West Coast, in that port city that had just been robbed.

The newly arrived Lu Wuchen looked tiredly at the war-torn battlefield for a long time, then his gaze passed over the three Celestial Realm First-Grade Great Cultivators who were meditating and recovering, and finally he sighed and asked a pale-faced yet still dignified young man behind him: "Yue Mountain, are you injured? You are already at the Peak of Grade Two, apart from a First-Grade Great Demon, who could harm you?"

"Reporting to Master, the one who injured me was Xiong Wu."

"Xiong Wu? Haha, this Little Bear again! I really feel unlucky, wherever something happens, I can hear this Little Bear's name!"

Lu Wuchen seemed to lose control for a moment, his anger nearly burst forth!

There, the Snake Emperor emerges from Dragon Island ruins, and the jump-out is Xiong Wu.

Here, Snow Wolf encountered the Stone Demon, made a deal, and behind it, there was also Xiong Wu.

Now the South Wilderness, South Sea, and West Sea three races come to loot, and the one who injured his direct disciple is still Xiong Wu!

"You! You are the disciple I trust the most, have the highest expectations for, the greatest growth potential, and are about to advance to First-Grade. As the ninth-ranked genius among this generation of Immortal Alliance disciples, you, you actually lost to that Little Bear? What are you doing!"

Unable to hold back, Lu Wuchen slapped Yue Mountain.

He was not usually so out of control because not long ago, he was leading a team to pursue the Snake Emperor, and that Snake Emperor was even more cunning than Xiong Wu, almost annihilating his entire team and leaving him heavily injured.

These bad news just keep coming.

"Thud!"

Yue Mountain knelt on both knees, loudly saying: "Please, Master, give me a chance to redeem myself. I am willing to personally go to the South Wilderness to assassinate Xiong Wu. This time, it has gone to the South Wilderness and can no longer conceal its tracks! I will throw my life away, even if it means dying together, I must kill it!"

"Shut up!"

Lu Wuchen roared in fury, but then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and softened his tone.

"Sorry, Master should not have lashed out at you. Get up, it's just that too many bad things have happened recently, alas, but this is good news, indicating our enemies are surfacing one after another; the Dark Alliance, the Snake Emperor, haha, even Xiong Wu has gone to the South Wilderness to become king, it's truly good news, it's only when they surface, jump out, that we can strike hard."

"Rest assured, don't worry about that Little Bear, go back and shut yourself in for a hundred years, strive to advance to First-Grade, and in the next hundred years, the only task for the Immortal Alliance is to capture the Snake Emperor, all nine Great Elders of the Immortal Alliance have come out and summoned the Divine Sword, within a hundred years, the Snake Emperor's head will be taken!"

"Then, the troops will march south, as for Xiong Wu, Kong Xuanzhen, Yu Shenwu, they will all be crushed, none left! The unification of the Great Wilderness is just around the corner."

Lu Wuchen suddenly laughed, yes, being a remnant of the Dragon Race, indeed very Dragon Bi, but so what, when the Immortal Alliance doesn't show its power, do they really think the Human Race's heritage is a joke?

Lu Wuchen's eyes flashed, the heritage of the Human Race, hehe, who could have thought it would be like this.

Ha, laughable, those of the Demon Race, laughable that Grandpa Tree, laughable that Xiong Wu, what are they!

Just let them prance around!

"Do you remember what the Master said?"

"Yes! Master, I will follow Master's arrangements."

"Very good, that's it, go and inform your junior brother Five Poison, tell him to stop playing with those nonsense, crooked and evil ways—"

Just as Lu Wuchen finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and the next second even those three Celestial Realm First-Grade Great Cultivators jumped up; only to see a large black cloud of poison rising in the south corner of the city!

The cultivators and mortal warriors in the city had no time to dodge, and in the blink of an eye, thousands turned directly into bones, then into poisonous water.

They did not die under the Demon Race's siege, yet at this moment, they somehow died in this poison cloud!

And the poison cloud continues to spread rapidly!

"Not good, this is the mechanism that Five Poison junior brother left for that Little Bear!"

Yue Mountain's face changed, because he also participated, even considering afterward letting Xiong Wu take the blame, claiming the poison was released by Xiong Wu!

They are too skilled in creating massacres, pushing blame, and stirring up public opinion, while taking advantage for themselves.

But he really didn't know how the poison cloud mechanism suddenly erupted.

"You wretch!"

Lu Wuchen's face turned pale with anger, another two consecutive slaps followed!

Because those three Great Cultivators were also present; this wanton slaughter of Human Race Cultivators, even if he is a descendant of Lu Ji, it can't continue to go on!

"Where is that wretch Five Poison, I'm going to tear him apart!"

Lu Wuchen's furious roar!

Even he found this poison cloud somewhat tricky.

Because he was heavily injured, including those three Great Cultivators who had just gone through a fierce battle, who would want to deal with this tricky poison cloud?

But the tens of thousands of cultivators and mortal warriors in South City are really beyond saving!

Yue Mountain's face paled, in fact, even Five Poison himself could not solve this poison, because this was specially prepared as a luxury package for Xiong Wu!

They thought of everything that could be thought of, except that Xiong Wu would join the South Wilderness, resulting in the mechanism not being fully built...

"Where's Five Poison?"

"Darn it, where's Five Poison?"

Lu Wuchen carrying his sword, was searching the city for Five Poison, that kid was here earlier.

Wait, no way?

He had a bad premonition in his mind—

"Master! Save me!"

A miserable cry for help came from the poison cloud, extremely pitiable.

Then a figure, almost corroded to bones, rushed out of the poison cloud, collapsed to the ground, still screaming and wailing, the scene was truly gruesome and shocking.

Lu Wuchen's face remained ashen, as if he might swing his sword down at any moment, but just short of doing so.

"Master, it was Xiong Wu, he set the trap, and I failed to notice, falling victim to his vile trick. Master, you must uphold justice for this disciple! Though... though my life may not be worth much, the lives of the tens of thousands in this half-city are all living people!"

"Thud!"

Yue Mountain suddenly knelt down, tears streaming down his face. "Master, I dare vouch for my junior brother. Though he excels at refining Five Poison Spiritual Qi, he would never lose control over himself. That Xiong Wu is truly vicious!"

"Please, Master, and all the elders here, uphold justice for the tens of thousands in this half-city!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wuchen's ashen face finally softened a little.

"That Xiong Wu, I will certainly kill him one day!"

"But Five Poison, you truly deserve to die!"

"If there's a next time, I will not let it slide!"

——

"It feels good this time, truly safe. At least for the next hundred years, I can peacefully cultivate and grow in the South Wilderness!"

On the streets of Black Tortoise Royal City, Wang Wu strolled leisurely, admiring the unique scenery of this exotic locale, while his mind cheerfully entertained this notion.

Then he paused for a moment.

In the next second, like the receding tide, he couldn't find the source of this spiritual light again.

His extreme danger perception was like an old dog, as if nothing had happened.

Only Wang Wu knew this was the third time.

His danger perception told him this place was safe, and it truly was safe.

Just like the previous two times.

"I always feel these three instances of sudden insight seem mysterious, yet somehow related?"

"Now, I'm clearly immersing myself in the South Wilderness, wouldn't Lu Wuchen come and assassinate me? Wouldn't the Immortal Alliance's army angrily march south?"

"I understand!"

"The first time, it led me to expose the Snake Emperor and the Dragon Race ruins on Snake Island. Their importance far surpasses mine, so the Immortal Alliance is currently focused on investigating the Snake Emperor and the Dark Alliance?"

"The second time, though it cost Snow Wolf General, it led to the discovery of the Profound Iron Mine, attracting the three races of South Wilderness, South Sea, and West Sea to plunder, and this plunder is surely based on the Immortal Alliance being unable to spare manpower and resources due to their pursuit of the Snake Emperor and the Dark Alliance."

"Thus now, I smoothly joined the South Wilderness, and based on the first point, Lu Wuchen and the Immortal Alliance likely have no time to bother with me!"

"Right now, they've only lost a portion of the Profound Iron Ore, and for the Profound Iron Mine, this loss is negligible. As for me, I'm just an undeveloped second Xiong Pi!"

"But just because it's safe doesn't mean I should slack off. When the Immortal Alliance finally has time, if I don't have enough strength to resist, then I and the Southern Wilderness Demon Race might be crushed directly!"

Wang Wu's heart was full of vigilance. Grandpa Tree said the Immortal Alliance possesses a World's Treasure, a lifebound flying sword refined to Immortal Third Grade. If Lu Wuchen obtains this World's Treasure and leads the Human Race army south, who can resist?

He still hasn't forgotten the terrifying scene when Snow Wolf General was possessed by Stone Demon, where it seemed even gods couldn't stop him.

"Celestial Third Grade!"

Just thinking about it made Wang Wu shudder.

Following that, he lost interest in strolling around, took out the Mountain Patrol Seal, and the moment he injected Qi Blood, he sensed his territory.

He had to quickly receive his wealth; just the daily income of Spirit Essence was enough to keep him happy.

Exiting from the Black Tortoise Royal City, he traveled north, encountering only mountains and forests, with few villages, towns, or estates in sight. This was due to the lack of Human Race-like societal structures and the absence of the most basic, stable Demon People.

Wang Wu thought, this is where the Demon Race falls vastly behind the Human Race.

The Human Race's foundation is stable. Although most Mortals have poor qualifications, geniuses will always emerge, endlessly.

Although Mortal Human Race seems to suffer many disasters and exploitation, they still manage to form villages, towns, and cities, creating basic societal structures.

No matter how tragic the poems describe the lowly Mortals as ants, their starting point is still far higher than that of ants.

As for the Demon Race.

They still have feudal structures here.

Everything within the territory, including Little Demons, is considered private property.

Moreover, the Demon Race seems inherently disadvantaged.

Take the Left Demon Emperor, a Great Peacock. He would show no empathy for a mere small peacock; yes, empathy, because in his heart, he doesn't see it as his kin. He wouldn't chat with a small peacock about daily life.

But if it were the most inhuman Lu Wuchen, if he saw a woodcutter while enjoying the view, even if in a bad mood, unless he's gone mad, he'd naturally see him as a fellow human. Even if their statuses differ greatly, he wouldn't casually kill the woodcutter just because he's disturbing his view.

He might even exchange a few words with the woodcutter.

That's the biggest difference.

Would the Left Demon Emperor chat with a mere small peacock?

The Human Race values the essence of human life and the beauty of pastoral retreat. What inherent beauty does the Demon Race's lowest level possess?

"It seems the Human Race will certainly win!"

Wang Wu was somewhat gloomy, then his sense of security sharply dropped.

Nothing to be said; he should retreat and cultivate, even if he cannot win in the future, he can still choose to flee.

Heading north for about five hundred li, he felt a stir in his heart. The Mountain Patrol Seal suddenly glowed brightly, indicating his territory had been reached.
