Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 937 - 911: Great Harvest

Ling Youkang and the three others were shocked, their faces changed drastically. They had witnessed Tangyu’s power and naturally wouldn’t doubt his words. Even a black-robed cultivator was slain by him with one sword strike, let alone these four.

The four of them had planned for so long and made all the preparations, hoping to achieve a definitive success this time, deciding the fate of the situation. But they hadn’t expected such a major variable to appear, truly making the four of them feel like vomiting blood.

In the face of the threat of death, what pride did the four have left?

"Stop! Young hero, wait a moment, let’s talk this over. Luo Family Head, we admit defeat, everything can be discussed." Ling Youkang immediately said.

"Yes, yes, we admit defeat, Luo Family Head please make him stop, let’s talk this over." Gao Tianqiu also admitted defeat.

In the face of death, nothing else mattered anymore.

Dignity and such could also be directly discarded.

Tangyu actually didn’t really intend to kill the four of them, he was just giving them a warning show of force, and then letting the Luo Family decide how to handle them. After all, it was best for the Luo Family to have control over the matter this time around. Tangyu was merely helping out, and it was not suitable for him to decide too much on these matters.

Having achieved his goal, it was a success for Tangyu.

Tangyu looked at Luo Shanghua and Luo Binwang and asked, "What do you think?"

Luo Binwang stepped forward, looking gratefully at Tangyu, and said, "Let me talk it over first. If the discussion satisfies me, I don’t want to cause a massacre, making Raofeng Town flow with blood. Hmph, but if it doesn’t satisfy me, I don’t mind going on a killing spree and erasing the Ling Family and Gao Family from Raofeng Town completely. Then, my Luo Family would dominate alone, controlling Raofeng Town entirely, which wouldn’t be a bad thing for the Luo Family."

Ling Youkang and the others now dared not express their anger and had become prisoners with no rights.

Luo Binwang wasn’t someone to be trifled with either, and he was fully capable of massacring both families.

Luo Binwang, with a stern face, looked at Ling Youkang and the others, snorted coldly and said, "If it weren’t for not wanting a big conflict leading to bloodshed, today I would definitely slaughter all of you to unify Raofeng Town. Considering the longstanding relationship between our three families over the past hundred years, I can spare you today, but there’s no way I’ll let you off easily. Decide how you will redeem your lives, and I hope what you say will satisfy me."

The four of them exchanged glances, feeling an intense bitterness in their hearts.

Wanting to reconcile peacefully didn’t seem to be an easy task, and significant compromise would be required this time.

The four discussed among themselves, and after a while, Ling Youkang said, "Luo Family Head, this time we had our minds flooded with water and, in a moment of confusion, acted against our superiors, committing a horrendous mistake. This time, we’ll let the Luo Family Head punish us, without any resistance."

Ling Youkang was extremely shrewd, throwing the ball directly back to Luo Binwang, so they wouldn’t have to worry about suggesting something unsatisfactory and facing deadly consequences.

This response was indeed the most clever.

Luo Binwang seemed to have anticipated their response and said, "Since you can’t come up with anything, I’ve thought it through for you. First: you must swear a Heavenly Oath to remain loyal to my Luo Family and follow our orders unconditionally. Second, for your heinous acts this time, each family must compensate my Luo Family with two hundred thousand lower-grade Pure Yang Stones. Third, you may retain your businesses, but each day you must remit thirty percent of your profits to our Luo Family, for a period of one hundred years."

"These three items are non-negotiable. Agree, and this matter is resolved today. If not, blades will meet, and everything belonging to your two families will become ours still. With this compensation, you’re getting off lightly."

What—

Upon hearing Luo Binwang’s words, Ling Youkang and the others were stunned, like being struck by lightning, their hearts ached fiercely.

Two hundred thousand lower-grade Pure Yang Stones constituted half of the savings of the two families.

Giving thirty percent of the annual profits to the Luo Family could make life difficult for the two families.

But what else could they do? Besides agreeing, was there any other way? In any case, fortunately, Luo Binwang wasn’t pushing them to extinction; the terms weren’t exceedingly unreasonable. What had to be paid could be afforded.

"Fine, we agree." Ling Youkang said, sounding dispirited.

The victor takes all, the defeated have no say.

After the four swore their Heavenly Oaths, Luo Binwang allowed them to leave to prepare the compensation. Bound by the Heavenly Oaths, they dared not harbor any thoughts of rebellion, lest they incur divine retribution.

The Heavenly Oath’s binding force on cultivators is extraordinarily strong, and no one dares to defy it.

Otherwise, once the punishment descends, death is inevitable.

This crisis ended, in a rather dramatic resolution.

Luo Binwang and Luo Shanghua felt extremely satisfied; clearly, with this turn of events, the Luo Family was set to rise to supreme brilliance, marking this as their exceptional contribution, one that could bring them pride in front of their ancestors.

"Fellow cultivator Tangyu, such a great kindness and virtue, my Luo Family truly does not know how to repay it," Luo Binwang looked at Tangyu with immense gratitude, genuinely at a loss for words.

Because of Tangyu, not only did my Luo Family avoid the disaster of extinction, but we also turned the misfortune into a blessing by completely subjugating the Ling Family and Gao Family in one fell swoop. This is a hundred-year endeavor for the Luo Family, and it can lead the Luo Family to unparalleled glory.

This is an immeasurable kindness to our Luo Family.

Tangyu waved a hand and said, "This is your Luo Family’s fortune, it just so happened that we passed by and lent a helping hand. It’s a chance for us to establish a positive connection. Now that your matters are resolved, it’s time for the three of us to set off."

Hearing Tangyu’s intention to leave, Luo Binwang paused slightly but didn’t insist for long, saying, "The three of you must have important matters to attend to, so I won’t insist. However—I have prepared a banquet, let our Luo Family fulfill some host duties and express our gratitude before you depart."

Luo Xiaobing said, "Tangyu, must you leave so soon? How about staying a few more days so I can show you around Raofeng Town."

Tangyu shook his head, "No need, there really isn’t much to see."

Indeed, there wasn’t much to see in Raofeng Town. Luo Xiaobing thought for a moment and said, "Aren’t the three of you planning to go to the Yanshan Sect? There’s still a month left, no rush. I’ve just advanced to the Mystic Law Realm, perfect for trying at the Yanshan Sect, so let’s travel together. With me guiding you, it’ll be more convenient."

The Mystic Law Realm meets the requirements for selection as a disciple of the Yanshan Sect. Naturally, Luo Xiaobing wanted to give it a try.

Hearing this, Luo Binwang immediately said, "Yes, fellow cultivator Tangyu, you’ve come from afar and might not be familiar with Yanshan. Having my daughter accompany you provides some support. She knows Yanshan quite well, which can help avoid unnecessary trouble. Our Yanshan area is remote and rugged, with bandits and robbers. If by some accident, you might face considerable danger. Although you and your companions are formidable, there’s no need to court trouble."

"If delayed, it could ruin important matters."

With the two speaking in this manner, Tangyu looked to Zicang and Yu Feng for consultation. Yu Feng chuckled teasingly, "Why look at us? We’re following you. Third Brother, isn’t this just what you like? I see you’re secretly happy about it."

Tangyu’s face reddened slightly, who said he was secretly happy, not at all.

It’s just a beauty; it’s not like he hasn’t met any before.

But having Luo Xiaobing accompany on the journey wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Tangyu nodded, "Very well, in that case, we’ll stay one more day and set off early tomorrow."

"Alright, I’ll prepare today, and we’ll leave early tomorrow," Luo Xiaobing expressed her delight.

Luo Binwang and Luo Shanghua, naturally, beamed with joy.

Luo Binwang stepped forward and brought the Qiankun Bag and the sword from the black-robed elder to Tangyu, saying, "Fellow cultivator Tangyu, these are your spoils of war, please take them. As for the forty thousand lower-grade Pure Yang Stones the Ling Family and Gao Family will hand over, I will give them to you with both hands and hope you won’t refuse. This is entirely your merit, so consider it a small reward."

Tangyu paused slightly; he could accept the belongings of the black-robed elder without qualms, but he felt uneasy accepting compensation from the Ling Family and Gao Family.

Even though forty thousand lower-grade Pure Yang Stones are indeed great wealth.

In the Cultivation World, Pure Yang Stones are graded, with the lowest being lower-grade, then middle-grade, upper-grade, and top-grade, followed by Immortal Stones.

Even a single lower-grade Pure Yang Stone is not something most people can produce.

Forty thousand Pure Yang Stones could easily equate to the Luo Family’s annual income. A Mystic Law Realm Second Layer cultivator with ten thousand lower-grade Pure Yang Stones is considered well-off.

Just like Zicang and others used lower-grade Pure Yang Stones to seal themselves; the entire amount perhaps is at most a thousand stones.

Forty thousand is certainly a terrifying figure.

Seeing Tangyu’s hesitation, Luo Binwang added, "Fellow cultivator Tangyu, please do not refuse, these rightfully belong to you. If you do not accept, our Luo Family would be quite uncomfortable."

Faced with Luo Binwang’s enthusiasm, Tangyu could only say, "Alright then, I will accept them."

"Haha, good, good. Come, please, let’s have some tea first," Luo Binwang laughed heartily, making a gesture of invitation.

Tangyu stored the Qiankun Bag and sword of the black-robed elder; the sword was a middle-grade Spiritual Artifact, roughly valued at around five thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.

The grades of Spiritual Artifacts are also lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, and top-grade.

The grading of Pure Yang Stones follows the same pattern, with exchange units being one hundred, meaning one middle-grade Pure Yang Stone equals one hundred lower-grade Pure Yang Stones, and so forth.

This time, Tangyu had indeed gained a great deal.
