Chapter 1392

Everyone from both sides had arrived, and the real confrontation began. Powerful auras appeared in the sky.

Zi Chen stood in the air, while Dong Qing and Shangguan Hong stood on either side of him. Man Shi and Wu Xie stood next to him, and finally, the two brothers and Jia Wei stood behind them.

At that moment, everyone's gazes were coldly fixed ahead.

Seeing this, Jia Wei could not help but sigh in admiration. As expected of Zi Chen. As soon as he appeared, he managed to unite the entire group.

Zi Chen only had eight people on his side, while the other three groups still had over a hundred people.

However, in this confrontation, Zi Chen's group of eight clearly had the upper hand.

In the distance, the cultivators from the other groups all quietly watched this scene, as if they were holding their breaths.

Soon, a true battle of life and death would take place here.

The atmosphere became more and more oppressive. Just as it reached a limit, a voice suddenly appeared, easing the oppressive atmosphere a little.

"I think we can talk." The one who spoke was Yan Fen from Yanbo Castle.

"How?" Zi Chen looked at him indifferently.

Yan Fen took a deep breath and said, "We have more people."

Zi Chen sneered and said, "I promise I won't leave a single person alive."

"I believe that, but we have more people. We can't just stand there and let you kill us. Moreover … it's been two years. We're no longer the three groups from two years ago," Miao Zhendong continued.

Zi Chen turned around and glanced at the people on his side, then looked at Miao Zhendong and said, "We've also gained quite a bit in the past two years."

"You people from Huping City are indeed very strong, but if you want to kill us, you'll have to pay a price. I think we need to minimize our losses. For this, we can have a good talk." Wan Xiong continued.

"How can we talk? I'll let you go."

Zi Chen's gaze became cold. "If I let you go, how am I going to answer to my dead brothers? How am I going to answer to the people of Huping City?"

As the leaders of both sides spoke, the others did not speak. This was because they all believed that their leaders could handle this matter well.

In the distance, hearing the voice that was not suppressed at all, the expressions of all the forces changed in the next moment.

"These three forces are actually going to compromise. A grand team of several hundred people actually compromised in front of eight people." A voice that was clearly filled with astonishment rang out from the direction of Xue An City.

Hearing the discussions behind him, Xue Ming softly laughed and said, "Although it is very embarrassing to choose to compromise in such a situation, I have to admit that this is the best choice."

Behind Xue Ming, a burly man said, "That's true, but even if they don't compromise, would Zi Chen really dare to fight them to the death? Could it be that he really doesn't care about his companions who are still alive, and only wants to avenge his dead companions?"

In the current situation, it was a battle between eight people and hundreds of people. Even if Zi Chen could guarantee that he would not die, the seven people beside him dared to do the same.

If it was just Zi Chen alone, everyone naturally believed that Zi Chen would fight to the end. However, there were seven people behind Zi Chen, so he naturally had to consider the lives of these seven people.

At this moment, although the three forces were going to compromise, and although this was a bit embarrassing, they definitely had full confidence because of Zi Chen.

They believed that this battle would definitely not start.

As expected, as the discussion continued, Wan Xiong said, "As cultivators, life and death is an extremely normal phenomenon. We came here to become stronger, and in the process of becoming stronger, it is inevitable that we will meet with mishaps and fall. There are some grudges between us, but frankly speaking, all of these grudges are because of benefits. If you feel that you can't account for it when you go back, we can definitely give you some compensation."

After saying this, Wan Xiong and the other two looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen was expressionless. Behind him, the others were also expressionless.

"Compensation." A faint smile appeared on Zi Chen's face, and then he said, "This is something that we can discuss."

The oppressive atmosphere in the room was clearly eased by Zi Chen's words.

Among Zi Chen's group of eight, besides Jia Wei who was a bit surprised and Wu Xie who was furious, the others' expressions did not change much. It was as if they were not surprised by Zi Chen's answer.

"As expected."

Wan Xiong and the other two looked at each other, and a cold smile flashed across their eyes. They had already guessed that Zi Chen would agree, and since he had agreed, they naturally would not give too much compensation. Both sides only needed a process.

As for why they wanted to compromise.

The reason was very simple. The three forces did not want any more deaths, and Zi Chen's side only had eight people in total from the two cities. They did not want any more deaths.

Therefore, a truce and compromise was the most correct choice.

There was an uproar in the distance. No one thought that they would really compromise.

Just a moment ago, both sides were fighting to the death, and couldn't wait to kill everyone. But in the next moment, they actually stopped fighting and might even become friends.

Amidst the uproar, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. As expected, the biggest rule in this world was that benefits were paramount.

As long as there was profit to be made, what did hatred matter?

Wan Xiong was full of confidence. He coughed lightly and said, "As for compensation, we are prepared to give …"

Before Wan Xiong could finish, Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say anything. I only want one thing. I don't want anything else."

A trace of vigilance flashed across Wan Xiong's eyes, and the other two's expressions were somewhat unnatural. Wan Xiong asked, "What do you want?"

Zi Chen looked back at them and then asked, "Is there any news of the others?"

When they heard this, they all lowered their heads, then shook their heads and sighed. Of the people who came, except for the eight present, the rest were all dead.

Liu Wei was dead, and so was Wang Jun.

Zi Chen nodded to show that he understood. Then, he turned to the three people from the three factions and said, "You know best how many people you killed. The compensation I want is very simple. Give each of you a Void Tree, and I will bring it to their families to ask for forgiveness."

When Zi Chen said this, the world fell silent, and a trace of astonishment appeared on the faces of all the cultivators.

"What? What do you want?" The leaders of the three factions were also astonished. Wan Xiong also asked again.

"A Void Tree for each of the dead," Zi Chen repeated, his voice indifferent.

In the next moment, the silent world burst into an uproar.

Originally, everyone had guessed that Zi Chen would ask for the Void Tree personally, but they all guessed that the murderers would commit suicide. They never expected that Zi Chen would ask for a Void Tree.

What was a Void Tree?

It was a true supreme treasure, something completely priceless.

Not to mention the few people who had died, even if everyone present died, they might not be able to exchange for a Void Tree.

"This Zi Chen seemed to be very loyal at first, but I didn't expect him to be so greedy. He wants a Void Tree, and he wants one for each person. He doesn't even think about whether those people are worth it."

"Definitely not. This Zi Chen is really greedy."

"I didn't expect Zi Chen to be such a greedy person."

In the distance, voices of discussion sounded, and their expressions became very disdainful.

However, there were also some people who were even more disdainful. However, their disdain was not for Zi Chen, but for those who were discussing.

Are they stupid?

Can't they understand Zi Chen's true meaning?

Obviously, Zi Chen did not want to negotiate at all.

"Don't you think you are too greedy? A Void Tree for each person. You really dare to ask," Yan Fen said coldly. Obviously, he had also guessed Zi Chen's intention.

"Greedy? In my eyes, their lives are much more precious than a Void Tree," Zi Chen said coldly.

Behind Zi Chen, several people's expressions instantly turned cold, and a wave of dense killing intent seeped out of their bodies.

The surprise on Jia Wei's face had long disappeared. This was the real Zi Chen, and there was no way he would compromise.

"Let's fight." A sinister smile appeared on Wu Xie's face, and his expression seemed a little crazy.

During the conversation just now, they had recovered a lot from their original injuries.

"Zi Chen, you have to think clearly. We can still give you some compensation now, and both sides don't have to fight to the death. If you insist on fighting, we will definitely not let you have an easy time even if we have to suffer heavy casualties," Yan Fen said coldly.

Yan Fen coldly said. Dense killing intent surged from the bodies of the cultivators behind him.

Zi Chen looked at Yan Fen in front of him and said indifferently, "When Yanbo Castle schemed against Huping City, I swore that I would kill all the cultivators from Yanbo Castle this time. So, even if we have to fight to the death, we will annihilate all the people from Yanbo Castle. As for your two cities, since you've already killed so many of our people, I naturally won't let you go."

Wan Xiong and Miao Zhendong's faces turned incomparably ashen. Wan Xiong said coldly, "Zi Chen, don't forget that you only have eight people, while we have a group. You can't kill us. On the contrary, if you let us escape, you will have to face the full force of the cultivators from the three cities."

Zi Chen sneered. "Thank you for your reminder, so I plan to not leave a single one of you alive this time."

"Is that even possible?" Wan Xiong said in disdain.

Zi Chen glanced at Wan Xiong indifferently, and then he turned to look at the cultivators in the distance. After that, his cold voice resounded, "Formation Masters come from many cities. I'm not interested in knowing why you're scheming against the people of Huping City. I intend to let bygones be bygones, but that's on the premise that your people can stop the three forces. I don't need you to kill anyone, just don't let them escape."

As Zi Chen's words fell, the expressions of the leaders of those factions immediately changed. As for the three factions, there was also some commotion.

Zi Chen retracted his gaze and looked at the three forces again. Then, a cold murderous voice sounded in the sky.

"Kill."

The voice echoed through the surroundings. With Zi Chen in the lead and seven others supporting him, the group charged towards the group of several hundred people.
