I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Chapter 343 Compensation

What Song Qing and Song Bai?

Lu Xuan never took it seriously.

Since this kid dared to act presumptuously in front of me, he was destined to be beaten to death by me.

They even killed the vice sect master of the Heavenly Soul Sect, so why would they care about a mere, worthless elder like you?

No matter how high your status or background is, it doesn't matter to Lu Xuan.

I might have respected you before.

But now we need to take a closer look to see who should be respecting whom!

They watched as Song Qing was killed.

A strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in Lao Wei's heart.

When he saw Lu Xuan make his move, he clearly sensed that something was wrong, so Old Wei didn't think too much and immediately shouted.

"withdraw!"

Old Wei wanted to quickly evacuate with the people who had just arrived.

However, just as Lao Wei was about to escape...

But then he saw a stunningly beautiful figure in a blue Taoist robe suddenly blocking his way.

"Didn't you hear what Old Lu said? They all have to die."

Mo Yan looked coldly at Old Wei, then raised her fist and threw a punch.

"boom!"

Even if Elder Wei wanted to resist, he was powerless to respond to Mo Yan's iron fist at that moment.

He immediately gritted his teeth and hissed, circulating the spiritual power around his body in an attempt to resist this attack.

But the next moment, it was shattered by the terrifying fist energy fluctuations of Mo Yan.

"Bang!"

Elder Wei's entire body was instantly sent flying backward.

As his body flew backward, it shattered into pieces with a loud bang, unable to withstand the force.

Immediately, Elder Wei's corpse exploded into countless bursts of blood.

Yan Meng also wielded a soft sword and swiftly charged forward.

As the sword's edge swirled, flashes of cold light streaked across the air.

shhhhhh!

Several experts from the Sun and Guo families were all killed by their swords.

Yan Meng is a peak fourth-grade expert. Her movements are extremely fast. Whether you are a third-grade or fourth-grade cultivator, you will all be shredded under Yan Meng's sword.

Seeing their opportunity, Li Wei and the others launched a counterattack.

Charge towards the enemy ahead.

The enemy had the upper hand earlier and had injured many of their men. Now they finally had a chance to get revenge. Since they had the upper hand, they absolutely could not give the enemy a chance to catch their breath.

"How could this happen..."

"What's going on here...?"

Neither the head of the Sun family nor the head of the Guo family could have imagined that things would develop in this way.

They had just been in a great position, but in the blink of an eye, they have fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Almost instantly, the situation reversed.

Neither of them understood what was going on.

Then they saw a large number of their experts fall.

"Let's fight them!"

The head of the Guo family roared.

And just as the head of the Guo family finished shouting...

Then they saw the head of the Sun family suddenly raise his hand.

"My Sun family is willing to surrender!"

"Please, esteemed elders, spare my life! Show mercy!"

The head of the Sun family raised his hand and shouted loudly.

Without the slightest hesitation.

When the Guo family patriarch saw the Sun family patriarch surrender so quickly, it was utterly despicable. He hadn't even had a chance to speak yet, and this scoundrel had already surrendered!

"My Guo family also surrenders!"

"Everyone, stay still! Don't resist!"

The head of the Guo family also roared.

He urged everyone to give up resistance.

Lu Xuan did not rush to attack those who surrendered.

After all, when it comes to dealing with the Heavenly Soul Sect, we'll need these people to take action.

We can't do everything ourselves, can we?

That would be too tiring.

Lu Xuan also thought that he would let his subordinates take action whenever the opportunity arose.

He could simply stay quietly and peacefully in the villa, without having to worry too much about things outside. Such a life would naturally be the most comfortable.

Lu Xuan also longed for such a life.

But if things continue to develop at this rate, the small Xianhe Manor probably won't be able to accommodate so many people.

If that's the case, then why not just find a real mountain resort, develop a piece of land there, and live there yourself? Wouldn't that be wonderful?

However, it's hard to know where to find such a blessed place.

It's something that can only be encountered by chance.

If it were a large sect, that would seem a bit too complicated.

The two families chose to surrender.

As for the people from the Heavenly Soul Sect...

They were all killed.

"Lord Yi, these people came to my mine and robbed me, even injuring people. I don't think what I did was a violation of the dynasty's laws, do I?"

Lu Xuan approached Yi Shuhe and asked.

"That's natural. I witnessed these people's actions firsthand. Everyone here acted in self-defense."

Yi Shuhe said directly.

Although this is something that everyone tacitly agrees on, leaving behind a verbal record in front of others is a more appropriate and complete way to do so.

What if, at some point, someone brings up these old grievances?

This gives us something to talk about.

The heads of the Sun and Guo families rolled their eyes inwardly, thinking that the situation had already been brought under control long ago, yet they were still pretending.

That's truly shameless.

"That's good. We must abide by the laws of the imperial court in everything we do."

"Since both of you have surrendered, I will spare your lives for now."

Lu Xuan looked at the two family heads kneeling on the ground, as well as the row of family experts. Among these people, there were quite a few fourth-rank and third-rank experts.

However, these people are now kneeling on the ground, not daring to move at all.

The people from the Heavenly Soul Sect who came to provide support earlier included several fourth-rank experts, and these people were killed without any resistance whatsoever.

Therefore, it would be very easy for Lu Xuan and his group to kill them.

Who knew that behind this mine stood the Qingyun Martial Sect!

If they had known that the owner of this mine knew the Qingyun Martial Sect, neither of them would have gotten involved.

They hadn't considered that much beforehand.

They thought the Heavenly Soul Sect had defeated the Golden Light Sect, and that's how they found a way to covet the mine in front of them.

What I thought was a chance to make a fortune turned out to be a deadly opportunity!

Upon hearing that Lu Xuan was willing to show leniency and spare their lives, everyone was immediately moved to tears.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

"Senior, you have great insight! We were all deceived by the Heavenly Soul Sect!"

"Yes, it was all because the Heavenly Soul Sect forced us into this position. If we hadn't done it, the Heavenly Soul Sect would definitely have killed us!"

The heads of the two families seemed to have found a way to shift the blame directly onto the dead members of the Heavenly Soul Sect.

"Alright, everyone in the county should know about the reputation of your two families."

Yan Meng sneered, exposing the hypocrisy of these two people.

"Old Chu, come over here and calculate how much our mine has lost today."

"Make a list, I'll go back with them and get the compensation back."

Lu Xuan said.

The original plan was to have them return the compensation voluntarily.

But Lu Xuan suddenly remembered.

The King of Xiping had previously mentioned that he had sent people to capture the Fire Phoenix Fairy and her entourage.

That Golden Light Sect was something I had worked hard to acquire, and I haven't even had a chance to spar with this Fire Phoenix Fairy yet.

If they hadn't been rescued in time and had sacrificed themselves in vain, wouldn't that have been a waste?

Moreover, the Fire Phoenix Fairy's cultivation talent is also quite good, no weaker than Mo Yan and Yan Meng.

With a little development, breaking through to the fifth rank in the future won't be a problem.

There are very few beautiful women with high cultivation levels to begin with.

Lu Xuan is still waiting for a large number of high-quality fruits to sprout and grow.

Therefore, we should not waste the opportunity when we encounter it.

"clear!"

Chu Lingsheng nodded immediately, and when he saw Lu Xuan's eyes, he understood.

This time, we're definitely going to really screw over these two families and make them bleed a lot.

Otherwise, these people will never learn their lesson.

"Within the mining area, the medical expenses for each injured person are 5,000 taels, and there are a total of 60 injured people, totaling 300,000 taels."

"The funeral expenses are 100,000 taels each. We have four brothers who died, so the total is 400,000 taels."

"The appearance fee for each fourth-rank official is 500,000 taels of silver, and there are four of them in total, which amounts to 2 million taels of silver."

"In addition, there are road damage and cleanup in the mining area, equipment damage, lost wages, etc... totaling three million taels."

"Elder Lu, the total is five million seven hundred thousand taels!"

Five million seven hundred thousand taels.

If converted to spirit stones, that would be 5,700 spirit stones.

It may not sound like much, but for a family, it's a huge sum of money. Just to cover daily expenses, most families are already struggling to make ends meet. Suddenly having nearly six thousand spirit stones taken away is something most families simply can't afford.

The faces of the two families immediately showed expressions of horror.

Although the price was high, the two of them calculated that if they split it in half, each family would only need to pay less than three thousand spirit stones, which was not unacceptable.

"Hmm... 5.7 million doesn't sound good."

"Then let's round it up to ten million taels."

Lu Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, both heads of the family nearly jumped up from their knees.

Why are you talking nonsense here, old man?

Who rounds up like that?!

It doubled in an instant.

You're making money way too easily.

But now that their lives were in the other party's hands, the two of them had no choice but to swallow their pride.

Do you have any objections?

Lu Xuan also asked the two of them very considerately.

The two exchanged a glance, wondering if they dared to object.
