Ahead, the smile on Elder Zheng Shengs face grew as he stepped forward, looking at the people of the Cao family.
“Brother Cao Tie, the outcome of todays battle has been determined. We don’t need to continue fighting, do we?” Originally, they had agreed to settle the outcome in three matches.
But now that the Zheng Family had won both matches, there was no need to continue.
Moreover, for experts like Zheng Sheng and Cao Tie, it was better not to attack if there was no need.
Cao Tie’s expression changed, and he finally nodded.
His nod meant that this mine would be handed over to the Zheng family.
Everyone from the Zheng family smiled.
“Zheng Sheng, you’ve won the gambling match, but that doesn’t mean this mine belongs entirely to you.” Just then, a voice sounded from a distance.
This voice caused the expressions of everyone present to change.
In the distant sky, several figures descended in an instant.
“The Xu family, the Du family.”
Zheng Changtian narrowed his eyes and stared at the approaching figures.
Zheng Sheng snorted and flew up. The moment he stood up, an illusory figure appeared in front of him.
This figure first turned into a mist, pressing down towards the space in front of him. Then it directly condensed into a 100-foot-tall mountain-like golden-armored general.
A level six Battle Puppet!
The Battle Puppet held a war hammer horizontally in its hand and smashed it down at the descending figures.
Without waiting for anyone to speak or negotiate, just a direct blow.
This decisiveness was unexpected from a level six powerhouse.
One would expect stronger individuals to be more cautious, right?
“With his cultivation level and being a puppet master, the best way is to crush the enemy first or isolate them a thousand feet away.
“Puppet masters should hide behind their own Battle Puppets.” Han Muye’ s voice sounded behind He Yangsun.
This was the way a level six expert should confront his enemies.
He Yangsun nodded and watched as the 100-foot-tall golden-armored Battle Puppet smashed down with its hammer, causing the surrounding void to collapse.
The power of the void couldn’t withstand this blow.
The sound of a sonic boom erupted, and all the double-horned horses around knelt down on their four hooves.
Only Han Muye’s blood leopard and Cao Tie’s azure wolf remained unaffected.
“Zheng Sheng, how arrogant!’
“Zheng, what do you mean—”
Several voices roared as figures fled in panic.
“Hmph, this isn’t how you treat your guests.” With a cold snort, a palm shot towards the golden hammer.
“Bang!
The golden hammer collided with the palm, causing the air for miles around to explode.
The faces of the Zheng Family juniors all turned red as they spat out a mouthful of blood.
He Yangsun’s expression changed. He raised his hand, and a green halo flew to Zheng Yuyan’s side, transforming into a Battle Puppet.
The war puppet raised its hand, emitting a golden halo that formed a faint light screen, enveloping Zheng Yuyan.
Zheng Yuyan’s face showed a hint of confusion as she looked at He Yangsun. Battle Puppet?
Isn’t he an Armor Master?
He Yangsun didn’t say anything. He raised his head and looked at the disappearing palm and the slowly retracting golden hammer.
The 100-foot-tall Battle Puppet condensed into a 10-foot-tall figure and stood in front of Zheng Sheng. Not far away, more than a dozen experts landed.
“Elder Xu Ciling of the Xu family, Du Yunchong of the Du family. “What’s this, coming to snatch the mine from our Zheng family?
“Well, let’s see if you’re capable of that.”
Zheng Sheng snorted and slowly raised his palm.
The Battle Puppet in front of him also raised its hand, its eyes flashing.
“The Cao family gave two-thirds of this mine to the Xu family and the Du family as a share for managing it.” Elder Xu Ciling of the Xu family, dressed in black robes, stepped forward, his expression solemn.
He was a level five Puppet Master, slightly inferior to Zheng Sheng, the level six expert.
If it weren’t for the support of Elder Du Yunzhong, he wouldn’t dare to confront Zheng Sheng directly.
Du Yunzhong, also level six, was an Armor Master.
“A share?” Zheng Sheng frowned, turning to look at the people of the Cao family.
Cao Tie’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, but he still nodded. “Yes, indeed. Initially, our Cao familys mines were indeed managed by the Xu family and the Du family, and we gave them two-thirds of the shares.”
The Cao family in Yuyang City was far from this mine. Unable to control it, they chose to seek cooperation with other families in Maple Forest City.
“Brother Zheng, now that the Cao family is withdrawing, how to negotiate with the Du family and the Xu family is up to you.”
After saying this, Cao Tie cupped his hands and led the Cao family to retreat a thousand feet away.
With the Cao family’s withdrawal, the owner of the mine would be the Zheng family.
But the Xu family and the Du family were also prominent families in the city, and Du Yunzhong, in front of them, was a level six Armor Master, not weaker than Zheng Sheng in combat power.
Zheng Sheng frowned and looked at Zheng Changtian.
Zheng Changtian was the family head.
Zheng Changtian’s gaze swept over the people of the Du and Xu families, his expression solemn.
They were all powerhouses.
Today’s situation was probably not as simple as the Zheng family wanting to reclaim the mine.
“Well, since the Cao family is giving two-thirds of the shares to the Xu family and the Du family for managing the mine, then our Zheng family won’t take back this share. From now on, two-thirds of this mine will still be handed over to the Xu family and the Du family.”
Zheng Changtian looked at Du Yunchong in front and spoke loudly.
Even if it meant losing tens of thousands of origin coins in a year, there was no other way.
The interactions between noble families had always been like this; it was not easy to monopolize benefits.
“Two-thirds?” Du Yunzhong showed a smile on his face, saying lightly, “These two-thirds are what we deserve for managing the mine.
“Since your Zheng family has obtained all the mines today, then give our two families one-third each.’
One-third for each family meant giving out two-thirds of the shares.
So, after the Zheng family’s gambling match, they only gained an extra one-third?
Moreover, the Cao family was different from the Xu family and the Du family.
The Cao family hardly intervened when sharing the mine. If the Zheng family took more, they wouldn’t say anything..
