Chapter 1133
The head of the Tu family spat out the tea in his mouth. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The reason why he lost his composure was because he remembered who Li Dao Xing was.
He thought that he was an ordinary Heaven Prime expert, but reality proved that there was no ordinary Heaven Prime expert. If the other party was really Xing Dao Li, then this matter would not be easy to resolve.
When Xing Dao Li became famous, he was only at Mortal Prime, not the head of the family.
But now, he was already at Earth Prime, and had been the head of the family for ten thousand years.
The reason why he was able to become the head of the family was because the previous head was beaten to an unimaginable extent, and had to go into seclusion.
Apart from the Tu family, a few of the other family heads were also beaten, causing the family head to be replaced.
When Xing Dao Li attacked those family heads, it was considered bullying, so he did not deliberately kill them.
But then, when faced with the revenge of the big families, Xing Dao Li displayed his absolute strength.
This directly caused the Five Elements to lose two Heaven Prime experts. At that time, the Five Elements had schemed against the Wuji Sect, causing the Wuji Sect's experts to counterattack, causing huge losses.
So at that time, every Heaven Prime expert was an incredible foundation of the family. After losing two, they decisively gave up on the pursuit.
That time, the large faction had admitted defeat. However, they did not expect that Xing Dao Li was not satisfied. He would often wait outside the large faction. Once a Heavenly Yuan stage practitioner appeared, he would ruthlessly kill them, resulting in the deaths of two Heavenly Yuan stage practitioners.
That was an era, although the demon race did not invade, because of the destruction of the Wuji Sect, the Tianwu Continent became unstable due to internal conflicts.
At that time, Xing Dao Li, who was holding a saber, was a symbol.
This symbol, like the current Zi Chen, had an absolute status.
.....
"The others who should have died are all dead, and the ones who should not have died are all gone. Why is that old thing still shamelessly staying in this world?"
"That old fart, back then he was a dog raised by the Wuji Sect, and now he is helping the Wuji Sect.
Obviously, he is working with Zi Chen to trick us! "
"Zi Chen has not broken through yet, he can still kill him!
But once he breaks through, it will be much more difficult to kill him. "
"How?
He was with that old bastard Xing Dao Li. Who could get close to him?
Moreover, we can't possibly fight Xing Dao Li to the death because of this matter! "
"Then what should we do?
Could it be that they were just going to negotiate like this?
And with a lot of resources? "
Because Xing Dao Li's deeds were truly extraordinary, the leaders of the Five Elements quickly gathered together to discuss this matter.
"Right now, there are only two paths in front of us. We can either negotiate compensation or fight to the death.
Of course, the former was easy to deal with. It was just a loss of some resources!
But if we choose the latter, then none of those captives will be able to return alive.
In addition, in order to kill Xing Dao Li, we have to use all our strength. Not to mention, what if we can't kill him and he escapes?
Even if we kill Xing Dao Li, the losses on our side will be enormous.
And these losses will definitely exceed the losses offered by the peace talks. "
The one who spoke was the head of the Tu clan. He was the first to receive the news and gathered everyone. Naturally, he was the first to express his stance.
"So you're saying that we should negotiate with Zi Chen?" The other four looked at the head of the Tu clan.
"I'm just calculating the losses for you. The specific choice is entirely up to all of you. Moreover, this matter is not limited to the five of us, there are three other clans. We'll discuss it when they arrive!
Perhaps they'll suggest to attack at all costs! "
The representatives of the other three clans arrived quickly. However, after hearing Xing Dao Li's name, they were unable to make a choice, just like the Five Elements.
"Xing Dao Li is going too far!" The head of the Tyrant Clan said coldly.
"Is he looking down on our Sword Sect?" The head of the Sword Sect also said angrily.
Including the two of them, all the clan heads of the other clans were furious. They constantly criticized or scolded Xing Dao Li.
However, no one was willing to make a choice when they were angry.
"Despicable, truly despicable!"
"At most, we'll just fight. Who's afraid of who!"
Similar bold words like these were constantly heard. However, no one made the decision to lead people to fight.
As the instigator, the head of the Tu clan could not help but feel disdain when he saw the indignant crowd.
It was obvious that they knew what to do and had already made a choice. However, they did not say it out loud because they wanted to protect their so-called face.
However, to the head of the Tu clan, they had suffered losses at the hands of Zi Chen time and time again. Their face had been slapped so many times that it did not matter if they still cared about their face.
This matter needed to be discussed to come to a conclusion. No one was willing to put down their face to negotiate, so he had to say it. Otherwise, they would definitely eat, sleep, and take care of themselves here. They would talk all day long to make themselves happy, but it was meaningless.
He coughed lightly. After successfully attracting everyone's attention, he suggested, "Why don't we negotiate?"
"Negotiate?" Hearing this, the others looked at each other and frowned. They asked, "What's the reason?"
Looking at their expressions, the head of the Tu clan had the urge to beat them up. It was obvious that everyone was thinking the same thing. Now that he suggested it out of goodwill, it was fine if they did not back down. Instead, they worked together to push him up the mountain.
However, in the current situation, he could only accept his fate. He said, "If we negotiate, we will only lose some resources. However, these resources can be exchanged for those Earth Yuan martial artists.
If we really want to fight, once we lose a few Sky Yuan martial artists, it will not be worth it.
After all, even though Zi Chen is greedy, his knowledge is limited. Furthermore, the requests he made are all trivial matters. Even if we compensate for the resources, how much can we give?
However, we need to nurture a Sky Yuan martial artist. I'm sure everyone knows how much resources we need. "
The head of the Jin clan nodded and said, "That makes sense. At our level, resources are no longer of much use. Compared to resources, the lives of the clan's experts are much more valuable.
Besides, we can't disappoint the people in the clan, can we?
However, if we choose to negotiate, it will seem like we are showing weakness. Then, how will the world view us? Where will we put our face? "
"That's right. Resources can be lost, and we don't care about those resources. However, we cannot lose our dignity and face. We cannot become the laughingstock of the world."
Hearing other people agree, the head of the Tu clan became angry. He said, "If we really want to talk about losing face, then after losing to Zi Chen time and time again, we have lost all our face.
Furthermore, why would we care about the world's opinion when we do things? "
Actually, what he wanted to say was that in the eyes of the world, they were already the synonym of shamelessness. So what if they lost some face?
Furthermore, they did not care about the world's opinion in the past. Now, they cared about the world's opinion because of their dignity. It was truly laughable.
"We cannot boost the morale of others and destroy our own!
Even though we have lost, we have never given up on clearing our name! "
The head of the Tu clan waved his hand. The disdain on his face became even stronger. He said, "Alright, quickly tell us your thoughts.
I agree to negotiate. If you are not willing, you can go to the Wuji Sect tomorrow. As for you guys, you can send people to kill them! "
The head of the Jin clan paused and said, "If that's the case, then let's negotiate. As for the problem of losing face, the other party is a Heaven Origin Stage cultivator. He took advantage of our people going to another world to threaten us.
If he isn't afraid of losing face, then why should we? "
"Agreed!"
"Then it's decided!"
Seeing everyone agree, the head of the Tu clan was unhappy. He said directly, "Don't forget to bring more resources. Otherwise, if we can't redeem our cultivators, that would be the real humiliation."
This discussion ended unhappily. Because the head of the Tu clan felt that he was cheated by them. For their own dignity, they did not care about the dignity of others and trampled on them.
Sure enough, it did not take long for the news of the Tu Clan leading the other forces to the peace talks to spread.
The news clearly stated that the Tu clan was the first to suggest this. In order to not hurt their alliance, the other forces had to agree.
"Shameless, truly shameless. Just you wait!" The head of the Tu clan roared.
.....
In the Wuji Sect, after Zi Chen got people to take the captives away, he did not pay any attention to them.
As for the high-end accommodation and meals that were originally mentioned, he did not care about them at all.
Over the past few days, he had been trying to sense the power of the rules and had already gained some benefits. This made him overjoyed.
After all, after grasping the power of the rules, he could break through to the Earth Origin Stage. At that time, his combat strength would undergo an earth-shattering change.
As for the others, such as Wild Wolf, Wu Liu, Wang Shan, and the others, they entered Zi Chen's Time Castle to cultivate.
The secret of the Time Castle was not completely public yet. Only the upper echelons of the Wuji Sect knew about it. Inside, time was accelerated by a hundred times, which was very sufficient.
Wang Xian 'er and the others also entered and cultivated their Essence, Energy, and Spirit again, allowing them to reach their limits.
There was no need to deliberately prepare anything for the negotiation. When the time came, they could ask for a sky-high price or raise the price on the ground. In order to be more ruthless, Zi Chen specially found the Perfect Body and the monk to discuss this matter seriously. Then, he came up with a compensation plan.
A few days later, the family heads of the large factions personally arrived. There were a total of more than ten people, and eight of them were the leaders.
Zi Chen and Wang Qiong personally welcomed them outside the sect. Then, they were led to the main hall.
At the top of the hall, Xing Dao Li sat upright with an indifferent expression. When the family heads saw him, they could not help but feel reserved.
Zi Chen sat at the bottom of the hall. After the maids served tea and refreshments, he stood up and asked, "You have all come from afar. Shall we exchange pleasantries first, or shall we directly discuss the matter of compensation?"
Zi Chen's direct opening stunned the family heads.
Clearly, such a direct method proved that Zi Chen and the others did not want to negotiate. This was because even the basic hypocrisy and pleasantries were omitted.
"Then let's begin!" Jin family head said.
