330: Chapter 330 Fish Resolve Conflict

"Father, and all the Elders present, please hear Yuer out.

After careful consideration, Yuer believes we should reclaim the thirty percent of Advanced resources held by the Jin Family and use them to compensate the Disciples of the Elders for the losses they suffered in the past.

As for the specific distribution method, it can be determined based on the degree of loss incurred during the years of conflict with the Jin Family.

And how should we handle the members of the Jin Family at the Source Venerable level and above? My idea is that when the next Year of Calamity arrives, we order the Jin Family to dispatch thirty percent more Source Venerables than usual to participate.

In this way, we can effectively reduce the Jin Family's overall strength without making the pressure unbearable for them.

At the same time, it avoids offending that powerful existence whose identity remains unknown and whose strength is unfathomable due to excessive suppression!"

Bao Yuer explained her views methodically. In her mind, the reason the Jin Family dared to covet the Pavilion Master's throne before was nothing more than having the Grand Elder's backing.

But now that the Grand Elder has fallen, they surely won't dare to have any more improper thoughts.

Furthermore, it is worth noting that the Jin Family's Old Ancestor was not completely wiped out; instead, he chose to self-disintegrate, dissipating his Origin, which led to his fall.

This situation is worlds apart from being thoroughly annihilated!

Given time and after countless Universe Calamity Years, who can guarantee that Jin Bubai will not rise again?

If he were to learn then that the Jin Family had been destroyed, the Wanjie Pavilion would likely Face an unprecedented catastrophe.

However, she kept these thoughts in her heart and certainly did not dare to bring them out into the open.

After all, if she really said it, wouldn't it make her father lose Face?

Back when the Grand Elder was still alive, her father was roughly his equal, their strengths being on par.

Now that the Grand Elder has fallen, if her father were still wary of him, it would truly leave his Face with nowhere to rest!

Just then, the Pavilion Master smiled and spoke: "Hmm, I think the suggestion Yuer proposed is quite good. However, on this basis, we need to add one more regulation.

That is, when the next Year of Calamity arrives, of the two Jin Family experts at the Late Stage Source Emperor Realm, one must be dispatched to participate in the operation."

After saying this, the Pavilion Master nodded with a gratified expression.

He sighed inwardly: My daughter is truly extraordinary after all; she can come up with the most ingenious response strategies every time.

"Does anyone here hold an opposing view?"

The Pavilion Master's gaze slowly swept across the Elders seated below, a gentle smile on his Face as he inquired softly.

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment, no one spoke.

Then, a white-haired, stooped but vigorous old man was the first to break the silence: "This old man agrees with that girl Yuer's idea."

The speaker was Elder Huang. He stroked his sparse beard and nodded slightly in approval.

For him, as long as the overall strength of the Wanjie Pavilion could be preserved without too much loss, he wouldn't have many objections regardless of the decision.

The Pavilion Master smiled and nodded to Elder Huang, then turned his gaze to the middle-aged Elder in gold robes sitting to the side and asked, "So, Elder Jin, what is your opinion?"

This middle-aged Elder in gold robes was named Jin Baihui, a powerful Cultivator at the Middle Stage Source Realm.

He was exceptionally gifted, and his strength was enough to rival an ordinary Late Stage Source Emperor Elder, with great future potential.

Therefore, the Pavilion Master placed particular importance on his views. After all, someone like Jin Baihui had already become an indispensable pillar of the Wanjie Pavilion.

Upon hearing the Pavilion Master's question, Jin Baihui hurried to rise from his seat and gave a respectful bow.

He spoke slowly, "Lord Pavilion Master, given the existence of that mysterious and unfathomably powerful expert, the plan proposed by Young Miss Yuer is indeed the most appropriate response for the moment."

"Hmm, in that case, Elder Bai, I will entrust this matter to you."

The Pavilion Master's gaze slowly turned toward the white-haired, lean-faced old man standing beside Elder Huang, and he spoke slowly.

The old man known as Elder Bai bowed slightly, then straightened up and nodded solemnly, responding: "Please rest assured, Pavilion Master. Old Bai will go all out to handle this matter properly."

With that, he stood up steadily, his eyes flashing with a determined light as he gave his guarantee to the Pavilion Master.

It should be noted that this Elder Bai, like Elder Huang, was a top expert within the Pavilion Master's lineage—a Late Stage Source Emperor.

Their strength was unfathomable, and their reputations were far-reaching.

Meanwhile, in the distant Jin Family estate, the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.

At this moment, the Jin Family's clan Elders, ancestors, and the current Family Head were sitting together, heatedly discussing a major decision, but they had yet to reach a consensus.

Time passed minute by minute as the group argued incessantly, and the situation remained at a stalemate.

Finally, with no other options left, Jin Guang and Jin Qiang, two core figures who were also Late Stage Source Emperors, slammed the table.

They shouted in unison, "Enough! No more discussion!"

Then, Jin Guang looked around the room and said in a heavy voice, "Our Jin Family will follow the Old Ancestor's final instructions before his death. We have decided to break away from the Wanjie Pavilion, leave this vast Universe, and head to other unknown lands to seek the long-term development of our Family."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present showed a look of shock, but no one spoke out in opposition.

Because everyone knew that this was already one of the most feasible methods currently available.

However, wanting to leave the Wanjie Pavilion smoothly was no easy task.

To prevent the Pavilion Master from interfering or making things difficult for the Jin Family, Jin Guang and Jin Qiang, after careful consideration, resolutely decided to exhaust all of the Jin Family's chaos stones.

They would also offer fifty percent of their Advanced resources as a bargaining chip to gain the Pavilion Master's consent for the Jin Family's departure.

However, just when the two of them thought everything would proceed according to their plan, something that surprised them greatly suddenly occurred.

Who would have thought that the Pavilion Master would actually instruct Elder Bai to deliver the disposal plan for the Jin Family to them!

When this disposal plan fell into their hands, after just a quick glance, the two of them nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

Not only that, but to express their gratitude for Elder Bai's assistance this time, they secretly gifted him ten incredibly precious chaos stones as a thank-you gift.

One must know that in this outcome, although the Jin Family would lose several powerful Source Venerables, as long as the Jin Family remained in the Wanjie Pavilion, they would still be able to receive a considerable amount of chaos stones in the future.

For the two of them, this was undoubtedly an extremely attractive condition.

After all, as long as they had enough chaos stone resources for support, they would have hope of successfully breaking through their current Realm Bottlenecks and ascending to the long-dreamed-of Peak Source Emperor Realm.

Of course, there was one more thing worth mentioning—the matter of one of them being responsible for leading the expedition during the next Year of Calamity.

Although this matter indeed carried a certain degree of risk, fortunately, based on past experience, almost no Peak Source Emperor had ever met with the misfortune of falling during a Year of Calamity.

Therefore, all things considered, such an arrangement wasn't too bad.
