The five elders of the Huo family gathered together with gloomy faces, each of them showing a bit of horror.
The leader, the old Jindan man, held a magic talisman in his hand. After looking at it for a while, he handed it to everyone present and said with a solemn expression: "The evil thief sent news that he wants to negotiate peace with us."
"impossible!"
Another man roared angrily, and said with a livid face: "The clan leader was just killed by them. With such a sworn hatred, how can we negotiate peace with him now to be worthy of the clan members who died in the war?"
As the man spoke, he noticed that the other people had different expressions on their faces. He simply stood up and said, "Do you really want to have peace talks?"
"It's not that we don't want revenge, it's just that our current form is inferior to others." A Jindan elder smiled bitterly. He looked at everyone and said, "With our strength, if we continue to fight against their husband and wife, we are just asking for death."
"Now we can only survive by being trapped in this family palace. If there is no peace talks, the family's property outside will be divided up by the other major golden elixir immortal clans in Tianmingzhou."
Several people also smiled bitterly when they heard this. The Huo family is one of the two most powerful golden elixir immortal clans in Tianming Continent, and the resources it occupies have long been coveted by countless people.
Once they are trapped in the family dojo, Huo's two fourth-level spiritual veins outside will not be able to protect them at all.
After thinking about this, the old man said again: "We are in the wrong for this battle. In addition, the clan leader with Nascent Soul qualifications has died. I'm afraid we won't be able to find help."
"For the current plan, we can only save the family by negotiating a peace with this person and signing a contract at a huge price."
The old man said with a wry smile, and several others also showed helpless expressions when they heard this.
Even the roaring man suppressed his anger and finally stopped speaking.
Seeing that the man stopped talking, the old man continued: "According to what Chen Nianzhi said in his letter, we will pay the three treasures of Dao pattern gemstones, Yuanci treasure bracelet, and emerald exquisite jade as compensation."
"In addition, twenty sky crystals must be provided as compensation for the defeat."
"Why didn't he grab it?"
The man couldn't help roaring again, his face showing a ferocious look.
Several other people were also filled with anger. The combined value of just the Taoist gems and two top-quality magic weapons exceeded 20 million spiritual stones.
With the addition of twenty heaven crystals, wouldn't the Huo family have to come up with 40 million spiritual stones this time, and this does not include the blue-gold glazed armor, the mountain and river fan, and the four-image formation flag that fell into Chen Nianzhi's hands.
As the top Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, the Huo family has accumulated thousands of years of foundation, and the wealth in the family treasury far exceeds that of ordinary people, but it cannot withstand such consumption.
In the past few years, Huo's attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm failed, but he consumed more than 30 Heavenly Crystals to purchase the Soul-Jointing Pill.
Although there are still seventeen Heavenly Crystals in the Huo clan's treasury, these were obtained by mortgaging a large amount of the family's property and no one of the hundreds of thousands of monks in the family contributed any money or effort.
Once twenty sky crystals are compensated, and all Taoist gems and other items are compensated, then one of the two fourth-level spiritual mountains mortgaged by the Huo family will definitely be sold, and the family's wealth will also be exhausted.
At that time, the entire Huo family's accumulated wealth over thousands of years will be completely consumed, and their future salary will become a big problem, and they may not even be able to completely recover within a thousand years.
Moreover, the spiritual stones owed to the clansmen cannot be repaid at all, and a large amount of them were paid for by the Jindan elders.
Thinking of this, the female cultivator in the middle stage of the golden elixir said with a cold face: "Then Chen Nianzhi is too big of a lion."
"The exquisite jadeite in my hand is an ancient treasure that has been passed down by my family for thousands of years. How can I let it go so easily?"
Over the past thousands of years, the Huo family has produced close to ten late-stage Golden Elixirs, and among them there are even four Golden Elixir Dzogchen. It can be said that they have accumulated a lot of knowledge, and they used to have a lot of fourth-level high-grade magic weapons.
It's just that four people successively bombarded the Nascent Soul Realm. Each failure consumed Huo's accumulated knowledge. Apart from the current formation of the Mountain Guard Formation, Huo only had two top-quality magic weapons left in his hands.
If the last two precious magic weapons were to be lost again, then the Huo family would probably be inferior to everyone in the future, and any monk in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir would have the guts to defeat them.
Seeing that the golden elixir female cultivator was unwilling to take out the exquisite emerald jade, the old man at the head could only smile bitterly and said: "I have a sound transmission mirror, go and talk to him."
"..."
Not long after, a cultivator from the Huo family's Zifu walked away from Lingshan with a pale face.
He arrived in front of Chen Nianzhi and said tremblingly: "Junior...Junior has met two ancestors."
"Yes." Chen Nianzhi opened his eyes and asked calmly: "Is the thing here?"
"senior."
The Huo family's Zifu was covered in cold sweat. He took out a precious mirror and said, "My ancestor wants to discuss something with you."
"Tianya sound transmission mirror?"
Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved slightly. The Tianya Sound Transmission Mirror needs to be fixed on the second-order spiritual veins and can be activated with the help of majestic spiritual energy.
However, with his magic power, it was not that troublesome. He just rolled it up and activated the Tianya Sound Mirror.
After the treasure mirror was activated, the scene in the hall opposite was revealed.
Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi, all the Jindan masters of the Huo family lowered their eyebrows. Even the man who had shown the most courage just now and roared to the sky lowered his head. For a moment, he didn't dare to speak.
After all, it was because of the reputation they gained from fighting that no one of them was a match for Chen Nianzhi just now out of five enemies. Now that without Huo Zhenyan in front, they were even more afraid of Chen Nianzhi's complete betrayal.
Seeing the abnormal expressions on several people's faces, Chen Nianzhi sneered. Compared to Huo Zhenyan's courage and courage, the courage of these people was far inferior.
No wonder Huo Zhenyan has hope of reaching the realm of Nascent Soul, but these people are still wasting their time in Jindan. It seems that they will never reach the realm of Nascent Soul in their lifetime.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Nianzhi is willing to negotiate with a few people because they are not a threat at all.
Thinking of this, he said calmly: "What else do you want to say?"
"Your Mightiness……"
Several people had different expressions, but the old man said after careful consideration: "The compensation you want is too much, and our Huo family simply cannot afford it now."
"Furthermore...the Yuanci treasure bracelet and the exquisite jadeite jade are ancient treasures that have been passed down by my Huo family for thousands of years. If we compensate them, I am afraid that our ancestors will not be able to tolerate us."
"So, you are not willing to give it?" Jiang Linglong frowned.
The golden elixir female cultivator mustered up her courage and said, "Your Excellency, you can't attack my Huo Family Dojo now. If you really try to force others to do something difficult, the worst we can do is stay on the mountain and not leave."
"Can't you still stay in front of my dojo for the rest of your life?"
"I understand you."
Chen Nianzhi listened quietly and nodded after a long time. The Huo family's spiritual veins were in the family hall.
The five elders of the Huo family gathered together with gloomy faces, each of them showing a bit of horror.
