Chapter 277 – You Are Not Qualified
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Bai Yuexi was suspicious, she did not dare ask.
Facing Su Wen’s question, Bai Yuexi whispered, “We’ll be done in another five days.”
As she spoke, she moved a little closer to him.
Su Wen glanced at her.
This was a very special woman, but her motive was far too obvious.
Obviously, she only wanted Su Wen’s protection.
She only admired and thirsted for his power.
However, Su Wen did not care.
As an expert, he would naturally take his advantage of what he had.
In essence, strength, money, and looks were all objective conditions.
What was that saying again? Good looks were one in a thousand, and interesting souls were one in a million.
But then again, any man would prefer a good-looking person to an interesting soul who was 1.5 meters tall and yet weighed 150 pounds.
This was the reality.
Hence, Su Wen was also very puzzled. In those television dramas in his previous life, the male lead was always clearly very rich, but he was hell-bent on finding someone who did not love money to find true love.
Could true love not change at all?
Furthermore, could it be that not loving money meant that it was true love?
Pretentious.
He placed his hand on Bai Yuexi’s head and began rubbing it like he was petting a kitten.
“Lord, there are some people obstructing us!”
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the carriage.
Su Wen lifted the curtain and saw a large group of people in front of the group.
However, in this team, other than a large number of experts, there were about tens of thousands of Mountainous Rock Pigs!
Obviously, this was a team responsible for transporting mountain rock pigs.
The escorts were all tall, dark-skinned, and had shiny scales.
They were all from the Black Scale Tribe!
“Ask what happened.” Su Wen casually said.
A man from the White Demon Race walked out and the two sides began to negotiate.
After a moment, that man returned and reported, “Lord, these people want to travel with us.”
“Huh? Why?” Su Wen asked.
Generally speaking, the various tribes of the Demon Realm rarely cooperated with outsiders.
Trust between tribes was relatively low.
To put it bluntly, if the leading Heaven Rank expert on the White Demon Tribe’s side had been someone else instead of Su Wen, they might have already led their men to snatch the Mountainous Rock Pigs. Why would they even go together?
“They said that they just received news that a bandit group seemed to have arrived a few days ago. They are very strong and some teams have already been completely wiped out!”
The man explained to Su Wen.
Su Wen came to a realization. No wonder they were doing this.
Su Wen knew about the bandit groups. They were unique existences in the Demon Realm.
Although the Demon Realm was composed of various races, there was no lack of independent experts.
Some people, after becoming stronger, wanted to form a force. They could not wait to give birth to children and nurture them. Therefore, they choose to join forces with a group of demons, killing, plundering, and living happily.
A powerful bandit group could even destroy cities and uproot villages.
As the two of them conversed, someone suddenly walked over.
Su Wen noticed this fellow from the Black Scale Tribe walking over.
He was tall, and it was impossible to tell his age.
“This Lord of the Demonic Tribe! I am a descendant of the Black Scale Race. I request to accompany you. We are willing to offer you 1,000 middle-grade Demon Stones as compensation.”
The man bowed deeply.
His attitude was very respectful.
In fact, although the Black Scale Race was a subordinate race of the Demonic Tribe, it did not mean that all the Black Scale Race members had to lower their heads when they met them.
It also depended on the status of both parties.
Obviously, the other party had placed himself in a very low position.
“Give the Demon Stones first!” Su Wen said in a deep voice.
It had to be said that he had been quite poor recently!
With so many subordinates, they had to pay for food and lodging along the way.
As a currency, the Demon Realm Demon Stones were divided into four grades.
Low, medium, high and top grades.
Since the other party gave them money, Su Wen naturally did not mind bringing them along.
In any case, it was an ancestral tradition from his world to accept money and not have to do anything…
That person’s eyes flashed with joy.
He hurriedly took out the demon stones and handed them to Su Wen before leaving.
Su Wen returned to the carriage and the team slowly set off.
The two groups, one black and one white, were clearly separated.
The Black Scale Tribe member also returned to his camp. Someone immediately came forward to welcome him.
“Leader, how is it?”
“He agreed! Hehe, these idiots, let’s go with them first. If we encounter a bandit group, they can help us share some of the pressure and attract the bandits. If our journey is smooth, then when we leave, we’ll cut down these White Demon Tribe members!” The leader’s eyes flashed with a fierce light.
He had never planned to give Su Wen so many Demon Stones!
Obviously, these guys just wanted more manpower.
Furthermore, this leader had a 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivation.
However, there were still some Black Scale clansmen who said worriedly, “But there’s a Demonic Tribe member in that carriage.”
The leader of the Black Scale Race said disdainfully, “So what if he’s from the Demon Race? Look at the White Demon Race he’s leading. The highest cultivation among them is only at the 6th Grade of Earth Rank.
Even if his cultivation is high, having 9th Grade Earth Rank is already impressive. Among us, there are a total of 9th Grade Earth Ranks. Do you think I would want to travel with this trash? They’re just cannon fodder!”
“We’ll kill that Demonic Tribe member together when the time comes. As long as we make sure there’s no evidence, no one will care!”
He had actually planned it out quite well.
Everyone slowly continued forward.
The first day was relatively peaceful.
However, many Black Scale tribesmen had started to lay their eyes on the White Demon Tribe’s women…
“What are you doing?”
“Are you trying to take advantage?!”
Su Wen heard a commotion outside.
He walked out of the tent and saw that both sides were at each other’s throats, confronting each other.
Su Wen walked over and saw a White Demon Tribe girl standing on the spot with disheveled clothes. There were some wounds on her body as well as some Black Scale Tribe members.
“What happened?” Su Wen asked.
A man from the White Demon Tribe said angrily, “Reporting to my lord, my sister went to the toilet just now, but that Black Scale Tribe member followed behind with ill intentions! It’s all thanks to our timely arrival! This bastard actually said that my sister seduced him!”
Su Wen looked at his own people and then at the Black Scale Tribe.
The corner of his mouth curled into a smile.
At this moment, the leader of the Black Scale Tribe arrived.
The Black Scale Race man who was teasing the White Demon Tribe straightened his back even more and said indifferently, “That’s right. I was just looking at the scenery when she came over and took off her pants. If she’s not seducing me, then what is she doing?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the commander of the Black Scale Tribe was instantly furious and went forward to slap him!
Pa!
The sound was loud and forceful.
The Black Scale Race commander then turned around and smiled at Su Wen. “Lord, it’s my fault for not being strict. Now that something like this has happened, I’ll apologize to this lady and compensate her with 500 low-grade Demon Stones! Please accept it and let this matter pass.”
His attitude was extremely humble.
Unfortunately, Su Wen was never a magnanimous person.
He sneered and said indifferently, “Castrate him. Castrate him and we forget about this matter!”
Did he think that it could be so easily solved with he just gave the guy a slap? How could it be so easy?
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions changed drastically!
The Black Scale commander’s mind raced. Castration was definitely not an option.
In the end, if he couldn’t protect his own people now, it would definitely be a blow to his prestige.
He said in a deep voice, “Lord, please calm down. This time, we were in the wrong. I am willing to compensate with 1,000 mid-grade Demon Stones. This time, I will spare him. If there is a next time, I will definitely punish him according to the Lord’s instructions.”
Obviously, he wanted to maintain the peace.
Furthermore, to him, as long as he safely passed through the mountain range, he would snatch it back no matter how many demon stones he had given to Su Wen.
Actually, he was also very angry at the Black Scale Tribe member who caused trouble.
However, the atmosphere in the Demon Realm was like this. It was impossible to be reasonable, and it was normal to be protective.
If he could not protect his own leader, he would definitely be abandoned by his race.
Furthermore, he was only a commander. If he really castrated his tribesman and returned to the clan, he would definitely be punished.
“Milord,” he said in a low voice, “we have a Heaven Rank expert in our clan. Please give us some face and forget about this!”
When the White Demon tribe heard that there was a Heaven Rank expert in the enemy’s group, their expressions all changed.
The woman who was taken advantage of moved closer to Su Wen and whispered, “Lord, I’m fine…”
Su Wen tilted his head and looked at the person in front of him.
He sighed as his old memories came rushing back.
Pa!
Su Wen then slapped the commander as he coldly laughed, “B*stard, are you threatening me? I hate it when people threaten me the most!”
“What are you doing?”
Su Wen’s slap had poked a hornet’s nest.
All the Black Scales turned furious!
All of them drew their sabers and moved forward! The atmosphere was tense, and conflict was about to break out.
At that moment, a loud shout was heard.
“There’s an enemy!”
Everyone turned around and saw over 100 people rushing over!
However, most of these people were at the 8th or 9th Grade of Earth Rank.
Their cultivation levels were extremely high!
Furthermore, there were all kinds of tribes within.
“Hahahahahaha!”
An arrogant queen-like laughter was heard.
The leader was a woman from the Demonic Tribe. Her facial features was well defined, lending her a valiant look.
However, there was a long scar on her left eye. This woman had lost an eye.
Furthermore, there were scars on both sides of her cheeks. Clearly, they were left behind by some sharp weapon.
“Leave behind all the Mountainous Rock Pigs, spirit artifacts, and demon stones! If you don’t, all of you will die here today!”
The woman shouted.
Su Wen looked at these people in front of him and remained silent. However, he started to calculate in his heart.
The leader of the Black Scale Tribe fell silent for a moment before turning to look at Su Wen. He gritted his teeth and said, “Lord, now is not the time for us to fall out! I’ll give you an explanation for this, but you have to fight alongside us!”
As he spoke, he suddenly spun around and lashed out.
The Black Scale member was punched in the chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He fell to the ground, dead!
He chose to kill this person and did not castrate him instead!
Because he knew very well that castrating this fellow was no different than killing him in this situation, and it would even stimulate the nerves of his subordinates.
After all, as a man, being castrated was more unacceptable than death.
“Hehe…” Su Wen sneered. This fellow was quite decisive!
Seeing his actions, the woman in the lead shouted coldly, “Don’t try to struggle. It’s impossible for you to defeat us. If you dare to attack, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
She wasn’t afraid of fighting, but rather concerned because the Black Scale Tribe and White Demon Tribe had quite a few people.
There were also some experts within. They would definitely suffer heavy casualties even if they won in battle!
It was best to settle this peacefully.
However, the eagerness in her eyes could not be concealed as she looked at the Mountainous Rock Pigs being escorted by the Black Scale Tribe.
This was the greatest guarantee for a breakthrough to the Heaven Rank!
The Black Scale Commander shouted, “We have no grudges in the past, nor do we have any recent grudges. We will mind our own business. Since everyone has come, we cannot let you come for nothing. If you are willing to leave, I am willing to offer 3,000 mid-grade demon stones!:
He knew that he had to give some benefits!
Unfortunately, the bandit leader didn’t want the demon stones at all. She rolled her eyes and said, “We don’t want the demon stones. As long as you leave behind the Mountainous Rock Pigs, I will let you go!”
The expressions of the Black Scale Tribesmen changed.
These Mountainous Rock Pigs were to be transported back to the tribe.
If they really could not bring them back, only death awaited them!
“Impossible! I won’t give you even a single pig!” He roared with determination.
However, Su Wen looked behind him.
In the sky, a person was rapidly flying over!
Suddenly, the surroundings changed.
A rising demonic Qi darkened the surroundings.
The expressions of everyone present changed drastically.
A terrifying pressure descended. In the sky, a person stood in the air, his black python robe trembling without wind!
A Heaven Rank expert!
A Heaven Rank expert who could unleash domains, in addition!
Under the powerful pressure, everyone present knelt down.
It was not that they wanted to kneel. Rather, the terrifying oppressive might forced them to kneel.
However, Su Wen stood on the spot with a calm expression.
The person in the sky was Chu Xun’s fifth son, Chu Yiming!
The female Demonic Tribe bandit was also stunned.
When faced with such a Heaven Rank expert, their lives were in the hands of others.
Chu Yiming stood in the air as his cold gaze swept across the room. In the end, he looked at Su Wen and said coldly, “Are you going to commit suicide or do you want me to do it?”
He was ordered to kill Su Wen.
Along the way, he learned that Su Wen had hundreds of White Demon Tribe members with him.
From the looks of it, Su Wen must have stopped running.
Only then did everyone realize that Su Wen was the only one standing.
“What bad luck!” the female cursed inwardly. “Why did we run into two Heaven Ranks?”
Anyone who could still stand under such pressure was undoubtedly at the Heaven Rank.
The leader of the Black Scale Tribe was also stunned! Was the person he had been scheming against a Heaven Rank expert?
This was too scary!
It was a good thing he hadn’t reached the final step. Otherwise, if he were to turn hostile and discover that his opponent was a Heaven Rank expert, wouldn’t he be in deep trouble?
Su Wen looked up at Chu Yiming and smiled. “You’re really confident!”
Chu Yiming said seriously, “Of course I’m confident. I’m the fifth son of Demon Emperor Chu Xun, Chu Yiming! Have you never heard of my name?”
The moment he said that, the expressions of all the demons changed drastically!
“Demon Lord Chu Yiming!”
“It’s actually him. We’re finished. None of his enemies have survived! Demon Lord, please spare my life!”
“Great Demon Lord, please be lenient! We are all subordinates of the Demonic Tribe!”
All the demons laid on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
Only Su Wen’s White Demon Tribe remained silent.
They knew very well that without Su Wen, they would have died long ago.
However, despair rose in everyone’s hearts.
Su Wen looked at the trembling Black Scale Tribe commander and asked with a smile, “Why? Is this fellow very impressive?”
The Black Scale Tribe roared, “Don’t be rude to the Demon Lord! If the Demon Lord attacks, you will definitely die! Don’t implicate us.”
Chu Yiming was 220 years old this year. Although he wasn’t the eldest son, he was talented.
Furthermore, he was decisive in killing!
Ever since he was young, he had led the Demonic Tribe to war. He had fought from the south to the north and had countless military achievements.
His cultivation was unmatched among the younger generation.
Of course, he was not considered young anymore.
However, Chu Xun’s face was that of a youth. He couldn’t possibly make himself look older than his age, right?
Thus, even when he was at the 3rd Grade Heaven Rank and had reconstructured his body then, he still gave himself a youthful look.
However, his reputation, be it in the Demonic Tribe or the entire Demon Realm, was ranked first.
This was especially true for the Demonic Tribe. His reputation was as resounding as thunder!
How could these demons have the heart to resist?
Furthermore, this person’s methods were ruthless and cold-blooded.
The Black Scale Tribe member mustered his courage and said loudly, “Great Demon Lord, we don’t know this person at all. We were just about to kill him for you!”
The female leader of the bandit group also said sternly, “That is so, Great Demon Lord, you just came a little early. If you were a little later, we would have already killed this fellow!”
The two of them didn’t care if Su Wen was a Heaven Rank cultivator. They wanted to show their loyalty first!
His powerful strength and terrifying pressure caused everyone to lose their will to resist.
They loudly cut ties with Su Wen and expressed their loyalty, trying to get a chance of survival.
Bai Yuexi was also feeling fear, but she did not say a word.
She knew that it was useless even if she begged.
This matter had started because of them, so Chu Yiming would not let them off so easily.
Su Wen raised his head and looked at Chu Yiming with a smile. “Your reputation is really not small!”
Chu Yiming couldn’t tell that he was teasing him. In a soft voice, he said, “As a member of the Demonic Tribe, you broke through to the Heaven Rank, but you didn’t report to Royal Father and didn’t serve the tribe! You even killed your own tribesmen. You deserve to die!
However, seeing that you’re from the mountains, I won’t pursue this matter. If you’re willing to follow me back and serve Royal Father and me, then this matter will be settled!”
Chu Xun’s order was to get rid of Su Wen, but it did not mean that he had to specifically kill him.
There were many ways to solve this problem. After all, Heaven Rank cultivators were precious resources!
In Chu Yiming’s opinion, if this fellow in front of him agreed to serve him, he would spare his life!
He had to strengthen his forces! Heaven Rank experts were hard to come by!
As soon as these words were spoken, the leader of the bandit group and the leader of the Black Scale Tribe were speechless.
Wasn’t this playing with people?
Just now, the two of them even said that they wanted to kill Su Wen.
If Su Wen agreed to his request, he could now turn around the wipe the two of them from existence!
Su Wen shook his head secretly. If he had not been looking for Su Su, he might have really followed Chu Yiming back and played the role of an undercover agent against Chu Xun.
But now was not the time.
Su Wen’s feet left the ground slightly and slowly floated up. He sneered and said in disdain, “Chu Xun should have been the one to tell me what you just said. You… are not qualified!”
As he spoke, Su Wen had already floated in front of Chu Yiming.
Looking down from above, his eyes were cold.
His aura spread out slightly!
The next second…
The surging Demonic Qi in the surroundings instantly vanished.
Chu Yiming’s eyes widened in shock!
His domain had been shattered!
As for the other party, he did not even activate his domain.
Just by exuding a slight aura, his domain had already been broken through!
He was definitely not someone who had just broken through! Who was this person?
The Demonic Tribe still had such experts that were hiding so deeply?
