At this moment, that man clenched his fist when he realized that he had no chance of bargaining at all.
Fight him? If he was so stupid, he wouldn't have raised over fifty peak-level cultivators in his continent. He knows when to retreat and when to charge. But, at this moment, he had no retreat and no way to charge.
The only way is to surrender. Something he has done but not to this extreme. The more he thinks about it, the confused he gets. Because for him, this wasn't actually a problem. Because he doesn't mind being someone's subordinate but he doesn't want his entire continent to become someone's continent.
He takes a deep breath and asks "If one day, one of my people or some of my people decides to attack your continent without my consent. How will you deal with them? Will you blame our entire continent or only them?"
