While Lin Yi secluded himself in the Holy Church Cave Mansion, the five Demon Ancestors of the Demon Tribe decided, after a discussion, to make preliminary contact with the Human race to negotiate a ceasefire.
However, the terms they proposed were excessive, making them unacceptable to the Human race at the time. After several rounds of negotiation, the situation became deadlocked.
The five Demon Ancestors demanded that Transformed Demon Tribe members should have free access to Human territories, and at the same time, the Tai Xuan Dao Palace had to recruit Demon Tribe disciples, while the Human race could only enter Demon territories at specific times and with prior application.
Furthermore, the content and conditions of the negotiations were widely publicized under the instruction of the five Demon Ancestors.
They had hoped to coax Long Ao out with this publicity, to facilitate the ceasefire, so they would yield some conditions as a face-saving measure for Long Ao.
