Martial Master

The Lord of Ba Qiu City looked at Qing Xue Si Lan with surprise, thinking to himself that it's said the Second Miss of the Qing Xue family is very innocent, but now it seems she is quite eloquent. He nodded and addressed Zhuge Feng, “What is the Zhuge family’s stance on the Qing Xue family's demands?”

“Apologize? That’s just a dream. Our Zhuge family will not apologize,” Zhuge Feng scoffed coldly.

“Very well.” The Lord of Ba Qiu City clapped his hands and said, “You see, isn’t this quite good?

If there are conflicts, let’s speak nicely; why resort to weapons? Look, everyone understands each other’s demands, and this matter is resolved just like that.”

“What?” Everyone thought they had heard wrong. This matter is resolved just like that?

The demands from both sides had not yet been met, and the Lord of Ba Qiu City's words left everyone present a bit dazed.

Zhuge Feng frowned and said in a deep voice, “Lord of Ba Qiu City, what do you mean by that?

When did we agree to reconcile?”

“Is that to say? The Zhuge family does not agree to reconcile?” The Lord of Ba Qiu City suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with cold light. A powerful force surged forth like an ocean, and he spoke in a chilling voice, “Come here! Take all the disciples of the Zhuge family into the South Dou City jail!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying power instantly pressed down on all the members of the Zhuge family present.

“Lord of Ba Qiu City, what are you doing?” Zhuge Feng shouted angrily.

“What am I doing? The Zhuge family does not agree to reconcile, so this Lord must naturally investigate the matter clearly. Your Zhuge family committed large-scale killings in South Dou City, causing immense losses and the fall of countless innocent civilians. As the city lord dispatched by the Heavenly Alliance to South Dou City, I must maintain order in South Dou City. Therefore, I trouble the Zhuge family to endure a bit and wear those shackles in jail for some time so that this Lord can investigate the truth properly.”

“You…” Zhuge Feng's face changed abruptly, but before he could finish his sentence, the Lord of Ba Qiu City had already stepped forward, standing before him with eyes containing endless laws, filled with a heart-pounding divine light that made Zhuge Feng's words choke in his throat.

“I do not know if the Zhuge family has any objections to reconciling?” The Lord of Ba Qiu City said coldly.

Zhuge Feng immediately fell silent, his eyes fierce as he realized that the Lord of Ba Qiu City was indeed capable of such actions.

“We… have no objections.”

“Then what about the Qing Xue family?”

“We also have no objections!” Qing Xue Ming said, knowing when to stop while ahead. After all, the Zhuge family had lost four elders, which was a far greater loss than theirs.

The Lord of Ba Qiu City instantly became amiable again and sat down once more, “You see, isn’t this good?

Everyone can understand each other; both of your families are top-tier powers in the Southern Heavenly Realm, so naturally, you should set an example for the powers of the Southern Heavenly Realm. I hope that both sides will no longer stir up trouble in South Dou City. At the same time, considering the damages caused to South Dou City, both sides will need to pay fifty mid-grade Saint Master Holy Veins as compensation for the destruction at the South Dou City port.”

“As for the other forces that participated in the battle today, there will be no punishment this time. Please reflect on this and in the future, I do not wish to see such large-scale slaughter in South Dou City again. Otherwise, severe punishments will be meted out regardless of the origin of the forces, and I will show no mercy.”

The Lord of Ba Qiu City exuded a chilling aura and addressed the other forces present, “Do you have any objections?”

“We have none.”

These ordinary forces did not dare to have any objections, and they all spoke in unison.
