Big sects like Lingxu Sect and Xuandan Pavilion really don't want to continue to be the subject of public discussion. The more they are discussed, the more people they will lose.
Although they were extremely reluctant to pay a "ransom" to a small sect like the Xianyun Sect, there was no other way. As a large sect, they could not abandon their disciples, so they could only follow the conditions proposed by Lu Xianyun, and send disciples to deliver spirit stones, medicinal materials, refining materials, etc., and then bring the people back.
"That's right!" Lu Xianyun said as he counted the spirit stones. "The defeated side always has to pay compensation to the victor. It's a reasonable request!"
Some sects are not so generous in giving.
After all, the sect's strength is not that strong. To put it bluntly, it cannot take out so much. Even if it does, it will be a serious blow to the sect.
So I always wanted to discuss it with Xianyun Sect to see if it could be reduced.
"No room for negotiation." Lu Xianyun said firmly.
If we really break this precedent for them, then wouldn't the other sects that haven't come to redeem people have to follow suit?
We have to make them feel the pain. Otherwise, they really think they can just attack other sects casually!
"Whether you've looted your own treasury, stolen it, or robbed it, I don't care. If the things you hand over are not enough, I won't let you go!"
If the victorious party is no longer tough, when can they become tough again?
It's both a matter of injury and damage, but it depends on which one you want to injure: the number of disciples or the amount of wealth?
As a result, some sects obediently handed over what they should hand over and took a group of disciples back.
But there are still some that remain in Xianyun Sect and have not moved.
It's those small sects. Even the sect leader is here, who else can make decisions for them?
It’s not that there are people in their sect who want to seize power and usurp the throne, but that the sect leaders themselves are unwilling to do so.
They refused to contact the people who stayed behind in the sect, so Lu Xianyun did it for them. Now they were extremely anxious, and they quickly used the communication talisman to start a communication themselves, telling the people in the sect not to send anything over!
Some people are like this, they value money more than life.
After all, if they sent the amount of money and property that Lu Xianyun requested, even if they returned, this sect would not be able to continue to exist!
What's more, they really didn't think Lu Xianyun would do anything to them.
They have been here for several days now, and Lu Xianyun has not done anything to them except locking them up!
So they just keep wasting time like this to see who can outlast the other in the end!
Lu Xianyun naturally knew what these people were thinking. She smiled and said: There will be a time for you to cry!
When setting up this trap formation, time was tight, but over the past few days, Lu Xianyun has made some improvements to the formation.
Now that all those who can be taken away have been taken away, the only things left are the stones in the pit, so this improved formation can be activated.
Tiangongmen had already decided to go back and came to tell Lu Minxing that they were ready to leave.
"Leaving now? We still haven't received a compensation payment! How can I divide it among you if you leave now?" Lu Xianyun said to them.
This was already agreed upon long ago.
After all, the Tiangong Sect had contributed, so naturally they also had a share of the spoils.
"But we've been out for too long. I'm a little embarrassed to have disturbed your clan for so long..."
Qiu Jichen, however, kept looking at Lu Xianyun in the crowd.
To be honest, he really wanted to stay a few more days!
Ever since Lu Xianyun had spoken to him that day, their subsequent communications were very normal and limited to matters concerning the war.
But even so, Qiu Ji Chen still felt unsatisfied.
He really wanted to talk to her more, no matter what.
Even though he saw her calm state and knew that they could not go back to the past, he still had greed.
After hearing this, Lu Xianyun nodded and said, "It's fine if you guys leave first. Take the previous portion back with you. I'll send it to you after these people hand it in."
"Will those people really hand themselves over? It has been delayed for so long." Qiu Ji Chen couldn't help but speak to her.
"Of course they will. I didn't use any tricks before, so they thought I was just locking them up like this. After a few days, they will probably scream and shout that they want to hand themselves over, and then I will let them out." Lu Xianyun said.
With that said, everyone in the Tiangong Sect immediately piqued their interest. Originally, they'd thought these small sects weren't making much money, so they wouldn't have waited for them. But after hearing Lu Xianyun's words, they all wanted to stay and see how these people would howl like ghosts and wolves.
So, I stayed for a few more days.
Those who were trapped in the formation began to feel something was wrong in the past few days.
Even in the past, they were not afraid of the wind and sun in this formation. They were all cultivators, so what could not be done with spiritual power?
But these two days were different. These two days, they suddenly couldn't absorb spiritual energy from the outside world!
This must be the work of the Xianyun Sect!
Humph, do you think it will be useful if you prevent them from absorbing spiritual energy?
They don't need to fight now, and their spiritual power consumption is very little. Even if they just maintain the spiritual power in their bodies, they can live for a long time!
But then, more serious problems emerged.
Not only were they unable to absorb spiritual energy, they also felt that the spiritual power in their bodies was being drained away!
Now they were panicking.
If they continue to be beaten like this, won’t they become dried up?
They finally understood why Lu Xianyun was so confident that he could make them bow their heads.
Originally, they had thought that if they were imprisoned to the end and the Xianyun Sect saw that they were determined not to pay, there would be only two possible outcomes.
One option is to let them go out of desperation, while the other option is to kill them in a fit of rage.
Anyway, they have made up their minds that they will not let Xianyun Sect take advantage even if they die!
But the situation is different now.
Having your spiritual power drained away is more terrifying than death!
For a cultivator, spiritual energy is life! If you die all at once, you won't feel anything, but if your life fades away bit by bit, it's terrifying!
They face the fear of death every minute and every second, which is a torture!
It had only been a short time, but some people had already become shriveled and aged due to the loss of their spiritual energy. Although there were no mirrors, by looking at the changes in the people around them, they knew what they should look like now.
This fear far exceeds death.
In a few days, I won't have to look at others anymore. Looking down at myself, my arms feel like dry firewood, my hands feel like chicken claws, and I don't even have the strength to stand up.
