The atmosphere at the scene seemed to freeze in place.
The Su Clan and the Alliance of Small Races were on high alert, while the Hall People initially felt joy, followed by despair.
Kun Zuo’s eyes were blazing with fury.
What he wanted to do most right now wasn’t to recover and heal his injuries but to kill—kill many, many people.
Just now, within the energy barrier, the mist was oppressive, and the hundreds of thousands of warriors inside were in grave danger. If it hadn’t been for Huo Zhi being unable to hold on any longer, leading to the failure of the formation, then right now, perhaps hundreds of thousands of Hall People, including Kun Zuo himself, would be dead!
In the end, although Huo Zhi didn’t last until the very end, she still caused the deaths of over two hundred thousand Hall People!
Even Kun Zuo himself was severely injured and in a terrible state.
When he saw the Su Clan's army outside, his first reaction was to kill these people—wipe them out completely, making them accompany his fallen kin in death.
However, the expressions of many people on the opposite side calmed him down.
The warriors of the Hall People were in a very poor condition. Although they had survived that terrifying formation, it was uncertain how much fighting strength they could retain.
On the other hand, it was evident that the Su Clan had come prepared and showed no signs of injury.
Furthermore, Kun Zuo's own combat power could only be retained at twenty percent, which clearly wasn’t enough to maintain his deterrent power at a high level.
Additionally, Kun Zuo caught sight of the white dragon horse.
With his sharp eye, he could instantly tell that it was an adult from the Rebel Dragon Race. Remembering the events from before, doubts arose in his heart.
The peak experts outside breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Kun Zuo was unharmed.
The deaths of hundreds of thousands was certainly a major event, a catastrophic one at that.
But there was absolutely nothing more severe than the death of a peak expert. If that truly happened, it would be a calamity that could shatter the heavens.
Now that Kun Zuo was alive, everything could be negotiated.
They approached this peak expert, speaking softly about the information they had just received from the Su Clan.
Kun Zuo's mood shifted between suspicion and uncertainty.
He carefully recalled all the details of this story and suddenly realized that it seemed… to really be the case.
Was it possible that his casual decision back then had truly created such hatred for the person in his hands now?
Kun Zuo was half-convinced but felt that something was off.
Some members of the Su Clan and the Alliance of Small Races stepped forward and soon stood before Kun Zuo.
Kun Zuo scanned their faces, his expression cold, and said nothing.
“If we wish to gain the forgiveness of the Hall People and redeem Elder Huo Zhi, what must we offer?”
The first to speak was Jie Su.
After becoming a great expert, his influence within the Su Clan had risen sharply. It was easy to imagine that upon returning, he would certainly secure an elder position.
Such a young elder represented endless prospects, indicating that barring unforeseen circumstances, Yao Han Su would definitely push him towards the next clan leader’s position!
Even if he didn't succeed, he would surely sit in that position one day.
Jie Su was qualified to represent the Su Clan at this moment.
“What needs to be paid?” Kun Zuo's anger began to rise, “You need to pay the lives of two hundred thousand Su Clan formation masters, plus the life of Huo Zhi!”
Jie Su fell silent for a moment before replying, “The incident has already occurred. Apologies, explanations, threats, and anger are all meaningless. The most significant thing is how to resolve this. I understand your current feelings, but you should also realize that everything has its value, even the life of Elder Huo Zhi, who caused you tremendous harm.”
“The hatred originated from you, and it should also end with you. Elder Huo Zhi's actions are something we of the Su Clan don’t wish to see either, but since it has happened, we can’t just watch him die. Therefore, I hope you can calmly and seriously consider how we can make amends for this misunderstanding. As long as the Su Clan can do it, we are willing to give everything.”
