Chapter 952 Reaching Agreement

After hearing this, Xue Ling smiled slightly and said:

"I agree with the city lord on this matter. Such things must be resolutely prevented. Otherwise, if we let it go this time, the Jin family will definitely become even more aggressive, which will be detrimental to the stability of Wanhao Immortal City."

Kuang Mei, whose skin was bronze, put down his teacup and said coldly:
"After this matter is resolved, we will release the news that the Jin family has been illegally mining other people's immortal stone veins. I want to see if the Jin family can stay in Wanhao Immortal City."

Xue Ling frowned and said:
"This is probably not a good idea. Only the Wanqi family and the City Lord's Mansion know about this matter. If the news gets out, the Jin family will definitely target the Wanqi family, and the grudge between the two families will only deepen."

Kuang Mei raised a thick eyebrow and said:

"You forgot, there's another ascended cultivator who knows about this, and she's also a victim. If she gets angry and exposes it, then you can't blame the Wanqi family and the city lord's mansion. It's their fault for acting unethically."

Xue Ling thought about it for a moment and felt that this was a more prudent approach, so she nodded in agreement.

That's why Yunxi had the opportunity to meet the city lord of Wanhao Immortal City and Jinlong, the representative of the Jin family. She calmly recounted her experiences, made a vow to Heaven afterward, and with a sorrowful expression, asked the city lord of Kuangmei to seek justice for her fallen companions and to avenge the ascended cultivators.

The Lord of Kuangmei City nodded calmly, then turned and asked:
"Jinlong, have you investigated this matter thoroughly?"

Jinlong, looking dejected, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and replied:

"City Lord, please calm down. It is indeed the fault of my Jin family. We only found out after investigating the Jin Lai lineage that Jin Lai took such a risk and did such a thing in order to get more cultivation resources for his lineage, which has made the Jin family lose all face."

The Jin family is willing to accept any punishment. We earnestly request the city lord not to implicate the entire Jin family because of him alone. After all, he was the one who committed the crime, and he did not tell the truth afterward, misleading the family and almost causing a conflict between us and the Wanqi family. This is something the Jin family will never allow.

As soon as Jinlong said this, everyone present knew that the Jin family was sacrificing a pawn to save the king.

Kuang Mei had anticipated this outcome, so she turned to look at Wan Qiyou and said:
"Wan Qiyou, how do you want the Jin family to compensate you?"

Wanqiyou cupped his hands and said:

"Reporting to the City Lord, the Wanqi family is not unreasonable. Since it was Jin Lai who did it, and the immortal stones he dug out were all supplied to his lineage, then let Jin Lai's lineage compensate us with the profits from a mid-grade immortal stone mine."

Although Jinlong was prepared, he still felt a pang of heartache upon hearing Wan Qiyou's words. However, he sighed and said:

"I have explained the whole story to the Jinlai clan, and they are willing to make compensation to make up for the damage to the family's reputation."

Furthermore, to serve as a warning to others, the Jin family also relocated this branch of the family from their ancestral lands. They will leave Wanhao Immortal City in three days, and their future plans will be none of the Jin family's concern.

This is tantamount to extermination of the entire clan; the punishment is quite severe.

Kuang Mei nodded and said:
"It seems the Jin family is quite reasonable. In that case, you agree to compensate the Wanqi family?"

"Yes."

"Wan Qiyou, besides compensation, do you have any other demands?"

Wan Qiyou stroked his beautiful beard and said:

"The Wanqi family will only take what they deserve and will not make exorbitant demands. They also have no intention of making enemies with the Jin family. However, this ascended cultivator is also a victim, and the Jin family should make some compensation!"

These words instantly drew everyone's attention back to Yun Xi. Yun Xi lowered her eyes, inwardly sneering at Wan Qiyou's words, but her face remained etched with sorrow. Only when Kuang Mei asked her question did she raise her head, her eyes red, and cup her hands in a gesture of respect:

"I dare to ask the city lord to execute Immortal Jinlai. The miners who died were not only my daughter's fellow disciples and friends, but also many ascended cultivators, no less than five hundred people. They ascended to the Immortal Realm full of longing, but ultimately died in a corner unknown to anyone. How can their people bear this?"

In order to control us, Jin Lai took away our identity jade tokens. If we hadn't met Immortal Wanqi You, even if I had escaped from the tiger's mouth, I would still be an unidentified stowaway, which would not only attract the pursuit of the Jin family, but also the investigation of the celestial officials.

I too will be scorned and reduced to an undocumented stowaway. I beg the city lord to return my identity jade token and execute the instigator.

Kuang Mei glanced at Yun Xi, whose face was resolute, before turning to look at Wan Qi You. Wan Qi Wei had already presented a storage ring and explained:
“City Lord, Deputy City Lord, these are all the identity jade tokens of ascended cultivators that Jin Lai forcibly seized. They include immortals who were killed by Jin Lai on the spot, as well as cultivators who had fallen before. Among them is Fellow Daoist Ran Xi’s. Because the matter is not yet settled, the items found in the mine’s magic house have been sealed, which is why we have not been able to return Fellow Daoist Ran Xi’s identity jade token.”

Kuang Mei nodded and said:
"You did the right thing."

He scanned the storage ring with his divine sense, then pulled out an identity jade token and tossed it to Yun Xi:
"Is this your identity jade token?"

Yunxi caught it and replied with delight:
"Thank you, City Lord. This is indeed my identity jade token."

He then hung it on his waist.

Kuang Mei then tossed the storage ring to the golden dragon and said coldly:
"Jinlong, count how many identity jade tokens are inside."

His voice was very gloomy, and anyone could tell that Kuang Mei was furious.

Jinlong felt the overwhelming pressure coming at him, and he could only grit his teeth and endure it. After taking the storage ring and glancing at it, he lowered his eyes and said:

"Besides the one the city lord just took, there are a total of 1,148 identity jade tokens inside."

Kuang Mei's voice grew even colder, and he narrowed his eyes as he said:
"That's 1,148 lives. Among them must be cultivators who can ascend to the God Realm. Does the Jin family have any objections to executing Jin Lai and his subordinates?"

"Of course, if your Jin family vouches for him, this city lord can decide to cripple his cultivation and spare his life."

Jinlong immediately stepped forward and said:

“Jin Lai deserves to die. He has no right to live. Since he did something wrong, he must pay the price for his decision. We cannot let the entire Jin family fall into a quagmire because of him. There are many disciples in the clan who are unaware of the situation. They did nothing wrong, and the Jin family will compensate our friend Ran Xi.”

After saying that, he immediately took out a storage bracelet and pushed it directly in front of Yunxi.

Yunxi didn't accept it, but looked at the Lord of Kuangmei City. If he didn't nod, she didn't need this so-called compensation. Anyway, she already had the identity jade token and could leave Wanhao Immortal City at any time.

Kuang Mei nodded to Yun Xi and said:
"Take it! You deserve it."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord."

Yunxi then put away the storage bracelet, simply placing it in her sleeve without checking its contents. She then politely retreated behind Wanqiyou, having done what she needed to do.

Xue Ling then stepped forward and said:
"Since both sides have reached an agreement, the matter ends here. The Jin family is required to send the compensation to the Wan family within three days, and Jin Lai will be executed three days later."

"Yes."

After Jinlong agreed, he led his clansmen out of the city lord's mansion. But as soon as he stepped out of the gate, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
