Chapter 311: Post‑Event Negotiations

When that sentence was asked, Lin Chuan understood instantly.

Xia Zi is giving him a chance to extort!

He also knows they can't really take on super powers like the Azure Abyss and Golden Spirit Mountain, but cutting off a few pieces of flesh does no real harm.

"Senior Sword Immortal!"

Lin Chuan immediately put on an aggrieved and indignant expression and ran to Xia Zi's side.

No need for many words; Xia Zi understood at once.

"Lin Chuan, your Closest Kin owes me a favor; what grievance do you have? Speak plainly— with me here, I will surely uphold justice for you."

Xia Zi's calm, composed voice rang in the ears of every Wangxian Realm great being present.

It made the great beings all turn pale.

Is Xia Zi, the Sword Immortal, determined to help Lin Chuan?

Even at the cost of offending numerous super powers?

"Senior Sword Immortal, my body is not seriously harmed, but my Sea of Knowledge has been damaged, likely forced by the great beings' spiritual pressure."

"If I could obtain some soul‑nourishing treasures, that would be fine."

"Also, several of my Dao Companions were frightened; because they worried excessively about my safety, they have been unable to eat enough or sleep well lately, and their cultivation efficiency has dropped sharply."

"I hope the various forces can compensate my Dao Companions with some cultivation resources."

"As long as they can cultivate up to the Wangxian Realm, that would be enough."

The final sentence was undoubtedly a thunderclap on a calm day.

The great beings: "???"

Just cultivate to... Wangxian Realm?

Sword Immortal, take a look— is this even human language?

"I happen to have five Dao Companions, and the compensation would be jointly shouldered by Golden Spirit Mountain, the Azure Abyss, Wu Clan, Frostwind Pavilion, and the Lone Lantern Sword Sect."

"By this calculation, the pressure on them isn't too great."

After speaking, Lin Chuan wore a somewhat puzzled expression,

"Super powers giving up this little cultivation resource should be neither painful nor itchy, right?"

Although Ye Xue was not present, Lin Chuan did not forget to request a share for his wife.

The faces of the many great beings turned completely dark.

Especially the five factions mentioned, they felt an impulse to rush over and kill Lin Chuan.

Neither painful nor itchy?

Is it reasonable for any faction to cut flesh and bleed to nurture a Wangxian Realm talent?!

"Impossible!"

Nan Gong Ya of the Azure Abyss replied coldly, "Lin Chuan, don't act recklessly just because you have the Sword Immortal behind you."

"You haven't suffered any injury at all, and we never truly harmed your Dao Companions; we cannot compensate as you propose."

"Lord of the Heart Palace, your words are mistaken," Lin Chuan said mournfully, "Spiritual injuries are the hardest to heal; a damaged Dao Heart will accompany one for life."

"What I want is not much."

"Senior Sword Immortal, please judge— do my Dao Companions all have the aptitude to cultivate up to the Wangxian Realm?"

Lin Chuan spoke with righteous solemnity.

"That is indeed correct."

Xia Zi, the Sword Immortal, nodded.

He knew nothing else, but the fox woman from Tushan and Title: Witch Sangyu are reincarnations of Immortals.

Wangxian aptitude?

That's already belittling those two.

As for Yun Zhi Yi, on the Dao of Fortune and Qi Transport she also has astonishing talent; perhaps she too is a reincarnation of a peerless great being.

He cannot see through that little girl in the green dress.

Too profound.

Her cultivation is surprisingly weak, her talent seems average, yet she can stand shoulder to shoulder with several other peerless women,

there must be a deep underlying reason.

He just cannot see it.

And perhaps the green‑dressed girl is also a being comparable to those few.

With these thoughts in his mind, when Xia Zi, the Sword Immortal, responded, he was naturally very confident.

Nan Gong Xin, the Great Sun Buddha, the Wu Clan Clan Chief, the Frostwind Pavilion Master, and the Lone Lantern Sword Sect Headmaster Wang Chonghuan's expressions all darkened.

Is Wangxian aptitude that easy to appear?

Has it all gone to Lin Chuan's family?

Is Xia Zi, the Sword Immortal, truly speaking nonsense with his eyes closed?

"Sword Immortal, Lin Chuan's words are too absurd; we cannot accept them."

Wu Clan Clan Chief Zhu Yan spoke, his voice booming like thunder, releasing his displeasure.

"We were at fault initially, but we have not caused irreparable loss; the misunderstanding is cleared, and both sides should each make a concession."

Frostwind Pavilion Master Fang Li also began to argue reason.

"Our five factions, working together, will provide the resources to nurture a Wangxian Realm talent; this is our greatest sincerity."

The Great Sun Buddha made his stance clear.

Xia Zi, the Sword Immortal, ignored them and laughed, "I am here only to uphold justice for Lin Chuan; how the matter is resolved, he decides."

Lin Chuan, what do you think of the plan the Daoist Friends have proposed?

"That's such a small amount, it's hard to handle," Lin Chuan frowned. "Five Dao Companions sharing a family's resources—doesn't that deliberately disrupt my family's harmony? Unacceptable."

Inside the Purple Star Emperor Sect.

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao, Mo Sangyu, Yun Zhi Yi and Lü Ya gathered together, laughing so broadly they couldn't close their mouths.

"So the husband also has such a scheming side!"

"Who let those super powers be greedy enough to bite off more than they can chew? They deserve what comes to them."

"If we could truly obtain that many cultivation resources, our cultivation speed would increase considerably; the faster we return to the peak, the more confident we are in handling the upcoming crisis."

As Lin Chuan's Dao Companion, the women naturally chose to wholeheartedly support their own husband.

The other side.

Nan Gong Xin, Great Sun Buddha and the other five Sect Heads of the super powers have reached the brink of patience, exuding intense murderous intent.

"Lin Chuan, are you really going to keep pressuring us?"

"Let me tell you, we cannot meet your demands; if you insist on fighting, then come at us!"

"Strike him with a heaven‑shattering, earth‑cracking blow!"

"Xia Zi Sword Immortal! We acknowledge your strength, but you alone cannot destroy our five great super powers!"

"You cannot even bear the karma of a great war."

"Sword Immortal! Have you thought it through—are you really willing to cause a world‑shaking upheaval for a mere Lin Chuan?"

The five Wang Immortals simultaneously released their imposing pressure, shaking heaven and earth.

Xia Zi Sword Immortal stood unmoving, smiling faintly: "I said I would not take part in your negotiations with Lin Chuan."

"My demand is simple: let Lin Chuan obtain a satisfactory outcome."

"After all, you have bullied him; you cannot let him suffer grievance in vain."

"If a satisfactory result cannot be achieved, then…"

"Then fight!"

Buzz!

Xia Zi Sword Immortal's Sword Box behind him opened, unleashing an unmatched Sword Intent that pressed toward the five Wang Immortal powers.

A real fight?

The five Sect Heads of the super powers were stunned.

Is Xia Zi Sword Immortal truly willing to go this far for Lin Chuan?

Who holds greater value in this world, which outcome is better—does Xia Zi Sword Immortal really not see it?

Eyes blinded, does the heart become blind as well?

Lin Chuan, when you return to the Purple Star Emperor Sect, do not go out.

Xia Zi Sword Immortal stepped forward, "Leave the rest to me."

He smiled, "Daoist Friends, I am alone, without sect or school; battle, to me, is merely a part of cultivation."

"Having Daoist Friends accompany me in sword practice is a good thing."

"Xia Zi has no possessions, knows not worldly affairs; allow me, with the swordsmanship I've learned all my life, to express my gratitude to you all."
