The answer to Fang Yuan's question was self-evident to the Fang family.
Fang Gong nodded, his tone grave as he carefully chose his words. "Of course we are willing to make this deal, but Lord Fang Yuan, what do you want in return? If your demands are too great, beyond what my Fang family can bear, then we fear that..."
Fang Yuan waved a hand, cutting Fang Gong off. "First, I need Thieves' Den. Second, I need the Fang family to station themselves in Green Ghost Desert and provide me with an enormous quantity of soul cores. And what I will give your Fang family will naturally not be limited to Fang Di Chang's soul. The specific details can be discussed slowly."
Fang Yuan's lenient terms made the Fang family immortals' eyes light up, though they also harbored many doubts.
Fang Yuan seemed to know what they were thinking. "If I wanted to deal with your Fang family, I could simply act directly. Why would I need to play with other methods? I do not mind telling you that I have already struck a deal with Wu Yong of the Wu family. I am not a brutal man. Fighting and killing are merely methods. Unless driven to the wall, I do not wish to constantly use force to satisfy my demands."
The Fang family immortals all felt chills run through their hearts. Fang Yuan's words contained a threat. The unspoken meaning was that if they failed to meet his demands, war would follow, leaving the Fang family with heavy losses—or even wiping out their lineage!
Fang Gong felt bitter inside. Facing such an overbearing Fang Yuan, what choice did he have?
In truth, from the moment Fang Yuan appeared, the Fang family had been unable to make any other choice.
