The scene was silent.
Even the surrounding onlookers, who were cultivators, were struck dumb.
Regarding the surrender of Chen Qing and the others.
The number one natal spirit puppet remained silent, offering no reply.
The atmosphere in the place grew even more bizarre.
But seeing this, Chen Qing's heart couldn't help but sink slightly.
However, they also knew that in their current situation, it was no longer appropriate to linger here.
Seeing that the number one natal spirit puppet had not replied for a long time.
This time, Chen Qing did not hesitate.
He quietly turned around, trying not to make any sound, and prepared to leave with the other plane masters from the Yin Zong District who had come with him.
But just at this moment, as Chen Qing made his move.
The voice of the number one natal spirit puppet rang out.
"I never said you could leave."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's heart sank instantly, but under the absolute suppression of strength, he could only manage a strained smile.
"Heh heh... Your Excellency, is there anything else?"
"You've destroyed my Penguin Medicine Pavilion to this state, aren't you going to compensate? Are you just going to walk away like this?"
The number one natal spirit puppet said indifferently.
Hearing this, even Chen Qing's thick skin couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Damn it.
But it was obvious that Chen Qing would never say it out loud.
They were the defeated ones now, and their lives were even in the hands of the other party.
The knife is in the hand of the butcher, and the flesh is on the chopping block.
Chen Qing said, gritting his teeth.
"How much compensation does Your Excellency want us to pay?"
To this, the number one natal spirit puppet did not speak.
He pretended to size up the Penguin Medicine Pavilion, which was already severely damaged.
"My Penguin Medicine Pavilion has become like this now, and the repairs will likely cost a lot of money. Coupled with the loss of business during the repairs, that's another loss. Each of you, compensate me with resources worth two hundred million spirit stones!"
"Cough cough cough, wha... what, two hundred million?"
Hearing this, even Chen Qing's eyes bulged.
Two hundred million resources, and each person had to pay two hundred million, they were a group of twenty to thirty people, which would be five to six billion in resources.
This compensation, how could you even say it?
Was your Penguin Medicine Pavilion made of gold, or was the floor of your Penguin Medicine Pavilion made of gold?
Pah, even gold wouldn't be worth this much.
Let alone two hundred million each.
Even if they compensated two hundred million in total, it was still a astronomical figure.
Two hundred million spirit stones worth of resources could probably buy the life of a cultivator at the ninth level of the Dao Integration realm.
After all, ordinary ninth-level Dao Integration cultivators, peak Dao Integration cultivators, and even the Tribulation Transcending cultivator in Yin Chuan currently.
If they didn't harvest from outside regions, it would take an unknown amount of time to gather two hundred million.
"To demand compensation of two hundred million resources each. Your Excellency... you must be joking."
"What... can't afford it?"
The number one natal spirit puppet looked at them with a half-smile.
"Fine, then I'll lower my demands. Hand over all the resources you have on you, and consider it compensation."
As soon as the number one natal spirit puppet said this, Chen Qing and the others' expressions changed completely.
To demand all their resources?
But this time, the number one natal spirit puppet's voice also turned cold.
"Some things, once done, must be paid for."
"I was originally conducting a proper transaction for pills with you, but you insisted on using force against me."
His voice paused, but this time, not only Chen Qing and his group, but even the surrounding cultivators from the Void Black Market could hear the killing intent in the number one natal spirit puppet's tone.
"Do you know why I didn't kill you directly this time? It's simply to give you a chance to buy your lives with money."
This was because the number one natal spirit puppet inherited Li Qi's personality.
Li Qi, as an honest person who diligently cultivated, would generally not engage in acts of killing and plundering.
Otherwise, in the previous encounter.
These people would not have been merely seriously injured.
After the number one natal spirit puppet finished his last sentence, he completely stopped talking.
Conversely, Chen Qing and the others' faces became uncertain.
But this time, they knew that there was no room for negotiation.
After a while, Chen Qing and the others finally accepted reality. Between their lives and their resources, they chose the former.
"Alright, Your Excellency, we admit defeat this time."
With that said, Chen Qing, at the forefront, directly took off all the spatial rings on his person. At this point, he did not dare to try to hide any part of it.
Seeing that Chen Qing had done so, the other plane masters from the Yin Zong District did not dare to delay any further.
With grief-stricken expressions, they unwillingly took off their spatial rings and threw them to the number one natal spirit puppet.
Before long, these plane masters from the Yin Zong District, who were once considered wealthy, were instantly reduced to penniless.
Even the other items they had previously purchased from other shops could not be kept.
"Alright, get lost."
Upon hearing the words of the number one natal spirit puppet, Chen Qing and his group did not linger and fled together in a dejected manner.
Watching the dejected figures of the Yin Zong District group as they fled.
The number one natal spirit puppet's lips curved into a faint smile.
Weighing the pile of spatial rings in his hand, the smile on his lips grew even richer.
This time, he even saved on the pills, which was an unexpected joy.
Seeing that this matter was almost over, the surrounding cultivators from the Void Black Market who had gathered to watch also lost interest and dispersed.
To this, the number one natal spirit puppet did not react.
He glanced at his own ruined Penguin Medicine Pavilion, but he did not pay much attention to it.
It would take about a few days to repair it casually.
The figure of the number one natal spirit puppet slowly walked into the ruined Penguin Medicine Pavilion.
However, at the same time, he muttered softly to himself.
"I wonder if letting them go this time will attract the one from the Yin Zong District. The guy from the Yin Zong District actually paid when he came to buy pills back then, which greatly disappointed the main body."
"That's right, I should also contact the main body about this matter."
With a thought, the number one natal spirit puppet contacted Li Qi, who was in the Earth Void Realm.
