“I want the Pure Water Profound Pill and the Pure Water Xuan Niu.’

Lu Yuan said without concealing his intentions, “As long as you hand over these two items, I can let go of the five people I just captured. I can even release a portion of the captured Seven Star Sect disciples in the city.

With these people, the Seven Star Sect can still preserve their legacy even if they go to another country.”

It is not impossible to become a first-class sect again in the future if the opportunity arises.

How about it?

Are these conditions enough for me to get what I want?”

Lu Yuan laid out his terms.

Releasing a group of Seven Star Sect elders and disciples meant nothing to him, and there was no concern about letting the tiger return to the mountain.

At their peak, the Seven Star Sect was defeated by him quickly and decisively, without any power to fight back.

Could a group of homeless dogs he let go, even if they went to a foreign land, find a foothold and survive?

Even if they were incredibly lucky and managed to recover their foundation, they would only become an ordinary first-class sect at best.

By that time, Lu Yuan will have already become an innate expert, or even started cultivation. He would not worry about ordinary martial artists from Jianghu.

Qiao Xiuyuan, on the other hand, showed no great surprise at these terms.

He had foreseen this situation when the other party captured him without killing him.

But for him to use the sect’s legacy treasure to save his fellow disciples was not an easy decision, even at this moment.

Therefore, Qiao Xiuyuan’s face alternated between dark clouds and sunshine, and he hesitated to respond.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Yuan decided to push harder, and said, “Master Qiao thinks carefully. Even if you don’t say anything, I still have many elders and true disciples from your sect in my hands. Under strict questioning, some will speak.

Even if they don’t know the exact location of the treasure, they will know some clues, and searching one by one, the treasure will still fall into my hands – it just takes some time.

I know that you may still have one or two direct disciples hidden outside, hoping that they can open the treasure and revive the sect.

But with me watching, do you really think these people can successfully open the treasure?

Even if they can, can they really grow smoothly and re-establish the Seven Star Sect?

I don’t dare say much about other things, but I can leave a word here: anyone who dares to establish a sect under the name of the Seven Star Sect must have my full strength to eliminate them.

I’m only thirty years old now and already at the peak of the first class. It’s not difficult to break through to the innate realm in this life.

Master Qiao should know what it means to be the enemy of an innate expert.” At these implicitly threatening words, Qiao Xiuyuan’s face changed instantly.

Lu Yuan had hit the nail on the head: before being surrounded in Luyang City, Qiao Xiuyuan had indeed arranged for two of his disciples to leave the city and hide.

The purpose was so that if he were defeated here, they could go and open the sect’s treasure, using its wealth and riches to revive the sect.

But Lu Yuan’s words shattered his illusions.

He was right.

With Lu Yuan watching, it was questionable whether his two disciples could successfully open the treasure. Moreover, even if they obtained the treasure, it was unknown whether they could evade his pursuit.

With a future innate expert watching, the hope of reviving the sect was slim to none.

Realizing this, the hesitant Qiao Xiuyuan finally spoke, “Can you promise to let go of my sect’s people if I hand over the treasure?”

Lu Yuan nodded, “To me, the only value of your Seven Star Sect is the Pure Water Profound Pill and the Pure Water Xuan Niu. Once I get these two items, what use would the rest of your disciples be to me?

As for revenge.

Those disciples who know better should understand that after surviving, they should stay far away from me, not seeking trouble with an innate expert.”

Hearing these extremely confident and somewhat contemptuous words, Qiao Xiuyuan did not find them irritating. Instead, he felt reassured.

Because he knew that the other party genuinely did not consider the Seven Star Sect as a challenge, so there was no possibility of going back on his word.

With this confirmation, Qiao Xiuyuan reluctantly smiled, “Our sect’s treasure is hidden in three places, each of which is located in…”

Finally, Qiao Xiuyuan gave up resistance and chose to surrender.

A moment later.

Lu Yuan had people carry out the lifeless Qiao Xiuyuan and called for Zhou Qing to inform him of the locations of the hidden treasures he had just learned from Qiao Xiuyuan, and let him lead the search.

Zhou Qing was already quite familiar with opening sect treasures, so it was suitable to let him do it.

With the negotiations concluded, the conflict inside the city eventually came to an end.

Most people surrendered, and only a few die-hard Seven Star Sect members could not resist the relentless onslaught of the army.

After causing a disturbance in the city, they were quickly suppressed.

Each captive was identified. Members who originally belonged to the local residents and had weak ties with the Seven Star Sect were released on the spot after being screened, and allowed to return home.

A few hundred direct descendants of the Seven Star Sect were detained and included in the Vanguard Army, serving as cannon fodder.

Lu Yuan arranged for two camps of soldiers to maintain order in the city and then sent for Sun Siwen.

His friend, who had become the Prefect of Luyang City, could finally return to his office and no longer had to work in exile.

Meanwhile, as he waited for Sun Siwen, Lu Yuan sent people to investigate the seized assets in the city.

The Seven Star Sect had plundered a lot in the city during the rebellion, killing many wealthy families and confiscating tons of wealth.

Now that Lu Yuan had killed them back, all this money had fallen into his hands, including the original assets of the Seven Star Sect, which had also been confiscated and forfeited.

Although it was only a rough count, according to the current reports, over a million taels of assets had been verified in the city, mostly in current silver.

Taking into account the previous gains, Lu Yuan obtained more than a million taels in silver alone from quelling the Seven Star Sect’s uprising. If one includes various antiques, houses and shops, and fields and estates, the value would be close to four or five million taels.

After the chaos, most of the wealth of Luyang Prefecture was concentrated in his hands.

Indeed, as the old saying goes, as long as there is a war, one won’t worry about getting rich, and the ancients do not deceive me.

Right as Lu Yuan was happily counting his spoils, Zhou Qing, who had been gone for several days, returned.

“Master, during my trip, I opened two Seven Star Sect treasures and obtained seventeen Pure Water Profound Pills, as well as 110,000 taels of gold and silver.”

Zhou Qing returned with a jade box in his hands and a happy smile on his face, “I also found the Pure Water Xuan Niu. However, this Divine Blood Variant cannot leave Mount Yuanluo. I have ordered someone to guard the original location of the Seven Star Sect, and you can check it anytime.”

With one piece of good news after another, Lu Yuan was in high spirits..
