“The Purple Xiao Sky Lightning Escape Skill?”

The three Heavenly Human Realm cultivators, who had already arrived above Peace River, included the City Lord Wei Wenxun, who recognized this escape skill almost immediately.

He had a sinking feeling in his heart.

… The Purple Xiao Sky Lightning Escape was a unique skill of the Purple Xiao lineage of the Lingyun Holy Ground.

How did someone from Lingyun appear in Changning Weicheng, and why were they running so frantically?

Before he could react, Wang Shouzhe, who was on the ferry, loudly said, “I am grateful for the support of City Lord, Old Ancestor Yuanzhou, and Old Ancestor Beichen.

Esteemed Old Ancestors, have you seen the bald monk who is confronting Elder Qian?

This man is none other than the infamous wanted criminal-especially ‘Evil King Kong’.

Could I request the Esteemed Old Ancestors to cooperate in capturing him and sharing the spoils?”

Evil King Kong? Lei Yuanzhou and Xu Beichen were both intrigued.

Heavenly Human Realm Old Ancestors often spend years in seclusion and usually do not meddle in affairs, so both of them had not heard of this “Evil King Kong”.

However, as a mid-stage Heavenly Human Realm wanted criminal, he was undoubtedly valuable.

Generally speaking, a Heavenly Human Realm early stage wanted criminal would have a bounty of about two to three hundred thousand Qian Gold.

The bounty for a mid-stage one would be at least four to five hundred thousand.

In addition to the spoils of war, everyone would get a share.

That was indeed a huge sum of money.

Even City Lord Wei Wenxun was extremely tempted.

The City Lord is human, too, always in need of money for his cultivation and for supporting his family.

With the addition of three Heavenly Human Realm cultivators, how could Evil King Kong have any hope of escape under a four vs one scenario?

After a fierce group fight, his limbs were broken, his Qi Sea was sealed, and he was captured alive.

However, Evil King Kong was relatively poorer than other mid-stage realm cultivators of the Heavenly Human Realm and had only a pair of low-grade Magical Treasure gloves and a middle-grade Storage Ring.

The total value of all spoils of war was only about 430,000 Qian Gold.

“Thank you all for your assistance, including Master Shouzhe,” Elder Qian Jingde landed back on the ferry’s deck, giving his thanks to Wei Wenxun and others repeatedly, “This man was targeting my Qian Family, we won’t take the spoils of war, and will leave it all to your four families.”

Qian Jingde knew well to be people-pleasing.

When calculating the spoils, he included the Wang Family.

Indeed, this was only right.

Without the involvement of the Wang family this time, based on the strength of him, Qian Xuehan, and the followers of the Qian family, they might not have escaped today.

Moreover, the impressive strength displayed by Wang Longyan this time was enough to astonish Qian Jingde.

This greatly elevated his opinion of the Wang family.

As long as enough time was given to the Wang Family, their potential for development was substantial.

Lei Yuanzhou suggested, “In this battle, we merely added to the grandeur, while the main credit goes to the Wang family.

In my opinion, the Wang family should take fifty percent.

City Lord should take twenty percent, and our Lei and Xu families should each take fifteen percent.

Is that acceptable?”

“That sounds good,” said Elder Beichen, indicating his agreement, “Let’s settle it this way.”

A fifteen percent share was not small either, approximately equivalent to around 100,000 Qian Gold.

And this was virtually a windfall.

If they had such good luck every day, the Xu family of Changning would amass great wealth in no time at all.

In a few words, the Old Ancestors resolved the distribution of the spoils of war.

Wang Shouzhe was quite impressed internally on seeing this.

The Lei and Xu families could be considered reliable allies.

They acted within limits and were not greedy.

They could be trusted at critical moments, which made them worth long-term cooperation.

The only regret from today’s events was the failure to capture Cao Youqing.

All the more unfortunate because his wife Liu Ruolan had just entered seclusion.

Otherwise, that “Sacred Land Sky Pride” might not have escaped so easily.

Anyway, even if he had run away, for the present, priority should be given to dealing with the aftermath to avoid leaving any problems behind.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and he already had a plan in mind.

Wang Shouzhe’s gaze fell on City Lord Wei Wenxun.

He bowed with a smile and said, “City Lord, as you are in an official position, you definitely have access to more information than us rural folk.

Have you recognized the identity of the one who escaped?”

Wei Wenxun gave Wang Shouzhe a deep gaze.

He had inexplicably earned tens of thousands of Qian Gold from the spoils of war, which was almost equivalent to his salary for five or six years.

He should have been very happy about it.

Ɲονǥօ.сᴑ

But for some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to muster a smile.

The situation was very clear.

Wang Shouzhe had fired a “skyrocket” precisely to drag him into this.

Given his duty as a City Lord, he was obligated to assist upon detection of a skyrocket.

Otherwise, he would be derelict in his duty.

Wang Shouzhe had exploited this rule to drag him into a vortex he didn’t want to get involved in.

“Master Shouzhe…” Wei Wenxun said with a sense of grievance, “I, as the City Lord, doesn’t seem to have crossed paths with or offended the Wang Family, have I?”

Speaking of it, his heart was quite bitter.

After he newly ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm, he was appointed by the Prefecture Mansion as the Defender of Changning.

At the beginning, he also held high aspirations, wanting to achieve something.

But as the new official’s initial enthusiasm wore off, he began to feel the constraints and pressure imposed by local noble families.

In the Changning Weicheng area, large and small noble families all looked up to the Wang family, including the other two Heavenly Human prominent families- the Lei and Xu families who were all united around the Wang family.

Even the officials under the City Guard Mansion had various connections with the three Heavenly Human Realm prominent families.

Wei Wenxun was the city defender in name, but in reality, when he spoke or did something, he had no weight at all.
