1022 Two Major Events
Wang Wei walked into the throne room where Ao Shen was waiting. His face was still pale but better than the last time they saw each other.
Wang Wei slowly sat down:
"What happened to make you in such a hurry?"
"My people did something egregious, and I wanted to apologize," replied Ao Shen before cupping his hand and bowing deeply. Wang Wei looked in the distance and uttered, "I see."
"Where is the kid?"
Ao Shen waved his hand, and the captured Wang Clan members appeared in the middle of the room. The young man looked at Ao Shen with eyes that wished to spew fire before bowing to Wang Wei;
"Patriarch."
"What's your name?"
"The little one is Wang Shirong."
"Shirong? Scholar of Honor? That's an excellent name."
"Thank you, patriarch, for the compliment,"
replied Wang Shirong trying to control his emotions. Every Wang Clan member knew of the legendary tale and accomplishments of the patriarch. There is even debate on who is a better patriarch and Emperor-the Ancestor, Qiyuan, or the current Heavenly Emperor.
To Shirong, there is no debate that the Heavenly Emperor is better. However, people in the clan are so used to blindly worshiping the Ancestor that this pointless conversation keeps going on.
He knew how many bragging rights he would have after returning to the clan and telling these people he met the patriarch, and the latter praised his name.
"How is your injury?" asked Wang Wei.
"Nothing serious." The scratches on his body had already healed, so there were no injuries, but he could not readily admit that.
"Why didn't you use the clan's name to save yourself?"
The Wang Clan has started to send their members to different worlds as a form of training and tempering; these people won't receive a Dao Protector and must rely on them. However, they are thought to use the clan's name and power in case of emergency. The only negative effect of doing so is receiving a lower evaluation unless the situation is truly unavoidable.
"I wanted to, but these demons did not give me an opportunity," he replied with gritted teeth.
"Luckily, you're alright," nodded Wang Wei before glancing at Ao Shen. "You only need to compensate the kid, and the situation will be resolved."
The proud dragon's heart skipped a beat as he would not believe these words. He had analyzed how the Dao Opening Sect operated and knew they would not care if their clan member was killed or even captured by another genius.
However, they would not accept an older and more powerful cultivation capturing their own- especially for their clan's bloodline.
Given how potent and supreme their bloodline has become, such an act is probably taboo to them. The Heavenly Emperor might not care about such a small event, but what about after he leaves? What if the Wang Clan holds a grudge?
What if they use this event in the future to attack or intervene in the affairs of the demon race?
With all these things to consider, Ao Shen knew he could not solve this issue without the utmost satisfaction level for all parties. A space ring appeared in his palm, and he handed it to the kid.
"This space ring contained many rare resources to develop the bloodline. Consider it compensation for what my people did."
Wang Shirong did not immediately take the ring despite his excitement. He instead looked at Wang Wei and only took it after the latter nodded.
He then bowed politely before leaving the throne room; he was smart enough to know when to exit and not participate in these grownup affairs.
Wang Wei watched this young human fiendgod's departing back and secretly praised how smart this kid was.
"Your majesty, this is to thank you for making resolving this problem so swift and easy," continued Ao Shen as he held a scroll in his hands. It flew to Wang Wei on the throne, and he read the title: Merit Transition Method.
"I accept your kindness," nodded Wang Wei. Ao Shen bowed before leaving the room and teleported back to the North. He headed directly to his cultivation room and immediately activated the formation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He punched the walls repeatedly while his dragon roar echoed and bounded between the halls. He was not stupid and had figured it out. Most of the top Emperor Lineages had contacted him about the Merit Transition Method, except for the Dao Opening Sect.
