Chapter 184: Chapter 146 Pharmacy_2

The pressure didn’t come from Zhao Ge, but from Li Yi who stood beside him.

Zhao Ge’s gaze shifted slightly, as if contemplating and measuring. Then he turned to the side, "Meng De, what do you think?"

"The various precious medicines from Sun Family’s pharmacy are indeed crucial for our Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall at present. These medicines can not only treat injured disciples but also are used for the subsequent training of hall disciples, and even help our master recover from injuries, enhance Cultivation, and even with these precious medicines combined, we could even cultivate another Qi Cultivation Expert, which is beneficial and harmless to Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall," Meng De said thoughtfully.

"If we blindly kill, leading to a lose-lose situation, the final outcome will just be more lives stained on Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall’s hands, pointless for the overall situation," Li Yi said calmly.

"Indeed, Meng De speaks sense. Sun Family’s pharmacy holds various elixirs and precious medicines, which are in dire need for Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall at present," Zhao Ge nodded. "If we truly wiped out the Sun Family, we would be the ones at a loss in the end. So, Meng De suggests that we make peace?"

Li Yi’s eyes turned cold as he immediately said, "No, if they want reconciliation, the Sun Family’s sincerity is lacking. By using the destruction of medicines to coerce us, they are simply too naive. Shen Shi, is it? Since you have connections with Sun Family, then tell them, if they want to live, it’s simple: deliver everything, and on top of that, add the heads of ten Blood Refining Warriors, including that of the Store Manager himself."

"If they can do it, the rest of the Sun Family may leave Sanyang City alive. If not, after a quarter of an hour, I will be at their doorstep. As for them wanting to destroy the medicines, let them destroy it, I, Li Yi, don’t care," he continued forthrightly.

At these words, the people from the three major workshops couldn’t help but change their expressions.

They hadn’t expected Li Yi to demand the addition of ten Blood Refining Warriors’ heads from the Sun Family, which was something the Sun Family would never agree to. Without ten Blood Refining Warriors and losing all its assets, the Sun Family would likely face complete decline. But if they didn’t agree, the Sun Family disciples would probably be unable to leave Sanyang City.

Being hunted by two Qi Cultivation Experts would be like there being no escape to the heavens, no door into the earth.

And what’s more ruthless about Li Yi’s demand wasn’t just the weakening of the Sun Family, but sowing internal discord within them.

When the time came to gather those ten heads, there would undoubtedly be chaos within the Sun Family; after all, no one was willing to offer up their own head.

"Master Shen, was I not clear enough? You can either go back with the message or wait here; waiting also counts as time," Li Yi said, his gaze turned towards the workshop master.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li’s reminder is extremely valid. I will immediately have someone contact the Sun Family," Shen Shi felt he was in an impossible position; if he conveyed this requirement, the Sun Family would undoubtedly hate him to death.

But no matter what, Shen Shi had to do it. Otherwise, offending Li Yi would be worse than just being in an awkward position; he might not even be treated as a human being.

At the side, Zhao Ge couldn’t help but inwardly nod at Meng De’s clever tactic upon hearing this.

If the Sun Family were simply let go casually, they would surely be able to rise again someday. After all, the Sun Family’s personnel were intact and their spirit was unbroken. But with Meng De’s maneuver, they would not only lose ten Blood Martial Artists, but their family conflicts would exponentially increase as well. Even if they managed to leave Sanyang City alive, a family that lost its spirit would not amount to much.

The other two workshop masters, upon looking at Li Yi again, showed more than just respect; there was also awe.

With a single sentence, he could ruin the Sun Family’s four generations of work and thwart their plan to keep people but lose land. It’s not something just any young expert could achieve.

Rong Niang at Li Yi’s side, however, was not surprised by this. She had seen how her senior brother managed to quickly disintegrate the Jin Family Martial Arts Hall, demanding twenty heads as the price for survival, leading the Jin Family Martial Arts Academy Disciples to turn on each other. The most ingenious part was to leave immediately amidst the chaos, allowing the remaining people to suspect and resent one another, even to the point where they couldn’t hate the senior brother.

Such a strategy that targeted the mind profoundly impressed Rong Niang.

In fact, Li Yi had no real understanding of tactics or schemes but was merely influenced by palace dramas, political intrigue, and war TV shows he watched when returning from work. With the mind of an Evolver, strategies came to him effortlessly.

In ancient times, he might not have made a good strategist, but as a demolitionist or a wrecker, it surely wouldn’t be a problem.

Sometimes, Li Yi himself wondered if Earth Prisoners were inherently evil since they quickly learned bad things rather than good.

However, Li Yi felt that compared to these powers’ annihilation of Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall, his approach was relatively merciful.

At least he had left each family with a measure of restraint, not exterminating them completely.

Yet it remained to be seen whether this kind of mercy was good or bad.

Thus, roughly after a quarter of an hour had passed.

Down the nearby street, a man with half-grey hair, appearing to be about fifty and covered in blood, rode a horse rushing towards them.

"It’s the Store Manager of Sun Family’s pharmacy, Sun Yao Ren," Hua San, the master of Hua Fang, recognized the incoming person immediately.

Zhao Ge’s eyes narrowed: "He’s coming to us. It seems that Master Sun is pressured by Meng De’s demand and now has to show up himself. It’s a pity for Sun Yao Ren. I had seen him when I entered the Refining Realm; he was young and full of vigor, possessing the strength of Blood Refining Peak, with great potential to break through to the Refining Realm. Unfortunately, he went into the mountains to collect treasures and encountered a ghost soldier crossing, resulting in injury to his Divine Soul, just like me. Afterwards, he managed to get some Coffin Ganoderma for treatment, but his Qi-Blood declined severely. Even with big medicine, his peak was no more, and he failed three times at the breakthrough."
