Chapter 70

A furious woman's voice echoed across this heaven and earth, startling countless young Wu Clan members.

They were first curious, craning their necks to look toward the source of the sound, and then, without exception, their expressions shifted from surprise to terror, and finally they hid away, acting as if they knew nothing.

Of course, secretly, they were still paying attention.

After all, no matter what grudges and grievances exist inside, since it involves so many heaven‑chosen talents, it is ultimately something people love to hear and see, indeed.

Like Fengxi and Chimming, they were paying attention throughout.

"Fengxi, the strongest king of virtual information warfare……" Fengxi's face showed surprise, "He sealed off all major regions of the entire Wu Clan, slaughtered all opponents horizontally, and was highly praised by Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin!"

"Qinghao, invincible king of strategic planning, once pressed the lineup formed by the second to ninth place in this field together and beat them on the ground!"

"Mixi, the pinnacle of battlefield command, even challenged the Ancestor Witch, dueling equals without a clear winner, extraordinarily stunning!"

Fengxi whispered, reciting the information of the three great Wu Clan heroes he had just brushed past; that was one of the most shining stars in the Wu Clan!

Compared to ordinary matches, there is no doubt that the field in which these three participate is the part most watched by the entire Wu Clan!

After all, the Wu Clan exists for war, for slaughtering with the Demon Race…… Although the Wu Clan is also a complete civilization that develops other things, its focus has long been destined.

Any competition, once linked to war, sees its level rise by leaps and bounds.

Just look at the fans and you'll know.

Chimming's swordsmanship society has scattered tens of thousands of members.

And as for the three Fengxi, which one is below ten million?

The existence of these three, even Fengxi must hold them in utmost respect.

After all, don't look at how he now has a call that summons ten‑hundred‑million responses, with countless young Wu joining the business alliance…… but such top‑talent in the war field is, in some respects, even more important than Fengxi.

Unfortunately……

Even though the three Fengxi are stunning like this, they cannot change the grim reality before them.

Pathetic flee! Like a stray dog!

This is not because they are not strong enough…… but because their enemies' lineup is too terrifying!

Fengxi and Chimming, while trying to reduce their own presence, watched as the Wu Clan heroines charged through the middle of the road.

"Fenglixi, chief of logistics management."

"Youwei, first in governing and comforting the people."

"Lingyin, peak of system compilation."

"This…… Lingwa! Three‑time consecutive champion of the Battle Struggle, who knows how many tens of millions of challengers she has beaten down, her combat power is insanely crazy!"

"Fengsheng, Fenghuang, Nüxi……"

A string of names, spoken by Fengxi——these are a small part of the renowned thousand‑person heroine unit, active year‑round in various field competitions, picking up one honor after another!

"Dozens of competitions' undefeated kings, over two hundred ranked in the top three of their specialized fields, and the rest…… have also reached the top ten!"

"Such a unit, hunting down three kings…… is absolutely insane!"

"No wonder, being able to drive the three Fengxi into such a sorry state, they can't muster any fighting spirit……"

"With this lineup, whoever goes up against it is just…… doomed!"

"Not collapsing immediately, yet still able to flee in a lively, jumping manner—already quite amazing…… but how long can they keep running?"

"Splitting to flank, encircling and annihilating…… under an absolute disparity of strength, how could a miracle easily unfold?"

Fengxi shed a tear of sympathy for the trio running under the setting sun.

No need to look.

No hope.

Just wait to die.

Perhaps the three Fengxi also understand this cruel reality; someone, while fleeing, still doesn't forget to look back and shout, trying to save themselves.

"Lixi oh, just let me go! We're of the same surname, one family!" Fengxi shouted at the top of his lungs, "I actually didn't intend to block your door; I was merely invited by Qinghao and Mixi to go over as a witness!"

"Grudges have a source, debts have an owner; if you want revenge, just take it out on those two guys…… I'm completely innocent!"

As soon as these words were spoken, who knows how many people dropped their jaws.

Even Qinghao and Mixi, while fleeing, couldn't help but glance over with astonished eyes—who would have thought that the thick‑eyebrowed, big‑eyed Fengxi you would be such a teammate!

However, facts proved that this approach doesn't work.

"Pah!" a spirited young maiden lightly rebuked—this is Fenglixi, she sneered repeatedly, "When you were blocking the door just now, why didn't you say this?"

"Standing arrogantly at my doorstep, looking so smug, you tell me you came just to be a witness?"

"Hehe!"

"Too late!"

"Every cause has its effect; your retribution is me!"

"Sisters, today let these three who rely on numbers to bully the few know——who is the person they dare not provoke!"

She raised her arm and waved, and instantly a thousand followed.

"Right!"

"Let them know!"

In unison, their neat, uniform shout proves how strict their discipline is.

"Who is the person they dare not provoke!"

Smoke and dust billowed, killing intent surged, as if already foreshadowing someone's tragic end.

……

"Chimming ah!"

Fengxi poked Chimming, "Opportunity!"

As the heroine army charged past, the low‑key, honest Chimming now tilted his head with a bewildered face and asked, "What opportunity?"

"You're not sighing because masters are lonely and want to find someone to test your sword, are you? This opportunity has just come!" Fengxi pouted angrily, gesturing at the team that had already gone far away, leaving only black dots as silhouettes, "This army of a thousand heroic women, full of many strongest kings, can let you fight to your heart's content!"

"Don't be afraid... you have unyielding iron bones, you'd rather break than bend!"

He was scheming, with ill intent, letting Chiming go out to challenge, to repay his earlier heartless words.

Chiming's eye twitched, then he waved his hands repeatedly, "Forget it, forget it... they're busy right now, how could I dare to go over and disturb them, to challenge them?"

Challenging them is impossible.

If you challenge one, you'll draw out a thousand—what then?

Chiming thought... facing such a lineup, let alone him being just a person like a sword, with unyielding iron bones, he'd rather break than bend.

Even if you turned all his bones into swords, recklessly rushing up would have his sword-bones smashed to pieces, ground into powder, and fed to iron-eating beasts.

Dying would be horribly miserable!

"Well, you." Chiming looked at Fengxi, "Aren't you the leader of the Business Alliance?"

"You can call for help!"

"Let's have an honorable showdown with them... if we win, it'll let our male witches hold their heads high!"

"Calling people costs money, and a lot of it..." Fengxi's face showed a pained expression, "To hire that many heroes to fight a thousand-strong tournament... my little treasury would probably shrink by half!"

"They're hunting Fuxi, Mi Xi, and Qinghao—not me... why should I stick my neck out?"

"It's a loss-making deal, can't do it, can't do it!"

Fengxi shook his head and swayed.

His money didn't just blow in from the wind; he can spend it without feeling any pain.

Moreover, the key is—Fengxi's organizational ability truly frightened him.

From having the door blocked to quickly assembling a thousand-strong counterattack squad, with every member a talent... how long did that take?

Can't afford to provoke them, can't afford to provoke them.

Fengxi and Chiming locked eyes, both understanding the other's malicious intent, yet neither fell for it.

They stared at each other with wide eyes for a long time, finally letting out a disdainful snort, exchanging a single word, then each turned and left.

"Coward!"

"Stingy!"

……

After bidding a 'friendly' farewell to Chiming, Fengxi didn't even go home, but headed straight for the Hall of the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

Regardless of whether Chiming meant well or ill, his words reminded Fengxi that the position of Business Alliance leader is a hot potato, not something he can hold onto now.

Who knows when heaven will arrange for him to die unexpectedly, an early death.

The innate spiritual treasure promised by the Ancestral Witch—if I can get it a day earlier, all the better... at least I'll have some self-defense power.

Then, jump out of this muddy pit... whoever wants to take over can take over.

"But... without this leader position, how am I supposed to use my cheat?" Fengxi worried, "I've finally gotten on the right track."

He opened a special, extraordinary perspective to examine his own fortune.

It was as if endless golden specks of light surged from all directions, forming a golden sea!

This is the fortune belonging to the leader of the Business Alliance!

Billions of the Wu Clan joined, recognized, and followed its system, forming a trend; through heaven-human resonance, power arose!

Although this power is ethereal and hard to grasp... but Fengxi possesses the 'Fortune Merit System' granted by Xihuang, which allows him to easily control it.

At this moment, these fortunes help Fengxi, making his soul more lucid and sharp; countless sparks of wisdom flash, each instant brings forth endless inspiration, and his Dao progress slowly advances.

Legend says, if fortune is strong, it aids cultivation all the way up to the Great Luo and even Saint existence...

So, some establish great teachings, some build the Heavenly Court, some vie for hegemony... all to contend for fortune.

Now, I think I understand a bit.

Fengxi examined his own fortune landscape, then looked at the entire Wu Clan's fortune torrent; that brilliant radiance almost blinded his eyes.

The Wu Clan's clan fortune... how terrifying!

Mastering so much fortune, the Ancestral Witches' strength is truly imaginable.

Moreover, as the source, they also levy taxes on these internal Wu Clan organizations..." Fengxi felt a pang, looking at his golden fortune sea, enveloped and drained by a vast power.

For every ten portions of fortune harvested, seven must be handed over!

How dark!

He muttered, looked at his fists, and had to accept this reality.

Never mind... after all, the Business Alliance's main members are minor witches, inherently bearing the Wu Clan's attributes; being taxed seventy percent is only natural... even from some angle, I'm still digging into the Wu Clan's corner to advance my cultivation.

That the Ancestral Witch didn't slap me to death is already good.

When a Saint establishes a great teaching, who enjoys the fortune?

Naturally, it's the Saint, the strongest!

Below that, who can covet it?

The Wu Clan's form is actually not much different.

But the Ancestral Witch permits it, letting those below dig into the corner by their own ability, merely levying heavy taxes on you... compared to that, this is not bad.
