Chapter 343: Closure and Gathering

The duo against him had ended in a really bad situation, they were still standing up there in the air, but their bodies were full of holes, bruises, and blood.

They looked more like scarecrows than human beings at that moment. It was surely a sight none of them wanted to have a look at.

To make matters worse they had lost in one move. One move, where they had the effect of surprise and attacked Tianlong Yun.

This clearly showed the hard reality to everyone in the crowd, they had no chance of survival if they didn't accept his offer.

It was truly a harsh wake up in the circumstances they were at that moment. All their wish and courage to try and negotiate on the number of the fights had been extinguished.

They were part of a game where they held no cards in their hands, as even the cards they could possibly have, had become Tianlong Yun's.

But the show didn't seem to have finished because they could still feel the duo's hearts beat, they were still alive, Tianlong Yun had made sure they still had breath in them.

With a single thought, the duo disappeared from the real world and appeared inside a special room inside the Old Pouch.

While outside the old men were once again stunned at what was happening in front of their eyes. This was the first time they were seeing someone disappear like this.

On the other hand, Tianlong Yun seemed calm, and carefree, as he looked at the crowd. He had managed to truly terrify them, and now they wouldn't even dream of opposing his conditions.

"Are there any more idiots with a death wish that don't think my conditions are magnanimous!?"

His words were said with a calm and carefree tone, and while the meaning they held was simple, to the old men on the ground it was terrifying.

'Either accept the conditions and have a shot at life or die by refusing!'

Immediately as Tianlong Yun's words sounded out, the crowd fell to their knees, and without any hope screamed loudly.

"Esteemed Master, we accept your offer, and offer you everything we possess in hope that you take a better look at our situation!"

Even though they didn't have any other choice, they were hoping of trading a bit more chance of survival with what they held.

Tianlong Yun had already decided to take everything in their possession but hearing their words, more plans started piling up inside his head, as he accepted, and showed his magnanimity.

"Very well since you have so decided I shall complete your wish, and take your belongings from you, giving you a discount on your fights, from now on you only need 7 to earn your freedom."

His words clearly stunned the crowd as they didn't expect such a thing, it was completely out of their expectations, but what was the catch, Tianlong Yun didn't seem like some kind spirit.

He was an asura, that would mock, play, and kill all his opponents, and they were kind of dumbstruck when they heard his next words.

"I know you may not believe me, for that reason I am ready to sign a soul contract with each and any one of you so that you don't disbelieve my kind intentions."

The crowd of 11 people left couldn't believe their ears. Just what was going on in here? Tianlong Yun was clearly not a kind and magnanimous person to them.

Just a while ago they had tried to kill him and were his enemies. Just what was he thinking right now? But there was nothing they could think about, and he had already prepared the soul-contract.

The contents were truly simple, Tianlong Yun abided to the exchange of all their possessions and belongings at the moment, with minus 3 survival fights for them.

The old men were stunned because the contract seemed simple and legit, and there was nothing coming out of their mind at the moment, so they all lined up and signed, one by one.

They didn't know why but the moment they did, they felt their souls shiver, and a really horrifying bad premonition embrace them.

Tianlong Yun didn't bother with them anymore, as he took them into a special area inside the Old Pouch, and turned towards the back where Zi Qian was waiting for him.

Differently from earlier though now she looked really weak, her complexion had turned almost jade white, and one could see with clear eyes that her body was deteriorating.

The previous estimation of one week had considerably fallen down, and her body could no longer hold that much.

Looking at her body and her expression, Tianlong Yun seemed really calm and not bothered at all. He didn't look worried at all.

"And to think that I thought this body looked good for you. Anyway, pick one from the ground, and follow me.

It won't last long but don't worry, soon we will head to the Immortal World and I will find you a perfect one!"

As soon as he said that, he spread his spirit sense all over the area, grabbing any treasure and space ring he could find, and place them in his Old Pouch.

As for the bodies in there, besides the one chosen by Zi Qian to occupy, all the others turned into energy and dust that integrated with the surroundings.

With everything taken care of, Zi Qian removed the barrier around this place, as they left towards Shanghai City's big families' gathering.

After all their undertakings the previous night, not only here in Shanghai but all over China, it was certain that they would gather in some place, and discuss their next short term plans.

Where else would this gathering take place beside the main mansion of the true overlords of Shanghai City, the Qin family.

In the main mansion of the Qin family, inside a big party hall, more than 200 people were participating in the discussions of their next short term plans, on how to deal with the Shadow Clan.

This discussion gathering was presided by the Qin family's Master, as he with two other middle-aged men were seating around a podium table, with the rest seating down on chairs, like in a theater.

In this gathering and planning discussion, only those three could discuss, the rest were just participants to witness their wisdom, and had no right to say anything.

Of course, the other two people seating with him were about at the same importance as him, as it was Master Yao Wu, and an elder from the Tang family, who came escorting their fairy.

Each of the three had their own plans and ideas on how to deal with the situation next, and at the same time damage their opponents.

Even though Master Yao Wu hated Tianlong Yun more than anyone it hadn't been him the one who sent the team behind Tianlong Yun, but Master Qin.

Well considering the fact that his son, the future head of the Qin family had been humiliated like that in the party the other night, it was more than expected.

Qin Tuo wasn't someone that would take such a humiliation standing, not to mention that he was there representing the Qin family.

Of course, Master Yao himself wouldn't let such an occasion slip away as he almost immediately agreed, he wanted to make Tianlong Yun suffer the same hardships as his legitimate son.

Master Qin wasn't left much behind him, as he wanted to drink Tianlong Yun's blood for humiliating his son, and also his family.

But the pain was still small compared to Master Yao Wu, as Qin Tuo was only his eldest son, he still had two more.

As for the Tang family, they went along with the flow, but with the condition that they took what, Tianlong Yun carried on him, as the other two took his body.

Then a discussion happened, and at the end, it was decided on a 20/20/60 division of his belongings, and the rights over him as a prisoner would fall on all three of them.

They didn't even doubt that the team they sent would have any problems in capturing him and bringing him to them. After all, they had sent a really powerful line-up after him.

At the moment, the trio was discussing over the failure of their attacks, and the fact that a lot of their people were captured, and were in the possession of the Tianlong family.

Until now they had taken no directive from the Tianlong family accusing them of attacking them, and saying that those were their people.

But at the same time, a lot of their manpower was lost in that attack. And now they didn't know how to approach this, they needed their men back, but surely the Tianlong family wouldn't just let them go.

So the problem was if they should go and trade with the Tianlong family for their men, or not. If they did, it was basically accepting that they were the ones to attack them.

But if they didn't, it would be the same as abandoning their people, and the morale in their camp would surely plummet, as a big part of the people sent were cannon fodder from the smaller families.

Master Qin and Master Yao were having two opposing opinions, as the Tang family's elder seemed undecided at the moment.

One thing was for sure though, if they went, the Tianlong family would surely cut a large piece of meat from their body, and no one wanted that.

They were in some kind of a stalemate at the moment, as someone stood from the crowd, and said in a reverent voice.

"Three Esteemed Master's this little one is foolish and uneducated, but would like to offer a piece for thought.

I am wondering if the three Esteemed Master, would allow me to express my thought...
