The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Dazzling Rewards Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Dazzling Rewards At this moment, even the Jing Family could no longer remain calm.

Previously when the Jing Family granted Spirit Stones and low-level Elixirs to the Liu Family, the Jing Family didn’t feel that there was any problem.

But now, Jing Yan had brought out the Holy Spirit Potion, which should have been used for their own family.

How could they give it to outsiders?

Indeed, the Liu Family was truly loyal to Jing Yan, but no matter how loyal, they were still outsiders!

Moreover, the Holy Spirit Potions that Jing Yan rewarded to the Liu Family were a total of five bottles!

If these five bottles of Holy Spirit Potion were given to Jing Family Disciples, wouldn’t the Jing Family have at least two more Martial Artists advance to the Innate Realm in a short time?

Even Jing Chengye, Jing Tianying, and others all frowned repeatedly, but at this point, Jing Yan had already made his announcement, and they couldn’t publicly stop him.

If they did stop him, that would make them the laughing stock and show disrespect to Jing Yan.

Jing Chengye and other high-ranking members of the Jing Family could only silently lament in their hearts.

Jing Yan had not consulted them about giving away the Holy Spirit Potion.

Of course, even if he had consulted them, it was unlikely that they would have agreed.

Besides, even if they didn’t agree, they couldn’t change Jing Yan’s decision.

By now, the resources that Jing Yan had awarded to the Liu Family, including two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, sixty low-level Elixirs, and five bottles of Holy Spirit Potion, amounted to a maddeningly generous gift package.

The many clan leaders present were green with envy, wishing they could rush forward and snatch the items from Patriarch Liu.

But they hadn’t lost their reason yet; if they made a move now, they were afraid that a single sweep of Jing Yan’s sword would cost them their lives.

“Ma Family Patriarch!” Jing Yan called out again.

Seeing the rewards given to the Liu Family, Ma Family Patriarch was already itching with greed.

When he heard Jing Yan calling him, he leaped forward and rushed up eagerly to approach Jing Yan, his eyes dewy as he looked at him.

His demeanor was much like that of a child hearing that a parent was about to offer candy—though here, no one dared to make jest of it.

If it were them, they probably couldn’t act any more calmly than Ma Family Patriarch.

It truly was a Reward Distribution Assembly, and the rewards could indeed blind people.

The rewards given to the Ma Family were identical to those given to the Liu Family, with no differences at all.

After receiving the rewards, Ma Family Patriarch thanked him profusely, stumbling over his words, breath uneven, eyes bulging, body trembling.

Such excitement was probably unprecedented in his life.

Next was the Li Family, receiving the same rewards, no different from the Liu Family or the Ma Family.

These three families were the most loyal to the Jing Family, willing to share triumphs and tribulations with them.

Of course, they could not treat them differently.

Yet the distribution of rewards was not over; Jing Yan called upon each clan leader to come forward and accept their rewards.

These clans were all part of the former Zhao Family camp, but they had not deployed their family’s elites to partake in the war a month ago.

Their non-participation was considered a service to the Jing Family, and they were to be rewarded.

They would understand that aligning with the Jing Family had prospects, and the Jing Family would not mistreat them.

Naturally, their rewards were far less than those given to families like the Liu Family.

For these families, the rewards were only some Spirit Stones and a small number of Elixirs; the Holy Spirit Potion was out of the question.

At least, for now, they were not entitled to the Holy Spirit Potion.

These families regretted it!

Had they known, they would’ve supported the Jing Family wholeheartedly.

But who could have predicted that the Jing Family would be able to annihilate the Zhao Family?

Not sending troops was already a great pressure on them, fearing that after the Zhao Family dealt with the Jing Family and the Lin Family, they would be the next target.

Who could see so clearly into the future to know that the Jing Family would triumph?

The third wave of rewards targeted those families from the Jing Family camp that had not gone into battle.

These clans had chosen to stand with the Jing Family before the war, yet they did not support the Jing Family during it, which greatly displeased Jing Yan and the rest of the family.

The rewards given to them were even less, not even on par with those non-combatant families from the Zhao Family camp—just some Spirit Stones and no Elixirs at all.

“Young Master Jing Yan!”

Someone couldn’t help but voice their objection.

“Clan Leader Xu, do you have something to say?” Jing Yan looked towards the speaker.

The Xu Family was one of the families within the Jing Family camp but had chosen not to engage in the battle, watching from the sidelines.

“Yes, I’d like to say a few words,” Clan Leader Xu said a bit stiffly, taking a deep breath.

“I want to know why even those families like the Shui Family from the Zhao Family camp received Elixir rewards, while we families from the Jing Family camp receive nothing but Spirit Stones?”

As Clan Leader Xu spoke, many other clan leaders looked at Jing Yan.

They too had similar questions, though they didn’t have the nerve to ask like Clan Leader Xu.

To be honest, if it weren’t for Jing Yan’s previous rewards to other families, they would have been overjoyed and grateful to receive just some Spirit Stones from the Jing Family.

But it’s the comparison that’s distressing—after making comparisons, they couldn’t help but feel the unfairness.

Others received so many resources, and they got only some Spirit Stones.

“Although the Liu Family, Ma Family, and Li Family receive generous rewards from you, Young Master Jing Yan, and we understand that, but now, even those families from the Zhao Family camp receive Elixir rewards, while we, from the Jing Family camp, get only some Spirit Stones.

That’s unfair!” Clan Leader Xu said, neck stiff as he stared at Jing Yan.

Having said his piece, he let go of his restraint.

Hearing Clan Leader Xu’s words, Jing Yan smiled, squinting his eyes at him.

Feeling Jing Yan’s gaze, Clan Leader Xu’s scalp tingled with unease; of course, he was frightened.

Jing Yan could kill four Dao Spirit Realm experts single-handedly, eliminating him, an Innate Martial Artist, would probably be as effortless as lifting a finger.

“Since you find it unfair, then let me ‘have a talk’ with you,” Jing Yan said with a twitch of his mouth.

“You, Clan Leader Xu, have also said that you are one of our Jing Family camp’s families.

Let me ask you, where was your Xu Family when my Jing Family was being attacked by the Zhao Family?

If my Jing Family couldn’t count on your Xu Family’s support during times of crisis, what right does your Xu Family have to call themselves one of the Jing Family camp’s families?” Jing Yan demanded, his voice stern.

Sweat beaded on Clan Leader Xu’s forehead.

“But those families from the Zhao Family camp also didn’t help the Jing Family, did they?” Clan Leader Xu glanced at the clan leaders of families like the Shui Family, once from the Zhao Family camp.

“Well said!” Jing Yan sneered.

“Families from the Zhao Family camp, in this battle, setting aside my personal stance, should have helped the Zhao Family against my Jing Family.

But they didn’t do so, and in my eyes, that stands as merit to my Jing Family.

Hence, they receive more rewards than your Xu Family.”
