Chapter 307: Chapter 293: Scion of a Prestigious Clan

“Wow! Younger Brother Xiong, you’re still alive, that’s great! Where did you go just now? How did you get separated? You didn’t even go down to that Profound Iron Mine, I’ve never seen so much Profound Iron Ore in my life.”

Brother Tongkuai dashed over, wrapping an arm around Wang Wu like they were longtime friends, and over there came Brother Five Claws.

“How about it, Younger Brother Xiong, from now on you’re one of us, the Southern Wilderness Demon Race. This city before you, impressive, right? It’s the largest royal city in the Southern Wilderness, co-built by the South Sea Demon Race and our Southern Wilderness Demon Race, including this large Teleportation Array, no less than those of the Human Race. There are only five such large Teleportation Arrays across the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses, and we have one here, capable of transporting up to a hundred thousand miles away. For instance, without this Teleportation Array, we wouldn’t have had such a victory this time!”

“Also, based on the merits you earned this time, it’s enough to buy an estate in this royal city. When that time comes, I’ll take you…”

“Get lost, with the merits Younger Brother Xiong achieved today, does he need to buy an estate here? Wouldn’t it be more satisfying to take a mountain and become king? Younger Brother Xiong, let me introduce myself, I’m Niu Tizi!”

“Come, come, come, Younger Brother Xiong, I’ve heard a lot about you, meeting you today, it’s been a pleasure working together. My name is Hu Da Bian!”

In the blink of an eye, a group of Great Demons surrounded Wang Wu, their enthusiasm leaving him at a loss.

Until Old Turtle’s hoarse voice sounded.

“All Demon Races participating from the Southern Wilderness, step up immediately for registration, to determine the war contributions. Additionally, any Profound Iron Ore, Profound Iron Blocks, and Profound Iron Crystals extracted or seized from the Profound Iron Mine, those of Fifth Grade and below, must be fully turned over!”

“Fourth-Grade Demons must turn over ninety percent!”

“Third-Grade Demons must turn over eighty percent!”

“Second-Grade Demons must turn over fifty percent!”

“All seizures must be distributed proportionally according to the pre-discussed terms with the alliance. Of course, the South Sea Alliance will do the same. Moreover, additional rewards will be given after determining war contributions!”

“And before this matter concludes, no demons or their possessions may leave this Grand Array platform. Severe penalties for those who secretly stash Profound Iron!”

Damn!

Wang Wu was stunned to hear this, so he has to turn over eighty percent of the Profound Iron he brought back?

But there seems to be no choice, as this is the rule of group warfare. This victory was achieved through the collective effort of the entire system.

For instance, without the four Demon Emperors, without the sacrifice of millions of demons, could he have sneaked in and cut out so much Profound Iron by himself?

He would’ve already been made into a corpse and buried with General Xuelang.

“All demons step forward in order, with Second-Grades leading by example. I shall go first!”

As he spoke, Old Turtle took out a peculiar large pot, placing it on the ground, and beams of golden light shot up, converging at a single point, like a solar concentrator.

Then, it threw out another similar large pot, tossing it into the air, also emitting golden light, still converging with the one below.

Following that, Old Turtle jumped in, and immediately, the thousands of storage pouches it carried lit up with spiritual light, looking just like the leader of a beggar clan with a thousand bags!

“Eyes wide open, no one think about trying anything sneaky. Follow the rules! We measured everyone before we set out, don’t argue to avoid hurting friendships!”

Next, Old Turtle threw out its turtle shell, turning into a turtle shell just a few meters wide, then began pulling out Profound Iron Ore, emptying thousands of storage pouches without filling its shell.

With Old Turtle setting an example, the three Second-Grade Great Demons had nothing to say, obediently tossing out half of their seized Profound Iron Ore or Profound Iron Blocks, only then were they allowed to leave.

Moreover, it seems the amount of seized Profound Iron does not count towards war contributions.

So these Second-Grade Great Demons just left directly, as only the Left Demon Emperor could determine their merits given their status.

Next were the Third-Grade Great Demons, each of them, even if they hid their storage pouches in their bellies, they’d be illuminated and shown, then obediently turn over eighty percent.

It quickly came to Wang Wu’s turn, and he didn’t plan on pulling any tricks. If discovered, he’d obediently turn it over.

His storage pouches were hidden in his bear fur, not showing on the outside.

However, he couldn’t guarantee anything, even if he activated the top-level Passive Concealment.

But just as he was about to jump into the large pot, Old Turtle called him.

“Good grandson, you’re different. You joined halfway, and before setting out, we didn’t measure the amount of Profound Iron in your storage pouches, so we can’t calculate which is originally yours and which was acquired on the battlefield. So, the Left Demon Emperor has instructed me in advance, given your excellent performance on the battlefield, you don’t have to come in. Just do the right thing, turn over eighty percent based on the amount you got from the Profound Iron Mine this time!”

There’s such a thing?

Wang Wu was taken aback, telling me to do the right thing, well then, I’ll be very “right.”

“Hey, Old Turtle, Younger Brother Xiong never went to the Profound Iron Mine. How can he do the ’right thing’ for you?” Brother Tongkuai directly spoke up in his defense over there.

Brother Five Claws and a group of familiar and unfamiliar Great Demons all spoke up. In this battle, although Younger Brother Xiong wasn’t the first to break through the city gate, demons have their own scales. Without our Younger Brother Xiong’s Ice Mountain Giant Bear, would things have gone so smoothly? Or else we’d be missing dozens more here today!

“Silence! Am I not fair? This battle was not the credit of just one Demon Race, so fairness must be ensured! Wang Wu, tell me, you didn’t go to the Profound Iron Mine, so where did you go? I summoned you dozens of times, and you never responded!”

Old Turtle shouted, fairness is most important, as that’s the basic principle a group can sustain itself on!

You can say it’s distribution according to labor, the more you work, the more you earn, so a Second-Grade Great Demon can keep half, and a Third-Grade Great Demon can keep twenty percent, that’s what they deserve, but beyond that, we must be clear, there are millions of eyes watching.

Wang Wu nodded, then directly took General Xuelang’s petrified body out of a storage pouch.

He placed it on the ground carefully, and kindly wiped away the dust on it, then cupped his hands, “Sorry to cause a laugh, the reason I left the team was to search for my wife’s petrified body. Fortunately, fortunately, I finally found it, I must thank everyone for lending me a helping hand.”

Wang Wu bowed deeply to the surrounding crowd, this was the truth, there’s nothing to be said.

When he straightened up again, the surroundings were filled with sighs, the name Eagle Eye and Wolf’s Glance was still notably famous in the South Wilderness.

Who wouldn’t feel regret for General Xuelang falling to this fate!

The old turtle also sighed, stepped forward and patted Wang Wu’s shoulder, “Don’t worry, good grandson, this wasn’t a mistake, the merits you established are evident to all, when the Left Demon Emperor returns, he will determine your battle contributions. However, are you sure you didn’t cut any Profound Iron or anything?”

“There is still some, but the situation was urgent, I was anxious and didn’t dare to be greedy.”

“Alright, next one!” The old turtle didn’t fuss anymore, it wasn’t out to make things difficult, but it had to establish a fair image.

But actually, it didn’t believe it, how could anyone trust a little bear cub that could fool it into spinning circles.

Should we look under the pot?

But really, there’s no need, this Xiong Wu can now be considered a rising star in the Southern Wilderness Demon Race.

Then Wang Wu packed away General Xuelang’s petrified body, stepped back, and waited on the side for the determination of his battle merits.

After all the Third-Grade Great Demons finished handing over the Profound Iron they snatched, the Left Demon Emperor and the other two Demon Emperors of the South Sea Demon Race, along with the four Second-Grade Great Demons who stayed behind, returned.

They were really impressive, with a distance of hundreds of miles, they only took less than an hour to return.

At this time, all demon race members, whether they were from the South Wilderness or South Sea, all uniformly saluted, not daring to be negligent.

After the salute, one of the Demon Emperors of the South Sea spoke lightly:

“Daoist Xuanzhen, Big Brother, you can handle the following matters, I’m leaving!”

As soon as the words fell, the figure disappeared from where it had been, Wang Wu had some impression of this Demon Emperor, it had always been hidden in the dark, almost killing a Celestial Realm First-Grade Cultivator in a three-against-one.

Unexpectedly, this was a female Demon Emperor, but she was shrouded in a faint blood mist all over her body, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

“Daoist Xuanzhen, don’t blame me, my sister is naturally like this, and I can’t do anything about it.”

The South Sea Demon Emperor was a tall, imposing, and handsome young man, of course, young refers to appearance, in reality, this guy would have to be at least a Thousand-Year-Old Demon.

And the Left Demon Emperor was a graceful, composed middle-aged man with three wispy beards, profound gaze, and extraordinary demeanor, Wang Wu took a look from afar, then this old fellow turned his head, smilingly said, “Xiong Wu, come forward!”

“Swish!”

Countless gazes gathered over, Wang Wu smiled bitterly in his heart, what is this for, he has social anxiety, really, he never experienced something like this in two lives.

The memories and identity of an Earthling couldn’t make him talk freely and confidently.

Bracing himself, he walked over.

He could only comfort himself in heart, luckily I am a bear, so I won’t blush…

Ah, what am I thinking.

“Xiong Wu, don’t be so restrained, transform into human form, it’s not polite in front of the South Sea Divine Martial Demon Emperor!” the Left Demon Emperor said again.

Thus Wang Wu could only continue to brace himself, transforming into a burly, furry muscular man.

“Xiong Wu pays respects to the two Demon Emperors!”

“No need for excessive courtesy, Young Friend Xiong, in this battle you were truly magnificent, I couldn’t help but cheer for you three times while in high altitude, haha, the two old fellows from the Human Race seemed to have a grudge against you, attempting to scheme against you time and time again, my main self and Daoist Xuanzhen exerted all our efforts to hold them back, hahaha, you don’t know how awful their expressions were!”

The Divine Martial Demon Emperor laughed heartily, looking extremely delighted.

Then, the Left Demon Emperor also laughed and said, “Xiong Wu, in this battle, your performance was indeed commendable, so did you cultivate the Ice and Fire Spirit Pill? And then blend the Innate and Acquired, allowing the Ape King Skull and Fire Poison Remains to perfectly combine with your two Spirit Pills? Truly the offspring of a prestigious lineage, an unparalleled talent!”

This really was the discernment of a Demon Emperor! Detecting the reason with one glance!

But is it really good for you to praise and flatter like this?

Prestigious lineage?

What value does this prestigious lineage have!
