"Six at most, no more than that."
"Alright then."
After some haggling, Xia Tianqiong and the elder of the Silver Fir Clan reached a settlement.
The Silver Fir elder gave him six Emerald Hearts, and he broke the contract with the Monkey King elder, thus ending the matter and owing each other nothing.
Previously, saying that I would take as many as there were was completely outrageous and left room for the other party to bargain.
This thing is indeed a treasure to the Tree Spirits.
Using it to authenticate contracts and upgrade the level of the Tree Spirit is a complete waste.
Its true purpose is to increase the success rate of a powerful, mysterious tree spirit breaking through to the level of a powerful general.
Although it only increases the success rate by 10%, it is something that all other strange phenomena dream of.
It should be noted that in the entire realm of ghosts, other ghosts do not have such a thing to use; they can only advance to the rank of Ghost General through their own strength.
If Xia Tianqiong insists on making the Tree Demon Clan hand over all the Emerald Tree Hearts, it might push them to the brink.
Now is not the time to turn against each other; important matters need to be addressed.
Xia Tianqiong put away the Emerald Tree Heart, released the Monkey Clan Elder, and terminated the contract.
"Silver Fir, are you out of your mind! How could you give him so many jade heartwoods?"
As soon as the Monkey Clan elder was released, he yelled at the Silver Fir Clan elder, "Even if I don't give him any compensation, he won't dare to do anything to me."
"We agreed before we signed the contract that it would be terminated if he left, and he couldn't do anything to me. This kid's just trying to fool you!"
The Silver Fir clan elder was already angry, and upon hearing this, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
The gifts have already been given, what's the point of saying all this now!
Xia Tianqiong stood there with a smile and asked, "Elder Yinshan, he's right. Do you want to take your things back?"
The Silver Fir Elder ignored the Monkey Clan Elder and said to Xia Tianqiong, "The Monkey Clan Elder made a mistake, and this is the compensation you should receive. There is no reason to ask for it back."
Xia Tianqiong looked at the Monkey Clan Elder with a half-smile, "See? I told you the Silver Fir Clan Elder was more sensible than you."
At this point, his tone changed, "Alright, the matter is over, and it's time for me to leave your Tree Demon Clan."
"Absolutely not."
The elder of the Silver Fir clan quickly stopped him, saying, "You spent so much money on ghost money, and you're leaving after only a few days. I'm truly ashamed. Please stay a little longer so we can show you the hospitality you deserve."
Xia Tianqiong said with difficulty, "But it seems you didn't welcome me from the beginning."
"Absolutely not, I guarantee it won't happen again. Besides, the Leng family's cunning general is still waiting for you outside. Leaving now would be extremely dangerous. Why don't you stay here for a while?"
"Alright then, I'll bother you for a few more days."
Xia Tianqiong had no intention of leaving, so she readily agreed.
Moreover, the Silver Fir Clan elder had been patiently waiting for so long, hoping to use him to fight against the Void Clan and then plot against his Nether Gold. Now there's another reason: the Emerald Heart must also be retrieved.
In short, the Silver Fir clan elders would never really let him leave.
If he insists on leaving, we'll definitely turn on him and start a fight.
"Alright, I'm going to rest now. You guys keep chatting!"
Xia Tianqiong, accompanied by the old woman in the funeral clothes and the boy with glasses, turned and left without any further pleasantries.
Watching his departing figure, the Monkey King elder belatedly cursed, "That cunning human, he deceived me; he never intended to leave in the first place."
Elder Silver Fir glared at Elder Monkey King with exasperation, “Fool, haven’t you figured it out yet? We want to use him to fight against the Void Clan, and he wants to use us to resist the Void Clan as well, so naturally he won’t leave easily.”
"But……"
The Monkey Clan elder was about to offer a rebuttal when he suddenly held back, not wanting to further provoke the Silver Fir Clan elder.
He then began to talk about what had happened inside the forbidden area.
When they learned that Xia Tianqiong had mastered a forbidden technique, the two elders, Yinshan and Taoyao, were both astonished, but then their joy turned to ecstasy.
When the Peach Blossom Clan Elder got excited, her pretty face turned rosy red, making her extremely alluring.
She chuckled happily, "As long as we control him, our clan will have an inexhaustible supply of Netherworld Gold, and we won't even have to..."
"Shut up!"
The elder of the Silver Fir clan suddenly shouted, interrupting her before she could finish speaking, "Knowing it in your heart is enough; are you looking for death by saying it out loud!"
“Yes, whatever you do, don’t say it out loud, or you’ll trigger the rules,” Elder Monkey King quickly chimed in.
The elder of the Peach Blossom Clan suddenly realized what he had said and almost blurted out something he shouldn't have. "Thank goodness, I got too excited."
The Silver Fir Clan elder's anger had finally subsided considerably. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "It's too early to talk about these things now. First, we need to deal with the Leng Family's treacherous generals who are harassing us outside. Then, we need to send troops to the Void Clan to retrieve the sacred artifact. Only then can we deal with Xia Tianqiong."
The Peach Blossom Clan Elder nodded in agreement, but the Monkey Clan Elder still had other ideas.
He said cautiously, "I still don't feel safe enough. Yesterday we confirmed that Lao Liu was not his inside man, but we still can't be sure that he wasn't sent by the Void Clan."
The elder of the Silver Fir clan suddenly turned around and kicked him, saying, "If you dare to cause trouble again, I will personally send you to seclusion for death."
The Monkey Clan members were prepared; they simply twisted their hips and dodged the kick.
Then he quickly begged for mercy, "Don't rush, let me finish, I'll just talk, I won't do anything."
The Silver Fir elder retorted angrily, "What other nonsense can you come up with? Weren't you just fooled by a few humanoid monsters? More than a hundred years have passed, why hold such a grudge?"
The elder of the Monkey Clan kept his distance and continued, "I'm just saying what's on my mind. If you think it doesn't make sense, just pretend I didn't say anything, okay?"
"Alright, let him talk, or he'll choke on it," Elder Taoyao advised.
