At this moment, the various factions in the Star Capital.
The royal family of Star Empire, or Meng Liuchen, who controlled the Star Gathering Formation and had eight Martial Saints, was defeated as the Star Gathering Formation was broken. The foundation of the empire was shaken.
After losing his final trump card, he was no longer a threat.
On the surface, the most powerful foreign tribe, the half-step Martial Emperor foreign tribe Khan, had been killed by Ling Chen. All 26 Heavenly Wolves had been killed, and it could be said that they had suffered heavy losses.
The Taiyi Daoist Sect, which had sent a total of 17 Martial Saints, was completely annihilated! Their losses were second only to the non-humankind.
Of the twelve Martial Saints from the Firmament Empire, three of them were killed by the Star Gathering Formation. Under the leadership of Left Prime Minister Jiang Yan, the others obediently followed Ling Chen's instructions and did not suffer any losses.
As for Shadow Sect who was hiding in the dark, they relied on their strange movement techniques and hiding skills to have the least casualties in this chaotic battle.
However, their leader, the half-step Martial Emperor Luo Mei, had been captured by Ling Chen, and had been trained to become a bed-warming maid. In that case, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they had suffered the greatest losses.
The other factions had also suffered losses, but as long as they followed Ling Chen's orders, their losses were limited. They had only suffered losses when attacking the Star Gathering Formation.
At this moment, all of the Star Capital's Martial Saints were present, and under Ling Chen's threat, they all obediently stood below the high platform and accepted his inspection. They were all more obedient than rabbits, afraid of angering this killing god.
"A wise man understands the times." Ling Chen stood on the stage and looked at the people below, smiling as he said,"Everyone is a hero! I'm a very easy-going person and usually don't kill elites.”
The dozens of Martial Saints below rolled their eyes when they heard that."The great devil who attacked the Martial Saint without saying a word, and he still says that he's easy to talk to? Where is your face?"
However, they did not dare to say this out loud, and could only go against their conscience and praise Ling Chen's kindness.
Ling Chen nodded his head in satisfaction and continued,"I will protect the Star Empire from now on. Who agrees? Who's against it?"
"Young Master, you are a man of noble character and integrity, and you are willing to disregard past grudges to protect the Star Empire. I, Chen Longxiao, will be the first to agree on behalf of the Dawnbreak God Sect.”
The first elder of the top faction, Dawnbreak God Sect, who reacted the fastest, was the first to jump out and shout.
The other Martial Saints also seemed to have woken up from a dream and replied,""We also agree."
At the same time, he could not help but despise the first elder of the Dawnbreak God Sect who jumped out as a bootlicker.
However, although the various major powers agreed verbally, they actually had their own plans in their hearts.
Ling Chen had relied on formations to reach the Martial Emperor Realm, but formations had their limitations. Even though it was shocking that Ling Chen had been able to set up such a heaven-defying formation so quickly, it was still a pity that he was unable to reach the Martial Emperor Realm.
However, it was impossible for him to set up an array in advance on every battlefield and wait for the enemy to fall into his trap.
As such, when Ling Chen announced that he would protect the Star Empire, the various Martial Saints agreed very quickly. However, since they were like fish on a chopping board, they had no choice but to agree.
After leaving the Star Capital, everyone would still divide their profits as they should. At most, they would not have any thoughts of attacking the Star Capital with Ling Chen.
The destruction of the Starry Empire was already destined, and Ling Chen, who relied on the formation, could not change the situation.
Ling Chen looked at the various Martial Saints below, who could not understand what they were thinking.
However, he did not expose her and continued to smile."That's good. Regarding the question of whether you will stay or leave, I've considered and decided to keep you people in Star Capital as guests for the time being. At the same time, I'll spread the news and ask the faction behind you to redeem you.”
As soon as he said this, the Martial Saints 'faces changed drastically. An old man from an unknown force suddenly stood up and said seriously,""Young Master, you might not know this, but I am a rogue cultivator. Behind me…"
Chi!
The sword light was like a swimming dragon. The old man's corpse was instantly dislocated and then turned into ashes.
"Who agrees?" Ling Chen's smile did not change. Who's against it?"
"I agree!" The first elder of Dawnbreak God Sect was the first to step forward. He said righteously,"We offended Young Master and committed a heinous crime. Young Master is kind and doesn't care about us. Instead, he gave us a way out. Today, if anyone dares to object, I will be the first to kill him!”
Hearing this, the other Martial Saints looked at him with disdain, but they didn't dare to refute him. They could only suck up to him and agree. No one dared to object.
The Martial Saints from their own forces beside the First Elder of Dawnbreak God Sect felt their faces burning up. They subconsciously moved to the side and pretended not to know this fellow.
Only the Great Elder, Chen Longxiao, stood at the front with an awe-inspiring righteousness.
However, this guy was quite good at doing whatever he wanted, and he ignored the looks of disdain in the eyes of the other experts. He respectfully said to Ling Chen,"Young Master's words are reasonable, and there is no reason for anyone here to object. If there is anything else, Young Master can ask, and we will naturally not refuse.”
"Good!" Ling Chen clapped his hands and praised,"Elder Chen of the Dawnbreak God Sect, right? I like heroes like you! Since you are so sincere in asking me to make other requests, I won't refuse!
I heard that most of the top forces have deep foundations, but I'm not a robber, so I naturally can't take advantage of it. How about this, I'll give everyone here a price. You can also send the news to your respective sects and let them prepare things to redeem you.”
" Aren't you a bandit?!" Therefore, even the Martial Saints roared in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it on the surface. They even pretended to listen attentively.
"We are all Martial Saints with extraordinary statuses. Naturally, we have to set a price that suits your statuses. I thought hard and finally decided.
Each of you here is worth three million spirit stones and ten ten-thousand-year-old precious medicines. This price is absolutely fair to both the old and the young. Moreover, it is definitely worthy of your status. It will not let the pearls of the Martial Saint experts be stained with dust and lose their value for nothing. "If you don't have any objections, let's go with this price. When the people from your sect come with the spirit stones, we'll pay and deliver the goods. What do you think?”Ling Chen said with a smile.
Spirit stones were useless to him. After all, he relied on the system to increase his cultivation and did not have to cultivate himself.
However, this was useful for Ke and Qiuqiu. They could absorb spirit stones to strengthen themselves and grow quickly. When they got the ransom, the huge amount of spirit stones would be enough for them to squander for a while.
"Young Master is impartial and selfless. He has been thinking for us in every way. He has worked hard to set such a suitable price. If anyone dares to object, it will be really inappropriate. I, Chen Longxiao, will send the news back to the sect now!”The First Elder of Dawnbreak God Sect hurriedly said.
Hearing Ling Chen's exorbitant price, the other experts felt their hearts bleed. However, they still agreed without hesitation and sent this news back to their Sects.
They were not worried that the sect would think that it was expensive and not come to save them. After all, although the price was high, it would cost much more to nurture a Martial Saint. Moreover, it was not necessarily possible to become a Martial Saint after spending resources.
After weighing the pros and cons, even if the sect was heartbroken, they could only come and save him.
