4479 Compensation

Demi Saint

Zhong Yue naturally knew that the Zhong clan and the Leng clan could not afford to offend a demi Saint. As such, he was forced to take a step back. This was the first time he, the arrogant Young Master of Mount Tais Zhong clan, had to lower himself.

Sir, how can we compensate you? Zhong Yue asked Duan Ling Tian earnestly after taking a deep breath. At this time, his arrogance had been replaced by humbleness. Although he could not confirm 100% that Duan Ling Tian had the support of a demi Saint, it was better to be safe than sorry.

You should know that every action has its consequences, Duan Ling Tian said indifferently as he looked at Zhong Yue, I heard that the Zhong clan has control over the Valley of Bliss. Ill let this matter go in exchange for nine stalks of Blissful Flower King.

!!

After a pause, Duan Ling Tian looked at Leng Jing before he continued to say, As for the Leng clan, its renowned for its Northern Nether Winter Cod. I want three lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod.

The Blissful Flower King and the Northern Nether Winter Cod were very rare and valuable. They could raise the cultivation of those below the realm of advanced Supreme G.o.ds. Advanced Supreme G.o.ds could boost their strength with these things as well, but it would be too wasteful. The Zhong clan and Leng clan naturally did not simply let their advanced Supreme G.o.ds use these things in such a manner.

Zhong Yue and Leng Jings expressions darkened as soon as they heard Duan Ling Tians words.

The Northern Nether Winter Cod was hard to raise, and it cost the Leng clan a huge fortune to raise them. Moreover, lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod was rare. In the past 10,000 years, the Leng clan only managed to breed to lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod. Currently, the Leng clan only had a total of 10 lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod. Needless to say, they were the Leng clans most valuable and prized resource.

Similarly, the Blissful Flower King was the Zhong clans most valuable and prized resource.

Alas, although Zhong Yue thought Duan Ling Tian was being greedy, he could only swallow his anger. After all, he was afraid of further offending Duan Ling Tian.

At the same time, Leng Jing complained through Voice Transmission, Zhong Yue, I got dragged into this matter because of you. You should bear the cost for this.

Leng Jing truly regretted meddling in this matter. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him or the Leng clan after all.

Zhong Yue replied with a sneer, Leng Jing, I didnt ask for your help. You insisted on coming along and watching the show. Although I had the intention, you were also pus.h.i.+ng me to do it, right? How dare you push all the responsibility to me now that things have gone south?

Zhong Yue was naturally furious. In fact, he thought that Leng Jing was not very reliable so he had asked for help from a few elders in the Zhong clan. From the very beginning, Leng Jing had been very eager to join him. How could he not be angry now that Leng Jing was trying to push all the responsibility onto him?

Zhong Yue took a deep breath to calm down. Perhaps he was so angered by Leng Jing that he did not even bother to negotiate with Duan Ling Tian. He said, Sir, Ill have to return to the Zhong clan to get the Blissful Flower Kings for you.

Alright, Ill wait for you, Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. He was not surprised that Zhong Yue did not carry so many Blissful Flower Kings on him. He was also not worried about Zhong Yue going back on his words since he had a feeling that Zhong Yue was under the impression that he had the protection of a demi Saint.

Ill return with the Blissful Flower Kings as soon as I can, Zhong Yue said with a nod before he led his men away.

The members of the Zhong clan who came with high spirits looked dispirited and embarra.s.sed now when they left.

In just a moment, only Leng Jing was left with Duan Ling Tian and Hu Fei Yan.

Duan Ling Tian s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Leng Jing, and Hu Fei Yan followed suit.

Leng Jing shuddered inwardly now that he was facing two powerful cultivators who could easily kill him. He hastily said, Ill return to the Leng clan and bring you the lord-grade three Northern Nether Winter Cod at once.

As though he was afraid Duan Ling Tian would change his mind, Leng Jing left quickly.

After Leng Jing left, Duan Ling Tian looked at Hu Fei Yan speechlessly for a moment before he asked, Didnt you say that theyd try to bargain with me? Were my demands too low? I shouldve demanded more then

Clearly, Hu Fei Yan was the one who came up with the idea to demand the Blissful Flower Kings and Northern Nether Winter Cod from the Zhong clan and the Leng clan respectively. Earlier, she had told Duan Ling Tian that they were very rare and valuable resources. One would be extremely lucky to obtain one lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod or three stalks of Blissful Flower Kings.

I Hu Fei Yan was speechless as well. She did not expect that Zhong Yue and Leng Jing would not bargain with Duan Ling Tian at all. She wondered again if they were really convinced that Duan Ling Tian was under the protection of a demi Saint.

Thats the only explanation that makes sense Otherwise, its impossible for them not to try and bargain at all Hu Fei Yan thought to herself.

A hint of envy could be seen in Hu Fei Yans eyes as she looked at Duan Ling Tian again. After all, even supreme powerhouses would covet nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings and three lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cods.

At the same time, Zhong Yue, who was returning to the Zhong clan, wore an unsightly expression on his face. He did not expect that he would be inferior to Duan Ling Tian in both strength and background.

Junior brother, Im in deep trouble because of you

Zhong Yue truly regretted trying to avenge his junior brother at this moment. He could already imagine how furious his father would be once his father learned about this matter. After all, he had caused the Zhong clan to lose nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings. Due to his mistake, his father would be criticized by the elders of the Zhong clan.

After all, similar to the Northern Nether Winter Cod, the Blissful Flower King was extremely rare and valuable, even to supreme powerhouses.

I must choose my words carefully later I cant let this matter be traced back to the Zhong clan Ill have to make the Leng clan my scapegoat, Zhong Yue thought to himself as the corners of his lips curled up into a sinister smile.

At the same time, Leng Jing, who was also returning to the Leng clan, thought to himself gloomily, Eldest Senior Uncle is going to be criticized because of me I shouldnt have gone to watch the show Why didnt I leave with Linghu Yun Di earlier?

Needless to say, Zhong Yue and Leng Jing caused a huge commotion in their respective clans when they returned. The high-ranking officials of both clans could only unwillingly hand over nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings and three lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod.

The Zhong clans high-ranking officials did not doubt Zhong Yues words since there were three other members of the Zhong clan who testified for him. As such, the clan quickly gave him the nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings and sent him off.

On the contrary, a few elders of the Leng clan insisted on following Leng Jing under the pretext of protecting him. Leng Jing naturally knew that the elders were suspicious and worried that he was lying to obtain the three lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod for himself.
