It had to be known that a pill refiner was far more difficult to nurture than a pure martial warrior of the same cultivation level. Even though Murong Yan and the rest had great talent in pill refining, cultivating them to their current strength had cost the Mu Rong family a great deal of money and various spirit medicines.

The Mu Rong family could not accept the fact that their children were all killed.

However, sixty-two million gold coins …

This could no longer be described with the word "many." This was simply an astronomical figure!

The Mu Rong family was not a big deal, such a number was obviously not normal. Even if the Mu Rong family thought highly of the disciples in the Mu Rong family, they would definitely not accept Feng Zhi's bid!

However, if he really did not agree, then in the next moment, all of the elite disciples of the Mu Rong family would be cut down like leeks by his Feng Family people.

As the person with the highest status in the Mu Rong family, Murong Yu immediately fell into a dilemma.

Yet, this kind of hot potato was actually caught by him. Murong Yu felt his head spasming in pain.

He could not help but turn his head and glare at Murong Yan.

From Feng Zhi's words, it was not hard to deduce that the reason why she ruthlessly tricked the Mu Rong family was because of Murong Yan's inappropriate behavior. Furthermore, within the Dragon Pass, the person who offered such a sky-high price for saving her life was also Murong Yan.

If it wasn't for the fact that Murong Yan was Family Head's most beloved granddaughter, Murong Yu would definitely have slapped him.

Murong Yan clearly understood why Murong Yu was staring at her, but, until now, although she was a little regretful, she still did not feel that she was at fault. Furthermore, before she agreed to Feng Zhi's sky-high price of sixty-two million, she had thought about it carefully.

As long as he could solve the problem at hand, and return to the Mu Rong family after leaving the Southern Ice Field, even if the Mu Rong family went back on their word and didn't keep their promise, what could Feng Zhi or her Feng Family do?

Murong Yan thought like this as she tried to convince Murong Yu.

After all, as long as Murong Yu said the word "no," what Feng Zhi wanted was the lives of his juniors!

Gently pulling on Murong Yu's sleeves, Murong Yan used Murong Yu's body to hide herself. After that, she sent a mental message to Murong Yu and told him about her plans.

It was obvious that they were so close to each other yet chose to send a sound transmission. This was of course because Murong Yan did not want to, nor did she dare to allow others to hear their conversation, especially Feng Zhi.

Not keeping your promise.

To someone as strong as Murong Yu, who was at the level of Martial Saint, this was a slap in the face.

For example, Lu Wuxiu, even if he suffered such a huge loss this time, he would only be able to say a few words about compensation. However, no one would think that he would go back on his words.

Murong Yu was a person of the same level as Lu Wuxiu. The reason why he was in such a difficult situation was because it was impossible for him to take out sixty-two million gold coins to give Feng Zhi, and it was also impossible for him to give up the lives of the younger generations of the Mu Rong family.

But even so, before Murong Yan had sent a sound transmission, he had never thought of feigning that she would need to pay a sky-high price to save her life, and after that, she would turn hostile and refuse to admit it.

For an expert, going back on his word was a huge blow to his reputation.

There were hundreds of people watching, and all of them were from the top ten families. If he really did that, then not only himself, but the entire Mu Rong family's reputation would be affected too.

However …

"Grand Elder, if that's not the case, could it be that you have some other method that would allow us to achieve our full potential?" Murong Yan deeply resented Murong Yu's pedanship, and even felt that Murong Yu did not care about her and the other disciples' lives. Thus, she could not help but sound transmit with a dissatisfied tone, "Or perhaps, the Great Clan Elder thinks that Feng Zhi will suddenly show mercy and take the initiative to lower this large number? You have also looked at it for a long time, you should be able to understand how dark Feng Zhi's heart is now, do you think that is possible? "

Thinking about the things that she had experienced in the Dragon Pass, if she could, Murong Yan simply wanted to bite off a few pieces of flesh from Feng Zhi's body.

In the past two months, only she and Si Nan had been "taken care of" by Feng Zhi in an even more comprehensive manner!

Hearing Murong Yan's words, Murong Yu could only remain silent.

Previously, when he thought that it was none of his business, he had thought that Lu Wuxiu was probably going to die from being tormented by such a silly little girl. However, when the matter really fell on his head, he realized why Lu Wuxiu was treated so badly.

Even he himself couldn't do anything against Feng Zhi's forcefulness.

He looked at the surrounding disciples of Feng Family who were eyeing him covetously, and also Feng Liancheng, Feng Liancheng, and the others who could charge up and besiege him at any time with just a single word from Feng Zhi, as well as the faint expectant gazes of the other families, and in the end, Murong Yu's heart was only filled with bitterness.

Could it be that it really could only be like what Murong Yan had said?

On one side was himself, and on the other was the damage done to the Mu Rong family's reputation in the future. On the other was the 20 outstanding disciples of the Mu Rong family, all of whom were destined to become famous alchemists in the future.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

His eyes looked helpless, but it was quickly filled with determination. Murong Yu took a deep breath and turned to look at Feng Zhi, "62 million gold coins, I am Murong Yu, I admit it on behalf of the entire Murong Family!"

After hearing these words, regardless of whether it was the Feng Family people or the members of the other families, all of them couldn't help but look somewhat disappointed.

The Feng Family disciples were disappointed because they could not fight with the Mu Rong family anymore.

As for the rest of the families, they would be disappointed because Murong Yu had decided to admit defeat in the end, which meant that not only would the children of the Mu Rong family be saved, but once the Mu Rong family handed over the huge sum of money to the Feng Family, the power of the Feng Family would naturally increase by a large amount. Furthermore, Feng Zhi had scammed them from other families before, and through the competition of Feng Family, he would soon get a secret location from every family …

If they continued like this, in less than two years, the strength of their Feng Family would most likely be far superior to the rest of their families!

How could they not be disappointed?

With this kind of mood, everyone couldn't help but look at Feng Zhi, who seemed to reveal a regretful expression.

The Lu Family had suffered heavy losses. The final conclusion of the Dragon Pass competition was, the gold coins that the other families would have to pay with their hands cupped …

All of this was because the Feng Family had an illogical girl like Feng Zhi.

At this moment, all the managers of the other clans, including Lu Wuxiu and Murong Yu, were full of envy for the Feng Family.
