Chapter 2309 New conditions for the temple
After getting closer, he found that Xixi hadn't recovered yet and didn't notice that they were back at all. Yang Ming thought to himself, I'm afraid this matter is not a big deal, otherwise Xixi wouldn't be like this.
"Xixi, what happened?"
Yang Ming's voice sounded, and Xixi came back to her senses and found that Yang Ming and the others had returned.
Seeing Yang Ming and others, Xi Xi's expressions didn't improve either. Naturally, they looked sad. She sighed before answering Yang Ming's words.
"When the temple envoys came this time, they not only asked me to pay tribute, but they also made other demands."
Xixi paused for a moment. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the temple was abominable, but she had no way to resist. She couldn't think of a way except to frown.
"What's the request?" Yang Ming intuitively felt that the request from the temple envoy was not small, otherwise Xixi wouldn't have such a sad face.
"They asked me to divide half of the territory to them as punishment for not paying the tribute before and for us arresting the people in the temple. They said that we had been disrespectful to the temple before and we must accept the punishment."
After listening to Xixi's story, Yang Ming was very surprised. The temple's appetite was a bit too big.
If the offerings are not enough, they also want half of the territory of the demon clan. Maybe this temple has some plan that it wants to implement.
Obeying the temple is just a temporary measure. If the temple wants territory, Xi Xi must be unwilling to do so. Yang Ming is very clear about the position of his tribe in Xi Xi's heart, so this situation is a bit difficult to handle.
Previously, Xixi listened to Yang Ming and pretended to obey the temple in order to temporarily stabilize the temple. In this way, Yang Ming and the others could find a way to completely solve the demon. If they could not completely solve the problem, they would destroy the temple.
There is no use in arresting people.
But she didn't expect that the temple would make such a request. Xixi definitely didn't believe that the people in the temple would treat the demon people well.
But if all the tribesmen in that half of the territory were taken away, not only would it be a big project, but it would also force some tribesmen to leave their homes, which Xixi did not want to see.
Xixi was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
This request from the temple was beyond everyone's expectation. They thought that the temple would only offer sacrifices or add some more, but they never expected that such a request would be made.
It is not appropriate to have a conflict with the temple at this time, but Yang Ming and the others are about to go to the Immortal Clan to find a way to enter the God Realm. They cannot help Xixi from the Demon Clan, and Xixi definitely does not want the territory to be divided.
Yang Ming and the others didn't want to see the demon race being reduced to the temple. Yang Ming thought over and over again and felt that the temple could not be completely solved, but a lesson should make the temple restrain itself.
"This temple's request is too much. Xixi, I think we can't continue to compromise, otherwise the temple will push further."
"Although we can't completely solve the temple now, we can teach the people in the temple one more time to let them know that we are not easy to bully, lest they think that we can only surrender."
Yang Ming's words were supported by Feng Lin and Yue Ranran. In view of the previous confrontation with the temple, and in the end all the temples surrendered, they all felt that this method was feasible. The people in the temple would not know how high the sky is until they learned some lessons.
After hearing this, Xixi's face not only did not soften but became even more ugly, which made several people's hearts sink a little.
