System's Super Sect-Chapter 580 - 577. The astonishing concession!

Regarding Situ Xiuneng’s words, there was no need for Wen Ping to look at Lu Ming, who was carrying Xia Jin. He knew that Lu Ming was certainly shocked.

Because he himself was very surprised.

A disciple was killed, his own people died right before his eyes, yet Situ Xiuneng, as someone from the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, chose the most unimaginable act of tolerance?

Just as a question arose in Wen Ping’s heart, he heard Lu Ming’s resentful voice. However, as soon as he spoke a few words, Situ Xiuneng raised his hand to interrupt, "Sir, just like this..."

After the words were interrupted, seeing the raised hand of Situ Xiuneng, Lu Ming’s resentful expression turned into one of helplessness that quickly filled his heart. Accompanied by confusion, this emotion was like gathering clouds, more and more. He then withdrew his gaze, carrying Xia Jin toward the city.

The departing steps were slow, seemingly pondering answers while walking, contemplating the same curious question as Wen Ping.

As soon as Lu Ming left, the other strong practitioners of the Mountain Suppression Realm from the Hundred Sects Alliance gradually closed their Meridian Gates, and the Qi light that originally dispelled the darkness was slowly concealed again by the night. They also harbored immense unwillingness, but with Situ Xiuneng’s order, they could only follow Lu Ming into the city.

In their hearts, the Immortal Sect was just a small place that had suddenly risen to fame.

They were people of the Hundred Sects Alliance.

Truly the ones who stood at the peak of Heaven and Earth Lake, overlooking the earth.

Compared to each other, it was obvious that their side was stronger.

Losing face in front of the weaker Immortal Sect felt like knowingly biting into bitter yellow lotus, but having to grind it to bits and then swallow it. Far more painful than the silent suffering of swallowing bitter gall silently.

Once these people left, Wen Ping’s gaze at Situ Xiuneng became completely different.

To make such a decision, the Situ Xiuneng in front of him might be someone who had lost ambition, only thinking about stabilizing what he had gained.

Or he might be a schemer!

A cunning strategist!

Situ Xiuneng slowly stroked his beard, looking at Wen Ping with a very steady gaze, and said, "Sect Leader Wen’s swordsmanship has truly expanded my view."

"I only hope that Master Situ won’t make me make a second move," Wen Ping replied coldly.

He felt that this old man must be pretending.

Situ Xiuneng, listening, squeezed out a faint smile and said, "Naturally... Since my unworthy disciple has already paid with his life for tonight’s incident, Sect Leader Wen should no longer pursue the responsibility of our Hundred Sects Alliance, right?"

Wen Ping simply replied, "Every debt has its debtor, naturally, I won’t."

Situ Xiuneng said with a smile, "That’s for the best. Then I shall take my leave first, and once we receive a reply from above, we’ll discuss a peace agreement, ensuring Sect Leader Wen’s satisfaction."

Having said that, Situ Xiuneng gently cupped his hands, slightly bowing towards both Wen Ping and Long Ke. As he turned towards Long Ke, his gaze lingered for a while on Long Ke, once again showing a puzzled expression at the mouth’s corner.

Following that, Situ Xiuneng turned and entered the city.

After Situ Xiuneng turned, Murong Qing’s expression became quite vivid.

In his heart, he silently vowed that he absolutely could not stay in East Lake any longer, even if it meant ceasing to be a chief of the Hundred Sects Alliance.

Being ordinary was better than staying in East Lake.

Once Situ Xiuneng left, many disciples on the mountainside rushed down, following Bainian Xiang to handle Hei Yu’s corpse.

Luan Yue and a few others stepped forward, kneeling before Wen Ping with a plop.

Just as Wen Ping was reacting, the two suddenly spoke out in grandiose words.

"Sect Leader Wen’s great kindness, the two of us cannot thank you enough, and should you ever need us, we’d pledge ourselves unto death without hesitation."

Saying this, Luan Yue and Hei Shan exchanged glances, each showing a very sincere and earnest expression.

In response, Wen Ping didn’t know what to say.

Need something?

Probably nothing needed.

Although both were of the Mountain Suppression Realm, they could not join the Immortal Sect.

Mountain Suppression Realm individuals who could not join the Immortal Sect were of no help to Wen Ping, as the Immortal Sect was not without capable individuals.

And most importantly, Wen Ping’s actions were not for the sake of those two.

After pondering for a few seconds, Wen Ping replied, "If you want to thank me, then put more effort into repairing Cangwu City. Although you were also forced into battle, after all, all of this is not unrelated to you."

"Understood!"

Luan Yue and Hei Shan answered loudly in agreement.

Wen Ping then said to Huan Cheng, who was walking over, "Uncle Huan, I’ll leave these two to you."

Huan Cheng nodded in a daze, suddenly filled with some complex emotions as he looked at Luan Yue and Hei Shan, managing an awkward smile.

These two possessed power he could only look up to.

Now they were to follow his directives!

As he was lost in thought, Wen Ping’s voice came through again, "Uncle Huan, this time for the city’s rebuilding materials, write a letter to the City Lord of Cloud Sea City in my name, asking him to use the best Companion Crystal Stone materials provided by the Wing Race Demons. As for the payment... you can demand it from them. If they refuse, come up the mountain to find me."

By "them," Wen Ping naturally meant Luan Yue and Hei Shan.

Huan Cheng quickly nodded.

Looking at Luan Yue and Hei Shan, this time, instead of awkwardly smiling, he replied very seriously, "If they refuse, I will certainly go up the mountain."

Luan Yue and Hei Shan readily responded, "Sect Leader Wen, rest assured, the two of us will certainly fulfill our promise, just as you fulfilled yours to us."

Companion Crystal Stone materials, as the name suggests, are stones that accompany White Crystal.

Being underground with White Crystals for a long time, more or less, they absorbed some energy, becoming exceptionally hard.

Although using Companion Crystal Stone to build a city wall might cost quite a few White Crystals, at least a hundred or two hundred pieces, the two were willing.

After all, it was Wen Ping who saved their lives.

Wen Ping continued to speak to Huan Cheng, "Also, Uncle Huan, remember to tally the casualties tomorrow, and set the compensation at 1000 Gold Coins per family. Also, get it from them. Although it won’t bring back those soldiers’ lives, it can ensure their families are well-off."

"1000 Gold Coins!"

Upon hearing this number, Huan Cheng was taken aback.

Because 1000 Gold Coins was not a small amount.

In Cangwu City, an average soldier could only earn 5 Gold Coins a month.

Gold Coins would allow those soldiers’ families to live comfortably for a lifetime.

Reflecting on this, it made sense. This was the power granted by strength.

A rightful demand!

If Wen Ping weren’t strong, if Cangwu City were destroyed today, probably no one would shed tears for it.

Gold Coins, then, was the least that could be done.

Having understood this, Huan Cheng was about to speak again when Wen Ping spoke up, "If you think it’s not enough, add more."

"It’s enough! It’s enough!"

Huan Cheng quickly replied.

Asking for more would indeed be excessive.

Because adding 1000 upon 1000 would accumulate terrifyingly. Although Luan Yue and Hei Shan bore responsibility, they were also victims.

Cangwu City could demand, but it wasn’t necessary.

Following that, Huan Cheng suddenly bowed and said, "Sect Leader Wen, I thank you on behalf of the people of Cangwu City."

He wasn’t ignorant of what’s appropriate, for Wen Ping aiding the people of Cangwu City was kindness; not helping was his prerogative.

He was grateful!

Grateful that Wen Ping, after becoming powerful, still possessed the benevolent heart of his mother!

Previously, Wen Ping’s mother treated illnesses for the people free of charge.

Now, Wen Ping was seeking justice for the people.

With the help of the Immortal Sect, Cangwu City was destined to become a safe and harmonious place, offering a warm sanctuary for more people in the future.
