He hadn't expected a small family like the Wu family to achieve such a feat. After all, in the early days, the Wu family was no match for the Feng family.
The reason the Wu family dared to disregard the Feng family in recent years was entirely due to their allegiance to the Song family, the most prominent family in the Sun Base.
Meanwhile, the Su family sought to ally with the Feng family to counter the Song family. In short, the relationships within the Sun Base were far more intricate than anyone imagined.
Now that both the Feng and Wu families had suffered heavy losses, their only option to leave this place safely was to hand over a certain amount of benefits to the Su family.
Only then could they receive the Su family's protection and depart from this secret realm unharmed.
Otherwise, their desire to leave this place would be nothing but a pipe dream. Feng Tianyang did not dare to hesitate for a moment.
He went directly to the Su family's camp and spoke frankly to the Su family's eldest daughter, Su Xue:
"We wish to leave this place safely. What are the Su family's intentions?"
Su Xue did not rush to answer Feng Tianyang. Feng Tianyang knew that due to Feng Tianyi's actions, their alliance with the Su family had reached a point of irreconcilable conflict.
Because of this, obtaining the Su family's protection would be an extremely difficult matter.
To put it bluntly, it was highly probable that the Su family currently wished to eliminate them. If the Su family were to eliminate them, it would be an extremely tempting prospect for the Su family.
After all, this would greatly weaken the Feng family's strength. Once the Feng family's strength was diminished, the Su family could then consider annexing them.
Therefore, Feng Tianyang waited, waiting for the Su family to reveal their stance. If the Su family truly intended to annex the Feng family,
Then the only course of action for them would be to use their lives to strike at the Su family's power as much as possible.
Even if they ultimately could not defeat the Su family's might, they had to make the Su family pay a heavy price. This was what they should do in the end.
In reality, Feng Tianyang's heart was already in his throat. He did not know what choice this woman before him would make.
Although he was known as a madman, that was merely to intimidate others.
After all, Feng Tianyang was not truly mad and naturally would not wish to become a genuine madman.
At this moment, Su Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, giving him a look of understanding. Finally, Su Xue said coldly,
"How do you think you can leave this place? If you believe you can leave simply by talking, have you not considered all the issues too simplistically?"
Feng Tianyang remained silent for a long time before stating his bottom line:
"We are willing to exchange fifty percent of what we have obtained for a path to survival."
It was worth noting that the Feng family had gained quite a lot this time. Fifty percent was already an immense price, yet Su Xue remained unmoved by such a proposition.
Thus, Feng Tianyang could only increase his offer once more:
"Eighty percent..."
This was arguably Feng Tianyang's limit. Anything exceeding eighty percent would be tantamount to having nothing.
How could he account for the lives lost?
Especially since they had lost an heir this time, he would likely face punishment upon his return.
If he returned with nothing, it was evident that even the patriarch would be unable to protect him.
However, to his surprise, Su Xue remained unmoved. This situation immediately made Feng Tianyang wonder if Su Xue had lost her mind.
Otherwise, how could she remain unmoved after he had presented such an offer?
Finally, Feng Tianyang, somewhat enraged, roared,
"What is it you want? You don't mean to take everything we have, do you? Woman, have you gone mad? Do you know the consequences such a demand would bring you?"
But Su Xue before him slowly shook her head and said indifferently,
"I do not know my fate, nor do I know the consequences. However, I do know that if you do not present a price that satisfies me, then you will never leave this secret realm."
Finally, Feng Tianyang fell silent. He knew that there seemed to be no room for negotiation in this matter. Otherwise, the other party would not be making such an exorbitant demand, nor would they be so certain that he would not dare to walk away.
The other party had him completely cornered, precisely because they had grasped that he would inevitably comply with their demands.
Feng Tianyang knew that in this matter, no matter how eloquent he was, no matter what methods he employed,
In the end, Feng Tianyang could only sigh helplessly and obediently hand over all his gains.
Feng Tianyang finally compromised helplessly and said,
"Congratulations, you have obtained what you desired. However, I also hope you will honor your promise, otherwise, you know what fate awaits you."
Su Xue nodded with a smile:
"Naturally. Since I promised to provide you with protection, I will not go back on my word. Congratulations on making the right decision. After all, as long as the green hills remain, there will be firewood to burn. I believe Elder Feng Tianyang understands this principle, do you not?"
What was originally a simple matter, what was originally a simple statement,
Now sounded so jarring to Feng Tianyang's ears.
A cold smile played on Feng Tianyang's lips. He believed that one day the Feng family would have its revenge. As the saying goes, fortune turns in cycles, and heaven spares no one.
He, Feng Tianyang, was determined to see how long the Su family could remain so arrogant. Furthermore, to put it bluntly, the Song family, the most powerful entity in the Sun Base, considered the Su family a thorn in their side, eager to remove them.
Therefore, the Su family's current predicament was far more dangerous than they imagined. It was just that short-sighted individuals like Su Xue failed to grasp their current situation.
After Feng Tianyang left, the Wu family soon found Su Xue. The conditions presented by the Wu family to Su Xue were equally straightforward.
That is, they handed over everything they had obtained to Su Xue, merely asking to leave this place safely.
Who could have imagined that Su Xue and the Su family would instantly become the biggest winners of this secret realm exploration?
Ye Ningze watched the arrival and departure of the two individuals. Finally, Ye Ningze approached Su Xue, cupped his hands, and said,
"Congratulations to the eldest daughter of the Su family for making such a substantial profit this time."
But Su Xue revealed a smile and replied,
"Don't forget, half of all the profits just made belongs to you."
