The Sima family suffered heavy losses due to Sima Jie's affair, and used 40% of Ziyuan City's assets as compensation.
Senluo Hall, Guanxuan Pavilion, Chiyang Dao Palace, and Jiugongfang were naturally overjoyed to receive the promise.
Sima Jian felt annoyed by their smiles. He had to take the blame for this, since Mu Rongyi had entered as Sima Jie!
He looked at Qin Feng and his group walking towards them, and his mind raced. He had suffered a loss, but he couldn't let the Lord of Senluo Palace and his group be happy.
He suggested, "They saved so many of our children, we should at least show our appreciation. I think we should give them all the stakes this time."
Lord Sendo was quite happy to receive the compensation, but upon hearing this suggestion, his smile froze instantly. Was the benefit he hadn't even had time to warm up about to fly away again?
He just used the name of a junior disciple to solicit benefits from Sima Jian, and now Sima Jian is using the same reason to reward Qin Feng. It makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
However, by doing this, the Sima family would have to give up 10% of their assets. Sima Jian was essentially exchanging one for four, giving all the benefits to Qin Feng.
Lord Senduo, Lord Guanxuan, Lord Chiyang, and Lord Jiugongfang remained silent for a moment.
They don't actually want to give it. They are grateful, and they would be happy with just a little benefit. They can't bear to part with such a huge industry.
Dongfang Zhengyu had some guesses about Sima Jian's suggestion.
Qin Feng did the Sima family two favors this time. He not only saved the disciples in the mining area, but also eliminated a potential threat to the Sima family.
If the imposter Sima Jie were to actually become the head of the family, who knows what kind of chaos the Sima family would be thrown into.
Dongfang Zhengyu also agreed with Sima Jian's suggestion. If it weren't for Qin Feng's presence, his dozens of clansmen, along with his beloved daughter, would not have been able to escape.
These are the flames of hope for the Dongfang family, extremely precious, and it is only right to repay Qin Feng.
He was the first to speak, saying, "Gentlemen, I think Brother Sima's suggestion is very reasonable. If it weren't for him, all of us promising young people would have perished in this. I think it was well worth it."
Chu Tian of the Senluo Palace said gratefully, "Palace Master, this disciple feels that we should thank Qin Feng handsomely. We had already discussed this while we were inside."
As a leading figure among the younger generation, Chu Tian's words carry weight.
Lord Sendo looked at the dozens of disciples who had returned safely, somewhat reluctantly, but still agreed.
“The Sima family head is right. We should repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude. I agree to this proposal.”
At the same time, Jiuxiao was also communicating with Jiugongfangzhu, saying similar things.
The owner of the Nine Palaces Pavilion agreed.
In the end, all six major forces agreed to use the stakes of this bet as a reward for Qin Feng and his group.
Qin Feng and his group came to Dongfang Zhengyu's side, having overheard the gist of their discussion.
Dongfang Yue, sobbing, grabbed her father's arm and cried, "I almost didn't get to see you again."
Dongfang Zhengyu was also shaken, and affectionately rubbed his daughter's head, "It's good that you're alright."
Qin Feng and Leng Yuexi exchanged a smile.
Ao Ling rolled her eyes. It didn't matter if it was others, but Dongfang Yue had been with them from beginning to end. What danger was there for her?
Sima Jian bowed to Qin Feng and said solemnly:
"Young friend, your name is Qin Feng, right? You've done me a great favor this time. If this person isn't eliminated, there will be endless trouble in the future."
Dongfang Zhengyu also bowed respectfully, saying, "My three young friends, we are truly grateful to you all this time. This is the second time you have saved my daughter."
Seeing this, the other giants had no choice but to follow suit, otherwise they would appear ungrateful.
Qin Feng did not presume and earnestly returned the greeting, saying, "Seniors, there's no need for such formalities; it's truly beneath my dignity."
Sima Jian carefully examined Qin Feng, then revealed a peaceful smile and slowly said:
"Qin Feng has good news for you. Our six forces have jointly decided that, in order to repay your life-saving grace to our juniors, we will give you all the stakes in this bet."
Qin Feng remained silent for a moment, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Seeing this, Dongfang Zhengyu thought he was going to refuse, so he quickly advised, "Young friend Qin, these are all things you won."
Lord Senluo and the others also expressed their support, urging Qin Feng to accept.
Qin Feng accepted their kindness without much hesitation, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, seniors. I would be impolite to refuse."
He was just considering whether to accept these industries or have them converted into an equivalent amount of property.
After careful consideration, I ultimately chose the industry.
His parents and relatives would ascend to heaven sooner or later, so he made some necessary preparations in advance.
He wouldn't choose the Black Rope Immortal Realm, that awful place was out of the question, and the Nine Nether Immortal Realm was only slightly better; he wouldn't choose either.
The Purple Origin Immortal Realm is the best immortal realm he has ever seen in the immortal world. The six major powers here have all received his favors and should not be hostile towards him.
With the advantages of location and popular support, the Purple Origin Immortal Realm seems like a good choice for the time being.
Therefore, it is essential to have industries that can generate sustained revenue.
Seeing that Qin Feng had agreed, Sima Jian asked the Senluo Palace Master and the others, "Are you going to hand over your own properties, or will you use my Sima family's properties in lieu?"
Lord Sendo did not hesitate, "It's too much trouble to go back and forth, so let's just use yours instead."
The same applies to the other three.
In this way, Qin Feng controlled 50% of the Sima family's businesses in Ziyuan City, plus 10% of the Dongfang family's businesses, making his empire quite vast.
Seeing that everything was settled, everyone wanted to leave.
Just then, thunder rumbled in the distance.
Everyone looked over and saw that a disciple of the Senluo Palace was undergoing the tribulation of the Immortal King.
Chu Tian looked at the man and happily explained to his master:
"Palace Master, by a stroke of luck, we absorbed a lot of purple energy inside. Junior Brother Xia Heng was already at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, so he was probably able to break through while he was inside. Now it's all in the making."
Lord Senluo looked at the person undergoing tribulation and was overjoyed. He felt less heartbroken about the wealth that had just slipped away.
Boom!
Thunder rumbled again, but this time the sound came from a different direction; it wasn't caused by Xia Heng.
Jiuxiao exclaimed with delight, "It's Junior Brother Jincheng!"
The owner of the Nine Palaces Workshop immediately felt equal and smiled broadly as well.
However, it wasn't just the two of them who wanted to break through; it was like a signal that people from all sides couldn't resist breaking through at this time.
Dongfang Yue originally planned to return to her family to undergo her tribulation, but seeing the commotion, she couldn't resist and said, "Father, I want to undergo my tribulation too."
Dongfang Zhengyu was overjoyed, but thinking of Dongfang Yue's special constitution, he worried that something might go wrong, so he gave her a wink.
"Yue'er, don't worry. The conditions here are not good. Let's go back to the clan and talk about it."
Dongfang Yue understood and stopped insisting.
Leng Yuexi and Ao Ling could also attempt to reach the Immortal King realm, but they chose not to join the fray and had their own plans.
Even without the three of them, the thunder in the sky continued, and when it finally quieted down, there were thirteen Celestial Kings present.
The leaders were very satisfied. They also noticed that the disciples who came out of the mining area had made good progress, which made them even more grateful to Qin Feng and his group.
