772 Death Compensation (1/2)
When Happy personally led the Mu Clan members and Wind Assault Tower members to receive all the Mu Clan members who died and were revived in the Guanlin Temples in Yangzhou City, due to how the Towering Palace member had disappeared without a trace, the areas nearby were considered to be peaceful, and countless martial artists just watched by the side.
As time passed, a saying quickly spread through Yangzhou City!
The market and restaurants were always the places where news travelled rather quickly. Quite a number of people chatted with each other there.
”Did you hear? Mu Clan lost nearly four thousand people this time, and Happy gave a compensation of nearly ten billion. Each person also obtained two million taels of silver—”
”Your information isn't the full version, you know?”
There were all sorts of people gathered around a table in the restaurant, and sunflower seed shells as well as spit flew all over the place.
”Mu Clan is rich and has great style. They also take care of their subordinates. This time, aside from receiving two million taels of silver, those who died also get a piece of equipment.”
”Yup.”
”I heard that those twenty or so people who are more unfortunate received a blessing in disguise. All of them received an Illusion Life and Death Pill. You know, the thing that's worth cities? Whew, that's Illusion Life and Death Pills we're talking about, and they're treasures that many sect leaders spend a large sum of money to buy so that they can protect themselves, but Happy actually used it on normal Mu Clan members.”
”That's what we call boldness!”
”True that… Or else, they won't be giving priority to those who died to use the clan prisons in all branches, you know? I say, within less than a month, this group of people's strength will return to their original state.”
”That's what I think so too.”
”What's Towering Palace doing?”
”...Heh, don't mention them. Once they shifted their headquarters, they no longer have a place to stand in Yangzhou. I heard that Musical Note ordered all Towering Palace members to leave Yangzhou and head to nearby cities and branches.”
”This time, Towering Palace can be considered to have suffered a big fall.”
Someone at the table laughed and said, ”That's right. Tens of thousands of people worked together with Class One Hall and some foreign martial artists, but they didn't manage to get rid of all the elites in Mu Clan's branch in Yangzhou. Instead, they turned the tables around and got rid of their headquarters, causing them to lose tens of thousands of men…”
”Do you know the precise number?”
”I think it's around thirty thousand.”
”They're in a miserable state this time.”
”Mu Clan got rid of all the worries within those Mu Clan members who died, you know? I wonder what Towering Palace will do as a countermeasure.”
The group of people by the table were stunned by this news.
”Logically speaking, because of Clear Music's mistake in her plan, Towering Palace's status plummeted to the ground, and a large group of Towering Palace members died. She should have something to say about this and compensate the losses of her palace members who died for her.”
Someone else explained. ”You're right, but how is she supposed to compensate them?”
”This time, Mu Clan lost nearly four thousand people, while Towering Palace lost nearly thirty thousand, that's nearly ten times the difference. Besides, they suffered a lot of sacrifices when they surrounded Mu Clan. Mu Clan could obtain a batch of equipment automatically from the people they killed during the defense, but Towering Palace will lose their equipment straight away when they die. Besides, what about those at the south? They also lost tens of thousands of people over there as well. Can Towering Palace even compensate those losses?”
”That's true, too.”
A man with a full beard smacked his lips. ”Mu Clan has set the standard right up at two million, and Towering Palace is also a top-class sect. If they really try to compensate for it, they will lose all their money based on this standard! They lost around sixty thousand to seventy thousand men, and they will have to compensate around one hundred billion… If we add equipment into the mix, that number will be even higher.”
”But they can't just provide no compensation,” someone mentioned.
”That's right!”
”They fought for their sect as well, and Towering Palace is even the ones who took the initiative to attack. Mu Clan had to passively get through this disaster, and Mu Clan still compensated their members fully. But Towering Palace isn't doing anything about it. I heard that someone asked Towering Palace's higher-ups at that time about whether they will receive any compensation, and in the end, he was scolded by a few elders.”
