Elder Kong Xuan led the way in front of Ning Qi and Xue Ying, his emotions extremely complicated. In his eyes, the old sect master, who had unfathomable methods, had his cultivation crippled in a single move. This kind of method had already surpassed the scope of what ordinary people could understand.
Ning Zixu was not surprised. After all, when they faced the Multi-Treasure Pavilion, the Left Immortal that the Multi-Treasure Pavilion invited was also killed by Ning Qi with one punch.
He could not understand Elder Kong Xuan's current mood. Along the way, he looked left and right, nodding from time to time.
"The scenery here in the Seven Swords Sect is quite unique. Cultivating martial arts here would yield twice the result with half the effort, right?"
Elder Kong Shen forced a smile and said, "It's just so-so. The scenery here can't compare to Yanking City."
"You're quite humble."
Ning Zixu smiled.
Not long after, everyone arrived in front of a building. This was Elder Kong Chang's residence. There were disciples of the Seven Swords Sect standing guard in front of the building. They did not know what had happened, nor did they know who Ning Qi and Ning Zixu were.
When they saw that Elder Kong Chang had brought two guests over, they stepped forward and cupped their fists in greeting.
"You may leave."
Elder Kong Chang instructed.
"Yes."
"Please come in. Some of the antiques I've collected over the years are inside."
Elder Kong Chang forced a smile and called Ning Qi and Ning Zixu into the building.
Ning Qi went in to take a look. Sure enough, he saw a lot of ornaments. It seemed that some of the older martial artists in the Jianghu were the same as Ning Huizu. They liked to play with these kinds of antiques.
Ning Qi walked past the antiques one by one. Occasionally, he would stop to look at them. Some of them were just glanced at by him. This time, he had gained a lot of spiritual energy.
However, he was still far from reaching 10,000 points. Perhaps he would have to go to the Grand Development Gate to have the chance to collect them.
"Second Uncle, let's go."
Ning Qi smiled faintly.
"Seven Swords Sect's matter, are we going to let it go just like that?"
Ning Zixu was startled.
Elder Kong Xuan was immediately on tenterhooks as he subconsciously looked at Ning Qi.
"Their old sect master's cultivation is already crippled, he can't do anything.
We can't just kill everyone here. The enmity between our Ning Mansion and the Seven Swords Sect isn't that bad. "
Ning Qi laughed.
Elder Kong Zhan's face paled as he subconsciously nodded.
"That's not necessarily the case. However, it should be reasonable for him to compensate us with some pure gold."
Ning Zixu said with a strange expression.
Pure gold?
Ning Qi smiled and nodded. "That's a reasonable request."
He looked at Elder Kong Kai and said with a faint smile, "Have your clan master gather fifty thousand pure gold and send it to Purple Pure Palace. Remember to say that it is for Ning Yanqing and Ning Yandong."
"Fifty, fifty thousand pieces of pure gold?"
Elder Kong Chang's expression changed.
"How old?"
Ning Qi laughed.
"No, not much."
Elder Kong Chang hurriedly shook his head. The Seven Swords Sect could still gather fifty thousand pure gold if they gritted their teeth. If they could turn this matter into a small one, it would be worth it.
The other party's methods were truly terrifying. If he were to really act up, everyone in the Seven Swords Sect would be wiped out. No one would be able to escape. It would be much easier to just spend some money to get rid of the calamity.
"That's settled then. The time limit is one month. When the time comes, I will send a message to the Purple Pure Palace to ask if the pure gold has been delivered. Don't try to deceive us."
Ning Zixu warned.
Sect Leader Palace.
The Sect Master of the Seven Swords Sect did not leave and continued to wait here. Not long after, he saw Elder Kong Chang rushing over alone.
"Where are they?"
The Sect Master of the Seven Swords Sect looked behind Elder Kong Chang, but there was no one behind him.
"Sect Master, they have already left."
Elder Kong Chang said in a low voice.
The Sect Master of the Seven Swords Sect immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The expressions of the others also looked better. Just now, they had felt as if a day had passed like a year.
"It's good that they have left. This time, only the Old Sect Master's cultivation was crippled, which is a blessing in disguise. If we had encountered someone with a bad temper, our Seven Swords Sect might have been in danger."
The Sect Master of the Seven Swords Sect sighed, his expression complicated.
He had never expected that the Old Sect Master, who had already stepped into the Celestial Sect, would be crippled just because his disciple had returned to Yanqing City … "Sect Master, before they left, they had a request for our Seven Swords Sect …" Elder Kong Chang said in a low voice.
"Request?
They did not allow the Old Sect Master to leave the Seven Swords Sect, right?
I have already promised them this. All of you should be more careful and not let the Old Sect Master leave the Seven Swords Sect. Otherwise, if they find out, I'm afraid they will come after us. "
The Sect Master of the Seven Swords Sect said.
"Yes, Sect Master."
Everyone hurriedly nodded.
"Sect Master, this is not their only request …" Elder Kong Chang said in a low voice, "Before they left, they asked us to send fifty thousand pieces of pure gold to the Purple Pure Palace within a month and hand them over to Spiritual Master Zi Yang for the cultivation of the other two people with Spiritual Roots in the Ning Residence."
"What?
Fifty thousand pieces of pure gold? "
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
This was not silver, but pure gold! Fifty thousand pieces of pure gold was equivalent to five million taels of silver. It was definitely not a small amount. The Seven Swords Sect did not have many businesses. Usually, the cultivation expenses of the disciples depended on the few businesses of the Seven Swords Sect and the merchants that were affiliated to the Seven Swords Sect.
Asking them to hand over fifty thousand pieces of pure gold would really cost the Seven Swords Sect half its life! "Is what you said true?
They really want us to send fifty thousand pieces of pure gold to the Purple Pure Palace? "
The Sect Master of the Seven Swords Sect's expression turned ugly.
Elder Kong Chang nodded. He also hoped that what he said was false, but it was the truth. If they could not gather fifty thousand pieces of pure gold within a month, then there would only be one outcome for the Seven Swords Sect! "Right now, the sect only has twenty thousand pieces of pure gold. We are still short of thirty thousand. How much do you have?
Let's gather together and get through this hurdle first. "
The Sect Master of the Seven Swords Sect looked at the Elders in the Embryonic Breathing Realm and the Deacon Elders in the Physical Body Realm.
This … "I have five hundred taels …" one of the Deacon Elders sighed and said.
Five hundred taels of pure gold was all he had.
"I have three hundred."
"Seven hundred."
"One thousand."
"Five thousand."
"Five thousand."
The normal Deacon Elders could at most take out a thousand taels of pure gold. The remaining Elders in the Embryonic Breathing Realm all took out five thousand taels of pure gold. It looked like they were not poor. Five thousand taels of pure gold might not be their limit.
After everyone gathered together, they finally managed to gather fifty thousand taels of pure gold.
"Elder Kong Chang, I'll have to trouble you to make this trip. Fifty thousand taels of pure gold is not a small amount. Bring a group of disciples with you to the Purple Pure Palace and settle this matter."
The Sect Master of the Seven Swords Sect said plainly.
"… Yes."
Kong Chang nodded slightly. He always felt that he had to do all the troublesome things, but never the good things.
He did not know if it was because of the unfairness of fate, or if his luck was really that bad.
"However, compared to Elder Sun, it is a blessing that the other party did not deal a heavy blow to me …" As Kong Chang left, he still felt some lingering fear.
