Chapter 171 The Conflict Between the Ice Palace and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan
The reason why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School presented such a generous gift is quite simple: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wants to establish a good friendship with the Ice Palace. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a support-type sect, and it would be a good thing to be on good terms with those powerful forces.
As for the generous gifts the Heaven Dou Empire bestowed upon the Ice Palace, all ownership of everything within a fifty-mile radius of Ice and Snow City was transferred to the Ice Palace. In addition, if the Ice Palace wanted to do business in the Heaven Dou Empire, it would only need to pay 10% of the original taxes on all business transactions.
The Heavenly Dou Empire went to great lengths to win over the Ice Palace, and the gift that Xue Qinghe presented was decided upon after discussions between Emperor Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe.
There's a reason why the Heavenly Dou Empire went to such lengths to win him over. Although the Heavenly Dou Empire is nominally an empire, anyone with a bit of knowledge on the Douluo Continent knows that the imperial power of the Heavenly Dou Empire is weak, and the nobles are rampant. Some orders that violate the interests of the nobles can't even leave the capital! As for those orders that the nobles can actually issue, they can be described as outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, completely disregarding Emperor Xue Ye.
Besides, various powerful forces gathered within the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Three Upper Sects were also located within its borders. All Emperor Xueye could do for these powerful forces was to win them over, maintain good relations, and preserve a semblance of peace.
As for Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, he was the last to go on stage to present a gift. Yu Yuanzhen had no complaints about this arrangement, after all, he was the weaker party and was there to apologize.
After presenting the gifts, Yu Yuanzhen said very respectfully to An Yue, "Palace Master An Yue, my people did not know that Ice Snow City was occupied by you. As the saying goes, ignorance is no excuse. I apologize to you on their behalf. Please, Your Majesty, be magnanimous and spare those who have been frozen by you!"
Yu Yuanzhen's attitude in admitting his mistake was very sincere, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that this reasonable person was the usually arrogant Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Ning Fengzhi originally thought that Yu Yuanzhen would make a big scene to seek justice for his clansmen and himself. He did not expect that Yu Yuanzhen would be so willing to put aside his pride and lower his proud head for the sake of his clansmen!
After hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, An Yue's expression remained unchanged, still indifferent. Xuanzi noticed that An Yue didn't want to talk to Yu Yuanzhen, so he stepped forward and said to Yu Yuanzhen, "Sect Master Yu, I have a question to ask you. I wonder if Sect Master Yu would be willing to enlighten me?"
Knowing he was at a disadvantage, Yu Yuanzhen replied with a very proper attitude, "Of course, what question would you like to ask?"
"How should we deal with this ant whose cultivation level is below that of a Title Douluo who has offended a Title Douluo?"
Upon hearing Xuanzi's question, Yu Yuanzhen's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition rose within him. However, he had no choice but to answer Xuanzi's question, especially since it was a fact tacitly accepted by all Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent.
"The strong cannot be insulted, and Title Douluos are even less likely to be insulted. Those who dare to offend the dignity of a Title Douluo shall be killed without mercy!"
After hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words and responding, Xuanzi couldn't help but applaud. Indeed, in the Douluo Continent, a Title Douluo cannot be dishonored.
"Sect Master Yu, if I were to tell you that your clansmen have offended the Palace Master, how do you intend to deal with them?"
Upon hearing Xuanzi's words, Yu Yuanzhen's heart sank. He knew his clansmen's character perfectly well. They might have really offended the Ice Palace Master. After all, the Ice Palace Master was truly a peerless beauty. It was understandable that his clansmen couldn't resist her charms!
"I will punish them severely and let them know that a Title Douluo cannot be dishonored!" Yu Yuanzhen said, downplaying the seriousness of the matter.
Upon hearing the severity of Yu Yuanzhen's punishment of her clansmen, An Yue scoffed and then said without any politeness, "This is none of Sect Master Yu's concern. After all, I have already dealt with them. By the way, when you leave, remember to take all that trash with you. Don't leave it here and dirty my ground!"
