Chapter 268: Su Wen’s Scheme

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Demon Realm, Demon Emperor Chu Xun listened to Mo Youhan’s report.

There were also some other 9th Grade Heaven Rank experts from other races present.

Among them, they had a certain amount of authority.

After hearing Mo Youhan’s report, the Flame Demon representative looked at Chu Xun and asked bluntly, “Chu Xun, how much are you planning to collect from that trading area? If the tariffs are too much, we won’t do it!”

Chu Xun rolled his eyes at him!

This idiot!

Chu Xun cursed inwardly.

Obviously, this Flame Demon was already tempted.

The Flame Demon continued to comment, “This Su Wen is really a good person! He even helped us nurture some species. This way, if I casually enslave a few small races, there will be people helping me nurture vicious beasts. When I turn around, I can lie down and receive benefits!”

In reality, the Flame Demon’s words were also what many people thought.

Obviously, they were more concerned about how much benefits Chu Xun, who controlled the channel, would receive!

“20%!” Chu Xun said lightly.

He was even more black-hearted than Su Wen!

“Chu Xun! You’re too much!” As expected, someone immediately voiced their dissatisfaction!

“You’re not doing anything and you want to collect 20% of the fees? How can that be?”

“That Su Wen only took 10%, how can you be so black-hearted!”

Although these demons’ cultivation was inferior to Chu Xun’s, they were truly not afraid of him.

At the very least, they still dared to speak their thoughts.

Chu Xun sneered and said, “What does it have to do with me how he collects it? In any case, my Demon Race wants to extract 20% of the benefits. After extracting the benefits, I will do my duty and maintain the transaction. You don’t have to worry about anything else! If you agree, you can join. If you don’t agree, you can leave!”

Chu Xun was determined to reap the benefits, so he directly doubled the share.

This time, the other demons were not happy. One had to know that they could not personally nurture these ferocious beasts, so what should they do?

Even if they were to enslave other races to do their bidding, they had to leave some benefits for those slaves!

If his subordinates were to successfully cultivate those creatures, they as their masters would definitely have to leave enough benefits for them.

Only then would others be willing to work.

It was true that they were Heaven Rank experts, but there was no way they could keep an eye on their slaves day and night.

If there were really no benefits at all, it would be very normal for those subordinates to run away instead.

How could these people, who had been standing at the top for so long not know this logic?

To put it bluntly, if Chu Xun earned more, they would have less space to exploit their workers!

This was the exploitation of benefits one after another.

In the end, the lowest races were the most pitiful.

These big shots started to bargain with Chu Xun!

They didn’t dare to make a move, but they didn’t agree to Chu Xun’s suggestion either. They just kept debating with Chu Xun.

Finally, Chu Xun glared and his aura exploded!

Everyone fell silent.

His gaze coldly swept across the group of demons and said, “I said 20%, so 20% it will be!”

In the end, the one with the biggest fist had the final say!

The Flame Demon pursed its lips. “Then we have to let Su Wen nurture a living being that can reproduce quickly. Otherwise, how can we have enough benefits to go around!”

If the profits were low, they had to prioritize quantity over quality. This was a very simple answer.

Chu Xun pondered for a moment and said to Mo Youhan, “This matter will be decided for the time being. You have to supervise Su Wen’s cultivation of living beings as soon as possible. You have to nurture living beings that are fast and have a certain level of strength. He needs the ferocious beasts in our Demon Realm to do experiments, so try your best to satisfy his demands!”

Mo Youhan nodded and looked at Chu Xun. “Your Majesty, there’s one more thing!”

“What is it?”

“Recently, many scattered demons have secretly entered through the entrance of Nine Nether Island! There are also some small clans that are eager to give it a try! On the way back, I saw many demons approaching the human world camp.” Mo Youhan said.

Chu Xun frowned when he heard this.

The Demon Race was not easy to control. They were fierce and ruthless, all greedy and murderous.

Furthermore, the biggest problem of the Demon Race was that the Demon Realm was dark and had relatively scarce resources. It was rumored that the human world was full of resources and wealth, and that was what all the Demon Race yearned for.

To put it bluntly, in the hearts of many demons, the moon in the human world was rounder!

As for some of the more simple-minded demons, they only wanted to fish someone up for a taste…

This was exactly what Su Changqing and Gongsun Shi were worried about.

These demons also knew that they could not defeat the human experts!

However, they felt that the defense line of Nine Nether Island was so long, if they managed to secretly cross over, they might be able to lord over an area of the human world and live a good life.

Chu Xun’s expression was calm. In the end, there was nothing he could do about this matter!

It was impossible for him to completely control the connection between Nine Nether Island and the Demon Realm, or rather, he did not care about the actions of these demons at all.

In any case, it would not cause him any losses!

He shook his head and said, “Don’t worry about them. If those fellows are willing to fight with the fellows in the human world, just go. Just inform Su Wen that these people have nothing to do with us! Furthermore, tell him that I’m not the only one who dominates the Demon Realm. I can only guarantee that we won’t be enemies with them for the time being!”

This was a very simple principle. Could the emperor control the martial artists from killing?

Most of the time, they could not control them.

Similarly, Chu Xun couldn’t control those demons who wanted to cross the line!

Another round of challenges began.

The detection formation could only detect Heaven Rank experts because their own Heaven Earth Origin Qi fluctuations were strong enough, but it was useless against ordinary demons.

Even if all the Heaven Rank experts in the human world joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to defend against the endless wilderness.

Thus, the alliance army of the human world began to move.

They could only rely on their manpower to search for the demons!

It was also thanks to Su Changqing leading his men to build the mountain pass first, allowing the human troops to have a foothold.

These scattered demons began to fight against the alliance army of the human world, which had also been scattered around!

This would definitely become a long-term confrontation.

Meanwhile, in Frost Iron City, Su Changqing and Su Wen were sitting together.

Old Su drank his tea and said with a smile, “This Yanluo Tea from the Demon World is not bad.”

Su Wen also smiled. “Of course. Now you know that your son is filial, right? I exchanged a precious treasure for this.”

He was just bragging!

This Yanluo Tea, otherwise known as the Smoky Asura Tea, was a gift from Mo Youhan to Su Wen when she came to deliver the experimental creatures and to inform him about Chu Xun’s attitude.

She was greatly in love with the bottle of perfume Su Wen gave her.

Su Changqing placed the teacup by the side and asked Su Wen, “How much is the Demon Race asking for their tariffs?”

“20%!” Su Wen smiled happily.

Su Changqing glanced at him from the corner of his eye and sneered. “What? Do you have a way to deal with this?”

“Of course! I’ve already discussed it with Ni Hongxiao! This isn’t the first time she has come into contact with a demon race!”

Back then, Ni Hongxiao had obtained many samples of the races of the Demon Realm from the Star Martial Mystic Realm. Although those people had a piece of soul missing, their body structures were still the same.

Su Changqing sighed, “When I heard you recount that day, I knew that you had ill intentions when you told Mo Youhan about how much the human world plans to charge for tariffs. It’s as I thought!”

Su Wen laughed loudly. “Of course! There are two fellows following behind Mo Youhan, and it’s obvious that they’re here to monitor us. It’s obvious that the distribution of benefits within the Demon Race must also be discussed! That’s why I specifically told them that we’ll draw 10%!

It’s fine if Demon Emperor Chu Xun isn’t greedy, but since he’s greedy, he’ll make those races from the Demon Realm unhappy. After all, without comparison, there won’t be any harm! If we draw 10% and he draws 20%, who would feel comfortable?”

Su Wen said with a confident expression, “Furthermore, how could Chu Xun draw 10% as well? With us two Saints here, how could he not feel any pressure? With this opportunity, he will definitely try his best to increase his cultivation!”

Su Wen also took a sip of the Yanluo Tea. The tea was indeed extremely fragrant when it entered his mouth. He continued, “Although this merit cultivation is good, I’ve tested it. This thing will be consumed! Furthermore, the consumption speed is not slow either! In other words, nobody would be unhappy about getting more of such good stuff! With this thing, we can nurture our own top experts faster!”

It was not just limited to experts!

He still had those women at home! Su Wen had his own considerations.

After breaking through to the Heaven Rank, his lifespan had been greatly extended. He didn’t want to see the people around him die one by one. If he could make them stronger, then he naturally had to make them stronger!

Su Changqing nodded and said, “Since you have an idea to restrict that Demon Emperor, this matter is considered thorough. I was initially worried that you would forget this, then I’m afraid there will be trouble!”

Su Wen sneered. “Don’t worry, I’ve already made plans! How can I let Chu Xun off so easily?”

Hearing his words, Su Changqing felt relieved. The two of them chatted for a while more before Su Wen bade farewell and left.

As he watched Su Wen leave, Su Changqing’s eyes were filled with smiles. “You’ve grown up, you’ve really grown up. You’ve thought about everything and your methods are meticulous. You’ve linked everything together and caused your opponent to fall into your trap! Not bad! Not bad! As expected of my son! Should I have another child…”

After leaving Su Changqing’s office, Su Wen went to Ni Hongxiao’s laboratory.

In the laboratory, Su Wen hugged Ni Hongxiao’s waist.

The two of them stood side by side, looking like a match made in heaven.

“Don’t move!” Ni Hongxiao scolded before she lectured, “This is the Mighty Strength Mouse of the Demon Realm that you requested to be nurtured. I specially adjusted its genome sequence to allow it to have the reproductive ability of an ordinary mouse. It can give birth eight times in a year, and give birth to more than 20 babies every year.

Considering the cost of raising them, I also nurtured a type of Longevity Grass that can continuously grow throughout the year and four seasons to feed them! According to what you said, I tampered with the breeding of this Longevity Grass. This thing cannot breed on its own, and can only be artificially nurtured. After growing for a year, it will automatically wither and die.”

Su Wen could not help but kiss her!

He smiled and said, “You know quite a lot now. You can even change the genetic sequence!”

Ni Hongxiao shrugged, “The book you gave me is very useful.”

She looked at Su Wen and muttered, “Where did you get such a strange book?”

Su Wen did not reply. In his opinion, Ni Hongxiao’s ability to adjust a genetic sequence without scientific equipment was even more terrifying.

The civilizations of the two worlds intertwined, and it was obvious that terrifying sparks had already been produced from the collision.

Using science to adjust the world’s understanding, using spirit masters and Qi methods to forcefully change it.

It made Ni Hongxiao do something that Su Wen had never thought of.

In reality, this could be seen from Ni Hongxiao’s methods.

In reality, a Spiritual Master could do things that technology could not.

For example, Zhao Jin’s beast arm!

Another example was the plants that Ni Hongxiao had cultivated in the Flame God Sect.

He muttered, “With these two things, I’ll skin that Demon Emperor alive!”

“Oh yes, what about the creatures of the human world?”

“It’s also been nurtured. According to what you said, it’s a grade lower than the Giant Strength Rat!” Ni Hongxiao said, “But recently, I’ve been researching some of the physical secrets of the Demon Race. I hope to inject some special elements into the body of the Giant Strength Rat. If the demon tribes eat it, I hope it can affect them a little. Therefore, the research and development of the materials for the raising of the Giant Strength Rat still needs some time!”

“Hiss!” Su Wen sucked in a cold breath. He dared to pat his chest and promise that all these was not taught by him!

In reality, regardless of whether it was Su Wen or Ni Hongxiao, they knew that these two species they were researching would not escape being turned into food in both of their worlds.

It could even be said that these two living beings would greatly improve the lives of the people at the bottom of the two worlds.

It was just that at the same time they resolved the famine problem for the demons, why not add on an extra layer of guarantee for themselves!

Just be vicious!

As the two of them were talking, Wu Lie’s voice sounded from outside.

“Sister-in-law Ni, I’ve sent someone over for you!”

Su Wen and Ni Hongxiao went out and saw Wu Lie coming over with some strange demons.

He smiled and said, “These few people’s cultivation levels aren’t high, so killing them won’t be beneficial. They’re being sent over as experimental materials!”

When he saw Su Wen, he laughed loudly. “You’re here too, brat. If you have nothing to do later, let’s go drink!”

Su Wen smiled. “You sure know how to cause trouble!”

Wu Lie shook his head and said, “Who in the military doesn’t know Sister Ni’s name? It’s our honor to be able to send her experimental materials!”

“Oh?”

Su Wen was really surprised.

Ni Hongxiao had such high prestige?

He didn’t know that during this period of time, Ni Hongxiao had led the human spiritual masters to research many weapons!

And all of them, without exception, were extremely powerful!

This greatly increased the combat strength of these soldiers!

The thoughts of the soldiers in the army were even simpler. Whoever gave them a chance to live would be a good person!

Currently, the missiles were already equipped into the Regular Army. Once they discovered the enemy… they would blast them first and talk later!

How comfortable was that?

Furthermore, Ni Hongxiao’s Eagle Eye Location Technique was also a powerful method of investigation.

To the soldiers, Ni Hongxiao’s reputation was even above Su Wen’s!

Meanwhile in the wilderness, Yan Luoying was leading the soldiers on patrol!

Currently, Yan Luoying’s subordinates were all at least 5th Grade Earth Rank, and there were even some 8th and 9th Grade Earth Rank experts.

It was also extremely beneficial for them to come out and hunt the demons.

Suddenly, the falcon they sent out in the sky returned!

It landed on Yan Luoying’s shoulder and used spiritual perception to communicate with her for a moment.

Yan Luoying gave the order.

“There are thousands of people from the Demon Realm 40 miles southwest. Prepare for battle!”

“Yes!”

Immediately after, the soldiers began to set up a missile launch array.

The array formation was set up! Then the falcon took off again.

Those Demon Race denizens were from the Demonic Toad tribe!

They had green skin that was filled with gray pustules on their bodies.

With large googly eyes and a wide open mouth, they looked extremely disgusting.

If one got closer, one could even detect a fishy smell.

They were the lowest race in the Demon World!

However, there were thousands of such toads present, including some 8th and 9th Grade Earth Rank experts.

“Tsk tsk! Brothers, you can do it! When we go to the human world, we’ll each get two human women and eat one for fun!”

The leader of the Demonic Toad Tribe laughed.

“Haha! Leader is right! I heard that humans are weak. If we go, we’ll just kill them as we please, so that we don’t have to stay in the Demon Realm to see the faces of those powerful races!”

“I’ve read the ancient records. It’s said that human cubs are extremely delicious!”

The Demonic Toad tribe was very relaxed!

“Tell the scouts to keep their guards up. Report to them immediately if they discover any human guards!”

They did not notice that a black dot had already locked onto them in the sky!

“Leader! Look! What’s that?”

“Eh?”

The leader of the Demonic Toad tribe widened his eyes as he saw a cylinder flying straight at them from the sky!

It was Yan Luoying’s missile!

Boom!

As the missile descended… an explosion occurred!

In an instant, a countless number of the weaker Demonic Toads died!

As for the stronger Demonic Toads, some of them were injured, while some managed to resist the impact!

The Demonic Toad Tribe leader looked at the broken limbs on the ground with a blank expression.

They, who had been dreaming earlier, were now in a sorry state.

At this moment, Yan Luoying had already rushed over.

“Kill!”

The sound of weapons rang out!

Beside Yan Luoying, Old Zhou rushed forward and met the commander of the Demonic Toad Race!

The battle began!

But whatever transpired here was only a miniature version!

On this defensive line that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, too many people were needed to work together.

Of course, the human Heaven Rank experts weren’t idle either. Many of them were also patrolling outside.

If they discovered demons, they would fight, and they would kill them if they could!

There was no hesitation.

There were no restrictions when facing the demons.

But even so, there were still some scattered fish that escaped the net…

They passed through the defense line and entered the human world!

The passageway between the two worlds had already opened, so some things were inevitable.

However, these sporadic stowaways caused much less harm as compared to a mass invasion.

As long as a Heaven Rank expert didn’t sneak in, they wouldn’t be able to cause any problems!

In Frost Iron City, the leaders of the various forces gathered together.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Su Wen swept his gaze across everyone and said with a smile, “Now, we have already signed an initial agreement with the Demon Race. We can exchange every two 2nd Grade vicious beasts for three 3rd Grade vicious beasts from their end!”

Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this!

This advantage was not small!

Su Wen said, “However, in order to facilitate a form of unified management, we will only focus on rearing a 2nd Grade improved vicious beast, the mountain rock pig! This mountain rock pig has a gentle temperament and is extremely fertile.”

Everyone was not stupid. If the grade was too high, it would be difficult to raise it on a large scale!

Su Wen said in a deep voice, “You can organize your own people to tame it or buy it from others. I won’t care about you, but the transaction channel will only accept vicious beasts of this breed! In addition, I will give out a type of grass seed called Billion Cluster Grass. Only mountain rock pigs that grow from eating this grass will be allowed to be traded!”

Everyone frowned, not knowing why this had to happen.

However, no one spoke. If that was the case, it didn’t seem to be a big deal.

In any case, they did not need to raise it themselves.

In reality, Su Wen was not worried that they would not use it!

The stone mountain pig’s reproduction ability was extremely strong. When there was not enough food, the cost of raising it would be extremely high!

This Billion Cluster Grass was the feed that Ni Hongxiao specially developed.

This thing was extremely easy to grow, be it in terms of cost of performance or difficulty, it was extremely affordable.

It could even be said that this thing was the most suitable feed for feeding mountain rock pigs.

As for this grass… Ni Hongxiao had also done something to it…

Murong Qiu furrowed his brow. From the looks of it, the division of benefits didn’t seem to be biased at all!

They were just raising pigs with their own abilities!

This was completely out of his expectations.

Among these people, Ao Jing frowned!

Compared to humans, it was nonsensical for Vicious Beasts to raise pigs!

Su Wen continued, “However, this transaction was facilitated because of the two Saints. It’s also because of the Saints that everyone can have such a price. Therefore, no matter how many mountain rocks and pigs you send over, 10% of them will be taken away as a commission!”

He looked at the crowd with a smile.. “We’ll split the profits using the remaining. Two of the Saints will take 45% each, and the remaining 10% will be given to… Ao Jing! In other words, the Heaven Rank beasts!”
