108: Demanding debts from the two great dynasties
"Yi'er, this Old Ancestor intends for the Xuan Yue Dynasty to submit to the Qingtian Sect. What are your thoughts on this?"
After a fierce internal struggle, the Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty finally made up his mind.
The Xuan Yue Dynasty had a Legacy in the Southern Region for tens of thousands of years; if they just moved away, that tens of thousands of years of management would instantly collapse.
Even with his leadership, they couldn't establish another Xuan Yue Dynasty elsewhere.
So, he intended to submit to the Qingtian Sect and pay tribute to the Qingtian Sect every year, which could preserve the foundation of the Dugu clan.
Although this would mean being under the control of the Qingtian Sect, it was better than starting over.
"Old Ancestor, since you have already decided, Yi'er dares not have any objections, but will the Qingtian Sect accept us?"
Dugu Yi did not express his own opinion, but threw out another question.
As the ceiling of the Imperial Dynasty, the Old Ancestor's decision was not something he could change; asking him was just a formality, so he considered whether the Qingtian Sect would accept them.
After all, the Qingtian Sect possessed a Great Emperor Expert and might not look favorably upon their Imperial Dynasty, which only had a Quasi-Emperor Ancestor.
"That situation shouldn't happen. A force submitting like this is equivalent to giving away resources for free and obeying orders. As long as the Qingtian Sect hasn't reached the point where they don't need resources, I think they won't refuse," the Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty said after hesitating for a moment.
Although the Qingtian Sect had a Great Emperor Expert, the Disciples of the Sect also needed resources to Cultivate.
After they submitted, they would have to pay a large amount of resources every year. As long as the Qingtian Sect still needed resources, they shouldn't refuse.
After all, the Qingtian Sect only needed to provide a name, without needing to pay anything actual.
"Old Ancestor is wise! Yi'er will go to the Qingtian Sect to negotiate right away." Dugu Yi agreed and prepared to leave the secret room.
How could he not know these principles? The Xuan Yue Dynasty also had many subsidiary forces, but submitting to an Imperial Sect was the first time for him.
Who knew what the result would be?
"Slow down!"
The Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty called Dugu Yi to stop, sighed, and said, "I'd better go personally. Your weight is too low, and you might not attract the attention of the Qingtian Sect."
Although Dugu Yi was the Emperor of the Xuan Yue Dynasty, his Cultivation was still too low.
The Qingtian Sect was an Imperial Sect; once they accepted them, there would be many conveniences in the future, so he prepared to go personally to avoid Dugu Yi messing things up.
"Yes, Old Ancestor!"
Seeing that his Old Ancestor was going personally, Dugu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid of not handling this matter well. Now that the Old Ancestor was going personally, even if there was any responsibility, it wouldn't be blamed on him.
The Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty didn't say much more, walked out of the secret room, turned into a stream of light, shot into the sky, and flew towards the Qingtian Sect.
This time it was just to negotiate, so one person was enough, so he didn't intend to bring anyone to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Qingtian Sect Main Hall.
Li Big Saber reported to Jiang Chen about the Old Ancestor of Sheng Tian Dynasty and the Old Ancestor of Ao Shi Dynasty bringing people to the Qingtian Sect to take revenge.
"Oh?"
Hearing Li Big Saber's account, Jiang Chen gave a light sound of doubt.
He wasn't confused about these two people coming for revenge, but rather that these two promised to compensate the Qingtian Sect with many resources to Cultivate. Now that the people were dead, this debt couldn't just be cancelled.
Jiang Chen took a bite of the spiritual fruit fed to his mouth by Liu Shu and said to Li Big Saber, "Big Saber, these two families still owe us a lot of resources to Cultivate. You send people to get them back. Paying debts is justified; even if people are dead, it can't be let go just like that."
Although the Qingtian Sect was not short of resources to Cultivate, since it was compensation promised by the two Imperial Dynasties, he definitely couldn't let it go.
Even if they didn't use them after getting them back, they had to be piled up in the Qingtian Sect's treasury.
"Yes, Sect Master, your Subordinate will send the Qingtian Guards to get the things back right away."
Li Big Saber bowed and accepted the order, then walked out of the Main Hall.
Wang Pockmark had already reported the list of compensation. Now, he just needed to send a team of Qingtian Guards to each of the two Imperial Dynasties.
Soon, under Li Big Saber's arrangement.
Two hundred Qingtian Guards wearing armor walked out of the Qingtian Sect's Mountain Gate, boarded Spirit Boats at the level of a top-grade Sacred Artifact, and rushed towards the two Imperial Dynasties.
Each team had one hundred people, led by two First Level Quasi-Emperor Qingtian Guards, and the rest were all at the Saint Emperor stage of Cultivation.
With this lineup, let alone going to the two Imperial Dynasties to collect debts, even if they slaughtered everyone in the two Imperial Dynasties, it would be more than enough.
After all, the two Imperial Dynasties didn't even have a Quasi-Emperor now, so how could they be the opponents of these hundred Qingtian Guards?
"Hiss, these armored Cultivators from the Qingtian Sect, their Cultivation is so powerful!"
"Yes, I actually sensed hundreds of Saint Emperor auras."
"Not just that, there are also a few Quasi-Emperor auras."
"Dispatching such a powerful force, what is the Qingtian Sect doing? Are they going to destroy the two Imperial Dynasties?"
"No way, with such a powerful lineup to destroy the two Imperial Dynasties, I'm afraid even the mice in the two Imperial Dynasties will be killed."
The billions of Cultivators outside the Mountain Gate looked at the backs of the Qingtian Guards leaving in shock.
Regarding the Cultivation of the Qingtian Guards, although they were shocked, they didn't receive too much impact.
After all, the Qingtian Sect even had a Great Emperor; it wasn't very strange for them to produce a few hundred Saint Emperors.
Southern Region, inside the palace of the Ao Shi Dynasty.
At this moment, the palace was in chaos.
A large number of royals wearing gorgeous clothes were dismantling the treasures in the palace and putting them into their Storage Rings.
And in the Main Hall of the palace.
The Emperor of the Ao Shi Dynasty and a group of civil and military officials loyal to the Imperial Dynasty were holding an emergency meeting.
"My lords, say no more. I have made up my mind to take the royals and migrate to the Central Plains, and from now on, live incognito. You should all disperse."
The Emperor of the Ao Shi Dynasty shouted at the civil and military officials below.
Now it was spreading like crazy outside that when his Ao Shi Dynasty's and the Sheng Tian Dynasty's Quasi-Emperor Ancestors took six Quasi-Emperors to the Qingtian Sect for revenge, they were killed by the Qingtian Sect's Great Emperor Expert.
And his Old Ancestor's soul tablet was indeed shattered. Regardless of whether the news about the Qingtian Sect having a Great Emperor Expert was true, he had to abandon the Southern Region and take the royal Disciples away from here.
After all, the Quasi-Emperor Ancestor had fallen, and they had offended the Qingtian Sect; his Ao Shi Dynasty could no longer stand in the Southern Region.
"Your Majesty, take care!!"
After the officials bowed respectfully, they prepared to leave the Main Hall.
In fact, they didn't want to stay; they were just pretending. Since the Emperor was serious, they would just take the opportunity to leave.
Not running away after offending the Qingtian Sect? Isn't that courting death?
Even if the Qingtian Sect didn't have a Great Emperor, there were still four Quasi-Emperors. Staying here would definitely lead to death.
Just as the officials were about to walk out of the Main Hall and return to their homes.
The roof of the Main Hall was lifted by a force, and then a majestic voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Where is the Emperor of the Ao Shi Dynasty? My Qingtian Sect has come to collect debts!!"
