“The elder clan leader has surrendered…”
The members of the Tianqiong Clan, hearing the elder clan leader’s surrender, stood frozen, their faces pale, as if their spirits had been drained.
“Surrender?”
“Did I, Little Master, give you a chance to surrender? You touched my brother and still think you can live? Keep attacking!”
Little Green Dragon’s roar thundered across the scene like a storm.
The goatee-bearded elder clan leader’s face turned deathly pale, his eyes wide with shock.
He never expected they wouldn’t even be given a chance to surrender, that they’d be driven to annihilation?
“It’s over… it’s over…”
Countless Tianqiong Clan members felt a deep, visceral despair.
“Yes!”
The three dragons, led by the five-clawed golden dragon, resumed their assault on the goatee-bearded elder clan leader.
“No!”
“We’re willing to release her!”
The goatee-bearded elder clan leader roared in terror, but facing the three dragons’ onslaught, he had no choice but to fight back.
On the other side.
“Haha, who’d have thought these two eternal beings would end up in such a sorry state!”
The million-strong army behind Lin Yun, seeing the Tianqiong Clan’s two eternal beings reduced to such a pitiful state, felt immensely satisfied.
Lin Yun turned and said, “Little Green Dragon, since they’re willing to surrender and release her, let’s stop. They’re eternal beings, surely part of the Heavenly God Palace. Killing them might strain your ties with the Palace.”
Killing two eternal beings would be like slapping the Heavenly God Palace in the face.
Lin Yun didn’t want Little Green Dragon to face unnecessary trouble because of him.
Moreover, if these two eternal beings were pushed to a corner with no way out, they might choose to self-destruct, which would be disastrous!
Two eternal beings self-destructing could level everything within a thousand miles, likely causing heavy casualties among Lin Yun’s million-strong army.
Lin Yun’s ultimate goal was to rescue Yu Ying.
As long as that was achieved, it was enough. Lin Yun didn’t want excessive losses among his followers.
At this point, under the combined assault of the three dragons, the goatee-bearded elder clan leader was being beaten back, spitting blood and reeling.
“Fine, I’ll listen to you.”
“All of you, come back!”
Little Green Dragon issued the command.
The three dragons immediately ceased their pursuit and returned to Little Green Dragon to report.
“Since you’ve surrendered, why aren’t you two crawling over here?”
Little Green Dragon bellowed at the two Tianqiong Clan leaders, his unmatched aura and dragon might pressing down like a mountain!
Though deeply unwilling, the Tianqiong Clan leader and the goatee-bearded elder clan leader, nursing their injuries, flew to face Little Green Dragon and Lin Yun.
Lin Yun looked at them: “Clan leaders, who’d have thought you’d be the ones defeated in the end.”
The two flinched, their faces growing uglier.
“How… how do you have ties with the dragon clan!”
The ashen-faced Tianqiong Clan leader stared at Lin Yun, still finding it unbelievable.
A mere ninth-stage tribulation realm cultivator could call a high-ranking dragon clan figure his brother and have him fight so fiercely for him!
It was too outrageous!
The dragon clan was notoriously proud, especially its high-status members, who saw themselves as far superior to humans and disdained associating with even figures like the Fire Cloud Emperor or Tianqian Emperor.
“No need for you to worry about that. The victor stands, the loser falls. All you need to know is that you’ve lost!” Lin Yun said, eyeing them.
Little Green Dragon glared at them and roared, “If my brother hadn’t told me to stop, you two would be dead today. Hurry up and apologise to my brother! Thank him for sparing your lives!”
“This…”
The two eternal clan leaders’ eyes twitched, their faces darkening further. As eternal beings, they saw those below them, including Lin Yun, as mere ants.
For them, eternal beings, to apologise to Lin Yun was utterly humiliating, especially in front of so many people.
Didn’t eternal beings have any dignity?
“What? Unwilling? Don’t be ungrateful. If you refuse, we’ll keep fighting! Uncle Gold, attack!” Little Green Dragon’s voice boomed as he issued the command without hesitation.
“No, no, no!”
The two eternal clan leaders frantically waved their hands, their faces green with fear.
Another fight would truly be their end!
Seeing them cower, Little Green Dragon snorted coldly: “Hmph, given face but don’t want it! Speak nicely, and you still don’t know what’s good for you. You’re just asking for it. With people like you, force is the only way—reason is nonsense!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The two eternal clan leaders could only force awkward smiles, their faces as sour as if they’d eaten filth.
The victor stands, the loser falls—they had no choice but to bow.
Then, they apologised to Lin Yun.
“Young Hero Lin, we apologise… we were blind to your greatness.”
Lin Yun said indifferently, “Since things have come to this, a mere apology probably isn’t enough, is it?”
“This…”
The two clan leaders tensed, unsure of Lin Yun’s meaning. Did he want to keep fighting?
“If you’d handed her over from the start, it wouldn’t have come to this. Now, to settle this, besides releasing her, compensation is non-negotiable. My price: 500,000 tribulation pills and 2 billion spirit crystals!” Lin Yun said coldly.
Lin Yun was securing these resources for the million-strong army behind him. They’d fought for him in this battle, and he couldn’t let them down.
“This… isn’t that too much?” The Tianqiong Clan leader’s eyes twitched. It wasn’t a small sum!
“Too much my foot! It’s too little! Make it 800,000 tribulation pills and 3 billion spirit crystals!” Little Green Dragon’s voice rang out, brimming with unquestionable authority.
“This… this…” The Tianqiong Clan leader and goatee-bearded elder clan leader were on the verge of tears. How did the price jump like that!
“Don’t haggle with me. If you don’t agree, we’ll keep fighting—until you do!” Little Green Dragon declared arrogantly.
“No, no, no!” The Tianqiong Clan leader hurriedly waved his hands.
The Tianqiong Clan leader and goatee-bearded elder clan leader felt like dying.
They had no choice—they couldn’t win, so they had to submit!
“I told you, you’re just asking for it. Can’t communicate properly, so force it is,” Little Green Dragon said.
“Hand over Yu Ying first!” Lin Yun demanded.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“Fourth Elder, quickly bring her here,” the Tianqiong Clan leader ordered.
“Remember, if my brother’s woman has even the slightest injury, you’re finished!” Little Green Dragon warned.
