Chapter 1385: The Bai Family's Forceful Stand, Reaching a Reconciliation
"Family Head, what should we do? The Huang Family won't let us go," Bai Longyue stifled her trembling; those people were all dead, and within the Bai Family less than ten percent of combat power remained, which was still an overestimation of the Bai Family.
That ten percent of combat power refers only to Bai Longyue; the others could not possibly halt the Huang Family's attack.
On the Huang side, they had already encircled the surroundings and could breach the Bai Family at any moment; they were only about half an hour away from total ruin, so how could Bai Menglong not be worried, not afraid?
Thinking of her fate, generally in a genocide war, women like them could not have a good end—either death or becoming the spoils of those men; recalling that, Bai Menglong couldn't help trembling.
She had no will to resist at all; if Bai Longyue were not by her side, she might have already lost all resolve.
Bai Longyue lifted her slender finger, pointing ahead: "They've arrived."
Bai Menglong looked up and saw Huang Wufeng's party arriving; Huang Yan walked ahead, Huang Wufeng and Huang Wuheng followed behind, Huang Wuji was not present, and the rest of the Huang Family had already surrounded, ready to storm the Bai Family. At this stage, the Bai Family was a cornered beast still fighting.
Continuing a stubborn resistance could lead to a terrible outcome.
"Family Head of the Bai Family, Bai Longyue, surrender; you have no chance of victory," Huang Wufeng said first, urging Bai Longyue to surrender.
This war ends here; the Huang Family has won, and the Bai Family must accept the awareness of defeat.
Huang Wufeng did not dare to act immediately, because he was unsure of this person's strength; the Bai Family's Family Head, Bai Longyue, has always been a mystery—no one knows her power level or cultivation, and essentially no one has ever seen her fight.
Even within the Bai Family, no one knows her strength; they only know she is a puppet Family Head, a nominal head who cannot make decisions or control the Bai Family—her existence is merely a mascot.
Even so, Huang Wuheng and Huang Wufeng did not dare to underestimate this woman; not for other reasons, the Ghost Serpent Great Elder and the Ghost Heart Second Elder have not dismissed her for years, and she has continuously served as Family Head, something others could not achieve.
This woman does have some ability; otherwise she could not have remained steadily in that position. The other elders would not let a useless person sit there indefinitely; any Family Head of any clan cannot be simple, even a puppet is not simple.
"You, the Bai Family, initiated this war; now you have lost. Do not cling to stubborn resistance, or the Huang Family will show no mercy," Huang Wuheng stepped forward, threatening Bai Longyue.
Bai Menglong's body trembled; several members of the Bai Family rushed forward, standing behind Bai Longyue, confronting the Huang people face to face. Even though they knew the Bai suffered heavy casualties, they could not retreat; a step back would mean annihilation.
With the clan annihilated, how could they possibly survive?
"Bai Longyue, surrender; if you bow your heads, the Huang Family guarantees you will not be killed and will even be put to good use by us."
"The Huang Family guarantees we will not exterminate the Bai Family completely."
To prevent desperate actions, first pacify them, then gradually act, slowly cutting flesh.
At the same time, this sets an example for other families; the Huang Family is not exterminating them, offering a way out, which will cause other families to surrender rather than cling to stubborn resistance.
Reducing massive casualties will also restore the Huang Family's strength; this war caused heavy losses for the Huang Family, requiring reinforcements, and the remaining batch of Bai people are quite good, very good.
The main point is that Huang Wuheng cannot gauge this woman; if she were weak, she would have been annihilated long ago, not still standing.
Bai Longyue gave them a cold glance and said coldly: "The Bai Family cannot be annihilated; you have already obtained everything you can, do you still want to exterminate us?"
This is her cultivation ground; everything else she can compromise on, but this step she cannot compromise.
She must consider the Bai Family and think about its future.
The remaining seedlings of the Bai Family cannot die; they are the Bai Family's last seeds.
"Huang Wuheng, Huang Wufeng, you are being too naive."
Bai Longyue slowly released her aura, suppressing the entire scene.
The cultivation of the Seek Dao Realm fully erupted.
Huang Wuheng and Huang Wufeng fell silent, and Huang Yan also fell silent.
The three exchanged glances, all startled by Bai Longyue's cultivation; they did not expect her to be so strong—she possessed Seek Dao Realm power, not just Qiudao First Heaven, and she was even stronger than their elder brother Huang Wuji.
The Ghost Serpent Great Elder and the Ghost Heart Second Elder were no match before Bai Longyue.
This person, Qiudao Third Heaven, is the Bai Family's strongest woman.
With power exploding, Bai Menglong stared in amazement at the Family Head; the other Bai members were the same, unable to believe the scene before them.
In fact, they all thought the Family Head was not very powerful, always training, with a very low presence in the Bai Family; they considered her a puppet, lacking any authority, not handling Bai affairs, unlike the Bai elders.
But now you tell me she is the Bai Family's strongest person; at this moment, how can they endure?
"Qiudao Third Heaven, Bai Longyue, I didn't expect you to be the Bai Family's strongest," Huang Wuheng took a deep breath, also startled.
Facing Bai Longyue, they have no chance; none of the Huang forces present can suppress her. If they act, at least eighty percent of these Huang troops would die, and even if elder brother Huang Wuji came, it would likely bring no benefit.
Unless Yan Er's master intervenes, or someone from Tian Du Men acts, it could...
Thinking of this, Huang Wuheng and Huang Wufeng's hearts were unsettled; the situation exceeded their expectations.
After their exchange, they changed their minds: "Bai Longyue, we can spare the Bai Family and allow it to become a vassal of the Huang Family; your Bai Family must pay reparations for this war."
"Moreover, most of the Bai Family's resources will belong to us, the Huang Family."
Bai Longyue refused outright: "Impossible; the Bai Family's resources cannot be given entirely to you, at most thirty percent."
"Thirty percent is too little; fifty percent. If less than that, then continue fighting. No matter how powerful you, Bai Longyue, you cannot fully protect the Bai Family," Huang Wuheng stepped back, unable to retreat further.
Bai Longyue also knew clearly that she could resist Huang Wufeng and his group and heavily damage them; the people behind them were not simple.
The aura unleashed on the battlefield exceeded even Qiudao Third Heaven; her strength facing the Huang Family posed no problem.
But behind the Huang Family there are others; she cannot be an opponent.
The Bai Family's path is only this: reparations and merging into the Huang Family; however, she can strive for more benefits and more freedom.
