Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Like Master, Like Disciple
The smile on Luo Feng’s face grew wider upon hearing the words of the Wuji Sect’s Supreme Elder. However, seeing Luo Feng’s smile, the six Supreme Elders from the Wuji Sect looked grim.
"The Wuji Sect is willing to offer compensation for this matter. Luo Feng, hurry up and release Wan Tai!" the Wuji Sect’s Supreme Elder shouted.
The battle in the sky was over. Everyone knew that this time, the Flawless Palace had won. Although the Supreme Elders from both sides were evenly matched in strength, Wan Tai had been captured by Luo Feng. The victor was clear, unless both sides truly wanted a fight to the death.
"Patriarch Mo, take down the Sect Protection Array," the Semi-Evil Daoist Master said to the Mo Family Head, who was standing frozen to the side.
Hearing this, Patriarch Mo froze for a moment but then ordered his men to dismantle the Sect Protection Array.
As the Mo Family was an affiliated family of the Wuji Sect, the Mo Family Head was naturally not pleased that the Wuji Sect had lost. With the Sect Protection Array no longer in the way, the group descended back into the courtyard. However, Luo Feng still had Wan Tai firmly in his grasp.
"Master Wan, it’s best to be careful about certain things." As soon as they landed, Luo Feng chuckled and spoke to Wan Tai. Hearing this, Wan Tai immediately thought, ’Luo Feng must have some rotten scheme in mind.’
Sure enough, Luo Feng tossed Wan Tai to the Six Supreme Elders behind him. Smiling, he said to the six of them, "I’ll have to trouble you, Martial Uncles."
As soon as his voice fell, the Six Supreme Elders of the Flawless Palace struck in unison, quickly sealing all the Elemental Power in Wan Tai’s body.
Of course, it wasn’t easy to seal the Elemental Power of a Spirit Realm expert. If it were just Luo Feng alone, even after defeating Wan Tai, it would have been very difficult to seal the Elemental Power inside his body. However, with the Six Supreme Elders acting together, it was much simpler.
With his Elemental Power completely sealed, Wan Tai immediately roared in anger, "Luo Feng, your Flawless Palace has gone too far! What exactly do you want?"
Wan Tai’s face was contorted with rage. This was an utter humiliation. Not only had he been defeated by Luo Feng, but now even his cultivation had been sealed.
"Hehe, Master Wan, didn’t I tell you? It’s always best to be careful. You, Master Wan, act recklessly, so naturally, I had to take some precautions," Luo Feng said with a chuckle, completely ignoring Wan Tai’s furious shouts.
With Wan Tai’s cultivation sealed, he was now essentially a cripple. It would be impossible for him to break the seal set by the Six Supreme Elders in just a few days.
Seeing Wan Tai sealed, the six Supreme Elders of the Wuji Sect also wore grim expressions. But at this point, there was nothing they could do. Who could they blame but Wan Tai for being unable to defeat Luo Feng?
"Alright, now we can discuss the matter of compensation," Luo Feng said with a wide smile, looking at the Wuji Sect’s Six Supreme Elders once more.
Looking at Luo Feng’s demeanor, the six Supreme Elders from the Wuji Sect nearly ground their teeth to dust. This was so damn frustrating.
"Patriarch Mo, hurry up and have someone bring out some chairs! Are you going to make us stand here and talk?" With nowhere else to vent his anger, one of the Supreme Elders could only direct his fury at the Mo Family Head.
After a respectful nod of acknowledgment, maids from the Mo Family quickly set out tables and chairs, along with some fruit and tea.
Luo Feng sat down boldly, and the two factions sat facing each other. At this moment, Wan Tai tried to return to the Wuji Sect’s side, but he had barely taken a step before Luo Feng called out, "Master Wan, what’s your hurry? I haven’t received the compensation yet. You’d better stay by my side. I’ll feel more at ease with you here."
Hearing Luo Feng’s words, Wan Tai grit his teeth fiercely and clenched his fists tightly. But with his cultivation currently sealed, he had no choice. Wan Tai obediently went and sat down behind Luo Feng.
"Alright, let’s talk. What compensation are you planning to offer?" Getting straight to the point, Luo Feng’s arrogance left the members of the Wuji Sect fuming with humiliation.
With a dark expression, the Supreme Elder from the Wuji Sect who had spoken earlier said, "Since this was a contest between juniors, my Wuji Sect is willing to compensate with one hundred thousand Middle Grade Primordial Stones."
From the Wuji Sect’s point of view, today’s incident was merely something started by juniors. Besides, neither side had suffered any casualties, so a compensation of one hundred thousand Middle Grade Primordial Stones was more than enough.
Who would have thought that upon hearing the Wuji Sect’s offer, Luo Feng’s expression would change. He said with extreme dissatisfaction, "One hundred thousand Middle Grade Primordial Stones? Do you take my Flawless Palace for beggars? It seems you have no sincerity in compensating us. If that’s the case, let’s continue the fight."
Seeing Luo Feng posture as if to strike, the six Supreme Elders of the Wuji Sect were so angry they nearly coughed up blood. ’Fight? Fight my ass! You’ve already sealed Wan Tai’s cultivation. How are we supposed to fight you six against seven?’
Taking a deep breath, the Wuji Sect’s side forcibly suppressed their anger. Almost through gritted teeth, one of them asked, "Then what amount of compensation does Palace Master Luo think is appropriate?"
"Hmm... since you all say this is a matter between juniors, let’s do this: five million Middle Grade Primordial Stones, ten thousand Low Grade Essence Spirit Pills, and five thousand Superior Grade Spirit Essence Pills. Then we’ll call it even," Luo Feng said dismissively.
However, upon hearing the compensation Luo Feng demanded, the six from the Wuji Sect were utterly enraged. An old ancestor from the Mo Family even slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and pointed at Luo Feng, roaring in fury.
"Why don’t you just rob us?!"
The compensation Luo Feng was demanding would have left even the most good-natured and calculating of the Wuji Sect’s Supreme Elders utterly dumbfounded. This was blatant robbery. Such a price would be enough to compensate for the death of a Flawless Palace Supreme Elder.
Five million Middle Grade Primordial Stones—what a colossal sum! And with the Primordial Spirit Pills on top of that, it was no wonder the Wuji Sect was so furious.
"Heh, Lin Yun, I never would’ve guessed. Your master really is something else. Compared to him, we’re far too soft-hearted," the Monk said with a laugh as he watched Luo Feng fleece them.
Hearing this, Lin Yun could only let out a couple of dry laughs. Luo Feng’s skill at fleecing people was truly impressive. ’And when it comes to being black-hearted,’ Lin Yun admitted to himself, ’I’m no match for Luo Feng.’
Luo Feng dominated the rest of the negotiation. His position was simple: if you don’t pay, we’ll keep fighting.
He had the Wuji Sect right by their weak spot, infuriating their six Supreme Elders to the point of nearly coughing up blood. Yet, they were completely helpless—after all, Wan Tai was still in Luo Feng’s hands.
After a fierce war of words, the Wuji Sect finally agreed to compensate the Flawless Palace with one million Middle Grade Primordial Stones, plus a combined total of one thousand Low Grade and Superior Grade Spirit Essence Pills.
Having accepted the Wuji Sect’s compensation with satisfaction, Luo Feng stood up, clapped Wan Tai on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Master Wan, see? I told you. Our Flawless Palace and your Wuji Sect are the best of friends. This spar between our junior disciples... look what a big misunderstanding it caused! Haha, come visit my Flawless Palace when you’re free."
Luo Feng was gloating after having taken advantage of them. Watching his grinning face, Wan Tai wished he could drown him in spit, but that was obviously impossible.
With a cold snort, Wan Tai returned to the Wuji Sect’s side, his face like ice.
