Chapter 368.1
A Cornered Beast Still Bites (1)
Gong Shenglong’s smile suddenly froze on his face.
Logically, Tang Fei’s request was very reasonable.
But the problem is, isn’t the reason why they met in such an alliance and promoted Chu Qing as the leader of the alliance to reduce their losses? They all know that offering compensation is inevitable, but if they can pay a little less, who would be willing to pay more?
Their original plan was to win over these aristocratic families to gain bargaining chips to be able to sit down and negotiate with the Tiangang Sword Sect and Ziqing Sacred Land.
Since the Tiangang Sword Sect will not eradicate the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect, naturally it will not destroy so many families.
After all, as the dignified leader of the righteous way of Beizhou, the destruction of so many families will inevitably cast a shadow on their reputation.
Therefore, these families are not so much helpers as they are hostages.
Of course, most of these aristocratic families are also very clear about their own positions. Yet they have no choice, because they too don’t want to pay too much.
