Hearing those words, that Zhou Family’s family head was also furious.
He clenched his teeth before he said, “However, that female is indeed powerful, she killed the Huang family head in a few clicks, if it were me, even if I could kill the Huang family head, I wouldn’t be able to kill him so quickly!”
Speaking here, he paused before continuing, “Therefore, those other clans that saw the wind at their backs, it makes sense for them to run off and pay their offerings.”
The second elder then said, “It’s really bad luck, after two or three days, it would have been the day to hand over the offerings, if we wait for two days, those clans, have already handed over this year’s offerings, it’s impossible for us to quit, besides, if they hand it over to us, it would show our status, at that time, that clan’s people, knowing about the rules, may still come over to giveus hand over offerings!”
The Grand Elder’s face was in agreement, “Isn’t that so? It’s really exasperating, to meet such a thing at this juncture.”
“What to do? All the others have gone, if we don’t go, the other party will be unhappy!”
“But if we go, it’s like we’re admitting that we’re not as good as them, wouldn’t that be humiliating as well?”
“Besides, the three of us at the 9th rank of the Heaven Breaking Realm, can’t we beat that female? Moreover, we are definitely outnumbered by their clan, that courtyard, I know, is quite big, but it would be good to have two thousand people living in it at most. This means that their disciples, there might be less than two thousand of them!”
The third elder was the smartest, and at this time, carefully analysed the current situation.
“The third elder is right, if we go, it’s the same as bowing to them, if we don’t go, we are afraid that the other party is more powerful than us and will not be happy, all the others have gone, right?”
The First Elder nodded and then said.
The Zhou Family Master, on the other hand, had been frowning and was in deep thought.
However, after a while, he came up with a solution, and his heart rejoiced, “I do have a solution, however, in that case, it might be a bit risky for us, but with wealth and riches, I think it’s perfectly fine to put up a fight!”
“What solution?”
The Grand Elder and the others, immediately looked over, they had scratched their heads and didn’t know what to do, they didn’t think that the Family Head would actually be so resourceful and think of a way so quickly.
Only then did the Zhou Family Master coldly smile, “Why don’t we pretend to show them weakness first, and go over and hand over this year’s offerings to them!”
“What!”
When the three elders heard this, they were instantly offended, in their opinion, there were quite a few Heaven Breaking Realm powerhouses in their family, moreover, there were also three Heaven Breaking Realm Ninth Grade powerhouses, and there were more people than the other party, so if they really fought, they were the ones who had the advantage.
Now, the family head actually came up with such a disgraceful method, they were naturally unhappy.
“Don’t be anxious, you guys, I haven’t finished yet!”
The Zhou family head smiled and said again, “If we go over there, we won’t offend them, and if we hand over the offerings, this task of guarding our Flying Dragon City will be handed over to them won’t it, and when there are demonic beasts attacking the city, it’s time for them to step in. This just happens to be a time to test them, if they are good, they should be able to deal with a demonic beast of the ninth grade of the Heaven Breaking Realm, right? No, two, if they can handle it, we’ll resign ourselves to our fate. If they can’t deal with it, and we step in and drive these two demonic beasts away or kill them, at that time, do they still have the nerve to be number one? Still have the nerve to collect offerings?”
After hearing this, the third elder’s eyes immediately lit up, and his heart also came to a sudden realisation: “Wonderful, family head, this method of yours, is really too wonderful, haha, at that time, when the demonic beasts come, and they can’t deal with them, we just don’t make a move in the beginning, and look at how their fighting strength is, and they can’t deal with them, and then we make a move, and drive them away, and it is unlikely to be be able to be killed, after all, a Heaven Breaking RealmA demonic beast of the ninth grade of the Heaven Breaking Realm is too powerful, I think two heads are too risky, one head is enough, after all, a demonic beast of the ninth grade of the Heaven Breaking Realm, it takes two or three ninth grades of the Heaven Breaking Realm to deal with it! Two heads, in case we get killed, that would be more than worth it!”
The Grand Elder also said, “Family Master, two heads is too risky, one head, we still have a chance to kill that demonic beast, a show of our power, and at that time, that whatsoever sect, knowing how powerful we are, he himself feels that he shouldn’t be able to collect the offerings, because we are the strongest!”
“Alright, let’s do it!”
The Zhou Family’s people, after discussing the matter, one by one, they prepared their offerings, and then quickly arrived at the Earth Sect’s location.
“The Zhou Family Head, why are they here as well?”
“Could it be that they also feel that they are inferior to this Earth Sect?”
Quite a few family lords, after seeing the female disciple slowly walking with the Zhou Family’s people, immediately softly discussed.
In their opinion, the Zhou Family’s people, who had collected offerings for so many years, were already extremely powerful, and such a large piece of fat meat would not be easily given away?
“It couldn’t be that they’re here to look for trouble, right? It’s possible oh!”
After thinking about it, the Wang Family Head couldn’t help but mutter, after all, the Zhou Family really wasn’t weak, I don’t know if they were now two Heaven Breaking Ninth Grade or three Heaven Breaking Realm Ninth Grade, and last time, the Second Elder said that he had impacted the Heaven Breaking Realm Ninth Grade I don’t know if he had succeeded or not.
Therefore, they definitely wouldn’t directly submit so quickly.
Seeing that the other party was already very close, the other family lords, one by one, closed their mouths.
“Aiyo, I didn’t expect it, here, there are actually more than twenty big and small family lords gathered already! Quite lively!”
The Zhou Family’s Grand Elder, after coming to a stop in front of him, said in a conspiratorial manner.
Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with the approach of these family lords, if these family lords directly went to them to hand over their offerings, they could pretend that they didn’t know about the Earth Sect’s matter.
By the time the Earth Sect knew about it, they would instead be forced to go over and pay the offerings.
And now, they actually had to come over with a thick skin.
“I heard that you are called the Earth Sect, and you are the sect leader, right?”
The second elder was naturally unconvinced and looked at Bai Ruyun and said coldly.
“I’m the Vice Sovereign, and this is the Sovereign of our Earth Sect! Qin Li!”
Bai Ruyun smiled and introduced himself to the other party.
At this instant, the Zhou Family Master and the Grand Elder, all of them, one by one, froze… this woman, was actually only the Vice Sovereign, wouldn’t that mean that this Sovereign, was most likely a few points more powerful than that woman?
Only then did the Zhou Family Lord smile, “Zhou Family Lord, meet Patriarch Qin, in the future, we are all forces in a city, we still hope that we share the same honour and disgrace, don’t hurt the peace.”
“Greetings, Family Lord Zhou!”
Qin Li smiled, before turning to the other party and saying, “I wonder, does Family Lord Zhou have something to do with bringing so many elders over this time?”
“Hehe, of course there is something!”
Although he was very upset in his heart, the Zhou Family Master’s face was smiling as he said, “I believe that you all know about it, on our side, there is a rule that we have to pay offerings to the strongest and biggest forces. And after this offering is paid, this biggest power, when it meets danger, when there are demonic beasts threatening our Flying Dragon City, it takes the initiative to come forward to protect our safety, and play the role of a leading sheep!”
Qin Li couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard this, the other party even specifically emphasised it?
Bai Ruyun also frowned, “Could it be that you all came over to pay your offerings as well?”
“Of course, everyone trusts you, so we naturally trust you as well, believing that you will protect us!”
The Zhou Family Lord nodded, and with a flip of his palm, he took out a nano-ring, “Inside this is my Zhou Family’s offerings, and I’d like to ask the Qin Family Lord to be able to hand them over.”
Those other family lords, one by one, were all stunned, wondering if they had misread the situation, the Zhou family lord “has always done things very strongly, I didn’t expect that, but actually came over, and moreover, took the initiative to come over to hand over the offerings.
Doesn’t this mean that the Zhou Family has admitted that they are inferior to the Earth Sect? Doesn’t it mean that he admits that he is inferior and is willing to take the power to collect offerings in the future and hand them over to the Earth Sect?
“Please, Sovereign Qin, take it!”
Those other family lords, one by one, also took out their prepared Nascent Sacred Rings and handed them out.
Only, what they could not have imagined was that Qin Li was smiling faintly, “I see, such things as offerings, it’s better to be exempted!”
“Exempt, exempt?”
When the crowd heard this, they all looked puzzled, no mistake, so many cultivation resources ah, everyone’s can add up to quite a lot, we must know that there are smaller clans that haven’t come over yet, and it is estimated that there are still people who will be coming in the afternoon!
Qin Li actually said, exempt!
