Spirit Hall's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Branch Hall

"Enough. I didn't come here to watch you argue."

Qian Xunfeng waved a hand and said with a faint smile, "I hope your sect can provide us with reasonable compensation. Otherwise, today will be the day the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect perishes."

At his words, the elders, whose faces had been red with anger, looked at the Spirit Hall army surrounding them and immediately turned pale. They had been in the wrong to begin with.

Now that the other side had come knocking, it was only reasonable. Other factions could not say anything about it.

But seeing such a lavish lineup gave them a headache. Anyone with eyes could tell that unless they suffered a major loss this time, there would be no peaceful resolution.

With that thought, the six elders all glared furiously at Yu Yuanzhen and said coldly, "This is all your son's doing."

"May I ask what compensation Spirit Hall seeks? My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will certainly do everything in its power to make amends."

Now was not the time for questioning blame. The Great Elder forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. They had to resolve the matter before them first.

"I'm not some utterly villainous person either."

Qian Xunfeng wore a kind smile.

"However, fifteen percent of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's territory must be ceded to Spirit Hall's jurisdiction, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect shall have no right to restrict its development."

"What?! Ceding land?!"

The Great Elder immediately panicked upon hearing Qian Xunfeng's words. This was their ancestral land. How could they casually hand it over to outsiders?

"Ah, don't rush. That's only the first condition."

Qian Xunfeng cleared his throat before stating the remaining terms.

"Also, 500 Million Gold Soul Coins and fifty percent of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's industries will all belong to Spirit Hall."

"What?! Isn't that asking for the life of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Yu Yuanzhen's expression turned rather ugly. Looking at Qian Xunfeng, who was much younger than him, he said with some humiliation.

Soul Rings appeared around him. Clearly, he intended to use his status as a Titled Douluo to pressure them into reducing the compensation.

There was no helping it.

It was simply too much. If they paid it, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would likely be left drinking the northwest wind. Besides, their clan did not even have that much money.

"How can a Saintess take away an industry my clan has operated for a thousand years? You are going too far. I want to discuss this with your Pope."

Qian Xunfeng had only recently ascended as Pope and had not yet invited the Upper Three Sects to be ranked anew, so the news had naturally not reached their ears.

"I am the new Pope of the Pope's Palace, Qian Xunfeng."

As soon as Qian Xunfeng finished speaking, he summoned the Punishment Whip into his hand. The Six Black Three Red arrangement of Soul Rings radiated a terrifying pressure.

"What? Does Sect Master Yu wish to test the strength of this newly appointed Pope?"

As he spoke, the whip in his hand ignited with raging flames.

To Qian Xunfeng, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had never amounted to much. In the original work, they had been nothing but a background prop.

A clan full of trash that could not even produce two Titled Douluo, yet they strutted around like they were invincible every day.

"Your Excellency the Pope, could you reduce the compensation for the sake of the Upper Three Sects? Our clan truly cannot produce 500 Million Gold Soul Coins."

The moment Yu Yuanzhen saw Qian Xunfeng's Soul Rings, he immediately wilted.

"Sect Master Yu, I'm not negotiating. I'm informing you. If the compensation is not delivered today, there will be no Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan left tomorrow."

Thinking that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not have that much money, Qian Xunfeng rubbed his chin rather considerately.

"Considering your sect's genuine hardship, and since I am not an evil man, hand over the Nine Dragon Crowns to Spirit Hall. It can count as 150 Million Gold Soul Coins. How about it?"

"You!"

Those words made Yu Yuanzhen, whose heart was already filled with rage, stare at Qian Xunfeng's cheap grin with a red face.

"What? Does Sect Master Yu wish to exchange pointers with me?"

"Hmph, that is exactly my intention!"

Hearing Qian Xunfeng's contemptuous tone, Yu Yuanzhen panted like a bull. He had clearly been infuriated badly by Qian Xunfeng.

Martial Soul Avatar.

As lightning flashed, arcs of electricity flickered over Yu Yuanzhen's body, and his physique gradually began to expand.

Deep-blue scales gradually covered Yu Yuanzhen's body, while his limbs transformed into four massive dragon claws.

With a dragon's roar, nine Soul Rings shone around Yu Yuanzhen. His powerful dragon might shook the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

"Tsk, tsk. Then I'll properly experience Sect Master Yu's strength."

Qian Xunfeng clicked his tongue as the divine fire on the Judgment Whip in his hand grew even more restless.

Fourth Spirit Ability, Seraph's Blessing, Cherub's Blessing, Wisdom Angel's Protection.

The instant he spoke, Qian Xunfeng's aura surged dramatically. After the three enhancement Spirit Abilities, all his attributes had increased by six hundred percent.

Qian Xunfeng could only feel the Judgment Whip in his hand thirsting for battle, and he could not help swinging it.

Second Spirit Ability, Angel's Judgment!

A crimson whip lashed out with lightning speed, striking Yu Yuanzhen directly as he transformed into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

With just one strike, Yu Yuanzhen was smashed forcefully into the ground.

Bone Binding Flame!

The crimson flames on the Judgment Whip gradually transformed into an eerie purple.

"Sect Master Yu, I haven't even had the chance to learn your sect's brilliant techniques. Why are you already lying down?"

Looking at Yu Yuanzhen lying there like a dead dog, Qian Xunfeng showed no intention of stopping. Another whip came crashing down, and bloody marks appeared across Yu Yuanzhen's body.

The Bone Binding Flame continuously burned Yu Yuanzhen's body, leaving him in unbearable agony.

Only after whipping him for more than ten minutes did Qian Xunfeng finally stop. He felt somewhat strange. Why had this old man not cried out even once after being beaten for so long?

"Sect Master Yu, are you still refusing to admit defeat?"

After waiting a while, Yu Yuanzhen finally spoke in a trembling, extremely weak voice, "I... I admit defeat!"

What did he mean, refusing to admit defeat? Qian Xunfeng had simply gotten carried away with the beating and had not given him any chance to speak.

"We admit defeat. Please, Your Excellency the Pope, come with us to the Treasure Vault."

The Great Elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then turned to Yu Luomian, who had been watching the show. "Yu Luomian, go draft the contract for transferring the clan industries. I'll take Your Excellency the Pope to collect the money."

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Clan's Treasure Vault.

Having stripped the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Clan clean, Qian Xunfeng was in an exceptionally good mood.

"There are a total of 200 Million Gold Soul Coins. I will count these Nine Dragon Crowns as 150 Million Gold Soul Coins. As for the remaining 150 Million, gentlemen, do not forget to repay it."

After the soul masters under his command finished counting the resources, Qian Xunfeng nodded in satisfaction and spoke to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect elders around him with a half-smile.

The Nine Dragon Crowns had arrived at just the right time. After all, several of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo did not even possess a single Soul Bone.

Even Elder Golden Crocodile did not have a full set of Soul Bones. Since Qian Xunfeng had no use for these Soul Bones himself, he planned to use them to enhance the strength of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo.

"I shall take my leave first. The personnel assigned to garrison the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will arrive shortly. Elders, be sure to treat them well."

Seeing that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had no more wealth to squeeze out, Qian Xunfeng could not be bothered to stay any longer. He led the Spirit Saint Legion back.

"Farewell, Your Majesty the Pope."

Only after Qian Xunfeng had gone far away did the Great Elder's expression gradually darken.

"Call a clan meeting. Prepare to expel Yu Xiaogang, that scourge, from the family register."
