Looking at the two jade pendants in front of him, Chu Di muttered to himself, "Senior brother is too stingy. He made two life-saving jade pendants with a wave of his hand. Is this what you call difficult to make?"

Dugu Jiansheng slapped Chu Di on the back of the head and scolded, "Talking about the Holy Son behind his back, you'll probably be punished in the future."

Chu Di snapped out of his daze and hurriedly bowed repeatedly to the void.

"Senior brother, please forgive me, please forgive me. I apologize to you."

The members of the Gold and Silver Gate smiled when they saw Chu Di's attitude.

Dugu Sword Saint turned to Jiang Mu and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, things have come to this point, what do you think..."

Jiang Mu was still shocked by Meng Fan's appearance, realizing that there were experts in the Shattered Realm in this world, and also understanding the power of the Shattered Realm. In front of the Shattered Realm, they, as half-step Shattered Realm cultivators, had no power to resist at all!

Hearing Dugu Jiansheng's words, he came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Dugu, rest assured. The Golden and Silver Sect has rid my Ziwei Sect of this scourge, and my entire sect is extremely grateful. How could we possibly pursue this matter?"

Jueyangzi also stepped forward and assured, "Fellow Daoist Dugu, once we return to the sect, we will inform the entire sect that Feng Bu'e has committed numerous evils, harmed fellow disciples, and secretly colluded with the demonic path in an attempt to overthrow the righteous path. It was only through the concerted efforts and sincere cooperation of the Jin Yin Sect members and Elder Jiang that this demon was eliminated at great cost. I believe the sect will also send us a gift of thanks!"

Jueyangzi's words were watertight, completely bringing the Gold and Silver Sect into the ranks of Ziwei Sect's allies!

"In that case, I thank you in advance, fellow Daoist." Dugu Sword Saint cupped his hands in greeting, and Jiang Mu and the other two quickly returned the gesture.

"Fellow Daoist, that must be Young Master Meng."

Jiang Mu realized that his own opportunity should lie with this person, so he quickly asked.

"Since Fellow Daoist Jiang understands, there's no need to ask further. I'm sure you'll know what to do once you get back and investigate. Let's take our leave here!"

Dugu Jiansheng was unwilling to say more, leaving his words to the point. As for what Jiang Mu would do next, that was up to him.

The Fourth Ancestor had already woken up from his coma. Seeing that the Golden and Silver Sect members were about to leave, he quickly led the four elders over.

"Fellow Daoist, I, Ji Yuan, am very grateful for your help this time. In the future, if you ever need my assistance, I, Ji Yuan, will not hesitate to do so!"

"It was nothing, but we hope that the Ji Yuan Empire will continue to look after those of us from the Gold and Silver Sect who travel outside the country."

"Definitely! Definitely!"

Neither side mentioned how many people died in the great battle. The Ji Yuan Empire suffered heavy losses, but the absolute military suppression by the Golden and Silver Gate made them dare not even mention it, and they even wanted to erase these memories from their minds.

Li Chaoqing looked at the Gold and Silver Sect members, hesitant to speak, knowing that it was best to remain invisible at this time. If the Gold and Silver Sect was dissatisfied with him, the five patriarchs would definitely establish a new ruler!

Even if he wanted to remain invisible, he couldn't. At this moment, Chu Di grabbed Li Qianyuan and stepped forward. Li Qianyuan's mind was already unclear, and he had obviously been crippled.

After rounds of battles, even someone with Chu Di's cultivation level almost fell victim to the attack, let alone Li Qianyuan, who had no one to protect him. It was already a miracle that he was alive!

"This prince insulted my Gold and Silver Sect and threatened to destroy it."

The five elders turned and glared at Li Chaoqing. How could Li Chaoqing not understand? He immediately disregarded his injuries and flew up, clasped his hands and said, "Young Master Chu, although this rebellious son has been crippled and is in a state of mental confusion, he has offended someone he shouldn't have, and he deserves this retribution. You may kill him or torture him as you see fit."

Without further ado, Chu Di slapped Li Qianyuan on the forehead, killing him instantly.

Chu Di flung Li Qianyuan off the giant sword, and the dignified prince died on the spot in front of everyone, his body nowhere to be found!

“I know you harbor resentment, but you understand better than I do the principle that martial arts are the highest virtue in the Qingxuan Continent. If you want revenge, come find me.”

Li Chaoqing wanted to cry. Although he was resentful, he had no intention of revenge. His son's life was not as precious as his own. He had so many sons, and this was the most useless one.

If there's anything that pains him, it's the thirty Transformation Realm experts he painstakingly cultivated; they truly cost him half his life.

But he dared not seek revenge. Not to mention that the Golden and Silver Sect had a Shattered Realm expert as its foundation, going against the Golden and Silver Sect was simply courting death. Moreover, the people of the Golden and Silver Sect were all incredibly talented, and they could use divine skills at will. Even if just a few of them came, Ji Yuan would not be a match for them. Their deep foundation was despair-inducing!

“Young Master Chu, it would be a lie to say that I have no resentment in my heart, but I, Li Chaoqing, am also a person who admits defeat. Since I have lost, I will do as you please and will not do anything despicable. Please tell me your terms, and I, Li Chaoqing, will accept them.”

Chu Di had been waiting for this very sentence. He pretended to ponder for a long time, and finally, Li Chaoqing heard the judgment against him amidst his trepidation.

"I can see that you are a man of integrity. The dignified Emperor Ji Yuan is indeed courageous and responsible, and has a good sense of magnanimity. I won't make things difficult for you. Just pay one hundred million taels of silver in cash."

"What?"

Li Chaoqing couldn't believe it. He thought that this time, even losing an arm or a leg would be the least of his worries, let alone losing his throne. He never expected that he would only need to pay some compensation, and not any divine weapons or precious medicines, just silver? Although one hundred million taels was indeed a lot, it was not something that Ji Yuan could not afford!

"What? Too much?"

Chu Di wasn't entirely sure how much tax money Ji Yuan paid each year, but he had roughly calculated it. An ordinary dynasty would pay several million taels of tax money each year. Although the expenses were high, if nothing major happened, they could save a few hundred thousand taels each year. Ji Yuan's size was a hundred times that of an ordinary dynasty. Although 100 million taels was a lot, Ji Yuan, with its deep foundation, should be able to come up with it.

"Not much, not much. Since Young Master Chu is so generous, I'll add fifty divine weapons or precious medicines as a bonus. Let's keep in touch often in the future. The doors of Ji Yuan are always open to Young Master Chu!"

Li Chaoqing was thrilled. He was already lucky to be able to keep the throne this time. As for Chu Di's request, he felt that it was definitely a matter of righteousness and not blaming him!

In his mind, Chu Di killed his son, destroyed thirty of his Void Transformation cultivators, severely injured five patriarchs, and severely injured himself. It would be too unseemly for him to ask for any more excessive conditions. It would be better to ask for some silver as a token of his appreciation, as compensation.

If Chu Di knew this guy's thought process, he would definitely sigh to the heavens: "Not enough!"

Time flies like an arrow, and years pass like a shuttle.

Half a year has passed since the events in the Ji Yuan Empire. With the Ji Yuan Empire's national strength restored, hundreds of thousands of large wooden crates are being continuously transported to the Huofeng Dynasty.

The silver transport team stretched for hundreds of miles. In the past six months, Li Chaoqing took out all the treasury silver and sold many treasures, finally raising 100 million taels of silver within six months.

This silver transport team, spanning hundreds of miles, has one Grandmaster every ten miles, one Great Grandmaster every hundred miles, two Unity Realm experts at the front and back of the team, and one Void Transformation Realm expert in the center. It can be said that the lineup is extremely luxurious!

The journey has been quite fast, and it is expected to arrive in the Fire Maple Dynasty before the end of this year.
