Chapter 281: Differences (Third update!)
"Mie family leader, this is not a question of rewards. Before this, you didn't mention that the other party had so many martial arts grandmasters. Do you understand what this implies..." A grandmaster spoke hesitantly.
"If you can eliminate five of the opponent's martial arts grandmasters, I can triple the rewards. If you can wipe out all ten of them, I can quintuple the rewards." Witnessing his family members and elite subordinates being slaughtered by Lin Yun's party, the Mie family leader's heart bled. He gritted his teeth and repeated resolutely.
The original rewards for these martial arts grandmasters were 1.3 billion, five times that was over 6 billion.
It was a significant payout, especially after the Mie family had already lost over 30 billion worth of resources. However, considering those losses, another 6 billion seemed trivial.
As long as they could slay all these people.
The Mie family leader could not be clearer about the terror wielded by nine martial arts grandmasters.
Along with the grandmaster from Qingyun Company who had fallen earlier, now there had been ten grandmasters on the other side.
Ten grandmasters...anywhere in the world, this was an extremely formidable force.
If he had known that Qingyun Company had ten martial arts grandmasters backing it, he probably wouldn't have let his family make a move against them.
Now, compared to the reward of over 6 billion, he was more worried that they wouldn't be able to annihilate all the grandmasters from the other side.

"Just by eliminating five of them, the reward triples? And if we kill all of them, the reward quintuples?" Listening to the Mie family leader, some of the grandmasters' eyes lit up.
However, a few grandmasters frowned. This sounded easy, but these were martial arts grandmasters. How easy would it be to eliminate them?
On top of that, they had to kill five of them?
Moreover, on their side, they only had seven martial arts grandmasters. But the other party had nine!
Some of the grandmasters looked up at Wei Donglai.
Now, the key was on Wei Donglai. Only if he was willing to take the lead and attack, was there any hope of their dealing with, even killing, the opponents. If Wei Donglai didn't act, they would do better to leave or stand by and observe. Money was not an issue.
Nine martial arts grandmasters were not to be underestimated. Money was indeed good, but they had to be alive to spend it.
"Mie family leader, the glowing shield on them, could it be the legendary Super Energy Protection Shield..." At this moment, Wei Donglai pondered.
"Master Wei arrived late, I haven't had the time to tell you about it. The shield on them is indeed the legendary Super Energy Protection Shield. The country only developed the technology a few years ago. It's very rare. I don't know where they got it from. According to our Mie family's information, this Super Energy Protection Shield cannot block a martial artist's inner strength.
I assure you..." The Mie family leader quickly explained, patting his forehead.
"Furthermore, grandmasters, don't worry, we in the Mie family have other preparations, including members from Sky Group... and, as long as the death count reaches the numbers I just mentioned, regardless of who kills them, I will pay the rewards accordingly. If anyone of you personally eliminates an enemy, our Mie family will give extra rewards..." The Mie family leader continued.
"If that's the case, there's no problem." Wei Donglai spoke indifferently, seeming to overlook the Mie family leader's latter remarks.
The Sky Group, a prominent organization consisting of martial artists of their caliber, was said to only allow martial arts grandmasters who had reached the Huajin realm to be formal members.
However, Wei Donglai was unfazed. As a grandmaster at the latter stage of the Huajin realm, his strength far exceeded that of average grandmasters. He held a great status in the martial arts world, with more than a few grandmasters under his Baji Sect. He had a strong background and did not particularly care about this organization.
Under usual circumstances, the average members of this organization had to show him respect.
"Sky Group..."
However, the ordinary grandmasters couldn't disregard the Sky Group as Wei Donglai did. Their eyes lit up.
It turned out, on their side, besides the seven martial arts grandmasters, there were also members of the Sky Group.
Now that Wei Donglai was willing to lead them into combat, they were assured.
Actually, upon hearing Sky Group, a hint of envy flashed through the eyes of these ordinary grandmasters.
The entry-level standard for a Sky Group member was to be a martial arts grandmaster who had reached the Huajin realm. Still, it didn't mean every martial arts grandmaster at the Huajin level could join the Sky Group. Every member of the Sky Group had the right to oversee the martial arts world, and they held a rather high status.
Unfortunately, they had no way of joining, as they didn't have the connections. Contemplating this, they looked at Wei Donglai enviously.
It was known to them that the Sky Group had invited Wei Donglai in the past, but he had turned it down.
They were all grandmasters, but this was the difference.
"Let's go. Let's see how powerful these nine martial arts grandmasters really are. Let's also find out who they are..." At this moment, Wei Donglai dashed towards Lin Yun and his party, his movements reminiscent of a swift shadow. He spoke lightly.
Now that he knew that the Super Energy Protection Shield was unable to resist a martial artist's inner strength, he didn't have much to worry about. He had analyzed that these nine people had only reached the Initial Stage of Dark Strength.
The power of their hot weapons was indeed vast. However, how useful would their intermittent attacks be against martial arts grandmasters?
Extremely powerful hot weapons were useless if they missed their target. This was precisely why the Mie family leader highly valued these martial arts grandmasters.
"After not seeing each other for five years, Master Wei's agility has improved!"
"Haha! Brother Wei has moved. How can we fall behind?"
"Follow Master Wei and kill them all!"
The martial arts grandmasters around the Mie family executives laughed heartily, speaking as they did.
Between laughs, they dashed towards Lin Yun and his party. Each one of them moved extremely fast.
"My master has taken action! This is a battle between over a dozen grandmasters!" An excited Zhong Nan exclaimed.
A battle between a dozen or so grandmasters was historical, and he was witnessing it in-person. One of the most formidable of these was his master. What an experience, what knowledge, what honor!
"I don't know... if they can hold on..." Yan Yun'er's heart tightened. She bit her lip lightly, thinking to herself.
He appeared to be only a year or two older than her, yet he was at the Initial Stage of Dark Strength. He could lead nine martial arts grandmasters, making such confident declarations and committing such bold actions. Most importantly... he was very handsome and possessed a mysteriousness that was extremely enticing.
She did not know why, but even though he was clearly her master's adversary, she did not want him to come to harm.
"Finally taking action, huh? What incredible speed!" At this moment, Lin Yun also looked towards Wei Donglai, inhaling deeply.
