Silence became the theme of the moment.
Five billion five hundred million. This was a number that could leave anyone dazed.
Not to mention a small clan like the Star-Eye Clan; even for super clans like the Su Clan and the Hall People, this was definitely a price that would make them utter the words "astronomical figures."
This number was roughly equivalent to the income from the Hall People participating in dozens of planet hunting grounds, about the profit from the Tarros Red Dwarf selling hundreds of thousands of Crimson Condensation Equipment, and roughly equal to the savings of the Lena People over decades...
This was a number that could drive any race insane.
Yes, the dignity of the Hall People had been trampled this time; they had sacrificed hundreds of thousands of excellent warriors, even losing a prince and several peak experts.
But in the face of five billion five hundred million Moon Age Gold, all of that seemed a bit pale and powerless.
Just now, almost all of the Hall People wanted to kill every last member of the Su Clan and the Alliance of Small Races, to torture the unconscious Elder Huo Zhi to death.
But now, hearing this number, they fell silent.
If someone else had said it, they might not have believed it. But now they were in the presence of the most famous elder of the Su Clan, and the promise came from their youngest peak expert. Even if it wasn't Ye Zhongming from the Su Clan, he was still this year's rookie champion, Jie Su's good friend, and the representative of the Alliance of Small Races in Dark Strip City.
While they might not be able to produce five billion five hundred million immediately, given some time or trading some equipment as collateral, it should be possible.
Although the Hall People had lost so many, if they obtained this five billion five hundred million, it would definitely allow their strength not only to recover but to rise significantly.
As for Kunz座, he held a weapon at the divine level. If someone offered him five billion five hundred million Moon Age Gold to buy the Fallen Saint Bow, would he sell it?
The answer was undoubtedly yes, because with five billion five hundred million, he could buy several divine-level items anew.
Under these circumstances, how important was hatred?
Everyone at the scene fell quiet, waiting for Kunz座 to make a decision.
Five billion five hundred million was already the bottom line for Jie Su and Ye Zhongming and others.
Any more, and the Su Clan and the Alliance of Small Races would be dragged down.
Even so, Jie Su, upon returning, would inevitably face the fiercest backlash from within the Su Clan, but he had the confidence to confront it because he had become a peak expert.
But even speaking more would likely be beyond his capacity. No matter how much Yao Han Su cared for him and believed in him, he was ultimately the leader of the Su Clan. Everything had to start from the overall interest of the Su Clan, and Jie Su couldn't overstep that boundary.
The same went for Ye Zhongming. He and Pao Bai were responsible for this money, and they held the major responsibility because Jie Su and the Su Clan were essentially helping Pao Bai. The reason Ye Zhongming had the confidence to agree to this figure was first because, as a glorious artisan, he was a wealth-creating machine; give him time, and he could create miracles.
The second reason was that Ye Zhongming had the Library Palace behind him.
There’s a saying that experience shapes perspective.
Previously, when Ye Zhongming received the Library Palace's recognition, they had once disbursed tens of millions of Moon Age Gold. At that moment, it truly stunned the King of Cloud Summit, who had just finished the rookie battlefield; he felt that it was a substantial amount of money.
But later, Ye Zhongming realized that for some major clans or super clans, tens of millions of Moon Age Gold was really nothing. The Library Palace must have a lot of resources accumulated over the years; tens of millions should just be a small part. If he asked, the Library Palace would surely support him considerably.
