The city Lord of windthunder city had already stated his conditions. How the situation would develop would be up to Tang Zhen's choice.
In fact, even if Tang Zhen agreed to pay the price, the other party might not tell Tang Zhen the information that he wanted to know as promised.
These guys were cunning and not as easy to talk to as they seemed on the surface. If they found an opportunity, they would probably swallow him whole.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was an uninvited evil guest in the eyes of the martial artists of wind Thunder City. Perhaps, they had already thought of killing him.
This was an inevitable result. When Tang Zhen took action to subdue the pursuers, it meant that the conflict would continue to intensify.
If he wanted to get accurate information, a fight was inevitable. He had to let the other party know that perfunctory means would not solve the problem.
