"Don't, I'm just joking. It's time for the youngsters of our Zhao Family to come out and train."
The clan leader of the Zhao Clan was the first to give in. He made some calculations. He could save 10 million Immortal Stones by participating in the battle as a Perfected Golden Immortal. From the generation of his sons and nephews, he could gather ten people who were at least at the sixth stage of the Golden Celestial Stage, and from the generation of his grandchildren, he could gather 20 people who were at the first stage to the fifth stage of the Golden Celestial Stage. In this way, he wouldn't have to pay the fine.
"Yes, yes, yes. It's time for the youngsters in our family to come out and train."
When the Liu Clan's Patriarch heard that the fine was so high, he also decided to let his descendants fight against the Demonic Beasts. However, he still paid a fine of 500,000 dollars in the end, because the Liu Family didn't have many descendants at the Golden Celestial Stage, and the servants and guards didn't count. One of his grandsons was very talented, but he was too young. He really couldn't bear to let him go out and take risks. He could still afford the fine of 500,000 grade two immortal stones.
"Hahaha, you poor wretches even sent your grandchildren."
The Wan Clan Leader shook his chubby cheeks and made fun of all the clan leaders who were reluctant to spend money. He happily paid the fine of ten million. Everyone had to admit that their Wan Clan was truly rich. That was 10 million grade 2 immortal stones! It was equivalent to the annual income of many clans.
Since he paid a fine of ten million yuan, he should be planning to protect the twenty young people of his grandchildren's generation. A fine of five hundred thousand immortal stones for each of them. Twenty of them was exactly ten million immortal stones. In the end, the next scene made everyone dumbfounded.
"I'll take my leave first. Let the youngsters have a good workout."
That's right, the Wan family's patriarch paid a fine of ten million not to protect his grandchildren, but to not participate in the war himself. He was a Perfected Golden Immortal Realm martial artist, and he alone had to pay a fine of 10 million. This guy was really rich. He was willing to pay a fine of ten million just for him. But at the same time, he was very stingy and refused to spend money on his descendants.
In the eyes of the rich, they were the most important person. Whether it was a son or a grandson, they were not that important. Anyway, he had plenty of money. He could marry many wives and have many sons. With a bunch of sons, he naturally didn't have to worry about grandchildren.
How ruthless!
This was Du Feng's evaluation of Wan family's patriarch. Wan family's patriarch was able to pay the fine of ten million yuan and leave without a care for other people's opinions. This meant that this person's skin was thick and his heart was ruthless enough. There was indeed a reason why the Wan Clan could become the wealthiest clan.
Very soon, the sons and daughters of the Wan Family Patriarch arrived at the city wall. A few of them paid their one million yuan fine and left. There were also a few who could not afford to pay the fine, so they had to stay. Du Feng noticed that those who could afford to pay the fine were all male martial artists. Among the female cultivators, only one could afford to befriend them. The rest all stayed behind. This showed that the Wan Clan valued men over women.
However, what was interesting was that none of them had the intention to pay the fine for their descendants or siblings. To put it bluntly, they were only protecting their own lives.
Interesting, it can be done like this!
The other patriarchs chose not to pay the fine, or paid the fine of one or two of their descendants. As long as they didn't pay the fine, they had to come to the frontlines to fight. However, the people of the Wan Clan were different. Although the patriarch only paid his own fine, some of the descendants could also pay their own fines. This showed that their finances were relatively independent.
This was the difference in the management mode of the family. In other families, the patriarch had the final say. In the end, when a large amount of money was needed, it was the patriarch who made the decision. Whoever the patriarch said to protect, they would pay the fine. Whoever the patriarch didn't want to protect, they would have to come to the front lines.
However, the people of the Wan Clan were different. The patriarch only protected himself. However, some of his descendants could take out their own money to pay the fine. What was more interesting was that among his grandchildren, there were also a few who could take out 500,000 immortal stones to pay the fine.
In the end, the City Lord Manor received a fine of 20 million from the Wan Clan alone. In other words, the Wan Clan paid two-thirds of the money to avoid the war.
If Du Feng guessed correctly, the Wan Clan should have already dug a deep cellar or even an underground palace. At this moment, those who had paid the money had already gone back to hide. In order to save their lives, they could be said to be unscrupulous.
No one had the right to laugh at the Wan Clan for being afraid of death, nor could they laugh at their ruthlessness. Because everyone was afraid of death. It was just that the Wan Clan had chosen their own way.
Following that, the other families all paid a little more or less, mainly to protect those who were especially young and talented. In the end, all the families did not pay a single cent of the fine. Only the Zhao Clan had all the people.
In addition to the Zhao Clan's patriarch being stingy, there was another reason. Their family was really prosperous. Among all the large families, their Zhao Family was the one with the least money, but they had the most people. They had a lot of children, so they could easily gather enough Golden Immortal stage martial artists.
Those with high talent would all stay, and even those with average talent would be able to easily gather the required thirty people. Therefore, the Zhao Clan did not spend a single immortal stone in the end. Ten martial artists above Golden Immortal stage and 20 martial artists between Golden Immortal stage 1 to Golden Immortal stage were all gathered. Including the Zhao Clan's patriarch himself, there were a total of 31 people standing on the city wall.
"All of you better perform well. Whoever kills the most demonic beasts will be rewarded when we return. Do you understand?"
Not only did the Zhao Clan's patriarch not allow his descendants to hide, but he also asked them to perform well and kill the enemy. Whoever killed the most demonic beasts would be rewarded when they returned.
"Understood!"
The clansmen were a little afraid of death at first, but when they heard that there was a reward, they were all excited. But Du Feng's first reaction was that the descendants of the Zhao Clan were really short of money. It seemed like all the money that the patriarch had embezzled.
"Very good, all of you should learn from the Zhao Clan. The City Lord's Mansion will also reward those who perform well."
Even the Zhao Clan's patriarch had come up with an incentive measure. The City Lord's Mansion was no exception. All the martial artists who came to the front line to kill the enemy would be listed as wanted. If they died, the City Lord's Mansion would be responsible for taking care of their funeral. If they were lucky enough to survive, they would be rewarded according to their performance.
This was especially true for people like Du Feng, who had come from other places to help out in the Demon Rejecting City. Moreover, the higher the Cultivation level, the more demonic beasts they killed, the more money they would get.
