C604 Three Months
C604 Three Months
Hearing the question of the Elder, the patriarch of Wang family took a step forward with an apologetic smile on his face. "We can't do anything about this. Please forgive us!"
There weren't many people from the four big families. Only one person came from each family. All of them were the patriarchs of the big families.
As a matter of fact, in terms of status, they were all very respected. However, in front of the ten great sects, they could only lower their heads and apologize.
"Are you dreaming? You won't hand it over if something goes wrong? " According to our previous agreement, even if there's a problem, you still have to hand it over! "After all these years, your four great clans have stored quite a number of Water of Lifes, right? I will use the Water of Lifes that you have stored previously as compensation!"
Upon hearing this, the other sect disciple looked at the Wang Clan's Patriarch with disdain and said rudely, "However, the compensation must be doubled!"
In the eyes of the ten great sects, although the four great families could dominate the Youzhou City, they were nothing in front of them. There was no need for them to give them face.
Hearing this, The Wang Family Patriarch smiled awkwardly and said, "There's a problem with the Spring of Life. We can't hand over the Water of Life either. If you don't believe me, we can bring you all to the Spring of Life to retrieve the Water of Life in three months! "
This...
Are the four great clans crazy!?
They actually wanted to publicly announce the location of the Spring of Life!?
The sects who were unaware were naturally very surprised. However, most of the sects already knew the location of the Spring of Life. Therefore, they weren't very surprised.
The Wang Family Patriarch looked at the people from the various large sects and said meaningfully, "Our clan elder said that the location of the Spring of Life isn't a secret anymore. There's no need to keep it a secret anymore!"
Hearing this, those sects who knew the location of the Spring of Life looked at each other.
They didn't expect that the four major families already knew the location of the Spring of Life. Then, could these three months be a delaying tactic?
Thinking of this, Xu Tianchong raised his brows and asked, "Since you want to bring us to the Spring of Life, why not now? Why do you want us to wait for three months?"
"This is the meaning of the clan elder. As for what exactly happened, we don't know."
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, the Wang Family Patriarch said. "But it's only three months' time. I think that everyone should not be short of these three months' time!"
To ordinary people, three months might be a long time, but to cultivators, three months was nothing, but they were still the Ten Great Sects.
They had the right to reject waiting!
Hearing the Wang Family Patriarch's words, everyone looked at Xu Tianchong, the Treasure Pavilion's first lady, the Medicine Sect, and the Void Sect's Elder. Although their status was equal in the ten great sects, the people who came from the four great sects had a prominent status. Naturally, they would be the ones to make the decision.
"What do you think?"
Xu Tianchong looked at the people in charge of the three sects unhurriedly and asked what they meant.
"I don't care. I can still afford to wait for three months."
The person in charge of the Medicine Sect said directly.
After a moment of silence, the person in charge of the Empty Sect also nodded and said: "I have no problem as well."
"What about Gongsun first lady?"
At this moment, Xu Tianchong looked at the first lady of the Treasure Pavilion.
The first lady of the Treasure Pavilion had the same surname as Gongsun. Its name was Bao. Gongsun first lady didn't like this name, but she had no way to oppose it. However, she did not like to hear someone call her full name. Therefore, most people would call her Gongsun first lady when they called her.
"Since all of you have agreed, then I can't refuse either. Let's do it for three months."
The corner of Gongsun first lady's mouth curled up slightly as he gave Xu Tianchong a meaningful glance.
She had made a deal with Xu Tianchong in private.
She knew that Xu Tianchong was very precious to his daughter. Coincidentally, Xu Tianchong's daughter was seriously ill and needed an extremely precious herb. She was the only one who had this herb. She believed that Xu Tianchong would definitely submit to her in order to save her daughter. Therefore, she trusted Xu Tianchong very much.
Hearing this, Xu Tianchong also smiled and said: "Since everyone has agreed, then let's wait for another three months. Three months later, we will personally go and see this Spring of Life."
After the important figures had spoken, the emissaries of the other sects had nothing to say. At most, they were just a small Elder of their respective sects. In terms of identity and strength, they couldn't be compared to Xu Tianchong and the others. At this moment, Xu Tianchong was already giving them face by asking them a question.
"If that's the case, I'll see you in three months' time, Spring of Life!"
Xu Tianchong looked at the patriarchs of the four great families, and a cold expression emerged on his face. He continued, "What if you still can't take out the Water of Life in three months' time?"
"Everyone, please rest assured. If we can't fulfill our promise after three months, then the four families will be at your disposal." The Wang Family Head patted his chest and promised.
"The same goes for us!"
The other three families' Patriarchs also nodded in agreement.
Since the other side had already said so much, Xu Tianchong and the others naturally had no need to continue.
Just like that, the 'confession' that should have ended today was postponed to three months later.
After leaving the desolate mountain, Xu Tianchong and Lin Xiao returned to their residence at the fastest speed possible.
As soon as they returned, Xu Tianchong impatiently asked, "Nephew Lin, what do you think? Why do you think the four families are doing this?"
"Drag for time!"
Lin Xiao said affirmatively, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes. "But they only delayed for three months. It seems that there is no need for this. After all, three months is too short. What can we do?"
"I think so too."
Xu Tianchong nodded, his eyes full of doubt.
"I thought of something!"
A thought flashed through Lin Xiao's mind when he heard this. He said with some excitement, "I got a piece of news from a channel. The four families are likely to use Spring of Lifes to nourish a treasure over the years. I'm guessing that in three months, this treasure will be successfully nurtured. If that treasure matures, it might be a threat to us! "
This...
Xu Tianchong thought for a long time and said with a frown," A treasure that can pose a threat to us, I think of a possibility... "
"What possibility?"
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door. "Sect Master Xu, I came uninvited. I hope you don't mind."
At the same time, a graceful figure appeared in front of Xu Tianchong and Lin Xiao.
