Chapter 1134
The one who walked in was Wang Shan. He had been in seclusion, but Zi Chen had called him out to read out the list of compensation.
Wang Shan's entrance didn't attract the attention of the Patriarchs. At this moment, they were all thinking about what Zi Chen had just said and were very puzzled.
What did he mean by "if you find something wrong, you're welcome to point it out, and then we'll add something to it?"
Everyone looked at Zi Chen again. His expression was calm, and they didn't think that he would make such a low-level mistake. Of course, he had said this intentionally. He didn't want them to question him.
Wang Shan walked to the center of the hall with a list in his hand. He first bowed to Xing Dao Li, then nodded to Zi Chen. He then turned to the family head and nodded as well.
"Ahem."
With a light cough, the negotiation of compensation began. Wang Shan read out, "Compensation: First, the eight factions attacked the Boundless Sect twice, during which they destroyed countless cities and towns, causing huge losses. The second time, they directly destroyed all the cities in the Sacred Domain. The Sacred Domain has many things to do, and it needs to be completely rebuilt. Due to the great distance between the eight factions, it is inconvenient to send labor, so we will use resources to replace labor. The compensation is as follows: one hundred million high-grade Origin Stones, one hundred thousand drops of spirit liquid, and ten thousand drops of high-grade Origin Liquid. The above resources are limited to each faction. Oh, and to add, the Sacred Domain is the area we are in right now."
After reading the first condition, the Patriarchs of the eight factions fell silent. They didn't even look at each other, but the disdain in their eyes couldn't be concealed. What Sacred Domain? It was just a barbarian land. How could it sound so good?
As for the amount of compensation, they didn't have any objections. Even if they knew that it was several times the reconstruction cost, they didn't have any objections.
On the other side, after seeing everyone's expressions, Monk transmitted, "It seems like it's less. Look, they aren't reacting."
Zi Chen replied, "Don't worry, there's more to come."
"The second clause of the compensation: The eight powers have broken the formation twice in succession, severely damaging the formation base and injuring more than a hundred thousand of their disciples. They need resources to refine pills to recover. The compensation is as follows: 655,555 stalks of 8,555-year-old spiritual herbs, 05,555 stalks of 0,555-year-old spiritual herbs, 85,555 stalks of 3,555-year-old spiritual herbs, and 65,555 stalks of 65,555-year-old ancient herbs. Note: Limited to each family. If the spiritual herbs are insufficient, they can be replaced with elemental liquids and elemental stones.
Among the eight of them, only the Clan Leader of the Shizhi Clan twitched his mouth. None of them had come the first time, but they were counted together. However, these small things were not worth him talking about.
These forces had been overlords for hundreds of thousands of years and had discovered countless small worlds. They even had special cultivation bases for ancient medicines and spiritual medicines. These things were really nothing to them.
"It's really too little. These people are truly rich and overbearing. We have been thinking of asking for an exorbitant price day and night, but the other party didn't react at all." The Perfect Body also sent a voice transmission.
"The third clause of the compensation: There are many damages to the mountain gate and the formation base. The compensation is equivalent to 0,555 superior-grade elemental liquids. Note: Limited to each family."
"The fourth clause of the compensation: After attacking the mountain gate twice, more than a hundred thousand disciples suffered double fright, causing them to fall into a trance. They often suffer auditory and visual hallucinations that require a long period of treatment. The compensation is as follows: 65,555 drops of superior-grade elemental liquids. Note: Limited to each family."
"The fifth clause of the compensation:"
"The sixth clause of the compensation:"
"The seventh clause of the compensation:"
"The tenth clause of the compensation:"
"The twentieth clause of the compensation: Food expenses for the captives are as follows: 7,555 drops of superior-grade elemental liquids."
"The twenty-first clause of the compensation: Accommodation expenses for the captives are as follows: 7,555 drops of superior-grade elemental liquids."
"The thirtieth clause of the compensation: 655 drops of superior-grade elemental liquids."
"The total compensation is as follows: 755 million superior-grade Essence Stones, 755,555 drops of spirit liquid, 95,555 drops of superior-grade elemental liquids, 605,555 stalks of 8,555-year-old spirit herbs, 35,555 stalks of 0,555-year-old spirit herbs, 05,555 stalks of 3,555-year-old spirit herbs, and 85,555 stalks of 65,555-year-old ancient herbs. Note: Limited to each family."
Upon reading this, Wang Shan added all thirty clauses of the compensation to ask for these resources. From their point of view, these resources were enough to be considered exorbitant. However, with so many resources, it only made the family heads of the large factions frown slightly.
However, it was unknown if the reason they frowned was because of the resources or the dozens of conditions Zi Chen listed.
In the hall, Xing Dao Li was silent and didn't say a word. The family heads didn't want to be nosy. Since the other party had asked for the resources, it was better to end it here.
Suddenly, Wang Shan, who should have ended, spoke again. "The thirtieth clause of the compensation: The eight factions have caused trouble for Sect Master Zi Chen and the Wuji Sect many times. As a result, the Wuji Sect, led by Sect Master Zi Chen and assisted by Devil Ape, Zhang Haotian, and the others, improved extremely slowly and greatly delayed the time to break through to the Earth Origin Realm. Therefore, 605 nomological fragments will be compensated. Note: Limited to each family."
As soon as this news came out, the expressions of everyone present immediately changed.
A blank look flashed across Zi Chen's face. A strange look also flashed in the eyes of the monk and the perfect body. At the same time, they asked via voice transmission, "Did you add this clause?"
Zi Chen replied via voice transmission, "No. Speaking of which, I don't even know what a nomological fragment is."
"Then why did Wang Shan say this? Could it be Senior's intention?"
While the spiritual sense transmission was happening, Zi Chen and the others were extremely calm. Similarly, Wang Shan's expression was also very calm, even though the list in his hand didn't have the so-called thirty-first compensation clause.
The large factions that had been indifferent all this time were finally moved at this moment. They could ignore the compensation of the resources from before, but it didn't mean that they could ignore the nomological fragments.
The previous resources were like a drop in the bucket for them. Their forces had been around for hundreds of thousands of years, so they didn't care about these resources at all. However, law fragments were different. These things were very rare, and they were very useful for Earth Origin Stage cultivators. Now, they were asking for one hundred and fifty of them, and it was limited to one person. It was no doubt like stabbing a knife into their heart, and then bleeding their heart.
"This doesn't make sense," the Jin family head immediately said.
"If it doesn't make sense, please point it out." Wang Shan calmly gestured for the other party to explain.
"We admit that we brought you a lot of trouble previously, and we also accept the compensation. However, the last clause says that it's because of us that your realm improvement is slow. But as far as I know, the speed of your realm improvement is almost godly. In less than a hundred years, you broke through from the Core Realm to the peak of the Human Realm. How can this be considered slow? We don't dare to say that this matter is reasonable, but we want to say that it's precisely because of the pressure we exerted that your realm improvement speed is so fast. Therefore, this compensation clause is very unreasonable."
Zi Chen stood up and said, "It is indeed unreasonable. I feel that 605 nomological fragments are too little. It should be 755, because without you, our cultivation speed would be even faster. Maybe we would have broken through to the peak of the Earth Origin Realm by now."
Looking at Zi Chen, who was so confident and so serious, the head of the Jin Clan was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He said with disdain, "What do you mean by Earth Origin Stage? Peak of Earth Origin Stage? Although you don't have any Earth Origin Stage warriors in your clan, there should be some in your allies. Didn't you try to find out about the Earth Origin Stage? Didn't you find out about the peak of the Earth Origin Stage? Peak of Earth Origin Stage?
What a joke. "This was the most direct rebuttal. The Jin family head's words were sonorous and forceful," The path of cultivation is as vast as the sea. One may not be able to enter the Emptiness Realm in thousands of years. How dare you boast that you can make a huge breakthrough in just a hundred years? Who do you think you are? What do you think the Earth Origin Realm is? "
Facing the rebuttal, Zi Chen smiled and said, "No matter what the Earth Origin Realm is, in short, 755 nomological fragments. Note: limited to each family."
"You!" The Jin family head was furious. The others' expressions were also ugly. This was obviously a threat.
In the end, they could only put the final decision on Xing Dao Li. After all, he was the one in charge.
Xing Dao Li opened his eyes and glanced at the family heads indifferently. The family heads trembled as if their thoughts had been seen through. They all lowered their heads.
"You should have guessed that they are inexperienced and will not ask for anything. I am asking for these nomological fragments for them. As for 755, you can consider whether it is more or less," Xing Dao Li said coldly.
The family heads were unhappy, but they did not dare to refute. To be honest, 755 nomological fragments were not worth as much as the Earth Origin Realm cultivators. If they were to calculate, Zi Chen did not ask for that much.
They originally wanted to fool him, but they did not expect Xing Dao Li to stand on Zi Chen's side. Moreover, since he had spoken, this matter was settled.
"Alright, we agree." The family had no choice but to agree.
"After the compensation is paid, the Wuji Sect will have no more grudges with you. I do not expect you to become allies, but do not scheme against each other."
"Of course we agree. Senior, please do not worry."
Xing Dao Li snorted and said, "Of course I am not worried. If you do not abide by the agreement, I will kill you. However, Zi Chen does not trust you. Therefore, according to what he told me, you need to sign a peace agreement. I can still stay in this world for another thousand years. Therefore, this peace agreement will last for another thousand years. During this period, if you break the agreement, I will personally come to you and ask for an explanation."
A thousand years was a buffer period. Although it was extremely beneficial for Zi Chen, it was not necessarily bad for the major forces. Their people had all gone to another world and might return after a thousand years. If there were any grudges, they could settle it at that time.
Moreover, for someone like Zi Chen, once he broke through to the Earth Origin Realm, this world would not be able to accommodate him. If he wanted to pursue more power, he would have to leave and go to another world. In the other world, there were many dangers. Even many Emptiness Realm Experts would die if they were not careful, let alone Zi Chen.
