Although the Chao Family experts were unconvinced, they did not dare to refute.
They felt extremely aggrieved. For countless years, the Chao Family had always been the one to judge others. They never imagined that so many Chao Family experts would not only fail to take down the enemy, but also be humiliated and held accountable by the enemy.
The scenery on this small island was beautiful and there were naturally countless cultivators sightseeing on the island. These sightseeing cultivators were now witnessing the Chao Family's humiliation.
That's right, so many Chao Family experts were silently listening to the interrogation. This was indeed the Chao Family's humiliation.
This matter could not be concealed. It was likely that some meddlesome cultivators had already spread the news through their communication beads.
It would not be long before not only the entire Blessed Region, but even the entire narrow God World would be discussing this matter. After all, the Chao Family was the publicly acknowledged number one family. It was likely that the other top families ranked below the Chao Family in the Great Regions would be very happy.
As the saying goes, the higher one stands, the harder one falls!
However, whether it was the Chao Family experts or the surrounding spectators, they all knew that this matter was not over yet.
The Chao Family was the ruler of a great region after all. Like the other top families in the Great Regions, the Chao Family had the support of the Sacred God. Today, the Chao Family had suffered such a great humiliation that a Saint God expert was bound to appear in the future.
This made everyone wonder if this insufferably arrogant expert would still be so domineering in the face of the Sacred God.
Xiao Lingyu also knew that he might attract the attention of the Chao Family's Saint God experts, but he was not afraid of the Sacred God. Moreover, even if the Sacred God was willing to appear, he might not necessarily be found.
Xiao Lingyu possessed a tubular saint artifact that could teleport. Even the Sacred God would not have an easy time finding him.
"You have done something wrong, but not only do you not have a good attitude to admit your mistakes, you even mustered such a large force to find trouble. Fortunately, I have some ability. Otherwise, wouldn't I have become a wronged ghost?"
"Since you're here, don't be in such a hurry to leave. The matter here will soon reach your patriarch's ears. If he still wants your lives, then pay with divine stones. A God King will only accept two million divine crystals, while a God Emperor will accept … thirty million divine crystals. You took twenty years to come here, so I'll give you another twenty years. If you don't deliver any divine crystals, then I'm sorry, but I'll kill one person every month. "
"That's right, please tell your patriarch not to invite the Sacred God over. If I see him, I will destroy all of your souls!"
After saying that, Xiao Lingyu imprisoned the terrified experts of the Chao family one by one and planted restrictions in their Divine Nascent Souls and souls.
"You can send a message out, or you can recuperate on the spot. But I advise you not to try to escape or resist. You are all experts, and you should know how powerful the restriction I placed on you is."
After Xiao Lingyu reminded him, she sat down cross-legged on a cliff by the shore.
Needless to say, Guan Yiwei and Qing Xuan naturally wouldn't leave. They stayed by Xiao Lingyu's side, and it took a long time for their expressions and mental states to return to normal.
In the God Realm, the speed at which news spread was naturally far faster than the speed at which cultivators traveled.
Before the Chao family could react, news of the battle at Floating Duckweed Bay had already spread throughout the Blessed Virtue Region. Naturally, Xiao Lingyu's words were included as well.
Like many rumors, the truth of the matter gradually became distorted. There were also many versions, but none of them were favorable to the Chao family.
The Chao family's reputation gradually declined with the passage of time.
It wasn't long before cultivators discovered that the person who had ravaged the experts of the Chao family at Floating Duckweed Bay was actually the person who had robbed the Kou family's marriage proposal party many years ago.
Even now, the Kou family's bounty on the master of the Hua Men had not been revoked. No one had expected the master of the Hua Men to openly oppose the Chao family of the Blessed Virtue Region, which was far stronger than the Kou family.
Who exactly was the master of the Hua Men? Why hadn't they heard of him before?
Far away in Ford City, the head of the Chao Family had also smashed countless teacups recently. This expert, who was known as the most powerful expert in the narrow God World below the Sacred God, felt as if he had been mercilessly slapped in the face. Moreover, it was in front of all the cultivators of the narrow God World.
This slap was loud and painful, but the Chao family's Patriarch had no choice but to endure the pain and humiliation as he sent people to obediently deliver the divine crystals demanded by the other party.
If they didn't compromise, and if the other party attacked mercilessly, the dozens of God Kings wouldn't be a big deal. However, the ten God Emperors were the pillars of the Chao Clan. If they lost ten God Emperors, the Chao Clan wouldn't be able to maintain their title as the number one clan. They might even have to give up their position as the lord of the Fortune Realm to the other great clans.
Fortunately, the Blessed Virtue Region had been peaceful for many years, and the Chao family had accumulated a huge amount of wealth. The other party's demand for divine crystals wasn't enough to reduce the Chao family's wealth.
However, the Chao family's Patriarch was worried that the other party would kill the experts of the Chao family after receiving the divine crystals. Therefore, he still invited the Sheng Deity behind the Chao family.
This Sheng Deity was none other than Old Monster Dugu!
Since Old Monster Dugu had just broken through to the seventh level of the Heaven Sword Secret Art, he had the time to come out. However, even though the Chao family had been diligent and respectful to Old Monster Dugu for many years, Old Monster Dugu didn't have the intention to appear for the Chao family. It was only when Old Monster Dugu saw the image of Xiao Lingyu that he changed his mind.
"Lord Saint, don't appear first. It's better for you to hide in the dark. It won't be too late to act after the Lord of the Hua Men receives the divine crystals and releases the experts of my family. If the Lord of the Hua Men refuses to release the experts after receiving the divine crystals, then Lord Saint doesn't have to worry too much. "
Before Old Monster Dugu set off, the Chao family's Patriarch specially instructed him with great respect.
"Do I need a junior like you to instruct me how to handle matters?"
Old Monster Dugu unhappily replied before leading the experts sent by the Chao family's Patriarch to the Floating Duckweed Bay.
A few months later, Old Monster Dugu had already arrived at the Floating Duckweed Bay. He then separated from the Chao family's experts and allowed them to negotiate first.
Since he had appeared, Old Monster Dugu naturally didn't want to ruin the Chao family's matters. After all, he had received many benefits from the Chao family in the past.
In any case, regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, Old Monster Dugu had already made up his mind. This time, he absolutely couldn't let that brat escape from his hands.
At this time, Xiao Lingyu had already invited Guan Yiwei and Qing Xuan into the Eight-Legged Taichi Cauldron. He no longer sat cross-legged, but instead stood at the top of the cliff with his hands behind his back. He looked into the distance and patiently waited.
A large portion of the cultivators who had watched the battle that year hadn't left the island. In fact, more and more cultivators had rushed over after hearing the news.
Now, the small island was almost full of cultivators. Some were purely here to watch the show, some were here to see how the Chao family would be humiliated, and some were here to see how the Lord of the Hua Men would perform.
No one thought that the Chao family would disregard the lives of so many Chao family experts and send another expert to fight the Lord of the Hua Men.
Since there wouldn't be a battle, no one had to worry about being implicated.
From the outbreak of the battle until the Chao family sent people over, only a little more than ten years had passed.
The Chao family's representative was an amiable old man. He didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance that a Chao family member should have. Instead, he had a warm smile on his face.
When he approached, the Chao family's representative didn't waste any time and directly handed over a storage pouch.
That storage pouch gently floated over from afar. Xiao Lingyu reached out and grabbed it. He sank his divine sense into it and saw a mountain of divine crystals.
He didn't count the number of divine crystals in detail. Xiao Lingyu was sure that the Chao family wouldn't dare to do anything to the divine crystals. Instead, he smiled and said, "The Chao family is indeed astonishingly wealthy. Since the Chao family has such sincere repentance, I won't make things difficult for you. Take these trash away!"
Hearing the words' repentance 'and' trash ', the Chao family experts felt a deep stab of pain in their hearts. However, they could only reveal a sad expression and didn't dare to refute.
"Dao friend, you should first follow the agreement and remove the seals on their bodies." The Chao family's representative said.
"I didn't make any agreement with you. I only said that I would release them if you sent over the divine crystals. I didn't say that I would remove their seals." Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said.
"This …" The Chao family's old man didn't know what to say.
"With the Chao family's ability, it shouldn't be that you can't even deal with my little tricks, right?" Xiao Lingyu asked with a smile.
The old man muttered to himself for a moment. Then, he didn't say anything else and quickly left with the Chao family experts.
Those seals were different from a soul oath. As long as the Chao family experts left Xiao Lingyu, those seals wouldn't be under Xiao Lingyu's control.
However, in Xiao Lingyu's opinion, God Emperors weren't capable of removing the restrictions he had set up. Even if the Sacred God was the one doing it, if he wasn't careful, he could cause the deaths of these Chao Clan experts.
Xiao Lingyu also expected that a Sacred God would come to find trouble with him after the Chao family experts left. Therefore, he had already brought out the tubular saint tool.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Lingyu didn't immediately teleport the tubular saint tool. Instead, he poured enough energy into it and waited for a while.
Old Monster Dugu was indeed nearby. He waited for the Chao family experts to leave before teleporting in front of Xiao Lingyu.
Last time, Xiao Lingyu had used the greater teleportation ability of the tubular saint artifact to dodge Eccentric Dugu's attack. Eccentric Dugu's memories of the tubular saint artifact were still fresh in his mind. This time, he did not plan on giving Xiao Lingyu a chance to escape. As a result, his powerful domain caused the space there to violently ripple.
"It's actually that old man!" Xiao Lingyu expected a Sacred God to come, but he didn't expect it to be Old Monster Dugu.
"Today, let's see how powerful this old monster's seventh level Heaven Sword Art is!"
