Originally, two people per family was already not enough. If it wasn't for the fact that the three great clans had to compromise, they would have asked for more.
However, even though they felt that two spots was the limit, Nangong Chengye was only willing to give up three spots. This meant that only one person from each family could enter the Death Zone.
Just as they had said, the Death Zone was filled with danger. They felt that it was even more dangerous now that there were only sixteen people from the original twenty people.
However, if only one of them entered the Death Zone, it could be said that there was no guarantee at all. It could even be said that they would be sending themselves to their deaths.
Previously, they thought that if two people from each great clan entered, they would at least be able to look after each other. This would make them feel better and give them a bit more hope.
If it was only one person, then they might as well not go. After all, it was basically impossible for them to return!
"Nangong Family Head, two spots is already very little. If we lose one more person, even if our people enter the Death Zone, they will still die. You should at least let them look after each other, right?" Chen Tianxing said with a frown.
Sure enough, the three great clans were stingy. Although the Ji Clan and the Nangong Clan weren't as arrogant and despotic as the Situ Clan, the Ji Clan and the Nangong Clan weren't willing to give up their benefits, even if the benefits were dispensable to them. This was human nature.
"Hehe, Chen Family Head, didn't Dongfang Family Head say it very clearly? You only want a chance, even if it's just one person. What? Now that Nangong Family Head has agreed to give each of you a spot, you think it's too little? Don't you think that you're asking for a yard after taking an inch? "The Situ Family Head said with a mocking smile.
"Hmph, that was just a metaphor. I hope that the three great clans won't go too far. In short, each of us needs two spots. Today, you have to give it to us, even if you don't want to. Otherwise, let's just go our separate ways. When that time comes, don't say that the Dongfang Family is deliberately making things difficult for you. "Dongfang Hong was throwing caution to the wind. Today, they had come for the Death Zone.
If they couldn't obtain the right to enter the Death Zone, then there was no point in participating in the Grand Competition. Rather than that, they might as well just lay their cards on the table.
On the other hand, with the presence of the three great clans, it would be difficult for them to get into the top three even if they participated in the competition. This meant that whether they participated in the Grand Competition or not, they had no fate with the Dead Zone.
Since that was the case, he might as well fight for it here. Although the result was not very good, at least they had given up the first step, and each aristocratic family had obtained a quota.
Furthermore, no matter what ranking they obtained in the end, they would still have a spot to enter the Dead Domain. Therefore, it was best for them to fight for another spot, which would also give their families a little more hope.
However, Dongfang Hong's threatening words had obviously intensified the conflict between the aristocratic families!
"Dongfang Hong, you're really climbing up whenever you see a pole. If we agree to allow two people from each of your clans to enter the Death Domain, wouldn't you have to ask us to give up two more spots in the future? So, no matter what you say, we can only give up one slot at most.
If you accept, then this matter is settled. If you don't accept it, then pretend we never said anything! As for tomorrow's Grand Competition, if you're not willing to participate, then we'll treat it as if you've forfeited. "Situ Yuanxiong said coldly.
If they were to be threatened by Dongfang Hong today, then wouldn't any Tom, Dick, or Harry be able to threaten them in the future? Therefore, he would never compromise with these people. Compromising meant that he would let them do whatever they wanted. He could not let them do whatever they wanted.
"We agree, we're also willing to give up one spot!"
"That's right, one is better than none!"
"Master Situ, don't worry, we'll definitely participate in the Grand Competition of the Nine Clans tomorrow!" However, at this point, the Masters knew that they could no longer force the Three Great Clans to take a step back. Instead of that, they might as well compromise on their own.
After all, regardless of the outcome of the Grand Competition, one of their disciples would be able to enter the Death Domain. This was already a great reward.
If they continued to insist on this, the other party would not give them any chance at all. By then, wouldn't they not be able to get a single spot?
Therefore, after much consideration, they decided to quit while they were ahead!
At this moment, only the Dongfang Clan and the Chen Clan had yet to express their stance. The two of them did not look too good. These fellows were really not good at accomplishing anything and were good at spoiling things.
If they could not force them to concede under such circumstances today, it would be even more impossible in the future.
However, these people were really too shameless. They were here arguing with the Three Great Clans, but they only knew how to drag them down. At such a crucial time, they actually handed over their own benefits. It was really hateful.
"Very well, a wise man submits to circumstances. Although there's only one person, this is already a great concession compared to before.
Although only one of you will enter the Death Domain, you can still follow the Three Great Clans and train inside. This will be enough to ensure their safety.
Therefore, even if you're alone, you won't be at a disadvantage. "Situ Yuanxiong looked at these people and said with a smile.
The few Masters nodded in agreement. Since things had already come to this, they could only accept reality. At least, they managed to secure a spot for their own clans.
"Hmph! A bunch of shameless people! " When Dongfang Hong saw how shameless these people were, he could not help but despise them. He only felt that being with these people was a disgrace to him. He scoffed coldly and left the hall.
However, the others did not care about Dongfang Hong's sudden departure. They were not as stupid as Dongfang Hong.
The Nine Great Clans were no longer the same as before. Now that the Three Great Clans were very powerful and the Death Domain was basically in their hands, they could not afford to offend the Three Great Clans.
It could be said that if they were willing to give you a mouthful of soup, you would get to drink it. If they were not willing to, you wouldn't even get to drink the soup.
From their point of view, Dongfang Hong's decision to go against the Three Great Clans was simply courting death. However, they weren't that stupid, especially the Jiang Family, even though they were the ones who proposed this time.
Even though he was the one who suggested this, this did not mean that he wanted to go against the Three Great Clans and completely fall out with them. He only hoped to bring more and better benefits to his clan.
