Golden Crocodile's Rank 98 Peak Douluo-level Soul Power pressure blanketed the entire venue. Seeing this, Dai Lingfeng was instantly overwhelmed with humiliation. "Damn it..."
If Murong Huai had wanted gold, silver, jewels, heavenly treasures, or anything of that sort, he would not have minded. But ceding cities was an infringement upon sovereignty!
An empire's greatest strength was its army. The royal family did not have many powerful Soul Masters—only a handful of Title Douluos, and three of them had just died.
Murong Huai's actions were meant to tell Dai Lingfeng that Spirit Hall was fully capable of wiping out the Star Luo royal family. It depended entirely on what choice he made. If he refused, then Murong Huai had no reason to care about the lives of the Star Luo Empire's citizens. Their own emperor did not care about them, so why should he?
"Three cities are impossible. At most, one city, plus any three treasures from the imperial treasury. That is all. Otherwise, we'll fight to the death!!" Dai Lingfeng knew the current situation was utterly unfavorable to him. Golden Crocodile was hard to say, but Murong Huai clearly looked like he truly would kill him. He could only grit his teeth and agree.
Hearing this, Murong Huai sneered inwardly. His original goal had merely been the treasures in the imperial treasury. Since even the Heaven Dou Empire possessed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the Star Luo Empire's treasury naturally could not be lacking. Those cities had only been a casual demand. He had not expected Dai Lingfeng to actually agree.
"Fine, but add another twenty million Gold Soul Coins."
"Fine..." Dai Lingfeng clenched his fists so tightly that his nails sank into his flesh. At that moment, he felt utterly humiliated.
Five soul bones, thirty million Gold Soul
