After all…

Gong Ziliang had saved the Monet Dynasty from the edge of the cliff more than once.

Be it his position as the monarch or the Monet Dynasty, Mo Zhongtian already did not know how to repay the favor he owed Gong Ziliang.

Now, no matter what, it was impossible for him to ask Gong Ziliang to do anything for the Monet Dynasty.

Since Gong Ziliang was not a parasite in Mo Zhongtian’s stomach, he naturally did not know what he was thinking.

Moreover, even if he knew, he would tell Mo Zhongtian: ‘You wish, Your Majesty.’

Of the things he had done for the Monet Dynasty previously, a portion of it was done casually by Gong Ziliang.

The other part was that the Monet Dynasty had ‘copper coins’.

Gong Ziliang had always remembered the tens of trillions of copper coins.

As for the Divine Striking Whip…

If Ping Xiu said it was his, where’s the evidence?

Gong Ziliang touched his conscience and said. It was not that he was unreasonable.

Instead, there had to be evidence.

If Ping Xiu really believed that the Divine Striking Whip belonged to him, he had to give a convincing reason.

He could not just say whatever he wanted.

There was no such logic in the world.

At the very least, this did not work with Gong Ziliang.

However, they were all civilized people.

Gong Ziliang did not directly fall out with Ping Xiu for asking for something from him.

He said in a friendly tone, “Monarch Ping, put the Divine Striking Whip aside. Let’s talk about the spirit stones and medicinal pills first.”

Spirit stones and medicinal pills?

Ping Xiu’s mind could not wrap around it. He looked at Gong Ziliang fixedly, not knowing where he was coming from.

Seeing that Ping Xiu was so stupid, Gong Ziliang was a little unhappy. He pointed at Xing Feng and said, “You know this, right?”

“It’s fine if you don’t know. Twenty years ago, the Heaven Deity who slaughtered the Mo Clan’s bloodline was my brother.”

Hearing Gong Ziliang’s introduction, the pupils of Ping Xiu’s eyes that landed on Xing Feng suddenly constricted.

Heaven Deity Realm!

These words were too heavy!

Even Ping Xiu did not dare to be careless and wanted to bow.

However, as soon as he raised his hand, he was interrupted by Gong Ziliang, “Alright, this Brother Xing of mine hates these formalities the most. If you want to curry favor with him later, just send me 18 million spirit stones.”

“Let’s continue talking business.”

After being interrupted by Gong Ziliang and hearing that he kept saying spirit stones, he became even more confused.

As he listened, he recalled when he had provoked Xing Feng.

Before Ping Su could think of a reason, he heard Gong Ziliang say, “I believe you’ve heard of the relationship between Brother Xing and Monarch Mo. You can be considered a husband.”

“As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. In other words, Brother Xing and Monarch Mo are like father and son!”

When Gong Ziliang said this, not only did he stop, but even Mo Zhongtian began to feel dizzy.

Xing Feng had an awkward expression. Although the knot in his heart had been untied, he had been in a stalemate with the Monet Dynasty for more than 20 years. Now, Gong Ziliang had said that his relationship with Mo Zhongtian was that of father and son. He still could not accept it for a moment.

Gong Ziliang did not care what Xing Feng and Mo Zhongtian thought and said to Ping Xiu, “Monarch Ping, your dynasty sent troops to attack the Monet Dynasty, right?”

“Every inch of the Monet Dynasty is the property of Monarch Mo.”

“Your dynasty’s action is to bully the weak and snatch Monarch Mo’s assets.”

“According to the law, the father’s assets will be passed on to the son in the future.”

“Therefore, Monarch Ping, how should we settle the debt of you robbing my Brother Xing?”

After Gong Ziliang finished speaking, he understood, but he did not completely understand.

This was because Gong Ziliang’s theory indeed made sense in a sense.

However, according to Gong Ziliang, anyone who was related to the Monet Dynasty could come to deal with the Flat River Dynasty.

Suddenly…

Ping Xiu understood that Gong Ziliang was trying to extort him.

What Xing Feng and Mo Zhongtian were like father and son? It was all nonsense!

His face drooped. He did not want to continue pestering Gong Ziliang here and said angrily, “Fellow Daoist Liang, tell me, how should we settle this debt?”

“Monarch Ping, don’t be anxious. Let’s calculate it one by one.”

Gong Ziliang smiled happily and really calculated, “In order to resist the army of your dynasty, the Monet Dynasty has spent endless money and food. This sum will be worth 50 million spirit stones.”

“Monarch Mo and the people of the Monet Dynasty have been worried and afraid during this period of time. The mental damage compensation can be considered 50 million spirit stones.”

“Many ministers in the court have been bribed by your dynasty and can’t be used again in the future.”

“This is devastating to us. As a ruler, I believe you know that to nurture a loyal subject, you need not only money, but also effort. How about this, I’ll calculate it as 50 million spirit stones.”

“However, don’t worry, Monarch Ping. In order to not let you suffer a loss, you can bring those traitors back to the Flat River Dynasty later.”

“Right, there’s also…”

Gong Ziliang counted with his fingers and soon, the spirit stones he had to pay exceeded 200 million.

For a moment, even Mo Zhongtian could not listen anymore. He wanted to say something but hesitated a few times, wanting to say to Gong Ziliang that it was enough.

The veins on Ping Xiu’s forehead twitched. His fists were clenched tightly. If not for the fact that the situation was bad, he would have long used his fists to block Gong Ziliang’s chattering mouth.

“Look, Monarch Ping, you just have to compensate the Monet Dynasty with 730 million spirit stones.”

“On the account that the two dynasties are about to sign the decree, let’s erase the 30 million.”

“Monarch Mo, what do you think?”

Hearing the question that Gong Ziliang threw at him, how could Mo Zhongtian know if it was good or not? He could only nod mechanically.

“700 million spirit stones!”

“Sir, are you treating spirit stones as rocks by the roadside?”

Ping Xiu’s tone was filled with anger, and flames were about to spew out of his eyes.

The Flat River Dynasty was vast and there were many precious mountains in it, so there was no lack of spirit stone mines.

However, 700 million spirit stones was something that even the Flat River Dynasty might not be able to gather in a short time.

If gazes could kill, even an Ultimate God would probably be burned to ashes by the anger in Ping Xiu’s gaze.

Gong Ziliang raised his brows and the smile on his face disappeared at the same time. He said in a low voice, “From the sound of it, you plan to go back on your words?”

Hearing Gong Ziliang use the word “go back”, Ping Xiu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

The spiritual qi that had been messed up by the divine patterns in his body immediately showed signs of losing control and was about to explode at any moment.

However, before Ping Xiu could speak…

“This doesn’t include the fact that the heir of the Duke’s Mansion colluded with the Demon Cult to destroy a city of the Monet Dynasty.”

“Oh, right. Speaking of the Demon Cult, I recalled something else.”
