Chapter 381: Green Fox Dao Soldiers

"This…" The Head of the Jin Family instantly turned pale and said in fear, "The Fang Family is known to be stubborn. Once they set their mind on something, they won’t change. Could it be that he really plans to destroy us?"

"He has the ability and the rightful reason to do so. The only thing holding him back are the Green Fox Demons. If he destroys you, not a single Green Fox Demon that wanders outside will be able to return!" Mo Qianxun said with a bitter smile. "So, for the sake of those loyal servants, he wouldn’t rush to war with you, which can be seen as him being cautious. However, if he discovers that you lack sincerity and cannot retrieve many Green Fox Demons, then he really will take action, and I can’t stop him!"

"But how can we take back goods that have already been sold? Especially those who have been trained to be personal maids or even concubines. Wouldn’t that be humiliating?" The Head of the Jin Family grimaced. "Those who can afford Green Fox Demons are either rich or noble and have strong backing. They might not fear me at all!"

"Then do your best!" Mo Qianxun replied. "At the very least, ensure a certain number. Whatever the giant’s needs are, I will discuss it with Fang Lie, but only if he agrees will it have a chance!"

"Alright, alright…" The Head of the Jin Family nodded. "I will give it my all!"

"And prepare to shed blood!" Mo Qianxun said sternly. "You were at fault first this time, and you caused Fang Lie an immense loss. You must compensate him double!"

"Isn’t it just some demons? Why such an exaggeration?" The Head of the Jin Family said impatiently.

"These are not ordinary demons; they are actually the Dao Soldier Seeds left to Fang Lie by his mother!" Mo Qianxun said bitterly. "A tribe of one hundred thousand Green Fox Demons can provide Fang Lie with a qualified Dao soldier and can continuously produce more. But now, his army of Dao soldiers has reduced by at least half, which is a considerable loss!"

The so-called Dao soldiers refer to the soldiers from the Four Great Outer Paths: insects, beasts, banners, and soldiers. They are intelligent demons, trained like an army to form a strong squad that knows how to work together. In simple terms, Dao soldiers are the army formed by practitioners!

Dao soldiers are often of the same type of demon, practicing the same Dao magic, using the same treasures, and living together all the time, thus becoming very familiar and harmonious with each other.

Moreover, Dao soldiers cannot be found just anywhere; they must share a deep connection with their master to unleash their maximum power and assist in battles.

The Green Fox Demon clan is loyal to the Fang Family and will serve Fang Lie wholeheartedly. With their exceptional intelligence and rapid training, they are simply the best choice for Fang Lie’s Dao soldiers.

Once successfully refined, Fang Lie’s strength will multiply.

"Ah, so it’s the Dao Soldier Seeds?" The Head of the Jin Family was shocked by this news and then said in surprise, "Who is Fang Lie’s mother? How does she have such great influence?"

"Her identity is extremely mysterious, and I am not very clear about it, but one thing I know for sure!" Mo Qianxun said. "Her spiritual roots are not inferior to Lanyun’s from my family, and her status seems quite high. She later left Fang Lie’s father for some reason and vanished without a trace. I asked Fang Gang, and he seemed to say that she would never return. But even so, we cannot underestimate Fang Lie."

"Sigh, it’s too late to regret now!" The Head of the Jin Family said helplessly. "What does the Sect Leader think should be given to him?"

"At least an Eighth-rank Treasure, and it must be something he can use!" Mo Qianxun replied. "You need to go back and prepare!"

"Eighth-rank treasure? My Jin Family doesn’t have many of those!" The Head of the Jin Family immediately panicked and said, "How about Seventh-rank? I can provide three pieces, no, five pieces!"

"Don’t dream!" Mo Qianxun said impatiently. "Given Fang Lie’s current status, an Eighth-rank Treasure is just barely worth looking at. He already possesses treasures like the Eighteen Arhats, Three Light Divine Swords, White Dragon Divine Sword, and Great Earth General, all of which are Eighth-rank treasures. This doesn’t even count the Ancient Heroic Soul; as long as he gathers enough blood essence, it can turn into a Ninth-Rank Puppet with astonishing combat power! For such a wealthy person, do you think you can send him off with Seventh-rank treasures? I see you value money over your life!"

"Damn, that kid is really rich now!" The Head of the Jin Family complained helplessly.

"Having money doesn’t help!" Mo Qianxun continued. "Besides this, you also need to provide a significant scapegoat for Fang Lie to vent his anger on!"

The Head of the Jin Family scratched his head and said, "He has already killed a Fire Tribulation Immortal, who was responsible for Ten Thousand Flower Valley!"

"That’s enough," Mo Qianxun said sternly. "The affairs of Ten Thousand Flower Valley are all masterminded by him; it has nothing to do with you or the Jin Family. Do you remember?"

"I remember, I remember!" The Head of the Jin Family said hurriedly. "Is there anything else?"

"Additionally, you might need to return another property of his, Tiequan Town!" Mo Qianxun said helplessly.

"Haha, that’s not my business; Tiequan Town is managed by the Bai Family!" The Head of the Jin Family immediately smiled.

"But this matter was caused by you. You need to go ask the Bai Family!" Mo Qianxun said sternly.

"Ah? The Old Bai Family is quite stingy; would they agree so easily?" The Head of the Jin Family said helplessly.

"They must agree, or you have to settle this matter; only then can I talk to Fang Lie!" Mo Qianxun said sternly.

"Alright, alright, I understand!" The Head of the Jin Family said helplessly. "In that case, I’ll go back and prepare!"

After saying this, the Head of the Jin Family left in a gloomy mood.

After sending him away, Mo Qianxun bowed his head and thought for a moment, then put on a calm expression and gently pointed at the void.

In the next moment, a water screen appeared out of nowhere, displaying the image of Fang Lie.

At the same time, Fang Lie was feeling angry when suddenly, a wave of movement came from the Sumeru Bag. A water screen appeared in front of him, revealing Mo Qianxun.

Fang Lie was taken aback for a moment before angrily saying, "Did you tamper with the gift you gave me?"

"No, no!" Mo Qianxun replied with a smile, "I just can sense it, so I was able to contact you!"

"Is that so?" Fang Lie replied skeptically, "What do you want from me?"

"What else? I’m here to plead for the Jin Family!" Mo Qianxun sighed, "The Jin Family has been very unreasonable this time, and I am ashamed to face you!"

"Since you are ashamed to see me, why are you here?" Fang Lie said irately.

"Alas~" Mo Qianxun sighed helplessly, "I can’t just watch the Mo Sect and the Five Great Family Clans turn into four, right? The Jin Family may be greatly wrong, but it doesn’t have to come to their destruction!"

"Hmph!" Fang Lie snorted coldly, "So you mean, the Green Fox Clan deserves to be exterminated?"

"No, no, no!" Mo Qianxun hurriedly clarified, "What I mean is, the dead are gone. Even if you wipe out the Jin Family, they won’t come back. However, if you are willing to spare them, they will do everything they can to help you find those Green Fox Demons!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Lie frowned tightly, "They said the same thing before, but in the end, they only returned the Green Fox Demons inside the Mo Sect. The ones sold to other places are nowhere to be found!"

"Well, you can’t really blame them. The buyers of these Green Fox Demons are either wealthy or powerful, with many backing them. Barging in to redeem those fox demons that have become maids or concubines is just like slapping their faces!" Mo Qianxun said with a bitter smile, "So this matter needs to be handled with great caution. You need to give them time and also guarantee that you won’t pursue the matter with Ten Thousand Flower Valley!"

"What? After what happened to my family’s Ten Thousand Flower Valley, you still ask me not to pursue it?" Fang Lie immediately erupted in anger, "Are you joking?"

"It’s not that you shouldn’t pursue it; you have already taken revenge!" Mo Qianxun quickly explained, "The Fire Tribulation Immortal from the Jin Family that you killed is the mastermind behind this tragedy in this place. The others are merely accomplices, and some of them don’t even know anything. The main culprit is dead, and you’ve also taken the lives of five hundred Jin Family descendants. I think this is already revenge. You can’t just wipe out everyone in the Jin Family, can you?"

"This…" Fang Lie hesitated upon hearing this. Killing so many from the Jin Family, especially the death of a Fire Tribulation Immortal, certainly dealt a significant blow to them, and he had certainly vented a lot of frustration.

If he could rescue some Green Fox Demons as well, then sparing the lives of the other Jin Family members wouldn’t be out of the question.

Thinking of this, Fang Lie coldly responded, "I can’t suffer any losses! What has happened to Ten Thousand Flower Valley?"

"I understand, I understand!" Mo Qianxun immediately realized he had a chance and quickly said, "I will have them return everything taken from Ten Thousand Flower Valley!"

"And what else?" Fang Lie narrowed his eyes.

"I’ll also compensate you with an Eighth-rank Treasure!" Mo Qianxun then said solemnly, "Don’t be too greedy; this has already hurt them significantly!"

"Hmph!" Fang Lie scoffed, "I want another property of mine, Tiequan Town!"

"Hehe, I knew you’d want that!" Mo Qianxun chuckled, "Consider it done; I’ve already arranged it!"

"Now that sounds good!" Fang Lie said, "Now, let’s discuss the specific numbers for redeeming the Green Fox Demons. I won’t make it hard for him; if he sold eighty thousand, I want half back! If I don’t get four thousand Green Fox Demons, I will fight him!"

"Don’t be ridiculous!" Mo Qianxun suddenly became anxious and said, "Many of the fox demons were sold years ago; where are we supposed to find them now? Moreover, there are so many avenues for selling them that even the recent ones have many whose buyers are untraceable. I think, at best, I can get back ten thousand for you, and that would be great!"

"Ten thousand? Are you mocking me?" Fang Lie yelled, "At least thirty thousand, it can’t be any less!"

The two immediately launched into a battle of words, and in the end, they settled on a number of twenty-three thousand, with a deadline of one year.

This means that within a year, the Jin Family must redeem twenty-three thousand Green Fox Demons to settle the matter. Before then, the cultivators captured in Ten Thousand Flower Valley would be held as hostages.

After concluding their discussion, Mo Qianxun, looking somewhat exhausted, said, "Negotiating with you isn’t easy! I dislike being so straightforward!"

"Cut the nonsense!" Fang Lie sneered, "I want Tiequan Town now!"

"Come back, and we’ll handle the paperwork right away!" Mo Qianxun replied.

"Alright!" Fang Lie nodded and then stopped paying attention to Mo Qianxun, turning to arrange the matter of keeping watch.
