Chapter 246 Extortion

After all, the ten major families have been standing in Beichuan for hundreds of years, and each family has full heritage and pride.

Now that the ten major families have joined forces, it can be said that the entire Beichuan is in the palm of their hands.

You, Yuntian City, actually want to make the ten major families surrender?

It's more exaggerated than a dream.

It's simply outrageous.

Ridiculously outrageous.

There is nothing more outrageous than this.

But the people here in Yuntian City are completely different.

All of them were extremely excited, with excitement on their faces.

"How domineering! I, Yuntian City, am so domineering!"

"It seems that we have made the right decision to seek refuge in Yuntian City!"

"In the past, the top ten families were unattainable in my eyes, but now they are nothing."

"That's right! Our Yuntian City is the most powerful in Beichuan!"

...

Listening to the words of these people from Yuntian City, Zhou Lin's heart sank.

He knew that today's negotiations were really going to collapse.

What should I do?

Once the negotiations collapse, the conflict between the ten major families and Yuntian City will not be resolved at all.

On the contrary, it deepened even more.

Zhou Linxin thinks quickly.

I soon had an idea.

"Yuntian City wants the top ten families to join? This is not realistic."

Zhou Lin shook his head and said.

"Oh? Then is it realistic for Yuntian City to be controlled by the top ten families?"

The old blind man asked immediately.

Zhou Lin frowned and sighed deeply.

"Then it's better for both of you and I to take a step back."

The old blind man did not speak.

Seeing this, Zhou Lin continued to speak.

"You and I each take a step back. Yuntian City will no longer recruit people from Beichuan and maintain the status quo. The ten major families will not place any restrictions on Yuntian City."

This is already the final bottom line for the top ten families.

This time they negotiated with Yuntian City, and the minimum was to allow Yuntian City to maintain the status quo and not recruit other Beichuan warriors.

And the ten major families will turn a blind eye to Yuntian City.

Don't interfere too much.

There will be no pressure.

Both sides maintain a balance.

From the perspective of the top ten families, it is considered very generous for them to do this.

I think Yuntian City would not refuse to accept it.

The old blind man was not surprised.

Before this negotiation began, he had guessed the intentions of the ten major families.

You can also get a feel for the bottom line of the top ten families.

That's why he said those words without any scruples.

Because he knew that as long as the bottom line of the top ten families was not completely crossed, the top ten families would never fall out.

As for why the ten major families joined Yuntian City, it was purely to make the ten major families angry.

No one would take this seriously.

If the ten major families really all join Yuntian City, then Yuntian City will be equivalent to unifying Beichuan.

It directly completed the great cause of eternity.

However, how can the great cause of eternity be accomplished so easily?

The old blind man and Chu Hanyang traveled thousands of miles to Beichuan to assist Guo Xiaoyun in establishing a foundation here.

It is to complete Guo Xiaoyunnan's mission as the Huangren Emperor.

The Emperor of the Southern Wilderness established his business from the north.

This is what the hexagram shows.

"It's not impossible for both sides to not interfere with each other."

The old blind man said this.

Zhou Lin's eyes lit up.

There's drama!

"But..."

The old blind man changed the subject, with a sly look on his face.

"But what?"

Zhou Lin was a little uneasy.

I don’t know what else the old blind man will say.

"However, our Yuntian City's foundation is not stable after all, and there are so many people, so in terms of resources..."

Having said this, the old blind man chuckled.

The meaning is already self-evident.

This would be as good as directly asking for resources from the top ten families.

The members of the ten major families are as black as the bottom of a pot.

This is too thick-skinned.

Why don't you just grab it?

Zhou Lin was also speechless for a while.

"Yuntian City doesn't lack resources, right?"

The old blind man looked surprised.

"There is a shortage! There is a huge shortage."

"We, the cultivators in Yuntian City, are in too much poverty and have no resources at all."

"If things continue like this, our people in Yuntian City will feel uneasy, and we are afraid that trouble will arise."

Zhou Lin was completely speechless.

He finally figured it out.

In this negotiation, I want to restrict Yuntian City.

And what about Yuntian City?

Going around and around, just to extort a sum of resources from the top ten families.

Zhou Lin couldn't make the decision without permission, so he could only discuss it with the heads of the ten major families.

The negotiations are hereby suspended for the time being.

The patriarchs of the ten major families went to another place to discuss with Zhou Lin.

And the old blind man also returned to Guo Xiaoyun.

Yueying looked at the old blind man with some surprise.

She didn't expect that this old man, who looked unattractive and a bit wretched, could be so extraordinary.

Even his eloquence is so great.

"Which sect is your senior from?"

Yueying couldn't help but ask.

The old blind man glanced at Yueying.

"Junior Brother Chu and I are both from the Tiance Sect."

Tiancemen!

Hearing this name, Yueying was shocked.

The old blind man and Chu Hanyang are actually the descendants of the famous Tiance Sect?

Tiance Sect is not an ordinary sect.

It is a mysterious sect that deduces heavenly secrets and peeps into the past and future.

When it was at its peak, even the powerful men who dominated the area had to be in awe of the Tiance Sect.

Moreover, the Tiance Sect’s deeds in predicting the future of the Tang Dynasty made the Tiance Sect’s prestige even louder.

As a member of the Xuanhuang Sect, Yueying has naturally heard of the name Tiance Sect.

Meng Youran also patrolled the descendants of Tiance Sect back then.

It's a pity that it has never been found.

I always feel sorry.

Yueying didn't expect that the successor of Tiance Sect would be right in front of her now.

The wait didn't take long.

Soon, the heads of the ten major families came out.

Zhou Lin came to the table again.

Naturally, the old blind man also walked over.

"how?"

The old blind man asked proactively.

Zhou Lin's expression was complicated.

"The heads of the family agreed."

The old blind man nodded.

"That's good."

"But I don't know how many resources the top ten families can give us to Yuntian City?"

Zhou Lin didn't say anything and just took out a jade slip.

"The numbers are all here, see for yourselves."

The jade slip was handed over to the old blind man.

The old blind man took the jade slip and looked at it with a look of satisfaction.

"That's great. This is the first resource."

Zhou Lin was startled.

"What did you say?"

The old blind man: "The first resource has been decided like this, what? Are there any other questions?"

Zhou Lin was furious: "What is the first resource? This is all the resources given by the top ten families!"

The old blind man's eyes widened with a look of astonishment.

"No way? After all, the ten major families are also big and powerful. Do you ten families combined only give you this little? I thought it was just the first batch of resources."

Top Ten Families: "..."

Zhou Lin: "..."

The old blind man put the jade slip back in front of Zhou Lin.

"It seems that the top ten families are not very sincere."

Zhou Lin's face twitched.

"Then what do you want?"

The old blind man smiled slightly.

"According to the resources on this jade slip, one copy will come every three months, five copies in total."
