Of Qin Yuan's three conditions, the first and third were nothing out of the ordinary. The Elephant Armor Sect was in the wrong to begin with. Once it paid compensation, the matter would be put to rest, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have no grounds to make an issue of it again.
But Huyan Zhen absolutely dared not agree to the second condition.
To cooperate with Bibi Dong's plan, the Elephant Armor Sect had paid an enormous price to establish the Elephant Armor Academy in Element City.
