Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1191 - 1177: Humiliating Clause, Sky-High Compensation! [Part 2]
Chapter 1191: Chapter 1177: Humiliating Clause, Sky-High Compensation! [Part 2]
"Go on, what exactly are your conditions..."
Duan Tianya’s face was dark enough to drip water.
This was the most humiliating moment of his life as he saw it.
For thousands of years.
When had he ever bowed his head to anyone?
When had he ever admitted defeat?
When had he ever compromised?
And now, facing someone like Xiao Yi, whom he had never taken seriously and could have crushed like an ant, he had to bow and compromise—this was simply a massive humiliation for him!
But as the Master of the Changsheng Sect said, if they continued to fight, it was likely they would both perish and come to a mutual end.
At least for now, he didn’t have that resolve.
"Mr. Duan, as long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn. We have plenty of opportunities to take revenge and avenge this dishonor!" The Master of the Changsheng Sect transmitted his voice in earnest, trying to comfort Duan Tianya.
Compared to Duan Tianya, the Master of the Changsheng Sect was much more shameless.
For years, the Changsheng Sect had been hiding, like a mouse in the street.
His reputation as the Master of the Changsheng Sect was naturally not much better.
Many called him a rat leader.
A mere compromise.
What’s the big deal?
Duan Tianya’s face remained dark as he angrily transmitted, "What infuriates me is this kid’s lack of respect..."
Humans live for dignity, trees live for their bark.
Given his current power, Duan Tianya was already at the pinnacle of the Qingtian Realm, and what he now cared more about was his face!
This was also why someone as ruthless as him, who had killed his wife for the Dao, would be so angry over the death of a disciple.
The Master of the Changsheng Sect patted Duan Tianya’s shoulder, comforting him, "Don’t mind it too much. Once you lose face enough times, you get used to it. Back in the day, this leader even crawled under someone else’s crotch, and look what became of it? In the end, didn’t he obediently help establish the Chang... uh..."
The Master of the Changsheng Sect hastily closed his mouth.
Duan Tianya was too lost in thought to hear the implication in his words.
Yet, Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at him thoughtfully.
"Ha, hahaha..."
The Master of the Changsheng Sect laughed to cover up, then turned to Xiao Yi and said, "Hurry up and state your conditions!"
Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze, the corners of his mouth curving slightly upwards, naming an exorbitant demand: "Both parties must compensate me with a hundred Ninth Grade Yuan weapons, ten thousand Ninth Grade pills, one trillion Source Stones, and ten sacred weapons..."
He continued listing his conditions.
Entirely ignoring the already charcoal-black faces of the Master of the Changsheng Sect and Duan Tianya.
The two clenched their fists, grinding their steel teeth, shaking with rage!
What kind of reconciliation terms were these?
It was clearly a plan to empty their houses!
Never mind Source Stones, pills, and Yuan weapons...
Even if they emptied all their Source Stones, they couldn’t gather a trillion!
Duan Tianya said with a dark face, "The conditions you mentioned, I absolutely cannot agree to..."
The Master of the Changsheng Sect gritted his teeth, "Your conditions are simply too outrageous, asking for the sky, we cannot agree!"
Xiao Yi responded with an indifferent sound, readying to fight to the death, "Since you disagree with our reconciliation terms, then let’s fight to the death! At worst, we both get injured!"
Duan Tianya and the others: "..."
Damn it!
Why must he bully people like this?
Grit!
Grinding his steel teeth, Duan Tianya emitted an ear-piercing sound, enunciating clearly, "I can agree to the Ninth Grade Yuan weapons and pills. The most we can compensate in Source Stones is one billion, and three sacred weapons..."
"One billion? Three sacred weapons? Are you treating me like a beggar?"
Xiao Yi glared, pointing at the three next to Master Nantian, "The price of just these three taking action isn’t even that low, is it? Clearly, you have no intention of reconciliation, so let’s fight to the death!"
"...&*()"
The two were about to break down.
Is this how negotiations go?
Always ready to fight to the death?
Just then...
The Master Nantian, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke, "Xiao Yi, Mr. Duan, why don’t you both give me some face and take a step back?"
"His demands are too high, I can’t accept them!" Duan Tianya retorted coldly.
"Since Master Nantian has spoken, of course Xiao Yi won’t dishonor your face!"
Xiao Yi grinned, then said, "The Ninth Grade pills and Yuan weapons can’t be reduced, for Source Stones compensate with a hundred billion, plus five sacred weapons. This is already a huge concession considering Master Nantian’s face. If you still disagree, then it’ll have to be a fight to the death!"
Seeing Xiao Yi’s reluctantly charitable demeanor, Duan Tianya was close to breaking his steel teeth.
Master Nantian held back laughter, coughed lightly, and said, "Mr. Duan, Xiao Yi has indeed shown great sincerity, what do you say?"
Sincerity, my ass!
If he were sincere, would he talk about fighting to the death at every turn?
But he couldn’t voice these thoughts...
Duan Tianya said with a dark face, "Fine, I agree to your terms..."
"I agree too!" The Master of the Changsheng Sect said, crestfallen.
What they thought would be a simple conquest of the Baiyu might have even built connections with Duan Tianya to plot the entire Qingtian Realm.
In the end, they gained nothing good, but lost such a large fortune instead.
Truly, they lost the rice to lure the chickens!
Duan Tianya said, "We still need time to prepare these items..."
"You two are both renowned in the Qingtian Realm, I naturally trust your reputations. So..."
As Xiao Yi spoke, he took out a scroll of beast skin, writing a promissory note and handing it to them, "Come on, sign your grand names and leave your divine imprint! It’s not that I don’t trust you, but having a promissory note can prevent many issues, wouldn’t you agree?"
The two kept their faces dark throughout, unwilling to glance at Xiao Yi.
If he truly trusted them, he wouldn’t have asked them to sign and seal this thing!
But circumstances forced them.
The two had to bite the bullet, writing their names and imprinting their divine sense on the promissory note.
Xiao Yi, satisfied, put the promissory note away, smiling, "Well, please return and don’t forget to prepare the items within a month and send them to Nantian’s Sanctuary. If I don’t receive them in time, don’t blame me for coming with the promissory note..."
"Hmph!"
The two snorted coldly, having no face left to stay, tore space and left.
Huff!
Master Nantian let out a deep breath, his tense nerves relaxing, as he had already prepared himself for serious injury or even death had it come to a fight with the two.
Thankfully, everything ended without a hitch!
Master Nantian said, "Finally, it’s over!"
"Over?"
Xiao Yi smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth curving up with a wicked smirk, his cold gaze directed toward the distant crowd, a frosty killing intent flashing in his eyes, "This is just the beginning!"
