For Lu Yuan, being able to hold his nose and agree to the peace-seeking terms of the Five Poisons Sect was already a great concession.
To put it bluntly, without their Holy Maiden, what did they count for, considering the strength of the Five Poisons Sect at this moment?
Merely just over thirty thousand civilian-workers-like soldiers, now stranded and besieged in a small county area.
This level of strength, in contrast to Lu Yuan's situation, possessing a hundred thousand soldiers, and with Miao soldiers and militia numbering over a hundred thousand under his command, was no longer on the same level.
The Five Poisons Sect thought they were in a position to negotiate terms with Lu Yuan, but in reality, this was just their wishful thinking.
If it weren't for Lan Cai'er's involvement, these remnants would have been eliminated long ago.
But unfortunately.
They do have Lan Cai'er, and they do have an Inborn Grandmaster in their ranks.
