"Go on!" The Black Dragon Clan Overlord's heart lurched, but with the situation so urgent, he had no time to think. He hurriedly said,
"My request is simple. Hand over all the benefits you received not long ago, then have the Black Dragon Clan add an equal amount on top."
Hua Xia said, "What do you think? My request is simple, isn't it?"
Everyone knew that the Black Dragon Clan Overlord had accepted benefits from the various clans. Otherwise, given their temperaments, how could they have endured being insulted by those clans?
Hearing Hua Xia's words, all living beings felt that his request wasn't unreasonable. It was certainly better than demanding a Hegemon-grade battle weapon outright from the Sima Family.
In their eyes, even if the Black Dragon Clan had accepted some benefits, those benefits couldn't compare to a single Hegemon-grade battle weapon.
The Black Dragon Clan felt the same way. So when they heard Hua Xia's request, they all thought the Ancient Ancestor would agree without hesitation.
After all, compared to his cultivation, those benefits were insignificant. The Black Dragon Clan had a deep foundation and was supported by the various clans. People would surely offer them more in the future.
"Impossible!!"
To everyone's surprise, despite how dire the situation was, the Black Dragon Clan Overlord still refused Hua Xia without hesitation.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Why would he refuse? Could a few benefits really compare to his cultivation?
The Black Dragon Clan was frantic. Several important figures hurriedly tried to persuade the Ancient Ancestor not to be so stubborn. They were only some benefits—so what if he gave them to Hua Xia?
"No!" the Black Dragon Clan Overlord shouted.
Only he knew what benefits he had received: five Hegemon-grade battle weapons. How could he hand them over so easily?
