C4297 Compensation
Elder Kong Ming was leading the way in front of Ning Qi and Ning Qi, but he had mixed feelings. In his eyes, the old Sect Chief who had unfathomable means was crippled in just a single strike. Such means was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Ning Zixian wasn't surprised by it. After all, when he was facing the Treasure Pavilion, the Immortal Zuo invited by the Treasure Pavilion was also killed by Ning Qi with a single punch.
He couldn't understand Elder Kong Ming's feelings at this moment. Along the way, he looked left and right and nodded from time to time.
"The scenery of your Seven Swords Gate is quite unique. Cultivating the martial path here will yield twice the result with half the effort."
Elder Kong Ming forced a smile and said, "It's average. The scenery here is definitely not as good as Yan Qing City."
"You are quite modest."
Ning Zixian smiled.
After a short while, they arrived in front of a building. This was the residence of Elder Kong Ming, and there were Seven Sword Sect disciples guarding the building. They didn't know what had happened, nor did they know who Ning Qi and Ning Zi-Xu were.
When they saw Elder Kong Ming bring two guests over, they all stepped forward and cupped their fists in greeting.
"All of you can withdraw."
Elder Kong Ming ordered.
"Yes."
"Both of you, please come inside. Some of the antiques I've collected over the years are inside."
Elder Kong Ming forced a smile and called Ning Qi and Ning Zixian into the building.
Ning Qi went in to take a look and indeed saw quite a number of ornaments. It seemed that among the older martial practitioners in the pugilistic world, three to five of them were the same as Ning Huizu and liked to play with antiques like this.
Ning Qi walked past the antiques one by one and occasionally stopped to take a look. Some of them only glanced at the antiques. He had gained quite a bit of spirit energy from this round.
It was just that there was still a long way to go before he reached 10,000 points. Perhaps he could only gather it when he reached the Great Yan Sect.
"Second Uncle, let's go."
Ning Qi said with a faint smile.
"Will the matter of the Seven Swords Gate be settled just like that?"
Ning Zixian was startled.
Elder Kong Ming was instantly on tenterhooks as he subconsciously looked at Ning Qi.
"Their old sect's main cultivation base has been crippled. They won't be able to cause any more trouble. We can't just kill everyone here. The hatred between the Ning's Mansion and the Seven Sword Sect isn't even at this level."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
Elder Kong Ming's face turned pale again and again. He nodded subconsciously.
"Not really, but it should be reasonable to ask him to compensate me with a little bit of gold."
Ning Zi-Xu said with a strange expression.
Pure gold?
Ning Qi smiled and nodded. "This request is quite reasonable."
He looked at Elder Kong Ming and said with a faint smile, "Ask your sect master to gather fifty thousand pieces of pure gold and send it to the Purple Clarity Palace. Remember to say that it's for Ning Yan Qing and Ning Yan Dong."
"Fifty, fifty thousand gold?"
Elder Kong Ming's expression changed.
"Too much?"
Ning Qi said with a smile.
"No, not much."
Elder Kong Ming quickly shook his head and gritted his teeth. The Seven Swords Gate was still able to gather fifty thousand gold. It would be worth it if he could turn this matter into a small matter.
The opponent's means were truly terrifying. If it really flared up, the Seven Swords Gate would probably all die and no one would be able to escape. It would be easier to solve the problem with money.
"Then let's put it this way. In a month's time, I will send a message to the Purple Pure Palace asking if the gold is in place. Don't try to deceive us."
Ning Zi warned.
Sect Master Hall.
The sect master of the Seven Swords Gate didn't leave. He was still waiting. Not long after, he saw Elder Kong Ming rushing over alone.
"Where are they?"
The sect master of the Seven Swords Gate looked behind Elder Kong Ming, but there was no one behind him.
"Sect master, they have left."
Elder Kong Ming said in a low voice.
The Seven Swords Gate Sect Master immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The rest of the people also looked a little better. During this period of time, it was as if every day was like a year.
"It's good that you have left. This time, only the old sect master's cultivation base has been crippled. It's a blessing in the midst of misfortune. If we were to meet someone with a slightly irritable temper, our Seven Swords Gate might be in danger this time."
The sect master of the Seven Swords Gate sighed with a complicated expression.
He would never have thought that the old sect master's cultivation base would be crippled just because his disciples had returned to Yanqing City...
"Sect master, before they left, they had a request for our Seven Swords Gate..."
Elder Kong Ming said in a low voice.
"A request? You're not allowing the old sect master to leave the Seven Swords Gate, are you? I've already promised them just now, you guys should be more careful. Don't let the old Sect Master leave the Seven Swords Gate, or else they'll find out. I'm afraid we'll have to settle the score in the future. "
The Sect Master of the Seven Swords Gate.
"Yes, Sect Master."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Sect Master, their request isn't just this..."
Elder Kong Ming said in a low voice, "Before they leave, the Seven Sword Sect asked us to send fifty thousand gold to Reverend Zi Yang from the Purple Clarity Palace within a month so that the other two people in Ning's Mansion can cultivate with their spiritual roots."
"What? Fifty thousand gold?"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly.
This was not silver, but gold!
Fifty thousand gold was equivalent to five million taels of silver. It was definitely not a small amount. The Seven Swords Gate did not do much business. Usually, the disciples' cultivation speed depended on the Seven Swords Gate's businesses. There were also some businesses that were affiliated with the Seven Swords Gate.2
If they were to take out fifty thousand gold taels, it would really take half of the Seven Swords Gate's life!
"Is what you said true? They really want us to send fifty thousand gold taels to the Purple Clarity Palace?"
The Seven Swords Gate Sect Master's expression became somewhat ugly.
Elder Kong Ming nodded. He also hoped that what he said was false, but that was the truth. If they didn't send fifty thousand gold to the Purple Clarity Palace within a month, then there would only be one outcome for the Seven Swords Gate!
"There are only twenty thousand gold taels in the sect right now, and there is still thirty thousand gap left. How many do you have? Let's gather together and pass this trial first."
The Seven Swords Gate Sect Master looked at the Embryonic Breath Realm elders and Flesh Realm Deacon Chief elder.
This...
"I have five hundred taels..."
One of the Deacon Chief Elders sighed and said.
Five hundred taels of pure gold was all he had.
"I have three hundred."
"Seven hundred."
"[One thousand.]"
"Five thousand."
"Five thousand."
An ordinary Deacon Chief elder would at most take out a thousand gold taels, while the remaining few Breath Forging stage elders would take out five thousand gold taels. It seemed like their net worth was not small. These five thousand gold taels might not be their limit.
Everyone gathered together and finally managed to gather fifty thousand gold taels.
"Elder Kong Ming, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip. Fifty thousand gold taels isn't a small amount. Bring a group of disciples with you and send them to the Purple Clarity Palace. Finish this matter."
The Seven Swords Gate sect master said indifferently.
... "Yes."
Kong Ming nodded slightly. He felt that he would be the one to do all the troublesome things, but it was not his turn to do good things.
He didn't know if it was because his fate was unfair, or if his personal luck was really that bad.
"But compared to Elder Sun, it's fortunate that he didn't do anything to me..."
When Kong Ming left, he still felt some lingering fear in his heart.
