The surrounding crowd marveled in secret shock as they listened.
Three supreme-grade sword artifacts were already extraordinarily precious.
Not to mention that both Absolute Beginning Sword Marrow and Starfall Profound Gold were high-tier crafting materials, particularly suited for forging and upgrading sword artifacts.
As for the Taibai Profound Gold mine vein, it was one of the key foundations used by the Taihua Sword Sect to refine their swords.
As long as the mine vein did not run dry, it could continuously produce Taibai Profound Gold.
Hearing this, Yun Heng raised her eyebrows slightly.
She had originally thought Wei Quechen would try to wriggle out of it a bit longer.
She had not expected him to actually show some sincerity this time.
Lu Xuanwei also slowly spoke up:
“The Xuanxiao Sect is likewise willing to make amends for today's matter.”
“Five supreme-grade magic treasures, one high-grade spirit vein, one Earth Fire Spirit Vein, one small supreme-grade spirit stone mine vein, and fifty thousand supreme-grade spirit stones.”
What the Xuanxiao Sect offered was even more than what the Taihua Sword Sect had put forward.
Setting aside the five supreme-grade magic treasures for a moment, a single high-grade spirit vein was enough to support a medium-sized sect's cultivation for many years.
An Earth Fire Spirit Vein was especially suited for weapon refining, capable of drastically reducing the spirit energy consumed by alchemists and refiners.
Even if the small supreme-grade spirit stone mine vein was limited in size, as long as it was mined properly, it would continuously yield supreme-grade spirit stones.
On top of that, there were a whole fifty thousand supreme-grade spirit stones.
This time, the Xuanxiao Sect was truly bleeding profusely.
Yun Heng showed no emotion on the surface, but her mind was already rapidly calculating.
One, two, three...
Plus the spirit vein she had just collected from the Qingming Secret Realm...
If she counted all the various spirit veins and mine veins, she suddenly had five more in her possession.
Although this battle had been perilous, the final harvest was indeed exceptionally rich.
Inside, Yun Heng was nearly bursting with joy, yet not a trace of delight showed on her face.
She merely pondered briefly before speaking in a calm, indifferent tone:
“Passable.”
The moment those words were spoken, everyone present let out a collective sigh of relief.
Since Yun Heng accepted the compensation, it meant she did not intend to wipe out the Xuanxiao Sect and the Taihua Sword Sect completely for the time being.
Xiao Yin's expression softened slightly as well.
“In that case, we shall handle the matter this way for now.”
“The Realm-Space Crystal and ten thousand supreme-grade spirit stones promised by the imperial family will be delivered to Little Friend Yun's residence tomorrow.”
Wei Quechen followed up immediately:
“The Taihua Sword Sect's compensation will definitely be delivered within three days.”
Lu Xuanwei nodded as well.
“The Xuanxiao Sect will likewise have everything properly prepared within three days.”
Xiao Yin looked at Yun Heng.
“May I ask where Little Friend Yun is currently staying?”
“Tianque City, Wanbao Tower.”
With Yun Zhao present, she was not worried about what these people might do in secret once they knew her residence.
Xiao Yin noted down the location.
“Good. Tomorrow, I will have someone deliver the items to Wanbao Tower.”
The matter finally came to a temporary close.
The spectating cultivators gathered around gradually began to disperse.
Too many things had happened today.
The Qingming Secret Realm had suddenly collapsed, Xie Wujiu had been severely injured, Su Mingyuan had publicly accused Yun Heng, and two major sects had joined forces against a young female cultivator...
And in the end, it had even involved a secluded clan of unfathomable strength.
Everyone now only wanted to return as quickly as possible to inform their respective sects and clans of today's events.
It would not be long before the news that Yun Heng was the Young Lord of a secluded clan spread throughout the entire Eastern Region.
Yun Heng paid no mind to what those people were thinking.
Just as she was about to leave with her people, Yan Yi's voice suddenly came from behind her.
“Yun Heng!”
Yun Heng paused in her tracks and turned to look back.
Yan Yi quickly walked up to her and looked her over carefully.
“Are your injuries severe?”
The worry on Yan Yi's face was completely undisguised.
A smile touched Yun Heng's face.
“I'm fine.”
“I was only affected by the pressure at the very beginning, causing my Qi and blood to churn slightly. I'll be fine after meditating for a bit when we get back.”
Confirming that she was not seriously injured, Yan Yi finally let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately after, her expression grew somewhat complicated.
“I can't believe you're actually a clan's Young Lord.”
“You never mentioned it before.”
The smile on Yun Heng's face stiffened slightly, and a rare trace of embarrassment welled up inside her.
She could hardly tell Yan Yi that this secluded clan had been arranged for her by the System from start to finish.
And her so-called identity as a Young Lord was something she had drawn card by card along the way.
Yun Heng cleared her throat lightly.
“It wasn't a big deal, so I didn't make a point of telling you.”
Yan Yi looked at her, a hint of cautiousness creeping onto her face instead.
Previously, when she did not know Yun Heng's true background, she could send her transmissions casually, share secrets of the Eastern Region with her, and joke around with her freely.
Now that she knew Yun Heng had such a powerful clan backing her, and even had a guard by her side who was suspected to be in the Body Integration Realm, she inevitably felt somewhat uneasy.
The gap between their status suddenly seemed immense.
Noticing what was on her mind, Yun Heng could not help but chuckle softly.
“Don't worry.”
“We're still good friends.”
Yan Yi's eyes lit up.
Most of the awkwardness on her face vanished in an instant.
“You said it yourself!”
Yun Heng nodded, and Yan Yi felt her heart completely settle.
“Then go back and rest well.”
“If anything comes up, just contact me using the Transmission Jade Slip.”
Having said that, she turned around and returned to where the Mirror Moon Sect was stationed.
Zhu Shuang stood where she was, looking at her disciple with a touch of helplessness.
Yan Yi had stood up for Yun Heng in public earlier, nearly entangling the Mirror Moon Sect in the conflict as well.
However, looking at it now, this might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Befriending the Young Lord of an extraordinary secluded clan could bring nothing but benefit to Yan Yi and the Mirror Moon Sect.
Yun Heng turned to look at Yun Zhao beside her.
“We need to leave here first.”
Yun Zhao immediately understood her meaning.
Xuan Yi through Xuan Shi and the two hundred Golden Armored Guards all came from the shattered realm.
Currently, there were still many cultivators lingering nearby who had not dispersed. If they were to vanish into thin air right here, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
They needed to find a deserted place first before sending everyone back to the shattered realm.
Yun Zhao raised her hand and circulated her spiritual energy.
An invisible force swiftly enveloped Yun Heng, the ten Shadow Guards, and the two hundred Golden Armored Guards.
In the next moment, everyone rose into the air together and flew in the direction away from Tianque City.
With Yun Zhao's cultivation base, flying through the air while taking over two hundred people along was not difficult.
In less than the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, everyone landed on an empty piece of land with no one around.
Yun Heng scanned the surroundings with her divine sense.
Only after confirming that there were no other cultivators nearby did she turn around to look at Xuan Yi through Xuan Shi and the two hundred Golden Armored Guards.
Quite a few of them bore injuries on their bodies.
If Yun Zhao had not appeared in time, they might very well have truly lost their lives to Lu Xuanwei today.
Yun Heng's expression turned solemn.
“You worked hard today.”
“And I almost cost you your lives for my sake.”
