Chapter 294: Martial Ancestor Breakthrough

"I will compensate you with a few Zhang Family shops, how about that?" the Zhang Family Head said.

It was impossible to pay with his life, so he could only trade wealth for his life.

"Are you kidding me?" the Qu Family Head sneered.

What was the use of compensating him with shops?

Shops could only accumulate Spirit Stones slowly; they couldn't bring in revenue in the short term, and he would still need to assign Martial Artists to manage them.

A battle for Chenyang City was very likely to break out now. If his Qu Family won, all the Zhang Family shops in Chenyang City would belong to his Qu Family.

If he lost, what use would more shops be?

"Our Zhang Family has already softened our stance; what exactly do you want?" the Zhang Family Head said fiercely.

He had been a hero his whole life, yet now bowing his head to the Qu Family Head, someone younger than him, was already a great blow to his Face. Now that he was being pushed repeatedly, he might as well fight him to the death.

At worst, he would risk his old life; he was confident that he could keep the Qu Family Head here permanently.

"Let's go!" The Qu Family Head stared seriously at the Zhang Family Head for a moment, waved his hand, and shouted.

"Go?" The Qu Family Martial Artists were confused on the spot. They hadn't avenged their grudges, nor had they received compensation, and now they were just going back?

However, seeing the Qu Family Head take the lead in leaving, they helplessly followed behind him.

The Zhang Family had a Martial Ancestor Expert, and since their own Martial Ancestor Expert had left, what was the point of staying here?

The Qu Family Martial Artists looked at each other in dismay when they saw the Zhang Family Head take his people away.

"Father, why are you leaving? Do you not want the Zhang Family's compensation? Those few shops are good things too!" Qu Shengtao couldn't help but chase after him and ask.

"What's so good about shops? They can't make money in the short term, and you have to invest manpower into them. It's not worth it," the Qu Family Head said.

Qu Shengtao still wanted to get to the bottom of it, but the Qu Family Head stopped him directly.

It was impossible to explain it to this second son.

How could he possibly know that no matter what the Zhang Family compensated, it would be meaningless!

The Zhang Family might compensate with shops, but that was of no use to the Qu Family.

Compensate with some Spirit Stones?

Does the Qu Family lack Spirit Stones?

The entire Ziyun Auction House makes a fortune every day; what would they need so many Spirit Stones for?

Below the Martial Ancestor realm, Spirit Stones still had some use, but above the Martial Ancestor realm, most transactions were barter. Who would be willing to trade precious treasures for Spirit Stones?

As for wanting the Zhang Family to compensate with some divine Sharp Weapons to gain an advantage when fighting for Chenyang City, the Zhang Family wasn't stupid; they wouldn't agree.

Right now, they had brought few people, and if they fought the Zhang Family, they would only be at a disadvantage. If they didn't come back, what would be the point of staying there?

The Qu Family Head glanced at his second son and found that his eyes were clear, obviously having understood the pros and cons. He then looked at his third son and shook his head.

Qu Shengtao saw the Qu Family Head shaking his head, and immediately his anger exploded. Why was his father so biased, treating his younger brother so well, while being so harsh to him and looking down on him?

In a tavern in Chenyang City, Qin Ming was practicing in his room when a Disciple respectfully knocked on Qin Ming's door.

"Come in!" Qin Ming opened his eyes and called out.

Usually, the Disciples wouldn't disturb him, especially knowing that he needed to practice at this time. Since they were knocking now, it was clear that they had something important to report.

A Feather Transformation Sect Disciple pushed the door open and walked in, cupping his hands and handing a letter to Qin Ming: "This is a letter that just arrived from Liu City!"

Qin Ming quickly took the letter, opened the envelope, and began to read it carefully.

"Good, good, good!" Qin Ming laughed loudly. "Father has finally achieved a Martial Ancestor Breakthrough."
