Lin Chu was much more reasonable than Ning Lau. He knew, like I did, that Crystal Phoenix Sect wasn't the only nearby sect Purple Dragon Sect had to worry about.
Our sect was weakened by the war and recent unrest, and it was only a matter of time until someone else tried to sink their teeth into our territories.
Of course, we had the wraiths, but they didn't know it.
It was best for Lin Chu to give Crystal Phoenix Sect terms it would agree with.
On the other hand, Crystal Phoenix Sect wanted to not be exterminated, and with Lin Kwan staring ominously from behind her son's shoulder, they were pressed to agree with a lot of things.
In the end, the treaty was merciful to the Crystal Phoenix Sect and beneficial to Purple Dragon Sect.
They were forced to pay massive reparations to us in money, resources, and territories; however, the core territories of the Crystal Phoenix Sect were left alone.
