine power, and I was overconfident earlier in resisting the heavenly soldiers, which led to this end. It’s fate. On the contrary, it is my narrow-mindedness that offended the True Person.” Lan Zhaoyun hurriedly stepped aside and spoke at this time, not daring to accept an apology from a True Person.
Frankly speaking, if the various Inborn sects in the world are at the apex of the martial arts world, the Inborn Grandmasters in the world would be at the apex among martial artists.
Then the six Dao Veins of the mysterious gate are at the apex of those Inborn sects, and the True Persons of the six major Dao sects are the apex of the Inborn Grandmasters.
EvenCountries like Zhou, Liang, and Yue treated the six major Dao Veins with great reverence and dared not show any disrespect.
Since even these major countries were like this, how could the Five Poisons Sect not be?
However, seeing a True Person from a great Dao Vein apologizing to himself for being momentarily speechless made Lan Zhaoyun even more surprised.
He looked at Lu Yuan in front of him, and his emphasis on this court general rose again.
Lan Zhaoyun was clear that the reason why the attitudes of the three True Grandmasters before him were so good was not because of his identity as the Sect Leader or because of his daughter who was a Grandmaster.
Although these factors contributed, a greater likelihood was that it came from Lu Yuan’s attitude.
A newly promoted Inborn Grandmaster could make two veteran Grandmasters and an Immortal True Person treat him like this, which was thought-provoking for the hidden meaning behind it.
At the same time, this also made Lan Zhaoyun feel even more-convinced that it was the right decision to come and negotiate for peace today.
Otherwise, it would not just be about preserving their Dao Inheritance and tribesmen.
Even his own daughter might have had difficulty surviving in the world.
“Alright, since Sect Leader Lan has come, it means that you are willing to turn enemies into friends. So let’s put the past behind us.” Lu Yuan also took the initiative to interrupt and change the subject. After talking about the past, he began to talk about the main point: “Sect Leader Lan, you should have no problem understanding the terms I proposed today since you came to negotiate for peace, right?”
Earlier Lu Yuan had already put forward his attitude when negotiating with the Five Poisons Sect, which was to ask the other party to surrender without conditions, hand over their troops and horses and completely eliminate their separatist forces.
In return, he would allow the Five Poisons Sect to continue to exist as a martial arts force in the martial arts world.
This condition was already very lenient for a rebel.
After all, rebellion is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine families.
Now that Lu Yuan was able to pardon and protect them, how could it not be considered as an act of kindness?
However, for the Five Poisons Sect who was ambitious to restore the Miao Tribe, this condition was equivalent to giving up their thousand-year aspiration, which was not easy to accept.
Therefore, the previous negotiations faced many difficulties.
It was because the Five Poisons Sect wanted to retain their military forces, and even to retain the territory of Qianling County, to continue to exist as a separatist force.
However, while maintaining separatism, they would also act as a vassal, offering money and military forces to Lu Yuan.
But the existence of a country within a country would undoubtedly shake the foundation of his rule, so how could Lu Yuan allow it?
Therefore, in the face of the unrealistic expectations of the Five Poisons Sect, he had already refused categorically, leaving no room for negotiation.
However, now that Lan Zhaoyun had taken the initiative to come, it seemed that he had accepted the reality and was willing to disarm, hand over the city, and return to a normal martial arts force.
As expected
Hearing Lu Yuan’s inquiry, Lan Zhaoyun quickly bowed down and said, “The general is kind and pardons our crimes of rebellion. Our sect and tribe are grateful. We are willing to hand over Qianling County, disarm our troops, and await the general’s disposition.”
Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this and laughed, “It is comforting to my heart that your sect understands this. Military campaigns are dangerous. A slight accident can result in the death of millions of people. Now that we can make peace and end war, whether it is Miao or Yue, it is a blessing for the people of Dongting. Sect Leader Lan, please stand up.”
“The general’s kindness is admirable.”
Lan Zhaoyun did not stand up but continued to bow, and then said, “However, there has been deep-rooted hatred between Miao and Yue, with tens of thousands of casualties. Between our two tribes, there has long been deep hatred. Today, as we lay down our arms and surrender, we fear in our hearts. We ask General to grant our request to reassure us.”
Lu Yuan didn’t expect that at this moment, the other party would still have such a trick, and couldn’t help but frown. But he still asked, “What request?”
Lan Zhaoyun took a breath and then said solemnly, “The resentment between Miao and Yue has existed since ancient times, and today it has only deepened. If it continues like this, it will inevitably erupt again in the future, bringing disaster.
We have thought about it, and instead of endless hatred, why not shake hands now, resolve the grudges, and become a family?
Therefore, we boldly ask General to form an alliance with our tribe through marriage and marry our daughter.
As such, the two families would become one, and there would be no distinction between them, and naturally, there would be no more grievances.”
When these words came out, there was silence on the scene.
Yan Wangqiu and the others looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they all saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Lu Yuan looked at Lan Zhaoyun with astonishment in his heart as well.
He never imagined that Lan Zhaoyun’s condition would be this.
Marrying the Holy Girl of the Five Poisons Sect and forming an alliance with the other party through marriage.
Indeed, if the two families could form an alliance through marriage and become one, then the resentment between the Five Poisons Sect and the Yue people would naturally dissipate.
Furthermore, as the son-in-law of the Five Poisons Sect, Lu Yuan would naturally become the half-owner of the Five Poison Sect and the entire Miao Tribe. The entire Five Poisons Sect and Miao Tribe would become Lan Cai’er’s dowry, gifted to him, the son-in-law.
