Chapter 99 Compensation and Calculation

Chu Tai did not agree with Taoist Fuyou's words. He played with the magic weapons in his hand and said softly, "Is that all?"

Taoist Zhao Ning glared at Chu Tai, seemingly surprised that he wanted something else.

Chu Tai had no interest in this defeated general. He glanced at Taoist Fuyou and said, "We both know what he did. For the sake of the overall situation, I can let him go this time, but I want compensation, real money, not something that was originally mine in exchange for me."

Taoist Fuyou was silent for a while, then looked at Taoist Zhaoning beside him, only to see that the other party had closed his eyes.

Fu You was so angry that he slapped the other person in the face.

"You have to admit defeat. Do you really want to die? These guys are not like us. They won't cherish old friendships."

"Or do you want me to make my words clearer?"

"If you take action at this time and succeed, we won't be able to say anything, but if you lose, we won't be able to speak for you either."

"I am willing to speak up now because of our past friendship. If you don't know what's good for you, I won't bother to care."

Taoist Fuyou looked at Taoist Zhaoning with a slightly cold gaze, and his meaning was very clear.

Zhao Ning opened her mouth and wanted to say that if they had the guts, they could kill her, but after looking at Chu Tai's expression, she didn't dare to say it out loud.

What Taoist Fuyou did not say was the inheritance of the Taiyi Jinhua lineage. The nature of Taoist Zhaoning's targeting Chu Tai was for the inheritance qualification of Jinhua Sect, or the remaining luck of Jinhua Sect.

Just for this one thing, even if Chu Tai destroyed his entire clan, no one would say anything, either from a moral or overall perspective.

From this point of view, Taoist Fuyou's wish to exchange Taoist Zhaoning for a few magic weapons is already a very obvious sign of taking sides.

Hearing this, Taoist Mu Jing, who also understood something of the secret, smiled and looked at Taoist Zhao Ning with a playful look.

"what do you want?"

Hearing this, Chu Tai didn't hesitate and directly told him some of the things he needed now.

There are also some things needed by Feifei, Wu Chaoxi and Taoist Cuihuang in the middle.

The quantity was so large and the quality was so high that Taoist Mu Jing couldn't help but look sideways, and Taoist Fu You also widened his eyes slightly.

As for Taoist Zhao Ning, he directly stated that his family could not afford so many things, and if they insisted, it would be better to kill him.

"You asked for a sky-high price, but you paid me back right away. I never thought you could give me all of it. I just compromised."

Hearing this, Taoist Fuyou's eyesight suddenly improved a lot, but Taoist Zhaoning's face looked even uglier.

But as the defeated party, Taoist Zhao Ning had no choice but to follow Chu Tai's rules.

Half a quarter of an hour later, under the witness of Taoist Fuyou and Taoist Mujing, the two sides reached a consensus.

Chu Tai, who was playing with a few thunder beads in his hands, spoke to Taoist Fuyou.

"Now that I have inherited the Demon Subduing Banner, I would like to meet with the other four banner masters. After all, the current situation is chaotic, and we should cooperate with each other."

"I will inform the other fellow Taoists of the specific gathering time, and will send it along with your compensation."

After saying this, Taoist Fuyou took Zhao Ning and another cultivator from the Duan family away.

After the two left, Taoist Mu Jing stepped forward. "The price you asked for just now was a bit high. That guy named Zhao Ning may not deliver the things as agreed."

"It's fine if you don't send it to me. I'll have a better reason to do it next time."

Chu Tai looked at the lightning bead in his hand and smiled, "I originally just wanted to know some of the sect's latest news. It was a pleasant surprise to learn from this guy the method of refining this lightning bead, the complete ritual of refining the White Scale Shuttle, the Demon Subduing Banner, and the Thousand Flow Blades."

"The Demon Subduing Banner is easy to deal with, but the White Scale Shuttle and Thousand Flowing Blades' rituals contain some of his cultivation methods. After analyzing them, it will be easier to deal with him next time."

Taoist Mu Jing heard this and shook his head, saying, "Only you can make it sound so easy to figure out other people's skills. It's difficult for ordinary people to find out other people's skills from magic weapons. Forget it, I'm done with this matter. I should go deal with other disaster demons. Maybe I can find some traces of Hanba."

"No, it's too late. Hanba must have used the previous opportunity to gather enough calamity energy. Before his Dao Fruit is achieved, we will definitely not be able to find his trace."

"If you really want to find him, you can only keep divination and calculation. We are his human calamity. I have sensed it. The more critical the moment, the more he will be unable to hide his aura and whereabouts."

Chu Tai shook his head with emotion. He had previously sensed through the altar that something was wrong with the aura of disaster in various places. He suspected that the person behind the scenes was taking this opportunity to speed up the condensation of the disaster fruit.

Now thinking back, the timing of this Taoist Zhao Ning causing trouble for him was so coincidental, it is possible that there was no Hanba behind the scenes fanning the flames.

This is also the reason why Chu Tai chose to let the other party go. The impact of a first-class family in Chu State in chaos is too great, and Hanba can easily take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters.

Compared to Taoist Zhaoning who had already been defeated by him, Hanba was the first target Chu Tai wanted to deal with.

Finally, Chu Tai did not think that this immortal from the Duan family, who had been in a high position for a long time, would be so generous as to swallow his anger after he took away his magic weapons and many resources.

Once the other party takes action, Chu Tai's subsequent revenge and massacre will have a legitimate reason. At that time, even Taoist Fuyou will have no reason to intervene, or it would be Taoist Fuyou's fault if he intervened.

Therefore, Chu Tai was the one among everyone present who most hoped that Taoist Zhao Ning would not send the things over.

"In this era, orthodoxy and reputation are still very important, especially for the Jinhua Sect. It is better to find a cover-up for exterminating the clan."

Thinking of this, Chu Tai casually washed the thunder pattern flag that the man from the Duan family had brought before and gave it to Feifei.

"You have been practicing for too short a time, and you haven't learned any killing skills yet. Lingwu Tingqinglai is OK for self-defense, but it's still a little weak for attack. This flag contains some wind and thunder methods, which is suitable for you."

After Feifei took it, she thanked Chu Tai repeatedly.

Then, Chu Tai placed the White Scale Shuttle and Thousand Flow Blade in front of Taoist Mu Jing and asked him to choose one.

"And my share?"

Taoist Mu Jing was a little surprised. Chu Tai said, "Without you, Taoist Zhao Ning would not give in easily, and I would not get so much compensation. Naturally, I should give you some compensation."

"Is that so? Then this magic weapon will do. There are piles of white stones near my dojo, which is not suitable for vegetation growth. This item is good at breaking magic prohibitions and spiritual light. With a little modification, it can also be used to break stones and soil. It is suitable for me to transform the environment."

As he said this, Taoist Mu Jing took away the White Scaled Shuttle, which was more valuable but at this moment had a dim light and was severely damaged.

Seeing this, Chu Tai handed the remaining Thousand Flow Blades to Wu Chaoxi: "Everyone who sees it gets a share. Daoist friend didn't help much before, so we can only take what we left. Do you mind?"

"I didn't help at all, how can I share the spoils?"

Wu Chaoxi decisively refused, but Chu Tai said something that Taoist Mu Jing cared about very much.
