Chapter 1228: Defeat the Shi Family
Hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the Shi family elders finally heaved a sigh of relief as everything was finally over.
“However, the Shi family has attacked me many times, causing me to fall into dangerous situations several times. This matter naturally can not be let off so easily. We must compensate them!” said Lu Xuan indifferently.
When the elders of the Shi family heard this, their hearts immediately jumped to their throats. They did not know what kind of compensation Lu Xuan would be satisfied with.
“Immortal King Lu, please enlighten us!” said an immortal king elder of the Shi family who stepped forward with his hands cupped.
“The first thing is that the stone emperor sword belongs to me!” Lu Xuan said lightly.
Although he had the innate five elements diagram on him, the innate five elements diagram mainly focused on defense. In terms of offense, it was still slightly inferior to the stone emperor sword.
His current strength was enough to challenge an imperial emperor, and the stone emperor sword was an important component, so he could not return the stone emperor sword.
If he became an imperial emperor, he would naturally have to refine his own Natal artifact, and he did not need the stone emperor sword to support him.
Even if he cold become an imperial emperor, the Rock Emperor’s sword would still be a very useful imperial weapon. After all, he and the Rock Emperor were related by blood, and the sword would be more suitable for him than the Innate Five Elements Diagram.
“Of course!”
The Immortal King Elders of the Shi family quickly said. They had already given up on the Stone Emperor Sword. Now that it had fallen into Lu Xuan’s hands, how could they expect to get it back from him?
That was unrealistic in itself!
It was impossible not to feel heartache, but compared to surviving, it was nothing.
As Lu Xuan glanced at the elders of the Shi family, he knew what they were thinking, so he said, “Of course, since you have the Stone Emperor Sword, I don’t mind giving you protection. With your strength, ordinary immortal kings are no match for you. Immortal Kings are nothing to you; they are just another monarch race. If they take advantage of the situation to bully you, you can come to me!”
Lu Xuan did not kill them all, nor did he draw a clear line between himself and the Shi family. After all, he had the blood of the stone monarch in him. Because he was developing his innate Dao body, the blood ties between him and the Rock Emperor were closer than ever. They were probably even closer than the children of the stone monarch.
Most importantly, the reason why Lu Xuan was willing to protect them was that some people from the Shi family had helped him in his previous life. Although they did not have the chance to do so in this life, Lu Xuan was able to keep this matter in his heart for the rest of his life.
A debt of gratitude must be repaid, and a debt of hatred must be repaid.
Everyone from the Shi clan was overjoyed when they heard this. Although losing the Rock Emperor sword was a great loss, which could shake the foundation of the Shi clan, at least they had Lu Xuan’s protection, which was not too bad compared to the previous situation.
After all, everyone had witnessed Lu Xuan’s strength. Unless Lu Xuan died, there wouldn’t be anyone who would dare to ignore Lu Xuan’s words.
The Immortal Kings in the air also heard this and all fell silent. Before this, there were indeed people who wanted to take advantage of the Shi clan’s decline to take advantage of the current situation. They intended to take advantage of the fact that the Shi clan’s strength was greatly weakened and take a piece of meat from the Shi clan.
However, according to Lu Xuan, it seemed that he, who had just beaten the Shi clan until half of his body was paralyzed, would have to act as the guardian of the Shi clan.
They had no other choice. Many immortal kings even felt lucky that Lu Xuan had told them in advance. Otherwise, once they made a move, they would probably receive a fatal blow from Lu Xuan.
At the very least, before Lu Xuan died, no one dared to have any designs on the Shi family anymore. Even though the Shi family was now riddled with wounds and heavy casualties, their strength might not even be half of what it was originally.
“Secondly, I know that the stone emperor collected a lot of divine materials to refine emperor weapons back then. It’s useless to leave these for you guys. I’ll take them all!” Lu Xuan raised the second point.
After the Rock Emperor became an emperor back then, he spent a very long time to collect all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, all kinds of divine materials to refine emperor weapons.
Undeniably, these divine materials were often hard to find. After all, the ones that were easy to find were most likely already taken. Many of them were even in the primal chaos of the universe. It would take thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years before one could gain anything.
In the past, the Rock Emperor could have had so much time to collect them, but Lu Xuan did not have that much time. Now that he had received all of them, he could save tens of thousands of years of his time.
Although the Shi family members were pained, these were all priceless treasures. Any one of them was priceless. Even the Emperor clan would be envious of them.
Now, all of them were going to be given to Lu Xuan!
However, they knew in their hearts that Lu Xuan was right. They simply didn’t have the strength to refine emperor weapons, and it would be a waste to leave these things to them.
“Alright, we have no objections!”
Looking at each other, the Shi family members immediately reached a tacit understanding. Now, as long as they could make Lu Xuan calm down and not vent his anger on them, they were willing to pay any price.
“Third, I want this stone statue!” Lu Xuan pointed at the ten thousand feet tall stone statue and said.
The elders of the Shi family stared at each other and smiled bitterly. As expected, they couldn’t hide it from Lu Xuan.
He was planning to use the Shi family’s foundation to make a huge check.
This statue was made from extremely precious divine materials, but this wasn’t the most magical part. The most magical part was the Shi family’s continuous sacrifices over the years, which contained a huge amount of incense and will power.
Even though Shi Tatian had used a portion of it to fight Lu Xuan, the remaining incense and will power was still very considerable.
The weapon bore the Rock Emperor’s mark. It was the carrier of the stone emperor’s mark that existed for a long time. They used this stone statue to summon the Emperor back.
This was also one of the trump cards that the Shi family had prepared over the years, the power of which could be compared to the stone emperor sword.
The importance of these divine materials was much higher than what Lu Xuan had mentioned before.
Those divine materials that they could not refine were at most priceless and extremely valuable.
Nonetheless, the Rock Emperor sword and the stone statue that contained the stone emperor mark were the trump cards of an Emperor clan. Even if one had money, they would not be able to buy such good things.
The sum of these two was more than half of what the Shi family’ possessed.
While the elders of the Shi family looked at each other in dismay, they tried hard to control their conflicting emotions. This was too tragic; Lu Xuan had practically dug out a piece of meat from their bodies.
Although Lu Xuan had let them off, he did not intend to let them off easily. He had dug out their wealth in all sorts of ways, and they just could only watch him do that without raising a voice.
Once they objected, they were afraid that Lu Xuan would turn hostile. When the time came, he might directly snatch these things away and kill them all. The risk was too big for them.
