102: Lion's Demand

"Three Sacred Artifacts."

"You nearly killed my two Personal Disciples, so you shall compensate with three Sacred Artifacts."

Su Muyao's expression was cold, and there was not a shred of room for negotiation in her tone.

The Huangfu Family almost killed the future Palace Master of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace; demanding compensation of three Sacred Artifacts was not excessive at all.

"This is robbery!"

Before Huangfu Wujiang could speak, a group of Elders from the Huangfu Family could not help but appear.

Aside from the Quasi-Emperor Expert Huangfu Wujiang, the Huangfu Family had ten Saint Realm Experts; this was the foundation of a top-tier family.

As for experts below the Saint Realm, there were countless.

Ten Saint Realm Experts stood behind Huangfu Wujiang, their faces filled with intense anger, their gazes fixed on Su Muyao as if they were spitting fire.

This was daylight robbery!

His Huangfu Family's accumulation over tens of thousands of years only amounted to a dozen or so Sacred Artifacts; for the other party to demand three at the drop of a hat was simply too much.

Most importantly, the other party's Personal Disciples hadn't even suffered the slightest injury; this was blatant robbery!

"What!? Uncle, Aunt! You say the Huangfu Family captured and brutally abused you, damaging your marrow and bones, causing Heart Demons to sprout, and making it impossible for your cultivation to advance any further!"

Just then, a surprised voice rang out heavily, and everyone's eyes shifted to the shocked-looking Mo Tianxiao.

He was seen crouching with a regretful expression in front of Zi Linger's frightened parents, his tone extremely tragic.

"Uncle, Aunt, you are so miserable! You clearly had a chance to become Saint Realm Experts in the future, and that bright future was ruined by Huangfu Yunteng!"

Zi Linger's parents looked at the grief-stricken Mo Tianxiao, then at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

They had a chance to become Saint Realm Experts?? Why didn't they know about that themselves?

They had some self-awareness regarding their own talent; reaching the Void Refining stage in this lifetime was about their limit.

However, they could benefit from their daughter's glory now and might be able to advance further, but reaching the Saint Realm was absolutely impossible.

What a Saint Realm Expert required was not just resources, but more importantly, talent and luck.

Everyone watched Mo Tianxiao's performance, not knowing what he was up to.

Just then, Mo Tianxiao looked up at Su Muyao, his eyes seemingly shimmering with tears, looking pitiful and helpless, and shouted hoarsely:

"Senior Su! These two, Uncle and Aunt, had the potential to be Saints, and they were just ruined by the Huangfu Family like this! Two Saint Realms!"

"Now that Uncle and Aunt have sprouted Heart Demons, they have no chance of reaching the Saint Realm anymore. This kind of loss cannot be compensated for by three Sacred Artifacts! It will take at least ten Sacred Artifacts to fill the void of the physical and mental damage done to Uncle and Aunt!"

The shrill voice struck everyone's chests like a meteorite, causing everyone's expressions to freeze.

Su Muyao's eyelid twitched violently twice, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of speechlessness flashed across her expression.

This kid was even more ruthless than her; this was the rhythm of emptying out the Huangfu Family's entire fortune.

Not far away, Zi Linger and Lin Wanyi stared at Mo Tianxiao with round eyes, their small mouths slightly open, not knowing what to say for a moment.

When it comes to being inhuman, you really have to let a demonic Cultivator set the example.

"You impudent brat! Is it your turn to speak here!"

Huangfu Donghai shouted angrily, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Mo Tianxiao, wishing he could crush him to death with a single palm.

Everything was caused by this bastard; if he hadn't been going against Huangfu Yunteng, how could all these subsequent events have happened?

Mo Tianxiao glanced at Huangfu Yunteng, walked silently to Lin Wanyi's side, and gave him the middle finger.

"Senior Su, do you think what I said makes sense? Do all of you present think what I said makes sense?"

"Sacred Artifacts are dead, but people are alive. Today I came to the Huangfu Family only to safely bring back Zi Linger's parents, but who knew that Huangfu Yunteng would actually not believe our identities and attack us!"

"Not only that, later when he couldn't beat me in a fair duel, he even sent out a Saint Realm Expert! A dignified Saint Realm Expert! Attacking us few weak Cultivators who couldn't even bind a chicken!"

"I have never seen such a shameless person in my life!"

Mo Tianxiao stood beside Lin Wanyi, his expression impassioned, every word sharp, not giving the Huangfu Family any face at all, and loudly reprimanded, "The Huangfu Family not only caused us physical harm! They also dealt a heavy blow to our psychology!"

"Linger and Nannan will both be the pillars of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace in the future! Yet today they almost died in front of the Huangfu Family's gate; how much damage will this cause to their young hearts?"

"They are just children now! Nannan just turned seven this year. If this experience causes them to develop Heart Demons and affects their future cultivation, what a huge loss that will be for the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace?!"

"I know everyone might think it's excessive to ask the Huangfu Family to compensate with ten Sacred Artifacts, but the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace is the victim. Is the future of the next Palace Master of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace not worth ten Sacred Artifacts?"

Mo Tianxiao suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the group of iron-faced Elders of the Huangfu Family, shouting loudly: "Is it unreasonable to ask you to compensate with ten Sacred Artifacts?"

"You impudent brat! Do you know how precious Sacred Artifacts are?! Opening your mouth to demand ten Sacred Artifacts! Why don't you just go rob someone!"

"Exactly! You want us to compensate with ten Sacred Artifacts! Don't even think about it, we won't give you even one!"

The Huangfu Family's Elders glared with rage, their blood-red eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

If it weren't for Su Muyao being here, they would have probably already attacked and crushed Mo Tianxiao until not even a scrap remained!

An impudent brat, relying on the backing of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace, acting like a dog using its master's power, lawless! Daring to challenge his Huangfu Family like this, he was simply courting death!

"Damn! Brother Mo is still the best! A Tongxuan Realm Cultivator, facing so many Saint Realm big shots, and he's not even afraid, he's actually arguing with them!"

"Don't you see who our Brother Mo is? He is the first male Elder of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace, how could he not be awesome? It's freaking amazing, okay!"

"Today really opened my eyes, seeing so many big shots at once. What if they start fighting?"

"It shouldn't come to that. If the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace were to go to war with the Huangfu Family, I'm afraid the entire Immortal City would be destroyed."

This commotion by Mo Tianxiao made him an idol in the hearts of many young Cultivators in the Immortal City.

A man should be like this: unafraid of power, cursing when he needs to, without hesitation, regardless of whether you are in the Saint Realm or the Saint King Realm, he doesn't take any of you seriously.

Huangfu Wujiang looked at Mo Tianxiao with a smile, feeling a bit surprised in his heart, "This little guy is interesting."

He didn't think Mo Tianxiao was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth; on the contrary, he felt the other party was a smart and potential-filled kid, otherwise he wouldn't have beaten his grandson into that state.

Raising his eyes slightly, he turned his gaze to Su Muyao and said slowly: "What does Palace Master Su say?"

Su Muyao glared at Mo Tianxiao, then said softly: "What he said makes sense, but ten Sacred Artifacts is indeed a bit expensive. Let's change it to... eight."

"..."

After Su Muyao's words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Seeing that the situation seemed a bit wrong, Mo Tianxiao quickly pulled Zi Linger and little Nannan along with Linger's parents to retreat, shielding Lin Wanyi in front of him.

The Elders and clansmen of the Huangfu Family all focused their gazes on Huangfu Wujiang; how to choose depended entirely on his word.

Huangfu Wujiang slowly raised his head, his deeply sunken eye sockets revealing a glimmer of eerie light, extremely terrifying, and a hoarse voice slowly came out, "Compensation is possible, but I'm afraid this old man cannot agree to Palace Master Su's conditions."

Su Muyao glanced at him, her Aura changing suddenly, and she said coldly: "Then I will fight until you agree!"
