The day after the Jin Family fell.
The current patriarchs of the Yuan, Lu, Gu, and Wu clans immediately rushed to Thunder Accumulation Mountain with their men. They didn't come to condemn anyone, but to beg for mercy.
The clean sweep that had flattened Thunder Accumulation Mountain hadn't just destroyed the Jin Clan; it had also broken the backbones of the other four clans.
Only two paths lay before them:
First, beg for forgiveness and a chance to survive.
Second, be utterly annihilated, just like the Jin Clan.
Of course.
Wanting to live naturally came at a price.
The four clans not only had to withdraw completely from Shuzhou, but also had to hand over 1,500,000 Spirit Stones and their clan's Cultivation Techniques as payment for their lives. This number of Spirit Stones was decided upon by Chen Che, Meng Qianxun, and Chen Yin after discussing what they had plundered from Thunder Accumulation Mountain.
