After a moment of silence.

Qiao Hongwen said to the clansmen who were still waiting for a response not far away: "You go and tell Deputy Commander Zhao that we will handle the affairs of Qiao's Mansion ourselves and will not affect the outside world, and by the way, thank him for his concern." ”

The clansman looked at Ling Jiuqiu, then at Qiao Hongwen, and then hesitated to respond: "Yes!" ”

Qiao Hongwen continued:

"Little brother, we don't know about the patriarch's attack on you, so we can't judge, but now that you have killed our patriarch and killed the other two elders of my Qiao clan, your revenge has been avenged."

"And in terms of money, you burned down Qiao's Mansion twice, and the losses caused to us are more than 100,000 taels, which can be regarded as a mutual level, and we don't pursue each other, what do you think?"

Ling Jiuqiu sneered.

"There is no such thing as a flattening or a flattening, I just want to make up for all my losses, so I can only ask for it from your Qiao clan."

"In the same way, if you feel that you have suffered a heavy loss, you can also ask me for it, as long as you have a way to make me submit."

"That's fair."

Qiao Hongwen and the others had gloomy faces.

There were young clansmen on the side who couldn't help it, and said loudly: "It's so hateful! How could my Qiao clan have suffered such humiliation, killing our patriarch and elders, and wanting to ask for money, it is simply too deceitful! ”

"Elder, don't agree!"

"Let's besiege him together and kill him!"

For a time, the crowd was furious.

Everyone even forgot about the important matter of fighting the fire, and they all gathered around, as if they were ready to crush Ling Jiuqiu with a numerical advantage.

Seeing this, Elder Qiao Hongwen shouted in a deep voice, "What do you want to do? Why don't you put out the fire quickly? As far as your little cultivation is concerned, do you all want to send you to death? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately calmed down.

Ling Jiuqiu sneered: "They have a bit of backbone, but it's a pity that they are all waste." ”

The implication of these words is that it seems to mock Qiao Hongwen and the others for being spineless, and by the way, scolding others for being wasteful, which is equivalent to scolding everyone.

Suddenly, everyone's faces changed.

Qiao Hongwen's fists clenched and loosened, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and pretended to be calm:

"I will pay you the money you said, I hope you can keep your promise, from now on, the grievances between you and the Qiao clan will be cleared, don't make trouble under any pretext, otherwise it will ......"

His expression suddenly became cold:

“…… Even if my Qiao clan completely abandons face, I have to ask the court to call the shots, and I want you in the entire Liancang Domain, with the mutated martial soul you have awakened, and the particularity of the dual martial souls, it is not difficult for the imperial court to find out your identity, even if you have the ability to avoid being wanted, there will be no peace. ”

Ling Jiuqiu's battle this time was all done with all his might, and the Soul Refining Ding was actively displayed, coupled with the rarity of the fire element martial soul, the mutant martial soul and the double martial soul, it can be called one in ten billion.

Not to mention that there is a unique martial soul like Ding.

It's really not difficult to investigate identities.

"Don't worry, pay me 150,000 taels of silver, and don't trouble me again in the future, then you and I will settle our grievances." Ling Jiuqiu said indifferently.

"Then you wait a moment."

After speaking, Qiao Hongwen turned around and left.

It wasn't long before he came to a charred ruin.

Qiao's treasury is in the basement beneath this ruin, and even under the raging fire, it is still quite well preserved.

Under Qiao Hongwen's strong request, the old man guarding the treasury had no choice but to open the door of the treasury and take out fifteen taels of silver tickets from it.

Qiao Hongwen took the money, returned to the courtyard that was burning with monstrous flames, looked at Ling Jiuqiu coldly, and reminded again: "This time, my Qiao clan has admitted it, and I will not try to seek revenge on you, I hope you can also keep your promise." ”

After speaking, he summoned a clansman, handed over the silver ticket in his hand, and casually ordered: "Give the silver ticket to this little brother." ”

The clansmen took the silver ticket and cautiously walked in front of Ling Jiuqiu, but they didn't even dare to raise their heads, let alone look at Ling Jiuqiu.

The courage to shout and curse in the crowd just now is completely gone.

Just tremblingly handed over the silver ticket.

"Huh."

Ling Jiuqiu glanced at the other party, couldn't help but chuckle, but didn't say anything.

After taking the silver ticket and counting it, he stuffed it into his pocket casually and said, "Since you talk about the rules, then I will naturally keep my promise and leave!" ”

After saying that, he jumped up and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The Qiao people were silent for a long time.

The flames burned.

The air was whistling.

The rolling heat wave could not dispel the chill in everyone's hearts.

What happened tonight was a great shame for the entire Qiao clan.

The patriarch and the two elders were killed one after another, and were openly extorted by the enemy for 150,000 taels of silver, and they obediently offered them.

If this matter spreads, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of the entire Qiao clan.

Not to mention the loss of three high-level combat power in a row, the strength of the family has dropped significantly, and maybe it will face even greater calamity.

Those top forces that are in competition with the Qiao clan may take the opportunity to suppress them and devour them like evil wolves.

Those medium-sized forces that used to be the only ones of the Qiao clan may turn to others, or even betray the Qiao clan.

Once it is not handled carefully, the entire Qiao clan may be wiped out under the siege of many forces.

Just when the crowd was in a low mood.

Qiao Hongwen looked around and said loudly: "Do you think that scene just now is shameful?" Unwilling? ”

The crowd was silent.

Qiao Hongwen suddenly said angrily: "I am more ashamed and unwilling than you!" ”

"Obviously, my strength is stronger than him, but I can only let him be arrogant and provocative in front of me, but I have to obediently admit it, offer apologies, and watch him leave."

"Do you know why?"

Everyone looked at him stunned.

"It's because you're too weak! You have dragged me back, made me have scruples, and I dare not fight to the death with each other. ”

"If I don't admit it, he can attack the third time, the fourth time, I can't kill him, he can't kill me, but he can kill all of you, and at that time, the entire Qiao clan will no longer exist."

"I have warned many juniors that the strength of this world is respected, and when we don't have enough strength, we can only endure all injustice and shame!"

"What we have to do now is not to immerse ourselves in these shames that have happened, but to work hard, work hard to cultivate, and make ourselves a strong man from above, so that the entire Qiao clan will become stronger, so that these shames will not happen again!"

The eyes of the crowd gradually hardened.

Qiao Hongwen continued:

"Now, what I want to tell you is that the Qiao clan will inevitably decline in the future, and even become a second-rate force in the eyes of many people, and be secretly ridiculed and discussed by countless people, we must all maintain a correct attitude to look at these."

"Whether you feel embarrassed or angry, you must always remember that the more times like this, the more we must work hard, so that the Qiao clan can return to the top of Tailu City and make everyone look at it differently."
